Just a side note, in a separate one shot I have on my laptop, Ino comes to visit Hinata for advice and it comes out that Hinata is pregnant. It is set before Amber Dawn. I lost my laptop charger.
As she watched the door shut Hinata pulled the green blanket around her tighter. She didn't know how he was going to react, but she had been optimistic hoping he'd be happy. Sasuke shutting her out and walking away wasn't the worse thing that could of happened, but it didn't feel good regardless.
Sighing sadly to herself Hinata stood, the blanket like a cloak from the world, and picked her porridge up. IfSasuke was going to run off she may as well take dinner in their bedroom. Lost in thought the mother to be stared at her food. He didn't have to make dinner for her, he obviously cared at some level.
Maybe he wasn't ready for children. Sure, they had been trying, but perhaps reality had finally hit him. Or she could just be over reacting, her husband could just need time to process it all. Sasuke wasn't one for surprises. Shoving the last bite of dinner into hr mouth Hinata decided she would just talk to him about it tomorrow.
Laying her empty bowl down she yawned and settle down for bed. It was only six oh clock, but pregnancy has thus far left her exhausted. Only a couple minutes passed before she was fast asleep, clutching the grey blanket to her face.
Hinata tried talking to Sasuke, but he was never home and when he was her husband was in the shed out back, also know has the 'Uchiha Sasuke only room'. Even Naruto left his best friend alone when h as in the shed. They had passed each other in the hall way, but he always looked so tired or focused and she just couldn't bring herself to disturb him. Then at night she lay there silent has he laid down to bed beside her.
In no time two weeks had passed. A loud knocking reached Hinata's ears and she peeped outside itch her byakugan. Ino was here to see her. Putting a less miserable expression on her face Hinata welcomed her friend in with a hug. "How is my favorite mama doing? I know you haven't gone public yet, buuuut I saw this in the store and couldn't help myself. " Ino shoved a bright yellow and green bag at her face.
Blushing pink Hinata took the bag and smiled, "T-thanks, Ino-chan." The blonde all but drug her friend the the couch, bouncing with each step, "Oh, my word you should of seen, Kiba's face when he found me in the baby aisle. He thought I was pregnant! It was hilarious, of course I set him straight, but don't worry, hun, he doesn't know his favorite Hyuuga is preggo."
The wayIno practically sang the word preggo made Hinata feel better. So what if Sasuke wasn't happy, she sure was. It was really quite selfish for him to be acting like this. The darkening expression on the pale mother's face caused Ino to stop prattling. "Hey, Hinata, is something bothering you?"
Don't keep everything locked up inside. That had been advice she'd been given countless times. "Well, err, I told Sasuke...he hasn't been the same since." Soft moonstone eyes stared down at the gift bag on her lap.
The snort like sound Ino made was indescribable, " So, mister I-want-to-have-lots-of-Uchiha-babies is shell shocked. That is priceless." After taking a few moment to laugh the blonde composed herself, " Sasuke is such a man." Leaning over Ino gave her dear friend a big hug, " Look Mama don't you worry, auntie Ino is on the case!"
Standing up Ino headed towards the door only to stop and turn around, "You'll be opening that gift was Sasuke in no time, Hinata. Promise!"
Staring as another person walked out the door Hinata wondered if Ino could be the embodiment of a whirlwind. Wild, strong, and uncontrollable. Staring at the gift she fidgeted. She always hated waiting to open gifts, the curiousity drove her insane.
Sasuke had been gazing into the window of a baby store when a slender arm snaked around his shoulder. Then he felt someone whispering in his ear, "Alright, Daddy tell me why you're ignoring Mama." Turning his head dark midnight eye stared at Ino. "I'm not ignoring her."
Ino unwound herself from the sour Uchiha and stood beside him, hand on her hip. "Look Sasuke, I realize I never knew you very well and you're dark and gloomy attitude was cool, when I was twelve, but were adults now. You have to stop that shit. I know you and Hinata have gone a long way from when you first got married."
Sasuke tried to open his mouth to say something only to have a hand wave in front of his face. "Don't interrupt Sasuke, I'll lose my train of thought. Anyway, I was in the front of the line for mission 'Stop That Wedding!', but it happened. Hinata was miserable for months, even if she'd never admit it to anyone. What I'm trying to say is, you're a husband and daddy now,it is time to open up."
Before Sasuke could grunt again in indifference, the blonde was gone. Staring at the spot he felt a sigh pass through his lips. Half of what Ino had said made no sense to him, but he did get it was time to show his feelings to his wife.
Bending his knees Sasuke leaped up and landed on the roof of the store. Going from rooftop to rooftop would be the quickest route home. Had Hinata really been miserable at the beginning? Sure, he was the most receptive of other peoples emotions, but miserable was such a strong word.
That part of their lives was over now. They were going to be parents, he could start over. There was going to be this little bundle of life that didn't see him as a traitor or a murderer. Sasuke found himself imaging a small bundle with the same shining moonstone eyes that his wife held. He had the chance to give something pure and untainted to the world.
Dropping down from a tree he landed near his front gate. In a few quick strides he was in his home. "Hinata!" Sasuke called out, before he noticed her staring at a gift bag on the living room table.
Rushing to her lethal hand and pulled her along with him, "Close your eyes." He spoke sternly, his heart pounding in his chest. Doing things like this was out of his comfort zone. Still feeling her worried gaze on his face he turned and shook her hand, "Just do it, Hinata."
Biting her lip Hinata complied. She could only imagine what was going through his head. What had Ino said to him to make him react so unusually. "Sasuke," she was unable to say more before he sushed her.
Forcing herself to relax Hinata let herself trust Sasuke. He led her what felt like the direction of their bed room, only to be stopped, she heard him slide a door open and then he pulled her inside. He lead her to what she thought was the middle of the room. With out warning Hinata felt herself pressed up against her husband intimately. Sasuke's cold forehead rested against her own, she could feel his breath tickle her skin, "I'm not good with words." Sasuke stepped back, "Open.."
Slowly Hinata opened her eyes, first she looked at the emotion in Sasuke's eyes before she noticed the room around her. Against the wall was a white crib, with crisp white sheets, a small wicker rocking chair was beside it, under the window was a little table with a trash bin beside it, and against the other wall was a rolled up futon.
The best thing about the room, what made the tears in her eyes fall wasn't the fact she could tell the crib was hand made. No, what made her break down was how the room was painted. It was painted to resemble the rising sun. The floorboards started it off brilliant pastel orange and then the wall followed the patterned as it slowly faded into a warm, sunflower yellow. The ceiling of the room looked as if the colors of her and Sasuke's danced together and made the night sky.
Reaching out, Hinata laced her fingers through Sasuke's, tears spilling down her cheeks. He didn't reach over and brush them away he simply pulled her in tight and hid his own face in soft, dark hair.
Outside the sun was beginning to set, but in their own world Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata was wrapped up in the own sunrise. A new dawn was approaching and with that came fresh hope for a brighter day.
A/n: Yaaaaay. I love ending paragraphs of stories. I feel happy with how things ended in this story.
I have a new story in the works. It will be an AU and a SasuHina. It will be multichaptered.
