It was difficult being a mother. Not that Hinata hated it--she didn't--it was just more than she had been truly prepared for. Sure, she knew all the tips she'd been taught, knew how to feed and bathe and change her son, but she was still nervous. What if he wouldn't stop crying, what if she wasn't around when something happened, what if, what if?
She was fretting over that when Kiba came home, tossing his keys on the table and coming over to give her a kiss and a hug, standing before their son's cradle. "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing..." He hugged her tighter, in that way that always meant he knew she was hiding something, and she slumped in his arms. "...He kept crying and I didn't know what to do..."
Kiba kissed her cheek. "He's not crying now, though." She could feel him smile. "So you obviously did the right thing."
Hinata blushed. "...I gave him your plush dog to hold."
Her husband grinned more...although she was sure she sensed a bit of a pout. It was his favorite toy, after all. "Well, that just means he's gonna be fine. He already knows how awesome dogs are."
Hinata smiled.
