I was re-reading some of the earlier chapters in this fic and I realized that it's pretty much centered on Sakura. I didn't mean for this to happen and so this chapter is Hinata centered.

Epilogue

"Naruto!", twenty four year old Hinata called to her husband of four years, "We're going to be late!"

He stumbled down the stairs of their apartment, pulling on the jacket of his tuxedo. Smiling at her he said,

"What, are we late?" Hinata just rolled her eyes, when you lived with Naruto you were always running late.

"The baby sitter will be here any minute and then we can go."

As soon as the words had left her mouth there was a knock on the door. Moegi (sp?) stepped in side closing the door behind her. Seemingly out of no where two young boys and a little girl ran into the room. Hinata looked lovingly down at her children, all three had her dark hair and pale blue eyes, a result of the mixing of her almost white eyes and Naruto's cerulean blue ones (Hinata was thankful that all three of them had pupils and wouldn't be teased about their eyes).

"I'm sorry to rush out on you but Naruto is the best man and we're running late." Hinata said stepping through the door.

"No problem, I'll see you around six?"

"Six." Hinata confirmed.

"Hey Moegi, how's Konohamaru?" Naruto asked also stepping out side.

"For the last time we are NOT going out!" she yelled shutting the door.

"I never said they were." a confused Naruto said to his wife, who in turn laughed.

The wedding was beautiful, flowers (supplied by Ino) covered the walls and flowed from every vase in sight. Chairs had been set up along the aisle and guests were sitting in their seats. Hinata hurried to stand with the other brides maids while Naruto took his spot as best man.

Sasuke stood at the altar looking slightly relieved that Naruto had made it but more than that he looked nervous. Hinata remembered waiting for the cue to walk down the aisle at her own wedding and bounced up and down on the balls of her feet one time in anticipation.

The music started and Sakura walked down the aisle alone. She had wanted to have Kakashi walk her down the aisle but had decided against it last minute, saying something about being independent and strong. She seemed to glide along, her face radiating joy.

"Sasuke, when I first met you I was afraid of you or rather what you could do, but then I got to know you and my fear melted away. Fear again found me when I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, the fear that you wouldn't wish for the same thing. Again you proved my fear to be false when you gave me a ring, and the fear left. I must be terribly insecure though because again I am afraid, this time afraid that you will be called on a mission and never return. But you've taught me something, that loneliness is a price I must pay to love and be loved. It's a price I'm willing to pay, even if you leave before I'm ready to let go. Sasuke I love you. To be with you for the rest of my life is truly my happily ever after." Sakura recited her vow.

Looking around at all the glamor Hinata realized that though every thing was beautiful, they were still ninja. Sakura she knew had the slit up the side of her gown so that she could have easy access to the weapons pouch she was hiding. Tenten had her panda buns (though she usually wore her hair down now) held up by senbon, and Ino had small Chinese throwing stars dangling from her ears and a larger one on her necklace. Hinata herself had kunai hidden away.

"I do."

As she was analyzing the wedding Hinata realized she had completely missed Sasuke's vows and the ceremony was almost over.

"I pronounce you man and wife, you may now kiss the bride."

Hinata was analyzing again, this time she was watching the couples during the reception. Shikamaru had him arm lazily draped around Ino's waist and she was whispering some thing to him. Sasuke was holding his new bride, well bridal style, and Neji had his arms around Tenten's shoulders while she stood in front of him her hands on her swollen stomach. Naruto's arm was protectively laced around Hinata's own waist, and she found herself thinking that with three children, the man of her dreams, and the last of her friends happily married, that life just didn't get any better.

"Hey Hinata! Have you seen Kurenai-sensei?" It was almost funny how Kiba the rebel of her old team was the only one who still called their ex-teacher 'sensei'.

"No, I haven't why?"

Kiba grabbed her shoulders and turned Hinata towards the lawn where couples were dancing, jarring Naruto's arm in the process. Right in the center Kakashi gracefully spun Kurenai around, though it was crowded Hinata didn't miss the delicate smile on her former sensei's face.

"How about that? Kakashi and Kurenai...we should have seen that coming after our Christmas party last year, huh?" Naruto asked lightly slipping his arms around her waist again.

"I guess we should have.." She answered lost in thought.

"So when do you think their wedding will be?" Kiba asked, squinting as he lost sight of them.

"Soon, very soon." The three spun around to see Kakashi standing beside them and Kurenai still gasping over the diamond ring on her finger.

As the rest of the former rookie nine wandered over to see what all the commotion was, Hinata vaguely heard some one say, "Sakura-chan, you have to throw the bouquet!"

Smiling she shook her head instead the pink haired kunoichi handed the arrangement of flowers to the red eyed fiancé of her former sensei,

"Here, your going to need these a lot more than I will.", and quietly she added to Kakashi, "Sasuke and I are coming over to your apartment before she moves in."

"Whatever for, Mrs. Uchiha?" He asked innocently.

"Oh, spring cleaning, among other things." she answered with a wave of her hand, smiling at the use of her new last name.

"Of course."

This, Hinata thought as she watched all of her friends laughing and conversing and stole a furtive glance at her husband, is the happily ever after that I've always dreamed of.
