(Kakashi Ending)

Hinatas POV:

"You're going to have to start pushing soon" Tsunade informed me and put the sheet back over my legs.

I nodded my head and just looked at Kakashi. Everyone was forced to go sit in the living room, Tsunade didn't want a room full of people. Except when the first baby came out, my father was aloud to come in.

"Have you guys decided on names yet?" Shizune asked as she walked over to the bed. She was my favorite person in the room at the moment, she was keeping my pain to a minimum from the contractions and I was never more grateful. Her hands lit up and placed them on my stomach.

"I have one name in mind for the boy" I said lightly glancing at Kakashi and he gave me a small smile.

I had been thinking about happier things ever since I came back from wherever I went and saw everyone one last time.

I was trying to contain my emotions for the birthing process. But I knew as soon as I would see one of those babies faces, the flood gates would open.

"Ow" I whispered out loud and put my hands on my pelvic area. I felt a great pressure and I made eye contact with Tsunade.

The time was closing in and she moved the sheets again.

"You're crowning" she said and my eyes grew wide. Kakashi moved and came to hold my hand.

"It's time" Tsunade spoke and reached onto the floor for her gloves and protective lab coat. Which, I might add, she put on incredibly fast. The pressure was becoming increasingly worse and Shizunes hands kept still on my pelvic area, increasing her chakra flow.

"When I tell you to push, you need to" Tsunade said, moving my legs into the correct position.

It felt like a lifetime, waiting to hear those words. Everything was burning and I'm sure it was about to get worse.

"Push" she said and I did as told, breathing deeply in the process. This was more difficult than I imagined.

"Push again, harder" she spoke and I did was I was told again. I could feel shifting from the lower half of me and it hurts. I squeezed Kakashi's hand as hard as I could.

"One more push" she said and I took a deep breath complying. The worst of the pain was now but then it disappeared instantly, leaving a small stinging.

Then I heard the sounds of a baby crying and I smiled slightly.

"Baby number one is here" Tsunade said with a small smile.

"Probably have two minutes of rest before baby number two comes" she said and I laid my head back on the pillow. I felt overly hot and Kakashi let my hand go.

I watched Kakashi run to the bathroom and come back quickly with some damp towels. He gave one to Tsunade to wash the baby off a little bit and then placed the baby gently on my chest. The baby nearly stopped crying.

"Is that our son or daughter?" Kakashi asked light and I looked at him, I could see small tears in his eyes.

I moved the baby a little bit to peek, I was holding our daughter.

"Baby girl" I said and he gave me a kiss on the forehead and then dabbed my face down a bit with the cool cloth and it felt great.

"I'm going to get your father" he said and nearly vanished. I looked down at my daughter once more and then back towards Tsunade.

"Do you feel anything yet? I don't see his head" she asked me.

"Give him a few more minutes, hell come when he's ready," I said, lightly stroking the top of my daughters head.

"Leave it to Kakashis son to be late," Tsunade said and we all laughed a bit.

My laughter did however come to an abrupt end when an intense stabbing pain hit my stomach, causing me to jump.

The door to the bedroom opened again, Kakashi and my father came in and Kakashi stood by my place again.

"Hold your daughter while your son comes out" Tsunade said, shifting my legs once more.

I watched him move carefully and slowly. He picked her up and I saw nothing but pure love in his eyes. He held her as close as possible and him and my father were in a trance.

"You're crowning again, get ready" Tsunade said, and I focused my energy back onto her.

The pain came back and it hurt more this time. I thought it would be easier, obviously I was wrong.

"Push" she said and I complied, taking a deep breath when I was done.

"Push again" she spoke and the pain was instantly gone.

I leaned my head back on the pillows and the sound of my son crying brought a smile to my face.

"Shizune, take everyone into the bathroom and clean the babies. Were not done yet, Hinata" Tsunade said and I looked at her.

Everyone moved out of my view leaving just her and I but I was confused.

"I just need you to push the extra stuff out" she said and I nodded my head. I forgot about this part.

I did what I was told and we were finally done. Tsunade held her hands on my feminine parts for a few to heal me up a little.

"I can't believe they're here" Tsunade said, moving my legs down and placing the blanket over me. I was finally able to lay as comfortably as I could.

"You and me both" I said looking at the bathroom door. I just wanted to be alone with Kakashi and the babies.

"Before they're done. Just a few things" Tsunade said, moving around to clean things up.

"No sex for about three weeks. You have no injuries. You're going to be sore though and if you need anything, don't hesitate to have Kakashi come get me. Even if you need five minutes alone when he's working" she finished talking and gave me a smile. I nodded my head and was happy to hear what she said.

The bathroom door opened before I could finish speaking. Both of the babies were held by family and wrapped tight in little outfits and blankets.

"They're both perfectly healthy Hinata, they both weigh seven pounds" Shizune said, walking back over to the bed to help Tsunade finish her cleaning.

Two hours had passed and Kakashi and I were finally alone with our children. Whom were both sleeping after their first meal, sharing a large bassinet near our bed.

I couldn't help but to keep looking at them, they were perfect to me. Our daughter had silver hair like her father and our son had dark hair like me, not to much thought but enough for us to tell what color they had.

As I sat there looking at them, I realized they still weren't named and I couldn't wait any longer. I had been thinking about naming our son after his grandfather and I hoped Kakashi would agree on the name.

"I have a name planned out for our son" I whispered looking at Kakashi, he also looked tired but I think it was because his emotions were running wild.

"Okay and I have one planned for our daughter" he lightly spoke back while he grabbed my hand.

"Do you want to go first?" I asked him, I was curious as to what he picked and he shook his head. I guess that meant I was first.

"I would like to name our son after his last grandfather, Sakumo" I said gently, hoping it would be a good reaction. He looked surprised to say the least and then he finally gave me a warm smile.

"I love it" he whispered and sniffled a bit. I had a feeling naming him after Kakashi's father was a good idea.

"Your turn" I said, poking him lightly so he would finally say the name, my anxiety was through the roof about it for some reason.

"I would like to name her Karasu" he said and my eyes instantly welled up. I wasn't expecting that, not at all. I didn't realize that the proper name for the word crow was going to set me off.

I couldn't even speak before I was pulled into a hug and every single emotion for the past twenty-four hours started flooding out. I could feel my shirt becoming a little damp as well, he wasn't holding back either.

He finally let me go and held my face, I could still feel the tears coming out but I knew everything was going to be okay.

"I figured if she was named after a piece of someone who helped protect you, he didn't go in vain" he whispered and wiped some of the tears away with his thumbs.

"Both of these babies are named after things that are wonderful" I said, reminding him that our son was named after the white fang himself and he nodded his head.

I pulled him in and gave him a soft kiss and rested my head against his.

"I love you" I whispered to him and he replied with the same words. I pulled us down to get comfortable on the bed, we needed to rest too even if we didn't sleep.

"I didn't think you were going to make it earlier," he told me and I frowned a bit.

"I went somewhere earlier. It was strange" I told him, I needed to tell someone and he remained quiet.

"I saw my Mom, Kisame and Itachi. I got to talk to them briefly before I came back here" I mumbled, I must have sounded crazy and he still didn't reply. I moved my head slightly and he was sound asleep.

I guess this conversation could be for another day.

The sound of an infant crying made me jump from my sleep and before I could move, Kakashi had already picked up Sakumo.

I smiled and looked around for the clock, we slept for five hours? I didn't realize you could sleep that long with newborns around. Kakashi put him back in the bassinet with his sister and made his way back to the bed.

"Would you mind helping me up?" I asked quietly and he nodded his head. I felt refreshed after a five hour nap and now I wanted to shower and have some tea. I knew from this moment on I wouldn't have a normal schedule so I was going to make the best of it when I could.

He offered his hand to me and I pulled myself up slowly. I felt dizzy and I held onto him for a second before the earth stopped spinning and I could move.

"I want to shower before they need to eat" I whispered and tiptoed toward the bathroom, taking my shirt off as I walked.

"May I join you?" he whispered from behind me as I entered the bathroom, I didn't even hear him move. He turned me around with a little force and gave me a deep kiss. My hormones were threw the roof and I knew I couldn't do anything about it so I had to control myself.But how could I? His hands were moving in the right places, he smelled good and I wanted more.

"Mmm" I said, not pushing him away at all. He pinned me against the bathroom wall and my hands were automatically moving on their own too.

"I can't.." I finally managed to mumble out as he started biting my neck.

"I need to shower" I said or lack of and I rolled my head back more.

"And I need to feel you" he said, his hand slipping into my bra. He rubbed his thumb over my nipple as he squeezed my breast.

"I really need to shower and we can't do anything for at least three weeks anyways. I need to heal" I finally said, removing his hand from my chest.

"Now, if you'll excuse me," I said, pushing him back with kisses so I wasn't pinned against the wall. I moved myself away from him and turned the water on to the shower.

"This is going to be a long three weeks" Kakashi complained and I giggled at him while he left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Time for a long hot shower.

I knew I was in the bathroom for a long time, I just wasn't sure how long. My body felt more relaxed now, which I was grateful for.

I wrapped the towel around myself and left the bathroom silently, I couldn't even hear myself.

The room was still dark but the babies were moved to the other side of the bed. Two extra small used baby bottles were on Kakashi's nightstand from what I could see. Everyone was fast asleep again too, I smirked a bit before I went to my dresser and took out the biggest shirt I could find. It was the only piece of clothing I wanted for my body.

I felt bad that he had to feed and burp them both alone but I knew there would be plenty of times that would be me so I shook the feeling off. He was doing a great job so far even though they haven't been here for an entire day yet.

I went back to the bed and decided tea could wait, I had a different plan.

I went under the blankets and carefully sat myself on top of him.

I leaned into him and started giving him soft kisses, waiting until he was slightly awake enough to respond back.

It took nearly seconds before he started responding and I grabbed his face in my hands to deepen the kiss.

Our tongues started dancing and I could hear a low moan come from his throat and his hands started moving around my body. The feeling of being touched but can't get what you want was incredibly frustrating.

We landed back up in the same position we were in inside the bathroom.

"I thought we couldn't do anything?" he whispered to me as his hands slowly crept up my thighs and hips. I grabbed his face once more to ignore him and continued kissing him deeply. His hands had finally made it to my chest, his original target and we stayed like that for a few minutes.

I started to break off my lips to his, trailing down him.

Three days had passed since the twins were born and everyone was becoming incredibly impatient to meet them. Only Tsunade, Shizune and my Father had seen them. Today and tomorrow were going to be emotional days.

Today everyone got to meet the babies.

Tomorrow we buried Itachi.

Kakashi and I had finally left our bedroom and decided that being in the living room when people came over was a better idea. It was a lot more space.

"Hanabi is going to be so excited to meet them," I said as I continued rocking Karasu gently in my arms. She was fast asleep but I wanted to hold her longer before everyone passed her around.

"Can I meet my niece and nephew before everyone else gets here?" Sasuke yelled from the kitchen and I smirked. I truly loved the fact he declared himself their uncle, it meant that he loved them and that was a huge step for him.

"Of course" I replied before Kakashi could even speak and I could hear shuffling before the noise came close and soon he stood in the doorway.

He moved towards us and just kept flicking his eyes between both babies.

"This is Sakumo" Kakashi said softly as he placed his index finger on the edge of the bassinet, rocking it softly.

"Baby white fang" Sasuke said, trying to make a joke. He did get a small chuckle out of the both of us.

"Exactly, he'll be the best" Kakashi said with so much pride in his voice.

"Okay, so my nephew has a cool name, what about my niece?" he questioned, looking at me for the answer.

"This is.. Karasu" I said gently, not knowing how any small mention of Itachi would go.

He kept his eyes locked with mine and I could see the sadness in them. Him and I needed to talk because I felt remorse from him ever since they got back with his body. He knew what the name meant.

I got off the couch and put Karasu next to her brother and put a blanket over them.

I gave Kakashi a glance and he knew what I wanted to do and before any words were spoken, I grabbed Sasuke's hand and pulled him behind me.

"Where are we going?" he asked me as I continued pulling him toward the back door to our home. I continued ignoring him until we were outside and I took a seat on the steps.

"Sit" I said and he complied and I turned toward him.

"I saw the look in your eyes when I said my daughters name" I said softly, continuing to search his eyes for answers before they were spoken.

"I.." he started to say and stopped talking, he was at a loss for words.

"Say whatever you feel" I told him, assuring him. I wasn't going to take anything personally because I knew grieving had many stages and people said things they didn't mean when they were upset. He lost his only family and I couldn't imagine.

"When we found him.. I screamed at Kakashi that it was your fault he was gone.." he started speaking and I knew they were only words but it hurt to hear still.

"I still feel that way, I feel like if you didn't break his heart.. He wouldn't of left" he continued but I heard the slight crack in his voice.

"Which is selfish of me in a way because I know you can't control who you love.." he whispered again and looked up at the sky. I knew he was holding back his tears but I knew this was something he needed too.

"I haven't even read the letter he wrote to me, I can't.. It's going to confirm something I don't want to believe" his voice cracked again and he closed his eyes and an idea popped into my head.

"When I was in labor, I nearly died" I spat out and he opened his eyes looking at me weird and I put my finger up to indicate the rest of the story was coming and he needed to wait.

"I went somewhere.. I'm not sure where but when I got there, I saw my Mom, Kisame and your brother" I said and I knew I grabbed his attention.

"I screamed at him for leaving but he did the thing he's good at. He turned the conversation around. We said what he had to say in the short window of time we had but the one thing he needed me to do was look after you" I told him.

"He cared so much about you, I know a letter isn't going to convey that but he made damn sure that was the last thing he said to me in that weird place. I'm sorry you feel this way about me but just know he was okay before he left the village. He needed it. It was the first time he did something for himself" I said, my own emotions coming over me.

I could see Sasukes face twisting a bit and I pulled him into a tight hug before the tears fell. He gripped onto me and we just sat there, mourning over his brother and I knew tomorrow was going to be worse considering he would see him one last time.

"I like your daughters name a lot," he said in a raspy voice but didn't let go of me. I nodded my head and he sniffled some more before finally letting go of me.

"Let's go back inside and have a great day" he said faintly and I nodded my head. I got up first and lent my hands to him to get up.

Sasuke had left shortly after we entered the house again to go around to let select people know it was okay to come see the twins now. Now it was a waiting game on who would get here first.

"How'd talking with him go?" Kakashi asked, filling the silence.

"Your favorite uncle has arrived!" a loud yell came from the front door before I could answer Kakashi. I started giggling, Neji had arrived.

He appeared in the doorway in a matter of seconds, Tenten right behind him.

"We were near the academy when Sasuke found us. Neji started running" Tenten said trying to catch her breathe.

"Well you didn't need to run, we weren't going anywhere" Kakashi said casually as he laughed a bit.

"I wanted to hold them" Neji said softly as he came closer to the bassinet holding them.

"It's actually feeding time for your niece, would you like to feed her?" I asked him and he shook his head quick with excitement. I patted the cushion next to me on the couch which he moved quickly to sit in. I didn't actually think he was going to show this much excitement about the babies.

Anyone that knew Neji knew he never showed this much emotion but I guess newborns change people in weird ways.

I set Neji up and he began feeding Karasu, which meant by the time she was done, Sakumo would need to eat too.

Neji was nearly done feeding Karasu when the front door opened again.

"Auntie is here! Where are my babies?!" a feminine screech boomed threw the house.

"Hanabi, don't yell. The babies could be sleeping" my Father reprimanded her and all of us withheld a laugh.

"For a clan whose normally quiet and well reserved you guys are loud today" Kakashi said and I started laughing.

Hours had passed and everyone finally got their baby fix, the twins were sleeping in their own room. A lot of people showed up in the few short house but now there were only a handful of us drinking tea in the living room.

"Well, before we go back to the compound. I have to inform you two that I can no longer prolong the elders on your engagement party. They demand is be three weeks from now" my father spoke, finishing his tea.

"No problem" Kakashi spoke for us and I gave him a look. No problem? Was he kidding? Who could we find to watch the twins for who knows how long the part would last.

"Excellent. I will tell them when we return to the compound" he said, getting up from his seat. It was getting late and I wanted to sleep for tomorrow.

"I think going home is a great idea" Neji said, also getting up from his seat.

"You are all welcome here anytime to see them" Kakashi reminded them as everyone was slowly rising and getting ready to leave.

And as if it was right on que, Sakumo started crying and I moved quickly to get to him.

"Goodnight everyone!" I said loudly as I made my way into the babies bedroom.

"Aw, what's the matter my little love?" I asked him as I picked him up. I rocked him a bit and his crying only dimmed a little. Whatever the problem was, I would figure it out.

"Let's try a nice warm bath, that always makes me happy" I whispered to him and walked down the hallway to find Kakashi so he could grab Karasu.

"Kakashi, I need your help," I yelled a bit and waited.

"What's the matter?" he asked, sounding panicked.

"Can you grab Karasu? It's bath time" I said calmly and his facial expression went back to normal when he registered it wasn't an emergency.

I got started on the water temperature and Sakumo was still cranky and I felt bad. The poor thing can't communicate any other way except for crying.

"I got new clothes out for them before I came in here, sorry for the wait" Kakashi said rounding the corner, coming in with a naked baby.

"It's good timing, actually. The water is finally a good temp for them" I said and started removing layers of Sakumo.

Once we had two naked babies, bath time began.

"Oh no, I can't do this" Kakashi said and I glanced over to see him struggling. I might have forgotten to mention newborns are super slippery when wet. I didn't mean to but I busted out laughing.

"Just hold her in your arms while I wash him and then we'll switch, okay?" I said to him and I've seen Kakashi move quick before but not as quick as pulling Karasu out of the water and into his arms with a towel over her.

"I'm glad you think this is funny, what if I have to give them a bath and you're not home?" he asked me sounding slightly irritated but I knew it was fear.

"Lay them on the bed and wipe them down with a face cloth until I get home, I don't know.. I thought you were supposed to be smart?" I asked, poking fun at him now as I continued wiping Sakumo off with nice warm water, which seemed to be doing the trick for him being less cranky.

"I'll remember this when you suck at something with them," he said, glaring at me which only made me laugh more.

"Okay, let's switch" I said to Kakashi as we swapped babies and he rocked Sakumo while he left the bathroom with him.

Kakashis POV:

I was leaving the bathroom to put clothes on Sakumo when I heard Hinata talked to Karasu.

"Don't worry baby girl, he really is great, just not with bath time" she cooed at our daughter and I smiled. She was the best.

Bath time seemed to take forever but at least Hinata and I were finally in our bedroom, laying down. The twins would be spending their first night in their own bedroom downstairs and I hoped everything would go smoothly. Not to mention they might be able to feel the protective aura of Sasuke since he moved downstairs.

Hinata broke me of my thoughts when she started to climb on top of me again like she did the other morning.

"You're killing me" I said to her, as I placed my hands on her thighs.

"I'm just excited that today went so well, I can't help myself," she huffed at me and put her hands on top of mine.

"Please, take your time today. I can handle it" Ru said shaking the small bottles in her hands.

Today was the day and I was dreading it. Dreading more or less for Sasuke and Hinata but for myself a little bit too. He was once my close friend and underneath all the fighting and hate we placed on each other the past few months, I would never see him again.

The only bright side to today was that Hinata could finally leave the district since she wasn't pregnant and that was literally it.

I hope Sasuke had help spreading the word about today since I've been inside since it happened.

"I don't want to do this" Hinata said stopping at the gates of the cemetery.

I grabbed her hand and turned her to look at me, she was already teary eyed and it made me sad. I hated seeing her like this and I wasn't in any way shape or form holding her back today from doing whatever. She was saying goodbye to an important piece of her life.

"Hinata, walk with me" a male voice said from behind me and I glanced to see Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto. I stepped aside and walked behind them. They needed each other more than ever today and I don't think they realized it yet.

Naruto and Sakura walked on the sides of me and we were suddenly in front of the burial area for the Uchiha clan. A freshly dug grave was here and a black shiny casket that was holding the body of someone we couldn't see yet.

I wanted to hold Hinatas hand so badly but I knew she needed Sasuke for this part, Itachi was their connection and they needed to say goodbye together.

We circled around and I could finally see him again, I felt a tinge of hurt in my chest, I wish this wasn't my last image of him.

I would take any image of him right now, except for this one. The one where he was statue still, not breathing and lifeless.

i didnt abandon the story. im sorry this took long but i didnt have a way to type things out until yesterday.. new update coming shortly but heres something for now (: happy holidays to
