Shy Girls Aren't Angels
Epilogue
"Hi baby!" Ino said as we walked into the Uchiha house hold.
My eight month old son gave her a big smile as he wobbled to her. He fell down and tried to get up again.
Ino picked him up as spun him around and he began to chuckle uncontrollably. He babbled something in baby language.
"My god Ino, slow down. You don't want to get him dizzy." Mikoto said as she walked out of her kitchen wearing an apron.
Ino placed Tama back down on the floor, and walked to Mikoto to give her a hug. Tama's onyx eyes looked at me and he gave me a big cute smile. He crawled to me and reached for me, so I picked him up.
"Hi sweetheart." I said as I kissed him. He grinned.
I walked towards Mikoto as she kissed me on my cheek.
"Hinata! How was school today?" She asked we walked to the kitchen to where she was baking cake. It smelled good.
I put Tama on the counter as I played with him and tickled him.
"It was fine. I missed Tama though."
Ino slammed her binder on the table startling Tama. She kissed him as she apologized to him.
"She really did. She took my binder away from me just so she could stare at his picture." She explained.
It was true. She had pictures of him and her on her binder. Ino had really grown to love him. She treated him like her son. She even joked about getting knocked up herself, a joke her dad didn't find too funny.
"Well I'm pretty sure he missed you too. He kept crying and hasn't even slept yet. He didn't stop until I gave him one of Sasuke's old toys. Then we went to look at the elementary school. They've started putting in some furniture."
"So have you decided a name for the school?"
"I was thinking 'The Uchiha, Kazuye Elementary school'. Tama liked it." Mikoto said as she smiled at him.
I looked at him and he was chewing on Ino's binder.
I smiled.
"I like it too."

"I wish the guys would get here soon. The photographer will be here soon." Mikoto said as I helped her set the tables.
"Ugh….I think somebody pooped." Ino said holding her nose, as Tama grinned at her.
"Oh boy…that's nasty Tama." I said as I took him from her and went to his room.
The room had been repainted yellow after he came home from the hospital. It had first been purple because of the gender confusion which still remained a mystery to me.
I placed him on the table that was reserved for when someone was changing his diaper and began to change his diaper as I did my best not to throw up.
While I was struggling to breath he was trying to reach his mobile that Sasuke had made in one of his classes.
Once I was done I took him back downstairs to find that the table was already done and Thanksgiving dinner was ready.
"Smells great!" Ino said.
I agreed.
Soon the door opened, and Neji was arguing with Naruto as they entered. After them my father and Mr. Uchiha also came in arguing about last night's college basketball game.
"Do you guys have to come in arguing?" Ino said glaring at Neji and Naruto.
"Yes, do you?" Mikoto said to the older men.
"No." They all said in union.
" Hi Tama." Naruto said as he ruffled Tama's hairs. Tama smiled at him.
After he was finish playing with him, Naruto walked over to Ino and gave her a kiss. I smiled at both of my friends, happy that they loved each other, and not at all jealous of their happy relationship.
It was as if she was made for him, and he to her. I was happy for them.
"Where's? Hanabi?" I asked my father as he took Tama from me.
"And Sasuke?" Mikoto said sitting next to her husband.
"Hanabi is at a friend's house."
"Sasuke said he had an errand to do."
We nodded as everybody went back tot doing their own thing.
* * *
Sasuke came into the house thirty minutes later.
Tama immediately crawled to him, reached for him. Sasuke smiled a bit wary, but picked him up none the less.
I hadn't seen him in a couple of days even though I came over almost everyday to see Tama. He was never home.
Our eyes met, and I gave him a small smiled.
"Where did you go?" Naruto asked walking over to Sasuke.
"Are you stalking me idiot?" Sasuke said looking a bit annoyed.
"Is it obvious?" Naruto joked.
I couldn't believe after hating each other for a lot of years, they were almost best friends now. How did that happen? I had no idea. I just knew now they hung out more than they did before.
"Hey sweetie, you're home. Are you ok?" Mikoto asked hugging Sasuke as if he was a baby himself.
"Mom…stop embarrassing me. I'm a young adult and a father. I don't need you hugging me." He said a bit annoyed.
Naruto and Ino laughed at him, and I couldn't help but giggle. We all knew how Sasuke was a mommy's boy.
She smiled as she kissed his cheek.
"You'll always be my baby." She said and right then the door bell rang.
"The photographer is here!" Mikoto said excitedly as she went to the door.
* * * *
After a whole day of sitting around the table and having a good time, Tama had fallen asleep.
I went to his room to check for him but I got startled when I saw he wasn't there. I was heading for downstairs when I caught Sasuke laying on his bed with Tama.
I was jealous to be honest. Of both Tama and Sasuke.
I was jealous of Sasuke because of the relationship he was developing with Tama, and I was jealous of Tama because he was a lot closer to Sasuke than ever.
"His breathing sounds like a song." Sasuke mumbled.
I blushed, embarrassed that I had been staring at my ex-boyfriend and my son.
"Does it?"
"Yeah. Come listen." Sasuke said patting the side opposite side of the bed.
I hesitated awkwardly.
Sasuke and I broke up the second time two months after Tama was born. Our relationship was weird. We were a couple but we weren't. We were like the people who got divorced but lived in the same house and slept in the same bed.
I laid on the bed and didn't breath for a while. They looked way too much like each other. Father and son. Sasuke and Tama.
Where did that leave me?
"You're a good dad." I blurted.
He didn't say anything, nor did he move. I felt stupid.
"Thanks." He finally said.
I moved closer to Tama for comfort. His breathing was like a son.
I was feeling suffocated.
"Why did you break up with me?" I asked finally.
It had been a question I had been holding back for eight months. A question I tried not to ask but, I had to. It was the cause of the awkwardness between us.
He didn't say anything. I began to get angry.
"You lied." I spoke looking at him as he look up at the ceiling.
"About what?"
"Last year, you said you'd talk to me more. That you'd tell me what you're feeling. You said you'd stop being a robot…but you lied. You're even worse."
"Can we talk about this later? Why are you bringing this up now?" He said annoyed.
"No. Let's talk about this now. Are you scared to be with me?" I asked.
"No."
" What is wrong?!"
I yelled silently at him.
"I don't want this! I don't want this future. I don't want to a freaking dad at age eighteen. I want to be normal!"
I was beyond hurt.
"I can't believe you." I said wiping the tears that were falling.
"Let me finish." He commanded.
Tama stretched a bit but didn't wake up. I watch as Sasuke looked at him.
"I don't want any of this…. But I love you so much. I swear to God Hinata, you and this baby are my life."
"You're so confusing Sasuke. You say one thing, and then you do another thing."
"I'm scared of commitment." He said as his eyes met mine.
"What?" I said lost.
"I broke up with you because I'm scared of commitments. My dad was talking about marriage, and pressuring me to marry you, and that just scared me. I couldn't do it. It wasn't the fact that I was going to be with you two forever, it's the fact that what if I'm not a good husband…or a good dad?
What if I turn into my own dad? I don't want you to deal with that. My mom… I don't understand how she did it. You remind me so much of her, and I'm a reflection of my father.
My dad has cheated on my mom so many times,.."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"I don't want to be like that…" He said looking at me.
"You're not…" I sobbed.
I felt bad for crying over Tama like that.
"Even if I was… I want to be with you. For the rest of my life. I'm not perfect, I never will be…but will you give me a chance?" He asked.
I nodded..
"Will you marry me?" He asked wiping my tears. I could tell it took him a lot of courage.
His hand was shaking. He used his other hand and dug in his pocket and pulled out a box.
"Not now….but when we're ready. When things calm down a little, and when I'm sure this is the right thing to do." He said as he cupped my face.
I nodded.
"I'll wait, even till forever." I said honestly. He gave me the box.
"It's a promise ring. I'm promising to marry you soon." He said. I kissed him
I really did love him. I knew getting married was a big thing, but as long as I was with Sasuke, and Tama, then I'm sure.
He leaned over and kissed me.
"Guys! Not over Tama, please! He's only an infant." Ino said as she came in between us and took Tama to his room.
I cuddled with Sasuke.
This…Them…. They were my future.
A future I was looking forward to.
