Hello, all. For those of you who have been reading my stuff since That Girl, I want to apologize to you for my lack of updating. I know you've probably seen me updating for my other stories that aren't SasuHina. I just feel like I'm not good at writing SasuHina but I started this story and I'm gonna finish it, damnit. I know you've seen how poorly this was written which is why I'm coming back to fix it and along the way, I'm gonna read through it and gather all of my thoughts so that I can start back up writing. Okay, that's the end of my rant. Thanks for sticking with me!

I don't own Naruto or the characters used in this story.

"The stupid thing got jammed. So when I when to try and fix it, it exploded. So, that's why I came home." I told Sasuke from the bathroom. It was the Friday of the second week that I had been working at MominPo and I went home early because the yogurt dispenser exploded, covering me with peach flavored yogurt.

"Well, look at it this way; at least you got to go home early." He laughed as I turned the shower off. I had finally gotten the frozen yogurt rinsed from my hair, my face, in my nose, down my shirt and out of my ears, which I'm not sure how it got in there.

"Yes but, I kind of wanted to stay at work." I mumbled as I wrapped my towel around myself and walked out of the bathroom. "And you seemed to think it was funny, seeing as how you tried to lick my neck. Pervert." I accused, lightly shaking my head in mock disappointment. Sasuke laughed as he sat on the edge of the bed, wrapped in a fluffy white towel.

"I'll accept that…This time." He smirked as he got up from the bed. I heard his footsteps as I shimmied on a pair of panties, trying my best to do so while keeping my towel on. "You do realize that I've already seen you naked, right?" He asked as he pulled a pair of boxers from his top drawer and slipped them on. I nodded and playfully rolled my eyes.

"I know." I laughed as he stood behind me and hooked my bra and adjusted the straps as I instructed him to, stealthily sneaking in a few shoulder kisses. Several seconds later, my phone rang. I sighed as I made my way over to my phone, still barely clothed. "Hello?" I answered as I sat cross legged on the bed.

"Hinata! Sweetheart, how are you?" A cheery voice asked as it poured into my ear. I smiled.

"Hi, Mom." I smiled as Sasuke mouthed the words "Is that my mom?" I nodded. "How are you?" I asked Mikoto.

"I'm great honey. How are you? Ooo! How's work?" She asked happily as I burrowed into the blankets.

"I'm doing fine. The yogurt machine got mad at me today and decided to spray me but I got the rest of the day off." I told her as Sasuke crawled onto the bed and pressed his ear against my phone, trying to listen in. I sighed as pushed his head away. "Stop being nosey, Sasuke." I told him with a playful huff.

"Is that my 'almost birthday' baby? Hi, honey. Stop eavesdropping and go do something productive." Mikoto chided with a light laugh. Sasuke sighed and retreated to the dresser. "Anyway, the reason I was calling is actually about Sasuke." She started. "As you know, his 19th birthday is in a week. Now, I'm not sure if you have anything planned but we want to have a little get together. Not a party, because who really wants to party with their parents on their birthday? It would be wonderful if you could help us plan it." I got up from the bed and got dressed quickly, pulling on a pair of red sweatpants and a black tank top.

"I don't have anything planned just yet. I'd be happy to help you out." I told her as I walked out of the bedroom, leaving Sasuke laying on the bed by himself.

"Thank you sweetie. Sooo, have you picked out a gift?" She pried. I shook my head and walked out into the moderately sized apartment back yard and walked in the grass.

"I have an idea but, you know how hard it is to choose gifts for a guy." I told her. She laughed a little bit.

"It's very hard, dear. But make sure it's sentimental. You know, he's not a shallow as he used to be. I think it has a lot to do with you." She said. I nodded as I wiggled my toes in the warm summer grass.

"Absolutely." I mumbled as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Okay honey. Well I've got to go. Itachi and Ririko are coming over in a bit. I'll talk to you later on. Tell my baby I said 'Hi'."

"Yes ma'am, I will." I smiled.

"Bye, honey. Fugaku, why didn't you ask to talk to Sasuke?" Mikoto scolded playfully as she hung up. I shook my head and walked back inside. Sasuke was in the kitchen, cooking something.

"Who are you and what have you done with the real Sasuke?" I joked as I kissed his cheek.

"The Sasuke you knew changed several months ago." He smiled. I nodded as I walked back into the bedroom. It's the 19th of July. Which means I have five days to find something for Sasuke's birthday. Shouldn't be that hard. I sighed and laid on the bed. I've just got to think about it. Hard.

"Sir, I'm sorry. You cannot make a monthly payment of $75 a month for an Aston Martin or any car for that matter." I told the idiotic man for the umpteenth time today as I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration.

"Why the hell not? I'm payin' for the damn thing aren't I? You know what? Lemme see manager in this shit-hole dealership!" The prematurely balding man asked in anger.

"Why would you need to see a manager when I'm here?" Kisame said as he came up behind the man and gripped his shoulder with what I believe to be bruising force. The man looked up at Kisame with fear evident in his eyes.

"I-I-I. We-Well you see…" Mr. 'I demand a cheap payment' stammered. Kisame's lips pulled into a face splitting, teeth bearing smirk as he raised an eyebrow.

"Well, what?" My coworker asked, leaning closer to the man, who said nothing out of sheer fear of being torn to shreds by the blue behemoth in a suit. "How about this. You take yer ass down to another dealership in your little rinky dink, shit piece car, and find another vehicle. I really don't think that any of these cars are in your price range." Kisame advised. The man nodded and scrambled to get out of Kisame's grip. We watched as he went and did exactly what he was told to do. I shook my head and laughed as the mans sad excuse for a car chugged off of the lot.

"I hope you realize you just talked me out of a deal. Is this how you've been the top salesman for 3 months?" I asked as we walked back inside.

"You'd really sell that car to that asshole? Not a smart move, rookie." Kisame sighed as he shook his head and walked into the building.

"Yo! Rookie, you seen Yamato?" Deidara asked. He had finally given in and put on the proper uniform pants. Still didn't cut his hair though.

"No ma'am I haven't." I joked as I walked into my office to grab my stuff.

"I'm not a woman god damn it!" The blond man yelled. He sighed and rubbed his temples. "Aye, what day is it?" He suddenly asked.

"Friday the 23rd." I told him, locking my office behind me as I turned to leave. A sudden pain shot through my arm that made me drop my papers. "Son of a bitch!" I yelled clutching my arm that I was sure might have been broken. I turned to see who had mangled my arm to find Kakuzu standing beside me with a not so common smirk on his face. That meant one thing: Someone was going to get hurt. I have a feeling that someone will be me.

"Happy birthday, kid." He said, walking past me and out the entrance. I rubbed my arm and nodded in his direction. Why did it feel like he poured all of his frustration into that punch?

"Uh, thanks." I muttered as I crouched to pick up my papers.

"How old are you now? 13? Finally gonna hit puberty?" Kisame asked as we walked out.

"Haha, very funny. I'm 19." I told him. He gave me a disbelieving look.

"Seriously? You're probably a pedophile now. Your girl looks like she's 16." He laughed.

"She's 18. Quit looking at my girlfriend." I warned. This seemed to get a rise out of Kisame.

"I'm gonna keep looking if she keeps on showing up here in that uniform. I wonder if she could have gotten that skirt any shorter." He smirked as he let out a long whistle. I scowled and elbowed him in the ribs.

"Do you want to be a darker shade of blue?" I asked him, glaring only slightly. Kisame smirked and put me in a light headlock.

"Try it." He laughed as he ruffled my hair and let go seconds later. "There goes your girl." He said with a smirk. "Hey, Hinata." Kisame called with a wave.

"I'd like it if you were gone within the next 20 minutes. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Goodbye." Hinata said as she hung up her phone, put it in one of the grocery bags and looked at us with a smiled. "Hi Kisame." She waved back.

"No 'Hi Sasuke'? Harsh." I sighed as I took a few of the bags from Hinata. She smiled and placed her hand on my cheek, pulling me into a kiss.

"Aww, Hinata. How could you cheat on me like that?" Kisame joked when she pulled away.

"I wasn't aware that we were dating." She laughed.

"No. It's fine. Break my heart like that, Hinata." Kisame fake cried. I shook my head.

"I don't know which Hinata you think you dated but this Hinata is taken by me. Now if you'll excuse me, we've got to get home." I told Kisame as Hinata and I began walking.

"Whatever, rookie. Have fun." He called as we walked off the lot.

"So how was work?" Hinata asked with a smile.

"Besides being abused, it wasn't half bad. Although, now I think my arms I bruised." I told her as I rubbed my arm.

"You'll be okay." She assured me. Seconds later, my phone rang and it took me a while to fish it out of my pocket.

"Yes, Mom?" I answered.

"Happy birthday, sweetie!" My mom's voice rang through the phone. She was so loud that Hinata had heard her.

"Thanks, Mom." I smiled as we continued to walk.

"You're welcome, honey. Sasuke, if you're not doing anything, would you mind stopping by?" My mom asked, as if I was going to say no to my own mother. I looked over at Hinata, who nodded because apparently she had heard everything.

"Yeah. We'll be over in a little while." I answered.

"Yay! I get to see my little birthday man. We'll see you in a little bit, baby. Tell Hinata we say Hi."

"Will do. Bye Mom." I said before I hung up and looked at Hinata. "Are you okay with going to my parents house for a while?" I asked as our apartment came into view. She shook her head.

"No, not really. Besides, it's your day, so it's up to you." She smiled as we walked up the driveway. I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't really see why everyone makes a big deal out of birthdays. Unless you're a little kid, or your turning 16, 18 or 21, nothing really changes." I pointed out as I unlocked the door.

"That may be true, but it's your birthday and it's because you're special that we're making a big deal about it." She smiled as she took the grocery bags from me and began putting the stuff away.

"Yeah, but-" I began.

"No buts. Go take a shower." She smiled as she shooed me away from the kitchen. I started to leave, but not before I saw her move the curtains that blocked her view of the back yard. She had this big smile on her face. What's so good about a back yard? I shook my head and walked into the bathroom.

"Happy Birthday, Sasuke!" Is what we heard when Mikoto answered the front door and threw her arms around her youngest son.

"Thanks,Mom." Sasuke smiled as his mom let go of him with teary eyes.

"Fugaku, can you believe that 19 years ago our beautiful little baby boy was born? Now he's all big and strong and grown up." She cried with a smile. Fugaku shook his head and wrapped his arm around Mikoto's waist.

"Happy birthday, son." Fugaku said as Sasuke and I stepped inside. "It's nice to see you again, Hinata."

"Thanks, Dad." Sasuke smiled.

"It's nice to see you again too, Mr. Uchiha." I said as he hugged me.

"Happy Birthday, Uncle 'Ke!" A small voice that belonged to an equally small body shouted as it collided with Sasuke's legs.

"Thank you, Megumi." Sasuke smiled as he lifted his niece off of the ground and rested her on his hip.

"Happy Birthday, Sasuke." Itachi and Ririko smiled as they hugged Sasuke.

"Thanks." Sasuke returned as Megumi jumped to the ground to go an get something.

"How has everything been going so far?" Ririko asked as Sasuke and Itachi started a small conversation.

"Everything had been going pretty well, thank you. We recently got an apartment together and now we have jobs." I smiled. "It's been interesting. How are the twins?"

"That's great. The twins are doing very well. They're not as loud as Megumi was when she was a baby." Ririko laughed.

"Well, she's a really active child." I smiled. "How are you and Itachi doing? If you don't mind me asking."

"We're… We're fine. I mean, he just gets stressed out a lot but we're fine." Ririko said with a faint smile. I decided not to pry into it any further for fear that she might get upset.

"Uncle 'Ke, look!" Megumi called as she stood in front of Sasuke. He smiled and squatted down to Megumi's height. She held out a small box wrapped neatly. Well, as neatly as a 5 year old can get it. "Happy birthday." She smiled as she handed it to Sasuke.

"You didn't have to get me anything." Sasuke said modestly as he kissed her forehead and took the small gift. We gathered around as Sasuke began to open the small box. Inside the box was a neatly made bracelet with 'Uncle Ke' spelled out with little silver box shaped letters. The look on Sasukes face was as if he was looking at his first born child. Megumi flashed a row of small, straight teeth. Apparently, the one she had lost came back in. " Megumi, this is the greatest present ever." Sasuke smiled as he put the bracelet on, resulting in a high pitched squeal from his niece.

"I made it all by myself. Do you really like it?" Megumi asked with a smile. Sasuke nodded and hugged the small child. Mikoto, Ririko and I let out little 'awws'.

" Isn't that sweet?" Mikoto beamed as she smiled at Sasuke. Several minutes later, Megumi and Sasuke were running around the back yard, laughing. I took the liberty of taking several unnoticed pictures all the while.

"Hinata, could you come here for a moment?" Fugaku called from the living room.

"Yes sir?" I asked as I walked in the room.

" In a few minutes, Sasukes gift will be here. Could you bring him out front when I call for you?" He asked with a sincere smile. I nodded.

"Of course, Mr. Uchiha. Just say the word." I smiled. He nodded as he turned on his heel and left the room. I walked back outside and watched as Megumi tried to show Sasuke a ballet routine that she had learned in class today. Several minutes later, I heard Fugaku call my name.

"Sasuke, could you come here for a second?" I asked, successfully catching his attention. He nodded and dusted himself free off tiny blades of grass.

"Yes?" He smiled as he walked up to me and kissed my forehead.

"Come out front with me for a minute." I smiled as I grabbed his hand. He nodded as we walked towards the front porch. Everyone was standing out front with smiles on their faces when we stepped outside.

"You guys aren't going to punch me too, are you? How could you bring me out here to get hurt?" Sasuke asked with a tinge of fear. I couldn't help but laugh as he looked down at me with a pitiful look on his face. I shook my head.

"No, your dad asked me to bring you out here" I smiled. Then, a large black pickup truck pulled into the driveway with a large crate in the trunk. Sasuke looked down at me and then to his dad. We waited as two men lowered the crate, adorned with a large silver bow, from the trunk.

"Dad?" Sasuke asked as Mr. Uchiha beckoned him over. He then pulled out a large crow bar, to which Sasuke flinched at. "You're gonna try and hit me with that on my birthday?" Sasuke joked. We laughed.

"No. You're going to need this to open your gift." Fugaku smiled as he handed the crow bar to Sasuke.

"Go on, honey. Open it." Mikoto beamed as Sasuke took a step toward the large box and pulled off the silver bow. Hesitantly, he opened the top of the crate and pulled the wooden lid off. That was when he stopped and looked at his dad with a wide eyed expression.

"Dad…" Sasuke began as he looked back into the crate.

"Yes?" Fugaku asked with a smug expression on his face, clearly happy with the purchase he had made.

"You…You shouldn't have." Sasuke continued, looking as if he was going to cry. He then ran his hands through his hair and gripped the back of his head. "Holy shit, Dad." He exclaimed. Itachi frowned at his brothers swearing as Fugaku let that one slide, only because it was his birthday.

"Well, what is it, Uncle 'Ke?" Megumi asked, running over to him.

"It's…It's a motorcycle." He answered, taking down the sides of the crate to show the rest of us. Sure enough, inside the crate was a brand new red, chrome sports motorcycle. I can see why Sasuke was speechless. It was shiny, exotic and obviously expensive. "I-I…I don't know what to say… I…Thank you, Dad." Sasuke said as he walked over to hug his father. Which was very rare.

"You're welcome, Sasuke. Happy birthday." Fugaku said as he and Sasuke shared a long over due hug.

"Honey, that's not all." His mother piped up after Sasuke had ended the hug with his father.

"It's not?" Sasuke asked with an adorable confused face. Mikoto shook her head and pulled a box from the pick up truck and handed it to Sasuke. He waited and then pulled the wrapping paper off slowly and smiled as he opened the box. "Are you serious, Mom?" He asked as he pulled a shiny black helmet with his family crest on the back. I had to admit, even I was speechless.

"Happy birthday, baby." She smiled as Sasuke repeatedly kissed his mom's cheek. I don't think his dad would have liked it if Sasuke had kissed him like that. Then, a burly man got out of the truck and handed Sasuke a set of keys.

"You've got one hell of a family. Have fun, kid. Happy birthday." He said as he got into the truck and drove off. Sasuke nodded and bent down to stack the wooden crate pieces. Minutes later, Sasuke was seated on the motorcycle, grinning like a maniac.

"Can I?" Sasuke asked, sporting his childish grin.

"It's yours, I don't see why not." Fugaku answered. And with that, Sasuke started the bike. It then dawned on me that I'm not sure if he knows how to ride a he had been taught earlier. My doubts were then proven wrong when Sasuke peeled out of the driveway and sped down the street like he had been riding forever. I ran and watched after him, scared that something bad might happen. When he came back and turned the bike off, he was still grinning.

"Holy crap." He beamed, censoring his words for Megumi's sake. "This may be the greatest gift in the world." Sasuke said with a hand over his mouth as he looked at his new gift in awe.

"Glad you like it." Fugaku said with a smile. Itachi and Ririko then walked over to Sasuke and handed him a fairly large box.

"I really can't handle anymore excitement today. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack." Sasuke laughed as he took the gift from his brother. "Are you serious?" Sasuke nearly shouted as he opened the box. Inside the box was a blue acoustic guitar. He smiled and hugged the couple as best he could with the guitar in his arms. "Thank you." He smiled as he let them go.

"You're welcome." Ririko smiled.

"Enjoy the rest of your birthday, little brother. Now, we've got to go home to the twins. I think the baby sitter may want to go home now." Itachi smiled. And several minutes later, Megumi, Ririko and Itachi left, leaving Sasuke, his parents and I in the parking lot.

"As much as we love you, dear, your father and I are getting old and we need our sleep." Mikoto joked.

"Whatever you say, Mom. Thank you so much." Sasuke said as he hugged his parents for the last time today.

"We'll see you two soon." Fugaku said with a smile. We nodded as we got ready to leave.

"Well that was eventful." I smiled as I fiddled with Sasuke's car keys.

"Yeah, it was." He smiled as he kissed me.

"How about we get out of here?" I suggested as our kiss ended. He smiled and nodded as I got in the front seat of his car and he went to his new bike. I then pulled my phone out and called Sakura.

"We're on our way back. I hope everything is ready. I really owe you." I told her.

"Don't worry about it. Just hurry home." She said as she hung up.

"Ready?" I asked Sasuke as I started the car.

"Ready." He smiled as he revved the bikes engine.

"Surprise!" That was the word that I heard when I opened the apartment to our apartment. Our friends had our apartment all decorated for me.

"Thanks everyone." I smirked as I felt two arms hug me from behind.

"Surprise." Hinata smiled innocently as we walked inside.

"And what a surprise it is." I smiled as I leaned down to kiss her.

About half an hour into the party, Hinata had pulled me aside.

"Can I be the one to give you the last present of the night?" She asked with a small smirk. I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Right now? When our friends are in the living room just around the corner? You're so perverted." I joked as I leaned down to kiss her neck. She laughed and lightly shoved me.

"No, stupid. It's out back." She smiled as she reached up to cover my eyes. She then led me out the back door, all the while, I wasn't able to see.

"Can I look now?" I asked as I heard the back door shut. She didn't say anything. She just led me a bit further into the yard and removed her hands from my eyes.

"Well?" She smiled as she held my hand.

"Hi-Hinata…I…Y-You…How?" I stuttered as I stared at an exact replica of the tree house that Itachi, my dad and I had built when we were younger.

"I used a bit of my inheritance to have it replicated while you were at work for the past few days." She admitted.

"But…" I trailed off. Before I knew it, a small hand wiped tears from my face. God. Was I really crying?

"I-I didn't mean to make you cry. I just wanted t-" She began as I lifted her from the ground as kissed her.

"You're amazing." I whispered to her as we tumbled to the ground. She looked up at me with a flushed face.

"Happy birthday, Sasuke." She smiled as she kissed me.
