4th chapter, enjoy.

"This means I'm going to have a little Syaoran!" Sakura said, not even wincing at his name. Tomoyo swallowed hard, she was having a hard time dealing with this and she wasn't even the pregnant one.

"Or a little Sakura…" Sakura sighed contentedly. "This is exciting."

"Um, Sakura-chan I don't mean to burst your happy bubble but how are you going to tell Toya and your dad?" Tomoyo asked.

By the look on her face, the violet eyed girl sighed and sat her down to help her plan a way to tell her family; a way that wouldn't make Toya purchase an immediate plane ticket to China and decapitate the leader of Li Corps. After hours of thinking, the two just decided that the best way to do it was to just be honest about it all. Just cut to the chase and not beat around the bush.

Later that afternoon, Fujitaka and Toya were sitting in the living room with curious eyes, watching Daidouji serve them tea and smile kindly at them. Sakura even tried to run away which added to the suspicious looks the two men were giving her.

"And that's pretty much it," Sakura finished telling them what had happened, looking down and holding tightly to Tomoyo's warm hand. Kero had been hiding in Tomoyo's bag, trying really hard not to burst out in front of everyone. Fujitaka stood up right in front of Sakura and she winced, thinking he might hit her; he pulled her up and gave her a long embrace that made Sakura cry in relief.

Toya was quiet, too quiet.

"I'm going to see that damn kid, punch his teeth in and feed him to the damn dogs." Toya stood up, grabbing his jacket.

"Toya!" Sakura shouted, scared.

Fujitaka rolled his eyes and sat him back down on the couch, glaring at him. Toya tutted and crossed his arms over his chest like a little boy throwing a tantrum.

"Enough Toya." Fujitaka warned. "Sakura, we'll get through it together as a family, okay?" The man smiled at his daughter. The girl nodded and sobbed into his shirt once more.

"Honestly, I'm kind of glad it was Syaoran and not someone else," Her dad smiled warmly at her. Tomoyo smiled at the sight, happy that her family was being supportive of her best friend.

It was April 1st, in other words, Sakura's 18th birthday. By that time, she was seven months pregnant. It was crazy how time flew by and the last time she saw Syaoran was back in September of the previous year. It had been so long that she last shed a tear over him and the only reminder of the love they once shared was the beautiful life growing inside her. Which she wanted it to be a surprise and asked the doctor to not say a word about the sex or if there was three or four or five babies! She just wanted to know if he/she was healthy.

Sakura struggled to get out of bed as her humongous round belly blocked her view from below. Kero had to transform in order to push her up with his enormous head.

"Kero-Chan, I haven't seen Yue in a while. How is he?" She grabbed her key from around her neck.

Kero turned back into a small fry and flew above her and sat on her belly to face her.

"He's fine, very worried about you." He crossed his little legs and arms.

"Ah, I see." She said. She jumped in surprise and her eyes lit up when she felt movement inside her belly. "Did you feel that Kero-Chan?!" She beamed with contentment, sitting up a little. Kero roamed around the high part of her belly until he was caught off guard by a kick that made him fly upward, startled.

"Whoa there, She's a kicker." Kero flew back down and settled himself on the side. Sakura laughed and patted his head.

"It's probably a he, a kicker just like his father," Sakura's eyes gleamed. Kero rolled his eyes in annoyance. Something he did whenever that brat was mentioned.

"How are you so sure that it's a he?" he retorted. Sakura shrugged.

"It's just a feeling I get," She smiled at her guardian.

The entire afternoon was filled with joyous laughter, drinking delicious punch and eating succulent deserts courtesy of Fujioka. Her friends from high school were there and they were all enthralled by the size of her belly and would take turns trying to feel at least a kick. Chiharu and Takashi were particularly excited, asking Sakura about the pregnancy and how it was for her to deal with the side effects like swollen feet and achy backs. They couldn't have made it more obvious that they wanted a kid as well. Everyone was careful not to mention Syaoran; his name was like a taboo subject. But as over it as she was, Sakura couldn't help but wish that he was around.

"Do you need help with the dishes?" She wobbled over to the kitchen where Tomoyo rinsed the plates the cake was served on.

"Go rest, I'll join you soon!" She sighed, taking another glance at the pile of dishes. "I hope."

"There's an easier way to do this, come here." Sakura pulled her friend and smiled deviously.

"RELEASE!" She chanted as her staff settled in her hands. Tomoyo looked at her and nodded.

"Bubble," they both smiled.

"Please help us clean these dishes so we can get some rest," Sakura whipped out her card.

"BUBBLE!" She whispered yelled. The bubble card acted immediately, enveloping the silverware in soapy foam. It returned as its respective card form. "Please rinse the dishes," Sakura whipped out another card. "WATERY!" The card activated, the mermaid like creature emerged and neatly rinsed groups of plates and utensils.

Tomoyo smiled in happiness, knowing she didn't have to wash the mountain of stuff that had piled up.

"What about to dry them?" Tomoyo asked, whipping her head towards a worn out Sakura. "Actually, I'll do them. Clearly using magic wears you down."

Sakura shook her head, panting slightly. "I'm good."

"WINDY!" She summoned and the beautiful air creature appeared, aiding them.

Arigatou everyone. Sakura thought, knowing her cards will certainly hear her.

"You're right, using magic while pregnant is horrible," Sakura leaned on Tomoyo who helped her up the stairs.

"Maybe you shouldn't have, it totally drained the little energy you had left." She giggled as they got to Sakura's room.

"It was fun. I never get to use my cards that much so why not?" Sakura laughed and plopped on her bed, careful not to wake the sleeping yellow creature next to her pillow. Tomoyo fixed herself on her sleeping back and wished her a good night before drifting off.

July 13th

"Li!" Mei Ling burst through the doorway. "Happy Birthday!"

"It's not until tomorrow, Mei Ling." He chuckled, continuing to scribble down on a paper.

"I know that but I won't be here tomorrow."

"Why's that?"

"Actually I won't be here for the rest of the week." The girl bit her lip, leaning against the doorframe.

"What? I need you here, where are you going?"

"Japan."

Syaoran dropped his pen and looked at her, his brows rising. "What business do you have in Japan?" He asked sternly.

"None that you need to worry your pretty little mind about; I'm leaving someone else in charge of my position."

Mei Ling waved at him. "Need me to tell Kinomoto anything, I might go visit her."

"Ah… uh… no. No, nothing."

Mei Ling shrugged. "Suit yourself."

"Don't tell her you're working with me. Don't say absolutely anything about me, got it?" Syaoran warned. "You're good at scheming stories so just make up something that you don't know much about me anymore."

His cousin gapped at him and her disbelief was unreal. "Whatever, you sissy."

"Tomoyo, can we go home now?" Sakura complained, finishing the last of her vanilla ice cream as they entered a new baby store. Tomoyo had her camera at hand, filming everything Sakura did.

"Not until we buy enough things for your baby!" Tomoyo squealed and Sakura stuck her tongue out at the camera. "Which by the way is very late…"

"The time will come; the doctor said it was normal." Sakura said indifferently, looking through a few girly dresses. "Also, why are we buying mostly girl things? It's probably a boy, you know? I can feel it." Sakura smiled, rubbing her round tummy. Tomoyo rolled her eyes.

"Maybe, maybe not. If it is a boy I have the receipt for everything we bought." She said. Sakura groaned, picking up a small pair of forest green booties. Her eyes welled up in tears and she looked away from the camera. Tomoyo noticing this turned it off and walked over to her.

"What's wrong?" She asked, placing a hand on Sakura's back.

"I wonder how he is, I miss him sometimes." Sakura confessed with a sigh and quickly composed herself, shaking her head from unneeded thoughts.

"I'm sure he misses you a lot too Sakura, I'm positive that he does." Tomoyo said, giving her a reassuring hug.

"Yeah right, he misses me so much that he doesn't call me or write to me or do anything to keep contact with me. It's been so long!" Sakura cried. "I missed prom because of him, I didn't get out of the house because of him, I got pregnant because of him and he's not even around so I can tell him all of this in his stupid face,"

Sakura sat down on a nearby and Tomoyo rubbed her back, letting her cry as much as she wanted.

"I need to get over him. There are more important things I need to focus on," Sakura dried her tears and leaned her head on Tomoyo's shoulder. "One call can't hurt him, Tomoyo," She sniffled and she felt a small kick. "Aw, he's upset too," Sakura smiled sadly, trying to stop crying and rubbed her belly and suddenly feeling very… wet.

"Oh, Oh!" Sakura grabbed her belly. Tomoyo panicked.

"What's wrong Sakura?!" She held onto her. "Are you okay?" She asked, watching her friend scrunch up.

"Tomoyo, my water broke," She said, holding her lower stomach. Tomoyo looked down and saw Sakura's legs and pants soaked in liquid.

"Oh dear!" Tomoyo freaked out, reaching for her cell phone and dialing Sakura's dad's number. He instructed her to take her to the hospital which was only a few blocks away.

When they arrived at the hospital, Sakura was admitted in a flash. Not even half an hour passed and Toya arrived followed by his dad. Tomoyo was shaking and Toya tried to calm her down while his dad went to find out how Sakura was doing.
