I'm updating sooner than I had planned due to the massive snowstorm that is currently hitting my state. I'm afraid the power will go out or something, and I wanted to post this tomorrow. Oh well. Enjoy the chapter and please review!

To my reviewer Hot Topic: I already have a lot of chapters typed up, but I'm going to start adding Kakashi into the story and everything. He may not pop up in the story until a couple chapters from now, but I promise you that he will definitely be in there, as well as other characters from Naruto, not just the Uchiha's.


-Chapter Four-

"The tea almost shot out my nose," Sakura exclaimed weakly to Hinata the next day as the two strolled down the street towards Hinata's and Itachi's house with grocery bags. Hinata started giggling lightheartedly as she shifted the bags from one hand to the other.

"You never know," Hinata sighed after her giggles died away. "Maybe he was going to say 'baby' but chickened out at the last second."

"No." Sakura shook her head frantically. "He meant to say the word 'snack' from the first moment he started saying that sentence."

After the two women were in the house of Itachi and Hinata, they started to put the groceries away. Sakura had finally gotten her groceries without being taken to the hospital before she could buy them. A couple people that had been at the store the other day had been there again. Each of them had stared Sakura down as if they were scolding her for being immature. Most of Konoha had found out about the incident at the grocery store between Mikoto and Sakura. One old man in particular stared Sakura down at the grocery store that day. He had placed one hand on the edge of a shelf to balance himself then pointed his cane at her and given her the evil eye. Sakura had flinched at the evil eye, wondering if the old man was insane or just plain angry with her immatureness. What she didn't know was that he had almost been run over by Mikoto that day. If it had been Mikoto walking through the store with Hinata, that old man would have given her the beating of her life.

"Well why not?" Sasuke fumed as he and Itachi made their way into the kitchen. "I'm going to be a good uncle! Are you saying you don't trust me?"

"No, what I'm saying is that my child will be spoiled by your wife!" Itachi answered, pulling a chair out from the table and plopping down. "Did you ever see her babysit for Tenten and Neji? She feeds them ice cream for breakfast! They're going to be so fat that people will think they're part of the Akamichi family!"

Sakura stomped over and whapped her brother-in-law on the head. "I didn't feed them ice cream from breakfast! They're lactose intolerant, Itachi! Just because you're afraid your child will like me more than you doesn't mean you have to make stuff up to make me look bad!"

Itachi rubbed his head where she had hit him then shot her the most hateful death glare he had ever shot anyone. That made her back away and start helping Hinata with the groceries once again.

"I'm not sure how to be a father!" Itachi said softly, massaging his temples. Sasuke sat down across from him and grinned.

"If they cry, feed them. If they poop, change their diaper. If they can't get to sleep, read them a book. It sounds simple enough to me."

"It's not that simple, Sasuke," Itachi groaned. "I had to take care of you when mom and dad were out on missions. When you were a baby I didn't know how to make you shut up. I thought about locking you in the closet one time then realized that you might die in there and decided not to."

Sasuke's eyes were wide. "Was I that annoying?" Itachi nodded then snickered a bit.

"You were so annoying that I even thought about giving you to the neighbors one day. Not just to watch you for a while, but to keep you forever."

"Thanks a lot," Sasuke huffed, crossing his arms. "Just because I was cuter than you didn't mean you had to be mean to me!"

"Sasuke," Hinata interrupted. "I think you must have hit your head on something this morning. What you meant was that Itachi didn't have to be mean to you because you were uglier than him, right? I personally don't think anyone could be cuter than my husband."

"Oh whatever," Sakura said, jumping into the conversation. "My husband is cuter and you know it." Hinata's head very slowly turned to look face Sakura. A deadly smirk was on the womans face. "Wait, Hinata, I'm going to have to agree with you." Sakura had changed her mind just in time.

"Sakura!" Sasuke exclaimed, twisting in the chair to gaze at her. "You think Itachi is better looking than me?"

"Sasuke," Sakura said slowly. "If I don't agree with Hinata she's going to get very angry at me. Pregnant women get angry very easily and have major mood swings." Hinata's head then slowly turned to face Sasuke. "I suggest you agree with her too before she kills you."

The man stole a glance at Hinata and cringed. That look she was giving him was horrifying. "I agree with you, Hinata," he choked out.

Itachi was now beaming and Hinata's deadly expression faded away into one of victory. "The advantages of being pregnant are wonderful," the woman chimed giddily. Sakura stared at her blankly for a moment.

"But once you have the baby everything will change back to normal. You won't always win arguments anymore." Sakura raised an eyebrow as Hinata's deadly expression returned.

"Are you sure?"

Sakura decided to test her pregnant relative. "Positive." The room was dead silent. The pearl-eyed woman then grabbed a tomato from one of Sakura's grocery bags and smashed it on her best friends face. The pink-haired kunoichi gasped and raised her hands to try and wipe the goop off of her face.

"Hinata!" Sakura shouted.

"Hinata!" Sasuke shouted after Sakura did. "You just wasted a perfectly good tomato! I was going to eat that later!"

"If you don't shut up I might waste another one on you," she warned. Itachi held back laughter as Sasuke and Sakura remained silent for a long time after that.
