Longest chapter so far. Thanks for the reviews, and this is a small time skip, just up to the sale. Some drama in this part, but not much. Enjoy!
Hinata was lying on the couch, reading a fairly long book while she waited for her husband to call to say when everything was set up and ready to sell. Naruto wanted her to wait until everything was ready so she wouldn't strain herself. He was a good husband, but he got a little over protective from time to time. She put the book down and looked at her now growing stomach.
"Four long months…can't you get any bigger? Your making me worried." Hinata said to her stomach. She was anxious for it to get out, but she was also enjoying herself. The phone rang and she answered it right away.
"Come on down now, everything's ready." Naruto's voice said as soon as she answered it.
"Ok, be right there." She said, then hung up and got ready. The weather was getting colder so she put on her spring jacket, put her shoes on, grabbed her purse and left the building. She walked down the road, stopping to talk to some of her friends on the way. Shikamaru, his wife Temari and their twins Akira and Koyuki walked with her to the park, heading there anyway.
Akira was the most curious little boy ever, and every time he saw something new he had to stop, look, and ask a million questions about whatever it was. He asked plenty of questions like any other four year old should. He had his fathers chocolate brown eyes and his mothers dirty blond hair.
Koyuki on the other hand was a shy, yet extremely sweet four year old. To her, Hinata and Naruto were like family, not that they weren't to Akira, but she looked forward to every time she got to see her parents' friends. Koyuki had her father's brown hair and her mother's dark blue eyes, unlike her brother.
When she learned that Hinata was going to the park too she gripped Hinata's hand and tugged her along the road.
"Naruto and you are having that sale thing today aren't you?" Shikamaru asked as they walked together.
"Yeah, that's why I'm heading down there." She nodded. Koyuki skipped next to her and Akira ran ahead of them. Hinata watched them and smiled.
"They are so cute." She said to the parents.
"Thanks. Just wait until yours is born; I guarantee it will be cute. They always are." Temari said. Shikamaru ran ahead and chased his son, eventually catching him and giving him a piggy back ride back over to them. Temari bent down and scooped up Koyuki.
"Want to stop by for a minute?" Hinata asked when they turned into the large park.
"When we're done. We promised them we'd play with them on the playground first. Good luck with the sales!" Shikamaru said, waving as he and his family left to the playground. Hinata waved and headed off in the opposite direction.
When she got there she saw several long folding tables filled with Naruto's old stuff, and Naruto already talking to a few of their customers.
"Thought you'd never get here!" Naruto laughed when she walked over to him. She patted his cheek playfully and went to the spot they set up for collecting the money. Once she sat down a woman and her child came up to her, the woman had one of Naruto's old games and the kid had one of the stuffed animals they decided on giving away. Hinata got the money and put it in the lunch box they were using for a cash register.
"Thank you." Hinata said as they walked away. She watched and waited as people came and went when they saw nothing of interest on the tables. She pulled out her purse from under the table and pulled out her book.
"You really like that book don't you?" Naruto said, wandering over to her. She nodded and flipped the page.
"It's getting really good." She mumbled as she continued reading. Naruto smiled.
"We already sold a lot of stuff before you came here." He said, walking down to the tables to make sure some stuff had price stickers on them. Hinata just turned the page when she heard a familiar voice.
"Hinata!" Hinata looked up to see Sakura waving at her. She waved back and Sakura came running over.
"Haven't seen you in a while. How are you?" Sakura asked when she reached her.
"Same old same old." Hinata shrugged, marking her page and putting the book away.
"Well you look great. Any name ideas yet?" Sakura asked.
"Not yet. We're waiting until we find out if it's a boy or girl." she said, standing up to talk to her best friend.
"Haven't been seen by your father yet huh?" Sakura asked with a slight sly tone to it.
"No, and I don't think I want to anytime soon." Hinata said, the edge in her voice clear to show that she meant it. Sakura leaned over slightly and her expression changed.
"Um…I don't think your gonna be able to not see him." she said. Hinata spun around and saw none other than Hiashi and Neji just coming over to their little sale.
"Hide me!" Hinata whispered quickly, turning back to Sakura. Sakura nodded, grabbed her hand and pulled her away, down to the other end of the park.
"HEY! Where are you going?!" Naruto called, but when he turned around he knew the answer. Neji walked over to him and looked around.
"Where's Hinata?" he asked urgently.
"She left with Sakura, to hide I think." Naruto said, glancing over his shoulder quickly.
"Good. Oh, father!" Neji gasped when Hiashi tapped his shoulder roughly.
"Hm…I remember you." Hiashi said gruffly, indicating Naruto.
"Y-yeah…I remember you as well…" Naruto said nervously. Hiashi crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"I hope you stayed away from my daughter." Hiashi said coldly.
"I thought you kicked her out of the family." Naruto said boldly. Hiashi glared at him.
"Your brave boy." He hissed.
"Hinata's dead. She died on the street from starvation." Neji said quickly, trying to stop them before a fight broke out.
"That's right." Hiashi said quietly, as if he just remembered it. He took a look around at the items then added, "You have tacky items boy." and left. Neji stayed behind for a moment.
"Cheerful man." Naruto said sarcastically. "How did you even get him to come here?"
"I don't know, he wanted to see what was here I guess. Tell Hinata I said hi, and congratulations." Neji said. Naruto thanked him. Neji bought one thing and left, just to help them out with buying a new home.
Told ya it was long. No reviews, no updates! Those are the rules
