I wanted to update this at least one more time before this month's end. So here it is thank you for all the support! Really makes me happier than you'll know.

Chapter 8

A months time had passed since Hinata told Naruto the news and after went basically went around screaming Hinata was pregnant the gossip spread like wildfire. Within 24 hours everyone in the village knew, even Hiashi.

Once he had learned of Hinata's pregnancy he simply went out to 'talk' to Naruto while grabbing one of the Hyuga family's treasured swords. Needless to say Naruto was chased around the village for a while by a blade-wielding Hiashi for about a half hour. It ended with Naruto on his hands and knees saying he'd take full responsibility. Hiashi had explained to Naruto that being the Hyuga heiress Hinata and having becoming pregnant before marriage was a big deal. He told him that the Hyuga clan is a noble and well-respected so having their heiress having a, as Hiashi put it bluntly Hinata having a bastard child wouldn't make her image look good.

Naruto took great offensive to this and told Hiashi he didn't give a damn what people would think, but did understand what Hiashi meant. He didn't want to make Hinata look bad so he agreed to the idea of getting married. The only problem was Hinata would she agree to the idea? And was it too soon to marry? Was it right to get married just because of her pregnancy? All of these questions made Naruto hesitate.

He loved Hinata, he really did. And he did want to marry her one day, have a family together, to grow old together. She was his new dream, but he wasn't planning on starting that dream this early.

In the end Naruto, Hinata and Hiashi had a meeting to determine their future, and of their child. Being apart of the Hyuga clan if the child had the Byakugan he or she might be given the Bird Cage Seal. This frightens Hinata to no end, well Naruto wasn't going to let that happen no matter that. Even Hiashi agreed with the two and wasn't going to let that happen to his grandchild. So in order to protect the child Hinata was to marry into Naruto's family name, Uzumaki. Hinata almost fainted right then and there at the idea of them being married and becoming Naruto's bride.

So it was settled the two, Hyuga Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto were to marry in one month's time. Invitations were sent all over the world. From the five great nations, to other villages like Wave and Spring. It was a surprise to hear the two were getting married to the Konoha 12 but the girls were ecstatic to hear the news. Sasuke seemed supportive, Shikamaru and Choji were indifferent, and Sai was a little sadden he couldn't call Naruto dickless anymore. Kiba and Shino made it clear though they'd skin Naruto alive if he did anything to make Hinata upset or sad, which was a threat he took seriously.

So here Naruto was standing in front of a mirror with his wedding outfit on. He was wearing a black tuxedo with an orange outlining and a small red rose on the right side of his chest. He took in a deep breath was he looked at himself "Ok this should do."

"Hey finally done?" Came a voice.

Naruto turned to see his best friend and best man Sasuke also in his formal wear "Hey teme." He smiled "Can you believe it, I'm getting married today...me." He said in an almost unbelieving voice.

Sasuke smirked "Well you come a long way from your days at the academy. From zero to hero right? But no matter what you'll always be a dope to me."

Naruto chuckled "And you'll always be a teme to me." He joked back.

"Hope you two aren't fighting again." Sakura walking in with her pink blossom dress. "Naruto we're going to begin in ten minutes just wanted to let you know. And you should get ready too Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke nodded to his now girlfriend "Got it."

"I'll be with the other girls." Sakura along with Ino, Tenten, and Hanabi were the wedding's bride's maids for the day.

As she left Naruto spoke "She's waiting for you man."

Sasuke turned to Naruto questionably "What do you mean? We're already together." He crossed his arms.

Naruto shook his head "I meant like for you to pop the question. Ever since you've been back at the village she was been all over you and has been taking care of you as if you were her husband. I mean I wasn't planning on marrying so young, not trying to rush you over anything but she's been waiting for years for you so at least an engagement should be enough right? I mean she's the one right?" He explained to the Uchiha.

Sasuke sighed as he stared at the floor "I can't, at least not yet." He then picked up his head and looked the blonde in his face "After all I did, I just don't feel like I deserved to. Even if we do marry and have children what will they think of me? What will happen if they find out that they come from a clan cursed by evil? One that was so power hungry it got themselves killed? What will I do if they learn of my past, what I've done to Sakura?" He closed his eyes "They might grow to hate me, or ashamed of their heritage? And if they're targeted because they're my children." He clutched his chest over his heart "I don't think I can take that Naruto, I've lost so much once. I don't want to risk losing it all again." He said with a painful face.

"Sasuke." Naruto said as he gripped his shoulder "You're scared of moving forward and you fear the unknown future. That's fine we all do eventually! We have doubts and think about what ifs, but we still do what our heart tells us to do. Even if it only brings more pain, we have to believe in ourselves and others. And believe in our future, I fear what may happen after today. Anything can happen to Hinata or my child, but I won't let that fear stop me from moving forward and living my life. All I have to do is believe in myself and believe in other and that everything will work out in the end no matter that. So stop being such a scared little pussy cat, it's not like you ya know." He gave his friend a wide smile.

Sasuke blinked a few times as he took in what Naruto just said, he knew the dope was good with words even if didn't know it himself. The last Uchiha than hmped "Alright fine I hear you." He then turned to leave but turned around "Naruto, as long as I could remember you've been on my side. No matter what I did, no matter how far I sunk you were always there for me. Reaching your hand out even though I just kept pushing you and everyone else away." He sighed "What I'm trying to say is even though I treated you like shit, you never gave up on me. Thank you."

Naruto was dumbfounded at Sasuke's words "Wow well you're welcome. And I don't think of you as my best friend for nothing, I love you like a brother man." He put he hand over his shoulder.

"Brother huh? Funny because we were in past lives." He said referring to the Sage of Six Paths sons. "Now come on brother, you're got a wedding to attend.

With Hinata

The bride of today was currently puking up her breakfast in a bucket. Hinata was wearing a beautiful light blue kimono with some light makeup on, and her hair pent-up. Next to her Tenten was rubbing her back and Hanabi in front of her.

Ino was shaking her head "Of all the times to get morning sickness." She sighed.

Hanabi frowned "Onee-san are you ok? Maybe we should call this off." She suggested.

Hinata then almost instantly picked her head "No! Hanabi I'm fine I just need some time to get ready that's all." She said as she rubbed her stomach. She couldn't stress right now, not while she is with the child. But she couldn't help but get butterflies in her stomach as this date approached. Today she was to be married to Naruto, the boy she's has loved for years. It's should feel like a dream come true right? So why was she feeling this way?

"Hinata the guest are all here and accounted for, we're starting in about five minutes!" Sakura yelled into the room. As she stepped in she was hit with the smell of vomit and a paled face Hinata "Oh Kami-sama what happened?" She asked.

"Nee-san started to throw up all of a sudden." Hanabi said.

Sakura came a gripped Hinata's shoulder "Are you ok? If you need more time we can wait until you feel better."

Hinata shook her head "No, no it's mine and Naruto's wedding day." She then stood up "I'm not going to ruin this, and I don't want to wait anymore. I'm about to become Uzumaki Hinata." She then realized just what was about to happen "Uzumaki...Hinata." She then proceed to throw up in the bucket one more time.

Ino rolled her eyes "Tell them we might need some more time."

With Naruto

Naruto was standing there in front of the crowd of guest waiting for his bride to come out. Naruto had sweaty palms and was twitching a bit, honestly he felt like he was going to puke or shit himself. He had never felt so nervous in his life.

In the crowd on the right sitting down on rows was Naruto's guest. Tsunade, Shizune, Gai, Kurenai and her daughter, Konohamaru and his friends, and all of Naruto's other friends including old man Teuchi and Amaye. Also from Suna was Gaara and his siblings plus his girlfriend, from Kumo Killer Be, Iwa Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, and even Mei and her bodyguard Chojuro. She had a happy look on her face surprisingly, and Naruto was shocked she accepted the invitation in the first place. Also from Wave country was Tazuna and his daughter Tsunami with her son Inari. And even Koyuki Kazahana the queen of the Spring country and Naruto's old friend.

On the left side was Hinata's guest, the only one Naruto recognized was Hiashi. The rest he had no idea who they were and Naruto swore they all looked the same to him. And their all seeing eyes weren't helping with Naruto's confidence.

On his left was Sasuke, and Iruka the ring bearer and Kakashi was the wedding's priest.

All had gathered to see the Naruto and Hinata become one, to become man and wife.

Suddenly Sakura came and walked to Naruto's side and whispered something "I need to talk to Hinata quickly."

Naruto was confused but nodded "Huh sorry everyone just a minute please." Sakura took Naruto's hand and she led him to his soon to be wife.

The guest were confused and some worried at just what was going on but stayed seated.

"What's happening?" Kiba asked Shino who was sitting beside him.

Shino only shrugged "Something might of happened to Hinata."

Hearing this Kurenai feared Hinata was having some form of stage fright. She never liked being the center of attention "Hinata..."

Hinata head was dizzy and her body felt weak "I don't know if I can do this." She admitted to Hanabi.

Hanabi frowned "As much as I might want to call this all off, nee-san come on pull yourself together you can do this." She tried to encourage her sister. Tenten and Ino also had defeated looks on their faces.

"Hinata!" Came Naruto's voice.

"Baka! Don't go in, it's bad luck to see your bride before the wedding has started.

"But then what am I here for!?"

Hanabi sighed as she heard the blonde's voice "Naruto?" Hinata picked her head up.

"Hold on nee-san." Hanabi said as she walked out to confront Naruto "Hey." She got his attention "You need to talk to her, she's having second thoughts. And you're the only one for some reason that can talk some sense into her." She said.

Naruto nodded as he approached the door but didn't peek inside "Hinata?" He called out her name.

"Naruto?" Hinata said in a surprised voice "What are you doing here?"

"It doesn't matter. That's wrong? Why are you having second thoughts?" He asked.

Hinata shook her head "I don't know Naruto, I just can't shake some feeling I have. I mean I feel like this is all rushed, and we're only getting married because I'm pregnant." She lowered her head "I feel like this own day shouldn't exist."

Naruto sighed "Hinata like I said a month ago, I don't want to marry you just because you're carrying my child. I love you, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I want to get married together, raise that child together, have even more kids, to grow old together. That's my dream, our future and it can start today with this wedding."

"But.."

"No buts, Hinata please. Even if you're afraid or have any doubts it doesn't matter. I'm here with you today and now forever, please let's do this together I'll be right there beside you."

"Naruto.."

"Let's not disappointed everyone who came today, and more importantly let's not disappoint ourselves."

As Naruto finished Hinata picked her head up "Ok Naruto, I'll do and be strong for you. For our family."

Naruto smiled "That's what I like to hear, I need to get back see you in a bit love." He then quickly went back to the altar.

Not wanting to keep anyone waiting any longer Hinata took a deep breath and thought about Naruto's words just now. he was determined to see this through, and she too had too "Ok I'm ready." She said as her maids of honor smiled.

Naruto stood there for a few minutes after his talk with Hinata waiting and the doors of the church opened up. It had begun and Naruto's breath was taken away by what he saw. Beautiful, gorgeous, and amazing weren't enough to describe how Hinata looked to Naruto in her wedding kimono. As she walked down the aisle with her bride's maids and the flower girl Hanabi followed behind her. Time to slow down as she slowly approached before him, her cheeks red from blushing madly.

Naruto just stood there stunned by her beauty as the whole room was silent and the world around him stood still.

Hinata blushed harder due to Naruto's gaze "Naruto, could you stop staring so much? It's kinda of embarrassing." She asked avoiding eye contact.

Naruto was snapped out of his trance by her voice "Oh sorry Hinata, it's just you're just so.." He slowly rubbed her cheek "So breathtaking." He smiled lovingly at her.

Hinata's whole face turned red as she just stared into Naruto's eyes. The couple just stared at one another smiling until Kakashi spoke "Huh, I don't mean to interrupt you two but we have a wedding to start."

Naruto and Hinata then released what they had done and nodded "Sorry Kakashi-sensei let's get this thing started!" Naruto said as he and Hinata took their positions.

Kakashi looked between the two and began "Dear friends and family we are gathered here today to witness Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata become husband and wife. The son of the Yondaime Hokage and the war hero will be marrying the Hyuga heiress." He said "Now then the couple have prepared vows to one another and they will read them now." He then stepped back for two to begin.

Naruto smiled widely as he reached into his pocket to pull out a scroll "I guess I'll start than Hinata." He took a deep breath and started to read "Hinata, back when we were younger I would have never imagined we'd be here. Back then I thought you were a moody, timid, and pretty weird girl." He said Hinata put her head down in embarrassment. Naruto and the crowd had a small laugh at her actions "But you were strong too even if you lacked the self-confidence, you're the bravest person I know. And I'm happy we were friends, but I'm honored that we shared the same nindo. But I'm even more honored you fell in love with me..." Naruto paused "When you said you loved me, it was the first time I ever heard anyone say that to me. It was the biggest shock of my life, but at the same time I was happy. Happy someone saw me, was watching over me this entire time. I was always surrounded by hatred as a kid, I didn't understand something like love until I met my parents. Even though I may have rejected your feelings at first, I don't know why I even did it back then. Maybe a part of me was scared or something..." Naruto's face dropped as Hinata could slowly feel her eyes becoming watery "And that's one my biggest regrets of my life but I swear it will be my last." He then dropped the scroll and stroked Hinata right cheek "You're my first real and last love, you're my dream. The one I've been looking for, been waiting for..." He then smiled brightly "What I'm trying to say is I love you Hinata, now and forever. And as your husband, I promise to bring you nothing but happiness and joy, and to protect you and our unborn child. Believe it!" He finished his vow with a big goofy grin.

Hinata couldn't hold it anymore as she broke out in tears, Naruto just chuckled at her reaction. The crowd was silent but could feel the love in the air. The men in sitting down were surprised to hear Naruto sound so emotional, and the women had smiles on their faces with some even crying.

"That was beautiful Naruto." Sakura commented as the other bride maids nodded in agreement.

Hanabi just stood there amazed at the blonde's words "I guess he really does love nee-san." She thought.

Kakashi then spoke "Well Naruto that was very emotional and well done." He gave his old student a smile through his mask "Now then Hinata." He signaled her to begin.

Hinata herself together and wiped her tears away as Hanabi walked up and handed her a scroll. As she opened it a few tears started to fall onto the paper "Naruto." She began "I've always watched you from afar for as long as I could remember. I've always longed to be with you, to hold your hand. To be able to walk beside you, it was my dream. I wanted to be strong like my Oto-sama but kind like my Okaa-sama, but I had no natural talents as a Shinobi. I was deemed weak by others and not worthy to be the Hyuga heiress. I would always just give up and cry, until I met you." She smiled to her husband to be "You had no one, everyone treated you so badly. You weren't very good at anything in the academy, but even though you had no talent like me. Even though everyone laughed and mocked you, you never let that stop you. You kept going and never gave up. Your smile your nindo saved me, you Naruto made me believe in myself. If someone like you could keep going than a failure like me could also do it. It all started out as a simple crush but it over the years it turned into love. And I've loved you for years Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm honored to become Uzumaki Hinata and to give birth to your child ya know!" She finished with a goofy grin like Naruto as tears flowed for her face freely.

Naruto could have sworn he saw his mother's face flash when Hinata as smiled. Naruto blinked a few times and nodded, understanding it was a sign "Hinata."

Kakashi looked between the happy couple and spoke "Ok then, now if there are no objections to these two? If not then I Hatake Kakashi here by..."

"Wait one moment!" One random brown-haired woman cried out "I can not let this happen Naruto-kun belongs to me!" She screamed.

"No Naruto-sama is mine!" Another woman yelled.

"No! You bitches he's mine!" A third one yelled out.

Everyone was wide-eyed as the woman started to openly argue about who get Naruto and Kakashi turned to Naruto for an answer "Huh Naruto who the hell are they?" He asked.

Naruto rolled his eyes "Oh Kami-sama I remember them, just some women I messed around with." Naruto shamefully admitted.

Hinata narrowed her eyes and looked ready to kill "How dare they interrupt my wedding!" She growled.

Kakashi raised his eyebrow at this "Talk about bridezilla." He said "Hey Gaara-san would you mind?" He called out to the seated Kazekage.

The redhead then sat up and waved his hand back over to the arguing women and suddenly the three were then lifted by a wave of sand. As the three woman were blown out Naruto thanked the kage "No problem Naruto, now finish this wedding."

The blonde then nodded as Kakashi resumed "Ok then does anyone else have any objections?" He asked but of course no one answered "Then without further ado I Hatake Kakashi pronounce you both husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride."

As soon as he said that Naruto and Hinata were immediately on one another. Naruto gripped Hinata's right cheek softly as he and Hinata shared a passionate kiss, their first as a married couple.

As they released each other the crowd then started to cheer and clap widely. The two blushed at the embarrassment as they walked down the aisle, hand in hand.

Naruto then looked to his new wife "So how is it?" He asked.

Hinata looked up and smiled "It's all perfect." She answered as the two walked out of the church together walking towards their bright future.
