Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the encouraging reviews and in answer to Hyper n Smart 1's review yes I did get the idea for the story from the television show The Nanny, it's my favorite. So anyway I've decided to time skip the story by a month so that Hinata, Shinsuke, and Sasuke will all be more comfortable with one another. Also so that I wouldn't bore you guys with them getting acquainted. But any who on with the story.

The Nanny

Chapter 3

"Hinata-chan can I have chocolate cake for dinner," Shinsuke asked as he looked up at her while she helped Higo make dinner.

Since she had moved in over a month ago she had gotten really close with all of the staff, especially Higo. They all took a liking to her once they realized that she wasn't after Sasuke's money.

Hinata didn't want to have someone do something for her that she could easily do herself. So she cleaned her own room and helped Higo make dinner every night. She was working on teaching Shinsuke to clean his room so he would know some responsibility.

Hinata paused in cutting the tomatoes and turned towards Shinsuke saying, "I don't think so kiddo. Chocolate cake is for dessert not dinner."

"But Hinata-chan," Shinsuke began to whine.

"No buts mister. Are you really going to hurt Higo's poor feelings by not eating the delicious meal he made for you?"

She bent down so that she was eye level with him. He pouted cutely, his lower lip sticking out and his eyes pointed towards the floor. Higo chuckled at the sight of him as he began to make circles on the floor with the tips of his shoes. Hinata herself had a hard time keeping a straight face.

"I guess not," he sighed in surrender.

"Good and for giving the right answer there will be a nice treat in your lunch box tomorrow." She ruffled his hair playfully.

"Really?"

She nodded her head. "Now go upstairs and make sure that your room is straight before dinner."

"Alright Hinata-chan." He ran out of the room and up the stairs not even noticing his father who was standing by the kitchen door.

"Nicely played Hinata-san," Higo chuckled.

"Thank you," Hinata laughed back as she finished chopping the tomatoes.

Sasuke had stood in the doorway waiting to see how Hinata would handle the situation with Shinsuke. And he wasn't disappointed to say the least. She had gotten him to cooperate without scolding him, and had even followed up with an award for following direction.

He was glad that she was teaching Shinsuke things in his absence and it was becoming more and more clear everyday that he had made the right decision in hiring her. The staff liked her, Shinsuke liked her, and he himself liked her. Only his like was different from the others.

He knew that nothing could ever happen between the two, so he made himself be satisfied with just being able to see her everyday. And what a sight she always was. It was refreshing to see her after work, a ray of sunshine in the clouds of business.

It had become a routine of theirs to eat dinner with one another when he got home from work. She would put Shinsuke to sleep after dinner then wait up for him until he got home which was only an hour or so afterwards. Then she would warm up the food and they would talk about their days and eat enjoying the other's company. It had started about the second week she had been working there.

Flashback

Hinata had just finished reading Shinsuke a story and putting him to bed. She slipped out of his room and made her way down stairs. Everyone else had gone home, able to go home earlier now that Hinata was living there.

Hinata rubbed her growling stomach remembering she hadn't eaten dinner with Shinsuke because she was busy making him cupcakes for his class party the next day. She made her way towards the kitchen then stopped and spun on her heel heading towards the family room.

Her and Shinsuke had been in there earlier doing homework, then playing games. She had left a mess in there and had told the maids that she would clean it and they didn't have to worry about it. After all it wasn't the maid's job to clean up the toys that they had taken out. Their job was to make sure that the house wasn't dusty and take care of the parts of the house that was neglected.

Hinata began to clean the room and put the toys into an oak toy box that was in the corner of the room. After the family room was spotless she maid her way back towards the kitchen. The front door began to open as she walked passed it and she jumped then grabbed a near by umbrella prepared to swing. When the person came into view she saw that it was Sasuke and lowered the umbrella letting out a breath of relief.

"Sasuke you scared me," Hinata said as she clutched at her frantically beating heart.

Sasuke grinned at the sight of her, " What were you going to do, bludgeon me with a pokemon umbrella?"

"Well it was the closest thing to me," Hinata blushed.

"What are you doing down here anyway? You're usually asleep by the time I come home."

"Well I didn't eat dinner yet. Have you eaten Sasuke?"

"No not yet, I usually grab something from the fridge when I come home."

"Well than come on and I'll warm something up."

Sasuke sat his briefcase down by the front door then followed her to the kitchen. He took a seat at the table and watched as she took out two plates and glasses. She set them down on the counter then headed towards the refrigerator where the food was. She pulled out three containers and took food from each and placed it on both plates.

Sliding them into the microwave she waited as they were heated up. When the bell sounded to say that the food was done she grabbed the plates and walked towards Sasuke. She set the plates down then turned to get the silverware and fill their glasses with tea.

Sasuke looked down at the food and saw that it was barbeque chicken, mash potatoes, rice, and corn. Sasuke mumbled a thank you as Hinata handed him a fork and his glass. She sat down across from him and they quickly said thanks for the food then began eating.

"So how was work? You look exhausted."

"It definitely drains you by the end of the day that's for sure. But speaking of work how's yours going?"

"It's going really great so far. Shinsuke's a good kid. He has his days of course when he just wants to be lazy and lay around all day but eventually he does what he has to do."

"That's good, he can be pretty stubborn some times."

"Wonder who he gets it from," she joked.

"Ha ha, very funny," he laughed. "So what are the big plans for tomorrow?"

"Well Shinsuke has a party at his school tomorrow, so I'm going to drop the cupcakes off to his classroom a little after 11 'o clock."

"That's right, I completely forgot about that party tomorrow. Wait cupcakes? I didn't know you could bake Hinata."

"Yup, I'm highly skilled in the kitchen."

I wonder where else you're skilled at, Sasuke said quietly to himself. He blushed at his thoughts.

"I'll take that for you."

He looked down and realized that they had both finished their food. He didn't even remember eating it in the first place. He watched Hinata take the empty dishes to the sink and begin to wash them. He stood up and walked over to her.

"Need some help," he asked as he took a cleaned dish from her hand and began drying it.

"Sure, thanks." The pair finished off the dishes quickly and headed upstairs to their rooms.

"Goodnight Sasuke," Hinata said as she opened her door.

"Goodnight." He continued a little ways down the hall to his and sighed as he opened the door. He crawled into his bed absently thinking that that night had been a good one.

End Flashback

Ever since that night Hinata had waited up for him and they ate their dinner together. But it seemed tonight they would all be eating dinner together.

"You're home early Sasuke," she smiled.

"Finished up my paper work quickly. It smells great in here."

"We're making spaghetti, right Higo?" Higo nodded in consent. "It'll be done soon."

Sasuke took a seat at the kitchen table and watched the pair finish dinner. He heard Shinsuke coming down the stairs and head into the kitchen. He saw his father at the table and ran over to him.

"Daddy, you're home!"

Sasuke picked him up and sat in his lap. "Hey kiddo."

"Did you finish you're room Shin-kun?"

Shinsuke turned towards Hinata and smile. "Yeah its all done. So what's my treat for tomorrow?"

"It's a secret. You'll just have to find out tomorrow, won't you?"

"Ok, but do I still get cake for dessert?"

"Yup."

"Alright!"

A maid entered the kitchen as Hinata and Higo began to set the food down on the kitchen table. She walked over to Sasuke and bowed quickly.

"Sasuke-sama your mother is here."

"My what," Sasuke asked in alarm.

Great his mother was here that was the last thing he needed at this moment. Don't get him wrong, he loved his mother. She had stuck by him when Shinsuke's mother had abandoned them. But the set back to that was that she was constantly trying to set him up with woman, going on about how he need a wife and Shinsuke a mother.

So no doubt if she saw Hinata she would become set on Hinata becoming his future wife. Not that was a bad idea, then he could just let his mom get them together and not have to, wait, wait, wait, NO! His mother would most likely scare Hinata of before he ever got the chance to confess his felling to her.

Yes everyone Sasuke Uchiha did hold feelings for Hinata Hyuuga and he did plan to tell her one day he was just to cowardly to do it. After all who wanted to get rejected by their nanny. Before he could warn Hinata to run Mikoto had already walked through the door.

"Hello all," Mikoto exclaimed as she entered the kitchen.

"Hi gram gram," Shinsuke said as he left his father's lap and ran over to his grandmother.

"Hello my darling." Mikoto swept him up into her arms and gave him a hug. "How have you been? How's school?"

"Good, Hinata-chan has been helping me with my homework."

"Hinata-chan?" Mikoto looked up and finally noticed a woman standing near the kitchen table placing down food. She put Shinsuke down on the floor and walked over to Hinata.

"Hi, I'm Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke's mother. You are," Mikoto asked as she extended her hand to Hinata.

"I'm Hinata Hyuuga, Shinsuke's nanny. It's a pleasure to meet you Uchiha-san," Hinata smiled as she shook Mikoto's hand.

"Please call me Mikoto, or better yet mom," Mikoto laughed.

"E-Excuse me," Hinata stuttered.

"Just kidding," Mikoto laughed.

Sasuke sighed. He could already see the wheels spinning in Mikoto's. he stood to save Hinata from his mother.

"Mother," Sasuke said to get her attention.

"Oh Sasuke, how are you dear? Why didn't you tell me about Shinsuke getting a nanny? And such a pretty one too. I just bet all of the boys are after you huh Hinata?"

Hinata blushed a pretty red and laughed nervously.

"Mother please don't harass my employees."

"Sasuke, I'm offended." Mikoto gripped her chest.

"What do you want mother?"

"Can't a mother come by to see her son and have dinner with him?"

"So you'll be joining us then, Mikoto-san," Hinata asked.

"If you don't mind dear."

"I'll just grab another plate."

The four sat down for dinner after Higo had left to go home. Hinata and Shinsuke began to make the plates for everyone at the kitchen counter then carried them over to the table. Hinata sat Sasuke's plate in front of him then took a seat on his left side. Shinsuke handed his grandmother a plate then sat to the right of Sasuke.

"You'll make such good wife one day Hinata." Mikoto sent Sasuke a look he pretended not to see.

"Thank you," Hinata blushed.

"Hinata-chan the spaghetti is to long."

"Here let me see," Hinata said as she took his plate. She quickly cut the long strands into shorter ones so that he would be able to eat it easier.

"Thank you Hinata-chan."

"You're welcome."

"And you'll make a good mother too." She sent another look at Sasuke. This time Sasuke just rolled his eyes.

"Are you going to be a mom someday Hinata-chan?"

"One day hopefully, Shin-kun."

"So you want kids one day Hinata?"

"Yes, I love kids."

"If only my dear Sasuke would settle down with someone and give me more grandchildren."

"Mother," Sasuke bit out. Hinata laughed at the two.

"Hopefully he'll find someone as sweet as you Hinata. Wouldn't you like Shinsuke if your daddy found someone as sweet as Hinata to marry?"

"Why doesn't he just marry Hinata if she's already sweet?"

Sasuke and Hinata both blushed at the innocent comment and avoided the other's eyes. Mikoto giggled at her grandson.

"You're so smart Shinsuke."

By the end of the dinner Hinata's face was set in a permanent blush while Sasuke's was permanent scowl.

"Okay Shin-kun time for bed."

"Okay Hinata-chan. Goodnight gram gram," he said as he followed Hinata up the stairs.

"Night Shinsuke. It was nice to meet you Hinata."

"It was nice to meet you too."

Once the two disappeared from view Sasuke turned on his mother.

"What was that back the at dinner? Were you trying to scare her away?"

"I like her Sasuke."

"Well that was plain to see."

"And I know you like her too."

"What's your point mother."

"She's not Sakura. She won't hurt you, I can tell. And do you know what I can also tell?"

"What?"

"She likes you too."

"What?"

"Yup, I can see it. But if you don't act quick someone else is going to get to her first."

"Mother."

"Goodnight darling."

"Goodnight," Sasuke smiled as he gave her a kiss on her cheek.

Mikoto left her son's house satisfied with the knowledge that he was in good hands with Hinata around.

Sasuke walked up the stairs to Shinsuke's room and watched as Hinata read Shinsuke a bedtime story. He couldn't help but agree with his mom's statement about her one day being a good mother… and a good wife.
