Triple Trouble- Neji X Reader

"Wait, no! Don't touch that, um, Jaylen...?" You desperately reached out for your three-year-old son, who was busy trying to play with his father's, Neji's, katana. "This is Jayden, darling."

You startled as the very topic of your thoughts spoke up behind you just as you grabbed the weapon. "How can you tell?" You whined. Having triplets was a lot harder than anyone had told you.

You had two boys and a girl, Jayden, Jaylen, and Giada. The only one you could tell apart at this point was Giada, and that wasn't much of an accomplishment.

"Because he's our child." You turned, a retort ready on your lips, only to stop short, when you burst out laughing. "Seriously, Neji? You're using your Byakugan to tell our children apart?" He huffed, but before he could respond, a cry rang up.

"OTO-SAN! OKA-SAN!" Both you and Neji shared an alarmed look at the cry of your middle child, Giada.

You quickly grabbed Jayden and sprinted after your husband, who already had his kunai out. As soon as the two of you reached the kitchen, you were ready for a fight, but finding there was none, you set your son down, confused.

"What's wrong, Angel? " Neji asked quietly. Giada pointed to her food with a pitiful sniffle. "There's a hair in my soba!" She pointed to it as if its very existence offended her.

You felt your eye twitch. "Would you look at that? She takes after her father," You teased, picking out the hair and throwing it away from the food. Neji snorted. "It's probably for the best, darl-"

"Get back here! That's mine!" You groaned, hearing Jayden and Jaylen go at it for the fifth time in the last two hours. "I got it, Neji," You quickly rushed after them, hoping to reach them before tears were shed.

"Boys? What's the matter?" You stumbled backward as a body slammed into your leg. "J-Jaylen-nii took my f-favorite kunai!" You sighed at the mention of the rubber weapon.

Neji had insisted on starting your children off early, not that you minded, it was just that they would never put the knives down.

"It's alright, baby, don't cry," You cooed, ruffling his hair. "Jayden! Come give your brother back his toy!" Thus beginning a high stakes game of tag, in which Jayden managed to run into every hiding space and the second you moved past it, he'd dart the opposite direction.

"Jayden Hyuga! Come back here this second if you want dessert tonight!" Jaylen looked appalled at the threat and covered his mouth in shock. Neji came up behind you, wrapping an arm around your waist.

"You look exhausted." You snuggled into his embrace, releasing a sigh. "Your son has limitless energy." He chuckled, pressing a kiss to your temple.

"Ew! That's gross!" The two of you ignored Giada as your oldest ran down the stairs, a look of pure terror on his face. "Here, Jay! Gomen!" He blurted, giving him the kunai and a tight hug. You couldn't help but melt a little at the sight.

You and Neji both sweatdropped as Jaylen hugged the knife to his chest like a stuffed animal. "Is it naptime?" Neji whispered.

You huffed out a laugh. "When's the last time we actually had a nap?" It was like a magic word and all three of your children yawned.

Neji dragged a hand down his face, mumbling something that sounded like 'when was the last time we had sex'. You decided to ignore him.
"C'mon, you three, it's nap time-" Giada pulled on your shirt hem. "Can we nap with you guys?! Please!"

You lifted her up into your arms, glancing at the brunette behind you, who nodded. "Of course, sweetie." At least the two of you would finally get some sleep.

You and Neji shared a fond smile just before you fell asleep, your three children snuggled into both of your arms, snoring softly. They might be a handful, but they were your family. You wouldn't trade them for anything.
