Prompt Fifteen: Presents
"Itachi," a voice called, "Itachi wake-up."
Usually Itachi could wake-up in an instant but he could feel the cold air outside his bed and the warmth from under the covers was warm and inviting.
So, he ignored the voice, turning away.
"Itachi, please, it's Christmas!" the voice whispered again, hands gently pressing against his shoulder.
"Hinata, it's one of the rare days we have off together, can't we stay in bed just a little longer?" he asked, finally turning to face his wife.
But he regretted it instantly.
Her eyes were lit up with pure happiness, excitement radiating from her body.
Itachi looked up into those large, hoe filled eyes and he knew he was fighting a losing battle.
He smiled and sat up, gently kissing his wife on the lips before finally getting out of bed.
Hinata soon followed, jumping out of the bed and rushing beside him to take his hand.
He dared not even mention that he really needed the bathroom. He could hold it for a while longer.
The couple made their way down to the main living area where a small Christmas tress stood, a few presents laying beneath it.
As they entered the room, two small cats came up to them. One pure black and the other a patchy white. Both husband and wife gently greeted the small animals, gently patting their heads and wishing them a merry Christmas.
Hinata grinned widely, rushing over to pick up the stocking beside it.
"This is for you guys, Mint and Pepper." She smiled, reaching in to pick out the item within it.
Inside were packed of milk drops, a small amount of cat-nip, new collars and several small toys.
The cats were not incredibly interested but were very much enjoying being able to sit close to Hinata's warm body.
She smiled at her husband then, giving him the large present from under the tree, an excited smile present on her face.
Itachi receive the gift happily, sitting on the floor beside her and gently unwrapping the gift.
He could see Hinata's feet twitch beneath her as she cross-legged before him.
Inside was a selection of 'Land of Fire's Finest Teas', every type of tea Itachi had ever tried in the land was present in the box, several of the more popular ones available.
Alongside the box was a small voucher, giving him free access to any traditional tea store in the Land of Earth.
"Thank you, Hinata." He smiled warmly, wrapping his arms around his pregnant wife, kissing her softly on the mouth.
She was smiling so softly when he pulled away.
He picked up a gift beneath the tree, handing it to Hinata.
She eagerly accepted the gift, opening the box quickly but carefully.
Her eyes widened in awe as she looked at the object within the box.
Inside was a small silver necklace, beautiful silver leaves encrusting a small ruby placed perfectly in the centre.
"Itachi, we agreed on small presents." She said, gently picking up the piece of jewlery.
"It was my grandmother's, it's passed on to the future matriarch of the Uchiha clan, after the birth of their first child. My mother wore it after I was born." He explained.
He saw small tears simmer in her eyes and she lunged at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her held in his shoulder.
"Thank you, it's so beautiful." She whispered, moving away to kiss his lips.
He held he against him, kissing her for a moment longer, feeling her large stomach against him.
He pulled away and reaching for the final present under the tree.
"And finally, a present for baby Uchiha." Itachi smiled, handing the last gift to Hinata.
She gave him a curious look, opening the present.
She laughed out loud as she pulled out the baby-grow from the paper.
A tiny little blue outfit, the words 'All My Siblings Have Paws' wrote on the front and a tiny Uchiha clan symbol stitched proudly on the back.
