Part two….

Much to her dismay, the female Uchiha's husband stayed true to his word and did not return home that night.

Hinata spent the nearly sleepless night tossing and turning because every time she closed her eyes all she could see were his dark eyes that spilt second that his mask dropped.

The same loving eyes that had gave her strength now shined with doubt.

The ebony-eyes that gave her courage were now full of an unknown fear.

Those eyes haunted her.

Hinata rose before the sun and sat down to drink a cup of tea, hoping that it would help calm her nerves and plan her day.

If she ever wanted to understand what she clearly saw in her loves eyes then she would need to buy the necessary item for her plan/operation to be successful- sake.

She would also need to get something for dinner as well, but before she could begin her supply shopping she had to work the morning shift at the hospital.

She groaned. Today was one of the few days that she dreaded going in for her shift, but she hoped that they would be busy, so that she would have time to dwell about last night too much but the hours dragged and they were extremely slow, which left her with too much time allowing her thoughts to roam about.

After her shift was over she headed over to Akari's market store so that she could purchase the ingredients for tonight's dinner and the sake that she needed. About eight would do, normally seven was the magic number but she always bought an extra one just in case.

While walking to their apartment with her groceries in tow, Hinata suddenly realized that she didn't even know were Sasuke was; what if he didn't come home today at all?

Where did he sleep last night? Did he stay with the Naruto last night? What if sasuke ended up sleeping on a park bench last night because he couldn't stand to be with her?

Hinata shook her head, she needed a cup of tea when she got home, it would help sooth her nerves, and her imagination was running to wild.

When she got home, she was met with a surprise there sitting on the sofa was the object of her imagination, Sasuke.

She sighed with relief at knowing that nothing horrible happened to him, and yet at the same time when he looked up she felt a pang of pain in her chest, he's 'perfect' mask was in place.

So be it, let the operation begin, Hinata slowly walked into the kitchen and returned with a cup and a bottle of the sake, "Sasuke, I'm about to start dinner would like some sake, while you wait?" she asked as she filled the cup and placed it in front of him.

"Hn…" was all she got out of him,

She forced a small smile "Alright, I'll just leave it right her for you."

And with that she walked into the kitchen and started to cook their dinner, now it was just a matter of time.

It was now after dinner and he was on he's third bottle. "Sasuke, honey would you like a refill?" she asked.

"Hn"

Her planned had worked, her husband was now at that point. She smiled sweetly and lovingly towards her swaying-sitting husband. "Sasuke-kun, would you like more sake?" Hinata asked as she held the seventh bottle up and started to slowly pour it in his cup.

"Hn… Hinata… I think…that… enough anymore… you'll have… me to bed." Said swaying man slurred. (A/n: what Sasuke thought he said…Hn, Hinata I think that that's enough for me; anymore and then you'll have to carry me to bed"!)

She smiled again to herself.

This was it her operation was nearly over, it was said that a good shinobi or kunoichi knew when to strike their opponents.

And Hinata was a damn good kunoichi.

"Hmmm…alright Sasuke-kun how about one more glass then let us retire for the night."

Sasuke ungracefully nodded his head in agreement and then gave a lopsided smirk to her.

Hinata had finished pouring herself the last of her tea when she noticed her husband apprehension as he fumbled for his cup.

Hinata absently started to rub her stomach as she stir her tea, "You know my love we been so busy that we've never had a chance to talk about names for our children. I was thinking that if they are girls then we could name them after your mother and my sister however if they turn out to be sons then I was thinking that…"

"Hinata, we need to talk", Sasuke pleaded in a whisper. She stopped stirring her tea, this was a little unexpected normally it took more to get him to talk.

"I'm scared; I don't know…what if…what if…I don't want to…but what if I do…what if what happened with him happens again…I couldn't live with myself. I…I..." Sasuke then stopped his rambling, squeezed his eyes shut and silently shook.

For the second time this week Hinata was shocked and frightened, she didn't know what to think. What had happened, what in under all the heavens had one of Konoha's top shinobi, Uchiha Sasuke this frightened and pained?

Hinata silently made her way to her quavering husband and wrapped her arms protectively around him. She found herself desperate to shield him from this pain and sorrow, willing it into herself so that he wouldn't hurt anymore, even though she didn't quite understand what he was murmuring about earlier, she want him to know that she would never leave him, that she would always stand by his side in thick and thin, till her last dieing breathe.

Hinata frantically wanted to show Sasuke that with out him by her side she would be half the person that she was today, simply because he completed her.

As she sat there holding him, she felt her sleeve getting wet.

His was crying, soundlessly and for her it was earth shattering but she refused to let her tears flow, she would be his anchor this time as he had done so many times for her.

Time seemed to have slowed, for the Uchiha's; a single minute felt like an hour to Hinata and her back started to ache, as she silently prayed for Sasuke's pain to heal.

After about twenty minutes she noticed that Sasuke's breathe was slow and composed, she sighed with relief, he was asleep. As she sat still tightly, lovingly holding him, she gently brushed his bangs aside to look into her husband's sleeping face, and she smiled, he always looked so calm and peaceful.

Hinata exhaled slowly, this was not the way her plan was supposed to go, of course when dealing with her husband nothing seemed to go as planned, she then thought back to his ramblings before he's complete break-down.

Sasuke had said something about a- him, who was this him was it Itachi, but he was dead, what would he have to do with the children? And Sasuke was scared of what happening again.

Hinata sighed again, she didn't understand.

As she looked back at her husband, she noticed ebony eyes attentively watching her.

"Sasu-…" she began.

"No, Hinata…please I'm sorry," Sasuke's hoarse voice was barely a whisper.

Hinata hushed him by gently placing her fingers over his lips, "No Sasuke, you need to tell me what is wrong, so that I can understand, I want you to tell me so that I can help you, and if this thing that you don't want happening again has anything to do with us, with our family, the Uchiha clan, then I need to know, now!" she didn't mean for it to sound as harsh as it did but she was distressed, sore and tired.

She watched as her husband slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breathe and then hesitantly began, "Hinata, I love you more than anything under these blue skies, I want you to know that, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, watching our children grow and if the heavens allowed it, watching their children grow, but what I'm afraid of is… what if it happens again? What if our children are 'geniuses?' or what if only one of our children is a 'genius'?" Sasuke paused as he opened his eyes staring off into the distance.

"I know what will happen," he then continued, "I will push that child harder then the other, I'll expect more out of him or her, I'll isolate one because they're gifted and I'll end up isolating the other because they're not? I don't want to be my father, I don't want another him, I don't want what happened to my family to happen to you and our children but this is all that I know; this is how I am, and will…"

Hinata finally understood, why he had he's doubts and what he was afraid of, and she smiled softly at him as she silence him by running her thumb gently down the side of his face, "Sshh," she traced his face again, " you are not your father and our children are not going to be like him, and if one or both of them happen to be 'gifted' or not then we will love them just the same, I will always be here by your side to remind you everyday, I will lend you strength, be there to guide you and protect you as you have for me. You have nothing to fear I will be here by your side until the end of time."

As she looked in the dark depth of his eyes she saw the fear and doubt disappear to give way for love and adoration, the look that she loved receiving.

Hinata suddenly felt him leave her arms, and then he helped her up from the floor. Yeah she was definitely going to be extremely sore in the morning, she thought as she stretched. She still needed to clear the table.

"Leave it for now, Hina" Sasuke said as he wrapped his arms around Hinata and turned her gently towards the bedroom, "I'll clear if off tomorrow morning".

She nodded her head and then yawned. It had definitely been a long, tiring day and she was ready for a good night's sleep but there was one more thing that Hinata had to know.

"Ano, Sasuke there is one thing that I was wondering about?"

"Hn…alright". Sasuke then closed the bedroom door and walked over to Hinata and pulled her into a hug. "It's about last night, I was just wondering were you slept, I know that it wasn't at Naruto's and Sakura's…" she trailed off laying her head on his shoulder, while picking at the imaginary lent on his sleeve.

"Hmm…I stayed in the Uchiha Manor, in my parents' house, I needed to think, to get away. But now that I think about it, we'll need more room once the babies get here and I was thinking that we could move there, but only if you want, my love.

"I think that's a wonderful ideal", Hinata chuckled softly then pulled the man she loved into a kiss.
