At some point in the night, Kaito had crawled into bed with Hinata and she just accepted this and cradled him in her arms. His little puffs of breath against her, warmed her heart. She was so glad for him, she didn't want to think about her life if he wasn't in it. Even though he was an accident, she loved him with all of her heart. Everything she did, she did for him. She snuggled even closer to him and closed her eyes and dreamt a fuzzy dream about rock stars and talk shows.

When morning woke, her beloved son was wiggling in her arms.

"Mama can't breathe!" Barely awake, she pulled away from him and he dramatically gasped for air. If her eyes were open, she would have rolled them.

"Mama I want to see Daddy! Let's get breakfast." Hinata hummed and tried to ignore him crawling all over her. She furrowed under the blankets so he whispered in her ear about all the things he wanted to do that day. She grunted and finally got up.

"Okay but let's get you dressed and ready to go first." She walked over to their bag and pulled out his clothes for the day and he excitedly put them on. Well there was a first for everything, she thought. While she also got ready for breakfast in the bathroom there was a knock on the door. She hurriedly put on a robe and walked out to open the door to a nervous looking Naruto.

"Hey guys! Um I wanted to see if you wanted to have breakfast with the rest of us this morning. We're about to head out again but we usually eat breakfast at the hotels, if we can manage." Hinata was quite shocked at that.

"Um sure we can. Where's Sasuke?"

"Yeah that's kind of why I'm here. He's a bit preoccupied at the moment. He'll meet us later, maybe." He added hesitantly.

"Okay we'll be ready in about five minutes." Hinata said before saying goodbye to him.

"Daddy's not coming?" Kaito asked sadly.

"I'm not sure. Daddy's busy right now but you can see all your uncles okay?" He beamed at that.

"Okay!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her quickly out of their room. She tried keeping up with her son but failed exponentially. She ran with him and almost stumbled on the carpet when a pair of hands caught her.

"Whoa there! You okay?" Naruto's sunny face warmed her instantly.

"Yeah I'm fine. Where's Kaito?" She asked nervously.

"Gaara's got him." His thumb pointed where her little boy was talking animatedly and Gaara was listening very intently to what was being said.

"Come on let's get some grub." Naruto pulled on her forearm and they weaved towards their table where the band sat save for their lead singer. She sat nestled between Naruto and Kakashi while Kaito was sitting in Gaara's lap coloring on a piece of paper the waitress had given him.

She caught up with the band's latest gossip from their dating lives to what was up with all of their families. It was so nice to fit back into the amazing picture they painted. She was afraid that once her and Sasuke had gotten divorced that all the ties she had with them would be severed for good but it looked like she was being irrational in her thoughts.

While she was talking to Kisame she noticed him look over her shoulder and his eyes widened hysterically. She tried to turn her head but Kisame was distracting her with questions until Kaito got up and ran from Gaara's lap. She followed his movements, ready to take off after him until she saw that she was running straight into Sasuke's arms. What she wasn't expecting was the pink haired woman next to him looking at him with awe.

"Oh my gosh Sasuke he is so cute!" She squealed and she could tell that Kaito was extremely hesitant about Sakura who was now clinging onto Sasuke. His head pulled back as she got closer and he even narrowed his eyes at her. She also witnessed Sasuke switch Kaito to the other side of him, farther from Sakura and hold onto their son just a smidge tighter than normal.

What was Sakura doing there? Did Sasuke invite Sakura over once Hinata and Kaito got settled into their room last night? And she definitely didn't appreciate the extreme emotions she was feeling watching Sakura eye her child like a damn hyena. It was almost like she was willing herself to be a part of his life already. Hinata clenched her fist around her knife, unknowingly.

Hinata's mood must have been affecting the entire table because she heard Kakashi clear his throat which caused Sasuke to look up. His face twisted into something unrecognizable. Hinata could feel her face heat up and was about to stand up until Kakashi kept a steady grip on her forearm.

"Don't leave. You're the one we want to spend time with." Kakashi said quietly enough to where Sakura couldn't hear but she narrowed her eyes at the older man, getting the gist of what he was trying to say. But it looked like Sakura had nowhere to be other than with Sasuke. Hinata shrugged off Kakashi's hand and gave him a small smile.

"It's okay. I have some things to do anyways. I won't be a stranger I promise." She looked at each of them. "I don't know if I'll see you later today but if I don't, thank you for spending time with us. It was fun seeing you at the concert. You all have grown so much and I appreciate catching up with all of you. Please let me know if and when you want to come over. You are all more than welcome in our household." She hugged each of them and afterwards walked over to where Sasuke and Sakura were standing, trying to calm her nerves.

"When you're done with him, just let me know. You know where my room is." She didn't miss the nasty look that Sakura gave Sasuke and she strolled out of the dining area, willing her tears not to fall.

"Nice going dipshit." She heard Naruto comment behind her and for once Sasuke had no retort.

She made her way back to the hotel room and immediately decided that she should splurge on herself and take a luxurious bath. She never was able to take baths with Kaito around and even when he wasn't she always felt rushed when she took one. So, she was going to relax if it killed her.

She sighed when she submerged herself under all the bubbles. It felt like heaven and this was definitely distracting her from the thought of another woman maybe stepping in and taking her place. She frowned. Okay so maybe it wasn't doing as good of a job as she thought. She slipped a little further into the tub.

She didn't want Kaito to have a step mom just yet. She knew Sasuke said it wasn't serious with Sakura but if that was the case then why did he invite her to stay at the hotel when he had also invited Hinata? Had he wanted the two to meet officially? That didn't sound like something Sasuke would do. Did she invite herself? Hinata didn't know much about Sakura except that she was a talented actress. Should she do some research? She didn't want their son hanging out a woman who wasn't trustworthy. She needed to not be judgmental about the situation, she decided. The part that was getting under her skin the most was how Sasuke was acting. He was so hot and cold.

First, he tries to seduce her just last week and now he brings his new girlfriend after the amazing night her and Kaito had together at his concert, at his suggestion? She was starting to get whiplash and she was not having it. Maybe Kiba was right. She might need to move on to get over whatever she was feeling for her ex-husband. She ducked her head under the water and held her breath. It was so quiet under the water, it was so peaceful. It would remind her of the days where her and her sister would have breath-holding contests at their family pool back home. She needed to contact Hanabi soon or-

A hand grasped her arm and pulled her out of the water. She immediately covered her breasts and glared at a pale face.

"Sasuke!" She gasped. She tried to make sure he couldn't see anything so she tried to dip lower into the water. Her heart was racing a mile a minute at the unwanted intrusion. She was really regretting letting Sasuke getting the spare key to her room.

"What the hell were you doing?!" He snapped at her. She had finally noticed that he was soaked to the bone from her splashing out of the tub. Good, she thought.

"I was just underwater for a second." She tried to calmly explain. He crossed his arms.

"That was longer than a second!" She rolled her eyes.

"Get out of the bathroom!" Any other time he would have smirked at her and ignored that statement, but not this time it seemed.

"No. Why did you storm away like that?" Concern seemed to be rolling off him in waves.

"I didn't want to ruin your party and the bath was calling my name. But now it's been ruined, so thank you for that. I appreciate your concern but please leave unless you have something important to tell me." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Hmm, no hickeys on his neck this time it would appear, she thought.

"Me and the guys are taking Kaito to the mall for an hour or so and then I'll bring him back. Okay? Sorry about the bath, you just freaked me out." He murmured that last part quietly. She noticed how he specifically said 'the guys' instead of 'the group'.

"I'm fine Sasuke. Don't worry about me. Go have fun with Kaito while you can." He looked like he wanted to say more to her but didn't press it as he backed away and turned for the door.

"Those bubbles didn't cover up much by the way." He said as he walked out the door and she turned bright red when she noticed the bubbles had moved from where they started. She sank deeper into the bath. She had suddenly wished the tub would swallow her whole and take her somewhere other than there. Once he finally left, she shrank back into the bath and tried to find solace in the now tepid water. Unsurprisingly, she was unable to relax.

The next hour or two passed pretty quickly. She didn't bring any assignments to grade with her because she thought her and Kaito would be long gone by then so she flipped on the television. She grunted and immediately changed the channel when she saw a familiar pink head of hair.

She settled on some television documentary series about the planet. The man's British voice had lulled her into a light sleep because the next thing she knew was Kaito waking her up and Sasuke smirking at her.

"Hey bud what did you and Daddy do?" She asked as she willed herself to wake up.

"Shopping! He bought me cool shoes!" She looked up at Sasuke and he shrugged.

"And a few other things."

"Did you thank him?" Kaito nodded fervently and she smiled.

"Okay well Mommy is tired and wants to go home. Are you ready to leave?" She saw their son's eyes water and her eyes watered as well. This was the absolute worst part about co-parenting with Sasuke.

"Hey bud please don't cry. I will see you again real soon, okay? Mommy will take good care of you, like she always does. Let's pack up your stuff okay?" He nodded with silent tears rolling down his still chubby cheeks. The next ten minutes were tense and very quiet. Not even Kaito was saying anything. Sasuke wouldn't put Kaito down the entire time. Hinata grabbed their bag and followed the two out to their more modest car that was about to drive them home.

"I love you Kaito, please don't ever forget that." Sasuke said quietly as he looked their son in the eyes. She busied herself with putting the car seat in while also putting their bags in the back but she could hear every word said between father and son.

"I love you too." Kaito said quietly. "Do you have to go?" He mumbled, voice thick with tears again.

"I'm sorry. I'll be back as soon as I can. Please be good for your mom. She does a lot for you. Help her out while I'm gone, okay?"

"Yes Daddy." Kaito tried to sound strong but the big droplets rolled down his cheeks and she could tell even Sasuke was starting to be affected. She knew this was always the hardest thing he would always do. She watched him buckle their son in his car seat and then bent down to kiss Kaito on the forehead and wiped away his tears with his thumbs. He quietly shut the door and waved to him through the car window. Kaito sadly waved back. Hinata was surprised he wasn't having a full on break down right now. Unfortunately, that was more often the case than not.

"I hate doing that." He said simply. Hinata gave him a hug in response. She tried to pull away after a few seconds but he just held on to her.

"Every time I see him I just want to quit the band and run away with the two of you somewhere secluded and live the rest of our days in peace." He murmured into her hair and she squeezed him tighter.

"You know you wouldn't be happy doing that. You love what you do." She said simply. He gave a wet laugh.

"I know but it's a nice dream, isn't it?" She hummed in response. "Let me know when you get home. I'll contact you in a few days. There's something I want to talk to you about but I need to make sure the details are hammered out with the band before I let you know."

"You know I hate surprises." She said into his shoulder.

"I know. It's nothing bad. The band is thinking about taking a break." He whispered.

"What?" She pulled back to look at his face. He was extremely serious.

"Don't worry. It wouldn't be permanent. But everyone's a little tired from touring 24/7 and we're all a little homesick. We were thinking about taking six months off before even thinking about returning to work. It's a bit up in the air at the moment." Her jaw hung open and he narrowed his eyes at her.

"This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you yet. Nothing is certain as of right now but I just thought I would give you a heads up. I'll know more by the end of the month." She nodded dumbly and he smiled.

"Alright, well you guys should head out. It's getting late. Thanks for coming, I had fun and I know the guys were glad to see you two."

"It was good seeing them too and it was an amazing concert. Thank you for everything." He smiled at her before kissing her on the forehead, something he hadn't done since they had Kaito.

"Bye Hinata." He turned and went back into the hotel while waving lazily to her.

"Bye Sasuke." She said quietly, watching him walk away.

She got into the car next to Kaito and watched the driver pull away. Not even a few minutes later her phone started buzzing. She frowned when she saw Naruto's name blaring at her on the screen. She wondered what Naruto was doing calling her.

"Naruto?" She asked with curiosity leaking into her voice.

"Hey Hinata! I forgot to ask you something when you were here. You kind of bolted at breakfast so I didn't know how to ask." He said sheepishly through the phone.

"Ask me what?" Did he want to hang out with Kaito and her? He was basically Sasuke's brother so the thought made sense.

"Um, I don't know how to start really?" He hesitated before taking a deep breath and resuming. "I always had a crush on you in high school before Sasuke asked you out but after that I tried not to look at you that way again because bro code, you know? But now that he's kind of doing his own thing, I was wondering if I could take my chance and ask you on a date?" She dropped the phone in response. After a few seconds, she realized what she did and scurried to pick it back up.

"Hinata?" He asked worriedly. "It's okay if you don't want to. I totally understand. I was trying to give you time when you guys split and Sasuke always seemed hung up on it but I think he's finally moving on and I want to help you move on too. No pressure, I'm not asking for your hand in marriage or anything. I just want one night to treat you to a night out on the town, that's all!" He kept stammering and freezing, seeming unsure with his words. She flinched a couple times because he was so blunt sometimes but her face was flaming red. Naruto had a crush on her in high school? She never even realized it. She was always so focused on studies before Sasuke barged into her life.

"Hinata? Are you going to say something?" His voice got a little bit higher with that question.

"Yes, I will." She breathed.

"Awesome. I'll text you days of when I'm available and then we can find a day that works for you. This is so great. I'll talk to you soon. I have to go. Bye Hinata!" She told him goodbye and just stared at her phone while trying to process what had just happened.

If Sasuke was starting to move on with his life than it was time that she move on too. Besides, if anyone was deserving a little bit of fun and happiness, it was definitely her.

A/N: Okay so I rushed out this chapter as soon as possible because it's almost been two weeks since the last update, for that I'm sorry. I will NEVER abandon this story. I love it way too much. And I just wanted to give you all an FYI-if you guys ever give me a review or message me I will always respond. I love talking to you guys about this story and hearing what you have to say. If you guys take the time out of your precious day to give me feedback I will definitely take time out of mine to respond. It may take me a while to respond to everyone but I definitely will. You guys are awesome. Thank you for all the reviews/follows/faves. It was funny because when my sister came over she saw some of the pages I had handwritten while I was at work and she was like "ew gross why couldn't your story be about Naruto and Hinata. Hinata and Sasuke aren't meant to be" and I was just like "oh you sweet summer child you have no idea" lol. And clearly you guys agree with me. Next chapter will probably be up this weekend! 3
