"Mmm…"Hinata moans aloud as she shifts onto her back. She thinks back to the sleeping tip she read in the book Shizune had given her. Sleep on your left side. Unfortunately for her she slept mostly on her right the whole night. Her body ached as she gathered strength to move her body upward against the headboard-she was up early; too early. It was day break, the clouds still covering the sun; a gloomy grey light shone into the room through the curtains. She looked down at her side and smiled at a sleeping Sasuke. It had been a long time since she'd awoken with him still in bed. With an enormous pressure building on her bladder she scoots out of bed and rushes to the en suite.
Feeling the sudden whip of the blanket against his body Sasuke flinches away. He sleepily opens his eyes and sees a blur of Hinata as she runs into the bathroom. He blinks hard as the loud slam of the door shocks his system. Stroking his disheveled hair out of his face, he sluggishly sits up and yawns loudly. Moments later the door clicks and Hinata steps out sleepily from the bathroom. Rubbing her eyes she looks up at Sasuke. Sitting against the headboard he rubs his right eye.
"Sorry, I woke up." Hinata says groggily. Making her way onto the bed, she lazily crawls over the sheets-and Sasuke—to get to her side. "Oh…sorry." She says apologetically as she accidently places a heavy hand on his knee.
Propping up her multiple pillows Hinata lies back down on her side. Looking at the paper work on his nightstand Sasuke sighs and without hesitation slides back underneath the blanket to go to sleep. He tosses and turns until he finds a suitable position. A long body pillow down the middle of the bed separated the two of them. Shizune had told Hinata to purchase one as to allow her to sleep more comfortably. After coming back from many missions Sasuke would come home to find more and more pillows on the bed. Hinata was now six months and two weeks pregnant. After finally getting the maid to come back Sasuke and Hinata both had a burden lifted off their shoulders. Sasuke continued going to work and Hinata continued to do more research on how to cope with all of her pregnancy symptoms. Recently Hinata's stomach had begun to protrude more; her mood had also begun to fluctuate more frequently. With work and a pregnant Hinata at home, Sasuke had become exhausted. Though he had planned on continuing his good husband attitude, the stresses of life suddenly started to kick in. Just three days ago, when he had come back from a mission he came home to Hiashi sitting in his living room.
/
"Ah, you're home." Hinata looked over her shoulder to look at Sasuke who had just walked through the front door. She sat in the living room, small pillows propped up behind her. On the coffee table sat two tea cups, full and steaming hot. Looking directly at Sasuke was Hiashi who was sitting opposite of Hinata. Sasuke nods his head politely in the direction of his father-in-law.
"Why don't you wash up and join us." Hinata says nervously.
"No need to wash up. Come. Sit." Hiashi says sternly, not taking his eyes off Sasuke. Placing his pack on the ground Sasuke makes his way over and sits next to Hinata.
Hiashi gives the couple a long hard stare. "This child is a child of great heritage. I assume you've both secured a proper place for the birth."
Hinata looks at Sasuke and back to her father. "Well, the hospital is just fi…"
"Hospital?" Hiashi raises his voice as he gives his daughter a scornful look. "As I've said, this is no mere child. You both must understand that you can't let just anyone handle the birth."
Hinata shakes her head slightly and looks up at her father. "Shizune-san is more than capable."
"Shizune-san, of course; but you must have good security. There are many out there who are not in your favour." Hiashi looks sternly at Sasuke. "Surely you understand there are those who wish the worst unto you." Sasuke scoffs internally and keeps a straight face. Hiashi places his hands on his knees and stands up. "If you require assistance, we at the Hyuuga estate have many capable men at the ready to provide impeccable security."
"Father, you're overreacting. Needing such security, that's preposterous." Hinata stands up and protests. Hiashi looks down at Sasuke. "I understand you know what I am talking about. If you ever rid of your pride, Uchiha Sasuke…" Hiashi makes his way to the front door. "I will surely lend a hand."
Hinata watches as her father leaves the home. She looks down at Sasuke and raises and eyebrow. "What did father mean when he said 'I understand you know what I am talking about.'?"
Licking his chapped upper lip, Sasuke takes in a deep breath and exhales. He stands up and makes his way to the front door to pick up his pack he had left there earlier. Hinata watches him and awaits his answer impatiently.
Picking up his pack Sasuke looks over at Hinata. "It's not a big problem. It's nothing for you to stress about." He walks down the corridor to their bedroom, Hinata huffs and soon follows behind with a frown on her face. "Nothing for me to stress about? If it's the safety of our child, of us; I will stress all I want." Her voice raised, she angrily looks at Sasuke as he unpacks his bag. Sasuke clicks his tongue. Of all times, Hiashi had to come over and start this. Placing a folded shirt onto the top of his drawer Sasuke looks at Hinata. "There've been some talk about…a certain group…wanting to…get back at me…"
"Again?!" Hinata shouts and leans against the door frame.
Sasuke sighs aloud, "It's just talk, rumors, it's nothing to stress about." His voice exasperated he takes off his shirt and throws it in the hamper. Hinata tilts her head back, her mouth agape, and her eyes watery. She smacks her lips as she takes in a breath. She looks down at the ground and makes her way to the bed. Sitting down she looks at Sasuke, who is now staring back at her with a remorseful look on his face.
"I thought this was done with…" Hinata's voice shakes; she clenches her teeth and shakes her head. Sasuke walks to her, standing in front of her he looks down." I've already dispatched my men here, Naruto is fully aware of this, this home, you, our baby everything is already secured. I swear, on my life. Nothing will happen to us."
Hinata looks up at him, her eyes filled to the brim with tears. She sniffs with a nod and shows him a thin smile.
/
After that night Sasuke had gone directly to Hokage's office. Giving Naruto an earful about how he shouldn't have told Hiashi. Since then, nothing has happened. Everything remained quiet and it all really was just some talk from another village. But to be sure, there were still five Anbu members on guard around the Uchiha compound at all times. Though everything had been peaceful, Hiashi's visit irked Sasuke. It made him more paranoid than it should have. Sasuke was stressed at the thought of his family's security.
Hinata shifts more in her in her spot, constantly trying to get comfortable. Sasuke sighs and looks over at her sleepily. "I'll go sleep somewhere else; you need to get comfortable…"
Hinata opens her eyes sleepily. "No, no…stay…I want to sleep with you." She reaches her arm over the body pillow and extends her hand onto Sasuke's arm. "Am I bothering you?" She asks naively.
Sasuke bites his tongue. "I just want you to get a good sleep."
Hinata smiles against the body pillow. "Mhmm…I'm good now, let's sleep." She mumbles sweetly. Sasuke lies on his back uncomfortably, too tired to change positions and interfere with Hinata's new found position; he lays still and shuts his eyes.
000000000000000000000000000000
A faint knock comes from the other side of the bedroom door. As Sasuke awakes, the knocking sound becomes clearer. Looking over his shoulder sluggishly he sees Hinata hugging her body pillow tightly. Her mouth hung slightly open and a sliver of drool hung at the side of her mouth. Getting up, Sasuke makes his way to the door. Stretching his arm forward he reaches for the door knob. A knock stops midway as Sasuke opens the door.
"My apologies Sasuke-dono. You have a guest waiting at the door." The maid said with her head down.
"What time is it?" He asks groggily.
"Ah, it's just past noon." The maid steps to the side, allowing Sasuke to pass her. Closing the door behind Sasuke, the maid follows him from behind while he walks down the corridor. Stretching his arms out in front of him he yawns. Opening the sliding door he sees one of his guards standing behind a familiar blonde.
"Oh…Sorry, did I wake you?" Ino says surprised, her eyes focused on his naked upper body.
"Come in." Sasuke turns around sleepily and makes his way back to corridor. "Serve some tea." He says to the maid as he walks down the corridor. "I'll go get Hinata." Sasuke walks back into the bedroom and leans gently over Hinata.
"Hinata…" He pats her on the arm lightly. "Hinata…Ino is here…Hinata…"
Hinata flinches and raises her head. "Hm?"
"Ino is here." Sasuke repeats himself.
"Ino?" Hinata sits up in bed and rubs her eyes. "What time is it?" she says as she yawns.
Sasuke walks over to his side of the bed and sits down. "A bit past noon."
"Ah…right." Hinata sighs and gets up slowly to the en suite. Sasuke lies back down under the sheets, letting out a tired sigh he shuts his eyes.
Ino sips on her hot tea and looks around the large home. Placing her tea cup back on the table she shifts in her seat and rests against the large back cushion of the couch.
"Sorry…" Hinata walks out of the corridor, tying the belt of her bath yukata loosely. Ino perks up and smiles at the disheveled Hinata. "No, worries."
"I completely forgot you were coming today." Hinata sits down and smoothes back the loose hair that had settled at the sides of her face.
"Well, I won't be long." Ino looks into her bag and takes out a few papers. "Sorry to bombard you when you're so tired but here is the invite list to the baby shower." Ino places a paper on the table and slides it towards Hinata. Picking up the paper, her pearl like eyes scan the list.
Ino watches Hinata's face and notices that she pauses for a moment. "Is something wrong?" Ino asks concerned.
"Ah…No, uhm…it's nothing." Hinata looks up and smiles.
Ino raises an eyebrow. "If there's someone on that list you don't want coming you have to tell me."
Hinata hesitates and looks back down onto the list. Ino exhales loudly. "It's Sakura isn't it?" Hinata looks up at Ino with sorry eyes.
"Are you two seriously still like this? I thought everything was resolved." Ino said with a shake of her head. "You guys were fine just a while ago at my place."
"Not really Ino." Hinata puts down the papers. "There will always be this weird…thing between us."
"Because you hate her?" Ino says while reaching for her tea.
"I don't hate her." Hinata says quick and sternly. "It's awkward you know? I'm sorry I didn't tell you anything. I mean…a part of me does think we're okay but…another part of me just…I don't know."
"Well I haven't sent out the invites yet, so I just won't send her one." Ino takes the papers and places it back in her bag.
"No…invite her. I have to get over this eventually and I can't keep dodging her. Invite her with everyone else on that list." Hinata says with a huff.
"Okay, so that's a go." Ino places her tea cup on the table. The maid comes and places a steaming cup of tea in front of Hinata. Hinata nods politely and reaches for it.
"So, how've you been?" Ino looks at Hinata with a smile.
"Tired. Thanks again for planning this for me." Hinata brings her tea cup up to her lips and blows gently over the hot tea.
Ino smiles warmly at Hinata. "No problem." Ino waves her hand. "Really, I'm glad you're letting me throw you a baby shower in the first place."
Hinata takes a sip and pauses for a brief moment with her tea cup pressed against her lips. Putting the tea cup down gently, she speaks. "Since you haven't sent out invitations yet…could we have the baby shower a little sooner than expected?"
"Earlier? When?" Ino asks curiously.
"It's just that, I've been feeling so…pregnant." Hinata chuckles breathily. "I think it would be best if we had it before I felt anymore…"
"Pregnant." Ino finishes Hinata's sentence and giggles. "Sure, sure. When were you thinking?"
"Probably around next week?" Hinata looks at Ino with a 'don't hate me' look.
"Okay, uhmm…" Ino takes out a small booklet from her bag. "Hm…Next…."She flips through the pages. "Friday?"
Hinata's face brightens. "Perfect."
"Okay then, next Friday it is." Ino jots down the date in her notebook and places it back in her bag. Ino hesitates before turning to look at Hinata.
"Are you truly okay with Sakura. I mean you both, have you guys talked any of this out. But really…what is there to talk about?" Ino says curiously.
"I don't know what we need to talk about…" Hinata hesitates. "I feel like, everything is done; and I feel I need to know that she understands that."
"Done?" Ino tilts her head and takes a moment to think to herself. "Okay so basically you're saying 'She needs to understand that Sasuke is your husband and the both of you are starting a family. She has no chance with him. She has to get over it.'
Hinata nods her head shyly. "Basically. I feel like…she'll never truly be happy for us…yet I'm confused as to if I even want her to be…"
Ino sighs and places her elbow on the arm rest on the couch and rests her head on her hand. "Okay, I get the gist of it. But can I ask you…honestly. What do you feel about Naruto now?" Ino says with a serious face.
Hinata scoffs slightly. "Seriously?" Ino nods her head.
"He is someone I admire, not someone I love. As horrifically cheesy as it sounds, I found love in the one person I never thought I would; and when I found him." Hinata takes a breath inward as a smile creeps on her face. Shaking her head and letting out a small chuckle she continues. "I don't love Naruto…I found that I never truly loved him. It was more admiration. I learnt what true love was when I met Sasuke. I love Sasuke and only Sasuke." Hinata says firmly.
Ino shifts in her seat and leans forward. "Unfortunately, it's not like that with Sakura. Sasuke will forever be her first love. The first love that she'll never get over, to her; she'd run into his arms in a heartbeat if she could. Knowing her all these years, that's how it is. You might not believe this, but to her; she probably feels as though you've taken him away from her. And in all honesty, to see that something so precious to her was taken away, to see that someone who showed her no tenderness could do so for someone else…It must hurt. The fact that when she see's you and him together, she questions herself if he would've been the same to her if she were in your shoes…It's hard to be around that. I'm not saying she's in the right, I agree she needs to let this go. But for her…she's not ready to let it go. Sadly, it's taken a toll on your friendship. I honestly wish for the day when you two can just be normal again."
Hinata sighs and looks at the ground. "Honestly, I just get sick of being the bigger person. I feel like…she's victimizing herself constantly. The rare time we accidently meet and speak to each other…it feels like she's competing with me. I can't cut her out of my life…she's someone who will always be around." Hinata looks up at Ino."You know, there are times where I do just want to yell at her and I feel horrible for thinking that…"
"Well, all you can do is what you hate; be the bigger person. Hopefully time will bury all the animosity between you guys. But I suppose the first step is having her at the baby shower."Ino sits back and rests on the cushion behind her.
"You're right." Hinata says with a sigh.
000000000000000000000000000000
She caresses his bare chest and gently plants kisses across his collarbone. Flinching and bracing himself against the wall Sasuke lets out a grunt. Hinata's tongue glides down his left pectoral and encircles his nipple. He lets out a hiss at the sensation. Her light eyes look up at him as she suckles gently, releasing a small slurp. Flashing him a smirk she continues downward and her hands shift to his backside, grasping his buttocks tightly she pushes his hips forward and her teeth graze the rim of his pants. Her tongue laps upward and to the side, she nips him with her canine at his exposed hip bone. He bends forward and places his hands on her back of her head. She quickly removes her hands from his buttocks and releases the button of his pants, pulling his jeans down. His hands release from the back of her head and fall to his sides. The shape of his semi hard self peers at her from within his boxer briefs. Her right hand palms his member, gently awakening him even more. Her left hand on the back of his left thigh, her nails dig into his skin as she grasps him firmly. Looking up at him mischievously, she opens her mouth and extends her tongue. She licks upward, following the shape of him. With only the thin fabric between her wet tongue and his hardened member he exhales loudly at the new experience. His boxer briefs tighten and become unbearable. He wants to grab her and ravish her intensely. Her teasing was too much. His body stiffens and he feels as though he can't move, all he can do is watch as she teases him. Pulling down his briefs she smiles and takes a hold of his shaft. Her hands moves upward and her thumb strokes his urethra, sending shock waves up his spines. He huffs loudly and sweat dribbles down the side of his face. Extending her tongue once again she licks the length of his shaft with the flat of her tongue. His hair falls to the side of his face as he looks down at her. With one hand pumping on his shaft her other gently tugs and massages his globes. Running her tongue up his shaft she engulfs it whole as she reaches the top.
/
Sasuke awakes with a jolt; his eyes open wide to the ceiling in their bedroom. His hair wet from sweat stick to the sides of his face and he rises from his sleep. Are you serious? He lifts the blanket off of him and looks down to find a late afternoon surprise. You have to be kidding me? What am I fourteen? Getting up he makes his way to the en suite. I shouldn't have to be beating one out like this…He shuts the door to the bathroom and rests his back against the counter sink.
Since Hinata had entered her third trimester, she and Sasuke's intimacy levels had dropped dramatically. With feeling unsexy, too heavy, and well pregnant; Hinata had been avoiding Sasuke's and her own carnal desires. With not having touched his wife for so long Sasuke had become extremely sexually frustrated. With just kisses, he would have to hold himself back in order not to upset her.
Clenching his teeth Sasuke pulls down his pajama pants and boxer briefs. Feeling dejected, he reluctantly shuts his eyes and tilts his head backward and begins to feel himself. With an impatient bead of stickiness already at his tip he palms the head and strokes downward. Pumping himself he releases a hiss at the thought of Hinata. Her soft as silk skin, her heavy breaths she takes when he's deep within her, the way her hair hangs down at the sides of her face when she rides him. His thoughts so submerged with her, he can't hear the click of the door handle. His eyes shut and he grinds his teeth as his hand quickens. Suddenly his eyes jolt open as he feels the softness of a hand on top of his own.
"Hinata…" He says breathily as he looks at her. She stares at him intently and quickly looks down. Removing his hand from his shaft she takes hold of his slippery self. She begins with long strokes continuously pumping up and down. Sasuke braces himself, both hands clenching onto the ledge of the sink counter. His head hangs down in pleasure; eyes clenched shut as he resists bucking into her hand. He lets out a sudden hiss as an overwhelming sensation captivates him. With one eye open and the other closed due to the intense feeling; he sees it. The veins around Hinata's eyes, her byakugan activated. Her stroking stops and her fingertips trace his shaft upward. Instinctively Sasuke's eyes shut again; he grits his teeth and lets out an unexpected grunt. His mouth agape he struggles to take in a clear breath. Hinata continues to touch him in all the right places while her body slowly begins to near his. Sasuke looks at her with hooded eyes as he can feel her hot and heavy breath on his chest.
"You…don't have to…" Sasuke says breathily. Hinata shakes her head lightly. "Its fine I want to…" she says under her heavy breath.
"But…" Sasuke says clenching the counter ledge even harder as she massages the tip of his member.
"She left…shh…" Hinata shifts closer, her chest gently pressed against him.
With those words Sasuke quickly reaches for the belt of her yukata and unties it with one hand. With her large swollen breasts pressed against him he places his hand behind her head and pushes her lips against his. Her hand struggles to continue as their bodies ram against each other. Her eyes shut she feels the force of his tongue break into her mouth. It was sloppy and unromantic. A kiss driven by hunger made her shake in the knees. Pulling away he looks at her with wet lips, they stare at each other intently while both gasping for air. With her byakugan fading away she rests herself against Sasuke and places her cheek flush against his chest.
"I'm sorry…"She whimpers sadly in a quiet tone. "I know I've been neglecting this…" Before finishing her sentence Sasuke captures her lips once more, this time much more gently. His tongue caresses hers and their lips smack when they part.
In an instant they shift themselves into the bedroom and Hinata finds herself lying down at the edge of the bed with an impatient Sasuke hovering carefully over her.
"Agh…" Sasuke lets out a grunt and he rubs his member against her slick lower lips. Quivering Hinata clenches the sheets at her sides. She bites her lips and hums as his tip readies itself at her opening. Thrusting slowly he feels her walls expand and contract around him. A sensation he hadn't felt in a long time. Letting out a shrill squeal Hinata shivers in delight, her mouth open her voice quivers as she clenches her teeth. She instantaneously clamps down on him hard, as if to not let him go in any deeper. She takes a shaky breath and relaxes herself, letting him ease into her. He hovers over her for a moment, basking in the feeling of being inside her after a long time. He leans in gently and laps his tongue over her swollen breast.
"Mm." Hinata squirms at the feel of his tongue on her sensitive nipples. He palms her breast with one hand while holding himself above her with the other. Slowly he begins to move and he raises himself up. Placing his hands gently on her knees he thrusts continuously into her. His heated gaze concentrates on her breasts as they move in motion with his movements.
"Sasu…" Hinata squeaks as she turns her head to the side, her back arching slightly, her walls clamping down on him hard. Ignoring her call, he continues his thrusting. With multiple short bursts he causes her to cry out loud in ecstasy. He stills in her, allowing her to complete her moment of release. His member still hard and full he exits her slowly. Looking at him with sorry eyes, Hinata breathes heavily while glancing at his active member. With a smack of her lips she shuts her eyes for a moment and feels him taking hold of her legs. With her legs together he raises them up, holding them over his shoulder he slips his member in between her legs and against her wet self. He thrusts quickly; no holds barred. Loud smacking noises echo in the large room. With her hardened clitoris continuously being ravished upon, Hinata moans uncontrollably. With her hands now cupping her large breasts she looks up to the ceiling amazed.
"Eungh…"Sasuke thrusts strongly. "Hinata…" His fingers dig into her skin as his climax draws nearer. With a low growl he releases himself unto her and multiple short bursts follow as he empties himself completely.
000000000000000000000000000000
Sakura sits in her office, overlooking paperwork that Shizune had dropped off for her earlier that morning. With her legs crossed and her hair tied up she reads diligently through the pages. A knock comes at her door and she answers while continuing to read. "Come in."
With a creak of the door Sakura glances up quickly and smiles. "Hi." She looks back down at her papers and marks something down.
"Busy today?" Naruto says boisterously as he takes the chair behind Sakura and rolls it to her side. Sitting down he peers over at paper she's reading.
"No, not too busy. Just overlooking some paper work." Sakura says sweetly. "I'll be done in a couple hours." Again she marks something down in a paper and flips it to the back.
"Hmm…I see." Naruto leans back in his chair and clasps his hands together on the back of his head. "I thought we could go out for some late lunch…that is, if you haven't eaten yet." He says with a blush.
"Yeah, let's do that." Sakura looks up at Naruto and smiles. "I'll come to your office after I'm done here, but…can you wait?" Sakura raises an eyebrow teasingly at him.
"Of course I can wait." Naruto grins happily; his stomach growls and Sakura laughs. "I can wait! Really, I can." He says quickly.
With one last chuckle Sakura shakes her head and looks down at her papers once again. "Ichiraku again?"
Naruto shifts in his seat and leans to one side; "Well, we don't have to. We did have it last time…"
"Let's do Ichiraku ramen." Sakura says while flipping a page of stapled paper work.
"Really?! I mean…" Naruto clears his throat. "We could go for something else; you don't have to worry about me."
With a giggle Sakura marks something down on the paper with her pen. "Ichiraku ramen is fine."
Naruto gets up from his seat and leans in to Sakura. "Really!?" He raises an eyebrow. Sakura raises her head and looks at him, their noses only a hairs length away from each other. "Really, Ichiraku is fine." She says adamantly. Quickly Naruto pecks her on the lips and grins as he pulls away. "You really are the best!"
Her eyes wide at his sudden kiss she blushes and quickly changes the look of surprise on her face to a cold one. "Yeah, yeah. I'll see you later." She says embarrassed.
With a grin Naruto opens the door. "I'll wait, I won't even snack! I promise!"
Sakura chuckles at his childish nature and looks back down at her paperwork as Naruto leaves. The door clicks shut and she sighs with a smile on her face. After an hour, Sakura gathers the papers and organizes them; placing them into a folder and putting it aside. Standing up, she pushes her chair back and it rolls away behind her. Looking at her watch she decides to go meet with Naruto earlier than planned. Taking off her doctor's coat she drapes it on the back of her chair.
A knock comes at her door and she pushes her chair into her desk. Having made her way over to the door she opens it, cutting off a knock half way.
"Oh…" Temari stands on the other side of the door with a handful of documents.
"Oh, right." Sakura looks at the files in the blonde's hands. "Uhm…"Sakura hesitates, looks at her watch and back again at Temari. "Those are the medical reports from Shikamaru's last mission right?" She asks in a rushed tone.
"Yeah." Temari hands the documents to Sakura and crooks her eyebrow at the pink haired woman. "Everything alright?"
"Ah, yeah. Everything's fine. I was just about to leave but I'll take a quick look at these first." Sakura takes the documents and returns to her desk, leaving Temari standing in the hallway. Pulling out her chair Sakura calls out to Temari. "Thanks for dropping these off."
"No problem." Temari say nicely. Turning around to take her leave she pauses and looks over her shoulder. "Hey." She says curiously.
"Mhm?" Sitting in her chair Sakura looks up at Temari.
"Are you busy tomorrow?" The blonde turns around and leans against the doorway.
"No, it's my day off. Why?" Sakura places her pen near her chin.
Perking up Temari asks, "Did you want to go out with me and Ino tomorrow? I mean, we're going to go shopping tomorrow and I would appreciate some of your guidance…That's only if you're willing."
A smile creeps up on Sakura's face and she answers sweetly. "Sure, I'd like that. What time were you thinking?"
"Probably around late noon; we'll meet at Ino's, and then head out from there."
"Okay, yeah I'll see you tomorrow then." Sakura smiles and watches as Temari turn's around. Looking up from her desk Sakura perks up and calls out to Temari before she leaves. "What…exactly are you shopping for?"
Looking over her shoulder Temari answers,"Oh, just a gift for Hinata's baby shower. I thought it would be good to ask you to come along since you've known her much longer than I have."
"Oh…" Sakura's face stiffens and she smiles awkwardly at Temari. "Okay. Well…See you tomorrow then."
"See you tomorrow~" Temari turns around and leaves.
000000000000000000000000000000
"Mmm…" Hinata mews in thanks as the maid takes away the empty bowl in front of her. With her mouth full of her last bite she smiles sweetly at Sasuke. They had just finished eating their late lunch, a simple beef donburi; of which Hinata ate two bowls deliciously. After swallowing Hinata perks up and leans into the table.
"So, my baby shower is going to be next week." Hinata says while reaching for her glass of water.
"So soon?" Sasuke replies as he gets up from his seat.
"Yeah, I decided to go with an earlier date. It'll be next Friday." Hinata says after taking a large gulp of water. She takes her leave from the table and walks past Sasuke in the living area. Sasuke reaches for a small pile of paper work he placed on the side table in the living area earlier. Sitting down on the couch and reading the papers in his hand he hears a door open and looks up. Hinata was standing in the open doorway of one of the guestrooms. It was the very same guestroom she had stayed in after fainting in front of Sasuke long ago. The brightness from outside shone through the curtains and dust danced around the unused room in the light.
"This will make a good room for her…him…right?" Hinata asks as she looks over her shoulder at Sasuke.
Looking at his paperwork Sasuke replies nonchalantly, "Sure."
Hinata pouts at his uncaring answer and walks into the room. Opening the curtains a waft of collected dust looms around her. Coughing hysterically, she shakes her head while covering her mouth. Hearing her sudden struggle Sasuke gets up from his seat and goes to her with quickness.
"Hinata." He enters the room and sees her standing in the center of a dust cloud.
"I…I'm okay…" She says as she backs out of the cloudy area. Sasuke takes a deep breath and rushes to the window. Opening it, the majority of the dust goes outside.
"Are you sure you're alright?" He asks her while speaking behind his forearm. He lets out a small cough and takes a seat next to Hinata on the bed. Clearing her throat Hinata giggles and looks at Sasuke. "I'm fine, honest." She sees his tense shoulders relax as he looks around the room.
"Just needs a little cleaning up and it'll be perfect." Hinata says happily as she lays gently onto her back. Sasuke looks down at her with a thin smile on his face. "You're really set on this room huh?"
"Mhmm." Hinata shuts her eyes and hums happily, turning her head to the side.
"Ah…" Sasuke falls back and looks at Hinata. "Okay…shall I get started on cleaning it up then?" Turning her head, she faces Sasuke with a large grin. "Right now?"
"Why not?" Sasuke says as he turns onto his side. With a small squeal Hinata's eyes curve cutely as she giggles. Sasuke kisses her smiling lips and pulls away as he gets up from the bed. "I'll go get some cleaning supplies."
Humming to herself as she walks through the front door with a bag full of groceries, the maid notices that the guest room door is open. Peeking inside the doorway she sees Sasuke and Hinata happily tidying up the room. Sneaking away quietly she smiles to herself and goes off to prepare dinner.
"Agh…" Hinata sighs and takes a seat on the bed.
"Tired?" Sasuke asks, looking over his shoulder at her as he dusted. "Mhm. Just a little bit." Hinata said placing a hand behind her neck.
"Go rest, there's not much left to do; I'll handle the rest." Sasuke says as he reaches higher with a duster in hand.
"You sure?" Hinata asks apologetically. "Quite sure." Sasuke says while climbing down his step stool. Walking towards her Sasuke places his hands at her sides and leans in. "Go rest." With a thin and thankful smile Hinata perks up and kisses him on his cheek. "Okay." Walking away Hinata turns to look over her shoulder. "You're still off tomorrow, right?"
Wiping down the nightstand, Sasuke looks at her. "Yeah."
"Let's go out shopping." Hinata says with an excited voice. Not able to resist her charm, Sasuke reluctantly agrees. "Sure."
