Hey everyone! Thank you for liking and following the story! I hope you enjoy this chapter because I had a hard time writing it. I also feel that it could be kinda dull but do not fret and bear with me! I have already started writing the next chapter (or chapter 4…?) so yeah which I had an easier time writing about because exciting stuff was happening.

Sorry if I made a big deal about the haters because when I wrote stories in the past, there weren't any troll comments made about my story at all and so that came as a big shock to me since it's been almost five years since I wrote anything. Thank you! Anyway, I just hope you enjoy what I wrote since it was really hard for me set up the upcoming chapters based on what I wrote for this chapter. Sorry if it feels rushed as well but I'm also trying not to do that as well.

Updates for this story will be on my bio as well so if you're interested, check it out.

I APOLOGIZE if my writing is meh or if I'm not making use of creative language. I write safety management plans and investigator brochures for clinical trials all fucking day (It's driving me insane lol clinical research is a pain in the ass sometimes). The language is very technical and so I don't get to use any imagery and stuff like that.

ENJOY!

On the 10th of October, as a young girl at the age of eleven, Hinata Hyuuga caught a firefly in her hands. And so she made a very interesting wish.

That she would grow boobs.

…Actually two.

That Naruto Uzumaki would want to touch them.

And when she was 19, both of those wishes were finally coming true. That is until…

"U-Um Naruto-kun, I-I don't know i-if we are ready to…" she was extremely flustered as she turned away from him. She covered her face and leaned on Naruto's bed frame, burying her face in her legs as they pressed against her chest. She felt Naruto make his way over to her and she felt him grab her hands so they wouldn't cover her face.

"Hinata, it's all right. We don't have to go all the way if you're not ready." He gave her a reassuring smile.

Hinata slowly lifted her eyes to meet his warm ones and gave him a bright smile. She felt relieved.

"Ne can I still touch your boobs though?" He sheepishly asked, giving her his trademark grin and scratching the back of head.

Hinata smiled.

In truth, her head was spinning and yet she had this feeling that also felt like she can always be sure to count on Naruto to not pin her in an uncomfortable or compromising position This also included her peers, mentors, friends, and family. She is the kind of girl to try to plan things to the T or at least understand the consequences of decisions she was making so that nothing unexpected would occur in her life…such as a baby before marriage.

Brushing her thoughts aside, Hinata made her final wish. That Naruto would know that when the time came, the time would be right.

Morning

7:00 am. Sakura groggily stared at her alarm clock with half-lidded eyes. It's too early to go to the Hospital. She moaned from the rays of sunlight hitting her face. She turned her face away, her pink bangs covering her eyes from the blasted sun. She ended up staring at Sasuke's sleeping face. She always did watch loving him sleep. His breathing was deep and relaxed, all the muscles in his face and body were at peace. There was no twitch, spasm, or sudden movement that he made. He is at peace - rejuvenating his mind and muscles before the onset of today's events.

Sakura began to think of the days when they started out as a young couple. It was quite difficult sleeping next to him. His face was always contorted in anguish. His eyes were clenched and his lips twitched as he slept. However as they got closer, his whole body began to relax and soon enough, he was able to sleep peacefully.

She glanced back at the clock.

6:15 am

Okay she has to get up. Sakura sat up and rubbed her face. She felt stirring next to her and saw Sasuke blink at her. She smiled tiredly at him.

"Good morning!"

He yawned in response.

He's probably still groggy. Sakura pulled the covers off her body and stood up. She yawned and stretched her arms out as she walked to the bathroom to take a quick shower. She grabbed a hair tie and tied her hair in a loose ponytail so when she brushed her teeth, her hair wouldn't get covered in toothpaste and spittle.

As she finished brushing her teeth, she turned on the hot shower and began to strip off her night gown. She blushed at last night's activities and shook her head to be rid of those thoughts. Maybe I should have gone with a cold shower…As she stepped into the shower, she felt the warm water travel down her body and she felt relaxed as her muscles loosened and unknotted from the rough love making last night. Or maybe not.

As she finished, she grabbed her towel and began to dry herself. She stood in front of the bathroom mirror and wiped the condensation off from the mirror with the palm of her hand and she let out a frustrated sigh. There were love bites all over her neck. She touched them and winced as they were still sore from last night. Not good. Today she would be wearing her turtle-neck collared shirt today to cover them up.

She glanced at the clock at the wall, barely making out the numbers.

6:44 am.

Her shift began at 8:00 am and she forgot to wake Sarada up to get ready for her mission today. She grabbed her bathrobe from the door and put it on so her neck was covered and walked past Sasuke who was making his way into the bathroom.

Sakura opened Sarada's bedroom door and saw her snuggling with her giant panda plushy. Sakura smiled as she watched her sleep.

She immediately went over to her daughter and shook her shoulder, "Sarada wake up."

Sarada shifted her weight to avoid her mother's touch. "Ngh." She pulled the covers over her head.

Sakura's eyebrow twitched, "Sarada wake up!" She said much louder as she shook her daughter a bit more roughly.

No budge.

Sakura crossed her arms and tapped her foot. "SARADA UCHIHA WAKE UP!" She yanked the covers off her daughter's body and roughly shook her.

"AH!" Sarada shot up, sharingan spinning wildly.

"Mama?!" Sarada saw her mom scowling at her. "Okay I'm up." Her eyes reverted back to their onyx color and she fell back onto her pillow.

"I expect you to be downstairs in 20 minutes missy! You have a mission and I have work." Sakura gave her a knowing look and walked back to the bedroom to get dressed.

"Yes mama," replied Sarada, sleep still on her mind as she debated whether to test her mother's patience or not.

7:18 am

As Sakura was getting ready, she remembered that Sasuke had to provide his sample to her in order to have Tsunade test their gamete count. Oh I can't believe I almost forgot. Sakura was rummaging through her drawer, looking for labels to write down Sasuke's information before placing it on the cup.

As Sasuke got out from the bathroom, he felt a small hand grab his arm.

"Sasuke I almost forgot, I need you to give me your sample. Just break the seal and…uh…do your thing." Sakura gave him a reassuring smile.

His left eye twitched. "Okay." He was a man of few words, even with his wife. Hearing her instructions almost made him cringe. Almost. He grabbed the cup and went to the bathroom.

As Sasuke shut the door, he stared at the cup. He felt slightly awkward about…well jacking off…into a cup. Since he only had one hand, he began to think about how he could get his sample in the cup. It was in this moment that he wished Sakura helped him with this predicament. He decided to just close the toilet lid and set the cup down on top of the lid. He unscrewed the cap of the cup in order for him to dispense his sample.

He began to pull his member out from his trousers and fisted his hand slowly around the base of his forming erection, letting his finger drop one by one to settle his grip. His eyes clenched shut as began to stroke his member up and down. He let his fingers trace over the curves of the engorged veins of his cock. The slit of shaft began to drip with pre-cum and then began to stroke faster than before. He pumped up and down until he felt his breath become shallower than before and he was nearing the edge of orgasm and felt his balls tighten and his cock pulse. He shakily grabbed the cup and barely made it in time to have the cup near the head of his shaft before his body racked with satisfaction. He felt a droplet of sweat creep its way down the side of his temple.

7:41 am

He screwed the cap closed onto the cup and washed his hand after his session. He changed into his normal clothes and made his way downstairs with the sample and found Sarada at the door, putting her shoes on. He stuffed the sample into his pocket so his daughter wouldn't see what he held.

"I'll see you later papa!" Sarada exclaimed. "Bye mama!" She yelled towards the kitchen where her mother was at.

"See you later honey!" Sakura yelled.

"See you." Sasuke muttered.

As the door shut, Sasuke made his way towards the kitchen and pulled out his sample. "Here." He placed the cup into her unsuspecting hand while the other held a spoon.

Sakura grimaced. "Sasuke I was in the middle of eating!" She placed the sample down on the table and brought her bowl to the sink. She noticed the time and quickly grabbed the sample. "Well, my shift is about to start and the sooner I take the sample to Shizune, the better."

She leaned in to kiss him but he swiftly dodged her kiss as he made his way towards their bedroom. "See you later then." He turned his head slightly to give her a side smirk.

Sakura felt disappointed that she did not receive a goodbye kiss…again but she was running a bit late and she wanted to deposit the sample as soon as possible. She hastily put her shoes on and ran out the door with the sample.

- oo -

"Shizune!"

Shizune's ears perked at the sound of Sakura's voice. She turned around and greeted her with a wave. "Is there anything I can do for you Sakura?"

Sakura lifted a hand to give herself a moment to breathe. Shizune waited patiently for her to catch her breath.

7:56 am.

"Ah…Here is Sasuke's sample. I have scheduled my appointment for tomorrow to have my egg count. Hopefully everything is normal ne?" Sakura's panted out.

Shizune reviewed the sample and noticed something was missing. "Sakura you forgot to put the time the sample was taken."

"It was around 7:45 am."

"Okay, I will take it to the lab then." Shizune placed a hand on her shoulder, "Get some water and then you can start your shift."

"Yes Shizune."

"I will let you know of the results in a couple of days. If everything is normal, we are going to proceed with the IUI." Shizune gave Sakura a reassuring smile and briskly walked away, making sure to keep the sample viable and ready for the sperm count and insemination.

Sakura wiped the beads of sweat that clung to her forehead with the back of her hand. She shifted her weight to her right side and placed her right hand on her slightly raised hip. She watched Shizune become smaller and smaller and let out a tiny smile, unknowingly tracing a circle around her navel.

- oo -

Hinata sighed as she sat around the house, a book in hand. She lifted herself off the couch and made her way over the kitchen, opening the refrigerator door and eyed the contents that were there. She made a mental note of what she needed to buy and decided to take Himawari along with her to help her with the groceries.

As she was going to call for Himawari, she noticed Naruto forgot to take his lunch. Oh no! I'll also make sure to drop this off for him.

She grabbed his lunch and called out to her daughter, "Himawari-chan we're going to go grocery shopping okay?" Hinata grabbed her tote bag from the coat rack and slipped on her sandals. She patiently waited as Himawari put on her custard-colored sweater and then as she tied her shoes.

"I'm ready!" She skipped over to her mother and gave her a bright smile, her eyes curved.

Hinata smiled down at her tenderly. "Okay let's go!"

- oo -

Sasuke had nothing to do for the next couple of days before he received his next mission. He sat on the couch and leaned his head back to rest the back of his neck on the edge of the couch. Perhaps he didn't need a lot of rest. He decided to go the Uchiha training grounds at the edge of the village. It normally took him 10-15 minutes to walk there since he resided near Konoha Hospital with his family due to Sakura's job being right there.

He flinched at the sudden and intimate memory that came into his mind. Itachi's memory. Foreign yet so familiar.

Fugaku walked alongside his young son Itachi, walking towards the Uchiha training grounds.

"What's the matter?" Itachi inquired.

Fugaku had a concerned look on his face. He frowned deeply. He noticed that the ANBU were spying on the Uchiha. Fugaku clenched his fists briefly before putting on an impassive façade and faced Itachi.

"Nothing. Let's go."

Sasuke stepped outside his home and stared houses lining up to become his neighborhood. It was interesting to see after all these years, the Uchiha would be back to reside within the center of the village once more. Would there be another Uchiha compound rebuilt? He highly doubted it and he wasn't sure if he ever wanted it to be rebuilt. Resentment is not the correct choice of word Sasuke was looking for. He did feel a pang – a tug – in his heart, a fleeting feeling that he quickly suppressed as he thought of Sarada who knew nothing of the past. He began to walk towards the training ground, deep in thought about the Uchiha.

And the thought of bringing another Uchiha into the world.

- oo -

Hinata walked behind her bubbly daughter who skipped in front of her. She's the brightest in the family. Hinata truly loved her daughter. She was everything Hinata wasn't when she was a little girl. She was everything she hoped she would be. Nothing like her – except for her kindness. She has inherited both the kindness of her mother and father. For that, she was glad.

"Mom, look they have taiyaki. Can I have some?" Himawari grabbed her mother's hand and dragged her across the street over to a vendor who was selling them.

Hinata stumbled behind her. "Ne Himawari I think you should be watching where-" Hinata didn't get to finish her sentence as she collided with someone's hard back. Himawari's hand had slipped out of hers and she crinkled her nose. A stinging pain shot from her sinuses and she massaged her nose with both hands. She pinched the bridge of her nose and bent her head downwards, trying to ease the pain that she felt on her face. As she was doing this, she raised her eyes to see a dark eye peer at her through the man's bangs.

A fine eyebrow was raised.

Hinata immediately recognized who it was. "Uchiha-san! I-I'm so sorry a-about that. Himawari was p-pulling me towards the stand a-and ah…a-and I didn't see you." Hinata bowed profusely in embarrassment.

"It's fine," he muttered. He walked away without sparing a second glance at her or Himawari.

Hinata watched his retreating back and then she began to frantically search for Himawari. She spotted her with the vendor who gave her the taiyaki "Mama I got it for free! The man said anything for the Hokage's kids." She let out a toothy grin.

Hinata felt flustered for two reasons. One, she embarrassed herself publically by colliding with the Uchiha patriarch due to her daughter's eagerness in wanting to eat the taiyaki. Second, she needed to pay said taiyaki. Just because they were the Hokage's family didn't mean they deserved better treatment than anyone else. Respect had to be earned.

Hinata kneeled down and grabbed Himawari's hand. "Himawari, let's go to the vendor again and pay for your treat. Just because you are the Hokage's daughter doesn't mean you should be accustomed to receiving free gifts. We are all citizens of Konoha and people must earn a living by selling their goods."

She caressed her cheek and together they walked hand in hand back to the vendor and then to the Hokage's office.

A couple of days later

Shizune called Sakura to Tsunade's office and waited for her to come in.

"Yes?" Sakura asked as she stepped into shishou's office.

Tsunade was rummaging through some paperwork she had in her hands. "Aha! I found it. Okay so we have the results of the gamete count."

Sakura clasped her hands together, anxiously waiting to hear the results. "So what did you find?"

Tsunade let out a smile, "Nothing. Everything is normal. Since the count was okay, my only guess is that there might have been sluggish sperm in his semen but we'll make sure to maximize the success by separating the fast ones vs. the slower ones. Luckily we can proceed with the IUI. Now if that doesn't work, we will proceed to do an IVF okay?" She pointedly looked at Sakura and saw her nod her head frantically. "Great now did you want to schedule it for two days from now?"

Sakura let out a deep breath, happy to know nothing was really off. "Of course!"

"Perfect, we'll have you down for nine in the morning. Just to let you know, I will be the one to perform the IUI. I was going to have Shizune do it but she has to perform a pap smear at another appointment at the same time. Anyway, congratulations soon-to-be mommy." Tsunade patted Sakura in the back, giving her a thumbs up before dismissing her.

-oo-

The day of the fated appointment has arrived.

Today started off normally for both Sakura and Hinata. They were both getting ready so visit the hospital in hopes of having a baby and the hopes of not being diagnosed with cervical cancer, respectively.

And so Hinata routinely did everything she was supposed to in the morning. She had nothing to worry about for today's appointment.

Her results should be normal right? She's a healthy 33 year old woman after all.

But boy she had no idea what was coming.

Like a good patient, Hinata came in twenty minutes early for her appointment with Shizune for her annual pelvic exam and pap smear. Her appointment was scheduled at 9:00 am and it was now 9:40. She had been waiting in the exam room for roughly forty minutes, doing absolutely nothing. Hinata is usually someone who doesn't get impatient but this was quite a bit of a wait. I wonder if there is a huge influx of patients this morning. She pondered on this thought as she laid back down on the patient bed and stared at the ceiling. The LED lights blinded her and she closed her eyes. She felt weary the moment she closed her eyes. I think I'll just rest my eyes for a bit, she thought before she was lulled to sleep by the sound of the light humming coming from the lights.

- oo -

Tsunade was feeling quite distraught this morning. The night before, she got drunk. But why would Tsunade get drunk the night before you might ask?

Today marks the anniversary of Dan's death. Ah Dan. The love of her life and the cause of her anguish once every year. She drowned her sadness with bitter, hot sake and wallowed in her despair most of the night.

She knew it was a bad habit but old habits die hard. When she awoke in the morning, she was greeted by a hot sun and a raging hangover. This was not good at all. Tsunade covered her face with her hand and rubbed her face. I can't function this morning! She thought. Tsunade weakly tried reaching for her glass of water but she was failing at it miserably. She kicked off her bed covers and stood up shakily, feeling very dizzy and wobbly on her feet as she treaded her way towards the kitchen.

Oh I have no idea how I'm going to get through today.

She made herself a cup of tea, hoping her hangover would go away as quickly as possible. It was at this moment, she forgot she had to perform the IUI on Sakura.

-oo-

It was late morning as Tsunade made her way to the hospital, trying to ignore the throbbing in her head. She glanced at the clock hanging on the walls and shrugged. She was late but alas, nothing could be done about it. She continued down the hall until a nurse called out to her. Tsunade cringed at the loudness of the nurse's tone.

"Lady Tsunade! Shizune called in sick this morning so you please help us cover her appointments today," the nurse begged. She took had two patient folders in her hands and began to discuss the first appointments that Tsunade would be handling. "Today we have a pap smear in room 11 and an IUI in room 16."

Tsunade let out a frustrated sigh. "Of all the days, Shizune had to call in sick." She threw her hands up and swiped the folders from the nurse's hand as she stormed away from her.

Okay I will take care of the IUI first in room 11. She went to the freezer and grabbed the only sperm sample there – which happened to be Sasuke's – and went on to grab the speculum, a thin catheter and syringe. Tsunade paused, trying to recall where she had to go and what she had to do. "IUI in room 11 and pap in room 16." She made a left turn in the hall way and walked through the doors of the exam room.

Tsunade had yet to realize that she had mixed up the room numbers.

A startled Hinata sat up trying to gather her surroundings. She licked her dry lips and noticed the previous Hokage. "Oh Lady Tsunade! Good morning! I-I thought Shizune was going to perform the p-"

Tsunade interrupted her waving her hand. "Yes I know but she called in sick so I'm here taking over her appointments and my own as well." Tsunade snapped at her. She saw the surprised look on Hinata's face and sighed, trying to ignore the building headache she was having. "All right just spread your legs for me and lay back down. This will be done very quickly okay?"

Hinata nodded silently, not wanting to upset Tsunade more than she already was.

Tsunade fell into a routine, not really paying much attention to what she was doing since she has done this for many years now. She tossed "Hinata's" medical file onto a nearby table and sat between her legs, inserting the cold speculum through her vaginal walls. She grabbed the catheter and syringe with the loaded sample and placed the catheter into her womb. She felt Hinata shift uncomfortably and grabbed her legs, "Stay still!"

Hinata tensed but then forced herself to relax.

Tsunade patted her legs in a reassuring manner before continuing on. She grabbed the syringe with the preloaded sample and injected it into her uterine cavity.

Tsunade disposed of the materials and took off her gloves. "All that's done. You'll get your results in two to three weeks. You may go now." Tsunade walked out of the room before hearing Hinata's expression of gratitude.

- oo -

As Tsunade made her way into the next room, she grabbed the supplies needed for the pap smear. She made her way over to room 16 where Sakura was currently residing.

Sakura heard the door open and close and heard Tsunade's grumbling. "Good morning shishou."

"Morning, morning." She waved off her greeting.

Being concerned, Sakura was about to sit up before she heard Tsunade snap at her to lay back down. She did as she was told and softly asked, "Is everything all right?"

"Yeah just…tired." She sat between Sakura's legs and tapped her legs so she could spread them apart.

"Okay are you ready?"

"Yes!" Sakura smiled widely.

As Tsunade was performing the procedure, she felt a strong pinch in her cervix. "Ow!" Sakura forced herself not to clench her walls.

Tsunade made an offhand comment, "Yeah you'll usually feel that pinch." Tsunade began storing the cells she retrieved from Sakura's cervix into a test tube.

Sakura heard the used materials being thrown into the hazardous waste bin and heard the snapping of gloves coming off. "Okay come back in two weeks for the results okay?"

"Thank you so much for doing this Tsunade-sama. I really appreciate it," Sakura said sincerely. She felt quite happy was already anxious to take the pregnancy test to confirm her hopes.

Tsunade waved her off and exited the exam room, dreading the next upcoming seven hours of hell.

As Hinata was walking home with a content look on her face she had no idea that her life has been thrown into an uncomfortable and unwarranted position by one of her trusted mentors. Soon, her life is to become the stuff of everything she didn't want it to be. A living nightmare.

Tsunade also had no idea that the so-called "immaculate conception" of Uzumaki Hinata – the heiress to the Hyuuga clan and the Lord Hokage's wife – would be one of the biggest mistakes of her life.

HOLY SHIT GUYS. THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME WRITING IDK WHAT YOU CALL THAT MASTURBATION SCENE (lime maybe not really…maybe not…?). I feel so awkward. I think I need a beta reader to help me out with this sexual stuff but idk (if you wanna help me out with that, I would be so happy) *hides face in shame.* I just wrote it in one go without revising it because I felt super friggin' awkward. I have never written something like that but that's what I like about writing this story. It's testing my abilities to write things such as this.

This reminds me. I wanted to respond to a comment regarding the characters. With this story, I don't plan on bashing any characters in this fic. I ESPECIALLY DO NOT want to put down Naruto or Sakura (especially Sakura – she needs some love). My concern with this story is trying really hard to make the characters NOT look terrible because in my mind, I don't see them as being horrible people in this story. I also wanted to thank the anonymous reviewers who left harsh critiques for my story. It really helped me understand who my audience is and how I can address concerns over this fanfic.

ALSO THANK YOU TO THE REVIEWERS FOR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT! YOU'RE ALL THE BEST! I am not giving up on the story whatsoever so you can count on receiving updates!
