Chapter 17

"Can we have a big chocolate cake?" Haru asks, peeking into his parents' room.

"If your mother wants one and if you are still here when the wedding happens. It takes time to plan these things. They generally don't happen overnight." He tells Haru.

"Chocolate is fine with me." Hinata says.

"Alright. Chocolate it is." Sasuke states.

"Yay!" Haru says and darts over into their bed and cuddles up to his parents, happy that it was all over now.

"He's very easy to make happy. Just like his father." Hinata says with a smile and wraps her arms around Haru.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke asks in amusement.

"As long as you have your family and training, you are a happy man." She says.

"Well yeah." Sasuke says, resting his head on top of Hinata's, and wrapping his arms around his future wife and son.

"Father, really does love training." Haru says seriously, drawing a laugh from Hinata.

"You will too one day. When you find the right sparring partner training becomes VERY fun." Sasuke says with a perfectly straight face.

"Mikoto trains with me sometimes! So does Tai!" He says.

"..." Sasuke didn't even know how to respond to that.

"It's good that you are close to your brothers and sisters." Hinata offers diplomatically.

"Yeah! They even taught me the Bubble Eye Jutsu." He continues.

"Do I even want to know?" Sasuke asks dryly.

Haru demonstrates and Sasuke blinks. Alright. That was fucking adorable. Of course he'd never admit that out loud. He had reputation to protect after all.

"That's a very powerful Jutsu." Hinata smiles.

"Yeah! Mikoto has her own version of it, but it only works on boys. She used to use it more often people, now it's mostly for Takeshi." He says.

"Who is Takeshi and what version?" Sasuke asks, feeling himself twitch.

"The Eyelash Jutsu. Oh Takeshi is Kazekage. His father used to be Kazekage, but Gaara retired when Takeshi turned 16." Haru says.

"Sasuke, don't even think about it. You can't pick a fight with Gaara over his son...who doesn't exist yet!" Hinata says.

"I wasn't going to pick a fight. I just think we should discuss this...situation." He says.

"Takeshi is a few months older than big sister. Mei is pregnant. Gaara and Mei are keeping it secret. They want to wait until after she has Takeshi to get married." Haru says.

"Mei's the MOTHER?" Sasuke asks in disbelief.

"Yeah." His son confirms.

"What's wrong with Mei?" Hinata asks.

"Nothing. Wow. Gaara landed himself a cougar." Sasuke mutters.

"Should I feel jealous?" Hinata demands.

"What? No! Of course not." Sasuke says and puts up his hands in a defensive gesture.

"Good." She grumbles.

"Hinata, I love you. You are the only woman I want. You're carrying one of our children right now. I proposed to you. You have NOTHING to worry about." He tells her.

"I love you too. I'm sorry. I think it's just hormones." She mumbles.

"If you're feeling a little insecure, I can remind you just how much I love you after Haru goes to bed." He whispers in her ear.

Hinat shivers and nods. Sasuke smirks and cuddles closer to her. Now the biggest issue was dealing with Hiashi and yeah, he'd probably have to have a chat with Gaara soon.

A few days later, Gaara arrives in the Leaf to speak with the Hokage about some trade deals. He was shocked when he got ambushed by Sasuke. What the Hell?

"Naruto told me that you have a son now...or are going to? Congratulations seem to be in order?" He asks uncertainly.

"Yeah. Same to you. Hinata is expecting our firstborn. Haru is apparently one of our younger children. This one is going to be a daughter." He states.

"Oh. That's good." The red head says.

"According to Haru, your son knows her. Something about her using an Eyelash Jutsu on him." He continues.

"What the Hell is an Eyelash Jutsu? What does that even mean?" Gaara asks.

"You know...a woman sometimes bats her eyelashes at a man when she wants something or is flirting." The oldest Uchiha says and he couldn't believe he had to explain this to Gaara.

"Oh...there's a name for that?" The Kazekage inquires.

"There is now or will be, I guess. What are we going to do about this though?" Sasuke asks.

"Well we can't really do anything about it now. Wonderful, my son is going to be seduced by an Uchiha. My poor son...she's probably going to try to whip him or something." Gaara says and smacks his forehead.

"EXCUSE ME?! What's that supposed to mean?!" Sasuke demands.

"Just that if she's anything like you, she's probably favors a rougher style of affection." He states.

"Are you trying to imply that my daughter is some sort of..." He trails off.

"Dominatrix? More than likely. Unless she takes after Hinata. If she takes after Hinata, then I'm not worried for his physical safety." He elaborates.

"Don't talk about my daughter that way! Your son is a sucker! He falls for the oldest trick in the book? Seriously, all it takes is her batting her eyes at him and she's leading him around by his dick!" Sasuke bristles.

"I sincerely doubt that she is leading him around in such a fashion!" Gaara snaps at him.

"Anyway, what are we going to do about this?" He asks.

"It's not my fault that your daughter is apparently a seductress, but I'll talk to him when he's old enough to understand. You do the same to her! At least, I can safely assume that she won't be weak. So that's good. I don't want a weak Daughter-In-Law." He states.

"Daughter-In-Law?!" Sasuke demands.

"That is what you call your son's wife, is it not?" The Kazekage inquires.

"Yes, it is. Who said they were getting married?" He demands.

"Well the way you were talking about her leading him around like that, it was implied!" The red head states.

"Good point. Well...if he's Kazekage. He's got to be strong. At least he can keep her safe." Sasuke mutters.

"I'm glad we had this talk." He says.

"Me too. I guess I should let you get to your meeting. I have to go with Hinata to do some wedding planning." Sasuke says.

"Ah yes, that. I have a plan for my wedding with Mei. I'm just going to let her do what she wants. I care more about the Honeymoon than the actual wedding anyway." He admits.

"Gaara, I think I might grow to like you. That's exactly how I feel." Sasuke says with a smirk.

Gaara heads off to go meet with Kakashi. Sasuke flits back to Hinata. They were going to look at cakes today. Haru was really excited about this.

"I want that one!" He says pointing to the biggest chocolate cake.

"Haru, that's bigger than me." Sasuke says in amusement.

"It has to be big. Aoda likes chocolate too!" He points out.

"Good choice." One of the bakers says and walks over with a smile.

He had heard that Sasuke and Hinata had a child. But he hadn't believed it. Now looking at the adorable little boy there was no doubt. How a former S Class Criminal ninja had sired such an innocent looking son, was beyond his comprehension. The boy greatly resembled his father, but those were definitely Hyuga eyes.

"I think some red frosting roses would look nice on it." Hinata says and leans into Sasuke's arms.

"Works for me." Sasuke states and places a light kiss on her cheek.

"How soon do you think you could have another cake like this ready, with the roses?" Sasuke asks the baker.

"Well a cake that size would probably take at least a week, if we didn't drop our other orders." He says.

"That's fine. We still have lots of planning to do." Hinata says with a sweet smile.

"Wonderful." The baker says and he writes down the order.

Hiashi walks into the bakery. He had heard whispers from the other villagers. They had seen a wedding ring on Hinata's hand. They saw the couple and their son walk into a bakery. It didn't take a genius to realize what they were doing.

"Daughter, you are looking well and I am pleased to see that Haru appears to be fully recovered?" He offers.

"I much better grandfather." Haru says, deciding to play nice because for once he wasn't call, boy.

"Good." Hiashi says.

"We just picked out a cake. It's a really big one! Chocolate's your favorite, right? That's what you told Akemi?" Haru asks.

"Grandfather, I want to surprise Sachi for her birthday! We should make her a cake. A really big cake!" Akemi said.

Hiashi chuckled. Akemi was definitely the most assertive of all his grandchildren. He honestly pitied the boys of the village in a few years. She was...rather feisty and deadly with a kunai. And boy was she stubborn, once she got an idea into her head...there was no stopping her.

"Alright. I shall have our Branch Members prepare her a fine cake." He stated.

"No! We should make it! It's more special that way." Akemi said.

"Don't be silly. People of our station do not bake cakes. We leave such menial tasks to those who are more suited for them." He told her.

That's when she unleashed that damn Bubble Eye Jutsu. Hiashi wasn't going to lie. That shit worked. He sighs and resigns himself to playing the part of a baker, if only for a day.

"Can I help?" Haru asked.

"Of course you can." Hiashi told him.

"What kind of cake are we making?" The boy asked with a big smile.

"Chocolate. It's my favorite. I believe it is Sachi's as well." He answered.

"Okay!" Haru said and he raced around the kitchen, grabbing the necessary items.

"Yes, chocolate is my favorite. Akemi? Is that what you are naming her?" He asks Sasuke.

"No. This one we are naming after my mother." He says to Hiashi and gives him a look as if DARING the Hyuga Patriarch to argue.

"I see. Mikoto." He muses.

"You knew my mother?" Sasuke asks.

"In passing. She was married to the Head of another Noble Clan. A sweet tempered woman. I have no idea how she sired you." He says.

"Sasuke!" Hinata says and holds her future husband back from lunging at Hiashi.

"I think that might be his version of a joke." Sasuke growls.

"It is. Very clever." He tells him.

"Father, Sasuke...please." Hinata pleads.

"Oh alright. I won't provoke him further. Old habits die hard." Hiashi mutters.

"Thank you." Hinata says with a smile.

"I will of course pay for the wedding, as is the custom. Price is not a factor." He tells him.

"I don't want or need your money." Sasuke tells him.

"I know you don't. But it is still tradition. Besides, we should at least attempt to act as family. We do after all, love the same people." He continues.

Sasuke didn't like it. But Hiashi had a point there. It would make Hinata happy. He definitely didn't want to stress her during her pregnancy further. She'd already had suffered too much of that thanks to those Black Market Dealers. Who Sasuke was sure, were burning in Hell right now. Right where they belonged.

"Fine." Sasuke relents.

Later that day, Hinata gets drug off by the female members of the Rookie Nine to go dress shopping. She eeps. The shy woman was a bit overwhelmed by the more aggressive personalities of her friends.

"She should have a veil." Ino says.

"No veil." Sakura argues.

"Listen, it's tradition. If you had any class you would know that!" Ino growls.

"Why cover her face in the hot sun?! It doesn't make any sense!" The pink haired ninja protested.

"Oh boy. They are going to be at this for hours." Tenten says with a sigh.

Hinata nods. While the two were bickering, she looked around the shop. There were so many choices. Modern, traditional, and everything in between. Silk, satin, cotton, lace, and other fabrics she didn't recognize. Some dresses were rather conservative, others made her blush just to look at them. So many choices. It was overwhelming. How was she ever going to decide?

"So...no Bachelorette Party?" Tenten asks.

"No. Sasuke wouldn't like it anymore than I would like him having a Bachelor Party." She says instantly.

"Possessive, huh?" She asks.

"You have no idea. It's okay though. I like it." She says with a smile.

"What's he like when you two are...together?" Sakura asks.

"Sakura! I can't believe you just asked her that! Of all the tacky things to ask, you picked the most tacky!" Ino huffs and swats the medic!

"Oh knock it off, you were just as curious as I was." Sakura glowers.

"Well...it varies. He doesn't really stick to one style of lovemaking. He's very...attentive and creative though." She says.

"Creative how?" Ino asks.

"I thought you said it was tacky to ask?!" The only female member of Team Seven yells at the florist.

"Well she doesn't seem to mind answering!" She says.

"Well one time he made love to me at the same time as his clone did." She answers.

Hinata smiles when she found a beautiful dress. This one was perfect. She blinks when she hears two loud thuds. The bluenette turns around to see what fell? Had she accidentally knocked over some dresses?

No, it wasn't the dresses. It was Sakura and Ino. Apparently the thought of two naked Sasukes was too much for them to handle. Hinata shakes her head and couldn't help but giggle.

"I never knew that planning a wedding was so damn complicated." Sasuke mutters to Hiashi, elsewhere in the village.

"Yes, I had the same reaction when I was in your shoes many years ago. To women, the wedding is one of the most important moments of their lives. To us, well most men are more interested in the Honeymoon." He states.

"Yeah. Wait...you too?" He asks skeptically, it was hard to imagine Hiashi having a sex drive.

Sasuke knew that Hiashi had to have sex at least twice in his miserable life. Otherwise Hinata and Hanabi wouldn't be here, but it was difficult to imagine him as being passionate.

"Of course. I'm a man just like anyone else. Fortunately for you, I have already sent out the invitations." He says.

"Who'd you invite?" Sasuke asks suspiciously.

"All the important people." He answers.

"Uh huh." Sasuke says.

The next week passed in a blur to Sasuke. He wasn't sure how Hiashi managed to organize such a grand wedding in such a short amount of time. He supposed that being the leader of such a large clan did have its benefits. Clearly, he had learned how to multitask. Sasuke hated to admit it, but he was a little impressed.

The wedding was being held outside. It was a beautiful summer day. The sky was a rich blue color, the sun was shinning, birds were chirping, and the flowers were in full bloom. Sasuke waited anxiously at the alter.

"Are you sure about this Uncle Naruto? What if I drop the ring? Then everyone will laugh at me!" Haru frets.

"I'm sure you won't drop it. Don't worry. No one would dare to laugh at you. Hinata would lock up their chakra and Sasuke would Chidori them, if they did." Naruto says.

Haru didn't look completely convinced. But he walks down the red carpet that had been laid out over the grass nonetheless. Somehow, God knows how...Hiashi had a section of the Forest of Death cleared for the occasion and now it was a beautiful meadow...where deer and other woodland creatures frolicked all day long.

"You can do it Master Haru." Aoda states, from his position in the back of the crowd.

Some of the other guests were a little nervous. It wasn't every day that you saw a snake the size of a two or three story building. The last time a snake that large had been in the Leaf Village, it had been during the attack on the Chunin Exams. It hadn't ended well, but it soon became apparent that Aoda was a friendly snake and they relaxed.

"Thanks, Aoda!" He calls out and walks down the aisle.

Haru blushed as he walked down the aisle. He could hear a lot of people talking about him. He heard the words adorable and cute thrown around a lot.

Sasuke looks around. There had to be hundreds of people there. There were rather fancy seats placed all over the place with red velvet cushions and golden silk blankets over them. Apparently Hiashi was concerned about the comfort of the backsides of the elites or something, Sasuke thought dryly.

He could see lots of tables had been set up. Fine china, expensive wine, and delicious food was on display. The real showstopper though was that eight foot tall chocolate cake, so beautifully decorated with red frosting roses.

"Beautiful." Sasuke mutters when he sees Hinata being led down the aisle by Hiashi.

Hinata's hair was down, contrasting beautifully against white dress. It was sleeveless and had a sweetheart neckline, exposing her creamy shoulders and tastefully accenting her ample bosom. Across her stomach was a ruby red sash that matched his Sharingan perfectly. He was fairly certain that she had done that on purpose. The bottom of the dress was long and flowing. The gorgeous lace was designed to flow in such a way that it resembled ocean waves when she walked. Her eyes lavender eyes were shining with happiness as she looked at him and their son. (Haru was now standing by his father's side and thankfully hadn't tripped.)

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Sasuke Uchiha and Hinata Hyuga. If anyone has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest begins.

Haru leans up on his tip toes and covers his grandfather's mouth. He wasn't going to take any chances. Nope. Not this time!

"Right...I believe the bride and groom wanted to exchange vows." The priest chuckles at Haru's antics.

"Sasuke, I love you. I love our family. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I'm so glad that Haru found us." HInata says with a smile.

"I love you too. I didn't think that it was possible for me to be happy again, but I am with you and our family. That is dress is beautiful, but i can't wait till our Honeymoon and I get to take it off of you." He smirks.

"SASUKE!" She squeaks and blushes.

"Alright then...Do you Sasuke Uchiha take Hinata Hyuga to be your lawfully wedded wife? To love, honor, and cherish? To stand by her side always, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer and to forsake all others until death do you part?" He asks.

"I do." He says without hesitation.

"Do you Hinata Hyuga take Sasuke Uchiha to be our lawfully wedded husband? To love, honor, and cherish? To stand by his side always, in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, and to forsake all others until death do you part?" The priest asks the beautiful bride.

"I do." She says with a smile.

"Then by the power vested in me by the Leaf Village and the Fire Nation, I pronounce thee man and wife. You may kiss the bride." He says.

Sasuke didn't waste anytime. Naruto blinks. Yeah, he knew that Sasuke 'trained' with Hinata A LOT. Still, he didn't expect him to go for it like THAT in public!

The oldest Uchiha had pulled his new wife into his arms and was kissing her. He was REALLY kissing her. There were several hollers of approval and some parents decided it was best to cover their children's eyes.

"Damn, bastard." Naruto chuckles.

Hinata smiles and kisses back. She was used to such passionate displays from Sasuke by now. She forgot for a moment they weren't alone. That there were hundreds of people watching them. He was all that she saw at that moment.

"I love you." He says breaking the kiss.

"I love you too." She replies.

"SO BEAUTIFUL! SO YOUTHFUL! THE POWER OF YOUTH AND LOVE!" Lee says bawling his eyes out.

"...So disturbing." Sasuke mutters.

"He's weird." Haru whispers to his father, who couldn't help but nod.

"Someone get that deer away from the cake!" Hiashi yells.

"What deer?" Sasuke asks.

"Don't worry, Master Sasuke!" Aoda cries out and lunges at the deer.

Bambi takes off running for its life. Sasuke rubs the back of his head sheepishly. Oh the joys of ninja weddings.

"Um right. So I guess it's time to cut the cake." Sasuke says and heads over to it with Hinata.

Sasuke pushes her up over his shoulders, so she was tall enough to reach it. Hinata smiles and cuts the cake. She slides down and Sasuke catches her in his arms, Bridal Style.

He managed to get a kiss in before he had to move out of the way. Apparently ninjas really loved their cake. The happy couple was almost trampled to death by their wedding guests.

He shakes his head. Sasuke carries Hinata to the "dance floor" and sets her down. Hinata smiles and wraps her arms around his neck. The two swayed to the classical music that was playing.

"You know there might actually be riots over who catches the bouquet and garter, right?" He asks.

"I know. That's why we should aim them very specifically." She says with a smile.

"Who'd you have in mind?" He asks.

Hinata leans over and whispers something into Sasuke's ear. The other wedding goers thought that she was just whispering sweet nothings to her new husband.

They were wrong. Hinata was plotting. And a plotting Hinata was a very scary Hinata. Plotting Hinata made Sasuke look like an angel. Sasuke smirks when he hears her suggestion. Perfect.
