"Hmn, do I see concern there!?" the kyuubi has sensed him. He ignored him but made a jump when he heard a loud thud. Hinata was on the floor getting paler. He scooped her up and made a run into the hospital.
A while later you could see a frantic Naruto walking to and fro the hospital corridor. "What might happen to her? Did I overdo showing my dislike on her? Shit! I should have considered her fragile state. She was always fainting on me, why didn't I think of that before."
"Oh there's nothing to worry about. Hinata is Ok…" said a smiling Tsunade. She could see the worry etched onto the young shinobi's face. "Oh Naruto this should be a time of celebrating!!"
This only altered the worry on his face by confusion. "What do you mean Baa-chan?"
"Congratulations Naruto! You're going to be a father!!" Sakura said excitedly.
Naruto was shocked but then a wave of warm feeling enveloped him. He feels so happy he wanted to shout, and so he did! "I'm going to be a father! Woooohoooo!" he was really happy. He could have the family that he had always sought, a family that he could say his very own.
"Hey, calm down or I'll have to throw out of the hospital. I'm going to prescribe Hinata with some medicine and vitamins for the baby. And then you could take her home to rest. Hope you make her drink it everyday." Tsunade said.
"Ok", he was still astounded with the news, but he was indeed happy about it.
"But what about Hinata, would this change the things between you now?" at the back of his mind he heard the kyuubi say.
"No, I still don't want to be with her. All I care about is our child" he retorted defiantly.
"Are you sure?" the kyuubi insisted.
He really wanted this two to make up now. He had committed the same mistakes before as Naruto is committing now. He also treated his mate the same way Naruto treated his wife. He could still remember his mate's action as she did nothing but serve him. Until one day she got fed up and left him. Oh! He could still remember that day. That was the same day he recognized his love for her. It was the same day he was sealed inside this kid because he came upon Konoha, trashing everything and madly looking for his mate.
"Yeah, I'm very sure. But don't worry, I'll be considerate on her from now on", Naruto said. The kyuubi smiled, hoping the best for his container.
Naruto bought the prescription and merrily went back to Hinata to take her home. But before he could pay the bill and all, Tsunade called him and asked for some talk.
"What do you want to talk about Baa-chan", he was literally bouncing all around the place because of happiness that he thought before was not possible.
"Well, it's about Hinata… You see, I fully understand that you're still angry about her because of what she did but I suggest for you to be more considerate of her from now on. I don't want her condition to lead into miscarriage and I'm sure you don't want that also…" she talked slowly as if she was explaining to a child.
"Of course I know that! You don't have to tell me", he said almost yelling at her, trying to hide the embarrassment of being told on what to do and the fact that she was suggesting that something bad will happen to his child.
"Well that's all… You could now take Hinata home." And with that they both parted ways.

Hinata was kind of feeling weird around Naruto, he was acting like a lunatic… for a moment there she wanted to be away from him. But she was glad that he was happy. He was like himself again back in their academy days, which where long forgotten considering he's the Anbu captain now. She was more stunned when she saw Naruto piling her stuff in her room. Is she going to be kicked out of the house just because she's pregnant?
"Um, Ano, Where are you taking my stuff, are you going to kick me out of the house?" she couldn't help but to voice her query.
"You're going to sleep in my room from now on so I could take a better look at you" her jaws dropped when she heard Naruto's reply. She couldn't think straight so she let herself be carried with the flow. She carried and placed most of her belongings in Naruto's room. She shoved his uniform to one side of the locker, careful not to ruin its neat placement. She then went to his bed to place her over sized teddy bear in the center. Panic seemed to overshadow her face because the said teddy is now completely occupying the said bed. Well I guess almost… now that wont do because the instant that Naruto entered the room,
"What is that?" he said which gave her a start.
"Um, ano, I can't seem to sleep without it" she reasoned out.
"I'm not sleeping with that thing" and with that he went to the bed and shoved the stuffed animal to the side of bed. "You could imagine me as the bear" he said and left the room not allowing her to see the slight blush on his face.
"Oh no, what am I going to do?" she just trailed on with distress on the situation but there was a slight excitement within her heart. She was restless most of the afternoon and when the time comes for them to go to sleep, Hinata was ecstatic…"here it goes" she thought.
She lay with her back facing Naruto, fumbling nervously onto the bear's ear, for now it sits right next to her beside the bed. She heard Naruto softly snoring and she can't help but smile. She was so close to Naruto that she can feel butterflies in her stomach.
"Now, how am I going to sleep?" she writhed beneath the bed trying to find sleep but to no avail.
"Stop wriggling Hinata" she heard Naruto said as he wrapped his arms around her belly preventing her any form of motion.
"Will this ever be any worst" she let out an exasperated sigh and tried to focus on sleeping, with a swift motion she ended up gazing at her beloved.
"How can you sleep so soundly Naruto-kun, you always tell me right to my face that you don't love me but how come you have no difficulty in embracing me" she let her fingers trace the features of Naruto, loving the feeling of freedom that she could only have whenever he's asleep…
After feeling cozy in Naruto's arms for a moment, it's as if she had no problem sleeping a while earlier.

Naruto have not thought of his situation now with Hinata in his bed. It's been a week since he forced her to sleep in his room. She was fast asleep and he, the idiot that he is, is still staring at her. He couldn't help himself. He just can't sleep knowing she was near him.
"What are you talking about; it's not as if you love her! Oh man! Sleeeeeeep"he begged himself.
"You're in love kid! Accept it" the kyuubi cheered, thinking about the platters of bacon that Hinata will cook for him if Naruto and Hinata will stay together.
"No I'm not" he retorted, saying it more to himself than the Kyuubi.
But why is he enjoying this. Why does he keep his protective arms around Hinata? Ah, he doesn't want to think anymore. He doesn't love her and never will. It's just because of the baby… (But the Kyuubi knows otherwise). He can't seem to stop himself from clinging onto her as he unconsciously pressed his face onto Hinata's hair.
"She smelled of lilac and lavender" he thought as he inhaled. He tightened his grip around her, and just like every other night since Hinata slept with him, he fell sound asleep.
Hinata stirred in her sleep. Even in her sleep she can't help feeling Naruto beside her. Her subconscious mind knows that this is not forever so better take the best of it while it last. She placed her arms around Naruto's waist and buried her face onto his chest.

It was a bliss as time passed by and she was thinking that maybe, maybe this would turn out to be what Sakura had planned. She continued on her tasks, which is to make Naruto fall for her. Serving him was practically her ultimate goal everyday. He was somehow tolerant of her presence now, thank God!
Oh! She can't stop dreaming that she and Naruto would live happily for he would eventually love her.
She decided to go to Sakura to personally thank her for her marvelous plan. She dropped by to Ino's flower shop to get her beloved friend some token of appreciation only to be surprised by a little scene that unfolded in front of her…
Naruto did not plan on falling for Hinata. But he just did and he doesn't like it. It's as if he's cheating on Sakura, with his wife that is.
(A/N: how dumb can you get Naruto! You can't cheat Sakura with your wife; it should be the other way around.)
But that's what he feels right now. He still loves Sakura-chan, that he was sure of, or maybe not. He was too confused. "Maybe if I confess to Sakura I will forget this feeling I have for Hinata…"
"Sakura can I have a moment, I have something to tell you." Naruto said when he approached Sakura on the nurse's station.
"What about Naruto?" she heard no reply but she followed the blond shinobi.
