A/N- Just something I saw in a dream. Loosely connected to "learning to be a father". Set one year after Sasuke left on his mission.
DISCLAIMER- I do not own naruto.
Title- It's all in the smile
Pairing- Naruto/Hinata
Uzumaki Hinata and Uzumaki Naruto sat on the porch basking in the warm August sun. Next to them the newest Uzumaki shifted in her play chair, giggling softly whenever a butterfly would fly by. Naruto smiled contently as his wife leaned over to wipe some drool off of the baby's mouth who was currently trying to form spit bubbles with her saliva. Her blue eyes looked on with fascination as the blond tufts of hair on her head blew with the wind. Naruto smile only grew as he looked at his child, a child who knew nothing of the horrors of the world or the feeling of loneliness. He intended to keep it that way. Being an orphan Naruto had always wanted a family like this and he would make damn sure that his daughter never had to go through the sort of things he had to go through as a child. Of course it helped that the villagers no longer saw him as a demon and it also helped that he was treated with respect and prestige. After all he would become their Hokage in two weeks time. Nudging Hinata in the side Naruto put an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Hinata-chan, you know that I love you right?" Naruto said with a grin.
"Naruto-kun" Hinata said looking into his blue eyes "Even if you never touched me or talked to me, I would still know that you loved me."
"Ano…how would you know that Hinata-chan?" said a genuinely confused Naruto, who was scratching the back of his head. He knew he was dense, but how could you know if someone loved you if they never told you that they did?
"Simple Naruto-kun" Hinata said resting her head on his shoulder, a soft smile playing on her lips. "It's all in your smile.
Naruto smiled down at the woman next to him. He really loved her and was happy to know that he didn't have to tell her that he loved her twenty times a day for her to know it. Still, if she loved his smile that much he would make sure to show it to her everyday. Next to them the baby clapped her hands and laughed softly, the setting sun casting them in a warm orange glow. Even though Uzumaki Ayumi was still just a baby she knew that not even the sun could out burn her parents love for each other. And in her mind she wondered if anything could.
A/N- Looks like naruto and hinata have another shikamaru on their hands, hopefully she won't be as lazy. Don't know whether to do a Neji/TenTen or a Sasuke/Sakura next. Please tell me which one you think I should do nextin a review. Till next time.
