Thank you all for the reviews and the favorites and follows; you're all so cute.

SO, here's an update.

Gah you guys I reach 100 reviews. .w. You don't even know how happy that makes me feel.

So I just recently went to the beach. I got loads of inspiration there. I swam in the ocean and let the waves knock me around a bit, I built a sandcastle, and slept in the sand. It was all very lovely, but I got sunburned, but thanks to my brown skin it wasn't that bad.

And now the moment, we've been waiting for.

Pairings: Sasuke/Hinata and onesided Hinata/Neji

"I won't betray Kohona." Sakura said firmly. Sasuke scoffed at her.

"I'm not asking that." There was a slight sneer to his tone. "I need your help." Sasuke looked out her window. "Tonight, meet me six hundred yards away from the Kohona entrance. Bring Hyuuga Neji also." Before the pinkette could further question him; he disappeared.

When dusk settled across Kohona, Sakura had a small backpack on her shoulders and Hyuuga Neji was tracking her a bit of a distant away. The plan to detain Sasuke was simple. Sakura would try to coerce information from him, she would then rejected his offer, and if battle came to it, Neji was there as back up along with a hidden Naruto.

"You came." Sasuke said knowingly.

"Why," Sakura licked her dry lips. "Why do you need my help?" Sasuke regarded her with cold eyes. His hand slithered into his pocket to fetch a small, square paper medicine packet. "For the Hyuuga." Sasuke tossed it up into the trees and Neji caught it and leaped to the ground.

"Seems like you knew all along." Neji mused as he eyed the square packet critically. He opened the small opening to reveal a small bunch of herbs. His moon orbs narrowed before he sniffed it cautiously. Neji froze when the smell assaulted him.

Orange peel, jasmine, and black tea leaves

"Where did you get this?" Neji demanded harshly. It was the tea. The tea Hinata would brew him on his bad days. The tea that warmed his chest when she handed him the cup with a soft smile on her lips. The words 'It'll be okay, Neji-nii' just lingering at the tip of her tongue. His bloodline limit activated as veins spiderwebbed across the corners of his eyes.

"It's why we need her help." Sasuke tilted his head to the medic. Neji clutched the small tea packet tightly.

"Is she," Neji paused, his throat tight. "is she okay?"

"She won't be if she doesn't come."

"What are you guys talking about?" Sakura demanded, green eyes flashing back and forth to the two geniuses.

"Sakura," Neji pocketed the tea packet. "We will be going with Uchiha-san. It seems Hinata needs our help." Sakura gaped at him.

"H-Hinata?!" She stammered.

"Teme!" Naruto shouted obnoxiously somewhere in the woods. "What did you do to Hinata-chan." A fist came flying out and Sasuke casually stepped aside. He scowled at Neji and Sakura.

"You brought this idiot?"

Hinata groaned softly when she felt her baby kick at her bladder.

"Please stop," She huffed, placing a delicate hand on her belly. As if the baby knew the pain it was putting it's mother in; it's little kicks ceased. Hinata wobbled into her bed and tucked the blanket around her. Sasuke was gone for three days now and she was becoming increasingly worried. Their baby was becoming more and more restless. She's been having contractions, but she thought that they be Braxton Hicks, but she was becoming suspicious that they might not be after all. Hinata looked at the night sky when another contraction hit her, pain shooting in her lower back.

"Ah!" She doubled over. "Please, Sasuke." She pleaded to the Gods for him to hurry. The night went by with her belly tightening and pain becoming more frequent. If Sasuke didn't come soon she feared she would give birth to this baby alone.

Hinata couldn't sleep that night and morning came and afternoon began to creep in when she felt like she had to pee. She wobbled out of bed, leaning most of her weight against the wall. Her feet and legs felt swollen and every step was a pinprick of needles in her limbs. She was half way to the bathroom when she felt a gush of water spill from between her legs. At first she thought she wet herself, but there was so much water that she knew the it was her water that broke.

"No," Hinata whispered horrified. "No, not yet!" Hinata sank to the ground and panted. Her heart was fluttering anxiously in her chest. A contraction hit her again, this time the pain just a bit more intense. "Ahhh!" She wailed. She tried to calm her breathing, tried to ease her heart. She didn't know how long she sat there, but the baby was coming soon, the contractions closer and closer. When another hit, Hinata didn't bother to muffle her cry of pain.

"Hinata," Sasuke slammed their little door open. Hinata felt relief flood her body.

"Sasuke," She whimpered with her hand out stretched. Sasuke knelt down and took her hand, his normally cool visage broken with worry. "It's coming." She whimpered.

"Hinata-sama," Neji quickly knelt next to her other side.

"Neji-nii," She smiled through her pain. "You came."

"Of course." Neji said and he bent over and lifted her up off the ground.

"Put her in bed," Sakura ordered when she assessed the situation. "Her water broke so that means the baby will be coming soon." Sasuke quickly showed them the door to their room and Neji settled Hinata gently in bed. Sakura hovered over with a glowing green hand over Hinata's heart.

"She won't be able to handle a vaginal birth." Sakura said with a frown. "I'll have to perform a Caesarian."

"Hinata-chan," Naruto whispered in awe. "You're huge." Sasuke and Neji glowered at the blond idiot that decided to follow them.

"Idiot!" Sakura plowed her fist into his head. "Make yourself useful and get me warm water, towels, and a bowl of water." Naruto grumbled, rubbing the bump on his head before obliging.

"My baby," Hinata groaned.

"Hinata," Sakura turned to her. "I'll have to put you under. You can't be awake for this. If you panic then it can send you into cardiac arrest." Sakura said to the former heiress as she lifted Hinata's lavender shirt off of her body.

"No," Hinata shook her head fervently. "I want to be awake. If something happens to the baby!" Hinata could feel the edge of hysteria ebb at her.

"Sasuke," Sakura warned him and Sasuke pet back Hinata's indigo locks.

"I'll make sure everything goes smoothly." Sasuke's eyes spun and spun and Hinata slept and slept.

Hinata felt groggily when she awoke. There was a pain in her stomach and she could hear incoherent voices speaking. Her mind felt fuzzy and twirling and she felt as if something was missing, but what was it? Hinata felt her eyes widen and her hand flew to her belly and an anguished cry tore from her lips.

Her baby?! Where was her baby?

"Calm down, you'll make yourself sick." Hinata whirled around to see Sasuke smirking at her from his seat near the window. In his arms was a bundle of the gray blanket that she knitted all those months ago.

"Is..is that-?" Hinata breathed out.

"Tamaki," Sasuke moved over to her and sat on the edge of the bed next to her. "here." Sasuke gingerly maneuvered his son into Hinata's arms. Hinata held the small infant in her arms and could feel tears prick at her eyes.

"He's beautiful," She cried. Tamaki was so small in her arms, with a chubby round face and rosy cheeks. His hair was black like Sasukes, his cheekbones were also Sasuke's along with his jawline and eyebrows, but he had Hinata's chin, lips, and when Tamaki opened his little eyes to reveal pale orbs. Tamaki gave a pitiful cry and Hinata pulled the baby closer to her and smelling his mother Tamaki eased himself near her breasts. Hinata knew she was crying, she couldn't help herself. She loved this little boy with all her heart and logically she knew it was because he was her son, but still. It was a wordless feeling, an expressionless moment, so intangible that she couldn't explain just how she felt when her son took her finger in his soft palm.

"Don't be a crybaby," Sasuke said and he turned her face to him, but Hinata could see just how emotional he was. His dark eyes blooming with feelings that Sasuke never thought he would be worthy of. "You did good." Sasuke said and Hinata gave a breathless laugh when he pulled her in for a kiss.
