Prompt 5
"I've wanted this for so long"
The last time Neji cried had been when his father died while he was still just a boy. But here he stood, in front of the woman he loved as tears pooled in his eyes as he stared at her in awe.
"What did you say?" He breathed, thinking maybe he had heard wrong.
"I'm pregnant Neji." Tenten replied, a hand resting protectively over her belly as she looked at him with shining eyes.
"Pregnant." He whispered. "Pregnant."
Tenten laughed at the dumbfounded look on her husband's face. "Yes, I'm pregnant. You're going to be a dad, Neji."
"I'm going to be a dad." The dam finally broke and Neji swept his wife up in a hug, spinning her around the room. "I'm going to be a dad!"
Neji planted her feet back on the ground and drew her in for a kiss. "I can't believe it." He breathed, resting his forehead against hers as his eyes gazed at her lovingly. "I've wanted this for so long."
Tenten stroked her husband's cheek with her thumb, a sweet smile on her lips. "Wanted what?"
"This." He replied with a kiss to her forehead. "A family. With you. All of this is like a dream come true."
It was Tenten's turn to cry at her husband's loving words. She took his face in her hands and kissed him. "It's a good thing you don't have to be afraid of waking up, because this isn't a dream. We are going to live a long, beautiful life together Neji. This," she added, taking his hand and placing it on her stomach, "is just the beginning."
I live for Nejiten family moments. Look forward to more in upcoming drabbles. ;)
