A/N: sorry for the late update… ^^'
Chapter 4: Congratulations!
The door bell rang, waking us from our thoughts. I started to get up but was stopped by Syaoran's hand. I looked at him sceptically.
"You not going to treat me as if I'm some sort of handicapped from now on are you…?"
"Sakura…" he started faking a pain in his chest "I'm shocked! Do you really think I would do that?"
I raised an eyebrow at his 'little too sarcastic' tone of voice.
"Well your right…" he answered :P
"Mou…" was all I could say.
Syaoran went over to the door and opened it to find Tomoyo outside.
"Hi… um, Syaoran… I um… need to talk to Sakura…" she said a bit nervous.
"I already know…" he said
Tomoyo seemed to have a smile that went from ear to ear. She gave a squeal of joy and jumped onto Syaoran giving him a big hug.
"Congratulations!!!" she yelled
A slightly shocked Syaoran smiled and thanked her. Tomoyo let go of Syaoran and rushed to my side, but suddenly stopped and looked back at the door.
"It's safe! You can come in now!" she yelled
In came a struggling Eriol with a box bigger than himself. Syaoran went to assist him. He grabbed the other end of the box and felt how heavy it was, it was too much! They were going to fall!
"Ahhhh!" screamed both Eriol and Syaoran before being crushed by the evil box.
"Syaoran! Eriol! Are you ok?!" I asked rushing up to them
Tomoyo went over to help, with us pulling and the boys pushing, they managed to get out.
"Congra… tulations… Sakura… Syaoran…" said Eriol trying to get some air into his lungs again.
"…Thanks…" we said
"Tomoyo, what's in the box?" I asked
Tomoyo's eyes twinkled and her smile widened. She jumped on top of the box and took out a small knife, she dramatically lifted it up in the air and stabbed the box with it. Eriol, Syaoran and I sweat dropped. After a few more dramatic stabs, the walls of the box collapsed. Eriol smiled warmly, Syaoran and I sweat dropped some more.
"Sakura, these are copies of all the tapes I have of you and Syaoran." Said Tomoyo very satisfied.
More sweat drops…
"I want you to promise me… that when this baby is born you will show these tapes to him…" Tomoyo continued
"Or her…" Eriol finished
"Um… but, Tomoyo… doushite?" I asked
Tomoyo jumped down from the big pile of tapes and rushed to my side, taking my hands.
"Because I want this baby to be as proud of you, as you are of him…"
"or her…" said Eriol interrupting.
Tomoyo raised an eyebrow at him then she looked back at me.
"Besides…" she continued "you and Syaoran look so KAWAII!!!"
"Hoe!" I fell flat on my face and Syaoran's face faulted.
°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*°*
After Eriol and Tomoyo left, Syaoran and I ate our slightly burnt lunch. They talked a while of course about the baby. The afternoon went on a little too quickly for the couple.
Knocknocknocknocknocknocknocknocknocknock!!!!!!!!
"Who could it be at this hour?" I asked
Syaoran got up and went to answer the door. As soon as he turned the door knob he felt something pounce on him, he was ready to respond with a kick but then he heard the familiar annoying shrill of…
"Meiling!?!?!?!" I shouted rushing up to her
"Sakura!!!!" Meiling also shouted running towards me
We met in the middle and hugged.
"Ohh! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said to me.
"Arigatou Meiling!!!" I answered sheepishly.
"How did you get here so fast?" asked Syaoran
Meiling went over to Syaoran and hugged him some more also congratulating. Then she went to sit on the couch and signalled them to do the same.
"As soon as you called me and hung up I went around screaming all over the house that you were going to be a father. I'm not the only one here. Everyone got excited and we all took the first plane to Tokyo, we caught it just in time, but as you can see, it's a little late, so I came alone to be the first to congratulate you. Aunt Yelan and your sisters will be here tomorrow because they were a bit tired." She said
after a nice talk and a lot of catching on Syaoran noticed I was kind of getting tired, yawning every five minutes and all, but hey! Can you blame me? it was close to one in the morning. Meiling also noticed and made an excuse about having forgot to do something.
Syaoran sought Meiling out and thanked her 'secretly' for understanding. She nodded and waved goodbye. When Syaoran stepped back in the living room I was half asleep in a terribly uncomfortable position on the couch, he went over and carried me baby style to our bed. I nuzzled myself into him and tried for an 'arigatou which came out more like 'ashmgatmm'
He tucked me in and a few minutes later I felt him lay down beside me, I inched my way over to him and went to sleep with and idiotic smile on my face, not suspecting one bit that at that very moment there was magic happening at our apartment…
A/N: la dee da dee da… ano... Nothing interesting to say here....
