Three weeks later, spring had arrived in the Land of Snow. The group had finally decided Midori could stay with them, so long as she stayed out of the fighting. Choji had finally dicded to forget the incident when they first discovered Midori hitchhiking.

We now see Midori playing with Akamaru,rubbing his belly ,and letting him lick her face in the fields, Shikamaru and Neji think up a strategy on how to beat the enemy, Choji was snacking on pork flavored chips, Kiba was training his nose improving his sense of smell ,and Naruto was on top of a building looking over the beautiful land.

He them remembered that he had to send over a shadow clone to check up on Hinata, so he made a hand sign, and began to shout "Shadow Clone Jutsu" ,and out appeared a clone of Naruto, then Naruto tells it to go back to the hidden leaf ,and keep an eye on her ,without letting her see him .

He then solutes the clone ,and it solutes back before leaving, "I hope your OK Hinata ,I sure do miss you"Naruto said.

Meanwhile back at the leaf in Naruto's house, Hinata finally calms down about Naruto's absence, and is now making strawberry based deserts ,strawberry daifuku ,strawberry's with whipped cream to dip in, strawberry yogurt you name it.

She is now1 month pregnant now, and she has a huge craving for strawberry based sweets ,she was now finished making them ,she sat down and got ready to eat ,until someone was interrupting her strawberry banquet, by knocking on the door.

When she came out to answer the door ,she was met by Sakura and Ino with grins on their faces ,saying "good morning first lady Hinata " making her smile a bit, knowing she's with good friends.

"Good morning girls ,I was about to have breakfast, would you care to join me?"Hinata asked ,"Of course ,we would love to ,by the way we brought you these"Ino replied ,giving Hinata a bouquet of flowers ,Hinata then takes them and says "thank you very much Ino ,I'll place these in some water."

Sakura then replied ,after coming in with Ino "so what are you having ?" ,they soon arrived in Hinata's dining room ,and when she saw what was on the table, she then said "wow Hinata ,did you make these yourself ? ,awesome " picking up a piece of strawberry cheese cake.

Hinata was soon blushing red all over, being as modest as can be, saying "thank you but I only have one problem, I dont know what to eat first ?" leaving the two friends wide jawed and stoned .

Later that day they decided to have strawberry yogurt for breakfast ,giving Ino and Sakura a chance to talk to Hinata about what they had planned for her.

After they got started eating, Sakura started the conversation, by saying "so Hinata how are you feeling today?" ,Hinata then replied "I'm fine thank you for asking, I do have a craving for strawberries though ,but I'm sure its nothing serious ."

Ino then brought the subject up on Naruto, almost making Hinata cry again ,but this time Ino calms her down ,saying" no no Hinata I'm sorry ,please don't cry" making Hinata stop.

"I-I don't mind really ,I'm just worried for Midori now, what if she doesnt come home ,what if she freezes to death out there ,what if" Hinata said with a worried look on her face ,making Ino want to slap her again ,but seeing that will ruin her plan she didn't slap her.

Instead she calmly said to her "Aw Hinata don't say that ,knowing Naruto she is in safe hands ,speaking of husbands have we got a surprise just for you after breakfast today," making Hinata change her mood ,saying"a surprise realy w-w-what is it?"

Ino then answered "oh its a surprise place ,but we'll go after breakfast OK?," Hinata then replied in a nervous like voice " alright ,lets eat" and began to eat strawberry yogurt .

In the afternoon we now see Hinata blindfolded ,and being dragged along with Sakura and Ino to the surprise place they wanted to take her to .

Hinata who was still blindfolded, asked Sakura "where are we going Sakura ,can I at least take off the blindfold to see where we are ,?" only for Sakura to reply "now Hinata if we took it off now ,it'll spoil the surprise allot."

This made Hinata think "I should've just stayed home and had my strawberry lunch ,lucky I kept it all refrigerated ," until they finally came to it at last ,she finally took off the blindfold and saw where she was taken to.

This place was very huge,and all covered in green and blue, it also had a name and it was the Kodomo no purei ,and boy was Hinata shocked to see where they where ,but there was more " You think this is cool, then wait till we get inside, it'll be even cooler "Ino said dragging her inside .

When they got inside ,Hinata was surprised to see who else was here, other than her ,Ino, and Sakura there where also Ten-ten, Temari, Matsuri, and their cute little children ,all shouting out "SURPRISE !"

This made Hinata freeze for at least a second ,then tears started to come out her eyes, "is she alright ?" Ten-ten asked Sakura, and she replied "Ill try to ask her " ,she then turned to Hinata ,and asked "are you alright Hinata are you alright ?"

Asking this made Hinata cry not in sadness, but in happiness saying "oh nothings wrong ,its just that this was the most nicest thing anyone would do for me, thank you everyone " hugging his two closest friends .

This made Ino shed tears too ,and say "anything for you Hinata Uzumaki ,and the little guy of course"referring to the unborn baby ,then Hinata replied "lets get this party started girls".

Then we see a nice waiter come by their table, and ask "what can I get you fine young ladies today?" ,and they all decided for Hinata to order for them, since she's the reason they are all here.

Hinata soon replied "yes a pepperoni pizza for the kids, for my friends 5 of your best wings ,and for me I'll have a piece of your tasty strawberry shortcake about 2 inches,mozzarella sticks with strawberry dipping ,and a tall glass of strawberry milkshake please, all on me"making the waiter surprised at what Hinata ordered ,but he decided to just write it down ,smile ,and say "will there be anything else lady Hinata?"

"Yes"Hinata added "on my milkshake ,make sure you put in a bendy straw to drink it with?" the waiter wrote it down, and said "I won't forget lady Hinata,"then left, all the women of the table where wide eyed at what Hinata ordered .

Hinata then looked at one of the kids that looked allot like a female version of Shikamaru,and asked "hello little one, whats your name?"Hinata asked the little girl, and she replied "I'm Shikamari Nara, its nice to meet you aunt Hinata" when Hinata heard this ,she asked "are we related ?"

Temari then steps in ,and replied "oh no she just likes calling friends of mine uncles or aunts," making Hinata understand, as she turned to the child next to Shikamari, who looks just like Choji ,asks his name "oh this is my little Asuma Akimichi, isn't he a cutie?"Ino asks, Hinata's only reply to that was "yes yes he is."

Ten-ten later steps in and introduce her children "these are my triplets, rocky, colt ,and tumm- tumm, and Neji is training them to be fine young men, say hello boys" they do so with a cute bow ,and finally Matsuri introduces her daughter, who looks like a female Gaara ,by saying "and this is Chiyo ,she's really a shy one, but she has her fathers chakra and good looks".

Hinata blushed seeing all the children her freinds made ,and she was so inspired ,she decided to show them all her unborn baby boy ,"now its my turn ,this is my son Minato Uzumaki ,and he isnt due until 8 months" this got the other females awing at the unborn child.

After they all got aquainted, the waiter arrived with their orders ,Ino then said to the kids ,after the waiter left, "hey kids why dont you go play ,or eat your pizza at the kiddy table, we have allot to talk about here "the kids do so ,and now Ino and all the rest have allot to talk about in family life.

Meanwhile outside the kiddy place ,the Naruto clone finally arrived to check up on Hinata ,only to see that she and the rest are doing fine ,so he said "well my work here is done see ya" dissapearing afterwords.

The girls talked for hours until night came, all the girls went home saying good night to each other ,Hinata does the same and heads home, saying "goodnight everyone ".

She later went to bed ,lying there not getting any sleep ,then got up and went to the bathroom for a glass of water ,and a sleep pills to help her sleep ,when she came across a picture, of her, Naruto,and Midori all standing in front of the 6th Hokage's stone face, this reminded her of Naruto so much ,that she said to herself " Naruto please make it home with Midori alive ,I really miss you two" before going to bed ,and crying herself to sleep .
