Chapter 4: Morning sickness & cravings.

Syaoran woke up that day at the movement that took place next to him. But when he opened his eyes he didn't found anyone there.

He sat up on his bed and looked around to search for a clue of where his wife might be. Wife? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, wife.

A month after he found out that Sakura was pregnant, they decided to advance the wedding and now days they were a married couple. Of course that breaking the news to Sakura's and his family wasn't that easy as advancing the wedding.

Flashback

"Ano, we have gathered you all here because there are some very important news that we have to tell you." Sakura said as she stood in the middle of the living room where Touya, Fujitaka, Yukito, Yelan, Meilin, Syaoran's sisters and of course Eriol and Tomoyo were gathered. (And Kero that was hidden in Yukito's shirt pocket.)

Syaoran gulped as he joined Sakura in the middle on the living room and held her hand tightly, locking his fingers between hers. "Ahem... well, the main reason of us wanting to advance the wedding is because... umm... well..."

Sakura giggled at Syaoran's nervousness. "I'll tell them, don't worry..." She said giving him a peck on his cheek so he'll calm down. Of course that that had it's effect on his, but didn't calmed him down enough "Well.... the reason is that I'm pregnant. Syaoran and I are having a baby."

The group's reaction was to clap and cheer at the happy couple while Fujitaka and Yelan both got up to congratulate their son and daughter.

But of course, not everyone reacted the same way. Touya was always the exception.

End of Flashback

Syaoran rubbed his neck as he remembered Touya trying to strangle him after the news spread around. Good thing that Yukito was around to calm him down.

He yawned and rubbed his eyes as he took a glance at the watch that was placed on the night stand. It was only 7:45 in the morning.

"Sakura?" He called out, but his only answer was the sound of the toilet flushing from the bathroom.

"Hai...?" She answered with an exhausted look on her face when she opened the door of the bathroom and turned off the light, leaving the room dark again.

"Feeling better?" He asked.

"A little I guess..." She answered as she let herself fall into the comfortable arms of her husband. "Ugh, I hate morning sickness."

"Aww... my poor cherry blossom." He said sweetly laying them both back to the bed. "I'm so sorry."

"What for?" She asked closing her eyes and cuddling closer to him, wanting to find a comfortable position to fall asleep again.

"It's my fault you are going through this." He answered plating a kiss of her neck.

"It's not your fault. There's no one to blame for this. Besides it takes two people to make a baby..." She said smiling and looking up at him.

He smiled back sweetly. "I guess you are right."

"I'm always right!"

"You may have wake up with morning sickness, but your ego is just where you left it."

Sakura laughed ironically. "Very funny..."

"Anyway, when is the first ultrasound?"

"Next week I guess, why? Are you coming with me?"

"Maybe, depends if I have to go to work or not:" He answered pulling the covers around them.

(A/N: don't ask me what Syaoran does for a living.... he just works at something really cool!)

"Mou... you are so mean! You have to go."

"Don't worry I'll do my best."

Sakura smiled. "Well you better...."

There was a long silence. Syaoran was almost drifting to sleep, when Sakura's voice woke him.

"Ano, Syaoran...?"

"Hmmm?" He asked without opening his eyes.

"What do you think it will be?"

"A baby I hope, although I don't mind a goat:"

"Syaoran!"

He laughed and opened his eyes again. "Hai, hai, hai.... you know, I've never thought about. Maybe a girl, so she can have your eyes."

"It's doesn't need to be a girl to have my eyes... it can be a boy."

"You want a boy?"

"Well, yeah I guess..."

"Let fate decide it, huh?"

"Hai..." And with that she felt asleep.

Tomoyo lazily walked to the music room, from where she heard the beautiful piano melody playing. Her hair was a mess, since she had just woken up, but she didn't care. All she care about was to see the source of the piano melody.

She opened the door and stepped into the cold wooden floor of the music room, where she found Eriol sitting on the piano bench playing a familiar song.

She closed her eyes and let the sound fill her, as she remembered singing that same sound when she was ten years old. It brought so many memories back to her mind.

It had been a long time Eriol played the piano that she wondered what made this occasion so special from him to play the piano so early in the morning.

She giggled as she notice that he was still wearing his pajamas, consisting in black jogging pants and a black sweater. His hair was a bit messed up and his glasses where no where in sight. For a moment she wondered how could he play the piano without seeing a thing.

Silently, she approached him and sat next to him on the bench, laying her head on his shoulder as he continued playing.

After a while, they melody fated away leaving a very comfortable silence between them.

"It's had been long since you last played the piano." Tomoyo commented still leaning against him.

"It's a special occasion to play again."

"And what might that be?"

"It's my baby's first month birthday." He answered grinning at her.

"How do you know that?"

"I just know."

She smiled at him and gave him a long kiss on the lips. "I'm starving."

"You or the baby?" Eriol asked standing up and offering his arm to her.

"I would say both, meaning that I have to eat for both." She answered taking his hand and letting him guide her to the kitchen.

"Sure... what do you want to eat then? I'll cook for you."

"You'll cook for me?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's there something wrong about that?"

"Eriol, you never cook."

"I may not do it very often, but that doesn't mean that I don't know how to. Remember... I grew up with Nakuru."

"Hai, hai..." Tomoyo nodded as she remember Eriol's moon guardian who had stayed back in England to chase after cute guys. And off course that Spinel didn't wanted to leave her all alone. Eriol sometimes will comment that Nakuru actually threaten him to stay with her. "You know what? Today I just woke up with a craving for... pickles."

"Too much for cooking I guess..." He murmured once they entered the kitchen. "That's all you are going to eat?"

"No, I want pickles... with chocolate syrup and pepper."

Eriol looked sick. "E-excuse me?"

"Pickles with chocolate and pepper." She repeated sitting down on the counter.

"Are you sick or are you pregnant?" He asked trying not to imagine the combination.

"I am pregnant and that is a craving! So make me that!" She ordered.

"I think it's better that you make that yourself."

"Why?"

"Because besides that you'll have my dinner from last night as a dressing."

"That's gross, Eriol!"

"Well, so is your breakfast."

Tomoyo laughed and walked over to him. "Fine... I'll do it myself. But you owe me one!" And with that she spanked him and kicked him out of the kitchen.

Usually, when a woman is pregnant she eat way too much. She eats for her baby and for herself. That was perfectly understandable, but when Sakura served herself for the third time Syaoran began to worry.

"Ano, Sakura... where do you put all that you're eating?" He asked eying her perfect slim body, that in a couple of months was going to grow bigger.

Sakura giggled and winked at him. "I really have no idea. But I just don't get full! And I have this craving for chocolate cake... do we have chocolate cake??!" She asked excited.

"Uhh... I think so."

"SUGOI!" She cried happily getting up from her seat and waking over to the fridge from where she took out the chocolate cake and sat back down on the table.

"You are... not going to eat all that, ne?" Syaoran asked raising an eyebrow.

"Actually yes."

"Can you leave me some?"

"No."

"Aww... please? Pretty please?" He asked putting a hurt puppy's eyes look.

"Syaoran that's creepy, you know that?"

"You are mean when you are pregnant." He commented finishing his own meal before Sakura decided to take over that too.

"Alright, I'll leave you some."

"Thanks." Syaoran said, but somehow he had a feeling that he was never going to see that chocolate cake ever again.

Eriol was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly felt a tug at his shirt. He didn't wanted to scare the sleep away so he just turned to face another direction.

"Eriol..." Tomoyo whispered into his ear still tugging at his shirt.

"Hmm?" He murmured softly.

"I want ice cream."

"There's some in the fridge."

"No, I don't want that kind of ice cream." She said in a childish way. "Can you go out and get me some?"

"Tomoyo..." Eriol said opening his eyes and checking his watch. "It's three o'clock in the morning and you want me to get you ice cream? Everything is close."

"TCBY is open 24 hours a day." She answered brightly.

Eriol groaned and sat up on the bed. "Fine!"

"Thank you!!" She cried happily and giving him a warn hug.

"Yeah, yeah... what ice cream do you want?"

"Berry, berry, grape and cherry with gummi bears and a cherry."

"What the hell is that?!"

"It's a type of ice cream. They sell it at TCBY."

"Oh, my god... I can't believe I'm doing this. Are you coming with me?"

"Umm... I think I'll stay here and sleep a while."

"Oh, no, you are not. You are coming with me!" And with that he dragged her out of the bed and got her coat on the way.

They got into Eriol's car and drove to the nearest TCBY ice cream place, which was almost on the other side of the city and Eriol got down to get the so wanted ice cream.

"May I help you, sir?" The woman behind the counter asked.

"Yeah, do you happen to have berry and grape ice cream?"

"Berry, berry, grape and cherry?"

"Yeah, that one."

"Yes, we have. Would like that with a topping?"

"Yes, please. Gummi bears and a cherry."

"What size of the cup?"

"The biggest one you have. You know what... just give me three king size cups to go."

The woman eyed him strangely and then asked still uncertain. "Three king size?"

"My wife is pregnant." He answered pointing at Tomoyo who was smiling happily in the car.
