Hiashi nodded calculatedly.

"I see." he said gravely

He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, this complicates things." he sighed.

Tsunade shook her head.

"Not at all. In fact, it makes our descision for us." she said seriuosly.

Hiashi looked at Tsunade curiously. She looked at him seriuosly.

"If the Koizumi Clan wages war against you, I'll do what I can. Hinata-sama must not die now. She has a child that she must raise, by the way things looked today, on her own." Tsunae said finally.

Hiashi closed his eyes and sighed.

"I can tell by that look on your face that there will be no changing your mind." he said annoyed.

He looked up at Tsunade at nodded.

"Alright, then. It's decided. We will declare war. I just hope you know what you're doing. " he said.

Tsunade bowed and walked out of the room. She was going to leave, but instead she went into Hinata's room. Hinata had calmed down considerably. She sat on her bed, staring out the window, fidgeting with her fingers. Tsunade knocked on the frame of the door.

"Come in." Hinata said sadly.

Tsunade came and sat on the other side of the bed.

"So, what exactly happened?" Tsunade asked.

Hinata sniffed.

"I yelled at him. I don't know why, but I did. He's been so sweet throughout this whole thing...and I treated him so badly." Hinata anwered quiveringly.

Tsunade sighed.

"I don't doubt it. One of the wonderful things about being pregnant is that your horomones go all out of wack. Naruto probably said something stupid and it set you off."

Hinata was silent for a moment.

"Do you think...he'll forgive me/" she asked quietly.

Tsunade chuckled.

"Naruto-kun? Of course! He's probably beating himself up about this whole thing thinking it's his fault. Heck, if you wait for a while, you might even get some appology candy out of the deal." Tsunade joked.

Hinata laughed. She turned around to look at Tsunade.

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama." she said gratefully.

Tsunade smiled.

"Don't mention it." she said as she got up to leave.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Tsunade exlaimed.

She turned and looked at Hinata.

"I just got done speaking with your father. In light of your actual pregnancy, he's decided to go to war against the Kiozumi Clan to win your freedom." she announced.

Hinata's heart leapt. Tears sprung to her eyes.

"You mean..."

Tsunade nodded and winked.

"Go get you man, HInata-chan." she said playfully.

HInata got up and glomped Tsunade before rushing out of the house. Tsunade rolled her eyes. That girl was easily excitable before. Pregnacy just make her more bold.

Hinata ran for Naruto's appartment as fast as she could. Naruto was standing outside, leaning against the doorframe. When he saw Hinata running toward him he stepped out, shocked.

"Hinata-ch-Oof!"

Hinata threw herself at Naruto. He caught her in his arms. She wraped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"It's alright, Naruto-kun. Everything is going to be fine!" she said happily.

Naruto looked at her, confused.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

He put Hinata down. She clutched the front of his shirt and looked up at him happily.

"Tsunade talked to Chichi-san. He going to go to war to save me, Naruto-kun! We can get married and have a long, happy life together." she said.

Naruto smiled, his eyes sparkling. He picked Hinata up at the waist and twirled her around.

"Oh, this is GREAT, Hinata-chan!" he said happily.

Hinata laughed and threw her arms out. Naruto stopped spinning. Hinata put her hands on his head. He let her down slowly. Her hands went from the top of his head, down his neck , and came to rest on his shoulders. Naruto smiled down at Hinata and she batted her eyes. They kissed, blissfully unaware of anyone else.

Sakura stared at the happy couple, hot tears pricking her eyes. She had come to ask Naruto to have Ramen with her and talk. It was someting that she and Naruto had always done. Until now. She quickly turned away from them and ran home. Things were happening too quickly. Naruto was finally growing up. And Sakura didn't like it.

Naruto pulled away from Hinata. He reached in his back pocket and fished out the ring again. He grabbed her hand and slipped it back on. He smiled at her.

"Do I have to ask again?" he asked playfully.

Hinata giggled.

"I love hearing you say it." she said.

Naruto brushed her hair back and cupped her head in his hand. He kissed her softly then smiled.

"Hinata-chan, my precious love and mother of my child, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he asked in a steamy tone.

Weather out of force of habit or because she was genuinely embarrassed, Hinata blushed.

"Yes, Naruto-kun, father of my child and my one true love forever, I will marry you." she said in a silky tone.

Within a week, everybody knew that Hinata was really pregnant. And nobody guessed twice at who the father was. Naruto also made it very clear that if anyone had a bad word to say about Hinata, they'd have to file all complaints to him and pay the consequnces. It didn't completely stop people from talking, but at least they made double sure that neither Naruto nor Hinata was around. They also knew better than to mention anything about it around Sakura or Neji. It was a definate buzz button with them. One poor, uinknowing soul mentioned to Sakura that he had thought she and Naruto had been a couple at one point. 5 fractured ribs, 3 broken, internal bleeding in three major organs, loss of feeling in manhood for three hours, partial cuncusion, broken leg, shattered scapula, and a nasty looking bruise in the shape of Sakura's fist on his cheek. Tsunade reprimanded her by forcing her to play a game of one on one dodgeball. With bowling balls.

Hinata went to see Tsunade every two weeks for a check-up. At the fourteen week mark, Tsunade used her healing skils to do a more thourough inspection. Naruto was there, holding Hinata's hand the entire time. He became worried when Tsunade looked puzzled.

"What is it, Tsunade-hime?" he asked.

Tsunade's eyes grew wide. She smiled at Naruto.

"Well it's good news: The babies are both happy and healthy." she said chipperly.

Naruto nearly exploded. Hinata was stunned beyond all beleif.

"Ts-Ts-Tsunade-sama...did you say...b-b-b-both?" she asked.

Tsunade put her hands on her hips and grinned widely.

"Yep! Naruto shoots and he scores! Two perfect bullseyes!" she said, on the verge of cracking up.
