The big day has finally come for Itachi and Hinata. Niether of them wanting this marriage. This loveless marriage.
The only reason why they were getting married was because of the baby. Not out of love.
They agreed to keep the wedding small. Only inviting close relatives, friends that they told about the baby situation and clan heads. Of course the Hokage had to attend. It was a union amoungst the two most powerful clans in the village, but of course the copy cat ninja also knew the real reason for the union. He is the Hokage.
Hinata was pacing the room, waiting for the wedding ceremony to begin, just so it could end. She doesn't do well with crowds, especially if she's at the center of it.
"Hinata, you ready?".
She glanced at herself in the mirror, wearing a beautiful pale violet Kimono, hugging every curve of her body perfectly and by hugging perfectly, you could see a little bump forming under the silky material.
She realized it's been three months since she found out she's pregnant and is due for a check up. She thought back to the time she told Itachi she's pregnant. It took her one whole month to muster up the courage to just approach the Uchiha prodigy.
She was hiding behind a lamp pole, spying on the Sharingan user. She felt like she was back to her old ways, when she Stalked... Spied... Followed... It really doesn't matter she's over the blonde knuckle head ninja, but that's besides the point.
She had a feeling Itachi knew she was following him. He was the Uchiha prodigy and anbu captain. He'd be a pretty bad at his job if he didn't.
Hinata sighed before coming out from behind the pole.
"So you finally decided to show yourself?" A deep silky voice reached Hinata's ears, making her heart rate increase.
She pointed her pointing fingers together and started nervously twirling them around each other. She looked everywhere but his face.
"Uchiha-San, t-the thing is-" Itachi cut her off.
"Itachi. Call me Itachi."
Hinata raised her gaze towards him and he raised a perfectly arched brow. She took it as a sign to continue.
"I-Itachi-San," she tested it out,"I have something important to discuss with you."
She fiddled with her hands in front of her below her stomach and started chewing on her bottom lip.
Itachi already knew what she wanted to 'discuss'. Yeah they had sex, she's probably became attached or thought they something now. At least he thought he knew what she wanted to talk about and he really doesn't have time for this. He needed an excuse to get out of this.
"Look, Hinata. I'm about to get ready for a mission, can this wait until I'm back?" Well that wasn't a total lie. He actually just got back from the Hokages office with a new mission.
Hinata's face fell.
"Oh I see..." Tears started building up in her eyes. She couldn't handle all this stress anymore.
"Can I see you after the mission?" She asked with hopeful teary eyes. Itachi sighed.
"Okay, I'll return in two weeks. We'll talk then." His gonna have to let her off easy, she is the Hyuuga heiress. So in two weeks his going to listen to what she has to say. It's always innocent girls like her that gets attached easy, well it was her first time. If he'd knew, he wouldn't have bothered but he guessed he was to drunk and heart broken to care.
Hinata gave him a teary smile.
"Thank you, Itachi," She gave him a little bow,"Please, have a safe mission."
"Hn."
He walked away and she watched.
Another knock was heard, breaking hinata out of thought.
Any other day she would've felt beautiful, but not today. She placed her hand on the little bump and took a deep breath, one last glance in the mirror, she turned to open the door. Her sister, Hanabi, let out a gasp when she saw her.
"Wow Hina, you look gorgeous." She exclaimed while wiping off a non existent tear. Hinata rolled her eyes at her sisters dramatic moment.
"Come now they waiting, you took your time opening that door jeez."
Technically it was a month and two weeks before she told him.

Hinata always hated the hospitals, since she lost her mom in one of them. Yet here she is, checking up on the life growing inside of her. She guessed this time around she'll be giving a life in a hospital instead if a life being taken from her.
In case you wondering, Itachi and Hinata didn't spend their wedding night together, no. Instead Itachi took a mission, that the Hokage was reluctant to give him, but gave in. He didn't even spend the night in the village.
He couldn't wait to get away from the whole mess and Hinata knew that. It's been a week since his been gone and he should be back any day now.
"Uchiha-San!"
Hinata looked up to see if there were any Uchiha around. Shocked she didn't notice any when she walked into the room. She took glances over the room but couldn't see a single Uchiha.
"Uchiha-San."
Hinata frowned. Could they not see there's no Uchiha around... Oh.
Hinata turned a dark shade of red at her blonde moment. She's an Uchiha now.
She stood up and walked over to the nurse.
"I'm Hinata Uchiha." She stated with a soft smile, a blush of red still splashed across her face.
The nurse gave her a weird look. Probably thinking what's a Hyuuga doing marrying an Uchiha. They hated each other.
The nurse beckoned her into a room and told her to wait for the doctor to arrive which should be in a short while and that she should change into the hospital gown to make the tests easier.
The moment she was done changing she heard a knock on the door, before she could even give a reply a beautiful young women sticked her head inside the room.
"Oh good you done."
The women stepped inside and Hinata realized it's the doctor.
"Uchiha-San please take a seat and relax."
Hinata stepped onto the little step before sliding onto the cool leather seat.
"Just lift this gown for me please so I can reach your belly."
Hinata obliged and lifted the gown. The doctor put some cold gel onto her stomach making goosebumps raise on her arms.
The doctor started doing her thing and the next thing Hinata hears is the sound of her unborn baby's heart beat. She started tearing up. She can't believe that she's carrying a living being inside her belly.
"That's your baby's right there." The doctor pointed at the screen. Showing Hinata the baby.
"C-can you tell the g-gender yet?"
The doctor shook her head.
"No it's still to early, it turns out you only three months and a few days along. I'm going to give arrange another appointment for you to come back next month, we'll be able to tell then and work out the date you will be due."
The doctor took of her gloves and printed a few pictures for Hinata, after asking if she wanted a picture, while Hinata changed back.
The doctor handed her the pictures as well as a prescription for vitamins she needs to take. Hinata thanked the doctor and left.

When Hinata reached the Uchiha grounds the sun was already setting. Hinata already decided she needed a bath. Her body was aching. She made her way across the compound towards her new house, ignoring the stares.
She sighed before entering the building. It was no head-of-clan mansion, but it wasn't to small either. It was the perfect size for the future family. Three bedrooms (which two are occupied because they came to an agreement of using seperate bedrooms), two bathrooms, Kitchen, living area and dining area. They had a cute little garden out back which Hinata made a mental note to start planting and make it her own. Itachi did mention, when they were moving all their things over before the wedding, she could do as she pleases with the house. Not that he was being nice, but because he won't be their most of the time in any case.
Hinata stomach made a loud embarrassing noise, she blushed. Even tho she's alone, it would've been embarrassing if anyone were around. Hinata decided she'll eat first before taking a long relaxing bath. She made her way to the kitchen, which was her favorite part of this house. She found that it suited her expectations perfectly and was the first thing she made her own.
She started taking out the ingredients, utensils and pots she needed for cooking. She put on her apron and tied up her long luscious hair before washing her hands.
Hinata started her magic. To her, she might not be the best cook, but she's not bad at cooking either, she was average. She boiled up some rice and decided she's craving fish. While Hinata was busy preparing she started humming a tune of a song her mom sang to her when she was still alive, Hinata couldn't remember every word but she'll never forget that tune. She was in her own little bubble that she didn't even notice the sound of the door opening and closing.
Itachi leaned against the kicthen door frame watching his bride in her element. Frowning.
'She's suppose to be a shinobi, yet she didn't even sense me'
Itachi glanced around the kitchen, slightly impressed with the job she done in making the kitchen a kitchen. He felt the need to let her know, but that thought vanished when his eyes landed on the refrigerator. There, stuck to the fridge with a magnet, was a picture. A sonogram of the baby. His baby currently growing inside the naive women he had to marry. Itachi still has mixed feelings about this. His going to be a father. Don't get him wrong, he would've been ecstatic if the women he loved was having his baby, but sadly it was a stranger. Before his thoughts started to upset him and force him to reminisce about his traitorous lover, Itachi cleared his throat, still frowning. Hinata, nearly dropping the pan she was holding, snapped her head towards Itachi direction. Big lavender eyes filled with shocked.
"Itachi-San! I didn't see you there." Hinata looked away from him towards the pan, blushing hard out of embarrassment.
A loud ramble made Hinata blush even more, but she realized that this time it wasn't her stomach. She turned to Itachi who raised an eyebrow at her, trying to hide his embarrassment.
"Care for some fish?"
