Sorry for not updating soon. I had technical difficulties. Okay. I really tried to make this as realistic as possible. The labor part I mean. I haven't really experienced the natural phenomenon of giving birth. I kinda had to do research for this, so please don't be too harsh. I don't own Naruto or any of the characters that have to do with the show. I hope you like it.

Chapter 8: New Information, the Delivery, and Guilt

Back in Konoha

Gaara was on the living room couch taking his nap. Since Hinata had left, he'd been accustomed to long nights sitting and staring at the moon, while talking on the phone with Matsuri. It was her favorite celestial body. Most of his evenings after school were spent napping. It was because he was trying to block out the sun's rays that dealt with happiness. This day was like every other. Yet that's not true.

The past months Gaara has started hanging with Matsuri. When he was with Matsuri, all of his hatred against himself faded away because he got to focus on her. But when she wasn't around, mostly in the evenings before the sun went down because she had to work at the movie theater from 2:30-7:00, his thoughts were preoccupied with Hinata. The happy times they had together filled his dreams, making him remember what he did to hurt the only girl that he could ever love. In other words, he was having a wonderful nightmare about him and Hinata's relationship, the one that recurred a lot. He was on the couch tossing and turning.

For some reason in the dream, something new happened. Instead of waking up after Hinata tells him that she loves him in the field, the dream lasted a little longer. The dream flashed through all of their times together, but after that happens they stand in a field, like always. The field is filled with white, red and lavender flowers that only grow in Konoha during the spring time. Her favorites.

Hinata looks pregnant. Her stomach protrudes from her curvy body. Her dark blue hair is now to her shoulders. As always she was wearing a lavender sun dress that came just above her knees. Usually they would exchange silent I love yous, and he wakes up before he can walk to her. This time he walks all the way to her. Just as he is about to touch her, she moves away. He can see tears staining her pale cheeks. He can't look into her eyes because her bangs are shadowing them. When he opens his mouth to speak, Hinata looks at him briefly, her eyes red from crying too much. He wants to apologize for making her cry, but his mouth feels too dry to speak. His vocal chords are frozen. He gathers the courage to call her name, but she never answers. She lets out an unnatural scream and clutches her stomach. Then he sees something red fall from between her legs onto the white flowers staining them crimson. (This about the same time that Hinata is at the baby shower). He was about to touch her, when someone shook him awake.

He awoke up with a panic that flooded his heart. He could feel that something was wrong. It was a strong gut feeling that was unmistakable. Something was wrong with Hinata. His Hinata. A shadow leaned over him, not helping to ease his panic. He looked up to see an older version of Kankuro only with lighter hair. It was his father, Uryu. The look he portrayed almost made Gaara want to punch him in his face. His dad looked at him with pity.

"What do you want?" the red head growled.

"Son, I really need to talk to you." his father answered calmly. Uryu wasn't naturally this well tempered, but he wanted to keep his son from spiraling more out of control than he already was. He could still see how much his son was hurting even though, he was with the Matsuri girl, who wore basically no clothing at all. His son really loved Hinata Hyuga.

Though the family companies were rivals Uryu, Minato and Hiashi were friends. Hell Uryu's wife, Karura, Minato's wife, Kushina, and Hiashi's late wife, Rukia, were best friends. Uryu and Minato were helping Hiashi look for his daughter.

"I don't want to talk to you." was Gaara's rude answer. He rolled back over to get away from his father's face.

"Gaara this isn't a joke. Will you listen? It's about Hinata." His father spoke again. As soon as Hinata's name was spoken, Gaara had turned around and faced his father with a new found eagerness. "Glad that I have your attention." Uryu said. "This conversation is about to get a little uncomfortable, but I need you to bear with me. O'kay?"

"Dad, what's this about? Spit out already!" Gaara growled impatiently.

"Look Gaara. Have you Hinata ever had sex?" the older Sabaku replied.

Gaara's eyes widened. "How the hell did you find out about that?" was the first thought that popped into Gaara's head. "If Dad knows, Mom sure as hell knows. I am so FUCKED. I have no other choice, but to tell the truth."

"Yeah, we did." he could see his father tense. His jaw line was clenched tightly. Gaara knew that his father was PISSED. That was never a good thing to do. Directing the wrath of Uryu Sabaku onto oneself was like evoking the wrath of Poseidon while being in the ocean. It wasn't a very smart idea.

"Calm down Uryu. Calm down. You can't freak out about this. He should've been smart enough to use protection. The reason that she bought those pregnancy tests was not because she got pregnant by Gaara. He's not that stupid. Oh who the fuck am I kidding? Gaara is a fucking idiot when it comes to that girl." Gaara brought Uryu out of his panicky thoughts by clearing his throat. "Son did you guys use protection?"

Again Gaara's eyes widened. " That's none of your business. What does this have to do with Hinata?" Gaara was really getting uncomfortable.

"A few months ago, Minato's, Hiashi's and my men were looking back on the events that took place before Hinata left. They found something very important. Until now, I didn't think it was necessary to tell you this, but I am certain that you have a right to know. You are waist deep in this fucked up situation. About a week before she left, Hinata asked her maid to take her to Walgreens." Uryu paused to look at his son. He could already the inner turmoil that his son was about to embark upon finding out this new information. He had no other choice, but to continue. "We checked the camera and questioned the cashier. She said she remembers Hinata because she looked a little young to be buying pregnancy tests. Then I talked to your sister and she said that you cheated on Hinata with that Matsuri girl." Gaara's face flushed a little, then realization struck his eyes wide. "That look on your face tells me that you understand what I am pointing to."

Gaara's head was spinning. This new information was making his head hurt. His legs started shaking unconsciously as he ran a hand through his red hair, revealing his love kanji tattoo. "No. That can't be true. I… she wouldn't have left. If she knew that she was pr-pregnant. I mean that if she knew… She wouldn't. H- Hinata would never be that vindictive." he buried his head in his hands. Tears instantly started to fall.

"Son, I'm sorry, but that is what all the facts point to. She was possibly pregnant, when she left. Are you sure that it would be your baby anyways?"

"Dad, Hinata wasn't like that. She was only with me. I'm the cheater." he said angrily. He was upset that his Dad could even think that Hinata was the type to sleep around. He would know. He's been her friend since they were three and her boyfriend since he was five and she was four. He knew if she lied or was hiding something from him. The fact that he met the resistance of her hymen when he made love to her was enough proof.

"She was only with you? What the hell does that mean? Oh My God." Understanding dawned on Uryu.

Kankuro, who had been eavesdropping, had just walked in and asked the question that his father was about to ask."You took her virginity?" Gaara didn't answer. Kankuro went over to Gaara and pulled him up by the collar of his shirt. " And then you cheated on her. Damn it Gaara. How the hell could you be so FUCKING STUPID and IRRESPONSIBLE? Sex isn't something that you play around with! You were her first! You fucking asshole taking someone's virginity is a means for commitment. That's not something that you fucking play with." he brought his hand back to punch his little brother, but the younger boy didn't flinch at all. "You're not even worth it." Kankuro hissed and threw Gaara onto the floor.

Gaara got up, ran into his brother and punched him. Kankuro was about to go after Gaara, but his father held him back. Gaara started yelling at him. To a sane person this wouldn't be a wise decision, but at the moment Gaara couldn't be considered sane or smart. Actually, Gaara wanted to be hit. It was easier to let his brother do it. " Dad let him go. Go ahead and fucking hit me. I DON'T CARE. It doesn't matter anymore. You think I don't feel guilty. Hinata might be pregnant out there alone because of me. I feel horrible for what I did. So hit me. DAD LET HIM GO!"

Kankuro broke out of his fathers grip and was about to hit Gaara when his mother and Temari walked in.

" What the hell is going on here?" Karura yelled looking around to see her sons huffing. " You know I don't want to know. We will talk about this later. Now clean up your mess before I take away your summer. C'mon Temari let's go make dinner." everyone could see that she meant business, so the guys cleaned up the living room, while Temari and her mom made dinner.

Gaara really didn't eat anything. He just asked to be excused to his room because he didn't feel well. When he got to his room, he pulled out his cell phone and called the only one that could ease his mind at the moment, the only person that even talked to him.

RING… "Damn it. M pick up. I really need you now." Gaara thought as he waited for her to pick up.

RING…

RING…" Hello, Gaara?"

" Yeah. M, can I come over tonight? I really need you."

"Yeah. I was about to get in the tub. Come in about 15 okay?" Matsuri spoke. "I really could use the company."

"I'll be there" he hung up the phone.

The sweetest thing that Hinata had ever told him when they were kids ran through his mind. " G-G-Gaara, I -I w-want you-you to p-p-promise that we'll be-be Gaahina forever."

As he got ready to leave his mind went into angry overdrive. He was sending telepathic bad thoughts to Hinata. " How could you leave me like this, knowing that you were carrying our child? I fucking hate you. You said that we'd always be Gaahina forever, no matter what. So now that your gone, Gaahina doesn't matter, right? Well...Fuck you. If you don't care why the fuck should I give a fucking rats ass. I hope you never come back. If you do, you'll see that I moved on from you with someone who appreciates me. " With that thought he climbed out of his second floor window, and climbed down the flower covered ladder that resided there. When he was on the ground he ran all the way to Matsuri's house, where he indulged himself in her warmth, for once was forgetting about the girl that would forever hold his aching heart that she wounded. Hinata.

…

Back in Kingakure: Kingakure Hospital Room 305A in the maternity ward

After an ultrasound, Dr. Nethers determined that a light case of Placenta Abruption occurred in one of her babies, meaning that one of her babies' umbilical cords has started to come away from her uterus. It's what caused her stomach pain and the bleeding. Although it could've been dangerous, Dr. Nethers said that since the babies were kind of almost due and the abruption was kind of minor that Hinata was supposed to be confined to the bed at least for another week to make sure the babies were as healthy as they could get before her labor was induced. She still would be able to have a natural birth. The fact that Hinata was RH positive also added benefited her and the babies. Dr. Nethers also wanted Hinata to stay the night to make sure no other complications arose. Hinata didn't mind staying because her babies were the only thing that mattered. The added bonus of her new family staying with her benefited her mentally also.

Danny sat in a cream colored arm chair on the right side of Hinata with Victoria sitting in his lap. Jacob sat in the white arm chair on her left side. There was a cream colored couch on her left that was occupied by Avery, Ryan and Kurenai. Hayden had whined his way into Hinata's bed and was lying right next to the pregnant teenager. Everyone was asleep, totally spent from the scare.

At about midnight Hinata went to the restroom. Before she could lift up the seat to sit down, she heard something splash on the floor. This sounded like more than the last time. She hesitantly looked down, praying to God that she wouldn't see anymore blood. God answered her prayers. She saw a clear liquid, which signified only one thing.

"GUYS, I THINK MY WATER BROKE!" Hinata screamed. A pain shot through her again. This was a new unmentionably cruel pain that the mother to be had never felt before. It was the start of her personal hell. Contractions.

…

28 Hours Later aka 28 Hours of Labor

A loud screaming young woman could be heard giving birth. By the sounds of it, this was her first go round at labor and the pains that comes with it. You could always tell the screams of a rookie.

" Come on Hinata. Just one more push. She's almost here okay? I can already see her beautiful red hair. Just one more push." Kurenai encouraged the young girl, ignoring the fact that Hinata was squeezing the life out of her hand. "Who knew that Hinata was that strong, but that doesn't matter now. The only things that matter are her and these babies."

" I can't. It fucking hurts so bad. Aah. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. Why did you do this to me? I hate you." Hinata cried loudly more so questioning and telling Gaara, who was nowhere near, that she hated him than Kurenai and Avery. " Why does this hurt so fucking bad? God. Make it stop. PLEASE! I vow as long as I am alive that I HINATA ISABELLE HYUGA- INOUE will vow to CELEBACY for the rest of eternity. Just make it stop" was her only thought.

Her body was soaked in sweat. Her shoulder length dark blue hair was stuck to her sweat and tear covered face. Another harsh pain went through her body. " I can't. It hurts so bad. Make it stop. I can't push anymore." she screamed and clenched her eyes shut . When she opened them, she saw her mother. Rukia. "Mommy?"

" Hinata you have to. Those babies need you. You almost have one of those little angels out. Just push." Rukia urged her daughter as she stroked her hair.

"Come on just breath and push. You can do this. She's almost out." Avery said. Tears stinging her eyes. She really felt the pain that Hinata was going through. She could see the younger girl's body trembling from the agony. Of course she'd been through this before, but Hayden was born after 12 hours. Sure she was sore, but 28 hours of labor was probably damnation to Hinata, not to mention that she was choosing to do this all naturally because she was scared of the epidural needle.

"123Push." Dr. Nethers spoke out.

"Just push for me okay?" Rukia smiled lovingly. Hinata could see tears forming in her mother's eyes. Just like when she was younger, Hinata could feel the urge to make her mother not cry; to make her mother happy. At the moment she could see that there was only on way to do that.

Hinata pushed as hard as she could. When she couldn't push any more, she collapsed back onto the hospital bed. Her efforts weren't in vain because she heard the sounds of a baby crying. She opened her eyes, only to see the blurry outlines of a Kurenai and Avery smiling at the bundle in the nurse's arms that had brick-red colored hair. Her mother smiled again. Hinata smiled tiredly, but that didn't last long because pain ripped through her entire being again. Pale lavender met hazel( the color of her mother's eyes. No Hyugacest). The way that Rukia looked at her was a motherly way of saying that " You have to do that amazing impossible feat again. You can do it. I believe in you."

10 Minutes Later

"Stop making me do this. Ahh. It fucking hurts. Ahh. I hate you! " Hinata cried, her breathing slightly going erratic.

"It's okay we understand. You can hate us as long as you want. But that won't matter as soon as you get that beautiful little girl out of you. So come on push." Kurenai retorted with a smug smile, squeezing Hinata's hand slightly. She understood that Hinata was taking her pain out on them. Frankly she was okay with it as long as she could help Hinata through her pain, especially since Hinata was doing a completely natural birth, no epidural included. In other words, she was doing a horribly courageous act to her body. The waves of pain that flooded Hinata's body were almost visible to the naked eye. And Kurenai had 20/20 vision. PERFECT SIGHT. She could see Hinata's body practically screaming for a break from the pain.

" Just one more push. Hinata I can see her head. It's full of nothing but blue hair. Just push. One more time. She's almost out." Avery smiled at Hinata.

"123 Push." Again Dr. Nethers ordered. Hinata looked over at her mother. She nodded. Hinata pushed again as hard as she could force herself to do. When she was through, she collapsed again, but this time she didn't hear a baby crying.

"Why isn't she crying?" Hinata sat up only to be pushed down Rukia.

"There was just a complication. She'll be fine." Rukia smiled softly. "It's okay. Your little angels will be fine. I can promise you that."

This didn't help Hinata though. It just made her panic with worry." What did I do? I killed my own baby." Hinata cried tiredly only to be brought back to reality by the sounds of her baby girl wailing loudly.

She looked back at her mother only to see her smiling sadly. She was fading. " No Mommy please don't leave. I need you." Hinata whined. New tears falling down her face.

"Oh Hinata, honey. Its okay sweetheart. I promise that those little angels and you are always in my thoughts okay?" the older woman smiled. " And I'll watch over you forever. I can just feel that everything will work out the way it should." she moved out of the way as Dr. Nethers walked past her with the baby girls wrapped in lavender blankets.

Hinata smiled tiredly as she received both of her babies. Both looked almost exactly alike. The only way to tell that the babies weren't identical was by looking at their hair color; they hadn't opened their eyes yet. When she looked to the last place her mother was, she saw that she was gone. Tears ran down her face. Her only thought was "Thanks Mom. I love you."

They opened their eyes after a couple of hours. As soon as she saw their hair and their eyes together, she knew which names she wanted to give them.

Hinata decided to breastfeed. The nurse showed her how to. Luckily they showed her how to use her breast pump that Avery got her for the baby shower. For some reason, she knew that Hinata would decide to breastfeed. The babies seemed to be naturals at it. It wasn't as bad as Hinata though that it would be.

It turns out there was a lot of things that Hinata received at her Baby Shower that she didn't even get to enjoy. Those things included a double seater stroller, a large crib, diapers, clothes, pacifiers, a whole bunch of reading books for bedtime, bottles, blankets, ointments, baby wipes, baby washes, shampoos, baby tubs, bibs, and a changing table. ( Jacob told her about the gifts.)

Hinata had to stay in the hospital, so they could run tests on her to make sure that she was okay. The doctors let the babies sleep in her room the whole entire time.

Although the babies were born about two weeks early, they were allowed to leave after about a week with Hinata because all of them received a clean bill of health. Actually, the babies were gaining weight at a healthy pace. Hinata didn't have any more complications so that was good too.

When she got home with the babies, she walked into a house full of friends. They were throwing her the "After the babies are born Baby Shower because Hinata Already Gave Birth to them/ You passed the GED test Extravaganza." (Jacob named the party.)It was really sweet because they fixed up her room to make accommodations for the babies and their new things. And they framed and hung up her GED certificate above her bed.

By the end of the night, the babies were put to sleep and Hinata had already cried like five times. She just assumed it was because she was coming off of her hormonal high that came with her being pregnant with twins. After everyone left, Kurenai promised that she'd watch the babies while Hinata took a bath. She really hadn't taken a bath in about a week. There was only so much that washing up in a hospital room bathroom could do for someone.

In the Bathroom

Hinata was in the bathtub crying. This wasn't another hormonal breakdown. She was feeling guilty. She was doing the unspeakable to someone that she loved. Granted he hurt her first, but two wrongs never made a right. She was keeping them away from their children because he cheated on her. For her it didn't seem like a fair trade. Her mind instantly went back to how she and Gaara became Gaahina.

Flashback

Five year old Gaara and four year old Hinata were at the playground watching the sunset. It was their favorite time of a summer's day. The colors always amazed Hinata. And Gaara really liked to watch how her facial expressions changed as she watched the sun fall below the colorful horizon. He found them kind of cute and funny to watch…

"Hey Hinata?" his voice brought her out dazed thoughts about how beautiful the sunset is with all of the reds, pinks, blues, purples, yellows and oranges swirled together.

"Y-Yeah G-Gaara?" was her flustered reply.

"I like you." Gaara said flat out with a pink blush starting to come onto his cheeks.

"I- I kn-know y-you l-like me-me. We… We a-are b-best fr-friends." she retorted. She a was confused to say the least. How could best friends not like each other and hang out all the time?

Gaara shook his head. "No Hinata I really like you. And I don't think we can be friends anymore." Her face only got more confused... No her face only got worried.

"W-w-what di-did I-I d-do. I w-won't do it a-again; I-I p-p-promise. I… I'm sorry" Hinata whined. Tears filling up her unique colored eyes.

"No, Hina. I mean I like like you and I want to be your b-boyfriend. Please don't cry. " Gaara explained. His blush was only getting redder.

"O-Oh o-okay." Hinata sniffled. She really didn't understand the logistics of the sacred Boyfriend and Girlfriend thing because she was only four. Neither did Gaara. All they knew was that it was something people did when they liked each other as more than friends.

After giving that answer she got the most unexpected reaction ever; a kiss on the cheek. Her face reddened at the contact and she felt unexplainably happy. Gaara felt like he was officially became KING OF THE SANDBOX.

End of Flashback

"God what the hell am I doing. I just feel so guilty. But I can't go back. He cheated. Basically that's telling me that I never fucking mattered. So he doesn't matter." Hinata thought bitterly as she started to wash her body.

10 Minutes later

Hinata was out of the tub and the babies started to cry. They were hungry. After feeding the babies and putting them back to sleep she watched them for a while and thought. "The only things that matter to me now are my babies. I can't focus on anything or anyone else."

Thanks for reviewing so far. Tell me what you think. The time skip will happen in the next chapter.
