Te Wo Tsunagou: Let's Hold Hands

Chapter Eight: Hold Me Tight

Previously...


"You don't care." She slowly walked back to the bed only to collapse on the way there. The Sand Kazekage dropped to his knees and pulled her fragile body into his arms, laying her on the bed. "Temari! Kankuro! Get a medic-nin! Quickly!" He didn't think that he could feel this intense amount of caring rushing throughout his body as he scrambled around to find anything he thought would be useful.

"Hinata!" The older siblings yelled in unison and ran to the girl's side. Only fate could tell them what was coming next.


Gaara had not moved from Hinata's side for the past 4 days, he refused to even do his office work knowing she was in such a state. The news still had him in shock, He couldn't BELIEVE Hinata was now carrying his heir. It surprised him to know that she hadn't been aware of her own condition for this long. Would she still have refused to eat if she had known that they were now an expecting couple? How would she take that same news once she fully recovered? He was sure she'd be devastated to carry a child of someone she seemed to hate so much. The cobalt haired princess stirred in her sleep and turned to face him, he leaned in from his chair and admired her child like features as she snored softly. It had to have been the best rest she was possibly getting, her weight wasn't anywhere near where it should have been but she was more hydrated, her skin had an unnatural glow to it, the glow of pregnancy, he believed it was called.
She shimmered and radiated in a sense he could not describe. The cold-hearted Kazekage leaned in and pressed his mouth lightly into her own, slowly pulling back to stroke her cheek in the most gentle of manners. What was becoming of him? He had grown so soft with her as his wife now, he'd NEVER remembered being this nice to a damn soul much less this girl who laid infront of him on the satin sheets of their bed, the diamond wedding ring on her finger glittered and gleamed but could never compare to the lovely woman laying right infront of him.

"Sabuku No Gaara! How Dare yo-" Temari stopped in her tracks as she stood there watching her younger brother who was so close to the Hyuuga heiress, their lips grazing one another. She smiled at the beauty of their love which had changed her brother so much from the cold, calculating, killer he once had been. "I will get to my paperwork when my wife awakens." He dismissed his sister without even turning in her direction, simply waving his hand towards her as he ran his slightly calloused fingers along Hinata's smooth skin. He sighed deeply, she had heard the conversation between him and Sakura, and he would not lie and betray her.
She was his wife, even though it was arranged at first, he developed things for her he never thought was possible for anyone, and it was too late now to go back on his own feelings now. She had made him feel things he never believe existed until she became such a big part of his life. "Please wake up, my beloved." As if his prayer had been answered, his wife's milky pupiless eyes fluttered open to stare at him lovingly, she then suddenly turned her head the other way. "Let me tell you.. What I should have said from the beginning. We were an arranged marriage, I should have been truthful enough to tell you I was having sex with Sakura around the time of the engagement being broken off. She may have feelings but I only feel that way for you, Hinata Sabaku." His heart thumped slightly as he grasped her chin and tilted her head towards him, lowering his mouth to meet hers lovingly.
His emotions flew rampantly within their touching of lips before her pulled back to brush his thumb against the back of her hand. "I love you...Mother of my child, Woman who brings me happiness. I don't need anyone or anything else but you." He whispered, his cheeks burned furiously as he stalked out quickly before waiting for her reply. She laid there in shock , Mother of his child? What madness was he speaking to her? She couldn't have been pregnant! It was not true, he was playing with her head. Yet her body said otherwise, although she was so slender, she felt slightly plump.
Hinata laid there with a spinning head, not sure of how to feel or think at the moment of time. Her heart raced as she placed a hand on her stomach, rubbing at the tiniest of bumps that was at it's peak of protruding. Her eyes cracked open only the slightest amount, a tired smile tugging the corners of her lips upwards. The thought of having Gaara's child within her was horrifying and yet in the same it made her feel so heart warmed. She couldn't stop thinking about the fact that she would give him beautiful little red headed Gaara Junior's. A soft grin crossed her face as she simply laid there staring off into the dreamy land. A daze was where she remained, watching people shuffle about her in a blur to assist her in checking vitals and hydrating quickly
