Author's Note: I decided Hinata's Chapter would be here, after all this is a fic to be both Pro-Hinata as well as Sakura and I thought it would be nice to focus on how she feels about the situation before Shinachiku gets to meet his half-siblings!
With that in mind here we go!
Naruto was already deeply attached to the little one and Hinata knew it wasn't just because he was a child as she looked back to Sakura, whom was watching Naruto with a small smile before to Sarada whom was approaching the blond man slowly as she smiled to him and the cooing blond baby.
Her heart ached even when she didn't want it to.
She had long accepted that other things came before her in Naruto's heart, she might have vainly hoped that she would be at the forefront for a while, but that had only happened once in her whole relationship with Naruto and that was the time where she first married him and had Boruto.
Even when they were dating he was off on many missions and after Boruto became big enough to walk Naruto started prepping for his future job, pushing her and their son to the back burner of work, even when she became pregnant with Himawari she was never the forefront of his priorities, even when she was happy Himawari was.
She had been trying to follow his example ever since she realized it, putting her children before her husband, as her children were her life, but as always he was such a big part of it as they constantly asked her when he was going to be back home, if he was going to spend time with them, Boruto especially thirsting for his approval.
Oh Boruto…
Hinata knew her son was going to be heartbroken seeing the new addition to the family, which he would hide with rage.
And all she could hope was that the young boy wouldn't blame Shinachiku as well, though it was no one's fault the little one deserved no ill-will especially.
She couldn't bring herself to hate the small one in her husband's lap, Naruto bouncing him gently as the green-eyed boy gabbed to him senselessly as if telling him of all his journeys, Naruto appeasing with gasps and 'I see!'s
She gently cleared her throat and Naruto took a couple seconds before he looked to her, Sarada not looking up as she tried to catch Shinachiku's attention, Sakura's focus worriedly on her.
" Will we be telling Boruto and Himawari?" She asked quietly.
She might have lost her stutter but she was still a rather quiet woman when she wasn't furious.
" Ah!" Naruto blinked for a couple seconds as if just retaining clarity, as if he had forgotten his other children were around, which cut her slightly, " Of course! He is family after all!"
Hinata nodded and looked down to the baby of the room.
She walked over slowly, letting everything fall away as she crouched to be eye level with Shinachiku, whom stared at her curiously.
She put out her hand and gently wiggled her fingers, his hand coming down to hers as she gently brushed a thumb against his soft chubby hand, giving him a small smile before standing and leaving the room, the door giving the softest click as she heard Sarada ask Sakura if it really was a good idea to get Boruto involved in this.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
However Hinata was not going allow the gossip to run rampant and have her children be the last to know on something so important as she went back home, hearing her son's video game from in the living room and Himawari's soft humming as she was on paper with her arsenal of crayons, the two of them looking up to her with their pale blue eyes for a moment.
" Okaa-San's home!" Himawari pushed herself up and raced over as she collided into her mother, wrapping her arms around her and nuzzling her face into her stomach.
" So what did the shitty old man want?" Boruto asked, merely looking back to his game as he lounged on the couch.
" He didn't want anything Boruto. Please do not insult your father like that." She murmured as she held Himawari back.
" I'll stop when he's here to stop me." He grumbled back as he didn't move his eyes away from his game before speaking louder, " Then why did he call you?"
" Because your Aunt Sakura wanted to speak to us."
That caused Boruto to look away from his game, " Something big?"
Hinata wordlessly nodded and he sat up, tossing the game behind him as Himawari looked up to her curiously.
" Something we can see?"
" I believe that would be best, please be quick to get ready."
" We get to see Daddy?!" Himawari gasped, delighted as the ex-Hyuuga nodded, her daughter cheering and racing for the front door where her shoes were as a curious Boruto followed, being trailed after by their mother.
