Never Ending Drama

Ino was roaming around the Konoha Market when she spotted Hinata inside the grocery store. She called out to her but was not heard.

"Hiiinataaa!" She called again. No response.

She started to walk towards Hinata and noticed something. Hinata's stomach was huge, like really huge.

'Is she pregnant? Definitely looks like it. But why didn't she tell me?' Ino thought with a frown.

When she was in hearing range, she almost called her again when Sasuke and Takuma came into her view. Takuma showed her a soft toy.

"No honey, you already have so many." Hinata chided him.

"No... for babies." He said genuinely.

"Takuma has a lot of toys, no? He can share them with his baby brothers." Hinata said with finality. Hinata gave Sasuke a look that said where did he even get that toy from?

"From the gift shop next door." He said with a sigh.

"So it's already been bought?" Hinata shook her head in amusement and continued to shop.

"Two. We bought two of them." She heard the voices getting louder and louder.

Ino hid because they were coming in her direction.

'She is pregnant with twins? Why is this even a secret? Wait, Why am I hiding?' She thought as they walked past her.

Ino came out of her hiding position and called Hinata's name again, as naturally as possible, as if she hadn't been stalking them a second ago. She was unheard.

'What the fuck? Is she avoiding me?'

"Hiiinataaa!" Hinata heard Ino's voice for the third time.

"Someone is calling you." Sasuke said and was about to turn in the direction of the sound when Hinata stopped him.

"No! Don't. Keep walking as if you didn't hear anything. I am done, let's check this out and go home." Hinata said looking ahead, walking with quick steps.

"...Okay." Sasuke raised his eyebrow at her but shrugged it off.

They were almost done at the counter when Hinata felt a feminine hand on her shoulder. A look of annoyance passed over her face which made Sasuke almost laugh. Almost. She slowly turned around to greet her 'friend.'

"Oh, Hi Ino-san, d-didn't see you there." She said uncomfortably,not at all used to lying.

The look on Hinata's face was priceless and if not for the immense self control, Sasuke would have had burst into fits of laughter right then and there. He picked up all the shopping bags from the counter and said in a really calm voice, trying to keep his poker face intact.

"We are done here. As long as Hinata would 'Like' to stay here and talk to you, we have stuff to do." And without further ado he grabbed Hinata's unoccupied hand and left Ino alone in front of the counter, looking dumbfounded.

When they were sure they were out of Ino's range, Sasuke slowed his pace and let out a chuckle while Hinata sighed in relief.

They walked into their house and Sasuke put aside the plastic bags to help Hinata take off her shoes.

She was this big when she was in her eighth month with Takuma! She couldn't even see her feet. She let out a sigh as she sat on the sofa in the living room, she felt a headache building up.

Sasuke put the grocery bags on the kitchen counter and proceeded to walk to the living room, almost crashing into Takuma who was probably going to his room to put down the newly bought soft toys.
