An Uchiha's Fear

She remembered the day that she had found out that she was pregnant Hinata was impatient and couldn't wait to tell Sasuke. After her morning shift at the hospital was over she took to the rooftops, to avoid the evening crowds, she wanted to make it home before him. After about five minutes of leaping she finally made it to their small cozy apartment that they called home.

Even though she only had to wait for a few minutes, she recalled how it felt like an eternity before he came home and then another eternity for her to sputter out her news. After her news she can still recall the looks of shock, panic, and then delight that graced her husband's face and even though anyone else other than maybe his old teammates would have just seen his smirk.

She remembers smiling at that sight; she knew that he had always wanted a family.

That was months ago and now she sighed, she just found out that they were having twins the other day; she was in high spirits when she came home and broke the grand news to him; however what happened next she was not expecting.

Sasuke's eyes darken with an emotion and before she could give it a name, his perfect emotionless mask fell into place then he abruptly stood up and made his way over to the front door.

He was leaving.

She was shocked

He told her that there was something that he forgot to do for Naruto, his mask fell briefly allowing the suppressed emotion to flash, while he turned to look at her and told her not to wait up for him, then silently walked out the door leaving her alone.

She was upset and confused that he suddenly left her here alone after sharing what she thought was wonderful news, but it was the emotion that she saw that broke her heart.

It was doubt and fear mixed together that she saw in his eyes.

Why was the Uchiha Sasuke afraid?

And what was it that he had doubts about?

Did it have something to do with her being pregnant?

Maybe it had something to do with the babies?

What if he didn't want them or her anymore?

Her world was turned upside down in a span of a few minutes, everything was crumbling before her eyes, and

Trying to get Sasuke to talk about his feelings was just like trying to keep Naruto away from big bowl of steaming hot… free ramen.

It was nearly impossible; he was never one to discuss such things with anyone, but then again Hinata was not just anyone, she was not only Uchiha Hinata his wife, and lover; before that she was one of his closest friends.

After years of being his friend she manage to learn a few tricks to get the stoic ice prince to speak openly; the secret of her success- sake.

Of course her husband was not a "light weight" it always took a lot to get said ice prince to speak about such things. And it wasn't just the sake- no she had to have the right ambiance and timing.

Everything had to be perfect in order for this to work, everything...
