Naruto looked at the nurse in surprise, "She's with child?" His voice was hesitant. He knew better than to make assumptions. Last time he had done so Hinata literally slapped him- this had emotionally scarred her until Naruto had forgiven her.

Blinking, he looked over at his future cousin-in-law. Naruto watched as the blank look on his face slowly changed. It was no secret in the council room that Neji wanted more children but his darling Tenten posed some opposition on the subject. With the first few attempts that ended in failure, they had given up any hope of having another child and focused their attention towards their daughter; figuring they were meant to only have one child.

However, learning she was with child, Neji all but inwardly jumped for joy- because we all know Hyuuga's show little to no emotion. Everyone wondered if he was by chance related to the King of Hearts due to their similar stoic personalities.

"Are you sure?" Neji finally managed to get out. The nurse gave a short nod in response. "I-" The nurse's lips were silenced by a sudden presence from behind the men. The Queen of Wonderland stepped forward and offered a bright smile at the two. "My queen." Neji breathed out in a bow.

Sakura waved her hand offhandedly, "None of that! I'm not the Queen... Or at least I don't think I am. So please, do call me Sakura. I had wished most of the palace occupants would have absorbed this information by now."

"Hai, Sakura-sama."

"No," Sakura laughed, "just Sakura; no honorifics or anything."

"Hai, Sakura-sa-." Neji gasped quietly when the wiggling bundle in his arms nearly fell. "Yuki." Neji exasperated while trying to keep a hold of his daughter. The little girl freed herself of her father's arms and ran to Sakura. "Yuki." Neji's voice warned sternly.

Sakura laughed before gathering the child into her arms. "It's quite alright. Yuki-chan was with me when the King of Diamonds came looking for me." Sakura informed cheerfully. Naruto gave a small smirk as Yuki curled her arms around Sakura's neck and settled herself against Sakura's form. Neji grimaced slightly in jealousy. He never had much luck holding his child- she refused to stay still!

"Nee... Sakura-chan... I know I just checked on you." Naruto stated in confusion. He was sure the pinkette and his best friend were asleep only a few moments ago.

Sakura smiled. "You aren't exactly quiet... We woke up at the sound of the door. I had actually been on my way for several purposes aside from checking Sasuke's wounds."

"Well?"

"Informing him that one of his best captains is going to be on leave until further notice. Judging by how Sasuke reacted to it… she won't be happy."

Neji sighed softly and nodded. "Tenten... Is a fighter. She is rather against the idea of being indoors or away from a battlefield."

"Ah, Lady Tenten?"

Neji nodded in confirmation but chose to remain silent. "You might want to go see her." Sakura encouraged with a knowing smile.

"Okaa-san!" Yuki shrieked. Neji glanced at her in surprise. Yuki rarely acted out like that. "I want Okaa-san."

As the father-daughter duo entered the infirmary. Neji paused and allowed himself a deep breath before heading back to his wife's bed. Looking at her nervously, he hoped Yuki could be used as a distraction from the truth.

"Really?" His wife glared. "You just had to go and knock me up again?" She snapped. Neji opened his mouth to speak but suddenly closed it as his eyes met the fiery ones of his, usually, bun-haired wife's. "You just had to…" Her lips searched for the appropriate word, "go-go-go... go cause this stupid problem all because you couldn't keep it in your stupid pants you-you-you stupid pig-headed idiot!" She cried out- clearly upset with her sudden predicament.

"Tenten, you know as well as I do that this is a miracle." He pointed out before she shrieked at him once more, startling the little girl who made herself known with a whimper.

"Oh... Yuki, sweetie, I'm sorry." Tenten apologized, realizing the girl was there. Reaching out to her, Yuki quickly clambered over before Neji intervened and scooped her up. "Neji, I swear if you don't let my baby see me I'll make sure this one never sees you." She threatened.

Neji went rigid in response. A giggle was heard in contrast to the shuffling of papers. "He's just looking out for your safety." The pinkette informed with a laugh as she glanced at the stiffening father. "The gash along your side could easily split back open if you are not careful."

"I'll be careful around Okaa-san." Yuki tucked her chin in shyly. "Please?" She asked. Sakura nodded and Neji released the child from his arms. Running to the side of her mother's bed, she looked carefully around before crawling in with Tenten. "Okaa-san, okay?" Yuki asked quietly as she snuggled up next to her.

"Yeah. Okaa-san is okay." Tenten murmured kissing her daughter's forehead. Her eyes peered over Yuki's hair. She aimed a glare at Neji who appeared to be a bit frightful of her angry aura. He could recall that look from a previous time. He shuddered at the thought; it was not a particular experience he'd like to relive. Absentmindedly rubbing his jaw, he looked away from her before turning to Sakura who offered a reassuring smile.

Reading the woman's chart, Sakura bounced her head slowly before sending a happy grin towards the family. "Tenten, you seem to be doing just fine. However, I'm putting you on maternity-leave until the baby is born. This is necessary precaution. Another attack like this one could cost the baby's life and your own." Sakura explained.

"What!" Tenten exclaimed. "But you have no right or authority to make those decisions!" She accused. "You're just a nurse."

"Actually, I'm Sakura, who's apparently the Queen of Wonderland along with owning the title of 'doctor from Earth'. Who, also, knows better than to send a pregnant woman back out into an inevitable war in order to defend her country, kingdom -or whatever the hell you defend- while in a state of pregnancy. Be grateful you at least get to spend more time with your family." Sakura grinned as the brown-haired woman's eyes widened at the mention of Queen of Wonderland.

She sent a questioning look to Neji who shrugged in response. "I... I... oh, I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

"Sakura, I may be this "supposed" queen but then again, I may not be. But I still like being called by my real name, none of that royalty crap."
