Here Comes Daddy
Chapter 4 – Depression
Hinata POV
Taking care of the twins and my dad was a huge handful so Itachi and Hanabi decided to stay for a couple of weeks.
But I was worried about Sasuke…
He looked worse than I did.
He came out the bathroom, yawning… his eyes looked dull and circled with dark bags; his hair was lacking that shine.
I smiled and extended my arms. He crawled on the bed. He smiled. "I love you" He kissed my forehead. I nodded. "You look horrible."
He sat down. "Oh, I love you too Sasuke!"
I laughed. "I love you too Sasuke but you look horrible."
"Your boobs are huge"
I pushed him, of course he didn't budge.
Dad walked in, he looked horrible too… not because of the kids…
"They laugh so much"
I shrugged. "Better than crying"
Hikari was a curious soul, she would roll and went right to people; she would giggle a lot. She already had a head full of black hair and matching black eyes.
But Daisuke he was more reserved, he loved to be held by me and Sasuke…but would scream to the top of his lungs if anyone else tried to. He had a habit of just staring…just watched like he was plotting something, which he normally was. That boy got into everything
Daisuke had black hair with a tint of navy, his eyes were grayer.
But I loved my babies.
I patted Sasuke lap. "I think you should go back to work."
He watched me. "I don't want to miss anything"
"You need to breathe fresh air"
"Well I think you need to breathe fresh air"
I smirked and got up to check up on the twins, they weren't in their rooms. I walked into the living room. Itachi was on the floor and had Hikari sleeping on his chest. Hanabi was on the couch had Daisuke in her arms.
They were both asleep…
Itachi and Hanabi…
I started to cook breakfast and Daisuke started to cry. I walked over and took him in my arms. He giggled and clung to me. I put him in his high stair.
His eyes got watery.
"You're going to be a big boy now right?"
He giggled and I took that was a yes.
When he watched me I thought of Sasuke.
As the food smell started to fill our full house,
I heard Hikari moan. Itachi leaned up. "Why, good morning my beautiful niece" She giggled and pulled his nose. He got up and put in next to her brother.
Sasuke and Dad walked in and Hanabi got up.
"Who's cooking?"
Dad groaned. "Why are you still here demon?"
She scoffed. "Because Hinata is my sister!"
"She isn't your sister! I ain't your daddy, be gone now!"
I smiled. A while after my mother died, my dad tried dating again, of course he got this woman pregnant but didn't believe it. Hanabi looks like he spit her out. They have almost the same features but he refuses to believe that she is his daughter.
Hanabi put her hand up. "Anyway Hinata…!"
Sasuke shook his head and started feeding the kids.
Hikari looked the other way. "Come on, Kari for daddy" She pouted. He turned to feed Dai then she tried reaching out for him. "You have to wait now" She sniffled. "Don't cry!"
She pouted again. He sighed.

Sasuke POV
Daisuke watched me as I feed him as if saying. "No tricks old man"
Hikari reached for me. I turned to feed her. She pouted. I tickled her chin, she giggled and I put the food in her mouth. She looked flabbergasted like she wanted to say: "You tricked me, dad!"
Hiashi sat at the table. He coughed which sound pretty bad.
It had been five months since the twins were born and he had been to almost five Chemotherapy sessions, his hair was dangerously thin.
It was almost like we were raising three kids.
Hinata knew it and it seemed like she was prepared for it any day; some nights she would cry and others she would spend checking up him.
I knew what it was like to lost parents.
Watched Hikari play with her brother, I smiled.
We all sat at the table to eat. Hinata had Daisuke in her lap. Hikari was reaching for my food. I laughed. Hiashi finished his food and started walking to his room.
Thump.
The twins instantly started crying. Hinata ran in the hallway. "Call 911!"

Hinata POV
"Daddy!" I ran to him. He smiled. "What's wrong?" I sniffled.
"They were picking on me at school and were t-t-talking about my mama!" He picked me up and hugged me. "Don't listen to what those mean kids at school say, they are just jealous of you…" I hugged him and cried in arms.
"Why can't mama be like the other momma's?"
He put me down. "Don't say that."
I gasped. He turned from me. "Daddy I'm sorry…"
"Momma is very sick and she doesn't need any of that from you"
My heart was thumping. Tears continued to flow. "I'm sorry daddy"
"Go say sorry to your momma" I nodded and ran in the back room.
She was laying down. "Momma are you awake?" She looked at me. "Come here, my baby" I smiled and ran to her side. She winced a bit as I crawled on the bed with her. "What's wrong, baby?"
I cried and hugged her. "The kids at school were being mean to me…" She wiped my tears away. "Don't cry…listen to me, you're perfect never forget that" I nodded. "You're prefect too Momma, I'm sorry"
She coughed. Her Beep-Beep machine was beeping very slow. She reached over and gave me a necklace. "I want you to be strong and help your daddy, okay"
I nodded. "But momma you're gonna be fine! We can go to the park and eat ice cream with Sasu-chan's momma!"
She smiled and kissed my forehead. "I love you Hinata…" I smiled. "I love you too Mama!"
Her Beep-Beep machine made this weird sound and the house nurses came running in. "Stop it! She's just sleeping!" My father came in and grabbed me. "No! Daddy…She's fine!" My necklace fell. "Mama!" I screamed.
She didn't look over.
She didn't smile at me.
Her chest didn't move.
It never did.

I cried by his side. Sasuke wanted to leave us together. "Hinata…stop all that crying" He coughed.
I looked at him. My heart was being pulled at. "Please don't leave me…please"
He smiled. "Everyone has their time"
"It's not yours!"
He patted my head. "I have been suffering so much…"
I shook my head. "No dad... stop talking like that please!"
I looked over his heart beat was weak.
"I want you to be the best mother and wife you can…" He nodded. "Those are some pretty kids, you got… I got to see them… haha"
I rubbed his hand. "Daddy, you're going to be fine…"
"See, there Hikari you worry too much… She is going to be great!" He looked at me and smiled. "Look at her Hikari…she is so much like you" He nodded. "Yeah…she is going to love you and I'm going to be her first hero!"
I hugged him. "Oh dear, Hinata…" He rubbed my back. "You're prefect, don't let anyone tell you otherwise…those stupid kids"
I cried more.
"But you have Sasuke, and your friends and your babies…I love you so much Hinata" I looked at him. He smiled and kissed my forehead. "I love you…daddy"
But his body went limp.
He flat-lined. The noise was so loud… nurses came in. I shook my head as they were about to try and bring him back.
"No…let him sleep…"
They paused.
I nodded and kissed his cheek. "I love you so much Daddy…"

"My father, he was a tough man to get along with at times…
I stood there as they lowered his casket into the ground. Tears flooded my eyes. Sasuke held me in his arms.
But he was always there for me… through my down falls and achievements… he was always there to protect me…
Hanabi cried so hard.
He was a reason for everything he did… he knew this day was coming… he made sure to spend time with everyone…
Neji stood there. He suffered on the inside.
… He shared stories with us… he shared memories… we couldn't tell whether they were true or not… but that wasn't the point… he gave us hope…
I covered my mouth.
The love he had for us is indescribable but the love he had for my mother was unconditional… he stayed with her until the end… he lived with without her until his end…
It hurts so bad…
But now he can join mother and they can love with each other forever, so yes I mourn but I know that he is happy… sharing the heavens with my mother…

Sasuke and I came home and the baby-sitter left. We went into the back room.
It was quiet.
The kids were quiet.
It was peaceful…
