A/N: Last chapter… =T
Chapter 10 – Two
"What do you want to listen to tonight?" Neji asked.
"How about when I was young? And the cut too!" Tera asked.
"Do I have to listen to that? That story always make me feel guilty!" Nathan complained.
"Yeah, we have to listen," TenTen laughed, "It's no big deal, Nathan."

A cry suddenly broke out, which soon followed by a tantrum.
"Oh god… Neji, get up," TenTen kicked Neji as she heaved herself from the bed.
Neji grunted and turned around. TenTen sighed. She went over to the crib and carried the baby girl. She patted her child on the back gently and the baby cooed.
"There, there… Hush now. Daddy and brother are sleeping," TenTen soothed.
After feeding the child, TenTen headed over to Nathan and quietly make him go back to sleep. Neji, surprisingly, was fast asleep amid the ruckus. TenTen smiled.
It's been three years since she gave birth to Nathan and now, she and Neji have a second girl child named Tera. TenTen gave her children a kiss each and went back to sleep.

TenTen woke up to smell food frying. She shot out of bed instantly and rushed over to the kitchen.
"Good morning, love," Neji sing-song, "Take a seat. I made your favorite, egg in basket."
TenTen loved Neji more than ever. She walked over and hugged him from behind.
"Thank you. I have THE best husband in the whole world. And I'm surprised you're wearing an apron," TenTen joked.
Neji laughed, "You're the one to talk. Your hair is a mess! Better go wash up first, Ten."
TenTen giggled, "How about Tera and Nathan?"
"Don't worry. I've taken care of them."

"There was one great breakfast! Compliment to the chef!" TenTen said, putting down the cup.
"I'll take care of the dishes," TenTen stopped Neji from getting up, "You keep playing with them."
After washing the dishes, TenTen joined her husband and kids playing.
"Mama," TenTen mouthed at little Tera.
Tera just shook a rattle at TenTen.
"That, is a rattle," TenTen tried again, "Can you say it? Ra-tle"
The kid just ignored her and watched Neji explain about ninja weapons to the four-years-old Nathan.
"Okay... How about 'dad'?" TenTen wouldn't give up.
Tera tried to get up, but fell on her hip. She looked at TenTen for help. TenTen smiled. She gently lifted her child and watched her to stagger over to Neji. Nathan threw a kunai and it hit the bulls eye. TenTen and Neji watched them with pride.
Then, what the kid did next surprise everyone. Tera touched one of the kunai and tried lifting it. Nathan helped his younger sister.
"Looks like she will take after you, Ten," Neji slipped his arms around TenTen's waist.
TenTen smiled, "Looks like it! By the way, don't you have a mission?"
"Hmm?" Neji said, still not taking his eyes off his children, "Not really. I asked a day off from Tsunade-sama. I think it's time I spend time with my family. I've been away for the past few weeks."
TenTen gave a peck on Neji's cheek, "I love you."
"Not as much as I do."
"MOM! DAD!" Nathan yelled.
The parents hurried over to find a big cut on Tera's thigh.
"What happened?" Neji asked as TenTen tried to stop the bleeding.
"She fell and cut her thigh on the kunai. I'm so sorry, dad," Nathan apologized, tears welling up.
"NEJI! Are you coming or what?" TenTen asked, as she jumped out of the window.
"Let's go. We'll talk about this later," Neji said to the boy.

"TenTen, don't worry. She didn't cut any important nerves," Sakura comforted her worried friend, "I'll heal it right away."
"Okay..." TenTen said, relieved, "Thank you, Sakura."
"You should be more careful next time. You could have cut her leg off!" Neji scolded Nathan.
"Neji, let it go," TenTen kneeled down beside the crying boy, "There There... don't cry anymore. Be a man! Everyone's staring at you. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Nathan nodded and managed to choke out, "I'm so sorry, mom."
"Don't worry about it. Now go and wash your face."
TenTen waited until Nathan was in the bathroom. She sank down on the floor beside Neji's legs.
"I've never been so worried in my entire life!" TenTen whispered, leaning her head against Neji's thigh, "We're terrible parents! We shouldn't have left them alone with the sharp objects! What were we thinking? Tera's only a year old!"
"Don't blame yourself, TenTen," Neji wiped away TenTen's tears, "Kids always hurt themselves!"
Sakura came out, hold a sleeping Tera with bandage covering her right thigh.
"I've bandaged Tera and she should be fine in a day or two," Sakura told them, "TenTen, don't feel bad. I remember when Melanie fell off the stairs and broke her arms. I was dead worried, but she's as good as new now!"
"Yeah..." TenTen said, "Thank you so much."

"Mama," Tera said.
"Oh hey," TenTen replied casually.
The brunette's eye widened, "NEJI! NATHAN!"
"What? What happened?" Neji rushed over.
"Tera just say her first word!" TenTen replied, excited, "Say it again, Tera, dear. MaMa"
"Dada! Nana!" Tera said, and banged her hands on the table, delighted.
"I can't believe it!" Neji said, a big smiled on his face, "That's right, Dada's here."
"Did she just call me Nana?" Nathan asked.
TenTen laughed, "I think she did!"
"Man, it makes it seems like I'm her grandmother!" Nathan sulked.
Both Neji and TenTen laughed. Then the door bell rang.
"Oh lord, it must be the photographer," TenTen said, hurriedly opened the door.
"Hello, ma'am. We're here to take the family photograph?" the man said.
"Oh yes yes. Please come in. We're ready," TenTen opened the door wider.
"Okay. One... Two... Three..." the photographer counted as the flash went off.

"A little to the right. Nope, a little back to the left. Leave it at that!" TenTen clapped her hands.
Neji walked backward and said, "It's perfect! Our family photo!"
"It sure is!" TenTen agreed and kissed her husband.
Life couldn't be better for the Hyuuga Neji and TenTen family.
The End. =)

A/N: Well, there you go. The final chapter... I wanted to add the part where Nathan gets the cursed seal, but I don't know how old they have to be to get that seal. Or if they're born with it. I don't think they are born with it because Neji didn't have it when he was a child. Please review and tell me about your opnion!
