Chapter Three:

"Come here you little puppy!"

The Inuzuka patriarch happily held her one month old grandson, the baby giggled with her playfully. Ino couldn't help but smile, her heart warmed every time Tsume and Hana pay some time to visit her and the baby, she is touched to their fondness towards her son Ichirou.

"This little rascal looks exactly like… his father."

Tsume spoke slowly. And again, a familiar emptiness and grief appears on Ino's face.

"Mom! Shut up! You're making Ino upset!"

Hana turn a worried glare to her, she just smile sadly, trying to avoid her tears to fall down, it's been almost two months since Kiba passed away, she hate it but she's still too sensitive about hearing something that reminds her of him. The fang of sadness, being alone and the pain of his sudden death is still fresh in her heart. Her only consolation is Ichirou, and she's very thankful that she had him. He gave her hope and reason to continue to live.

"I-Ino… I'm sorry."

She just nodded at her mother in law and smiled weakly.

"I… I miss him so much mom."

She bit her lower lip, still fighting the urge to cry, but she can't hold it any longer, she covered her face and begins to cry. She felt soft arms around her, the embrace was warm and full of sympathy,. She knew it was Hana.

"Shh.. stop crying, We miss him too.."

She gently caressed the widow's back, trying her very best to console her.

"I-I'm sorry nii-chan… I just..-"

Ino was interrupted by the consistent loud knocks on the door, she quickly composed herself and wiped the tears off her face and hurriedly ran to open the door. Only to see the pink haired medical ninja.

"Ino, we need your help at the hospital, please come with me."

It wasn't a request, it was a command, she absentmindedly held her chest, she felt something strange seeing Sakura in this very early, looks like she haven't sleep yet, she look so worn out and stressed.

"Will you please tell me what happened?"

Sakura lowered her eyes, and let out a deep sigh.

"Tenten did not make it…" She spoke wretchedly as she lowered her gaze.

"She died last night during her child birth."

"W-What?"

Ino stood dead on her tracks, her body weakened on that terrible news, she just froze in shock.

"N-no way… Tenten.." She whispered, her chest gotten heavy of her friend's sudden death.

"Please Ino, I need your help, please come with me."

Still shocked, she just nodded and shot a short glare to Tsume and Hana.

"We'll take care of Ichirou, you can go Ino."

That's all that she wanted to hear from Tsume, they hurriedly ran their feet to the hospital.

"Hows the baby?" Ino manage to ask Sakura while they are on their way to the hospital.

"He is fine, but he's weak, we tried to give him bottled milk last night but unfortunately, he's not taking it, your breast feeding Ichirou right?"

She nodded, and that answer her question, she knew that she need to feed the baby, she moved as fast as she can so she can arrive at the hospital as soon as possible, her mother instinct is jolting her whole system.

Her heart crushed when she saw Tenten's lifeless body on the hospital bed, Beside her was Neji holding the crying baby, he was just looking at his wife blankly while caressing his son. At first, she's hesitant to come closer, but she can't stand the loud cry of the infant. She drew closer and gave Neji a warm pat on his shoulder. He stiffened for a moment, not even bother to look at her.

"Neji…"

She sighs and held the baby, his reflexes tightened, as he hold his son possessively.

"Neji I have to feed him… Please give him to me."

She was relieved when Neji loosen his arms to allow her to get the child, she almost cry in pity to the poor skinny newborn in her arms, surprisingly it stops from crying and stare at her directly, she bit her lower lip, her heart soften in a deep sympathy for this child, he look so pale and hungry, she sat at the nearby stool and started to lose her robe and began to feed the baby. Her fingers trailed on his face, he's definitely exact replica of Neji, brown shiny hair, lavender eyes, small nose and lips, she gave him a warm smile. She gradually set her eyes on Neji, he was still staring quietly at his wife's lifeless body, a familiar pang of pain hits her again, she definitely understand how he feels right now.

She just watched him silently, her heart was breaking in the sight of Hyuga's sorrow. She stood and fixed herself, the baby is now sleeping innocently.

"Neji, I have to take the baby to the nursery so that he can get a good sleep, I'll take care of him."

It took a moment before Neji nodded for an answer.

"T-hank you… Ino."

He whispered, still looking directly to his wife. Ino just gave him another sympathetic gaze before she leaves.

She managed to made six bottles of her milk for Hyuga Kenji, and placed it on the warmer to keep it sealed and fresh, Good thing that she made enough for Ichirou before she left, she always manage to have an extra bottle for her son if she was needed to go outside.

She just silently stare at Neji, she never saw him cry, she never heard him utter any word during the memorial ceremony, sure she wanted to help him out. She wanted to help him to let go of the hard feelings that he's keeping inside. She knows how it feels. And it's painful like hell. Their family and friends are starting to head home, Ino waited patiently to be alone with Neji who just staring at Tenten's grave. She drew closer and placed her hand to his shoulder.

"You don't have to hold it back Neji… I know it's hard, but let it go."

She spoke slowly, hardening her touch to his shoulder, Neji just remained quiet.

"I you want to cry for her… then cry…"

She could feel him relaxed for a moment, his shoulder began to tremble. And now he's crying, the high and mighty Hyuga Neji is crying, Ino just let him cry, letting him lessen his pain inside, it was her first time to see him in such a fragile condition, he's down on bended knees, crying while caressing his wife's grave. She kneel down and stroke his back trying to console him, and now she's silently crying with him. She just found herself embracing him with all of her sympathy, he just continue crying and rested his face on her shoulder. She just stroke his back gently, assuring that he is not alone. They don't know how long they had been on that position, Ino is the first one to let go of the embrace when she felt that he's ready enough to stand. She placed her hands on his face and look at his eyes.

"I think we have to go Neji, it's getting late…Kenji is waiting for you in the hospital, you need to take a rest also."

He just simply nodded and helped her to stand.

"Thank you Ino." His voice stuttered in combination of exhaustion and grief.

Ino carefully placed Ichirou to his crib, she smiled as she watched him sleeping peacefully.

"Good night my little dog-boy."

She slowly gave him a soft kiss before she head towards the living room, Tsume and Hana already left, they informed her about their mission tomorrow morning so they have to go home early. She watched the heavy down pour of rain outside, she embraced herself to the coldness brought by the rain and night. She almost jumped at the couch when she heard a loud knocks on her door, she quickly grabbed her kunai and stood closer next to the door.

"Who is it?"

She held her kunai tightly,

" who the hell could it possibly be?"

"Ino.. it's me.."

It's cold familiar voice and what the.. did she just heard a crying baby from outside? She hurriedly opened the door.

"Oh god Neji! What are you doing here?"

Her eyes widen when she saw him dripping wet, he's still wearing his black robe from the funeral, and what made her eyes more widen is his crying infant inside his robe.

"Come in!"

She hurriedly get the baby, she sighs in relief, the baby is safe and not wet, she hurriedly grabbed a small blanket and covered the infant's body.

"I-I'm sorry … I just don't know what to do.. he already finished the six bottles you left, Hinata and Hanabi tried to gave him infant milk but he just don't stop from crying, I'm sorry for bothering you this late, but I can't do anything about it."

She lets another sighs and stared at Neji, she shook her head as she notice his shiver and tiredness.

"You will definitely catch a cold Neji, the bathroom is over there."

She pointed her the bathroom's direction. She snatched a towel and Kiba's robe from the closet and gave it to him.

"Thanks." He utter slowly and heads to the bathroom. She began to feed the baby.

"You little brat.." Ino spoke tenderly while caressing his little cheek.

"Your dad needs to rest, so you must behave ok?"

She shook her head and gently pressed the infant's nose. After a while the baby fell asleep, she gently placed him on the crib beside Ichirou, she can't help but to smile, they look like a sleeping angels. She head towards the kitchen and prepare hot chocolate. She placed two cups on a tray and proceeds to the living room, she stopped for a moment after seeing Neji sitting on the couch, his elbows are rested to his lap, face downed staring at the floor.

"You can stay here for a night, seems like the rain won't stop so soon."

She said softly, she placed the tray to the nearby table and proceed to her room to get the pillow and a blanket for Neji, her eyes soften when she saw him sleeping quietly at the couch still on his sitting position, and his head is resting at the arm chair. She came closer and helped him to lie down comfortably at the couch, good thing that it was big enough to accommodate him, she carefully slides the pillow at the back of his head and cover his body with the warm blanket.

"You must be very tired Neji… sleep tight … and get ready to face tomorrow for a new beginning.."

She whispered softy as she gently caressed his forehead.

"Good night Neji.."

So that's it for today… I'm so sorry..
