Thank you all for the reviews, favorite and following this story.

LaCrazyWriter, you'll be pleased to know, smelling is an important aspect of this story.

I'm happy to finally introduce the Nara's.

...

It was Sasuke and Hinata.

When they came there, they found Kakashi visiting her. He was her former sensei and they have been through a lot together. It's only normal that Kakashi visits Sakura. It's not normal that they both were shocked and had pale faces like they saw a ghost. Or two. Something was suspicious.

Kakashi quickly left after Naruto's arrival. Sasuke and the Uzumaki's shortly after. The Uchiha went home loaded with a lot of leftovers. 'That lucky Dobe' he thought.

What is happening with Sakura and Kakashi? Do they have something going on? They looked so shocked and fidgety when they saw him.

After a few days he tagged along Hinata to buy maternity clothes for Sakura. He has no idea what to look for. He thought she needed bulky dresses or blouses. But there was more to it than that. Hinata is due in the same month so she knew better about all her needs. After shopping, they went to Sakura's place.

Before they arrive, he demaned that Hinata uses her Byakugan to see if someone is with Sakura. 'So, this is what it is all about' she thought.

"No, that is forbidden by the Hyūga, to sneak in someone's privacy." She defended.

"This is important. I don't want her and her guests to be surprised like last time. Remember?" He manipulated her.

'Maybe he doesn't want to be faced with people who don't like him, and they were a lot in the village.' She considered.

"Ok... BYAKUGAN"

She saw Sakura and Kakashi again... But this time they were… k..kissing!!

"And? " he was curious.

"N... Nothing, let's come an..another time." She stuttered.

"Why? What did you see?" he insisted.

She bit her lower lip.

"Tell me" He is getting irritated.

"She is busy," she answered.

"Doing what?" His voice changed, she was making him really mad.

She is not used to lying. But she won't say something like that to Sakura's husband. She was silent looking to the ground.

"It is Kakashi, isn't it? Are they having sex?" He asked boldly.

"NO..no they are just kissing, maybe it doesn't mean anything. Please let's go" she pulled his arm.

He wasn't mad as Hinata though. On the contrary, he was happy for Sakura to move on. And find someone who appreciates her. 'One could only be ignored for so long before they started to look elsewhere.' He thought.-

Kakashi was a gentle, nice man. Pervert but has a good heart. He would be a great stepfather to his child in the future.

However, the last Uchiha has to talk to Kakashi and Sakura, to make things straight. It's the Uchiha bloodline in the game.

Hinata thought Sasuke was depressed and hurt by what she saw. So, she decided to take him home, make them dinner and have him sleepover. Naruto will definitely be happy. And he won't feel alone and consider making dangerous things to himself or others. She knew his temper.

The last Uchiha went to the Hogake's office. He must set things straight.

"Do you have feelings for Sakura?" Sasuke couldn't be more direct.

"Sasuke, there is nothing between us, don't worry," the Sixth answered coldly.

"You can't lie to me Kakashi. I know you always liked her and she you. I have nothing against your relationship. You know our marriage is fake. Just..."

He was silent for a moment. 'He does that a lot.' thought the former Sensei.

"Sakura is supposed to be the Uchiha matriarch, I don't want a bad reputation for her. After delivery you are free to do whatever you want. I want my child to be an Uchiha and know I'm the real father if I'm not around.

He or she may develop the Sharingan and know you're not the real father. I told Sakura she can have a divorce at any time." Sasuke spoke after he collected his thoughts.

"not around? Why? Where are you going? And I think you better make that clear with Sakura." The Hokage said slowly.

"I don't know yet, and i'll talk to her too," Sasuke flickered away.

Kakashi was a little bit relieved that he had Sasuke's blessings, whatever that means. What a complicated relationship?

Sasuke was at Sakura's apartment. He told her he spoke to Kakashi, and he knew about their relationship.

"Sasuke-Kun, it's nothing. Just attraction, we don't have a relationship yet." She defended shyly.

"I'm not interested in the details. There is something important I want to discuss with you." He told her what he told Kakashi.

"I know I told you; you can get a divorce anytime. But it's better if we wait until the baby is born?" The last Uchiha spoke.

She doesn't want a divorce EVER. She wants to be an Uchiha. A head of the ancient clan, the matriarch. She doesn't want that Zero on her clothes, she wants a red white fan. But she wants to be with Kakashi too. If they keep it a secret, she can have both. She agreed with a blush.

After a few months, it was January. And the snow was high. Sasuke visited Sakura to check on her, and if she needed anything. Sakura felt her baby move a lot; she pulled Sasuke's hand and put it on her belly.

He was amazed to feel his child kicking and moving. He couldn't get enough of it. But the movements stopped after a while. Sakura told him, the baby is probably asleep now.

That was an incredible experience. He never thought foetuses move and sleep in their mother's womb. He must learn more about it.

He went to Naruto's house. Hinata will surely help him. They spoke about the baby's movements in the belly. She brought him some books to read.

Naruto told him the baby stops kicking when he puts his hand on Hinata's belly. "Let's try you, Sasuke. Put your hand" Naruto requested.

And before he could react. Naruto grabbed his hand and put it on Hinata's bump. She and Sasuke blushed. Naruto never saw Sasuke blush like that. It was amusing to see. The blond laughed at him.

After a second, the baby kicked Sasuke's hand hard, it hurt Hinata. He was amazed that this child reacted to his hand too. He moved his hand to the other side. The baby hit him hard there too. Sasuke chuckled.

Naruto and Hinata were happy to see Sasuke delighted like that, it's so unlike him. He did that for a while. Then he looked at Hinata, eyes gleaming. After a moment he said "it's a strong child. Our baby didn't hit so hard."

"Maybe she is a gentle girl," suggested Hinata, smiling.

'A girl!' Thought Sasuke. His mother always wished to have a girl. She said they are less trouble than boys.

He was so happy and at peace. This is a new feeling he didn't know. He even chuckled. He wasn't sure why though. Was it his child making him feel like this or Naruto's or everything together?

He went home, it was so cold. So, he climbed his futon and read the books. He learned many new things; he had never expected.

Every winter Konoha celebrates the long nights with The Fireworks Festival.

The Uzumaki beauty wore a dark mauve kimono and a thick shawl. She went with Naruto to enjoy the festivities and street food. They were having a good time and playing fishing games.

The Uzumaki's spotted the newlywed Nara family. They looked so cute. They are probably the sexiest couple after our Heroes.

Hinata and Temari got along very well. They never got a chance to have fun like this. Not even at girls' night. Hinata was always too shy and melted in the background. Now Temari got the chance to know her better.

The Uzumaki's invited the Nara's to have dinner together.

After Dinner. Naruto was no match to Shikamaru in shogi, so no bother trying. They drank sake instead. Temari and Hinata went to the kitchen to chat and prepare dessert.

"I heard you and the Uchiha are good friends," said the wind wielder.

"Yes, I healed his eyes after the war and helped build his house. He is Naruto's best friend so we meet a lot." Answered Hinata innocently.

"You know I had a crush on him when I first saw him at the Chunin exams. He looked great back then but now WOW. How could you resist him? I mean seeing him all the time. How could a woman resist an Uchiha?" Whispered Temari not to be heard by her husband.

Hinata blushed remembering their almost-kiss incidents.

"The girls told me they all had a crush on him even Tenten but now you. You always had an eye on Naruto." Said the blond.

"I admired Naruto-kun's Character. Everyone thought he was a loser and treated him badly. I felt bad for him. And I was amazed that he didn't care about them and ignored their mocking and scolding. He never gave up, while I was a weakling. I learned a lot from him. I learned to be stronger and to fight through, even if it seems impossible." Hinata admitted with determined eyes looking at Temari.

"Oh dear, that is why you chased him all your life? That is not love. We all admire heroes. Even I admire Naruto for his character and determination. That doesn't mean I love him. Why did you marry him? Are you really in love with him?" Asked Temari little confused.

Hinata was even more confused. She didn't give a thought to these matters. She thought she loved him, he said suddenly he loves her too. They married in no time. And she got pregnant right away. She never had the time to think about it.

She thought what she felt as a kid was love. No one told her otherwise except Temari. She had no experience with love or anyone in her surroundings to advise her.

They all are shinobis, too busy to think about love and emotions.

"It's a little too late to think about that. I'm pregnant and we are happy." She was silent for a moment then she added. "Temari-Chan, how do you know you are in love? how do I know if Naruto-kun loves me or not" She must know if she even loved Naruto, and if he loves her.

"It is when your heart pounds when you see him. When you enjoy each other's company even if it is just silence. When you miss him if he just leaves. When he respects your emotions, when he respects the things you love and treats them like his own. When he thinks about you first because you're his priority."

Well, she feels some of those things for Naruto. Her heart doesn't pound like when she was a child. They are never silent because IT IS Naruto. She does miss him but not when he just leaves. She likes her me-time. She remembered the times he prioritised his friends over her. She remembered the time he laughed and kinda flirted with Sakura like she doesn't exist. She remembered him teasing about her boring habits. He told her they possess a big part of their little apartment. That's why she pressed flowers, sewed and embroidered at the Hyuga residence and gardened at the Uchiha's.

Does this mean he doesn't love her? Does she even love him? Maybe Temari was wrong. Maybe she doesn't know what she is talking about. This can't be true. Their relationship is fine. They love each other for sure.

"Tamari-Chan, how do you know all that about love?" She must know if this info is accurate.

"Do you think Shikamaru is my first love? I was the beauty of Suna. Many men adored me. Remember that revived one at the war?" she giggled " and I had some lovers too before I fell in love with my dear Shika. I know all about it. If you have any questions..." she said in a friendly whispering.

Maybe this is her chance to know more about the stupid Love.

"em.. how..how do I know if we are meant for each other? How did you know Shikamaru-Kun is the one?" Hinata asked hesitating.

"If you feel like yourself with him. You feel you don't have to act. You feel so relaxed in his presence. He never judges you or puts you uneasy. You feel friendship, not only love. It's very important in marriage. You feel jealous when he comes close to another girl. You feel possessiveness and you feel the strong attraction on every level specifically sexually. In your situation, I don't doubt that." And she looked at her big bump.

Hinata blushed shyly. Temari said a lot of things she should think deeper about. She couldn't help but feel a special sensation she only felt with Sasuke. But that could never be. They are friends and there is maybe a little only a little attraction.

- Quote from My One In The Million, like it so much " Break for me" but it's a little too dark.

The Fireworks Festival is in the summer in Japan, I think. But for me it sounded logical in the dark winter of Konoha.

That was my stupid simple definition of something like love, if you have a better description let me know.
