1 That Endless Day

Chapter 02

 

"Whatever you have to say to me, my husband must hear it too, we don't keep secrets from each other" I spoke harshly.

 Syaoran stood up and kissed my forehead "I'll be right outside if you need me" with that he left the room.

 I was incredibly nervous after he left and kept my eyes at the door, Dr. Nagisa talked but I really did not pay attention till I caught some of his words "…in any case you think you should talk to your family". I felt a lump in my throat, was it that serious?

 "Now, onto those questions" he fixed his eyeglasses over his nose. "It is clear that you've been experiencing heavy fatigue, I have to ask, Mrs. Li, has there been any dramatic change in your diet?" he took at me quizzically "such as a sudden loss or increase in appetite?"

 I shook my head "Nothing big really, though I suppose I have been taken snacks here and there more often than usual" I finished with a slight shrug.

 He wrote something unrecognizable on his chart "I see, now I know that you experienced some minor difficulties through your first pregnancy with your twins?"

 The memory saddened me, the doctors told me it was near impossible for me to have children after that "Yes, there were some complications and I had to go through surgery"

"Yes, I took the liberty if talking to your gynecologist, tell me Mrs. Li have you experienced any more problems?"

 "Syaoran and I were thinking about having more children someday; I went through an operation more or less eight months ago…" I stopped to gather myself "but they said that it would only be about 45% effective".  

"I don't want to alarm you, Mrs. Li, but what we have on our hands is extremely serious… and I have been talking to Dr. Tsukimoto about this also and she says there could be major graveness"

 Every word he said literally chilled me to the bone, Dr. Tsukimoto was my gynecologist and she had been supervising my health ever since I gave birth to the twins.

 Dr. Nagisa stood up "Well, I believe the nurses are waiting for you in the lab"

 We both went outside and as soon as we stepped out the door Syaoran stood up from his chair and went by my side. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently while giving him an encouraging smile. All three of us headed to the laboratory that was to our right down a long narrow hallway.

Syaoran, whom was still holding my hand, had a grounded look on his face and he kept looking straight forward. I also kept on looking, but my mind tried to stay away as far as possible, to my happiness.

 

*** Flashback

 It was Christmas morning, four year olds Nadeshiko and Xiao-Ken Li had done a successful job in turning their living room into a mess of gift wrap paper and toys. The air was filled with laughter radiating from both children.

 "Alright Xiao-chan show us your toys" Syaoran spoke as he waved with his camera. Xiao-Ken smiled broadly showing off his brand new radio controlled car and some new baseball equipment.

 Sakura turned her head to see Nadeshiko with a scowl on her face, she was concerned about the daughter "Nad, honey what's wrong, you don't like your presents?" She nodded but she still held the same look.

 "Santa forgot a present" She half-cried. Syaoran turned to her "And what was that? I saw all those pretty dolls you got" She shook her head "I like my dolls, but he forgot to bring me a little sister!"

 Sakura was both shocked and saddened. How would she tell her children that she couldn't have more babies?"

 ***End Flashback

 Alright, so maybe that wasn't the best thing to think about. I do admit that today, thoughts about babies have been clouding my mind. Before I knew it I was sitting down while the doctor talked to the nurses.

 "I need an urgent sample to be taken to my office immediately, this could be very serious" His last words were meant to come out as a whisper. Syaoran shot his head up. Dr. Nagisa noticed this instantly. "Please nothing to worry about, but it is necessary to take certain precautions". I can't believe he was smiling.
