Fatherhood
Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. Sorry this one took awhile. I got carried away with some other stories and wrapping up The Mission.
My Angel: New Sasuke x Hinata story up. Sasuke loses his memories and gets taken in by the Hyuga Clan. Check it out if you are interested.
Chapter 11
Honeymoons were fun, Sasuke decided. The next two weeks passed by a in a blur of pleasure, tangled limbs, and heated moans. He found himself rather pleased with his thoroughness.
The Uchiha Patriarch was almost positive that there wasn't a single hard surface in the room that he hadn't made love to his new wife and that even included the carpet. In his defense though, Hinata had been walking back from the kitchen in a nightgown that was CLEARLY designed to taunt him and the bed had been too far away for his liking.
"Really, on the carpet?" Hinata asks with a giggle and snuggles into her husband's naked chest.
"Bed was too far away." He murmurs and wraps his arms around her in a loving embrace.
"It's only like a hundred feet away." The bluenette says.
"That's about 99 feet too far." Sasuke says with a smirk and kisses her forehead.
Hinata laughs and enjoys being held. Her husband was a nympho it seemed. She supposed if she wasn't already pregnant, that Honeymoon would have led to have resulted in conception easily. She really enjoyed her husband's attentiveness though!.
Most of her life, she had been in the background. Her shy and quiet demeanor meant that it was easy for people to not notice her, despite being the Hyuga Heiress. Sasuke though, well he DEFINITELY noticed her. And most of the time when he did, he pounced.
"I hope they have a really thorough maid." She mumbles with a blush.
"It's a Honeymoon suite, I'm sure they do." Sasuke assures her.
"We should probably head back soon. They'll worry about us, if we don't." She says.
Sasuke knew that was true. They had said they'd be back in a little over two weeks. Still it was NICE to have some actual privacy. You didn't get much of that in a household that had hundreds of members. Most of whom were fully capable of seeing through walls. Exhibition was not really one of his kinks.
"Alright. I guess we should start packing. Though I'm sure the twins will agree with me that the privacy was nice while it lasted." He says with a sigh and helps her up.
"You don't really think that they would spy on us in the bedroom, do you?" Hinata asks.
"The Byakugan can see through walls. I don't THINK they would spy on us, I KNOW. Although, I'm certain we would give them a damn good show." He says smugly.
Hinata blushes scarlet. She honestly didn't think her family would spy on them while they were in their room. But it was how he said it that caused her cheeks to turn red.
"They wouldn't spy on us." She protests and Sasuke raises an eyebrow at her like, "Really? You actually believe that?"
"Whatever you say kitten." Sasuke states as he begins getting dressed and getting their things around.
"Do you think it will be the same driver?" She asks.
"Probably not. I mean the odds are fairly low. They likely have dozens, maybe even hundreds of drivers working for them." He answers her and watches as she scrambles to make sure she got everything.
"Kitten, you forgot something." Sasuke says and glances at the lamp, which had a purple lacy bra on it.
What could he say? When he got carried away, he didn't particularly care where their clothes landed. It'd be a shame to leave it behind though. Sasuke liked that one.
"Oh!" Hinata says and grabs it blushing.
"You are still blushing after everything we did?" Sasuke says and pushes her against the wall, capturing her lips in a heated kiss.
It wasn't his fault. She really was too adorable sometimes. How was he supposed to resist that blush? Damn he never knew that whole blushing bride thing was so literal and so sexy.
Hinata kisses back and wraps her arms around his neck. The bluenette moans into the kiss. Sasuke really did have a hair trigger for when he'd pounce. It didn't take much to get him ready to go again. She was happy about this because she wasn't really sure how to initiate things. Luckily, Sasuke didn't seem to have any issue with this.
"I guess we should get going. It would be annoying to have to explain why we missed our ride to the traveling company." He muses.
"Mhm." Hinata says.
"We'll finish this later." He tells her and they head off to meet their driver.
"Ah good to see you again." The driver greets them and Hinata gives Sasuke a look like, "I told you so! It's the same driver."
"You to." Sasuke says, shakes his head in amusement, and helps Hinata into the carriage.
She smiles and settles in. Hinata had always liked carriages, but she had grown a lot more fond of them very recently. Sasuke sits down next to her.
Hinata and Sasuke were unaware that they were being watched by Obito and Itachi nearby. Obito frowns, he was with his wife. That was to be expected. He had to wait to get them alone and Itachi was also nearby.
While he was certain that he could dispatch the other Uchiha with ease, he was loathed to do it. There were only three, well four Uchihas left in the entire world. It'd be such a waste. (Obito wasn't aware that Hinata was carrying twins. )
"You should get some sleep, on the ride home." Sasuke murmurs and caresses her cheek.
"Alright." She says and closes her eyes, only to be startled awake.
Their parents might not have known they were being watched. But the twins had a bad feeling about this. They decided to alert their mother to the bad feeling in he only way they knew how. They KICKED.
"Hinata, what's wrong?" Sasuke asks.
"They k-icked." She says in disbelief.
"I told you so. They are Uchihas. We do everything early." Sasuke says smugly.
"What if something is wrong. This is really early for them to be doing that." Hinata frets.
Sasuke frowns. Maybe she had a point. He peeks his head out and informs the driver to get them home as soon as possible. They should stop by the hospital and have Tsunade check her out. Maybe something was wrong.
Soon enough they arrive in the Leaf. Sasuke takes Hinata to the hospital and demands to see Tsunade. Appointments pft, he wasn't going to wait around for an appointment.
"Sasuke, Hinata. Is something wrong?" The medic asks.
"Maybe. We aren't sure. The babies kicked." Hinata explains.
"Hmm well that is a little early. I'll have a look." Tsunade states and she starts off by doing an ultrasound.
She looks. Hmm they looked exactly as you should expect at 14 weeks. They were definitely early bloomers, but nothing looked out of place.
"Well usually kicking doesn't start until at least week 15. But they are 14 weeks along, so it's not that much earlier. They seem to be developing normally. Maybe this is just a sign you'll have them before your due date. That is very common for twins. They tend to just run out of space and want to get out of there." Tsunade explains.
"So their okay?" Sasuke asks worriedly.
"Yes, they seem to be fine to me. Though I'll mark her down as having a high potential for an early delivery." She muses.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade." Hinata says and they return to the Hyuga Estate.
The newlyweds are barraged by a flock of Hyugas. The Hyuga Clan didn't do anything halfway. This apparently included Welcome Home Committees. Sasuke rubs the back of his head sheepishly when he saw the huge Welcome Home Banner and well…a lot of confetti and glitter.
"I guess they missed us." Hinata says with a smile.
"Where the fuck did they get all that glitter?" Sasuke wonders in amusement.
"I wondered the same thing myself." Hiashi says as he approaches his daughter and Son-In-Law.
Hinata smiles. She walks over and embraces Hiashi. Sasuke nods in agreement about the glitter.
"You look beautiful, Hinata. You are glowing. Has the Morning Sickness stopped?" He inquires.
"Thank you, father. Yes, that stopped awhile ago." She says.
"It would have made for an awkward Honeymoon, if it hadn't." Sasuke muses and Hinata blushes.
"Well I hope you two had fun. It will be more difficult to find time to be with each other in such a fashion once the twins arrive." He warns them.
"We'll find the time." Saskue assures him and walks over to stand by his wife.
Meanwhile back in the Sound Village, Orochimaru cries out in pain. Kabuto winces. It was getting worse. Even heavily medicated, the legendary Sannin was still in agony. He had to try to convince him to use another vessel.
"Lord Orochimaru, I am sorry but we will have to do the procedure with someone else. You are fading too quickly." The silver haired medic informs him.
"We will get him back in time. I will have only the best vessel." The dark haired ninja snaps at him.
"How do you propose we do that? We'd have to attack the Leaf directly and even then, Sasuke has become enormously powerful. I'd say we could dart him and drag him here. But he's developed an immunity to anything I could dart him with. That was your request to build up his immunities to poisons and other chemicals that could negatively impact him." Kabuto reminds him.
"We will find a way! Kidnap Hinata. That would get him here and quickly. She is carrying the next generation of his Clan." He hisses.
"It'd be difficult to grab her. Sasuke is always with her and if he isn't, she's normally with her Clan members. I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru. I know how much you wanted him to be your vessel but time is of the essence. We must work quickly." His most loyal follower states.
"Very well. Get on with it." He hisses.
Kabuto sighs in relief. Thankfully, he had seen reason. He wasn't going to sit around and watch his Lord die.
This did raise an interesting question. Who to choose though? There really wasn't a back up vessel in place. Kabuto grabs the first ninja that happened to be walking by. After all, everyone in the Sound was powerful in one way or another. Did it really matter?
"You must work quickly, Kabuto." Orochimaru hisses.
Kabuto nods. He quickly sets about performing the transfer. It was a long, grueling process at the best of times. But Orochimaru had delayed the transfer far longer than he should have. So it was incredibly difficult.
A little over two months later, Rio slithers into the Hyuga Estate! He had important news to tell Master Sasuke and Lady Hinata. They were going to be so happy! They had done it! They had repaired the District.
The Sun was barely rising when Rio made his way into their bedroom. Perhaps for that reason, it wasn't surprising that the newlyweds were still sleeping in bed. Oh well, he'd wake them up.
"Master Sasuke? Lady Hinata?" He says, slithering over them.
"Mmm Sasuke. Isn't it a little early for that?" Hinata says with a giggle, feeling something brush against her leg.
"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asks, yawning, and opening his eyes.
"Your snake is saying hello." She replies.
"Hinata, I'm not doing anything." Her husband says in confusion and the bluenette's eyes fly open.
"Ohhh…it wasn't your snake, it was an actual snake." She mumbles embarrassed.
"Good morning, Master Sasuke and Lady Hinata!" Rio says cheerfully and doesn't notice her mortification.
Sasuke shakes his head in amusement. He looks at Rio as if to say "Go on." Clearly the little snake thought he had something important to tell them.
"We finished fixing up the District!" He says happily, rather pleased with himself.
"Already?" Hinata asks in surprise and the playful snake nods his head vigorously.
"That's wonderful news. Give us a few minutes to get dressed and we'll go see what you've done." Sasuke says and Rio slithers out to give them some privacy.
The Uchiha couple quickly grab the nearest clothes they could find. They were both used to Rio at this point. Both of them were aware that he was well not the most patient snake on the planet. He meant well, he was just a bit hyper.
"Let's go see it." Sasuke says and leads his wife out of the room, following Rio back to the Uchiha District.
Hinata blinks when it came into view. Unlike the Hyuga Estate, which was essentially one very large building, the Uchiha District was more like a mini village. She had no idea how the snakes cleared the streets, tended to the yards, and restored all the buildings but everything looked brand new. If she wasn't aware of what had happened here all those years ago, she never would have suspected that tragedy had befallen this place.
"How did you do all this without hands?" She asks curiously.
"Oh we have our ways." Rio says smugly.
Sasuke chuckles. It looked like Rio had been sent as the messenger of sorts. Hundreds of snakes were scattered around the village. They all seemed to be waiting for something. Well more like someone.
"Master Sasuke! It is good to see you." Aoda greets him cheerfully.
"You as well, Aoda. You all did an incredible job. Feel free to dig into the purple bags and the wine cellars. You all deserve it after all this." Sasuke says with a smile.
"Purple bags?" Hinata asks.
"Those are the bags I keep the snake treats in." He answers his wife's question.
Hinata ohhs. Well that makes sense. Still wine cellars? Did snakes drink alcohol?
"And yes, they do drink. I try not to let them have too much though. They tend to get rather…comical if they have too much." He states.
"Oh alright. Sasuke, we should probably get going. We are supposed to see Tsunade for an appointment today." She says with a smile.
Sasuke nods. He waves to the snakes as they head off. Today was the big day. They would find out the gender or genders of their twins. He was very excited about this. Sasuke could tell that Hinata was as well.
"Alright, Hinata. As you know this is cold." She warns her once again and Hinata nods.
She thought she was prepared for it. But she never was. She eeps and Sasuke snickers. His wife sends him a rather impressive glower. Sasuke noted that he must be rubbing off on her. Because that was a damn good glower.
"Ah there we go. Let's see what we have here." Tsunade muses.
Sasuke watches. He could clearly see two outlines on the screen. They were moving around a lot though. It was almost as if they knew they were being watched.
"I guess they are a little shy. Ah ha! Well there's the first one. The one on the left is a boy." She states.
"We have a son." Sasuke says to Hinata proudly, who nods, and laces her hand with his.
"Now for the other one. There we go. Correction, you have two sons." Tsunade says several minutes later, shaking her head at how difficult to identify the two of them had been.
"I hope they aren't identical." Sasuke states.
That could definitely cause issues. He could just imagine the havoc that identical twins would cause for the village. Hinata giggles.
"Their perfect whether they are identical or not. Though it would be hard to tell them apart if they were identical and I could see them causing all sorts of trouble, if that were the case." She admits.
Sasuke nods and kisses Hinata affectionately, though in a chaste fashion. Tsunade was standing right there after all. He couldn't believe it. They were going to have two boys.
"Guess we should go tell the rest of your clan the good news." Sasuke says and helps Hinata up, with a smile.
"Yes." She replies with a nod and eeps when Sasuke scoops her up Bridal Style.
"Sasuke, I'm pregnant. I'm not crippled. My legs work just fine." She teases him.
He shakes his had. Hinata decides it was pointless to protest the pampering. Besides, she liked being carried by him anyway. She might grow a little spoiled by the end of this pregnancy though.
Meanwhile back at the Hyuga Estate, Hanabi frowns. She couldn't find her sister or brother-in-law anywhere. She decides to take her concerns to her father. The young Hyuga woman was growing worried. Hiashi would know what to do.
"It's alright, Hanabi. They have a doctor's appointment today. I believe they will find out the gender or genders of the twins this time." He says.
"Oh! That's great! I can't wait to find out if I'm having a nieces, nephews, or both! I'm going to be the best aunt ever." She says, positively beaming at the news.
"I'm sure you will." Hiashi replies with open amusement at his daughter's antics.
Sasuke carries Hinata inside the Hyuga Estate. He heard lots of giggling as he did so. He shrugs. The Uchiha was aware that the Hyuga Clan tended to be rather reserved. He found it unlikely that they were used to such gestures. He didn't care though. Maybe it would be a good influence on them to actually see people openly expressing affection.
"Sasuke, Hinata, you are back." Hiashi says with a smile.
"Yes, father. We went to the District. The snakes have finished the repairs. I don't know how they did it, without arms." She muses.
Hiashi had to admit that his daughter had a point there. He hadn't the faintest idea how snakes could manage construction. The Hyuga Patriarch decides sometimes it was best to just go along with it. Did it really matter how they did it, so long as they had?
"That is wonderful news. I know that it can be difficult for newlyweds to find privacy in a household this large." He muses.
"Extremely. We also went to see Tsunade. Hinata, do you want to tell him or should I?" Sasuke asks.
"You can tell them." Hinata says with a smile.
"Alright. We having two boys." Sasuke says smugly.
"That is wonderful news indeed. Is everything going well with the pregnancy? I must admit that I do have concerns as you are carrying twins." He says.
"Tsunade says everything is normal. Though she thinks Hinata might go into labor early. But that's fairly common when you are expecting twins." Sasuke explains.
"Ah good news then. Well tonight we'll make the announcement at dinner. I assume that the two of you will be moving out soon?" He asks.
"Yes, father. I love our family but…it's a bit crowded here. I think the babies would be overwhelmed by so many people." Hinata mumbles quickly.
"It is fine, Hinata. While I would love for you to stay, I understand. It is only natural that a newly married couple would greatly value their privacy." He says.
"I'm going to have two nephews!" Hanabi says excitedly.
"Yes, you are." Sasuke says with amusement as he watches the younger Hyuga woman jump up and down excitedly.
"I'm sure you will be a wonderful aunt." Hinata says, smiling at her little sister.
"The BEST aunt!" She protests.
"Of course, the best aunt. Sasuke, we should probably start packing." Hinata says.
Sasuke nods and leads his wife off. He decided to set her down. Hinata was getting a little restless and embarrassed about being carried around like that.
"How long do you think it will take for us to pack?" Sasuke asks her.
"Well maybe we could get it done by tomorrow. Besides, we still have to make the announcement at dinner." She reminds him and Sasuke nods.
The two spent most of the day packing. Later that night at dinner, Hiashi clinks his glass. That was the signal that the head of the Clan had a special announcement.
"Everyone! We have most fortune news today. Hinata, Sasuke?" He says, allowing them to share their news instead of making the announcement before them.
"We went to see Tsunade today. We are having two boys." Sasuke says proudly and kisses Hinata's cheek.
The Hyuga Clan applauds and offers their well wishes. It got surprisingly noisy. Sasuke blinks, he was used to them being far more reserved than this. Oh well, it was big news. Their Heiress was expecting twins.
"Have you told your teams yet?" One asks.
"No, I haven't. that is a good point. I haven't seen Kurenai, Shino, and Kiba much lately. I should probably go and see them tomorrow." Hinata muses.
"I haven't. Damn it. I'm going to need some earplugs to deal with the loser." Sasuke says with a sigh and Hiashi hands him a pair of earplugs.
Sasuke nods his head at the Hyuga Patriarch gratefully. Sometimes there were benefits to being part of a large family. One of those being, someone always had a pair of earplugs ready for emergency situations. And telling Naruto that he was going to have two sons, qualified as an emergency situation.
He didn't want the idiot to make him go deaf from all his shouting. Then he would never be able to hear Hinata's lovely moans or his sons' voices. That would certainly be a tragedy. So yes, earplugs were going to be necessary to deliver the news to Team Seven.
