Teacher's Wife

Chapter 30

Hinata's gaze turned tender as she looked at Sasuke across the dinner table. Her voice softened as she spoke, the anticipation evident in her words. "Sasuke, the gang have been really eager to meet you," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

A mischievous smirk tugged at the corners of Sasuke's lips as he contemplated the surprise that awaited their friends. "They would certainly be taken aback, realizing it was me all along," he replied, a hint of amusement in his voice. Hinata couldn't help but giggle, sharing in his amusement. In her mind, she could already picture their friends' astonished expressions.

But then, a gentle fluttering sensation interrupted their conversation. Hinata's hand instinctively moved to her stomach, cradling the spot where she felt the tiny kick. A radiant smile graced her face as she looked back up at her husband. "It's incredible, isn't it? We've created life," she murmured softly, her voice filled with awe and wonder.

Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she continued, her voice filled with a newfound resolve. "I'm ready to stop hiding and embrace this moment with everyone I love," she declared, her voice brimming with determination. Hinata knew that their journey hadn't been easy, but the thought of sharing their happiness and the miracle of their unborn child with their friends filled her heart with excitement.

Sasuke's gaze softened as he watched Hinata, his love for her shining brightly. He understood her desire to share their joyous news with their closest friends. With a thoughtful expression, he reached out to gently cup Hinata's cheek. "I think it's time, Hinata," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "Let's arrange a meeting with Sakura, Ino, and Naruto sooner rather than later. They deserve to know the truth and celebrate this milestone with us."

Hinata's eyes sparkled with gratitude as she leaned into Sasuke's touch, feeling an overwhelming sense of love and support from her husband. "Thank you, Sasuke," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.

Sasuke's hand slid down from Hinata's cheek to intertwine their fingers, a silent reassurance passing between them. He knew how important it was for Hinata to have their friends by their side, embracing this new chapter in their lives. As their fingers entwined, he spoke with unwavering determination.

"We'll set up a time for all of us to get together," Sasuke said, his voice filled with certainty. "I want them to see the love and happiness that fills our lives, and for them to share in our excitement."

Hinata nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude for Sasuke's unwavering support. "I can't wait for them to witness the love we have for each other and the miracle growing inside me," she said softly, her eyes shimmering with joy. "Our journey hasn't always been easy, but having our friends with us means the world."

Hinata did her best to conceal her pregnancy, hiding it under oversized sweaters for as long as she could. However, as she reached the seven-month mark, her growing belly became impossible to disguise. So here Hinata stood in front of the coffee shop waiting for her friends to arrive.The truth was finally revealed when Sakura confronted her with a mix of shock and concern.

"Hinata! Why didn't you tell us you were pregnant?" Sakura exclaimed, pulling Hinata into a tight embrace. Hinata blushed, feeling a combination of embarrassment and relief wash over her. She averted her gaze, struggling to find the right words. "Well, I was hoping to keep it a secret until graduation," she confessed softly.

Sakura released Hinata from the hug but placed her hand on her hip, raising an eyebrow. Her expression reflected a mix of disbelief and curiosity. "Were you ever planning to tell us?" she questioned, her tone filled with both understanding and mild reproach.

Hinata nodded, her eyes filled with sincerity. "Yes, Sakura, I intended to share the news with all of you," she assured her friend. "I just didn't expect it to happen so soon."

As Sakura and Hinata continued their conversation, Ino and Naruto joined in, drawn by the commotion. Ino's eyes sparkled with excitement as she caught wind of the news. "Oh my gosh, Hinata, you're pregnant! That's amazing!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm. She enveloped Hinata in a tight hug, showering her with congratulations.

Naruto, on the other hand, wore a more concerned expression. He scratched his head, his brows furrowing. "Wait a minute, guys," he interjected, his tone tinged with worry. "We don't even know who Hinata's boyfriend is. Shouldn't we be concerned about that?"

Hinata's gaze locked with Naruto's, her voice filled with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. "Actually, Naruto, there's someone I want you guys to know," she began, gesturing towards the table where Sasuke sat. "I would like you to officially meet my husband," she revealed, her words hanging in the air.

As Hinata and Sasuke entered the building and took their seats together, Sakura, Ino, and Naruto exchanged bewildered glances. The shock on their faces was palpable, their minds struggling to comprehend the unexpected revelation. Naruto's voice trembled with disbelief as he spoke, trying to process the information. "Husband?" he repeated, his tone filled with shock.

Sakura's expression turned from surprise to guilt, her heart sinking as she remembered her earlier interactions with Sasuke. She had unknowingly flirted with him, oblivious to the fact that he was Hinata's husband. Regret washed over her, and she felt a wave of guilt wash through her. She turned to Hinata, her eyes filled with remorse. "Hinata, I... I didn't know," she stammered, her voice laced with an apology.

Ino's eyes widened with realization, a mix of surprise and excitement filling her voice. "Oh my gosh, Hinata, you're married! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" she exclaimed, unable to contain her enthusiasm.

Hinata offered a gentle smile, her eyes brimming with understanding. "It's okay, Sakura. You had no way of knowing," she reassured her friend, her voice filled with forgiveness. "And Ino, I wanted to surprise all of you, to share this joyous news in person."

Sasuke, observing the reactions of their friends, remained calm and composed. He knew that the revelation would be met with a range of emotions, and he respected their need to process the information. With a reassuring nod, he spoke softly. "I apologize for the surprise. Hinata and I have been married for almost 2 years now."

Hinata's gaze shifted from one friend to another, her heart filled with gratitude for their presence in her life. "I'm sorry for keeping this a secret."

Sakura, her initial guilt now replaced with overwhelming joy, rushed over to Hinata, enveloping her in a tight embrace. Tears of happiness streamed down Sakura's cheeks as she whispered, "Congratulations, Hinata. I'm so happy for you and Sasuke." Ino joined in, adding her own words of congratulations and excitement.

His smile stretched across his face, albeit with a tinge of hesitation. "Hinata, Sasuke... congratulations," he said, his voice carrying a genuine tone of joy, intermingled with a trace of doubt. "This is... amazing news," he continued, his words tinged with a touch of uncertainty.

"Sooo," Ino playfully remarked, her eyes darting between Sasuke and Hinata mischievously. "Have you two ever... you know... had sex in the classroom?" she asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

Sasuke's lips curled into a sly smirk as he leaned back in his chair, casually draping his arm over the back of Hinata's chair. Hinata's cheeks instantly flushed a deep shade of pink, her voice faltering as she struggled to respond. "I-Ino!" she stammered, her embarrassment evident in her voice.

Feeling a mix of amusement and affection, Sasuke gently squeezed Hinata's shoulder, his tone filled with playful teasing. "Now, Ino, that's a private matter between Hinata and me," he responded, his voice laced with a hint of mystery. "Some things are best left to the imagination."
