Chap. 22: "Don't love you?"
Author's note: Hiya I'm sorry for the little shocker but a woman needs to know where she stands. At least that's what I think, as I said before that was the last sad chapter YAY.
I know that the last chapters heading didn't fit in but I couldn't think of another name. Sorry LOL, um this is twenty-two and I hope that you guys really enjoy and thank you to all those who took the time to review.
Arigatou, ne ways on wit da story.
"You stole my heart the first time I laid eyes on you that stormy night"
Syaoran's thoughts
Syaoran couldn't believe he was hearing that she wanted a divorce? "You don't think I love you?" he whispered turning to face; Sakura looked him square in the eyes before she spoke.
"You don't love me, the only reason you wanted to marry me in the first place was because I was pregnant and it was the only sensible thing to do. And because Lin loved me as well, I know that I was only the next young thing in your life" Sakura continued looking at him defiantly. The words that Gwen said so many months ago at the restaurant, repeating in her mind, Sakura didn't want to believe them but she had to know what he felt.
"Your foolish child" he said briskly walking in front of the bed. "If you were only the next young thing in my life I wouldn't have married you just because you got pregnant. I loved you, you hear me? I loved you but I didn't want to admit it to myself so I made up excuses as to why I was doing something. I would never have pursue you or make you drive me crazy if I didn't love you"
"If you did then why didn't you come to Japan for me or at least tell me?" she yelled teary-eyed glancing down briefly.
"Because when you left I found out that you were really Kamisaka Sakura or Cherry, I felt betrayed. I had given you plenty of time to tell me the truth and you didn't, what do you think I would have done if you had told me?" Sakura didn't have an answer to that, she knew now that it was a stupid mistake not telling him. Syaoran looked down at the bed as he poured his heart out to her in order to save what they had. He hoped to god she wouldn't throw it in his face. "And Lin had a severe attack of the heart, they thought she was going to die and even signed her up for a heart transplant. All around me my world was falling apart and there was nothing I could do about it," he explained softly not even looking up at her. If he did he would have seen the tears that were streaming down her face. "Then you made that public announcement that you didn't know who I was and had never seen me before, along with that ridiculous speech about that idiot" she laughed sorrowfully making him look up. "At that point I wanted nothing to do with you, I didn't want to hear your name or see your face. I even tried to fool myself into thinking that I could fall out of love with you but that was impossible because it ran too deep into my soul" he looked into her eyes. "That was stupid because I just thought about you more and when I used the excuse to go to Tokyo in Lin's cause I was even then denying what I felt. When I felt my children, our children move for the very first time I fell in love all over again but it hurt that you didn't remember me. I thought you were faking until I saw all the tablets you took and got even more suspicious when you woke up not remembering anything"
"Please" she whispered weakly cutting him off, she couldn't take anymore of what he was saying because every word cut at her heart, every word tore her apart.
"No I must---" he continued knowing he had to continue, he had to make her want to stay with him and Lin and not leave.
"Syaoran, no" she interrupted her voice cracking as she held back her tears. She smiled weakly not knowing what to do, "can you say that again please, that's all I want to hear?" she asked softly with a pleading look in her eyes.
"I love you Ying Fa," he said softly making her smile starting to cry.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you but I was afraid" she got out weakly. "I was scared that my mother would find me and take me from you and Lin. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make you love me like how I loved you. I was terrified that I would fail to be a good mother to Lin and our children and that I would let all of you down." She looked away not wanting to see any pity in his vivid brown eyes; she couldn't take it if he pitied her.
"Remember when we first met I said that I wasn't afraid of anything?" he asked, she nodded softly remembering the night now that everything was coming back to her bit by bit. "Well now I know that I lied because I know now that I'm afraid of losing you and Lin. I went up to the roof and prayed that you be fine and nothing would happen to you. I've never felt that lost and useless from since my father died and frankly I don't like that feeling at all. Please don't leave me," he begged his voice filled with a rare emotion.
"I---I won't, how could I?" she said so low that he almost didn't hear her, moving from the front of the bed he walked to her side and sat beside her.
"Are you saying you don't want to divorce this cold hearted beast?" he asked taking her hands in his, Sakura laughed softly nodding.
"That's exactly what I'm saying, you're my cold hearted beast no one else's" Sakura stated moving her hand from his to touch his cheek.
"You don't know how much that means to me," he said hugging her, well as best as he could. He pulled away and looked deep into her emerald pools as he lowered his head to kiss her. Sakura gladly welcomed the kiss after not feeling them for too long. Syaoran parted her lips with his tongue making Sakura's hold on his shirt tighten a moan escaping from her.
Outside the room.
"I need to go in and check on Mrs. Li," the woman said looking at T, who wouldn't move out of her way.
"I don't think you want to go in there now ma'am just wait another half n' hour" T replied with his hands folded over his chest.
"Why?"
"Because they are making up and you wouldn't want to interrupt them," he answered. He had over heard them arguing before but now they were quiet and that was a good sign at least he hoped so.
Inside.
When they pulled away Syaoran smiled and kissed he again making her giggle resting back. "Hmmm---amazing" she whispered smiling.
"I would hope so" he replied light heartedly placing his hand on her belly. "DO you know what sex?" he asked thoughtfully.
"Nope not yet, I don't think I want to know let it be a surprise" Sakura replied closing her eyes momentarily. "When can I go home?" she asked not liking hospitals.
"I don't know when the doctor will allow you to leave, he'll probably want to know that everything is all right first" Syaoran answered sighing.
"What happened to me?" she inquired remembering how she passed out in the Li mansion.
"Your mother had you taking an illegal drug that erases memory for a short time," he answered in a pained voice. Sakura swallowed audibly, deep down she knew that this had something to do with her mother and wondered how she could be this cruel to her own flesh and blood. "It was a risky chance she took giving it to you while you were pregnant but she did anyways giving you a lot of vitamins so you wouldn't have a relapse or fatal seizure" he stopped when Sakura started to cry.
"How could she do this to me?" she sobbed closing her eyes tightly. Syaoran picked her up and rested her on his lap making sure to disrupt the IV or anything else. "I'm supposed to be her daughter and my babies are her grandchildren"
"She's a very wicked woman. She's not your mother because if she were she wouldn't have done that to you just for money" Syaoran objected strongly. "She's never going to hurt you again I made sure of that"
"How?" she whispered holding unto her husband for security.
"The Hong Kong police is holding and her lover Sinclair on many charges one being attempted murder on five counts" he explained tightening his hold on her. "I, we almost lost you and the babies, it was by a miracle---" he had to try hard to hold back his tears. In his heart he was thanking god over and over for giving a second chance to be a real husband and father.
"No more, please just hold me" she interrupted softly wiping her tears away. "My mother's name is Daidouji Sonomi and I am the wife of Li Xiao Lang. My name is Li Ying Fa"
"Hai. Your Li Ying Fa, my wife and mother of my children" he repeated holding to him as he rocked her back and forth. He didn't know how long he held her in that position but he looked up when the nurse walked in the room sometime later.
"Good lord, she must be in her bed" she exclaimed walking faster over to them, Syaoran just looked at her blankly.
"What time is it?" he asked getting up to rest Sakura down, he waited until she pulled the covers back.
"Half past three in the morning" she answered moving out of the way so he could rest her down. "The doctor said he will see you in the morning for further discussions"
"Thank you," he sighed sitting in the chair, he waited until she left before he moved it back over to the bed. Getting into a comfortable position he rested back in the chair.
Morning.8 A.M
The room door opened slowly to avoid any noise, a figure slowly moved towards the bed with a sly smile on her face but before she could execute her plan her victim caught her. "Don't even think about it Lin" Syaoran said softly making her stop abruptly moving the feather from his face.
"Good morning father" Lin beamed stepping back, she looked at his messy hair and giggled. Syaoran ran his hand through his hair smiling at his pretty daughter.
"Is that how you great your father?" he asked raising a brow at her, Lin nodded no and jumped into his arms hugging him tightly.
"SO this is where the little monster went" Tomoyo said walking into the room with a bright smile on her face Maria following behind.
"Hey Tomoyo, where's Eriol?" Syaoran asked placing Lin on the ground.
"He went to the office, he said he'll be waiting there for you if you decide to show up" she answered placing the small suitcase she had on the floor. "Syaoran go home, shower and eat something. We'll stay here with Sakura; Mei Lin and the boys should be arriving soon along with your mother. Wei is outside waiting for you"
"All right, I'll be back around twelve because Sakura and I have to talk with the doctor. You girls be good, Sakura still needs her rest" he sighed grabbing his coat; he glanced at Sakura before he took his leave. He nodded at T before heading down the hall ignoring all the looks he got, getting into the elevator he put on his jacket. When the doors opened he walked swiftly out to the front, however before he could reach Wei a reporter caught him.
"Mr. Li how is the condition of Cherry and are the accusations of your relationship with her true?" the man asked holding up a recorder. Syaoran stopped when they reached Wei and looked at the man frowning.
"My wife is fine," he said curtly before getting in, they drove off leaving the man standing where he was in shock. (This is a Tomoyo moment, ahem "HOHOHOHO he said wife, HOW KAWAII!!!!!!!!" clears throat, thank you hehehe)
Syaoran.
He thanked god that he only had to go home to eat and shower, and he couldn't even find most of his clothing or any food. He couldn't even move around freely in his apartment because of all the people that were in it. He was glad that Eriol had doubled security in his building because of all the reporters out side. He felt like he was trial or something. When the elevator doors opened he walked to his office noticing that he was the center of attention there as well. "I didn't think you would come" Eriol smiled when he walked into the meeting frowning.
"I change my mind besides this shouldn't take long" he replied looking at all the men present in the room. "Well should we get down to business?" he asked making them all nod. He placed his briefcase on the large mahogany table, and sat in his large black leather chair at the head the table, Eriol facing him at the other end. He loosened the tie a little all ready glancing at the clock making Eriol smile.
Saku.
She woke up to hush talking, partly opening her eyes she looked around the room but didn't see Syaoran instead she saw a black haired female talking with a nurse. Glancing down she saw two small figures playing on the floor, a tiny smile forming o her lips. "No, I will not allow her to eat that don't worry about it, our family is on their way with better, healthier food" Tomoyo was saying to the woman. "Just give me the tea, thank you," she added closing the room door. "Well look at whose finally awake" she said smiling at Sakura. "You do remember who I am right?"
"Of course I remember you Tomoyo, how could I not?" Sakura asked smiling which made Tomoyo's smile widen.
"That's a relief, sit up and drink this down so it'll warm ya up," Tomoyo said holding up the cup of tea when Lin and Maria got off the floor.
"Do you remember us?" Lin asked softly holding her shirt. Sakura looked at her and nod softly making the child's bottom lip begin to tremble before she ran, climbed on the chair, bent over and hug Sakura as best as she could. "You aren't going to leave us right?" she said feeling Sakura rub her back.
"Oh why would I do such a thing" Sakura replied. "I would never dream of leaving you and Xiao Lang"
"I'm glad that you and father made up" Lin whispered softly, she was sure that she was the happiest girl on the face of the world. And thanked god that her family was together again.
"I'm glad too, where is he?" Sakura asked when Lin pulled back.
"Auntie Tomoyo sent him home to shower and eat, he said he would be back later" Lin answered when Maria climbed up on the chair.
"Are you going to be our star again?" she asked shyly, Sakura nodded taking her hand in hers.
"Of course I would like nothing better" Sakura said making them both grin, nodding.
"Come girls get down so Sakura can drink this down while it's still warm" Tomoyo ordered, they nodded getting off the chair. "You had us all scared to death last night"
"I'm sorry," she said sadly making Tomoyo laugh shaking her head.
"Oh Sakura, thank god you came back to us for if you hadn't Syaoran would have killed the poor doctor"
"What?" she gasped chocking on her tea.
"He didn't tell you?" Tomoyo asked not losing her smile, Sakura shook her head in a clueless manner. "Well the doctor said he couldn't do anything to save you" she started softly getting all their attention. "He asked to speak to a family member in private. Poor Syaoran I don't think he was sure you would have wanted him to call you his wife" Sakura flushed looking down. "But he stepped forward anyways, he and Eriol went to talk to the doctor in private because he wanted consent to use a new drug on you in order to save you and your babies choice---" before she could continue any further the doctor walked in.
"Good morning ladies or is it close to afternoon?" he asked glancing at the clock that said ten to ten.
"Good morning" they all said watching him walk over to Sakura's bed for her check up.
"How are you feeling dear?" he asked taking her wrist in his hand to time her heartbeat.
"Wonderful, when can I do go home?" she asked smiling. (She seems to be asking that a lot lately.)
"You want to leave us so soon?" he asked in mock hurt making Sakura laugh. "Well I don't want to say until I've spoken with you and your husband first. I don't want to get on his bad side"
"Oh my what did he do?" Sakura asked wanting to know the tale. But it looked like she wasn't going to get one anytime soon because Mei Lin and Yelen walked into the room with her food making her stomach growl. Mei Lin placed Danny down before walking over to Sakura.
"It seems to me that you and your children are hungry, eat child I'll come back when Mr. Li has arrived good day" he said writing something down on the board before leaving.
"Hey Sakura how are you feeling?" Mei Lin asked bringing her the food.
"Great, now all that I'm feeling is hunger, food please," Sakura begged holding out her hands.
"That's good to know and again you and my son are the center of everyone's attention" Yelen sighed sitting on the sofa on the room.
"Hoe?"
"You can't turn on the radio without hearing something about you and Xiao Lang. And every news channel is talking about you two as well with this whole thing and plus when you denied marriage" Mei Lin explained making Sakura frown.
"I don't think I want to leave this hospital room then since as I won't be able to go out with out being afraid" Sakura mumbled sadly finishing up the food they had brought her.
"Don't worry, when you leave here you'll be spending the rest of your pregnancy out in the country" Yelen clarified making them all look at her. "I did the same with all my pregnancies. If you ask me country air is better for your babies then this wretched city air"
"What about Lin's schooling?" Sakura asked objecting. She knew that Lin was ahead of children her age but that didn't mean she had a right to miss school.
"Remember that Lin was always traveling with me thus meaning she had a tutor. Miss Thornberry is available for all those months" Yelen answered making it seem as if she had planned everything out all ready.
"And Xiao Lang's work?" Sakura continued making Yelen frown.
"I hadn't thought of that but surely he can leave the company in our care for a couple of months. We'll talk about it with him when he arrives"
"Talk about what?" a voice asked opening the door, they hadn't realized that time had passed so fast.
"Father" Lin exclaimed running over to him, he smiled and picked her up in his arms. He couldn't believe that his was the child the doctors were sure would be a sickly child; it shows how much they knew.
"Hello to you too" he grinned looking over at Sakura who smiled back. "How are you?" he asked tenderly.
"Wonderful now that I've eaten" Sakura giggled. "Tomoyo are those clothes for me?" she asked meaning the bag.
"Yeah, I figured you would need them" Tomoyo answered making her smile.
"Wonderful, I want to shower," Sakura explained pressing the buzzer for nurse. "I might as well make use of this wonderful room because I'm leaving tomorrow"
"Did the doctor say you could leave that early?" Syaoran asked placing Lin down, she nodded 'no' making him frown. "Then you can't leave"
"But why? I'm perfectly fine. I hate hospitals they give me the creeps" Sakura whined, the nurse entered the room preventing Syaoran from continuing.
"Ma'am?" she said smiling.
"Can you please take these off me?" Sakura asked meaning the things she was hooked up to. "I want to take a bath or shower," she explained making the girl nod.
"Yes ma'am I'll help you," she said walking over to the bed where she started to unhook Sakura.
"I'll go and start the bath for you Sakura" Tomoyo stated getting the stuff she had brought and bringing them to the bathroom with her. "This is really nice, god how much did you pay for this room Syaoran?" came Tomoyo's voice making him smile.
"I rather not say" he replied when Sakura put her legs over the bed but they didn't reach the floor making his smile widen and his eyes flash teasingly.
"Don't even," Sakura said giggling. "Thank you, very much"
"Sakura it'll be ready in a few, aren't you going to need help, your still weak" Tomoyo observed. "I mean when I was here pregnant with Maria Eriol had to help me bath" Sakura looked at her eye wide.
"Why?" she stuttered not even wanting to look at Syaoran.
"Because I didn't want a nurse to bath me, patients here have to have supervision" she answered making Sakura gasp. She didn't want some stranger to bath her, and she certainly wouldn't feel right having Tomoyo or Yelen bath her. She didn't even want to consider, not finishing the thought she looked at Syaoran, who was looking out the window.
"But I'm quite capable of bathing my self" Sakura stated firmly.
"I'm sorry ma'am but we cannot allow you to bath by your self" the nurse replied folding her arms. "Don't worry I've done this a lot of times"
"No really," Sakura said weakly shaking her head no.
"Since as you wouldn't feel right with any of us, I'm sure Xiao Lang will help you" Yelen interrupted making Sakura blush and Syaoran looked at her with a lost expression. He had missed the entire conversation wondering what the doctor had to tell them. "Won't you dear?" she asked making Lin, Tomoyo, Mei Lin and Maria smile wickedly.
"Won't I what?" he asked blankly.
"Go and get me some ice cream" Sakura burst out making them jump giving her a weird look.
"We'll get you the ice cream, come girls," Yelen ordered making them get up right away. Tomoyo nodded grabbing her purse.
"We'll give you two enough time" Mei Lin commented with Danny on her side, before disappearing out the door with the others.
"I guess its settled, if you need anything don't be afraid to buzz" the nurse sighed walking out of the room; she had wanted to bath her first celebrity. Oh well.
"What is it that I'm doing?" he asked again frowning. Sakura looked at him and blushed wanting to kill all of them for leaving her in such a position.
"Uh, ah you don't have to if you don't want to" Sakura mumbled getting off the bed slowly, doing such a simple task seemed like it took a lot out of her.
"Sakura?" he said in a warning voice making her stop. "What is it you need my help with?" Oh boy there was no way he was going to drop this subject until she answered him.
"Well I can't take a bath by myself, can you help me?" she whispered looking down, Syaoran wasn't sure he had heard her right. Didn't she just say she wanted him to help her bathe?
"Pardon?" he said shaking his head, Sakura looked up at him with a hurt expression.
"Nothing don't worry about it" Sakura answered walking to the bathroom but halfway there he stopped her.
"I didn't hear what you said," he confirmed beside her ear. "I wasn't sure if you asked me to bath you,"
"That is what I asked you Xiao Lang" Sakura grumbled, he chuckled making her start to walk.
"I would love nothing more," he stated huskily running his hand over her belly playfully.
"Hentai" she gasped turning to face him. "You must promise to behave," she declared lightheartedly seeing his wolfish smile.
"Scouts honor" he swore leading her in. "Do you know that this suit leaves the back hanging out?"
"Oh my" she choked her hands flying behind her to cover herself up. "Syaoran, oh" she couldn't even think of anything to say or know how to hide her embarrassment.
"Don't worry its not a bad view, it's a most spectacular site" he teased making her giggle turning to face him.
"Close your eyes while I undress" she ordered trying to keep a straight face at his comical expression.
"Sakura you've got to be kidding, look I'll solve both of our problems," he said making her raise a brow at him.
"And How's that?" she asked, to her astonishment he took off his black jacket and placed it on the counter before rolling his white shirt sleeves up then finally losing his tie. (Did ya'll think he was going to bathe with her? you Hentais LOL)
"Now" he said moving closer to her, he bent down to the hem of the gown and lifted it up and over her head. "Hmmm I see those have gotten larger," he teased making her cover her breasts her cheeks ten different shades of red. She couldn't believe the nerve of him.
"So what? Were they too small for you originally?" she asked in mock hurt, making him chuckled touching her exposed belly.
"No cherry blossom, they were perfect," he whispered next to her ear before kissing her softly. "Come its time for your bath" he added leading her over to the tub.
"I have a feeling your going to enjoy this more then I," she pointed out getting in the warm water, sighing in content.
"I don't think your correct, just watch and see who'll want me to bath them more often" he commented in a pained voice. He was wondering how just seeing her naked could heat his blood so. God help him.
Author's note: Syaoran's a HENTAI!!! LOL Ne ways I hope that this chapter eased everyone's pain and hatred for me hahahaha. YAY they are finally together forever, well that's how it seems right now. Look for update tomorrow or the day after if I'm motivated enough. JA NE.
Author's note: Hiya I'm sorry for the little shocker but a woman needs to know where she stands. At least that's what I think, as I said before that was the last sad chapter YAY.
I know that the last chapters heading didn't fit in but I couldn't think of another name. Sorry LOL, um this is twenty-two and I hope that you guys really enjoy and thank you to all those who took the time to review.

"You stole my heart the first time I laid eyes on you that stormy night"
Syaoran's thoughts
Syaoran couldn't believe he was hearing that she wanted a divorce? "You don't think I love you?" he whispered turning to face; Sakura looked him square in the eyes before she spoke.

"If you did then why didn't you come to Japan for me or at least tell me?" she yelled teary-eyed glancing down briefly.
"Because when you left I found out that you were really Kamisaka Sakura or Cherry, I felt betrayed.

"Please" she whispered weakly cutting him off, she couldn't take anymore of what he was saying because every word cut at her heart, every word tore her apart.
"No I must---" he continued knowing he had to continue, he had to make her want to stay with him and Lin and not leave.
"Syaoran, no" she interrupted her voice cracking as she held back her tears. She smiled weakly not knowing what to do, "can you say that again please, that's all I want to hear?" she asked softly with a pleading look in her eyes.
"I love you Ying Fa," he said softly making her smile starting to cry.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you but I was afraid" she got out weakly. "I was scared that my mother would find me and take me from you and Lin. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make you love me like how I loved you. I was terrified that I would fail to be a good mother to Lin and our children and that I would let all of you down."

"I---I won't, how could I?" she said so low that he almost didn't hear her, moving from the front of the bed he walked to her side and sat beside her.
"Are you saying you don't want to divorce this cold hearted beast?" he asked taking her hands in his, Sakura laughed softly nodding.
"That's exactly what I'm saying, you're my cold hearted beast no one else's" Sakura stated moving her hand from his to touch his cheek.
"You don't know how much that means to me," he said hugging her, well as best as he could. He pulled away and looked deep into her emerald pools as he lowered his head to kiss her. Sakura gladly welcomed the kiss after not feeling them for too long. Syaoran parted her lips with his tongue making Sakura's hold on his shirt tighten a moan escaping from her.
Outside the room.
"I need to go in and check on Mrs. Li," the woman said looking at T, who wouldn't move out of her way.
"I don't think you want to go in there now ma'am just wait another half n' hour" T replied with his hands folded over his chest.
"Why?"
"Because they are making up and you wouldn't want to interrupt them," he answered. He had over heard them arguing before but now they were quiet and that was a good sign at least he hoped so.

When they pulled away Syaoran smiled and kissed he again making her giggle resting back. "Hmmm---amazing" she whispered smiling.
"I would hope so" he replied light heartedly placing his hand on her belly. "DO you know what sex?" he asked thoughtfully.
"Nope not yet, I don't think I want to know let it be a surprise" Sakura replied closing her eyes momentarily. "When can I go home?" she asked not liking hospitals.
"I don't know when the doctor will allow you to leave, he'll probably want to know that everything is all right first" Syaoran answered sighing.
"What happened to me?" she inquired remembering how she passed out in the Li mansion.
"Your mother had you taking an illegal drug that erases memory for a short time," he answered in a pained voice. Sakura swallowed audibly, deep down she knew that this had something to do with her mother and wondered how she could be this cruel to her own flesh and blood. "It was a risky chance she took giving it to you while you were pregnant but she did anyways giving you a lot of vitamins so you wouldn't have a relapse or fatal seizure" he stopped when Sakura started to cry.
"How could she do this to me?" she sobbed closing her eyes tightly. Syaoran picked her up and rested her on his lap making sure to disrupt the IV or anything else. "I'm supposed to be her daughter and my babies are her grandchildren"
"She's a very wicked woman. She's not your mother because if she were she wouldn't have done that to you just for money" Syaoran objected strongly. "She's never going to hurt you again I made sure of that"
"How?" she whispered holding unto her husband for security.
"The Hong Kong police is holding and her lover Sinclair on many charges one being attempted murder on five counts" he explained tightening his hold on her. "I, we almost lost you and the babies, it was by a miracle---" he had to try hard to hold back his tears. In his heart he was thanking god over and over for giving a second chance to be a real husband and father.
"No more, please just hold me" she interrupted softly wiping her tears away. "My mother's name is Daidouji Sonomi and I am the wife of Li Xiao Lang. My name is Li Ying Fa"
"Hai. Your Li Ying Fa, my wife and mother of my children" he repeated holding to him as he rocked her back and forth. He didn't know how long he held her in that position but he looked up when the nurse walked in the room sometime later.
"Good lord, she must be in her bed" she exclaimed walking faster over to them, Syaoran just looked at her blankly.
"What time is it?" he asked getting up to rest Sakura down, he waited until she pulled the covers back.
"Half past three in the morning" she answered moving out of the way so he could rest her down. "The doctor said he will see you in the morning for further discussions"
"Thank you," he sighed sitting in the chair, he waited until she left before he moved it back over to the bed. Getting into a comfortable position he rested back in the chair.
Morning.8 A.M
The room door opened slowly to avoid any noise, a figure slowly moved towards the bed with a sly smile on her face but before she could execute her plan her victim caught her. "Don't even think about it Lin" Syaoran said softly making her stop abruptly moving the feather from his face.
"Good morning father" Lin beamed stepping back, she looked at his messy hair and giggled. Syaoran ran his hand through his hair smiling at his pretty daughter.
"Is that how you great your father?" he asked raising a brow at her, Lin nodded no and jumped into his arms hugging him tightly.
"SO this is where the little monster went" Tomoyo said walking into the room with a bright smile on her face Maria following behind.
"Hey Tomoyo, where's Eriol?" Syaoran asked placing Lin on the ground.
"He went to the office, he said he'll be waiting there for you if you decide to show up" she answered placing the small suitcase she had on the floor. "Syaoran go home, shower and eat something. We'll stay here with Sakura; Mei Lin and the boys should be arriving soon along with your mother. Wei is outside waiting for you"
"All right, I'll be back around twelve because Sakura and I have to talk with the doctor. You girls be good, Sakura still needs her rest" he sighed grabbing his coat; he glanced at Sakura before he took his leave. He nodded at T before heading down the hall ignoring all the looks he got, getting into the elevator he put on his jacket. When the doors opened he walked swiftly out to the front, however before he could reach Wei a reporter caught him.
"Mr. Li how is the condition of Cherry and are the accusations of your relationship with her true?" the man asked holding up a recorder. Syaoran stopped when they reached Wei and looked at the man frowning.
"My wife is fine," he said curtly before getting in, they drove off leaving the man standing where he was in shock. (This is a Tomoyo moment, ahem "HOHOHOHO he said wife, HOW KAWAII!!!!!!!!" clears throat, thank you hehehe)
Syaoran.
He thanked god that he only had to go home to eat and shower, and he couldn't even find most of his clothing or any food. He couldn't even move around freely in his apartment because of all the people that were in it. He was glad that Eriol had doubled security in his building because of all the reporters out side. He felt like he was trial or something. When the elevator doors opened he walked to his office noticing that he was the center of attention there as well. "I didn't think you would come" Eriol smiled when he walked into the meeting frowning.
"I change my mind besides this shouldn't take long" he replied looking at all the men present in the room. "Well should we get down to business?" he asked making them all nod. He placed his briefcase on the large mahogany table, and sat in his large black leather chair at the head the table, Eriol facing him at the other end. He loosened the tie a little all ready glancing at the clock making Eriol smile.
Saku.
She woke up to hush talking, partly opening her eyes she looked around the room but didn't see Syaoran instead she saw a black haired female talking with a nurse. Glancing down she saw two small figures playing on the floor, a tiny smile forming o her lips. "No, I will not allow her to eat that don't worry about it, our family is on their way with better, healthier food" Tomoyo was saying to the woman. "Just give me the tea, thank you," she added closing the room door. "Well look at whose finally awake" she said smiling at Sakura. "You do remember who I am right?"
"Of course I remember you Tomoyo, how could I not?" Sakura asked smiling which made Tomoyo's smile widen.
"That's a relief, sit up and drink this down so it'll warm ya up," Tomoyo said holding up the cup of tea when Lin and Maria got off the floor.
"Do you remember us?" Lin asked softly holding her shirt. Sakura looked at her and nod softly making the child's bottom lip begin to tremble before she ran, climbed on the chair, bent over and hug Sakura as best as she could. "You aren't going to leave us right?" she said feeling Sakura rub her back.
"Oh why would I do such a thing" Sakura replied. "I would never dream of leaving you and Xiao Lang"
"I'm glad that you and father made up" Lin whispered softly, she was sure that she was the happiest girl on the face of the world. And thanked god that her family was together again.
"I'm glad too, where is he?" Sakura asked when Lin pulled back.
"Auntie Tomoyo sent him home to shower and eat, he said he would be back later" Lin answered when Maria climbed up on the chair.
"Are you going to be our star again?" she asked shyly, Sakura nodded taking her hand in hers.
"Of course I would like nothing better" Sakura said making them both grin, nodding.
"Come girls get down so Sakura can drink this down while it's still warm" Tomoyo ordered, they nodded getting off the chair. "You had us all scared to death last night"
"I'm sorry," she said sadly making Tomoyo laugh shaking her head.
"Oh Sakura, thank god you came back to us for if you hadn't Syaoran would have killed the poor doctor"
"What?" she gasped chocking on her tea.
"He didn't tell you?" Tomoyo asked not losing her smile, Sakura shook her head in a clueless manner. "Well the doctor said he couldn't do anything to save you" she started softly getting all their attention. "He asked to speak to a family member in private. Poor Syaoran I don't think he was sure you would have wanted him to call you his wife" Sakura flushed looking down. "But he stepped forward anyways, he and Eriol went to talk to the doctor in private because he wanted consent to use a new drug on you in order to save you and your babies choice---" before she could continue any further the doctor walked in.
"Good morning ladies or is it close to afternoon?" he asked glancing at the clock that said ten to ten.
"Good morning" they all said watching him walk over to Sakura's bed for her check up.
"How are you feeling dear?" he asked taking her wrist in his hand to time her heartbeat.
"Wonderful, when can I do go home?" she asked smiling. (She seems to be asking that a lot lately.)
"You want to leave us so soon?" he asked in mock hurt making Sakura laugh. "Well I don't want to say until I've spoken with you and your husband first. I don't want to get on his bad side"
"Oh my what did he do?" Sakura asked wanting to know the tale. But it looked like she wasn't going to get one anytime soon because Mei Lin and Yelen walked into the room with her food making her stomach growl. Mei Lin placed Danny down before walking over to Sakura.
"It seems to me that you and your children are hungry, eat child I'll come back when Mr. Li has arrived good day" he said writing something down on the board before leaving.
"Hey Sakura how are you feeling?" Mei Lin asked bringing her the food.
"Great, now all that I'm feeling is hunger, food please," Sakura begged holding out her hands.
"That's good to know and again you and my son are the center of everyone's attention" Yelen sighed sitting on the sofa on the room.
"Hoe?"
"You can't turn on the radio without hearing something about you and Xiao Lang. And every news channel is talking about you two as well with this whole thing and plus when you denied marriage" Mei Lin explained making Sakura frown.
"I don't think I want to leave this hospital room then since as I won't be able to go out with out being afraid" Sakura mumbled sadly finishing up the food they had brought her.
"Don't worry, when you leave here you'll be spending the rest of your pregnancy out in the country" Yelen clarified making them all look at her. "I did the same with all my pregnancies. If you ask me country air is better for your babies then this wretched city air"
"What about Lin's schooling?" Sakura asked objecting. She knew that Lin was ahead of children her age but that didn't mean she had a right to miss school.
"Remember that Lin was always traveling with me thus meaning she had a tutor. Miss Thornberry is available for all those months" Yelen answered making it seem as if she had planned everything out all ready.
"And Xiao Lang's work?" Sakura continued making Yelen frown.
"I hadn't thought of that but surely he can leave the company in our care for a couple of months. We'll talk about it with him when he arrives"
"Talk about what?" a voice asked opening the door, they hadn't realized that time had passed so fast.
"Father" Lin exclaimed running over to him, he smiled and picked her up in his arms. He couldn't believe that his was the child the doctors were sure would be a sickly child; it shows how much they knew.
"Hello to you too" he grinned looking over at Sakura who smiled back. "How are you?" he asked tenderly.
"Wonderful now that I've eaten" Sakura giggled. "Tomoyo are those clothes for me?" she asked meaning the bag.
"Yeah, I figured you would need them" Tomoyo answered making her smile.
"Wonderful, I want to shower," Sakura explained pressing the buzzer for nurse. "I might as well make use of this wonderful room because I'm leaving tomorrow"
"Did the doctor say you could leave that early?" Syaoran asked placing Lin down, she nodded 'no' making him frown. "Then you can't leave"
"But why? I'm perfectly fine. I hate hospitals they give me the creeps" Sakura whined, the nurse entered the room preventing Syaoran from continuing.
"Ma'am?" she said smiling.
"Can you please take these off me?" Sakura asked meaning the things she was hooked up to. "I want to take a bath or shower," she explained making the girl nod.
"Yes ma'am I'll help you," she said walking over to the bed where she started to unhook Sakura.
"I'll go and start the bath for you Sakura" Tomoyo stated getting the stuff she had brought and bringing them to the bathroom with her. "This is really nice, god how much did you pay for this room Syaoran?" came Tomoyo's voice making him smile.
"I rather not say" he replied when Sakura put her legs over the bed but they didn't reach the floor making his smile widen and his eyes flash teasingly.
"Don't even," Sakura said giggling. "Thank you, very much"
"Sakura it'll be ready in a few, aren't you going to need help, your still weak" Tomoyo observed. "I mean when I was here pregnant with Maria Eriol had to help me bath" Sakura looked at her eye wide.
"Why?" she stuttered not even wanting to look at Syaoran.
"Because I didn't want a nurse to bath me, patients here have to have supervision" she answered making Sakura gasp. She didn't want some stranger to bath her, and she certainly wouldn't feel right having Tomoyo or Yelen bath her. She didn't even want to consider, not finishing the thought she looked at Syaoran, who was looking out the window.
"But I'm quite capable of bathing my self" Sakura stated firmly.
"I'm sorry ma'am but we cannot allow you to bath by your self" the nurse replied folding her arms. "Don't worry I've done this a lot of times"
"No really," Sakura said weakly shaking her head no.
"Since as you wouldn't feel right with any of us, I'm sure Xiao Lang will help you" Yelen interrupted making Sakura blush and Syaoran looked at her with a lost expression. He had missed the entire conversation wondering what the doctor had to tell them. "Won't you dear?" she asked making Lin, Tomoyo, Mei Lin and Maria smile wickedly.
"Won't I what?" he asked blankly.
"Go and get me some ice cream" Sakura burst out making them jump giving her a weird look.
"We'll get you the ice cream, come girls," Yelen ordered making them get up right away. Tomoyo nodded grabbing her purse.
"We'll give you two enough time" Mei Lin commented with Danny on her side, before disappearing out the door with the others.
"I guess its settled, if you need anything don't be afraid to buzz" the nurse sighed walking out of the room; she had wanted to bath her first celebrity. Oh well.
"What is it that I'm doing?" he asked again frowning. Sakura looked at him and blushed wanting to kill all of them for leaving her in such a position.
"Uh, ah you don't have to if you don't want to" Sakura mumbled getting off the bed slowly, doing such a simple task seemed like it took a lot out of her.
"Sakura?" he said in a warning voice making her stop. "What is it you need my help with?" Oh boy there was no way he was going to drop this subject until she answered him.
"Well I can't take a bath by myself, can you help me?" she whispered looking down, Syaoran wasn't sure he had heard her right. Didn't she just say she wanted him to help her bathe?
"Pardon?" he said shaking his head, Sakura looked up at him with a hurt expression.
"Nothing don't worry about it" Sakura answered walking to the bathroom but halfway there he stopped her.
"I didn't hear what you said," he confirmed beside her ear. "I wasn't sure if you asked me to bath you,"
"That is what I asked you Xiao Lang" Sakura grumbled, he chuckled making her start to walk.
"I would love nothing more," he stated huskily running his hand over her belly playfully.
"Hentai" she gasped turning to face him. "You must promise to behave," she declared lightheartedly seeing his wolfish smile.
"Scouts honor" he swore leading her in. "Do you know that this suit leaves the back hanging out?"
"Oh my" she choked her hands flying behind her to cover herself up. "Syaoran, oh" she couldn't even think of anything to say or know how to hide her embarrassment.
"Don't worry its not a bad view, it's a most spectacular site" he teased making her giggle turning to face him.
"Close your eyes while I undress" she ordered trying to keep a straight face at his comical expression.
"Sakura you've got to be kidding, look I'll solve both of our problems," he said making her raise a brow at him.
"And How's that?" she asked, to her astonishment he took off his black jacket and placed it on the counter before rolling his white shirt sleeves up then finally losing his tie. (Did ya'll think he was going to bathe with her? you Hentais LOL)
"Now" he said moving closer to her, he bent down to the hem of the gown and lifted it up and over her head. "Hmmm I see those have gotten larger," he teased making her cover her breasts her cheeks ten different shades of red. She couldn't believe the nerve of him.
"So what? Were they too small for you originally?" she asked in mock hurt, making him chuckled touching her exposed belly.
"No cherry blossom, they were perfect," he whispered next to her ear before kissing her softly. "Come its time for your bath" he added leading her over to the tub.
"I have a feeling your going to enjoy this more then I," she pointed out getting in the warm water, sighing in content.
"I don't think your correct, just watch and see who'll want me to bath them more often" he commented in a pained voice. He was wondering how just seeing her naked could heat his blood so. God help him.
