Dad's back!

Hinata was humming a tune while making dinner for her family. Sasuke was on a mission. He wasn't supposed to come back before next Sunday.

She had just put her son to sleep.

She heard the front door open. "Sasuke-kun is back early."

Padding towards the front door she stopped and welcomed him back. "Okieri."

He glanced at her and grunted. "Tadaima."

"I am going to take a shower." He announced as he went inside their room, going straight towards the shower. He was covered in blood. He didn't want his son to see him like this. He was only 1 year old after all.

After taking a long well needed shower he dressed in a loose shirt and shorts and made his way towards the kitchen to get something to eat.

"Here." He said as he threw something at Hinata.

"Wha-" Hinata clumsily caught the thing he threw at her. Opening her fist, she saw a very beautiful pendent with a heart shaped Amethyst surrounded by small gems in the centre. She blinked as a small smile formed on her lips.

"Thank you."

"Hn."

People thought her husband was heartless and pitied her. At first even she had those thoughts. It had been an arranged marriage. But her life changed after she got married. Someone actually cared for her. Even though it was just because she was the future of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke bought her small gifts here and there, a gesture to show how thankful he was.

And then when she became pregnant, he was always there for her, refusing long missions, doing small things like helping her putting on her shoes, going grocery shopping, even cooking and cleaning when Hinata wasn't feeling well.

When her son, Uchiha Takuma was born, it was the best moment in her life. He was so small, so beautiful. Despite of being tired after giving birth she had a big smile on her face when they handed him over to her. It was a perfect moment. Now she can't imajine her life without her family.

Hinata was happy.

Hinata was stirring the tomato soup when her husband's arm gently rubbed against her. He was washing a tomato.

"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes."

"I see." He said, putting the tomato back in the fridge.

"Isn't it unusual for Takuma to sleep right now?" He asked as he sat on the dining table.

"Ah, he was really tired. Naruto-kun was here. He played with him all day."

"I got something for him."

"Really? What is it?"

"A stuffed rabbit. He cried last time I took him to the park. He didn't want to come home because he was playing with a baby rabbit."

"Oh."

Hinata once had a thought that Sasuke would be like her own father. Stoic, emotionless and won't bond with their son at all. But she got some hope when Sasuke came with alot of stuffed toys when she was 8 months pregnant. To say that she was surprised was an understatement. He was a very caring father at mediocre. He even helped her bath the baby, feed him, change diapers and all. Who would have thought that the most ruthless Shinobi in the ninjas world would be a loving father. He was feared everywhere.

"Mama." A small black haired boy entered the kitchen yawning.

"Look who is back." Sasuke said to get his son's attention. The boy hearing his father's voice slowly dragged his tiny feet towards the dining table while rubbing his eyes. Sasuke had seen his son walk his first few steps before he went for the mission.
