Thanks to all the loyal readers specialy my dears LaCrazyWriter and I-Love-Trunks-1. Hope you all enjoy this chapter.
It was spring and the flowers in the Uchiha District were in full bloom. Hinata went every few days to collect them and then gift them or press them.
On 27 March, she was watering the garden when she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She had that all day, yesterday too. It's probably her uterus training preparing for the big day. She read that somewhere.
But now it was a bit much, she has to bend over to take on the pain. Then it goes again. It was like this all morning. The contractions were getting closer and closer to each other and the pain was getting worse. Until she couldn't anymore.
"SASUKEEEE" She screamed in a high pitch.
He was there in a second. His katana in hand and his eyes bleeding red.
"What... What... Are you ok?" he found no one but he saw she was in a lot of pain.
"I can't take it... AAAH... HELP... take me to the hospital... I guess it's time." She mumbled.
He grabbed her legs and told her to hold on tide with her arms around his neck. He jumped from roof to roof holding her bridal style. She was in no time in the Hospital. They send word to Naruto in the Hokage tower.
Sasuke was about to leave when she grabbed his hand. "Sasuke-Kun, please... stay..." She pleaded.
"Naruto will be here soon. Don't worry." He answers warmly.
"I want you too to be with me. You give me strength. At least, until he arrives." She begged.
They started the procedure. The medic put her under monitors, belly exposed. She still had little time until the birth canal was ready to deliver.
Sasuke held her hand and waited with her. Every now and then there will be a strong contraction. He let her squish his hand every time it was too much for her to bear.
He felt sorry for her and all mothers to have to bear such pain to bring a little human being to this world. He has more respect for human lives, which needed protection after all this trouble to have it.
Naruto arrived shortly after. She wanted to have a waterbirth. In the meantime, she was ready to deliver the baby, they filled a bath for her.
Sasuke excused himself and left. Hinata's eyes never left him until he closed the door of the delivery room.
After an hour Naruto came out happy.
"Thanks, Sasuke, for taking care of Hinata. It's a BOY. I named him Boruto. What do you think? Did you know Hinata bit me? look, it's bleeding. But that is nothing compared to what she got through." Naruto was bubbling none stop enthusiastic.
"Congratulations Naruto. I'll leave then. I wanted to make sure everything is ok." Answered Sasuke in monotone.
"Don't you want to congratulate Hinata and see the baby?" Spoke Naruto disappointed.
So, they went back to the room. Hinata was happily looking at her baby sleeping in her arms as if nothing happened.
Sasuke took a look at the child. He was so small. He looked exactly like Naruto, with Hinata's features. He even got two whiskers, " He's a copy of Dobe, congratulations Hinata" He looked deep into her eyes. His look was full of overwhelming emotions.
"Thank you Sasuke-Kun. Thank you so much for helping me through it." Hinata said smiling. It's the first time he says her name.
"May I hold him?" He asked shyly.
She was surprised "of course...of course, come closer." She put his body on his arm and then the head slowly. Though Sasuke had one arm; she wasn't afraid that he would let him fall.
"I didn't even get the chance to hold him, Sasuke! " said Naruto, kind of jealous.
Sasuke looked happy. After a while, the baby started to move and open his eyes. His mouth was like a fish looking for food.
He admired him for a moment. Then he returned him to his mother. "I guess he's hungry, he'll start to fuss if he doesn't get his meal." He was amused.
"Wow Sasuke-Kun... I guess you've learned a lot from the books I gave you." She replied.
"Hm... I'll leave you then." And he left while she was unbuttoning her gown.
Naruto was fascinated by how natural for Hinata it was to breastfeed her baby. And how Boruto had recognised her boob and sucked on it. He had some perverts ideas but for later.
After a few days, at 31 Marsh, Sakura was due too. She was doing some routine paperwork at the office in the hospital as her water broke and she felt it was time.
Karin was doing training in the hospital. And she was the only one available at that moment. She sent word to Sasuke; he was there in minutes. He knew how it goes. She was under monitors until the time was ripe. He thought he saw women suffer at childbirth. He saw nothing!
But Sakura was strong. She had delivered a baby girl. An Uchiha baby. Pale skin, raven black hair, and probably eyes, he couldn't tell, her eyes still closed.
Naruto was with Hinata ready to leave the hospital with their son when they heard the news. They visited the Uchiha couple and congratulated them. "She is also a copy of you Teme. I hope she grows up strong like her mother though." Teased Naruto.
"She is beautiful Sakura-chan, a total Uchiha," Hinata giggled. Sasuke blushed.
The last Uchiha was proud, finally, his dream of restoring his clan came true. And it wasn't possible without Sakura's patience and determination.
Without thinking he bent over and kissed Sakura's big forehead. It was swift but it surprised everyone, even him.
They all blushed. Only Naruto could break the ice " ok, ..em. we'll leave you two lovebirds. Congrats again." He said scratching his nape.
Hinata was shocked by the public kisser. Though it wasn't on the lips. But she never imagined them kissing. They have a baby. They made more than kissing, like a thousand times probably. She blushed, looked to the ground and left with Naruto and their son.
Sasuke noticed that. Why did he do that in front of her? His feelings were true. But he didn't mean it romantically.
The woman had a new-born in her arms and left with her husband. He doesn't owe her anything. He could kiss or do whatever he wants. Why does he feel he cheated on her?
The Byakugan Princess was the first couple of months too busy with the baby. Boruto was such a troublesome child. Very demanding and always wanting attention. The only free time she gets is when he naps. That would take half an hour to put him down for a 15 minutes nap.
Her visits to the Uchiha District were very few and very quick. She begged Sasuke not to forget to water the garden and feed the chickens. Especially now almost summer. This is not Suna but the summer is getting hot.
Sasuke didn't want her precious flowers to die uncollected. Hinata was so fond of them. She would get so sad if she saw her garden in a bad condition.
He cared for the chickens. Collected eggs and sent them to her or the Hyūga neighbours.
He removed the weeds from the garden. Collected vegetables. Watered, fertilised, and topped up the soil.
The Uchiha clan leader planted sunflowers, white lilies and lavender for his sunny place, Hinata.
He bought several flower pressers. Everyone was shocked in the store. The mighty Uchiha buying flower-pressers? That will be the gossip of this summer.
He didn't care, he was only caring about Hinata's feelings. When she sees her flowers ruined, it will make her sad. He didn't ever want to see that.
He collected the flowers, pressed them and arranged them to colour and alphabet order, and sorted them in a thick old book.
After a few months, it was summer; the weather was perfect for morning brunches and it was Sasuke's birthday. He doesn't like to celebrate it. So, all of them agreed it's just a "brunch". Anyway, every few months, the Uzumaki and the Uchiha would meet, now with their new additions. Boruto and Sarada are four months old.
They sat in pairs facing each other, the loud facing the quiet. Naruto was next to Sakura facing his wife. Sasuke is next to Hinata.
They were talking or Sakura and Naruto did most of it while the dark-haired ones stole glances at each other, and every now and then their elbows, feet, and hands would innocently touch.
Shikamaru and Temari were passing by that morning, Temari was pregnant in her seventh month. They stopped to say hi. After greeting and a little chit-chat.
Temari said to the girls delighted "aren't we fortunate, every one of us married their childhood crush" Temari was sure about the ladies, she knew all their stories from girl's nights.
Hinata looked at Naruto with wide eyes. Sakura blushed looking at Sasuke. Naruto turned his head automatically looking at Sakura for 3 seconds before he reconsidered and turned quickly to grin at his wife, scratching his nape.
Hinata saw that, so did Sasuke and Shikamaru. She frowned and lowered her gaze. Sasuke held her hand under the table not looking at her.
Shikamaru felt the tension building up, that was too troublesome so they said goodbyes and left. But not before Temari made a date with Hinata to have a chit chat about birth and delivery.
She didn't ask Sakura; they weren't best of friends after Temari told the medic-nin to shut up in front of everyone at the OVA chunin exam of Naruto and Konohamaru. -
Hinata knew Naruto always loved Sakura, everyone knew that. But after more than a year of marriage, he still thinks of his teammate this way and in front of everyone, was embarrassing.
Sasuke didn't want her to feel this disappointment, he wanted to comfort her. He knew she would be hurt by Usaratonkachi's reaction.
Her hand felt soft, warm, and small under his palm. He doesn't want to remove it. It felt so satisfying to hold hers.
He turned her palm slowly and tangled his fingers with hers. She blushed, her heart stopped, and glimpsed at him from under her bangs. His heart slammed from her glance. This wasn't a comforting touch like it was before. But she didn't remove her hand either. She felt comforted, understood, and loved.
Naruto was lucky Sasuke didn't care much about Sakura otherwise there would be eternal flames all over. It seems he cared about Hinata's feelings more than anything. The more she thought about it the more confused she became. Why didn't he care when Naruto looked at his wife, while he cared for her hurt feelings?
Sasuke knew that Naruto had feelings for their Teammate since childhood. It never meant much, that is the effect of rivalry. The Uzumaki want Sakura to love him like she loved the Uchiha. Even if they shared a mutual love, Sasuke didn't care for all this crap. Not to forget there is also Kakashi in the mix. All Sasuke cared about was HER.
Hinata remembered all the times her husband mumbled Sakura's name in his sleep. Even after he is married and his teammates are married, he still dreams about her.
She hears less of it now that they barely sleep next to each other. He spends most of his nights at his home office (in their new mansion), on his comfortable sofa.
After a few days, Mrs. Uzumaki visited the Nara Residence. Temari had a lot of questions about birth. She was a little traumatised by the death of her mother giving birth to Gaara. Hinata had the same experience, her mother died giving birth to Hanabi.
She assured her that times have changed and that medic care is more advanced now. Her friend is strong and she shouldn't fear. Though every woman gets the creeps at the thought, no matter how many children she has already.
"I'm sorry that I embarrassed you last time I saw you all at brunch. I didn't mean too. I was talking about the girl's crushes. I didn't expect your husband to be such an idiot and look at Sakura. Shikamaru and I talked about it. He should grow up and forget her. They are both married. Though I found the marriage of Sakura and Sasuke a little weird. " Temari apologised.
"Please don't apologize Temari-Chan, it's not your fault. I'm used to him having a thing for Sakura-Chan. They spend most of their childhood together. They shared a lot of happy and sad moments. And had a mutual goal in bringing Sasuke-Kun back." she said bitterly.
"So, you are saying, your teammates are your crushes? You would look like that to Kiba or Shino?" teased Temari.
"No of course not! I love them but like my brothers. Like I love Neji nee-San" she defended quickly.
Temari raised her eyebrows and nodded her way with a knowing look.
Dense Hinata was quiet for a moment figuring out how Naruto's feelings for Sakura weren't normal. After a minute she said ashamed.
"You should see them laughing and flirting. Like I don't exist. They forget I'm right there like a third wheel. It is so embarrassing but I don't like...really care. I should get angry or jealous but I'm not. I don't have those feelings around Naruto-Kun." she admitted thinking.
Why doesn't she care about his emotions for Sakura or any other female? Why is she apathetic? He is her husband, she should be possessive of him, his feelings, and his dreams. But she is not.
"He should be ashamed of himself. Sakura too. She can't continue treating Naruto like before, like he isn't married with a child" Temari said, shaking her head in disgust." but why aren't you jealous, you're even defending them? "
"I don't know, I don't understand it myself," she said, surprised with wide eyes.
"And that shameless Sakura. I thought she was a good girl. She saved my brothers. They adored her. But she was crazy about the Uchiha. Now that she has him, she can't be loyal and flirt with other women's husbands. " She wondered.
"Honestly I don't understand their relationship. They live separately and you can't feel any emotions between them. Sasuke-Kun is a private person and doesn't show emotions in public but also Sakura-Chan is weird around him. They married in a hurry. I don't know if Sasuke-Kun feels love for her." Hinata told her best friend.
"How did you and Naruto fall in love? Shika told me about the moon incident. But I want you to tell me what you saw in that Genjutsu. No one knows about that." Temari asked curiously.
"Well, I was always in love with Naruto-Kun, since I was a child. He loved me after he saw my feelings and memories in that Genjutsu. Honestly, I began to lose faith that he would ever answer my love and I felt free for the first time. I didn't care if he loved me or not, I didn't feel stressed around him, my heart didn't beat seeing him like before, I didn't faint or blush around him. I felt relieved from chasing after him, relieved from this one-sided love. I felt his curse was broken.
In that Genjutsu I saw his obsession with chasing Sasuke-Kun. His wish to be the strongest, the best, better than Sasuke-Kun. The best Hokage that ever lived. For that he needs the acknowledgement of Sakura-chan that will mean he is better than his teammate. Even in loving Sakura-chan it was about rivalry, in the beginning. But later he truly loved her, and dreamed about her continuously. But even though he loved her, he promised to return Sasuke-Kun to her. He was afraid people wouldn't trust him if he couldn't save his friend. All his life, I wasn't even the slightest in his thoughts or memory. But I never thought I was anyway." Hinata confessed in a sad toon.
Temari was turned down for a moment. Sorry for her unfortunate best friend. She is really a poor girl. She felt Hinata never knew happiness even after she married her childhood crush, it doesn't mean anything. Loving someone who you knew for certainty they love someone else and have other goals and dreams then being with you is agony.
Hinata deserve to be happy. And Temari was determined to help her.
After a few weeks, Temari was about to give birth in a few days.
" Hinata dear, you have no idea how horny I'm. And Shikamaru is not helping. He doesn't want to hurt the baby, he says. He fucks me so softly, so boring. I want him to be a monster like before. Fuck my brains out, you know. Uggggg like fire. I want a lot. Like all night. But he couldn't. I'm so frustrated. Do you have any idea what to do?" The Kazekage's big sister was making lion sounds.
She chose the wrong person for advice. Hinata and Naruto haven't had sex for months. He was always coming home late from his Hokage training or she was too exhausted from running after bothersome Boruto all day. Eventually, she lost interest too and sex was so tiering anyway.
"That lazy bastard. Don't you want to feel held tied, kissed, and nibbed by the neck..." Temari added still in her trans of horniness.
Hinata could only think of one person doing this stuff to her. What? She shook her head. Not him. What is happening to me?
Hinata cut her off "Temari-Chan stop talking like that. I think you should talk to Shikamaru-Kun about it, and let him know lovemaking won't hurt the baby. And also, you have to be a bit understanding. That he can't do that all night, he is a very busy man." She said in frustration.
"Oh, how cute you are Hinata. Lovemaking hahaha. There is no love in it. It's a survival instinct. To produce and populate. I do love my husband but I just need sex now, animal pleasure and satisfaction." Temari said with excitement and wide eyes.
After a few days the Uzumaki's visited Temari and Shikamaru, they had a son a week ago. They named him Shikaday. He was so cute. Copy of his father but with Temari's gorgeous eyes.
The next afternoon she arrived at the Uchiha residence. She brought bento boxes with delicacies that made Sasuke rethink if he ever had more delicious food than this.
His rice was decorated with the Uchiha Crest. It looked so perfect that he didn't want to ruin it.
She tended the garden and checked on the chickens. Then Boruto starts to fuss looking for his food source.
It was a hot summer day. And the coolest place was in the living room between the open doors in front of the only electric fan.
She put on a futon, laid her son down, and laid next to him on her side. Sasuke was sitting on the porch leaning on a pillar half his face looking in her direction.
He stared at her while she was preparing the napping place. Boruto continued to cry loudly now his hunger hit him hard. Which stressed her and rushed her to feed him. She laid quickly and exposed her swollen full boob to feed him.
Before that, she squeezed both boobs to control which one was the fullest and remembered where he had nursed from last time. She forgot the Uchiha completely. That's what occurs when a mother hears her child cry for food that only her boob can provide.
Sasuke was startled, the scene was an as natural thing as fiction for him. Breastfeeding never occurred to him before. He never saw a child nurse from his mother. Even Sarada took the bottle because Sakura had trouble nursing her and it hurt her, she claimed.
But it looked so natural to Hinata and Boruto. He was finally silent. Just whimpered slightly enjoying his meal. Hinata closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of relief from emptying her heavy boob.
Sasuke stared at her exposed boob. He never looked at Hinata that way. She was always dressed in oversizee purple blouse and 3/4 pants. But now she lifted her blouse up to expose her soft milky white tummy and her soft round huge boob to nurse the child.
He couldn't lower his gaze. The action was too interesting and too new for him. He blushed heavily. He didn't know the sight of her almost naked upper half turned him on until something began to stir in his lower half.
She opened her eyes. Boruto was asleep but didn't let her go. She unhooked his mouth with her pinky. Wiped her boob and covered herself. Sasuke was looking at the pond. The show took too long. She turned on her back tired.
"Sasuke-Kun, I think Tsunade-Sama is Naruto's grandmother and Jiraiya-Sama his grandfather. They had the Fourth outside of marriage. That would explain the Baa-chan and Erosennin interest in him." Hinata said just like that.
"Well, I never thought of that. But everything is possible in Konoha. I noticed something too, Itachi's zodiac is Gemini and he was a double spy for the clan and the council." he answered with a fact.
"You know what's funny? Neji nee-san and I thought we will marry each other when we grow up. We were like 4 and 3." she told him, smiling slightly. She tried to change the subject.
He was silent for a moment.
"Everyone loves the full moon. It's romantic and beautiful. But I hate it. It's always related to bad events. The infinite tsukuyomi, the night of the massacre, the night... " He couldn't find the words." you and your sister were kidnapped" he meant you and Naruto kissed in front of the full moon. Where he thought he lost his friend, it turns out he lost his chance for love.
She got up and walked to him. Bend her knees to be on his level. Then she tried to poke him on the forehead. He grabbed her wrist, glaring at her. "don't ever do that to me again, that was a sign of brotherly love from Itachi. I don't want to be your brother." he said firmly. Maybe too firm, he noticed Hinata was in shock and tears welled in her lavender eyes. He regretted his manner immediately but he couldn't find a better way to apologise than kissing her two extended fingers. He wasn't a man of words.
She gasped from the rare intimate gesture.
He tried to change the subjects. "how about a spar, you haven't trained in a while, didn't you?" he asked in monotone.
"in a very long while." she replayed sweetly.
"I'll lend you some training clothes of mine. We could train while Boruto is asleep." He went upstairs to get some clothes.
He brought a dark blue T-shirt and one of his training pants. She went to the bathroom to change.
The pants were way too big for her so she left her pants on. And changed her blouse into the T-shirt. She bundled her long indigo hair securely. And she walked to the training ground. The Uchiha crest on her back. It suited her, Sasuke thought. She looks like an Uchiha.
He began lightly sparring with her. He knew she had not trained in almost two years. She felt so happy about the change in her routine and in training again. It relieved her stress and frustration.
They spared for some time until Sasuke grabbed her both hands in front of her stomach as not to strike him with her dangerous Gentle Fists. He was behind her, his face near her face. She held her breath and froze. Looks like the sparring has stopped. Sasuke didn't move either. His panting tickled her sensitive neck. It was torture really. She closed her eyes panting heavily too. All she could feel is the warmth of his breath, the sensation of his body soo close to her, and the fondling of his spiky bangs on her cheek.
He brought his nose closer. He missed her sweet smell so much. He never smelled anything more fragrant than her natural scent. He closed his eyes to enjoy the closeness of her petite body. He tightened his grip on her hands a little to press her against him. His lips brushed lightly the goosebumped skin of the side of her neck.
She opened her eyes wide. At that moment, Boruto started to fuss, looking for her. She escaped Sasuke's loose grip running to her child. Sasuke stood there for a moment, surprised. What just happened?
Then he went inside to take a shower. A very long cold one.
Both couldn't sleep most of the night. Too much is going on between them to be ignored.
I think it's cruel to let a pregnant woman go on a trip, sleep outdours and have her first birth in a hidout. Then travel back to konoha with a newborn. What was Kishimoto thinking? In my story, Sakura delivered in Konoha's Hospital.
Plus what kind of atonement is this when Sasuke travels the world and enjoying his girlfriend in the wild? This whole thing doesn't make sense.
White lilies from The Flowers,the Lone Gardner and His Wife i love it so much, one of my favourite stories "what is there not to like? " love it love it. Though that Toneri part and Action is not my favourite to read or write.
