The sky was full of hundreds of thousands—millions—of stars, shining bright and beautiful in the sky. The night was quiet, with barely the sound of cicadas playing their melodic music, as Tenten lay by Neji's side in the middle of the lush green of the training field.
They were silent as they watched the night sky, their hands clasped together between them on the soft grass. Neji's thumb played a pattern on Tenten's hand, a soft caress which never failed to make her heart flutter.
Tenten felt Neji shift onto his side to face her. His fingers trailed down her cheek and she turned her face to see him propped up on his elbow, a soft smile on his lips.
"How are you feeling?" he asked, his hand leaving her face to rest against the growing swell of her stomach.
"Tired," she admitted truthfully. She was still in the early stages of her pregnancy, and she could feel the heaviness of her body, a fatigue that weighed on her like never before. "But Lady Tsunade says that's to be expected in the First Trimester."
A frown pulled at her husband's lips and his hand once again reached for her face, this time tracing the tired lines under her eyes. "Even so, I do not like seeing you like this."
Of course, he didn't. Neji loathed seeing her fatigued all the time, and he always made sure she was comfortable and cared for at home when he wasn't called away for missions.
She turned to her side, so they were facing each other, her smile warm and full of love as she gazed into his eyes. "It won't be long before I'm back to normal. Don't worry, my love."
"I will worry until I see it for myself." He leaned close and kissed her, slow and deep. She melted into him, her hand brushing through his hair with a contented sigh.
Everything about this moment in time was perfect. Despite her constant fatigue, Tenten wouldn't change it for the world. It was a sign that she was bringing new life into the world. She loved their unborn child more and more with each passing day and she couldn't wait for the day where she would finally meet them.
