AN: Sorry for the somewhat long update. But it's here so yay! Enjoy.


Chapter 7.

Walking into the kitchen Hinata saw Mikoto sitting at the table with her head hanging low with her index fingers pointing together. It reminded her so much of herself when she was younger every time she did that.

Smiling Hinata walked up to her daughter and tapped her shoulder. Mikoto looked up at her with large black eyes, "Ready M-mommy?" she asked quietly.

Hinata nodded walking over towards the kitchen counter and started getting things out as Mikoto get her little stool out and stood next to her mother waiting for Hinata to give her something to do to help.

As Hinata was getting things ready she would occasionally look over towards the Living room where Sasuke was seated on the couch with his head in his hands. Hinata frowned, she wanted to help but this was something between her husband and daughter. They were so much alike it's scary. Sighing Hinata looked down at Mikoto and patted her head.

Mikoto looked up at her mother and smiled slightly. "When d-do we s-start cooking, mommy?"

"In a bit Miko, First I need you to do something for me."

Mikoto raised an eyebrow "What?"

Hinata looked up towards Sasuke again for a moment, Mikoto followed her mothers gaze "You see how sad your Daddy looks right now?"

Mikoto nodded slowly, "I-Is daddy sad b-because of me?"

Hinata shook her head, "It's not because of you, Miko, Your daddy loves to be in control of situations, It's how he's always been, he always knew what to do, no matter what, he had a solution. When it came to what happened in the park he was at a total loss of what to do."

"So d-daddy doesn't hate m-me?"

"Of course not, he can never hate you, no matter what you do."

Mikoto smiled and hopped down from her stool.

"Where are you going?"

Mikoto turned around and smiled, "I'm going to make daddy happy again." She said walking towards the Living Room. Hinata giggled and watched her daughter walk out of the kitchen.

Mikoto walked up to the sofa where Sasuke was currently staring at a scroll in front of him. Mikoto sat next to her father, putting her feet on the coffee table in front of her. She nervously pointed her index fingers together, she didn't normally get nervous around her father but this time was different.

Sasuke who while reading the scroll was watching his daughter closely. He was surprised when she latched on to his arm suddenly hugging it tight. Sasuke smiled, everything was okay now, and so with his free arm he pushed Mikoto on her back and tickled her. The sound of her laugher rang through the house.

Sasuke loved the sound of Mikoto's laughter as long as she wasn't crying he was happy. He stopped tickling her and gave her a big hug. He still felt he needed to apologize to her about the way he acted.

"Mikoto, about today.." He was cut off by Mikoto shaking her head.

"It's o-okay Daddy, Mommy t-told me." She said with a smile.

"Oh she did, did she?" Sasuke said looking over to where Hinata was standing and winked at her. Hinata blushed and walked back into the kitchen to finish dinner. Mikoto giggled at her parents actions.

Mikoto looked up at her father. "So is daddy happy again?"

Sasuke picked the small girl up and put her in his lap. "Of course I'm happy, I'll always be happy as long as you are happy, deal?"

Mikoto smiled and nodded "Deal."

She was glad that she got her daddy happy again. She hated when he or anyone was sad. Especially because of something she did. She'll never do anything like what she did today at the park again.

"No more kissing boys, not until you are twenty-five." Sasuke said.

"Sasuke!" Hinata yelled, hearing what Sasuke just said.

"What? Twenty-five is the perfect age for her to kiss a boy." He nodded at his own agreement.

Hinata then came into the living room wiping her hands on her apron and stood behind the sofa. "Twenty-five is so far away, besides weren't we around Miko's age when we had our first kiss?"

"That's was different, times have changed, boys are only after one thing."

"You sound like my father besides, Shika is only six. I bed he doesn't even know what that 'thing' is."

Sasuke pouted slightly at being compared to Hinata's father. "I don't sound like him." he muttered.

Hinata giggled and kissed Sasuke's cheek. "You're cute." She giggled more when she saw the faint blush on his cheek. Mikoto smiled at her parents, though she didn't really know what 'thing' were talking about.

"Mikoto wanna finish helping me cook dinner?"

Mikoto nodded and hopped off the sofa and ran into the kitchen. After she left Hinata turned to follow when she felt a tug at her hand. She looked down at Sasuke, who was still blushing.

"Thanks." He said.

Hinata smiled and bent down and gave Sasuke a quick peck on the lips. "Anytime." She said then walked into the kitchen.
