I'll Always Be With You {On Pause}

Chapter 18

Secrets

~*~

Once the day has come by, (Y/N) was finally released from the hospital as Naruto was kind enough to help her...but made a scene to the public which was so unnecessary to do so. Hinata and the kids laughed in the back while (Y/N) tried to cover her face as she grew red. But for Naruto, he kept a straight face adding glimmer of stars going around his head; showing off a toothy grin expressing himself.

"Dad...you know you don't have to do this."

"I had to, you know it would take so much time bringing in a wheelchair and for them to bring it back inside the hospital. Besides, this is easier and a proper way to do so."

She relieved a soft sigh as her lips curl up into a smile, "Thanks Dad."

It was silent for a moment before he had to bring up what he had to say, "You know, you've been calling me 'Dad' all the past couple of days staying in the hospital. Has something gotten into you?"

Blushing more in embarrassment, she looks away, "Well...it's been a while that I hardly see you from time to time."

He hummed with a bright look on his face as he softly chuckle, "At least I'm proud to call you my daughter."

Feeling heart warmed from each other's comments, they finally arrived standing on front of his car.

"I'll drive this time, you need some rest once we get back home." Hinata kindly insisted taking the keys from her husbands hand.

"Thanks Hinata," he sighed with heart-warming eyes over his wife once she steps inside of the vehicle.

"One day you and Mom should really have a night out together. Just the both of you."

"Yeah...but being a mayor is pretty tough. Since I rarely have enough time spending with my own wife and children."

"I suppose your right about that," she sadly looks away as her (E/C) eyes lingered over to Sarada.

The kids chuckled in the back seats as Himawari chose to sit on top of her brother's lap, Sarada in the middle, and (Y/N) sitting on the right side of the seat.

Once they finally drove off away the hospital, (Y/N) has taken a glance over the tall building as memories flooded by.

That one day, that one day it turned everything upside down.

Pushing away the thought of it, she focuses back to her leg as her mind processed over the incidents and Kim.

While the Uchiha wondered off on her own, Sarada's mind was a bit similar like her mothers. She was more worried, unsafe, anxious but worried.

Sarada became so worried about her mother. Not after what just happened from this big commotion that ended themselves here and now. No, she won't even ignore that.

Her charcoal eyes lingered over to her mothers figure with a sadden look in her eyes. Eyebrows curved together as she frowned, "I can't just stand here and do nothing. Not after what Mom is going through."
