Chapter 19: Grief

Naruto and Hinata arrived at Hinata's house after they let her out of the hospital. Both were deeply depressed by their loss. They haven't really spoken since then, what was there to say?

Now they have to tell everyone that she had a miscarriage. It was hard enough to come to terms with losing their baby, how were they supposed to even come up with the words to say how they lost it.

"I'm going to bed." Hinata spoke sadly.

"Mind if I join you?"

"I don't mind."

The two walked into her bedroom and Hinata saw the crib. It was beautiful and she loved it. She tried to fight back her tears but lost the battle.

"I-I wanted it to be a suprise.." Naruto looked away.

"I love it."she sniffled and Naruto turned his head toward her, "I just wish that our baby would sleep in here, that's all."

"We can still keep it for another time... I'll move it so you don't have to see it."

"Thank you." Hinata said before crawling into her bed.

"You summoned me here, Hokage?" Hiashi spoke.

"Yes, I'm investigating Hinata's miscarriage. It seems to be like a murder instead of natural causes of a miscarriage."

"Oh my goodness! Is she okay?!" Hiashi looked suprised.

"Cut the bullshit, I know you put Matsu up for this. I came here to know WHY you did that?"

"Hmph... She was getting out of line and I did what any father would do."

"Are you insane? A precious life has been lost because you can't let go."

"How do you expect me to? She is so much like her mother it haunts me." Hiashi said in a hushed tone.

"Hiashi Hyuga, you're facing trial for the murder of Hinata Hyuga and Naruto Uzumaki's unborn child." Tsunade spoke robotically before leaving the Hyuga mansion.

Naruto held Hinata close to him and the two grieved together. They've already been through so much during these months together and it hasn't been a year. If this doesn't break them, nothing will. It would be a struggle to get over the pain but they have to keep working at it.

"I-I'm such a terrible mother! Who does things that could harm a baby?!" she cried.

"You're not at all a terrible mother, you were just naive. You didn't know better."

"How could you stand even be in my presence when I'm the one who let this happen?"

"Because I love you and I know that what happened wasn't your fault. It was that sensei of yours!"

"Naruto don't blame him.."

"No! It's seems to me that as soon as you got pregnant, he made training more harder for you."

"D-Do you think it was planned?"

"Yes."

"Who would do such a thing? Matsu-sensei is a good man, he loves all his students."

"I think I have a pretty good clue." Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"Naruto... Who do you think did it?"

"None other that bastard father of yours."

"I haven't spoke to him in over two months, I don't think it's him."

"He still has hate. He hates that he no longer has control over you. Hiashi is missing a couple of screws."

"It makes sense I guess.." Hinata looked away.

"I know it's hard for you to be in the middle of all this..."

"It's really hard." she admitted.

"I wish it wasn't like this, but I can't just let your father act like he's better than you."

"I understand.." she looked down again.

"I don't know the words to say to make it better... I'm sorry."

"You're trying, which is a start." she smiled weakly.

Naruto kissed her forehead softly and the two fell into a deep sleep.

Sorry for a short chapter and if it's boring, sorry again!
