Hey guys! Sorry it took so long! I wanted to break this chapter into two chapters but since I kept you waiting long enough, I decided to make it one whole chapter. Sorry for the grammatical errors or rushed-feeling of this chapter. It was really hard to write and I wanted to upload this as quickly as possible so I can get on with the SasuHina stuff lol. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and please leave CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and reviews! I always appreciate reviews!
I also need a beta reader so if you know someone or want to be my beta person, I would really appreciate it!
Knowing Hinata as well as you do by now, it should come as no surprise that even back in the academy, she was a planner. By planner, I mean that Hinata made plans to avoid confrontation and to also avoid uncomfortable situations.
Unfortunately for Hinata, Neji knew her just as well too.
You see, he was her personal tormentor during that time.
And during the Chuunin exams, Hinata was pitted against her cousin Neji. During their fight, she was knocked down multiple times. Following Naruto's nindo, she struggled to get up with blood dripping down her chin, her arms shook as she crawled her way back up to her feet and uttered, "I-I," Hinata coughed out more blood, "I never…go back," she gulped back more breathes of air, gasping as she struggled to continue, "on my word… because that too is my nindo. My ninja way." Her chest was heaving but with each breath she took, strength and courage returned back to her eyes.
She struggled to land a hit on her cousin but in the end, she was struck in the chest and fell over.
A shadow cast over Hinata's fallen body. "You just don't get it do you? You're strikes were ineffective from the very start. You're finished."
His words stung her that day and it reinforced her dislike for such situations. Nonetheless, she found the courage to befriend Neji and to rekindle their relationship as family members. Hinata and Neji have moved on from this experience because she was a forgiving person and did not hold grudges.
Present day Konoha
The following day after her "routine pelvic exam," Hinata received orders to go by the Hokage's office to receive updates about an upcoming mission she was asked to go on. It has been awhile since she has gone on a mission since she's decided to become a full-time mother. Regardless of that, she decided to be placed on reserve duty just in case she was really needed. Her hair fell in front of her face as she was finishing reading through the scroll. She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and set aside the scroll. She began to make her way over to the Hokage's office, curious as to what her mission is.
As Hinata arrived at the Hokage's office and entered, she was greeted by the warm embrace of her husband. Hinata giggled, her voice muffled due to his sweater covering her mouth. "N-Naruto-kun, shouldn't we be more…professional?"
Naruto let out a chortle and held on tighter, tucking her head underneath his chin. "I guess but no one's here-"The door busted open and Ino came walking in, oblivious to the intimate moment happening between the Hokage and his wife.
"Hey Naruto. Hi Hinata!" She smiled warmly at them.
"Uh Ino what are you doing here? I was expecting Sakura. The mission was assigned for Sakura and Hinata," Naruto trailed off as he scratched his head in confusion. He headed towards his desk and began to sort through his paperwork. He was looking for the scroll that contained the details of the mission and who was assigned to it.
Ino crossed her arms in annoyance. She was unsurprised that Naruto would be behind on his work. "Well I'm guessing you didn't even look at Tsunade's excused note for Sakura. She cannot go on missions for at least a month. I'm here to replace her for the time being." Ino rolled her eyes after she mentioned Sakura's status.
Naruto's eyes widened at the news. "Is something wrong with Sakura-chan?" He asked, worried for his old teammate.
Ino tapped her index finger on her bottom lip, a pensive look gracing her soft features. "No I don't think so. Sakura said that she will be relieved from active duty for a month, whatever that means. Anyway, can you give us our assignment?" Ino demanded as she tapped her foot impatiently.
Hinata observed the scene quietly, worrying for her friend and hoping Sakura would be okay. I wonder why she would need to be relieved for a month.
Naruto coughed into his hand and began to move back on topic, "All right, so this mission should take about 3-4 weeks but it could be three weeks if you finish the assignment quickly. So you will be escorting the sand elder back to the sand village and guard him until his arrival. This is a B-ranked mission. The elder is a sickly man so hence I requested Sakura because she is a medic nin but," He glanced at Ino who looked bored. "Well Ino you're also a medic nin so it's not a problem. Hinata, I wanted you to accompany him because of your Byakugan prowess and your ability to detect enemies coming from afar. The both of you leave tonight in three hours."
They both nodded their heads and bowed, exiting the office.
Naruto stepped forward and grabbed Hinata's arm. "Wait Hinata, can I speak to you for a minute?"
Hinata turned to face and nodded. She turned to look at Ino who waved Hinata goodbye before taking her leave.
Naruto pulled Hinata towards him and turned her around so she would face him. He placed his hands on her shoulders and began to softly rub his thumbs over her shoulder blades. He leaned down and brought his lips to her ear, "Please be careful okay? I don't want anything to happen to you." He kissed her temple and Hinata cupped his cheek, reassuring him that she will be fine.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun. It's a simple escort mission."
He smiled in return.
Hinata walked back home, packing her things needed for the long trip. She grabbed her traveler's backpack and started packing clothes, utensils, weapons, etc. As she was packing, Boruto barged into her shared bedroom with Naruto.
"Hey mom." His hands were behind his back, a hint of annoyance marring his features.
"Yes sweetie?" Hinata asked, stopping to turn to him.
"I heard you were going on a mission. Does this mean I have to watch Himawari?"
Hinata watched in amusement as Boruto shuffled his feet and had his face turned to the side, his lips turned downward at the thought of having to babysit his little sister. She placed a hand on his cheek and rubbed her thumb in a circular motion on his whiskered cheeks. "It's only going to be for a little awhile okay? If you need anything go to your dad."
At this, Boruto frowned deeply, "But he's always too busy." He tsked. "Jackass…"
Hinata bit her lip, and clenched her fists. She sighed, wishing she didn't bring up her husband to hear him being insulted by their son. "Boruto…"
Boruto knew that he disappointed his mom again. Yes his relationship with his father was strained but Boruto saw it as the village comes first, then his family. He couldn't understand why anyone would put their family second and as always, his mom would lecture him about how his father sees the village as his family. Either way, Boruto didn't want to see his mom become saddened by his words and especially right before leaving for a mission. He gave her his trademark smile, "Don't worry mom! I'll go to dad if we need anything." He gave her a thumbs up and bolted out of his parent's bedroom.
Yeah right. There's no way in hell I'm going to dad for anything.
Ino and Hinata were walking towards the gates of Konoha until they bumped into Sakura.
"Ah Sakura!" Hinata exclaimed, surprised to see her. "H-How are you feeling?"
"Yeah we heard you're off duty for a month. What's going on forehead?" Ino inquired as she observed Sakura intently, circling her friend and checking for any signs of changes.
Sakura clenched her fist and retorted back. "Nothing Ino-pig." She turned to face Hinata, gently smiling at her, "Don't worry Hinata, nothing is wrong with me." Sakura saw the both of them with their backpacks and headed towards the gate. Huh… She asked, "Are the both of you going on a mission?"
"Yes Sakura-chan. It's a 3-4 week mission." Hinata adjusted her backpack straps as she gave Sakura a strained smile, trying to adjust the straps.
Sakura smiled and walked over to Hinata, "Here let me help you." Sakura grabbed the straps and adjusted the heavy pack for her. She patted Hinata on the shoulders. "There."
Hinata was grateful and bowed. "Thank you Sakura-chan! I was having trouble adjusting it."
"It's all right. Well, I'm not going to hold you up. Be safe you two!"
"We'll fine Sakura. We're strong women right Hinata?" Ino nudged her shoulder and gave her a wink.
Hinata nodded her head vigorously and Sakura let out a wide grin, knowing the two kunoichi are strong and are able to hold their ground.
Guarding the elder wasn't bad at all. The occasional encounter with nukenin did not deter their travels as they fought. However, one encounter left Ino and Hinata worried. During the beginning of the third week, Hinata felt unsteady on her feet while she was battling a nukenin from the Hidden Cloud Village atop the forest trees near Konoha. Her vision blurred and felt very faint. I feel so weak…I don't think I can stand much longer. Just in time, she blocked the enemy's attack with her kunai but the force made her stumble back and she fell off the tree branch.
"Hinata!" Ino shouted as she slit the throat of the nukenin that she was going against. She sprinted towards Hinata and caught her before she hit the ground hard. She noticed that Hinata was struggling to keep her byakugan activated and that her eyelids were half-lidded. Oh no…what's wrong with her? Ino's ear picked up the sound of a twig snapping in half and grabbed three shuriken. She threw them in the direction where she heard the noise and heard the grunt of the nukenin and saw his body fall forward. He was dead.
Ino focused her attention to Hinata, she grabbed water from her backpack and tilted Hinata's chin upward. She settled the water bottle on her lips and slowly let her drink it. "Hinata are you okay?!"
Hinata turned to Ino and gave her a tiny smile. "Y-Yeah Ino. Sorry for the scare. I-I don't know what happened."
Ino frowned and helped Hinata up. "We're just four days away from Konoha okay? If you feel any worse, I'll send for backup."
Hinata shook her head. "T-That won't be necessary. I'm feeling a bit better." She wobbled a bit but Hinata stood up and started walking with her head held up high and confidence in her strut.
Ino observed her carefully before they resumed on their journey back home.
The day Hinata fell faint and onwards to one day away from reaching Konoha, she kept feeling nauseous. She discovered this after eating dinner with Ino at an inn they were staying at and felt bile rise up in her throat from a simple meal. She choked on her onigiri and tried to keep her stomach calm by clutching her abdomen and rocking back and forth.
"Hinata, are you okay?" Ino rubbed her back, worry for her friend.
"Y-Yes Ino. I think I ate something bad…again. Perhaps my food is bad," She shut her eyes so she could concentrate on getting rid of the waves of nausea.
"Hmm I'm worried about you. You've been sick for the past couple of days," Ino commented before continuing on, "Do you think you're pregnant?"
Hinata gave her a small smile, "No Ino, Naruto-kun and I haven't…" she blushed and muttered the rest of her sentence under her breadth.
Ino smirked at Hinata and slyly dropped, "Are you telling me the whole story Lady Hi-na-ta?"
Hinata's cheek turned bright red and she shook her head. "N-N-No Ino!" She felt nauseous again and she excused herself before dumping the contents of her stomach into the toilet. Hinata's hair was getting in the way and she ran her hand in her hair to keep in from falling into the toilet and getting vomit all over.
Ino walked up to the bathroom and yelled through the door, "Don't worry Hinata, we're almost home! It'll just be another day okay?"
She heard Hinata groan before she heard her heave once more.
As they neared the gates, Ino helped Hinata walked as she was feeling absolutely terrible. Her hair was disheveled, she felt sick, and worst of all, she was pale; paler than the moon. Ino spotted Kiba and Shino walking by and called out to them. "Hey you guys! Help me carry Hinata, she's not doing so well!"
Kiba and Shino saw their old teammate leaning against Ino and they rushed over to her to help the young kunoichi with Hinata.
"What happened to her?!" Kiba asked worryingly.
Ino was trying to catch her breath since she had to carry half of Hinata's weight literally. "We…were on a mission. She's been," she huffed out, "feeling sick for the past couple of days. I don't know if she has food poisoning or if she's been poisoned or something. I have no idea."
Shino observed Hinata and mumbled, "Let's take her to Lady Tsunade or Shizune."
Let's back track three weeks ago before the events of Hinata and Ino returning to the village.
The next day Tsunade came in to the hospital, she went to review the medical records of her patients from the previous day. She walked over to her desk and reached for Sakura's file since she had an IUI done. She muttered under her breath, "Okay so the IUI has been done on her." She opened her file and pulled out her chart to sign off the procedure but was stunned to see that in place of the documentation for the IUI were the papers for a pelvic exam and pap smear.
What the…
Tsunade looked through Sakura's file and searched for the paperwork for the IUI. As she kept looking past each page, her search was becoming bleaker. Okay so her paperwork isn't here. Where could I have put them? She grabbed the documentation for the pelvic exam and Pap smear and tsked. I must have written down the wrong patient identifiers or just mixed up the paperwork with somebody else's. Tsunade clicked her tongue in annoyance and sauntered off in search of Shizune.
She stalked the halls searching for her assistant and found her eating in the breakroom. "SHIZUNE!"
Shizune choked on her food and her eyes widened in surprise. "Ts-Tsunade-sama! What's wrong?"
Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "What's wrong is that you had to leave me with your patients yesterday since you were sick and I was stuck dealing with the paperwork afterwards." She showed Shizune Sakura's medical records. "I believe I mixed up her paperwork with someone else's or wrote the wrong patient identifiers. You're going to help me look for them."
Shizune gave her a weary look. "Um, Lady Tsunade…how are we going to split this?"
Tsunade gave her an annoyed look, "I'll take over my patients and you take yours."
So they began to pull out the medical records of the patients from the previous day and as Shizune was having little luck, she pulled out Hinata's file and looked through it. Her eyebrows were raised in a questioning manner. "Oh?" She noticed that on her paperwork from yesterday, it was documented that she received an IUI. Realization dawned on Shizune and she dropped her medical records in horror.
Tsunade couldn't have mixed up the procedure with the Pap could she…? It must be a mislabel or the wrong paperwork in her file. Shizune tried to reassure herself and also tried to gather her wits as she hoped that Tsunade did NOT make such gathered the scattered paperwork and briskly walked away from her office to find Tsunade.
She found her angrily going through the paperwork and grunting once in a while in frustration.
"Tsunade-sama! I found in Hinata's file that she received an IUI. I'm assuming that you mixed up the paperwork…?" Shizune mentioned, hoping that was the case.
If only Shizune knew…
As Tsunade snatched the paperwork from Shizune's hands, her eyes began to widen in horror as she remembered yesterday's events.
Oh no…no no no no no! Tsunde was mentally cursing herself. No…why did I drink two nights before? God damn hangover. Tsunade's hands were shaking as she vaguely remembered that she had went to see Hinata first with Sasuke's sample.
"Tsunade-sama what's wrong?"
She leaned against the wall and rubbed her temples with her eyes closed. She intentionally ignored Shizune's question because she didn't want to tell her that she inseminated Hinata with Sasuke's sample.
"Tsunade-"
Oh my god. Tsunade was feeling weight of her stress and Shizune calling for her was not helping. Tsunade didn't want anyone to know what she believes what happened but reason convinced her to let Shizune in on what's going on.
Tsunade took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Shizune…I may have accidently artificially inseminated Hinata with Sasuke's sperm." Tsunade waited anxiously for her to response.
Shizune's expression was blank until her jaw slacked and she yelled, "WHAT?! Tsunade-sama are you telling me that Hinata has received an IUI instead of her pelvic exam and pap smear? Am I hearing you correctly?" She watched Tsunade, hoping she was wrong because then that means her fear has been confirmed.
Tsunade just gritted her teeth. "Yes Shizune you hear me! I know! I know! I know what I did and now I have to correct it."
"Tsunade how could this happen? Wha-" Shizune began to ramble but was silenced.
"I was hungover. It…was the anniversary of Dan's death two days ago." She whispered as she hung her head low, her bangs covering her eyes.
Shizune sighed and didn't press further. Tsunade's mistake couldn't be ignored though. Hinata might be pregnant…with Sasuke's child. Shizune shuddered thinking about how he might react if he found out that Hinata was artificially inseminated with his sample…or if she is pregnant. Shizune shook the thoughts from her head and immediately sprang into action, "Tsunade-sama, you must find Hinata."
Tsunade nodded her head. She needs to know as soon as possible. She stormed off with Shizune calling out to her but she ignored her as she headed straight to the Hokage's office.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Naruto!" Tsunade barged in and stalked towards him. "Where is Hinata?"
Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Why baa-chan?"
Tsunade's vein was visibly throbbing and her eyebrow twitched, "Well, I wanted to speak to her about her results."
Naruto's face held worry, as she mentioned her results, "Is something wrong? First it's Sakura-chan and now something's up with Hinata?"
Tsunade was becoming impatient. "Just tell me where she is!"
Naruto was taken aback by her outburst and raised his hands up. "She's on a mission I sent her on with Ino." He kepts his arms raised in a surrendering manner, hoping Tsunade wouldn't go on a rampage in his office.
Tsunade let out a frustrated sigh. "When is she coming back?"
Naruto blinked at her, "Not for another three weeks."
Tsunade shut her eyes and resisted the urge to scream at the absurdity of the situation. "What rank?"
At the question, Naruto raised an eyebrow. "B-rank...Why?" His words trailed off as he crossed his arms, expecting her to answer his question.
Tsunade shook her head and left his office, ignoring Naruto's shouting. She felt bad for thinking about what was on her mind but she hoped the mission was stressful enough where she miscarried or even better, there was no conception at all. There was about a 20% chance that there would be no conception so she was hoping she would never have to tell Hinata about her tremendous blunder.
So Tsunade waited for Hinata to come back from the mission.
This brings us back to the present where Hinata is feeling quite weak and horrible overall. She felt faint and she kept feeling her legs were giving out just from standing. Luckily Kiba was carrying her bridal style because she could not walk at the moment.
They neared Konoha hospital and Hinata was laying on the patient bed. Ino, Kiba, and Shino were waiting outside patiently for her. They saw Shizune quickly walk towards Hinata's room and noticed that she had a worried look on her face.
Ino was the first one to speak. "Did you notice how Shizune looked? Do you think Hinata is okay?"
Kiba sighed and looked at Shino, "I think so. Hinata is pretty strong."
"Perhaps Shizune has other things on her mind," Shino mentioned softly.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Shizune entered the exam room and gave Hinata a smile. "Hi Hinata! How are you?"
Hinata gave her a weak smile, "I've been better."
Shizune sat beside her. "Tell me, what are you symptoms?"
Hinata inhaled and began, "W-Well, I've been feeling nauseous lately and I fell faint twice, once while battling nukenin from the Hidden Cloud Village and at the gates of Konoha. I thought it was food poisoning but now I'm not so sure…" She trailed off.
Shizune was mentally crying. Those were common symptoms of pregnancy; fainting spells and nausea. Maybe Hinata was poisoned by the missing nin or maybe she did have a really bad case of food poisoning. She could only hope. She placed a hand on Hinata's arm. "We'll take some bloodwork okay?" She handed Hinata a urine cup. "Please fill up to here and return that to me okay?" She pointed to the marking on the cup and left Hinata to provide her sample.
Once that was done, Shizune began to draw her blood and left her to perform the analysis.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Shizune ran to find Tsunade and found her at her office, filling out paperwork. "Tsunade-sama! Hinata is here!"
Tsunade immediately stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Shizune sighed and told her, "She has had fainting spells and nausea for the past couple of days now. I'm going to run her bloodwork and urine just to be sure she's not…pregnant."
Tsunade leaned against her table, feeling an oncoming headache and said, "Run her labs STAT and et me know if anything comes up abnormal and IF SHE'S PREGNANT!"
"Yes Tsunade-sama."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Shizune paced around the laboratory, waiting for the results of Hinata's bloodwork. She kept staring at the clock and watched as time ticked by. It was taunting her, giving her more anxiety than she's ever experienced at Konoha Hospital.
A nurse came to her and brought Hinata's urine. "Shizune, here is her urine sample. Did you want to run a pregnancy test?"
Shizune froze. She stared at the sample and she felt the room become hot. Her hand twitched and she inhaled. So help me, if Hinata is pregnant, I-I-I'll – I don't know even know what I would do. Shizune inhaled through her nose and shook her head. Okay Shizune, calm down. It's probably nothing. She shakily put on her gloves and reached for the urine sample and grabbed it. She gave the nurse a thin smile, and swiftly turned on her heels to walk away from her.
She set the sample down and grabbed a pregnancy test strip and raised it to her eye level. Please don't be pregnant. The sharingan flashed in her mind and she prayed to the gods that she was not carrying Sasuke's child. She secretly hoped that she had intercourse with Naruto within the timeframe if she was pregnant.
She dipped the white strip into the urine and pulled it out slowly.
This is…
Pink.
Shizune's face became expressionless as she brought the strip back to her eye level once more. "Well, there it is. This pink strip is so unholy." She flicked the strip hoping it would turn clear again but alas, it was only wishful thinking.
A young male nurse walked into the laboratory and saw her flicking the strip. "That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. That is one doodle that can't be undid, homeskillet." He barked out a laughter that made Shizune want to curl into a ball and disappear. "Are yah pregnant?"
"NO now get out!"
Shizune tossed the pregnancy test into the biological hazard bin and headed towards Hinata's room.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Shizune sat down with Hinata. She began to tell her the news. "Fainting spell and nausea solved. You're pregnant."
Hinata whipped her head to stare at Shizune to see if she was joking. "Sh-Shizune-san, that's not funny. I-I really want to know what's wrong with me." Hinata gave her a frown and felt another wave of nausea coursing through her body.
"Well Hinata, we tested your urine." Shizune crossed her arms, her voice trying to sound authoritative.
"That can't be right."
"False negatives are frequent but false positives are rare." Shizune nervously glanced at Hinata. She continued on, "Have you had sexual intercourse with Naruto lately?" Within the past month?"
Hinata blushed and shook her head. "N-No n-not recently. That's why I can't be pregnant."
"Maybe we need to talk with Naruto."
"Shizune I-I want another test. I-I-I think you're wrong," Hinata stated with such authority, Shizune nodded in agreement.
Please let it be a false positive.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
45 minutes later after Hinata drank a lot of water and provided her with another urine sample, Shizune grabbed a pregnancy test strip and dipped it into her urine in front of Hinata. When she pulled it out, the strip turned pink.
"Pink means you're pregnant."
Hinata stared at the test and at Shizune incredulously. "B-B-But I haven't had sex in over a month!" Hinata covered her face in horror. "H-How is this p-possible? It must be a hormonal irregularity…"
Shizune commented offhandedly, "Or pregnancy hormones."
"N-No…that's not possible. I-I want to speak with Lady Tsunade because I-I can't be pregnant!" Hinata yelled out, surprised at herself for losing control.
Shizune backed away. "I'm…going to call Naruto as well so he can be with you." She left the exam room to fetch Tsunade.
As Shizune was about to walk into her office she saw Sakura and Sasuke speaking with her. Okay…this is definitely not good. She's going to break the news. She didn't want to think about Sakura's or Sasuke's fury.
She heard a knock on her office door. Tsunade rubbed her temples and let out a grunt. "Come in!"
The door opened to reveal Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura was fiddling with the hem of her shirt in anxiousness.
Tsunade sat in front of Sasuke and Sakura. The creases on her forehead were becoming more prominent as she stared at the two – well mostly at Sakura because she felt devastated for her. She glanced at the Uchiha who had an impassive façade on his face, his leg bouncing up and down. She thumped her thumbs on her yin seal repeatedly as she tried to come up with the best possible way to lessen the blow for the both of them. She also didn't want to face the Uchiha's wrath as well.
"Tsunade-sama, is it too early to detect this pregnancy? Should I come back in another two weeks?" Sakura asked, worry etched into her face.
Ah Sakura, her brightest pupil and someone who Tsunade came to see as her own daughter. She sighed. "Well you see..." She let out a shaky breath and gulped at about what she was going to say, "I used Sasuke's specimen on the wrong person."
It became very silent that a pin drop could be heard – that is until Sakura shrieked.
"E-Eh?!"
"You what?" Sasuke asked vehemently, dark and lowly.
Tsunade begrudgingly faced the Uchiha. "I inseminated a women with your sperm…mistakenly."
Before Sasuke was able to speak, the door slammed open. Shizune entered, looking frazzled. "Tsunade-sama it's urgent!" Shizune had a panicked look on her face and she glanced at the Uchiha's in nervousness and gulped.
"Excuse me…" Tsunade hastily made her way out of her office to avoid the mess she has made.
Both Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other. They both were thinking the same exact thing.
What could more important than this mishap?
They both stood up and followed Tsunade.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Tsunade was thankful to be out of her office momentarily avoiding the Uchiha's before realizing she was jumping into another boiling pot of hot water. She opened the door into the exam room and saw Hinata and Naruto.
"Hi Hinata – eh? Naruto what are you doing here?" She looked between the two, "Is this a kage bunshin?" she asked.
Hinata spoke, "No Lady Tsunade, this is the real Naruto. We are both very concerned currently. I went down to see Shizune to see what was wrong with me and she took blood work and a urine test that came back positive for pregnancy. I-It's not possible!" Hinata's hands were trembling. She was absolutely terrified of what Naruto might be thinking. Hinata knew she has been faithful this whole time. She has never slept with another man besides her husband. She prayed to whomever was in heaven and begged this be a hormonal irregularity.
Tsunade grabbed a stool that was in the room and sat down. She crossed her legs and clasped her hands together on her knee, slightly rocking back and forth before breaking the news. "Well Hinata, there is a reason," Tsunade mentioned calmly although she felt anything but.
Naruto and Hinata waited impatiently for what she was going to say.
"The reason the test came back positive is because I accidently inseminated you two weeks ago."
"YOU WHAT?!" Naruto yelled out.
"Shut up Naruto!" Tsunade yelled back, frustrated at her medical mistake and that she was being cornered. "It was a mistake! I made a horrible mistake and there was only a 20% chance that it would take so I thought – well hoped – that you would never know." Tsunade rubbed her temples and continued on, "but things turned out differently," she spoke softly as she gazed at Hinata sympathetically.
Hinata's eyes slowly widened and she could only stare at Tsunade in horror. It was as if time stopped and the room was spinning very slowly and then not at all. She gaped like a fish out of water trying to form words but nothing would come out. Her breathing became erratic as she turned away from both Naruto and Tsunade to stare at the floor. Her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion and she forced herself to inhale…exhale…inhale…exhale. Her attempt to stabilize her breathing was interrupted by Tsunade's voice.
"I'm so sorry Hinata."
"You're sorry?!" Naruto exclaimed. "How could this happen?!" he fisted his hair and clenched his fists tight, not wanting to believe that his wife was pregnant with a child that was NOT his. Not only was the baby not his, he didn't even know who it belonged to.
"Naruto calm down!" Tsunade stared him down but Naruto's look of discontent was not wavering. As she broke their gaze, she took out a bottle from her pocket. "This is a prescription for a pill that you could take and Hinata," Tsunade grabbed Hinata's trembling hands, "you are under NO obligation to take this if you don't want to. You don't even have to consult the father but he does know about what has happened." She rubbed her thumbs over the back of Hinata's hands in a circular motion to calm her nerves. Tsunade gave her a relaxed smile and continued on, "I mean you can go ahead and just nip this thing in the bud. Because you know, they say pregnancy often leads to… an infant."
If Naruto could burn her with his stare, he would. He scowled at her. "How can you be so nonchalant and joke-"
"The father…he knows? W-w-who is the father?" Hinata asked mostly to herself but both Naruto and Tsunade heard her question.
Naruto and Tsunade were startled as the door was kicked open. Sasuke and Sakura stood out in the hallway staring at Naruto and Hinata.
"Sakura! You know this is a violation of patient privacy-"
"I know!" She angrily exclaimed. She didn't care. She wanted answers from Tsunade and she wanted them now.
Hinata hadn't noticed their entrance as she was lost in her thoughts. Her eyes were devoid of emotion.
"Tsunade-sama…"
All eyes focused on the petite Hyuuga.
"Who is the father?" She asked, her eyes locking with Tsunade's amber ones.
Oh no, Sakura thought. No this cannot be happening. Please don't let it be what I think it is. Sakura's stomach began to sink and she felt a burning sensation in her eyes. She felt the oncoming waves of tears.
Tsunade closed her eyes and reopened them. "It's…Sasuke."
Sakura covered her mouth in horror and Naruto's eyes were as wide as saucers.
Hinata blinked and fell forward. She was caught by Naruto who held her in his arms as his worried face was in close proximity to hers. She turned her head away from Naruto's face and looked at Sasuke.
His eyes were narrowed, rigid, cold, hard. In that moment Hinata knew he was already far away. She was the enemy. Hinata knew his states had no greyscale, only the polar extremes existed when it came to Sasuke. She drew in a shaky breath. The burning hard stare would last only as long as it took him to think of the most brutally cutting thing he could tear her down with.
Tearing her gaze away from him, she felt faint and proceeded to close her eyes, passing out in her husband's arms.
Hinata is someone who does not hold grudges but as she laid passed out in Naruto's arms, she dreamed of strangling Tsunade
On the day she found out she was pregnant with Sasuke's child, she held her first grudge.
HEYYY! So Hinata finds out she's pregnant! Now the juicy stuff about come forth yay! Please forgive my horrible edits. I rushed through this chapter badly and I had it half-finished a while ago but I was busy with stuff and didn't have time to make as much corrections as I wanted to. Anyway, more stuff is to come and there will be more Sasuke and Hinata interaction in the next chapter and so forth so be happy about that! WOOO
Please review!
