HINATA's POV

"You sure you don't want us to stay?" Asked Sakura

"It's fine, besides Sarada just finished her training around this time, so might as well be with her for some quality time" I suggested

"Oh okay. Then we will be going now. Take care of yourself. I think those two will be home by now" Sakusa said pertaining to Boruto and Himawari

"Yeah. I think I'll just cook for their dinner" i replied as they waved goodbye and rode their car

I guess i better start cooking huh?

It was around 7pm when i finished cooking, i already set up the plates by myself when the maids insist on doing so

I went to my room to get some rest while waiting for them, i was holding a huge book. Our family album.

I made one, ever since that day, i started collecting pictures of use, printing and cutting them

I scan every page looking back to those old days. It's been 12 years huh? I still remember those days when we were still studying, till the day we parted and met again unknowingly and when we both remember we parted again and this time i don't know if we'll meet again

"Moooommmm! We're homeee!" I heard Himawari called from downstairs

I stood up from the bed and went out of the room, i heard they were talking to someone, so i assumed that Boruto was talking to someone on the phone

"Yeah i know... but Kurama is too old now. We have someone special taking care of him" Boruto said

"Really? I wanna see him" it was a mysterious voice yet so familiar

I stopped on my track trying to deny it was him.

"I'll excuse myself for a moment and go to the bathroom" Boruto said

"I'll just get us some refreshments, Dad" Himawari said in a cheerful tone

"Dad?" I asked myself. Himawari wouldn't call anyone dad. Even Toneri who bothered us for a few years when they were still a kid

I slowly walked down the stairs. There i saw a man, wearing a black turtle neck in a bonnet looking intently at our family picture

*ehem* i cleared my throat. I wouldn't let anyone touch our family picture. He frozed in his place, slowly placing the frame down

"W-who are you?" I asked as i slowly walk towards him

"Show me your face" i ordered as i slowly walk

My heart pounds loudly, afraid he might hear it and take advantage of it. I held my chest tightly feeling my heart would jump out any seconds

"I said who are you?" I repeated

As he slowly turns to me, my heart pounds more wildly. Those whiskers. Those oceanic blue eyes that I've longed for. He smiled at me with tears flowing down his face

"Hime..." was all he could said, my hands went straight to my mouth capturing my breath. I couldn't believe what my eyes was seeing. I felt tears stream down as he slowly approach me with his arm wide open

I felt his warmth. Hugged me. Tightly. Comfortably. It was real. THIS was real. It wasn't a dream anymore. I hugged him back as i let my cry out

"I missed you Hinata" he whispered in my ears but i just hugged him tightly not wanting to let go. Afraid it was just a dream and soon i would wake up from this beautiful nightmare

"Where have you been? I waited for you for so long" i cried to his chest as he hugged me tightly

"I-i don't know... it doesn't matter, what matter now is that i'm here... and i won't leave you again" he said as he caressed my cheeks and kissed my forehead

I saw Himawari and Boruto watching us from the doorway and i mouthed Thank you to them.

We were having dinner, chatting with each other, he was catching up the lost time  with his kids and i never seen them both smile so genuinely as they told their stories to their father

"Wow... so you both entered College, at the age of 14? No wonder you're both your mother's child" he complimented them

"And we got our persistent to finish from you, Dad. It was thanks to both of you, we're here" Boruto said. It was rare. Boruto would never say those kinds of words to just anyone, but i guess his father was an exemption.

"And a huge Thank you to your Mother, for taking care of you both, while i wasn't around." He said as he squeezed my hands

"You know that's nothing" i said as i smiled at him. It has been so long since i saw his smile.

"Well... now that i'm here, i'll make it up to both you three" he said in a cheerful way

"Let's go eat somewhere?" Boruto Suggested

"What about... shop somewhere, I'm sude Dad doesn't have anything new to wear" Himawari said

"Or how about, go on a Vacation?" Naruto suggested

"Vacation?" I asked

"Yeah—" he answered but himawari butt in

"Out of town?" She said

"Out of country?" Boruto asked

"No no no... let's go to a countryside... my childhood house. I'm sure you'll love it there" He said reminding me of THAT house, we used to go whenever we want to be along together

"I think i haven't been there at all" Boruto said

"Of course you haven't... i was supposed to take us there when you both turn 12, but things happen" Naruto shrugged

"It's been a while... hasn't it?" I said holding his hand as he smiled at me

"But i've been to every property you own, Dad. With the family lawyer" Boruto said as he became bothered by it.

"Because the Family Lawyer doesn't know about this. Before i inherit the Family Business, i already own this, under your mother's name" he said making me froze

"What?" I asked

"Sorry, i didn't tell you about it. It was supposed to be a surprise for our marriage but we both got in an accident and parted" he said kissing my hand

"Sigh... there's nothing i can do about it now, do i?" I asked him when suddenly a loud Thud echo around the whole house

"NARUTO!!!!" someone shouted from the living room
