Chapter 10
"Are you…sure?" Sasuke asked Hinata. He was sweating and obviously nervous. Hinata nodded.
"Yes. I think it's appropriate."
Sasuke gulped. This was the most dangerous mission of his life – it was a matter of life and death. Of course his missions were all a matter of life and death. But this mission is different. It is the life of another person. Hikari's.
"Sasuke-kun! Don't tell me you're scared of changing his diaper?!"
"N-no, that's not it… it's just…"
"Fine, then. I'll do it!" Hinata said and proceeded on changing her first-born's undies.
Hinata had decided to teach Sasuke about parenting. So far, he failed the first test: Diaper changing. Hinata let Hikari crawl on the carpeted floor of their bedroom when she was finished.
"B-but… that's so hard! I don't know what to do! Give me something easier!" Sasuke protested when Hinata told him that it's necessary for him to know these things.
"Okay, okay. Hmm... How about…" Hinata started to suggest something when Himiko Suddenly cried. It was time for her breakfast.
"Right! Feed Himiko with a bottle of milk!" Hinata said as she took a cup of powdered milk, a bottle with water already inside. "Of course the measure of the milk if already set and all you have to do is dunk it in the bottle, and make sure you hake it well, and give it to her." She said as she handed Sasuke the cup of powder.
Sasuke did as he was told to, and when his daughter was already gulping the milk he'd given her, he smiled so proudly that he looked like an idiot.
"Don't be happy, Sasuke. Everybody can do it." Hinata laughed, crushing Sasuke's pride and joy.
"W-well I guess it was too easy…" Sasuke said as he lied down on their bed once again.
Hikari wanted to reach something on the bed (A/N: Their room was a mess. Toys were all over the place). Hikari stood by himself and grab the stuff toy he wanted most. When he did, seeing Sasuke on the bed, he cried "Papa"
"Awww… did you hear that Sasuke-kun?" Hinata said, taking Hikari in her arms and sat next to Sasuke.
"Huh? Hear what?"
"Ow, daddy hadn't heard you call him! Why don't you say it again you cutey-cutey mushy boy? Call your gooey- weeny daddy again, Hikari—"
"Hinata."
"Now be goody goody and say 'daddy', my mushy wooshy--"
"Hinata…"
"-- giggly lovey cutey--"
"Hinata!"
"W-what?" Hinata asked. She was kissing Hikari's nose at the time.
"you're talking baby talk."
"Well, I am talking to a baby."
"That's not what I mean!"
"Daddy-o doesn't want me to talk to you, my tutti fruity…"
Sasuke sighed as Hinata continued to talk to Hikari that way. A few minutes later Hikari pouted.
And then he cried. Hinata gave Hikari to Sasuke as she got his own bottle and gave it to Hikari. By this time, Himiko had got her fill and was gurgling at some of her toys. Hinata took her from her crib and put her on their bed and started to 'baby talk' to her.

"Bathing time, Sasuke-kun." Hinata said with a sweet smile. It was 2:30 in the afternoon.
"Huh? You don't need to tell me that. I know when to take my bath. Or maybe... you wanna take a bath with m—"
"Sasuke-kun!! That's not what I mean!!" Hinata hid her face to hide the crimson fire that quickly covered her face.
Sasuke laughed. It was one of his favorite pastimes: teasing Hinata.
"I know, I know…" Sasuke said as he took Hikari and Himiko in his arms. He gave Himiko to Hinata as Hinata explained what he will do. With Hinata's instruction, he had successfully completed bathing the twins.
"See? It isn't so bad after all, nee?" Hinata said.
"Yeah. And I know how to change diapers!!" Sasuke said with a smile.
"So you're going to be a great dad after all huh?" Hinata teased. The twins yawned and soon they were asleep.
"Of course." Sasuke said. Hinata smiled again and both of them went downstairs for tea time.
--
"WWAAAAAHHH!! WWAAAAHHH!!" A cry of an irritated child ruined the afternoon's silence.
"Sasuke, one of the twins is awake. I'll go check them." Hinata worriedly said and escaped away. It was already 4 in the afternoon, and the two of them were at the garden, having tea. For three hours they sat there, until now.
Sasuke gathered the cups onto a tray and deposited them at the sink.
--
"How come those kids are still up?" Sasuke said, entering their chaotic room. Hikari was chewing a stuffed kunai toy at his crib, while Himiko was trying to grab a Hokage toy (It will go "Uzumaki Naruto is the name!" and "Never go against your ninja way!" when you press the tummy) that looks scarily like Naruto, outside their crib.
It was already midnight, and the kids had no sign of falling asleep.
The twins both had onyx eyes like their father. Deep, black eyes that shone like black crystal when they're happy or excited. Eyes that go as blunt as charcoal when they're sad and about to cry.
Their hair was taken among their parents. Hikari, much like Sasuke's, was black as night. Himiko's, like her mother's, though with a darker shade, was deep lavender. They seldom fight even if they're sharing the same crib. Of course, this crib is just when they're awake. They sleep with their parents on bed. Hinata had insisted upon it. It is just a miracle that neither of them was squashed to death.
"They slept a while longer," Hinata replied as she dropped the other toys at their box. The room was all clean now; no more toys crowding it. The only toys left were those toys at the twin's crib and the Hokage doll (It was given by, guess who, Naruto).
Hinata smoothed the bed sheet and sat. She was tired than the usual
"Sorry." Sasuke said as he sat beside her. "I fell asleep while watching a movie. I hope you woke me up so that I helped you."
"No, no… that's okay. I never went downstairs, so I didn't know you were sleeping."
"Oh. Alright. Don't hesitate to call for my help next time." Sasuke said. Hinata gave a nod as she lifted the two twins from the crib and gave one to Sasuke.
"You know, there's still a lesson you hadn't learned." Hinata said as she kissed Himiko's forehead.
She yawned.
"What's that?"
"Tucking them to bed."
"Oh. Yeah. So… how do I start?"
"Sing them a song."
"W-What?! But I… don't sing.!"
"You don't sing? Hahaha, I can hear you sing your heart out when you're at the shower!"
"Urgh…ok…alright…what do I... what do I sing…?"
Hinata gave him a song and he started to sing softly, much to Hinata's surprise. He sang a beautiful song, and Hinata didn't even know how beautiful his voice is, since he rarely uses it.
When he was halfway through the song, the twins had fallen asleep and Sasuke laid the two sleeping angels on their crib on purpose. He then took Hinata, and having a soft/romantic song, he twirled her around and danced with her.
Softly,
deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly posess
you
Open up your mind,
Let your fantasies unwind
In this
darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music
of the night
Let
your mind start a journey through a strange new world
leave all
thoughts of the world you knew before
let your soul take you where
you long to be
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating,
falling, sweet intoxication
touch me, trust me, savor each
sensation
let the dream begin, let your darkest side give in,
to
the power of the music that i write
The power of the music of the
night…
And when he had reached the last lyrics:
You
alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the
night.
He looked at Hinata lovingly, tenderly laid her down their bed, and gently kissed her lips.

Author's notes: If you're all wondering what song that is, it's David Cook's music of the night. I suggest you listen to it…: )
Give me nice reviews!! : )
