Hello folks!

Here's the newest chapter.

As usual I own nothing, Kishimoto Sensai claims all copyrights.

Please, please, please give me some reviews. I really am trying to make the story good and I like to know what other people think so I can make it better.

Now onwards my dears, onwards!


Hinata wrenched once again into the toilet as the painful contraction in her stomach forced up the rest of what was her breakfast.

It had been the third time this week where she had gotten sick. She had a strong hunch about the cause, but she had to remind herself that her body had weakened due to the stress that she was under. But if the slight chance that she was pregnant was the answer, Hinata found herself a reason to be happier. She dry heaved for a few moments before flushing the contents down. She grimaced a bit due to the foul taste of bile in her mouth. As she rinsed her mouth out she wondered briefly if it would be a good idea to test her idea. It had been nearly four weeks since she was last intimate with Gaara, that should've been more than enough time for a baby to make its presence known inside of her.

The bluenette found herself walking down one of the many hallways that lead to her husband's office. Her mind began to wander unintentionally about her younger sister. Since their last encounter Hanabi had been acting even more bizarre. She could almost say that her rebellious sister was actually listening to her.

Hanabi almost never listened to anyone unless they had good reason.

'So what could she be thinking'.

There was only so much about Hanabi that Hinata knew. As kids, they didn't exactly have the pleasure of playing together like sisters should. Their father and the Hyuga council had practically forced them to despise each other in competition for the title of heir. Sure, they had moved way past that point. But even Hinata had her own wonders about her little sister.

"Hinata what is it?"

Her head snapped up, she hadn't noticed that she had walked into Gaara's office standing in the center of the room.

She mentally hit herself, she really needed to be more aware of what she was doing. A shinobi must always be vigilant for anything.

Try telling that to her, how long had it been since she had a reason to call herself a shinobi again.

Gaara had looked up from his work expecting to see his siblings or Baki. What he hadn't expected was to find his wife standing in front of his office with a look that told she was lost in space.

He ever so slightly tilted his head to the side wondering what it was she wanted to talk about. He doubted it had anything to do with her little stalker problem as she had promised not to worry as much anymore and trust him to take care of it. So what did Hinata want of him?

"Is there something wrong?" he asked again when he didn't get a response the first time.

She shook her head walking over to his side, making herself comfy on his lap. This surprised him a bit, but he didn't say anything as he wrapped an arm around her waist. "Gaara-dana I wanted to tell you something". "Oh? What might that be?" Hinata played with a strand of her hair as she looked him in the eyes "I think I might be pregnant". She said quietly; Gaara's eyes widened considerably "Really?" she nodded "I'm pretty sure. All the signs are pointing to it. I told you how I've been feeling so sick lately".

The red head took a moment to let all of that sink in. If Hinata's symptoms were correct. There would be another child coming into the family. Hena who had just turned two-years-old was going to be an older sister. Subconsciously he placed a hand over her tummy giving a soft smile. "I'd like that...very much to welcome another child".

Hinata found herself smiling as well. Placing her own hand over his. "I know it's not the best of times for this to happen but it's better now than never as some would say". Gaara couldn't help but give a short laugh "Hinata you truly are an amazing person". His grip on her tightened a bit; how did he get so lucky to have her again? He was just glad that she was his at all.

"We'll have to tell Hena at some point".

"Mmm she's going to have lots of questions for us".

"I'll leave that to you".

Gaara raised an eyebrow "Why me?"

Hinata gave him an innocent smile "Because your her father, and as such you have a duty to tell her where her future brother or sister came from. You wouldn't want to give Hena the wrong idea that her mother is sick for no reason would you".

There was a moment of silence before Gaara threw his head back to have a good hard laugh. A rich sound that echoed off the walls. Shaking his head he kissed his wife ever so lovingly. "I love you" she smiled against his lips "I love you too". The moment was short lived however when Kankuro chose that moment to walk in carrying more paper work "Gaara I that we need too-oh! So sorry didn't mean to spoil the mood". The red head sent a glare to his older brother, he almost never got to have a moment's peace with his wife since this whole crazy episode happened. Trust Kankuro to completely crush what was a happy occasion for him.

Seeing the scowl on her husband's face Hinata gave a soft giggle. "Kankuro-san I was just telling Gaara-dana the good news".

"What news? Is there another asshole stalking you?! I swear when I find the first one, I'll hunt down the next and make sure they don't live to see the light of day again!".

Gaara groaned in annoyance as he rolled his eyes; his older brother could be such a dunce at times. "No you moron, Hinata is pregnant".

Kankuro's jaw dropped "Come again?" The bluenette gave him a small smile "Kankuro-san I may be expecting a child soon. We'll be adding another baby into the family". A huge grin spread across the puppet master's face as he promptly grabbed Hinata out of Gaara's lap not minding her squeak of surprise and gave her a great bear hug. "Hinata that's wonderful news! My little brother does know how to use that limp dick of his after all!" Hinata's face turned bright red while Gaara just growled lowly taking his wife back into the safety of his arms. "Kankuro get out!" he ordered pointing to the door. His older brother didn't miss his cheeks dark red color out of embarrassment and laughed "I'll be sure to tell Temari the good news. I'll see you later Hinata".

"What an idiot" the red head mumbled still a little peeved about that lewd comment. Hmph! At least he knew how to use his, unlike that no-nothing little pecker buffoon.

"Gaara-dana?"

His attention shifted towards her, "I'm happy for this". Gaara pressed his forehead against hers "As am I". She laughed softy "Something funny?" shaking her head a bit, she decided to tease him "No nothing, I'm just glad that my husband is able to able to use what the gods bestowed upon him once and a while". Gaara's face had an astounded expression, did his innocent little Hinata really just say that?! She giggled some more kissing his neck before leaping to her feet and running out of the office. It would be ten seconds later that Gaara snapped out of his shock and got bolted out of his office to chase after her "Hinata get back here! Damn it Kankuro this is all your fault!".

Hanabi smiled a bit as she watched her niece show her some of her pictures that she drew. The pearl eyed girl had been thinking a lot these past few weeks. She still wanted to go back to Konoha but this time it was for different reasons.

More the once Hanabi would find herself thinking about what her sister would say should she bring it up. Hanabi knew that Hinata would have a fit if she said one wrong word about the past. But her intensions this time were good, Hiashi was no longer someone that caused her to hate. Despite everything that her bastard of a father put her and her sister through, Hanabi was forcing herself to try and let go of all that pain. It was by no means an easy task; she still had nightmares about the beatings she went through but she was doing all of this for Hinata's sake. Hanabi loved her older sister dearly and if learning to let go of the past to start anew for the future was the right thing to do, by the gods Hanabi was going to try for Hinata.

"Au'tie".

Hanabi looked back towards Hena her adorable face had a frown on it; since her aunt wasn't paying attention to her drawings. Laughing softly Hanabi lifted her niece into her arms. "I'm sorry Hena, Aunt Hanabi has just been thinking that's all. Please show me more of your beautiful pictures".

Hena would've done so if the pair hadn't heard Hinata's playful scream. Hanabi's face looked up with a startled expression. What was her older sister doing? She could hear faint voices getting closer from the hallway outside the door.

"Gaara don't! Stop! No, please that tickles!"

"Not until I get an apology for that little comment".

"Ahhh! No!".

What followed next was a fit of giggles, Hanabi raised an eyebrow in confusion. Maybe it was better if she didn't know to begin with. Hena who was curious as to what her parents were doing, wiggled her way out of Hanabi's arms and ran out the door.

Giving a soft sigh, Hanabi lifted herself to her feet and walked out to bring back her niece. The sight of her older sister made her eyes widened slightly. Hinata's face was flushed and she was laughing while Gaara held Hena with one arm and used the other to tickle her sides. Hanabi couldn't remember the last time she had seen Hinata so...happy with her family. Her Nee-chan was actually happy in this one moment of serine bliss. It was something that caused Hanabi to smile over, it warmed her heart to know that despite all that was happening Hinata still had a reason to smile. Not wanting to ruin the moment, Hanabi had planned to leave when Hinata finally noticed her, pulling away from her husband she ran to Hanabi throwing her arms around her as she tried to catch her breath.

"Nee-chan are you alright?" Hanabi asked a little startled by Hinata's actions.

"Hmm yes, I'm fine. Just trying to get away from my mean husband is all". The bluenette turned around and playfully stuck her tongue out at her red-headed husband who simply smirked at her. "You'll have to face your punishment sooner or later little girl". Hinata giggled some more "Only if her master feels it's necessary. I'm very cleaver you know". Chuckling a bit Gaara moved Hena to his other arm deciding to give his wife a temporary reprieve. Hinata let out a small squeak as her husband walked passed her with a naughty grin on his face. "Disrespectful jerk" she muttered as she smoothed out her skirt, a little flushed that he just pinched her behind.

Smiling to herself Hanabi finally decided to speak "Nee-chan you look happy".

Hinata's lavender eyes looked into her own pearl orbs "I am...I think I might be pregnant Hanabi".

The bluenette watched as her little sister moved closer to hug her. "That's such good news Nee-chan I had been wondering when you'd welcome another little one". Hinata wrapped her own arms around Hanabi, "I want this, I want to have more children with Gaara. I want to have a normal life".

"Nee-chan you already have one".

"Not the kind that I'd hoped. Believe me Hanabi I love Gaara and I only want what's best for our family, but sometimes all the drama can be too much".

"So don't worry so much".

Hinata gave a small huff "So I've been trying. It's hard Hanabi but I've been trying for your sake".

Hanabi looked a bit surprised "What?! But why mine? Shouldn't it be your own?"

Sensing her confusion, Hinata took her sister's hands in hers. "I know that it's been rough for the both of us. But I want you to understand that we've made it this far for a reason. I know that you hate it when I worry too much; and likewise I know when the wheels in your head have been turning. You're not exactly that hard to read little sister, I can almost tell when you're about to do something ridiculous. That's why I'm trying not only for my own sanity but for yours as well". Hinata waited a beat to let that sink in "I don't want to have to lose you again. That's why I'm doing this. To ensure that we'll both still have each other when push comes to shove. It's my job to protect you Hanabi and that's what I intend to do".

Hinata's words did have an effect on Hanabi it was something she was completely unprepared for. Who'd have thought that her sister was thinking on a similar scale to her. Go figure, they did have a rather strong attachment to each other so it would almost make sense in some weird way.

"Great minds think alike Nee-chan, why do you think I haven't been bothering you lately".

It was Hinata's turn to look confused which caused Hanabi to laugh "Nee-chan I've been thinking a lot about what you said. Call me crazy but I've been trying to move on and let go of the past". Hinata's eyes widened a bit "Hanabi you-" her little sister raised her hand silencing her "You didn't let me finish. I know that I can't take back what I've done. I know that I've hurt you, and your angry with me for more than one reason, but I want you to know that I really am trying for your sake".

Hanabi had a serious expression on her face. "You said it yourself, you wanted what's best for the both of us, I know that you may not trust me with that statement completely yet. But I'll prove it to you. I'll do whatever I have to do to make sure that your satisfied".

Since there was no way of knowing for sure, that Hinata would understand what Hanabi was trying to say. She didn't say anything more. All she could do now was wait for time to play it's part. Whether or not her older sister would trust her with this was entirely up to faith. It would be a waiting game. Hanabi looked into her sister's eyes smiling a little.

"I suppose we both have a reason to keep trying Hanabi".

She nodded "It's been so long since either of us, have given it are all".

"We'll see what happens in the future". Hinata nodded "Yes we will". She smiled as she poked her little sister's forehead this was supposed to be a happy occasion, it was better not to spoil the moment.

"What was that for?!" Hanabi grumbled rubbing the spot where Hinata poked her. "Because your my little sister, and I just felt like it". Pearl eyes looked completely lost, Hinata never acted this way "Nee-chan you sure act weird when you're pregnant". Both sisters stared at each other for a brief moment, until they burst into loud laughter.

"Come Hanabi, let's go find Gaara-dana, goodness knows what he's telling Hena about the baby".

"Oh? You think he'll give her the wrong impression about why her Mommy is going to get so fat".

Hinata's cheeks became pink. "Hush you! I just want to give Hena a gentler approach that's all". Hanabi smirked to herself.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want my niece to start asking what kind of dick he can give to his wife". Hinata stopped walking as her face turned a deep shade of red to resemble a strawberry. Hanabi laughed squeezing her sister's hand before she made a run for it. "Hanabi you come back here!" Hinata took off hot on her heels, intending to give her a piece of her mind. What a family she had.


Hope you all liked this.

I thought a little humor would be a good break from what's been going on.

Next update may come a little late, but if I have a spare moment I'll see what I can do.

Please review, and I'm open for any suggestions.

Till next time my dears!
