She'd been a mess earlier in the evening, she hadn't told anyone about the date, Hanabi had a sleepover planned with some friends, Hiashi was with his father, her friends all had other plans and Neji was staying in the city tonight. She'd thought about calling someone but in a way she thought it was better to be alone, she done her hair in a very simple chignon, made up her face with smoky eyes and light lipstick, then she'd put on a dark blue dress that Ino had brought for her many weeks ago, the dress was knee length and quite fitted with a thin black belt at the waist. Michio had said and done all the right things when he picked her up, first he'd handed her a plump red rose, he'd also opened doors, pulled out chairs and finally taken her dancing. He was interesting and well travelled it was one of the most romantic evening's of her life it was a shame she wasn't enjoying herself. He drove her home and insisted on getting out of the car and seeing her right to her door.
"I had a really lovely evening" Hinata told him, but she felt bad that it wasn't true, whilst she'd found it nice to talk and laugh over dinner with someone new she'd felt uneasy. it was obvious that Michio was very interested in her and he was incredibly suave but she just couldn't enjoy it.
"Maybe we could do it again sometime."
"I'd like that"
"So would I" He caressed her cheek with one hand before moving slowly in, just before he could press his lips to hers she moved her head and allowed the kiss to fall on her cheek. When they pulled apart she made to apologise but he pressed a finger to her lips
"I can wait Hinata, I can wait." he kissed her forehead and then left her at her door, she watched him go before going inside herself. Once inside she felt angry, she felt uncomfortable, she wanted to run upstairs change and shower but as she made to do that the phone rang, sighing she didn't even ponder who might be calling so late at night as she picked it up and muttered an impatient 'Hello'.
"Hinata it's Ino" Choji's voice came down the phone urgent and worried "She's in labour"
"I'll meet you both at the hospital" Hinata agreed right away "Are you on your way there now?"
"Uh no..." in the background Hinata heard a cry of pain from Ino. "I need a car... I think i have one." OK so Ino was in labour and Choji was losing it, great combination.
"No, call someone to drive you, I don't think either of you are in the right state to drive right now."
"Alright, see you there." Choji hung up and Hinata called for a taxi, whist she waited for it to arrive she ran upstairs to gather some things for Ino, she imagined neither of them would remember to bring the bag Hinata had so thoughtfully packed and left under the bed. Having spent a lot of time in hospital herself Hinata knew what would be needed and when the phone rang to tell her the taxi was at the gate she had everything together.
She ran downstairs not caring how it would look for her to turn up in her dating duds. It wasn't until she was on the way to the hospital that she worried about her dress, she considered scrubbing off her make up but that might look worse like she'd done something she shouldn't.
Inside the hospital she arrived at exactly the same time as Ten-Ten, she was dressed a little more properly, they revelled in the excitement of being present for such an event as they made their way to the maternity ward where Ino had been provided with a private room. They clattered down the hallway together when a figure exited a room that brought Hinata up short.
"N-Naruto!" she hadn't seen her husband in weeks now tonight, when she had gone in her first real date, one where a guy just asked you out, took you to dinner and then dropped you off at home with a sweet kiss, here he was.
"Hinata!" He grinned at her his eyes happy until he took in her state of dress and raised a questioning brow. "I drove them here, I was still at work when it happened so... You look nice."
"Thank you... Where's Hiashi?"
"With mum, I was gonna pick him up tomorrow morning."
"Oh right..." Choji came barreling out the door interrupting them "Choji where are you going?"
"Home, she has nothing for the baby, no hair brush, she'll kill me"
"Here" Hinata held out the bag, "I'll go and pick everything else up tomorrow, tonight she'll be happier to stay in the gown, their awful but it'll be too painful to try and wear proper pyjamas."
"You are an ANGEL" Choji hugged Hinata to the point where he actually lifted her off her feet. "Thank you so much" Choji turned and dashed back into the room before exiting the room again and taking the bag with him.
"God he's a mess..." Ten-Ten laughed then she noticed there was a certain tenseness in the air "You know what, I'm gonna go wait for the others... far away."
After she was gone Naruto turned to Hinata "You had plans tonight?"
"I had a date!" she sounded defiant and held her chin up as she responded.
"Oh... I didn't realise we were doing that"
Stung Hinata responded in a way that surprised them both "You were doing it when we were together, I think I'm allowed to do it now we're apart."
"I'm sorry I... it's just hard to..." he stopped not sure how to word it.
"To what?" she demanded wanting him to finish "To imagine me with someone else? To spend time wondering if he makes me moan when we kiss, to wonder if he makes me writhe underneath him in complete ecstasy?"
Her words were almost too much for Naruto and he had to turn away his hands clenched "Well yeah... you expressed it perfectly"
"I know. That's exactly how I felt every night when I knew about that bitch Karin..." she was gearing up to say more when there was a cry from the room next to them, taking a breath Hinata turned away letting them both getting their tempers back, finally she turned back "I'm sorry, tonight we're here for Choji and Ino, Truce?" Holding out a hand Hinata smiled at him, he looked back at her over her shoulder "Please?" her smile melted his anger, he still wanted to quiz her about her new man but in the end he couldn't stay mad at her.
They shook hands "Truce" he agreed wanting, like her, to put their friends first. "I shouldn't have said what I did... you look amazing."
"Thank you" Hinata's cheeks flushed and she felt happier than she had all evening even with all of Michio's compliments.
Naruto was desperate to ask her about the guy but he didn't instead he just smoothly changed the subject telling her what he'd originally planned to do with Hiashi tomorrow, Hinata was surprised that he wanted to take their son swimming, despite her and Hanabi's love of spending time in the water she was terrified of taking her son into the pool. When Ten-Ten returned with Sasuke and Sakura the estranged couple were chatting away like old times.

"Oh Ino!" six hours later Hinata Sakura and Ten-Ten crowded into the hospital room to look at the adorable baby, he had that scrunched up look all babies have and not a single hair on his head but he looked perfect. Hinata pressed a kiss on her friends head before following suit with the baby.
"I can't believe it" Ino told them tears welling up in her eyes "He's just so lovely, and the nurse says he's completely healthy."
"Have you got a name for him yet?" Ten-Ten asked as she turned her camera on
"Gou, it means strength." Ino and Hinata smiled and posed as Ten-Ten snapped a photo
"Perfect" Sakura set a posey of white and purple lilacs flowers down on a table "These are for mothers" she told them unnecessarily, they had all taken a course to learn the meanings of flowers and their nationality's when they opened the shop, the last thing they wanted to do was give chrysanthemums to a French woman. White lilacs meany youthful innocence whilst the purple was for the first emotion of love.
Ino looked at the display tears welling up in her eyes, it wasn't the flowers that made her cry though it was the friendship, three years ago when she'd lost her baby she'd had Choji and Kushina with her, very few of her college friends could understand her lifestyle and the secrecy that went with it and as a result she'd lost them. Sakura and Ten-Ten never asked anything they didn't need to know and far from scaring them off their time in the safe house had brought them closer together. Now instead of being alone she had friends who from the looks of things had waited all night to be with her "Thank you so much"
"They're from the shop I picked them up when I dropped Hanabi there" Hinata told them "She's gonna come back later to see the baby but right now she'd helping Kushina run the shop"
"I hadn't thought about that" Ino immediately felt bad "you guys need to keep an eye on everything..."
"It's one day Ino" Sakura reassured her "We'd all be too distracted to work there today anyway."
"And tired" Hinata couldn't help but let out a yawn
"I'll head down after lunch to see hows it's going" Ten-Ten decided "and they can always call us if they have an emergency."
As they sat cooing over the beautiful baby Choji walked in with Naruto and Sasuke, he looked so proud and happy, each of the girls hugged and kissed him telling him how happy they were for them, when he sat beside Ino on the bed and took the baby from her Ten-Ten couldn't help but take a picture, she was getting quite trigger happy with the camera as they all posed but soon Hinata noticed how tired Ino was looking and decided it was time for them to go. She chivvied everyone out of the room with promises to be back later with her sister.
Once alone Ino took her son back into her arms and allowed her head to rest on her husbands chest as they looked down at their baby together
"Thank you" Choji whispered kissing the top of her head
"You helped a bit"
"Yeah but my job is easy" he gently brushed a finger against Gou's cheek "I know how tough this was for you, I am so grateful for you."
"It's a perfect moment, I want to stay in it forever"
"Me too" Choji felt her lean more heavily on him so he took the baby from her hold and placed him in his crib, turning back he helped Ino rest against the pillows and watched over her as she fell asleep, rearranging the room so there was a chair and the crib close to the bed Choji sat in the chair and watched over his family as they slept,he saw his son move in his sleep his foot moving outside of the blanket showing the dark pink skin of the sole and the five tiny toes, reaching forward he ran his thumb over the sole marveling at how small and perfect he was before covering it with the blanket again. Finally he let his head fall against the chair back and he too drifted off to sleep.

With Ino taking time off from the shop Hinata and the others were usually working extra hours, as it was the three of them ran it pretty easily Ten-Ten and Sakura did most of the heavy work with deliveries and orders as they had fewer responsibilities. Hinata and Hanabi spent a lot of time in the shop using the staff room as a place to have meals together and for the young girl to study in the quieter hours. They were one of the few florists that opened on a Sunday and kept their deliveries the same price for Sunday drop off, as a result Hanabi's weekends were spent mainly at the shop. One day when Hinata finally had a day off from the shop she found herself home alone withe Hiashi, Hanabi was at school and Hinata was just wondering what she was going to do with her spare time when someone rang her doorbell, she was a little surprised but knew that the guard at the gate wouldn't have let anyone in she didn't know she went to answer it without a thought.
"Naruto?" Hinata was surprised by who she found at the door, she hadn't seem him in the few weeks since Gou was born, she'd been putting more hours in at the shop and he was a man down at work as Choji was taking some paternity leave. It had always been Kushina or Tsuande who picked up the baby and dropped him off again.
It was just as much a surprise to see him as it was to see his looks, his hair was long and untidy, he had not shaved in a while and the long stubble on his chin looked set to become a full beard, he looked thinner and somewhat tired like he wasn't eating or sleeping well.
"Sakura told me you were here. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you..."
"No, not at all... would you like to come in?"
"No..." his face was sad and she wished she could do something to make him smile again.
"Well what can I do for you?"
"I had these drawn up" Naruto handed a large manilla envelope to Hinata she took it slowly but didn't look at its contents, she could easily guess what was in it. "You just need to look through them, think about any changes and then contact the lawyers, I'm willing to give you whatever you want."
"I... I don't need much, you've probably given me too much already" she smiled softly at him "I'll get this back to them as soon as I can." he nodded and it was all Hinata could do not to take him back into her home, all she could do not to tell him that she wanted to take care of him, to feed him, to love him. Reaching out she let a hand rest on his cheek, "You are... you are taking care of yourself, aren't you?"
His eyes looked into hers, they were so full of sadness and regret. "I'm alright" he shrugged it all off.
"Please Naruto, promise me you'll look after yourself, you need to be healthy."
"For my sons sake right?" he asked miserably
"For the sake of everyone who cares about you"
That was the moment Naruto finally felt some sort of hope, Hinata's eyes had never been cold or hateful when he'd seen them but they had usually been so full of hurt and anger he had never seen past that but here now he saw the affection she held for him.
"Alright, because you asked me to" he saw the blush rise in her cheeks as he removed her hand from his face and pressed a gentle kiss to it "I promise."
As Naruto walked away from the house he felt lighter than he had in months, Hinata still loved him despite the perfect man she was supposed to be dating, it was Him she wanted not that Michio. Yes he knew the guys name, he knew all about him he seemed to be perfect but Naruto knew all about making the outward appearance look that way. He knew they;d only been on a few dates and was almost positive Hinata had barely let him touch her, all he had to do was wait for Michio to screw up and then he'd be in with a chance again. The grin that crossed his face was almost ear to ear.
Hinata on the other hand closed the door and leaned against it, holding the envelope to her chest slid to the floor tears filling her eyes. Why couldn't she let him go, why was Naruto always on her mind in this way, she wished so desperately that she could tear him from her heart but he was always always there. She knew she could take him back in an instant but could she ever trust him or love him as she had before. She wanted to rail and scream at the world for throwing them in each others way, when she moved into the tiny flat for Neji she'd given up on being truly happy but then Naruto had come into her life and she'd become so filled with bliss that it physically hurt to leave it behind, she'd gone back to putting up a tough front all the time but here alone with her baby napping soundly upstairs she let go. Weeping she hugged her arms around herself, she didn't want to lose him, she couldn't bear to lose him. It hurt her heart, it hurt her mind, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt.

I hope everyone feels this was an OK chapter, I wanted to show once again that Hinata still loves her husband but she just can't let herself trust him again.
And I gave you ChoIno fluff as there's not really and NaruHina, I'm not sure if I like Ino and Choji together in the actual manga but I love them in this!
