Hinata sat in her living room one Saturday morning, with Mikaiyo beside her in his carrier. She was reading her dairy which she had just updated. She started reading from when Mikaiyo was born
Feb 27
Mikiayo was born yesterday. I still can't exactly wrap my mind around what has happened. First, Mikaiyo was born during the attack of Rokubi no Raijuu. Since Naruto is the Hokage, he had to sacrifice himself to save the village and seal the spirit of the demon into Mikaiyo. We thought we had lost Naruto, but the Kyuubi's chakra helped him out. He won't be out of the hospital for a few days, but I don't care. He's alive.
March 11,
Naruto and Mikaiyo were let out of the hospital a week ago. I would take the time to write about other things, but compared to this, they are nothing. I was at the Hyuuga compound today, enjoying some tea with Father and Neji while getting some things done about making Neji clan leader since I am married to Naruto. It was really nice. I brought Mikaiyo so father could see him. He absolutely loved his new grandson. But right as I was about to leave, we were attacked out of no where. The attackers wanted Mikaiyo's life. I hide him inside until I had to fight off an enemy that had followed us. Mikaiyo started to get angry and demonic chakra came out of his body, along with a tail and fox/weasel ears. Naruto came in and killed the man. Later that night,the council called us in. They practically demanded that we give up Mikaiyo. But Naruto would not have it. He had been there, and gave the councilors such a scare they were trembling.
March 13,
I was right; the councilors are absolutely terrified of Naruto now. I hope they realize how awful they were. Mikaiyo's ear and tail have disappeared. It was starting to worry us. I'm planning to meet Sakura and Ino at the coffee shop soon. They both said they have something important to say.
Hinata decided to leave it there for now and get going. She picked up Mikaiyo in his carrier and headed out the door.
When she got there, she quickly found Sakura sitting in the back near the window. Sakura waved Hinata over and sat down with her.
"Where's Ino?" Hinata asked setting Mikaiyo down beside her as she sat down
"She should be here soon. Wait, there she is!" Sakura pointed out the window. Ino was was running toward the restaurant. She burst through the doors and ran over to Sakura and Hinata.
"Oh My God, I have great news!" she exclaimed
"Me too!" Sakura exclaimed
"You first!" they said at the same time just like the following
"No you first!"
"Okay, I can't hold it in!"
"I'm having a baby!"
Sakura and Ino looked at each other
"Oh my god!" they said while they hugged each other,
"You guys sound like high school girls." Hinata smiled,
Sakura and Ino sat down.
"Omg! This is perfect! All of our babies are going to be around the same age! We can do play dates and if they want to be ninjas then they'll be in the same class and, and-"
"Ino! Slow down!" Sakura laughed
"I can't help it! I'm soo excited!" Ino exclaimed
"Oh you won't be thinking about that soon." Hinata mumbled, taking a sip of her cappuccino.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked
"Oh nothing." Hinata tried to suppress a giggle
"No, tell us." Ino said
"I'm just saying, remember what I was like when I was pregnant?" Hinata asked
Ino and Sakura stiffened. Oh they remembered alright. The morning sickness, the mood swings, the cravings. Oh what fun this is going to be.
"Oh god." Ino said face palming herself.
"Hey, it's really not that bad. Just take it easy on Shikamaru and Sasuke. Remember, they're going to be trying their bests." Hinata said
"Right, anyway I've got to get going. Lazy butt is teaching today so I'm making dinner." Ino said as she left.
"Yeah, I have to go too. See ya later Hinata!" Sakura said, following Ino.
Hinata looked confused. They didn't stay for even 5 minutes. She thought. Hinata looked down at Mikaiyo who was snuggling his blanket. "Looks like we've been ditched." She laughed.
Mikaiyo gurgled in response. Hinata smiled and picked his carrier. She left some money on the table and left.

Sakura walked into the Uchiha compound. It felt weird saying that this was her home now. She remembered when she was a little girl, she had always dreamed that she would live here. But after all the things that had happened, she had completely lost hope in that dream. And when Sasuke came back, it was like a little part of that dream came back. Now here she was, with the key to the front gate.
As she was thinking about this, she walked inside her house and plopped down on the couch. It was pretty quiet. But not the 'something is wrong' quiet. It was peaceful. Sakura sensed another presense in the house. She knew exactly who it was. Sasuke snuck up from behind and sat down next to her.
"If you were trying to surprise me, you didn't mask your chakra well enough." She smiled
"Well, I'm not exactly on enemy lines am I?" He said wrapping an arm around her.
"Not yet you aren't." Sakura laughed
Sasuke looked down at the tiny growing bump on her stomach. It's been two months already, he couldn't help but stare. Sakura noticed this and smiled slightly. She took Sasuke's hand and placed it on her baby bump. Sasuke ACTUALLY smiled. Not just his usual smirk, but a full out smile. Not exactly something you see from Sasuke a lot. But it didn't last long, as it faded into a frown.
"What's the matter Sasuke?' Sakura asked
Sasuke sighed. "I don't deserve this." He said
"Of course you do!" she said.
"No. I don't. Sakura, I haven't exactly lived my life to the fullest. I spent most of it bent on revenge and pushing away everyone around me. I betrayed everyone to go to Orochimaru. I tried to destroy the village. It's not exactly something to be proud of." He said
Sakura looked him in the eyes. "And you've more than paid for what you've done. You deserve this." She smiled
Sasuke sighed then looked at his hand on Sakura's baby bump. He looked back up and kissed her on the lips. "Thanks." He said when they broke apart. "I'm going to bed. You coming?" Sasuke asked, getting up.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a second." Sakura said

Sasuke walked down the street, toward his home. He had just been… where was he again? Sasuke started to wonder what he had done before this. His hands in his pockets, he continued down the street. A full moon stood just over a telephone line, almost as if it was taunting him, reminding him of that night. He stopped for a second to look at that familiar scene. And that's when he realized something was wrong. He quickly looked over at his house.
"Why aren't the lights on?" he asked himself. "Whoa, Deja-vu… wait…" Sasuke didn't waste anytime, he bolted towards his house, but the faster he ran the further away it got. He started to panic. When he finally got to the front porch, he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Why can't I move?" he asked, trying to move his hands to the handle of the door. "Come on Sasuke, Move. MOVE!" His hand shakily reached for the door. He slowly opened it. All the lights were out. "Maybe she's just asleep." He said to himself. But something told him that was wrong. It was far to cold in there to sleep. Almost, deadly cold, the air was dry and stale. Sasuke looked around for any sign she was there. Something told him to go into the room where it happened . Something moved him toward it although he was inwardly screaming not to go. But he continued and slowly opened the door. He peered inside then burst the door open. The light outside was casting a red glow through the window and onto the floor. But that's not what caught his eye. It was the pink haired woman that laid in its glow. He prayed to god a thousand times over that it wasn't Sakura. But could you name any other pink haired women in Konoha? He stood frozen for about a billionth of a second more before bolting towards the body.
"SAKURA!" He screamed. He turned the body over to see her beautiful face covered in blood.
"No! NO! Sakura No! PLEASE!" he screamed shaking her, hoping she would wake up, he heard her moan in pain.
"Sakura stay awake!" He ordered
From the shadows a man appeared. Madara was standing over him, no mask but what he did have was a blood stained knife.
"Kukukukuku….. It's too late now Sasuke. Did you really think I would just let you go back to Konoha all scott free? This is the price you pay."
All of the sudden, Madara had Sakura with a knife to her throat. Sasuke was chained to the ground.
"No! Kill me! Leave her!" Sasuke begged.
Madara slashed though her.
"SAKURAAA!!" Sasuke sat upright in bed screaming Sakura's name.
"Sasuke! What's going on?!" Sakura asked, as she was woken up by the screaming.
Sasuke looked around the room. Now he remembered. He was in his bedroom. He panted and was sweating from the worst nightmare he ever had.
"Sasuke are you okay?" Sakura asked
"I…. it was….. you….. and…. He" Sasuke stuttered
"Sasuke…." Sakura was starting to get worried
Sasuke looked at her. "Nothing. It was just a nightmare." He said
"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked
"No, it's okay. You go back to sleep, I'm going to get some water." He said, getting up from bed and walking into the bathroom.
As he splashed water onto his face he realized what the dream meant. It didn't mean he was afraid of Madara killing Sakura and the baby, it meant he was afraid something happening to his family in general. He didn't realize that becoming a father was so scary. When he decided he had calmed down, he walked back over and got into bed. Sakura was asleep again now. Sasuke reached over and placed his hand on her bump. And put his head close.
"Don't give your mom a hard time now. This is going to be really hard for her." He whispered "I want you to know, I'm going to protect you and her with everything I have." Sasuke slowly fell asleep with his arms around his wife and his baby. Oh and no more nightmares.
YYYAAA!! I think that might be one of the fluffiest chapters so far!! Oh and did I scare you during the scene? You really though Madara had killed Sakura didn't you? Well, anyway, if you have any suggestions let me know! Review time!
