-Chapter Ten-
"Mom!" Kiyoshi Hyuga whined to his mother. The small boy bounded up and down as his mother directed her attention to him. "Where is dad? He said he would teach me a new technique today!" Tenten scanned the surrounding area but didn't she her husband.
"I'm not sure, Kiyoshi." The five-year-old crossed his arms and spun around.
"Byakugan," he muttered, activating his Kekkai Genkkai. Once he located his father, the young one ran out of the room hastily. Tenten turned back to look at Hinata, which had her two-year-old daughter sitting on the edge of her knees. The little girl knew better than to lean back since her relative was pregnant.
"You're fat!" the brunette girl giggled, twisting so that she could see Hinata. "You going to have a boy or girl?"
"I'm not sure yet," Hinata responded, throwing her cousin's daughter a warm smile. "Sakura is going to do an ultra-sound in a couple of months and tell me what it's going to be."
"What's an ultra-sound?"
Hinata and Tenten glanced at each other, not really knowing how to explain it to a child so young. When Hinata didn't answer, the girl turned her head so that she was looking at her mother.
"It's a test, Mitsuko," the woman explained. "A test that allows you to see into someone's stomach and look at what is in there." Mitsuko nodded in understanding then patted Hinata's stomach gently.
"I hope you a girl," Mitsuko said softly, her hand remaining on the woman's stomach. "Then Hinata can have boy." The girl was smiling weakly at the stomach of Hinata.
"Let me out of here!" Sakura screamed, trying to push past her mother. Hinata and Mikoto had suggested that the three of them go into the bedroom to have a little talk. Neither of the women would let Sakura out of the room, and Sasuke was downstairs reading a book, which happened to be his favorite thing to do these days. There was a very slim chance he would come to help his wife.
"Sit down!" Hinata bellowed, snapping her arm out and pointing at a chair in the corner of the room. After a couple minutes of arguing with Hinata, the pink-haired woman finally sat down. Arguing with a woman that was now five months pregnant was not a good idea.
Sakura's green orbs were staring at the ground and her face was extremely pale. She placed her hands in her lap and waited for one of the two standing in the room to start talking.
"We're worried about you," Mikoto finally blurted out.
"Why?" Sakura asked so softly that the two could hardly hear what she was saying. Hinata went over to her and tugged on the shirt Sakura was wearing, which happened to be one of Sasuke's shirts. It was very loose on the woman.
"First of all, I want to know why you're wearing this shirt," Hinata snorted.
"I got dressed in the dark." Sakura knew what they were trying to do. The two women were trying to back her into a corner. Hinata backed away so that Sakura felt somewhat comfortable again.
"We're worried about you because you haven't been yourself lately," Hinata sighed. "The only place you leave this house to go to is work. We even talked to Sasuke one day and he is even worried about you. He says that you seem distant, like something is bothering you and that you spend a lot of time in the bathroom."
"Sakura," Mikoto whispered. "Are you depressed?" She wasn't sure why, but the question made Sakura feel like laughing. Depressed? Yeah right, Sakura hardly ever got depressed, and when she was, her depression only lasted for about two hours.
And then the laughter came. Sakura erupted with laughter, tears forming in her eyes from laughing so hard. She loved the two very much for caring so much about her.
"Depressed?" she breathed between laughs. "I'm not depressed. I love my life and hardly anything ever goes wrong. What is there to be depressed about?"
Mikoto and Hinata smiled at her, waiting patiently for the woman to calm down. After another minute of laughing, Sakura finally calmed down.
"Seriously, Sakura, what is wrong with you?" Hinata questioned. "Are you sick?"
"I'll show you what is wrong with me." Sakura stood up slowly then blinked a couple of times. "You want to know what is wrong with me? You want to know why I've been spending so much time in the bathroom and wearing Sasuke's shirts?" She turned to the side and lifted the shirt halfway up, letting the two see her slightly rounded stomach.
"Wh-What?" Mikoto stammered. Hinata's mouth was hanging open slightly.
"I was-" Sakura tried to say. She couldn't seem to find the right words. "I was, umm, going to tell you two sometime soon." She let the shirt fall to it's normal length then went over to Hinata. "I'm sorry about how I got mad at you when we were talking that one day in the bathroom. You know, when I was staying at your house?" Hinata nodded, remembering that day very clearly. "I really was sick, but I was also pregnant. I have been for two months and I just found out two weeks ago."
"My second grandchild!" Mikoto finally exclaimed once her moment of shock was over. She threw her arms around Hinata in a hug, then hugged Sakura. After that, she just stood there, fidgeting.
"So he finally said something?" Hinata chuckled.
"Umm..." Sakura became uncomfortable again, her face turning red. "Not that I know of. We didn't really talk about it or plan on it."
The three of them then dropped the subject as if nothing had happened. Mikoto and Hinata knew Sakura would have a hard time telling Sasuke about it since he hadn't been expecting to have a baby just yet.
"Anyways," Mikoto muttered. "Do you all want to have dinner at my house tonight?" Sakura and Hinata nodded as a response.
"After dinner, how about we beat the men at a game?" Hinata suggested with a devilish grin. She and Sakura gave each other high fives and Mikoto laughed loudly. It seemed like a great plan.
