The family he always wanted (Part 2)

4.

Only about a month in her new job, she was beaming with joy. Knitting so many different things for many different people. Blankets, pillows, sweaters, and floral dresses.

She enjoyed creating things that customers asked for and she enjoyed making things for her loves too. The old lady looked at Hinata with sincerity, as she cleaned up her working area and counting over the money in the cash register. "Come here, child." She told Hinata while she was knitting her last item. "This isn't 20% of your earnings." She lifted an eyebrow while holding the cash in her right hand.

"I-I know but-" The elderly woman shook her head from left to right, handing her the few 100s back. "No buts. This is too much for me."

This made her just a little uncomfortable since she felt that the woman could get more for being so nice and letting her work when she didn't have to hire her. "Please, you deserve it."

The woman smiled softly and placed the money in Hinata's hands, closing them in the process. "Business wouldn't even be the way it is if it weren't for you... You brought this place back to life, and besides, 20% is more than enough for me." She spoke with kindness and Hinata looked with slight worry, face making a concerned expression. "A-Are you sure?"

Mrs. Ruby smiled slightly larger. "I'm sure, go on and do something nice for yourself."

After finishing knitting up her last item, Hinata decided to FaceTime Naruto, to ask about her loves.

When Naruto saw that it was Hinata FaceTiming him he quickly shushed Boruto, Yusuke, and Sasuke. Covering his finger over his mouth so they could be quiet. "Hey, Hina."

He greeted her while smiling at the phone. "How are my loves?" He looked over at the 2 young boys who were giggling and playing instead of being quiet. "They're fine. Is everything alright?" She gave him a reassuring smile. "Yes it is, I was just calling to see what time I should pick Yusuke up... with this being Sasuke's time with him and all."

Naruto made a glance at him and then he turned back to Hinata. "It's fine Hina, I'll drop him off." She asked if he was sure and once he said yes, she asked to see her son before hanging up. He ran in front of the phone, in between Naruto's arms.

"Are you having a good time sweetheart?"
He nodded and answered. Yeah mommy. "Were you being good for Naruto?" He chuckled, answering with his small voice.

No. She furrowed her brows at her son. "Yusuke!" Naruto quickly came to his defense. "It's fine, Hina, seriously."

She heard another small voice on the side of them. Let me speak to her too! When Boruto got in front of the phone, Hinata gave him a welcoming smile. "Hi, sweet pea."

The young boy blushed, squealing and turning away from the phone. Making Naruto grab his little body and turn him back in front of the phone. "Don't be shy now." Daddy! He held his cheeks. "It's okay, how are you BoruBear?"

He answered her in a quiet voice. I'm fine... When she giggled it lightened his mood, soothing his small nerves. "Are you having fun with Yusuke?" He took hold of the whole phone, exclaiming in happiness.

We're having the best time!~

When she was done talking to him, she kissed them both goodbye, through the phone & then she hung up.

The boys began playing again, running all over Naruto's house like it was some play zone for kids. Naruto and Sasuke began cleaning up Yusuke's and Boruto's messes, for like the 5th time in the day.

"Sasuke." Naruto started, carefully speaking clearly & loud enough for him to hear.

"I don't like lying to her... we're both being deceitful and she doesn't deserve that from us."
