Just kidding, the designs are actually different, btw. I drew the one on the right a thousand years ago, and it doesn't match the one with the bowtie (on the left) at all, but we won't know that because it's a back view, just in case
Notes: Part 1 found here. From late-night chats with @fruitysmellz
An AU where Neji lives and everything turns out improbably wonderful.
In this part - cravings, nut-cakes, and Tenten terrifying Hiashi. Based off actual stories from expectant mothers.
The Hyuuga clan is used to difficult pregnancies. The peculiarities of their bloodline limits means that conception is difficult to achieve in the first place, and miscarriages sadly common. It is a dark joke among them that only the Hyuuga could deal with such pregnancies, because without the Byakugan’s ability to see the developing fetus, even more miscarriages would occur than already do.
They are used to exhausted and weakened women, all their energy and chakra redirected to the high demands of the growing fetus. The Hyuuga blood limit is particularly demanding in its development, with the highly complex genetics of the Byakugan exacting a high toll in chakra and the mother’s health. The Hyuugas are used to enforced bed rest, highly regimented diets, and closely-watched daily routines.
That is why they find Tenten’s cheerful vitality strange and just a bit confusing. She no longer spars, but does spend much of her time performing katas and shadow-boxing with Neji. Tsunade herself is her personal physician (“After that dramatic announcement, I just have to see this through to the end,” explains the Hokage) and assures them that not only can Tenten maintain this level of activity, it’s actually good for her and the baby. It takes a reputation the size of the Hokage’s to keep the Hyuugas from asking Tenten to take it easy, please.
True, Tenten is a jounin - field promotion from the Fourth Shinobi War, with enthusiastic commendations from Darui of Hidden Cloud - and with larger-than-normal chakra reserves for a kunoichi, which explains her less-than-stellar chakra control. It’s well-known that the higher the chakra capacity of the mother, the better off the child. Still....
Tenten leaps up to the roof in order to enjoy the sunset light, a leap easily twenty-five feet high, and every watching Hyuuga winces.
***
“Have you seen Hyuuga Tenten?” Hiashi politely asks the chuunin receptionist at the Hokage’s Tower.
“Hyuuga Tenten, Hyuuga Tenten,” mumbles the woman as she thumbs through a sheaf of papers. “Oh yes. She’s on a C-class courier mission....”
Hiashi pales.
“...with Hyuuga Neji.”
(Neji, it is discovered, thinks of these missions as great chances to have long walks outside Konoha walls with his wife.)
***
Neji is ecstatic to have a reason to teach her meditation techniques (“It’s good for you and the baby,” he argues, and Tsunade backs him up) and Tenten finally submits to his long-running attempts to get her to try meditation. She finds she likes it, much to his pleasure, and they spend long quiet hours together in the garden.
***
Tenten has never been overly picky about her food, or about anything really. Her easy-going nature and willingness to adapt was a major, if unacknowledged, reason Team Gai throve as it did, with someone to counterbalance the intensity of its male members.
Which is why she finds it hard to admit to her sudden and intense cravings.
She’s staring at a fruit stand, her eyes fixed on the bright yellow-gold of tropical mangoes. Her mouth is watering.
She brings home eight point five kilograms of the fruit, having cleaned out the stand, and eats every single mango over the next two days.
***
Neji, on the other hand, loves to fetch her food. He loves feeling needed and he loves the feeling of providing for his pregnant wife. His attitude is something like a cat proudly leaving a kill in front of his mistress.
He begs her to tell him if she craves for anything - at once. He yearns for the pride of being his wife’s food-bringer. It’s subtly primal in its intensity.
“Do you want donuts? The fancy imported ones from Kumo? I can get you that. Fruit shakes made with Kiri spring water? More mangoes?”
“Neji, I want to sleep.”
“All right, but if you want anything, wake me up, OK? And I’ll get it for you.”
“I want you to be quiet and lay there so we can cuddle.”
****
Lee is visiting. He has brought fruits, peaches and blueberries and strawberries. (No mangoes though.) He cuts one peach up for them to snack on.
Tenten watches him handle the knife and is filled with rage and disgust, anger as intense as the sun. Her teeth are bared in a snarl, unknowingly.
Lee doesn’t notice, but afterwards Tenten is in awe of the power of her own moodswings.
***
Tenten becomes used to Hyuugas activating their Byakugan around her for a moment, scanning her developing baby with their silver eyes. Neji finds the little new life - a new life from her and him - growing under her heart absolutely entrancing, and will sometimes spend entire hours just watching her stomach.
The Hyuugas are not a communicative people. Hence, situations like Neji and Hiashi not talking about the death of the one man they both loved best in all the world for about a decade despite the severe impact it had on both their lives, and how desperately they needed to talk.
The Hyuugas don’t gush at Tenten. Instinctively private and intensely aware of the harm even a gentle touch can inflict on a person, they do not lay hands all over her without her permission. They bristle and form up protectively when they see Tenten being so handled by enthusiastic matrons outside the clan.
And so, none of them mention the fact that they can tell the baby is a boy. It simply does not occur to them.
Neji is completely stoked. (The fact is, however, he would be just as stoked if the baby had been a girl.) He croons at Tenten’s belly, at their son inside her, and tells Tenten that when ‘he’ arrives, they’ll do all sorts of things together, and how secure their quarters will be, and how fiercely he will kill anyone who threatens their baby. (It’s how Hyuugas show love - through hurting others. Hizashi understood how much Hiashi loved his daughter when Hiashi killed the Kumo kidnapper with one swift blow). At no point does he mention the word ‘son’ or ‘boy’.
***
Hiashi is the one who ends up breaking the news to her, accidentally.
“We should start preparing the molds for the nut-cakes now,” he tells her with a smile; he is pleased that his brother’s line will be continuing. “We’ll get enough round ones to send a nut-cake to everyone in the Village.”
At any other time, Tenten would be pleased and touched by Hiashi’s obvious interest and good-will towards her pregnancy, and that he knows enough about Yong cultural practices to know that it is tradition to send nut-cakes in honor of a baby’s arrival - round nut-cakes for a boy, smaller and more delicately-molded tortoise-shaped nut-cakes for a girl.
But all she can parse, right now, is how certain Hiashi is when he talks about round nut-cakes. He knows.
And then certain other things snap into place; comments others have made, about colors and superstitions. She remembers Neji saying “he’ll be perfect” and the male pronoun takes on a new, specific significance.
Everyone but her has known the baby is a boy.
Tenten bursts into tears. Hiashi is completely terrified.
***
Hiashi initially thinks he has somehow, accidentally, greatly offended Tenten by getting the Yong traditions wrong.
Wearing an expression of open and utter terror, he pats Tenten gingerly on the shoulder, with an air of someone handling live explosives. “I - I’m sorry. Did I get the shapes wrong?”
“I’m a bad mother,” Tenten sobs in reply.
“What?” is Hiashi’s erudite and intelligent response.
“I didn’t know he was a boy!” Tenten weeps.
“....oh,” Hiashi says.
***
Hiashi sorts things out, assures Tenten she is a good person and will be a great mother, and apologizes for his and his clanmates’ failure to remember she herself cannot see inside her own womb.
“You fit in with us so well it’s hard to remember you weren’t just born Hyuuga,” Hiashi explains.
Tenten calms down after a cup of Hiashi’s favorite sencha tea and some amusing anecdotes the normally-staid clan head shares. It surprises her to find out that Hiashi had raised his daughters as a single father - a paranoid, overprotective one who was - she now realizes - traumatized by the kidnap attempt on Hinata and made up for it by being stern on his children, thinking it would drive them to become strong. It also means that he had not trusted nursemaids with his daughters until they were old enough to run and do some Jyuuken self-defense, and could be left in the care of trained shinobi like Kurenai and Ko. So, he has quite the stock of wisdom about changing diapers and dealing with milk-fevers.
Time and age and exposure to Naruto’s sunny, fate-breaking will (and to Tsunade’s open-handed rule) has mellowed Hiashi’s harsh edges and taught him much. The man sitting beside Tenten and assuring her earnestly that she will be a wonderful mother is completely different from the one who Neji had hated so as a genin....or maybe he isn’t, and that man had been there all along?
***
Neji’s still in the dog-house when he gets back from his mission, though, to find Tenten waiting for him with an angry glint in her eye.
