Chapter 3: Mystery solve.
The same sound repeat all over again as the clock needles moved, sign that another minute of silence has passed.
Syaoran traveled his gaze all around the kitchen and finally returned to the same point, the person sitting in front of him.
As for Eriol, he had his brow furrowed and his arms crossed with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The situation had been pretty much the same all afternoon, at least since Eriol arrived to Syaoran's apartment, when he called him and told him that something came up. After he arrived, what had happened was explained to him and the only result of this was getting him more confuse.
"Ok, let's look at the situation again..." Eriol said breaking the silence between them. "Three days ago we found a pregnancy test in my house. We investigate about it and found nothing about it, but that same night we ask Tomoyo and Sakura and they said that the ones that were pregnant were Chiharu-san and Rika-san, right?"
"Right." Syaoran answered nodding.
"Ok, so the next day we asked Yamasaki, who only freaked out and then he asked Chiharu-san and she told him it wasn't her. After that all three girls told us that none of them were pregnant, right?"
"Right." He said again.
"And last night... a second pregnancy test appeared in here, right?"
"Right." Syaoran confirmed as he drank water.
"Ok.... so, when was the last time you and Sakura did it?"
At that question, Syaoran choked on the water and sputtered out. "What?!" He asked coughing and blushing. "What the hell does that had to do with anything??!"
"It's obvious... none of the girls will do anything if they knew they were pregnant..."
"How do you know that?!" He asked as dried up his mouth and nose with a napkin.
"I just know, ok?"
"Yeah, right."
"Well answer my question..."
"I'm not going to answer that! It's private information!!"
"Private my ass, we have an emergency here!" Eriol cried getting up from his seat.
Syaoran hesitated for a moment and finally answered looking away. "Like a couple of days ago..."
"Can you be a little more specific?"
"What?! Do you want me to tell you exactly how we did it or what??!"
"Please save that to yourself." Eriol answered glaring at him. "I was talking about exactly who many days ago."
"I dunno!! Do you think I keep a record of it?"
"Wouldn't surprise me at all..." Eriol murmured while Syaoran shot a dirty look at him. "But do you know or not?"
"I dunno! Four days ago! Geez..."
"That's much better... hmm..." He murmured scratching his chin.
"Well, what about you?"
"You are dying to find out, aren't you?" Eriol asked giving him a sly look.
"What?! NO!" Syaoran cried blushing. "It's fair enough that you tell me since I told you."
"Excuses... but if you wanna know... last night."
After a pause Syaoran asked. "That means...?"
"That it's probably Sakura."
"..... Seriously, how do you know about that?"
"I don't. I'm just taking my guess."
"Idiot..." Syaoran murmured when suddenly he heard the front door of his apartment open and then closed. "Sakura?" He asked to make sure it was her.
"Hai?" Came her reply from the living room.
"You know what? I can't take this any more... I'm asking her!" Syaoran whispered to Eriol and got up from his chair.
"No, wait!" But before Eriol could do anything, he was already in the living room.
"Went shopping I see..." Syaoran murmured as he saw the four bag full of clothes on the couch.
"Sorry... I took her shopping! It's just that there were so many kawaii things that Sakura-chan had to bought them!" Tomoyo explained with dreamy eyes. "Those bab--" But she was suddenly cut off by Sakura's hand.
"Bab--....?" Asked Syaoran raising an eyebrow.
Sakura giggled nervously. "What Tomoyo-chan meant was... uhhh..." She looked around and gave Tomoyo a side glare. She would get back for that one. "Those... baboons we saw were very kawaii!" She exclaimed and then realized the size of the stupidity she just said.
"Baboons?" Asked Eriol looking at her strangely. "You went to the zoo?"
"Kinda..." Tomoyo answered sweatdropping.
"Why don't you girls sit down for a moment... there's something very important that we need to talk about." Syaoran said seriously.
Tomoyo and Sakura shared nervous glares for a while and then sat down on the couch. Eriol and Syaoran sat in front of them and then the conversation started.
"Both of you already know that Hiiragizawa found a pregnancy test in the garbage can of his house, right?" Syaoran asked and when both girls nodded he continued. "Well, last night I found another pregnancy test here."
There was an awkward pause and then Eriol decided to interrupt. "As you can see, the situation got a little complicated since Mihara, Yanagizawa and Sasaki talked to us and told us that none of them are pregnant. Basically that means that one of you is pregnant and after trying to burn our brains trying to find out which one of you was... we plain just decided to ask."
"Which one of you is pregnant?" Asked Syaoran looking into the eyes of both of them.
Sakura and Tomoyo once more shared glares. And after a final deep breath Tomoyo spoke. "I guess it's no use on lying to you guys anymore. We were just waiting to be sure to actually drop the news."
"I was the one that took the pregnancy test is Tomoyo's place...." Sakura answered blushing and looking down at her knees. "And after that one I took another one here at the apartment."
Syaoran's eyes widened. "And...?!" He asked a little desperate.
"I...." Sakura paused and looked up at his eyes. "I'm pregnant, Syaoran."
Syaoran's expression softened as a warm smile appeared on his lips. "Really?"
Sakura smiled and nodded. "Yeah, really.... we are going to have a baby."
Syaoran's smile grew wider got up from his place and kneel in front of her. "Thank you." And with that he gave her a kiss on the lips and held her in a warm embrace.
Sakura's eyes filled with tears as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I thought you didn't wanted the baby..."
"What made you think that? I'd love to have a baby with you... you're the love of my life." He said without realizing her.
"Awww... that's so kawaii!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed happily as she recorded the moment with her new camera. Old habits are hard to die after all...
"You really have nothing better to do, don't you Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked after he let go of Sakura.
"Hmm... actually I do have something better to do." She said winking suspiciously at Sakura.
In response Sakura grinned. "As you might guessed we did went shopping but before that, Tomoyo came with me to the doctor to get another test. And he confirmed that I was indeed pregnant."
"But...." Tomoyo continued turning to see Eriol, who was standing beside her. "Taking advantage that I was there... I decided to take a test for myself since my period was delay for almost two weeks.... and the results were positive. I'm pregnant too."
Eriol's expression remained like a stone. He wasn't moving or breathing... he wasn't breathing???! And after he realized what happened he did the most natural thing a man could have done... he fainted.
