I'm sorry for not updating sooner. But, here's something nice and happy.

He woke up in the middle of the night, something on the end of his senses, telling him that something wasn't right. His muscles flexed and he stiffened in the bed, all thoughts of sleep going away instantly.
By instinct alone his hand went out to strike only the empty right side of bed. Sitting up he looked down at the hollow pillow and the coldness beside him, and his mind went through a frenzy of thoughts of where could she have gone. Turning his head around his eyes caught the light coming under the bathroom doors.
He didn't have to strain too much to hear the retching sound coming behind the doors. Frowning he pushed his legs over the bed edge and set them on the carpet, calling out. "Tenten? Everything all right?"
A grunt and a deep groan of pain answered him and he was on his feet in a second. He knocked on the door, now worried, his eyes alert and ready. "Tenten?"
Flushing.
Water running.
"I'm okay." She answered and opened the door. He expected to see her exhausted, because this was the third night in a row she has been sick and bent over the toilet, but there was a happy, almost goofy looking grin on her face and her eyes were sparkled with tears.
"I'm more then okay." She said, laying one hand on his shoulder. "Actually, I'm pregnant." She whispered, leaning in to hug him and bask in his warmness. Startled, he blinked once and then closed his arms around her. "Really?"
Pulling away she pushed herself up on her toes and kissed his seal. "Yes, really." And then he kissed her as if he has never kissed her before, slow at first, enjoying each touch and the brush of her lips on his own before the kiss depend and she felt herself melting away under his mouth and in his love.
That was the first time Neji laughed out loud for more than a few minutes as they spent their night in a silent, love making wake, both deliriously happy and in love with what the future will bring.
