Okay, peeps. This was going to be a one-shot, but I got tons of reviews wanting me to continue it, so I did. This chapter hopefully explains how Hinata and Gaara got together and whatnot.

Also, my name used to be JakotsuGlomper. Now it's GaaraStalker, and it's probably going to change soon. So beware!

Gaara sighed as he finally was allowed a break from all of the questions. Who would have guessed that Konoha kept so many big-mouthed shinobi? The reunion, at first, was made up of about twenty various ninjas. Now the surrounding area held at least fifty residents, all waiting to ask the Kazekage how exactly he came to meet and marry the Hyuuga heiress. Gaara groaned as another flood of people came rushing at him, then brightened as Hinata shooed them away, saying,

"Let me talk to my husband alone, please. He'll be with you in a moment." Gaara kissed her cheek in thankfulness. Hinata led them to a secluded part of the clearing, under the shade of a willow tree. She handed Hideki over to him, knowing that the sleeping girl would help calm his frayed nerves. They sat together for a moment before Hinata broke the silence.

"We should probably let them know how we got together. You'll get no peace, otherwise."

"Yeah," sighed Gaara. "But it's such a long story. It'll take awhile to tell it, and then we'll be telling it over and over again to those who didn't hear the first time."

"Not necessarily. Only a few people need to know, then they'll spread around the word, and before long all off Konoha will know our story."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

Hinata giggled and snuggled up to Gaara's side. He put an arm around her out of reflex, holding Hideki in his lap.

A few minutes later Naruto, having recovered from his fainting episode, poked his head through the curtain of the weeping willow. He blushed at the sight of the two cuddling, then said,

"Man, I'm still not used to you two being, you know, together yet."

"Well, you better start getting used to it. We'll be together for a very long time." Gaara replied. Hinata smiled at his comment.

"Anyway, everyone wants to know your story. Will you tell us now?" Naruto asked anxiously. Gaara grumbled, but agreed. He stood up, held out a hand for Hinata, and followed Naruto out of the safety of the tree.

"So there I was, traveling to Wind Country, just because Tsunade-sama had one of her mood swings. Being the ambassador to the Sand was the least of my worries, though." Hinata said. "A group of thugs-for-hire jumped me on the way there."

A collective gasp came from the transfixed crowd in front of her. Hinata giggled in her mind—never would she have been able to speak to such a big group of people before she met Gaara! But she could now.

"She managed to knock about seven men out," Gaara intervened. "But the last few threw a chakra-inhanced net over her. Hinata was out cold. I just happened to be walking by there and heard a fight taking place. No screams, though, which led me to figure that it was a group of guys fighting. Imagine my surprise when I find a girl tangled up in a net and four men surrounding her! Naturally, I killed the men and was about to kill Hinata, although I didn't know it at the time!" The killer intents from the crowd died down. Gaara sweatdropped.

"So anyway, I chose that exact moment to wake up." Hinata continued. "Apparently something in my eyes made him refrain from killing me." A light blush found its way to Gaara's face. It was true—He had seen a foreign glimmer in Hinata's eyes that made him pause to think.

"And yes, I know I'm making him blush." Hinata continued. Gaara glared at her. She giggled, not at all concerned.

"Anyway," Gaara said, "I decided not to kill her, and instead took her back to Suna to study the net that was over her. I had never seen something inanimate that could cause a ninja to lose consciousness before, and I wanted to try to reproduce it. Not sure why I took Hinata along for the ride, but whatever."

"It was my amazing beauty, of course." Hinata cut in. Gaara raised an eyebrow at her forwardness. So did their audience. Hinata rolled her eyes and shifted Hideki in her lap, where she had crawled to in the middle of Gaara's narrative. "What, can't that be the reason?"

Gaara snorted. "Sure, but that's not the reason I took you with me. I think it was because you reminded me of a squirrel I used to have when I was little. Actually, I think I named it Hina. Go figure."

Hinata scowled. "A squirrel? Well, at least that's better than being a raccoon, like you." Gaara gasped.

"A raccoon? Is that all you think of me as? I'm hurt." Hinata stuck out her tongue at her husband. Gaara returned the favor.

"Ahem." Naruto coughed. "Can we continue with the story, please?" Hinata and Gaara both turned and stuck their tongues out at him, this time.

"We had deprived childhoods, give us a break." Hinata said after retracting her tongue.

"Yeah, my family tried to kill me on a daily basis and Hinata's family thought she was worthless. We weren't the best raised kids." Gaara agreed. Naruto sighed.

"Well, can you please continue the story? I still don't get the marriage and everything."

"Fine."

"So I had an unconscious girl towing behind me (Hinata fell back asleep), courtesy of the sand, and a net draped over my arm. Of course, anyone who stared at me was treated with a glare harsh enough to melt steel, so no one questioned my actions." Gaara began. "I took her to my house,"

"More like mansion" Hinata cut in.

"And put her in one of the rooms. I had a servant dress her wounds and bathe her, then put her in bed." He went on like there was no interruption.

"I woke up three days later, after severe chakra depletion. Gaara was beside my bed, just staring at me. I screamed" Hinata continued. Gaara looked at her.

"Why did you do that, anyway?"

"Well how would you like to wake up to who you knew was a homicidal maniac?"

"Hey! I wasn't a maniac."

"No, you were just homicidal. So anyway," Hinata cut off Gaara's retort. "I was still screaming when Gaara's sister, Temari, barged in. She saw me, in bed, yelling, and Gaara right beside it. Naturally, she assumed the worst, and started lecturing Gaara about the pride of a woman."

"That was scary. And disturbing." Gaara commented.

"I finally calmed down enough to explain that, no, Gaara didn't do anything other than stare at me, and yes, I was perfectly fine."

"After she left I found out that Hinata was coming to Suna as the ambassador from Konoha. I told her that I was the Kazekage and I had saved her." Gaara said.

"Although he mentioned that he shouldn't have with the way I made so much noise." Hinata sniffed. Gaara rolled his eyes.

"Ignoring that. Once Hinata was well again we went over all the negotiations and everything, and she was about to leave when news of a sandstorm reached us. She would have to stay another week or so."

"And I wasn't about to just do nothing for a week, so I got Gaara to train me in more advanced medical jutsus. I figured that Suna had different medical problems than Konoha, what with the different climates and everything, so I wanted to learn Suna jutsus. He agreed, although I'm not sure why."

"I had nothing better to do."

"Yeah, whatever. So he started training me. I was able to master the jutsus faster and more effectively with Gaara teaching them to me instead of my overbearing father,"

A 'Hey!' was heard from the audience.

"And I learned a lot within the week. When the sandstorm was finally over, I wanted to stay to finish my training. I sent word to Tsunade via hawk, and stayed in Suna. I was completely done with my training within two months."

"When Hinata was getting ready to leave, I came in her room and asked her if she would stay in Suna permanently as a medic-nin."

"More like demanded." Hinata inputted.

"I knew that Konoha had the legendary Tsunade to help in their medical field, and Hinata had become very skilled. It would have benefited the entire region if she stayed."

"And I did."

The crowd 'aww'ed at the look Hinata gave Gaara. Naruto ruined the moment.

"But what about the kid?" Hinata shot a sour look at him, which made Naruto appear affronted.

"Her name is Hideki, and we're getting to that part." Naruto looked sheepish.

"After a while I realized that Hinata's presence calmed Shukaku. I began to hang around her more and more, to keep him under control. I even found myself dozing off in front of her, and I was fine—Shukaku didn't try to posses me or anything." Gaara explained.

"And from being around me so often, Gaara ended up falling in love with me. Of course, I had realized months before that I loved him, so when he proposed it was no problem. We got married a year later, and nine months after that Hideki was born. During which time Gaara had to suffer through major mood swings and trips to the store at two o' clock in the morning for chocolate."

"Now that was painful.Especially sinceduring labor you nearly crushed my hand. Actually, if I hadn't cushioned it with a layer of sand, you would have!" Gaara interjected. Hinata shrugged.

"Not my fault." Gaara huffed. "Now I live in Suna. I'm the head medic-nin there. Maybe you've heard of the Miracle Lady?"

Everyone gasped—the Miracle Lady was almost as famous as Tsunade for her medical skills. It was said that she could heal anyone, no matter what the illness.

"You mean you're the famous healer?" Naruto said, flabbergasted. Hinata narrowed her eyes.

"Is that a problem?" Naruto gulped at her murderous look.

"N-not at all!" Hinata suddenly smiled.

"Good."

The crowd was sufficiently creeped out.

And that's that. I might add on to the story, making it even longer, but it'll be at my own rate. It all depends on whether I can come up withenough ideas for it. I have a few, thanks to a certain reviewer who talked about a certain Hyuuga with certain mood swings during a certain pregnancy. Did you catch allthat?
