I felt like a piece of shit leaving Mikito but there wasn't a whole lot I could do to comfort her at the house, and she already had Hinata checking on her practically every ten minutes. The poor old woman couldn't even leave her room. She didn't want the kids to see her like that I think.

God, I was glad she wasn't going through this alone at the old estate.

It was probably good for me to get my mind off things. Lord knows Shion could be pretty damn distracting, especially now that she was so wonderfully curvy. A little shyer now too, insecure about how the little bastard I put in her was changing her body no matter how many times I assured her she was still beautiful.

And she most certainly was still beautiful.

Those swollen pale breasts, those squishy sides that were so fun to pinch when I held her, not to mention that face that still looked borderline angelic with the white hair.

It contrasted sharply with the look of disdain in her eyes when she opened the door to greet me.

"Hey gorgeous," I started, putting a hand up to try and brush her cheek. She slapped it soundly away. I only raised a bemused brow and waited for her to speak.

"What do you want?"

"Just to check on-"

"-you never come over this late in the afternoon. And Neji's late coming home too, what's going on?" she demanded. My mind immediately went into high gear. I could probably tell her I needed an excuse to get out of the house with Mikito and all, though no telling how she'd react to that. Besides, I'd prefer to be at least semi-honest with her.

"I don't know. Hanabi told me to come see you and then swing by the Hyuugu manner,"

"See me?" she asked with a raised brow.

"It could just be that she gets a kick out of having Neji at a meeting or whatever knowing we're both here," I guessed, and it was a genuine guess.

"Great. Just great, really Naruto. I mean, I know the only reason you give a shit about me is because she told you to but really? You have to say it loud? You have to remind me? Now? While I'm six months preggo with your fucking brat?!" she said, tears forming in her eyes as she continued her stern stare at me.

It wasn't the first time we had a conversation like this.

She let me pull her into a hug with only a token push of resistance.

"Shion, you know I don't think of it like that," I promised, kissing her on the top of the head. "I'm really happy Hanabi pushed us together, that I get to give you some comfort after the life you had," she said nothing but let me continue holding her, continue stroking her hair and breathing hot air over her scalp. "And I still can't believe you let me put a baby in you, I'll always love you for that," I assured.

"Ha," she spat out. "What are you on ten now with 'the princess'? This is nothing I'm not…" she fell into sobs and buried her face in my chest at that. The action killed any doubt I had that this was just hormones and hot air. Still, it felt so good to hold her, comfort her, she really had such a rotten hand in life despite first impressions.

We stood there in the doorway for I don't know how long, just standing there holding each other until the sobs quieted down. When she finally lifted her head to look up at me I gave my warmest smile. Another sob slipped out as she averted her eyes, but she was finally ready to talk it seemed.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm such a… that I'm so awful to you. It's no wonder you'd rather be over with her than here with me," she continued.

"Shion, you know I love you too," I promised, taking her chin with my fingers and delighted that she let me. "I know I'm a jackass and an idiot, but the least I could possibly do is try to take care of all the kids I made. I can't walk out on Hinata,"

"And what about our kid," she bit back, though the tone was more pouty than miserable.

"Bring her over whenever you want! My house is practically a daycare at this point anyway, and Hinata would love any chance to spend time with her adorable little niece," my nose brushed hers as I spoke, finally earning just a flicker of a smile. "We'll see each other all the time," I promised.

The smile came back. It was weary and just a smidge worried, but she was grinning at the thought.

I took her lips.

We kissed gently, holding each other another long while as I stroked her back, her hair, every semi-platonic place I could think of as we made out. She liked to take the lead, and she didn't wait too long to do it. One hand came up to grip my shirt, tugging gently until I broke the kiss and heard her demand.

"Take this off," she asked breathlessly. One more hard kiss and I eagerly obeyed, delighting in the way those shining eyes glazed over my form. It went on long enough that I cut her off.

"Can we go the bedroom now my little snow fox?" I teased, taking her chin once more to resecure her gaze.

She was so fucking cute when she blushed.

She waddled on off while I trailed casually behind her, following her to that luxurious bed she shared with her husband. At least fucking her here wasn't going to be a battle. She almost always led me here, got a kick out of it I imagine.

That delightful blush was still on her cheeks as she sat down. It got pinker when I pushed her down on her back and kneeled down on the floor. Just sweats and a shirt covering that delightful body of hers. I didn't even find panties as I yanked her pants down to the floor. Just a delightful pink slit that produced all sorts of fun noises when I touched it.

Those soft, sensual hums of pleasure made a lovely background noise as I devoured her. My tongue buried itself in that increasingly wet cavern, wiggling like mad as either hand gently rubbed her swollen stomach up above. Her own hands, much smaller and softer, were currently trying to rip the hair off my scalp.

I think she might have actually got a few strands when she came. Still, I endured, continued my administrations until she made her delightful demand.

"Damn it Naruto stand up and fuck me!" she whined out between ragged breaths. I smiled victoriously against her slit, gave it one last kiss, and then came up to obey. She let out the most delightful, high-pitched sigh as my rod began sliding in, tapering off right about the time I bottomed out. She was still so warm, so wet and ready.

I made love to her in long, slow strokes, delighting in the little gasps that rang out with every thrust. Looking down at her as I thrust made it a challenge, but she was already warmed up from the oral. If anything it looked like she was going to pop first, the way she bit her lip so sexily as she gripped the bed.

The best part was that she looked right up at me the entire time. Her eyes were locked straight up, gasping and blushing as she locked her gaze with mine, only occasionally dropping them down to look over the muscled torso that I worked so hard to maintain.

There were tears back in her eyes as she spoke.

"I love you… I love you Naruto I-I-I OH GOD!" she called out, squeezing me so deliciously as she did. Needless to say, I eagerly followed her, draining my cock and laughing at the last little squee of pleasure this action brought from her.

She looked over at me as I lay down beside her, catching my attention when the sleepy grin fell off her face.

"You're really not worried at all about when the baby comes?" she asked, after a good while.

"Not really. Are you?" I asked tenderly.

"I'm…. well it's hard to feel anything but good at this particular moment," she teased. "Same for you?" she asked coyly, smug almost in the new smile that formed.

I took a long look over her body. Naked, glistening with sweat and still leaking my cum onto the mattress. Her belly poking up out of her like a bubble and the content smile on that damn, angelic face.

"I feel really happy right now,"
