Sakura's birthday started with a bang. Her cake looks so yummy with colorful icings spelling her name and holding strawberries in place to form a circle. Though most of the cake ended up on her face, hair and clothes, none of them could care less as long as their baby is happy.
Nadeshiko dressed especially for the occasion in a pale pink sweater, that set off her emerald green eyes beautifully, and a long white skirt in an effort to dispel the gloomy air that had settled down in the house since she got sick.
Touya kept a sharp eye on his mother all through the celebration. He noted the pain that would shadow his mother's eyes more frequently than he would liked. Yet, when someone else had seen his mother then, they would see a healthy and beautiful woman who cares nothing more than to play with her daughter.

When it was time for Sakura's nap, Touya volunteered to take Sakura to their room. Since Touya's already 10 years old, or to be exact, 2 years old since he was born on February 29 that only comes every 4 years, he's trusted with taking care of his sister like carrying her through short distances.
However, this offer Nadeshiko declined. With Fujitaka following close behind, she held a sleepy Sakura in her arms and carried her slowly all the way to Touya and Sakura's room and laid her gently on the bunk bed.
Sakura let out a yaws and promptly fell asleep burrowing to the softness of the mattress, unaware of the horror that her family was about to face.
Author's note: sorry if it's a little short. wanted to make the next chaps more dramatic.
