We both hope all of you have enjoyed this story. It has been a joy writing it together and we are already thinking of a new story to work together on.

Hinata slowly stirred awake, her hand reaching over to the spot in the bed next to her. Her hand moved across the soft fabric searching. Pale eyes fluttering open, when she found it empty. Sitting up slowly, she reached for the small switch on the bedside lamp. The soft light only illuminating part of the large bedroom. The rest still cast in shadows. Her eyes searched the room, causing a small frown to appear on her tired, sleep filled face. Sliding out from under, the soft forest green sheets she reached for her robe. Wrapping the soft satin fabric around her lithe body.

Her steps soft and light as she left the room. Peering into the next room she couldn't help the smile that grew on her face. Warmth filled her chest as she watched Shino cradle their infant son tenderly against his bare chest. His small head lay gently, in the crook of his neck. Shino's hand moved up and down rubbing the tiny infants back soothingly.

Hinata's hand went to her lips as she listened to him whisper softly to their son. She treasured each and every one of these moments. With Shino she had finally found true happiness. A happiness she had once feared would never happen. Growing up in the cold Hyuga clan.

Moving away from the door she reached out. Running her hand over the small tuff of auburn hair on their sons head.

"Hinata…" He turned at the sound of her footsteps.

"Why didn't you wake me when Kazuki started crying?" She whispered softly, her pale eyes gazing up lovingly at Shino.

"Your exhausted honey. You have been up late every night this week. Stressing over those clan documents. I wanted you to rest." His hand moving up, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. Their son still held tightly against him. "That and I don't mind getting up at night, to take care of our son."

"Sorry… I just have to make sure all the documents are in order… before I hand them over to the council."

She sighed softly, a line of worry growing on her face. "Everything has to be worded perfectly… so there are no problems in the future. Shino…" She sighed heavily. "Neji is counting on me! What if I forgot something. If they find a loop hole and try and refuse him as clan leader. " His deep eyes watched the panic grow in her. He would be so happy when this damn week was over. It ate at him to see her upset.

Reaching out his arm he pulled her closer, their son wedged lovingly between them. Still lying sound asleep on his father's chest. He moved his hand to caress her cheek before sliding it through her long silken hair. A soft content sigh left her lips as she leaned in. Resting her head on his other shoulder, her hand going up to their son.

"Hinata… my beautiful wife, it's going to be fine. Everything is in place… by the end of the week… Neji will officially be head of the Hyuga clan. A clan that you two have brought together…no longer branch and main but one whole clan. " He brushed a kiss against the crown of her head, his fingers still threaded in her long ebony-blue hair. "Because of you the curse seal has been removed and the new laws will make sure it remains that way. So please my love… stop worrying." Bending down slightly to kiss her pink lips. Pulling back as the baby stirred slightly in his arm.

"Why don't you go back to bed. I will put our little one to bed and join you in a minute."

Smiling Hinata reached up, scooping the baby into her arms. He wiggled slightly, waking from his sleep. A small little yawn coming from his small mouth. He slowly blinked then opened pale white eyes.

"Have I told you how much I love you?" She asked staring up into Shino's dark eyes.

"Yes, but I never grow tired of hearing it." He smiled leaning in to capture her lips once again. Losing himself in it. A small coo bringing them back. Looking down he smiled at his tiny son. His heart swelled proudly as he looked at his tiny family.

The End…
