Chap. 23: "Take me home."
Author's note: HEY LOLZ I'm surprised that I didn't get any yelling only cheering lol. Hmmm I don't know which one I like more, the yelling or cheering. I have to admit that the yelling reviews are way more fun to read, cheering reviews are mellow.
Um I want to thank all of you who reviewed and I've been thinking about putting up the names of those who've reviewed a lot but then I had to cross that idea out. I think I would be there most of the day writing all the names down LOL.
Hentai mean pervert.
Sakura is supposed to be due in the middle of April.
And this story is going to end, I won't be going into the next weekend at least I don't want it to. After this Sakura will be having her kids and you guys will finally know what their names are. I want to make the chapters a bit more exciting but Sakura's activities are really limited since as she's tugging around four watermelons.
Hehehe ne wayz on wit tha story.
"The Lord has finally answered my prayers, and gave me what I yearned--- love"
Lin's thoughts
"Well I think you were right about that, I want you to bathe me more often" Sakura giggled looking at her husbands frowning face. "Syaoran are you all right?" she asked touching his face worriedly. She was dressed in a homey floral mother dress with her hair up in a ponytail.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he replied sighing, which made Sakura's grin widen.
"Don't worry, we'll be bathing a lot together after I give birth" she commented sincerely making him smile. (Who's the Hentai now? LOLZ)
"I don't think that's a god idea," he said slyly looking her in the eyes.
"Oh?" she giggled when he rested his head on her shoulder, his hair tickling her neck.
"See what your mother does to me boys?" he spoke to her belly then placed his ear on it as if waiting for a response.
"How do you know they are boys?" she asked playing with his hair.
"Because we worked very hard for boys," he answered making her laugh shaking her head hopelessly at him. "But I know that we're having a girl, see we can't have all boys, we have to have at least one girl for Lin"
"You're horrible" Sakura got out through laughter when there was a knock on the door. They expected to see Tomoyo and the others but it was Dr. Avalon instead.
"I'm sorry, am I interrupting?" he asked closing the door behind him, Sakura nodded 'no' while Syaoran nodded 'yes' jokingly which earned him a slap.
"No not at all I thought you were my family bringing me my ice cream" Sakura said when Syaoran sat up. During the bathing session he had lost his white shirt as well only remaining in his under shirt.
"I told them to wait for a while since as I need to talk with you and Li," he explained placing his clipboard on the table. "Come now I must get you hooked back up" he added making Sakura frown. She looked at Syaoran but he nodded that she should listen to him.
"What is it that we need to talk about doctor? When I can leave here?" she asked watching him work.
"You must really want to leave us but yes after your test tomorrow you are free to leave," Avalon answered making Syaoran and Sakura sigh.
"That's wonderful, isn't it?" she beamed looking at Syaoran who nodded waiting for the Avalon to say 'but'
"Mr. Li's mother told me about the plan to have you move to the country until you give birth but I can't allow that" he continued in a soft voice making Sakura glace at Syaoran worriedly.
"Why not?" she asked resting back on the bed, Syaoran moved from the end to the other side and sat beside her.
"Because you might go into labor early and I'm afraid to say that there might be complications" he said gravely making Sakura squeeze Syaoran's hand that she was playing with.
"Complications?" she echoed not thinking she had heard him right, why would she be having complications?
"Yes, the drug that your mother was giving you could cause birth defects" he answered grimly.
"Syaoran he's lying right?" she said shaking her head as she looked at her husband but he looked down and nodded 'no'. "What kind of complications?"
"Well I'm not sure but it could be some mental or physical disability like sight, deafness or inability to walk"
"No" Sakura cried not believing that that would happen to her children. She wouldn't allow it, she wouldn't believe it, and he knew nothing. "No you just wait and see, my children are going to be healthy. They aren't going to have anything wrong with them, my boys are going to be as strong and as intelligent as their father" she shouted angrily tears forming in her eyes.
"Sakura, shhh" Syaoran whispered hugging her as she cried.
"Syao, tell him that our children are going to be just like you" she pleaded holding unto him tightly. "He's the devil, he's mean telling us that"
"Sakura calm, he isn't the devil he's just a doctor giving us advice. I don't believe that anything will be wrong with our children. They are going to be beautiful and talented just like you" he soothed looking at the Avalon apologetically. "And if anything were to happen it wouldn't matter because they are our children and we won't love them any less, right?" Sakura nodded begging god not to let Vanessa ruin her children's life.
"Right, they are ours, our babies. I want to go home now, I don't want to stay here please," she begged hoarsely.
"She can't leave, its not safe for her to leave so soon" Avalon objected sternly, taking out a sedative and a needle from his white coat.
"No I want to go home, please," she continued soaking his shirt. "My babies are going to be all right, there's no reason for me to stay here in your presence" she spat irritably turning to glare at him. "And if you think you are coming anywhere near me with that blasted needle you've got another thing coming" she screamed making them both wince from the high pitch, she wasn't a singer for nothing.
"Don't come any closer, please leave us" Syaoran advised to him. He nodded reluctantly and got his clipboard before leaving he made sure to write down that the patient was recovering at a fast rate.
"We're leaving here right now, I'm not staying in this place any longer" Sakura huffed getting off the bed, she walked over to her suitcase pulling out all the cords she was hooked up to in the process, and started to close it. Syaoran got off the bed listening to her rambling as he ran his hand through his hair.
"Infant" he called softly making her spin around giving him a deadly look but Syaoran was used to it.
"Nani?" she asked angrily, and at the fact that he wasn't helping her leave.
"You can't leave here," he stated as wiped more of her tears away.
"And why's that?" she got out wondering whose side he was on.
"Because if you leave without having your check up, you might be complicating the babies lives and yours," he answered making her stop. She hadn't thought about that, she didn't want to do anything that might harm them. She closed her eyes feeling sleepy even though the Avalon hadn't given her anything to induce sleep.
"I don't want to do that," she whispered opening her eyes as she walked into his arms.
"I know, first thing tomorrow we'll have your check ups and then we leave" he comforted making her nod against his chest exhaling.
"Why can't I have them now?" she inquired stubbornly making him laugh.
"Persistent are we?" Syaoran said looking down at her, she looked into his intense amber with pleading eyes. "We can't leave here now because I'm not taking you back to my place"
"Why? Don't you want me there?" she asked looking up at him with sad eyes.
"No I don't want you there" he repeated making her try to push out of his arms but he wouldn't let her. "I want us to go home, to our house. Even though you left I never had the workers stop on renovation the house, the only things that needs to be finished is nursery"
"But why did you continue?" she asked bewildered, he only shrugged in response.
"I don't know, you said you wanted to move in before Christmas so I had my men working over time. It was supposed to be finish two days after we got married and it was. Today I had my staff and sisters move yours and my clothing in" Sakura was speechless that he was doing all this, and also the kindness of his sisters. She'd never felt more honored "But I must confess that out of all of us, Lin's things are going to be the hardest to move. I had to assign at least six people for her room"
"I can imagine, you're wonderful" Sakura said feeling highly proud of her husband. She tiptoed and kissed him soundly on the lips making him smile.
"The best for you infant, but you must promise me you'll behave to poor Avalon" Syaoran laughed, she nodded smiling innocently but he knew better. "Good girl" he added when she yawned resting her head against his chest.
"Hmmm too much excitement" she mumbled wrapping her arms around his torso to keep upright. She yelped when he bent down, picked her up and carried her off to the bed. Instead of putting her on the bed, he cradled her like a child brushing her hair off her face.
"I think your right, rest now my love," he whispered kissing her on the forehead.
"I like love better then infant, I love you," she mumbled making him smile lovingly. "My little wolf," she murmured cuddling up to him as she fell into a peaceful slumber. After he rested her down, Yelen and the others walked in with an assortment of flowers to add to Sakura's growing flower garden.
"When she leaves here she'll be able put together her own garden. What did Avalon give her again?" Tomoyo asked looking at the sleeping Sakura.
"He didn't give her anything, she wouldn't let him come near her" Syaoran answered sighing.
"Did something happen?" Yelen inquired worriedly.
"No, he just told us that she might have some complications at birth" he answered solemnly.
"Complications?" Mei Lin echoed at the door holding Danny to her side.
"Yeah Avalon said that Sakura might have some complications at birth," Tomoyo said sitting down. This was getting more and more complicated and now this about her birth, poor Sakura and Syaoran.
"What kind?" Yelen interrupted looking at the door for Lin and Maria's entrance.
"Well he isn't sure, but he said that she might have the babies early. And there's a chance of some mental or physical disability" Syaoran confirmed making them all gasp eye wide. Then slowly their eyes trailed to Sakura's sleeping form with pity and worry.
"Oh my---
Next day.
"Hmmm---, let's see" a man hummed moving his hand, Lin and Syaoran's brow furrowed getting angry at the fact that he hadn't said anything yet. "Well-- -that's something" he continued making Lin glance worriedly at her father, her fingers crossed. They watched as he murmured something incoherent and wrote it down on this clipboard.
"What is Hmmm, Well that's something, and blah, blah, blah?" Lin asked getting impatient which made the man smile putting his instrument down. She was so much like her father that it wasn't funny but at least she had the beauty of her mother and he's meaning Sakura.
"Nothing's wrong my dear, everything is wonderful" he beamed getting up which made Lin and Syaoran smile, she winked back him when he winked at her.
"So she can go home?" Syaoran asked getting up, he glanced at his watch knowing that Sakura would be up soon then it would be time for her visit with the Avalon.
"Well I don't see why not but she still mustn't do anything too demanding. I can't explain how she's doing so much better when mere days ago she couldn't leave her bed" he continued raising his brow at Lin who smiled guiltily.
"Oh I won't do anything too demanding. I have to save all my energy for my sisters and brothers" Lin said in a matter of fact tone making the man laugh nodding in agreement.
Down town Hong Kong.
"Well it seems that your daughter is perfectly fine and so are her babies," a policeman said showing Vanessa the papers. She stared at it as if wanting to make it burst into flames. "And she's going to be living a wonderful life while your behind bars, don't worry I'll make sure to bring you one of her new CD's now and then" he mocked placing the paper inside her holding cell.
His laughter echoed through the halls as she walked slowly over to the papers. She looked at her broken fingernails and cringed feeling the hatred she had for Sakura boil in side her being. "If you survive then you'll lose one of your precious babies, my daughter" she hissed spitting on the paper. If it weren't for those meddling fools she would have had all the money she so rightfully deserved. "I'll make them all pay for ruining my life, the life I worked so hard to get. Don't relax just yet Li, you'll be struck with disaster soon enough" she laughed menacingly. She knew that the pills Sakura was taking had to use some kind of birth effect. And she would laugh when she gave birth to a retarded child.
"Oh shut up, just wait till they throw you into the state prison, you won't be laughing then" a woman mocked making all the others and the guards shout with laughter. Vanessa ignored their out break as she stared at the Newspaper, her eyes not one leaving the picture is Syaoran and Lin. The only problem she had right now was of Nick, she didn't know if he would keep his mouth shut.
Somewhere else in the station.
Nick watched as the FBI agents walked into the room making him gulp, his greed had gotten him in trouble again. The two men looked at him and smiled stiffly sitting down. "Now Sinclair, we'll make this easier on you, my name is Wong and you can either make me your best friend or your worst enemy" Wong said in a mild mannered tone. "This is my partner Chan"
"Listen you are going to be facing the same charges as Vanessa" Chan started resting back in the chair. "But if you tell us something we like then we might be able to get you off a couple of years early, it's all up to you". They waited a couple of seconds to let what they had said sink in; they could see that he would talk easily.
"As you know Vanessa cannot afford to pay for any top lawyer, so you'll be doing yourself a favor. Who would want to spend life in prison now a days" Nick didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison, no he wouldn't be able to bear that.
"If I tell you anything I want ten years taken off the time I'm sentenced," Nick finally said thinking of all the things Vanessa had said.
"Very well," Wong agreed smirking.
"Well I didn't know about the drugging when I agreed to play her fiancée and I was being paid big money for it" Nick started sweating. "At first I was only supposed to pay her daughters fiancée but then I got together with Vanessa"
"So you're saying, whilst you were playing Mrs. Li's fake fiancée you were sleeping with the mother?" Chan interrupted sitting up, Nick nodded wiping his forehead.
"Yeah, I was supposed to play father as well to her children. Anyways Sakura didn't like me, its like she knew I wasn't her real fiancée or husband. So Vanessa and I tried to push marriage on her, she said if I married her we would have total control over her money. And she would have married me because she wanted a family for her children"
"Go on this is getting more interested," Wong urged. And this could mean a promotion for them if they helped out the Li's.
"However before we were able to get married or force it on her, Li showed up and got Sakura to come here to see his daughter. We knew then that we couldn't wait any longer because he could ruin things. We had no choice but to let her go with him saying that we would arrive the following day. In truth she and I stayed back to plan the secret wedding, and how we would get rid of her. Vanessa no longer wanted to deal with Sakura or her children, because she was growing more and more independent. So she told me that a couple of months after we were married, Sakura and the babies would die in a tragic accident"
"I see, continue" Chan urged frowning, Nick nodded running his hand through his hair.
"It was then that I found out she was the one who was responsible for the first car accident. Sakura's driver wasn't drunk or in depression, he was drugged, that was the whole reason why Vanessa hadn't been there. That concert made many millions adding to Sakura's already incredible sum of money. So she had no use for the girl anymore. However it failed because Sakura wasn't in the car instead she was on her way to Hong Kong"
"If she wanted to get rid of her why didn't she just leave her alone when she left?" Wong asked wondering if this woman was sick in the head.
"She would have but Sakura gave all her money away, her workers were so rich that they wouldn't ever have to work again. And many charities had enough to last for many decades. She only left Vanessa two million out of that and it wasn't enough for her so she made this new plan" the man's mouths nearly dropped open. They wouldn't have guessed that she was the cause of all those other lives lost in the accident last year.
"So now we have more to put on that sorry bitch, she could be hanged for this" Chan spat in a disgusted tone. "How could a woman want to do that to her own child?"
"Easily she just doesn't know how to love, poor kid now she had no one cause her father's been dead from since she was a child" Wong inputted sorrowfully.
"I don't know if he's dead" Nick interrupted getting their attention.
"What do you mean?" Chan asked interested.
"Sakura isn't Kamisaka's daughter, she actually the child from a night one stand. Vanessa drugged her high school sweetheart before they graduated from college. He didn't love her and she couldn't take that so she drugged him and had sex thus getting Sakura but married Kamisaka who claimed the child and then two years later died of a tragic accident"
"You don't mean to tell us that she's also responsible for his death as well?"
"I don't know but after she told me that in the plane, I had started to plan my escape. She's a killer, I didn't want to take the chance that she was using me too" Nick gulped closing his eyes. They all sat in silence, Chan and Wong trying to take in all they had heard.
Sakura.
She watched Wei take her small suitcase out the door before she looked around her hospital room. She hated the fact that she wasn't allowed to walk out on her own, but instead in a wheelchair. Her check up with the Avalon went well, she was getting better, and her babies were fine for they had nothing missing. And now she was gaining the weight she was supposed to originally but hadn't because of the drug Vanessa had been giving her. "Are you sure I can't walk?" she asked again frowning, it disappeared turning into a smile when her husband smiled at her.
"No you can't, would you rather me carry you?" he teased bending down in front of her, Sakura winked touching his cheek with her finger tips.
"I wouldn't want you to pull your back" she replied making him chuckle. " I just want to get out of here" she replied, he nodded giving her a soft kiss on the lips.
"All right infant, Lin you ready?" he asked getting up; Lin nodded jumping off the bed. She walked in front of Sakura and opened the door for Syaoran to push the chair out and followed happily beside them. Even though Christmas was gone, this was her present from god. When the elevator doors opened on the first floor T was waiting for them.
"Master Li, I think you'll have to carry Li-san for outside is packed reporters" he said making Syaoran frown wondering how they had found out Sakura was leaving today.
"You can call me, Ying Fa T" Sakura said softly putting her feet on the floor then pushing herself up.
"Sakura" Syaoran warned making her look at him with laughing eyes.
"Please don't treat me like a child. I can still walk and I'm going to do so until I can't push my self up anymore" Sakura proclaimed stubbornly making him nod.
"Fine, come Lin we don't want to lose you in the crowd" he joked picking up his daughters who giggled nodding. When they stepped out the doors, their poor eyes were assaulted with what seemed light thousands of flashing. Syaoran held unto Sakura and Lin as T made a path for them to the awaiting limo.
"Can you believe how many there are?" Lin gasped when they got in the limo and pulled off.
"I don't even want to try and guess" Sakura sighed resting back. This would be the first time she would be seeing her home and she couldn't wait to see how it looked. If it were anything like the one in the country, it wouldn't be anything less the gorgeous.
"Mommy?" Lin said getting Sakura and Syaoran's attention; she smiled looking at her parents.
"Hai sweetie?"
"Um I was thinking that if you had a girl, maybe we could name her Mei Hua?" she suggested making Sakura smile.
"That's a wonderful name, I hadn't thought of any as yet" Sakura smiled liking the name. "What do you think?" she asked looking up at Syaoran who nodded in agreement.
"We'll have to decide on some boys names starting with Xiao" Syaoran stated making Sakura and Lin looked at him and laugh. "What's wrong with that?" he asked in mock hurt.
"Nothings wrong with it, we'll start thinking about it right away" Sakura soothed resting her head on her husbands chest. "Is Lin going to return to school or is she going to have home schooling until next year?"
"I think we'll let her do home schooling for the rest of the year" Syaoran answered making Lin nod eagerly in agreement.
"I wouldn't mind having home schooling for the rest of my school years" she beamed thinking that she would be with Sakura and the children all day.
"No, Lin trust me your going to want to go to school" Sakura said softly. "I knew that when I was younger I wanted nothing more then go to regular school and have many friends"
"Okay, father when can I start dancing?" Lin asked miss-having classes. She frowned knowing she wouldn't be in the spring recital because she had missed so many classes.
"I'll call your teacher and see if you can return to class next week" Syaoran stated, she nodded resting back. She knew that Sakura would love the house, and she couldn't wait till they arrived.
Sakura looked straight when the large iron gates opened, the large house before them was similar to the one in the country was equally beautiful. The front of the house was a manicured gardens, and assorted flowers and trees. Its first and second floor was lined with beautifully carved windows and the roof was dotted with chimneys. She knew that some from the size of it, it must have at least thirty or more bedrooms. What would they do with a house that size? "My Xiao Lang it's so big" she whispered making him laugh nodding.
"I know but it's the closest house I have to Mei Lin and the others, besides its my favorite out of all of them" he admitted knowing that Mei Lin and the others were all ready there waiting for them. "So are we going to fill it with children?" he teased making her blush prettily.
"Of course we are, since as you said that you have enough money for an incredibly large family" Sakura replied winking at him when the limo stopped. They waited until Wei opened the door before he got out helping her out after. Lin just jumped out inhaling the fresh scent of flowers. She looked up at the house where she would live for the rest of her life, well until she got married anyways.
"Come on let's go inside," she exclaimed rushing to the door, which opened revealing a middle age woman who smiled. Lin skidded to a halt looking at the woman who she hadn't seen before. "Hello?"
"Hello, miss Lin. I'm Rosa," the lady said making Lin nod when Sakura and Syaoran reached them. "Afternoon, Li-sans (Can you add an 's' to that?)" she said bowing her head respectfully opening the door wider. They nodded going in, Sakura and Lin looked around the house automatically liking it. If she thought she had loved the other house then she didn't know what she felt for this one, that obviously had a more lavish and expensive interior.
"It's about time you all arrived" Mei Lin's voice echoed through the large entrance. Sakura looked to the left wondering if that lead to the dining area and then to the right where she saw her best friend coming from one of the parlors.
"Oh please we're finally here and that's all that matters" Sakura laughed walking over to Mei Lin. She was finally starting to believe Avalon he told her shouldn't be able to walk soon. And her children were complaining because she hadn't eaten anything since lunch. "Hoe, this can't be happening," she whispered to her self-feeling the pressure on her bladder. "Mei Lin?"
"Hai Sakura is something wrong?" she inquired softly.
"No where's the nearest bathroom?" Sakura murmured sheepishly making Mei Lin nod in understanding.
"We'll be right back" she called leading Sakura away. Syaoran and Lin nodded going to meet everyone. Lin race over to Maria and Tommy smiling, she sat down with them to join their game.
"Paul, Gina and your sisters will arrive later today for the dinner, where's Ying Fa?" Yelen asked worriedly.
"She and Mei Lin will return soon, Renzo any news?" Renzo looked up at Syaoran and nodded getting up from the chair with Eriol. The three of them walked out of the room to talk in privacy. When he closed the door to his new office, Eriol was the first to speak.
"Her trial is in the second week of March," he confirmed sitting in one of the chairs in front of Syaoran's large desk.
"And we've also found out that Vanessa is also being linked to a lot more deaths. They aren't sure about the claims of her lover but some are starting to believe that he is right. And we have made a startling discovery" Renzo stated in a serious getting Syaoran's full attention.
"And what is that?" he asked raising a brow at them, Renzo shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
"That Sakura is not the child of Vanessa's husband as she claimed," he answered seeing disbelief flicker across Syaoran's eyes. "Oh yes I assure you that it's the truth, she is the child of her first love. Apparently she drugged him, then got pregnant and married Kamisaka-san and he claimed Sakura as his child"
"We have been told that his man's name is Kinomoto but that's all we know" Eriol inputted slowly. "How are you going to tell Sakura's this?" he inquired softly.
"I don't know but I'll have to soon. I want this to be kept a secret but Renzo, have some men start to look for this Kinomoto"
"Do you have any idea how common that name is?" Renzo asked in disbelief. "It could take us over a year to find this man and that's if he is still living" (I might be exaggerating but hey?! What can a girl do? I need it to be that long)
"Well then some men will be making extra cash, I don't care how long it takes. It'll be a good present for Sakura" he smiled making them smile even though this was going to be some work.
"By the way how is she?" Eriol spoke adjusting his glasses.
"She's fine, Avalon gave her vitamins and told me to make sure she eats a lot of healthy food. She's getting her appetite back," Syaoran answered getting off the front of his desk.
"That's good, you know now that you have a wife you can't make those silly excuses not to attend something," Eriol laughed making Syaoran sigh.
"Don't even mention that," he said tightly as they got up to return to the group.
Sakura.later
Like always, she stood in front of the large mirror to look at her rounded belly. She was only wearing her bra and underwear, as she moved her hand around her belly, laughing softly when one of her children kick. "Soon, soon be patient my children" she spoke lovingly looking up when Syaoran walked into the bathroom wearing slacks and no shirt. Soon it would be time for them to go down stairs and wait for the arrivals of their guests for dinner. "One moved" she beamed joyously looking at her husband through the mirror.
"Hmmm, that's wonderful maybe they'll move for me too" he smiled hugging her from behind as he rested his hands on her belly making her flush from the contact. "Why is the infant blushing?" he teased making her blush deepen.
"Don't tease me so," she giggled resting her head on his chest, Syaoran chuckled kissing her neck tenderly.
"I can't help but tease the woman I love," he murmured making her turn her head to look at him. She knew in her heart that she would never tire hearing him say those three simple words.
"I love you" she replied softly turning a little to kiss him, he placed his hand on her cheek as their lips met in a tender kiss. "And I'm going to give you strong healthy sons in a couple of months" she added when the kiss ended.
"I think they agree" Syaoran pointed out feeling movement, which made Sakura giggle shaking her head. "Oh my breathtakingly beautiful, witty and innocent wife" he breathed against her ear with such passion that Sakura's body shivered. "I'm going to make you the happiest woman alive" he continued. Sakura smiled sincerely looking at him through the mirror when his intense, vivid amber eyes filled with such passion and knowledge meet hers. A warm smile forming on his lips.

Hentai mean pervert.
Sakura is supposed to be due in the middle of April.
And this story is going to end, I won't be going into the next weekend at least I don't want it to. After this Sakura will be having her kids and you guys will finally know what their names are. I want to make the chapters a bit more exciting but Sakura's activities are really limited since as she's tugging around four watermelons.
Hehehe ne wayz on wit tha story.
"The Lord has finally answered my prayers, and gave me what I yearned--- love"
Lin's thoughts
"Well I think you were right about that, I want you to bathe me more often" Sakura giggled looking at her husbands frowning face. "Syaoran are you all right?" she asked touching his face worriedly. She was dressed in a homey floral mother dress with her hair up in a ponytail.
"Yeah, I'm fine" he replied sighing, which made Sakura's grin widen.
"Don't worry, we'll be bathing a lot together after I give birth" she commented sincerely making him smile. (Who's the Hentai now? LOLZ)
"I don't think that's a god idea," he said slyly looking her in the eyes.
"Oh?" she giggled when he rested his head on her shoulder, his hair tickling her neck.
"See what your mother does to me boys?" he spoke to her belly then placed his ear on it as if waiting for a response.
"How do you know they are boys?" she asked playing with his hair.
"Because we worked very hard for boys," he answered making her laugh shaking her head hopelessly at him. "But I know that we're having a girl, see we can't have all boys, we have to have at least one girl for Lin"
"You're horrible" Sakura got out through laughter when there was a knock on the door. They expected to see Tomoyo and the others but it was Dr. Avalon instead.
"I'm sorry, am I interrupting?" he asked closing the door behind him, Sakura nodded 'no' while Syaoran nodded 'yes' jokingly which earned him a slap.
"No not at all I thought you were my family bringing me my ice cream" Sakura said when Syaoran sat up. During the bathing session he had lost his white shirt as well only remaining in his under shirt.
"I told them to wait for a while since as I need to talk with you and Li," he explained placing his clipboard on the table. "Come now I must get you hooked back up" he added making Sakura frown. She looked at Syaoran but he nodded that she should listen to him.
"What is it that we need to talk about doctor? When I can leave here?" she asked watching him work.
"You must really want to leave us but yes after your test tomorrow you are free to leave," Avalon answered making Syaoran and Sakura sigh.
"That's wonderful, isn't it?" she beamed looking at Syaoran who nodded waiting for the Avalon to say 'but'
"Mr. Li's mother told me about the plan to have you move to the country until you give birth but I can't allow that" he continued in a soft voice making Sakura glace at Syaoran worriedly.
"Why not?" she asked resting back on the bed, Syaoran moved from the end to the other side and sat beside her.
"Because you might go into labor early and I'm afraid to say that there might be complications" he said gravely making Sakura squeeze Syaoran's hand that she was playing with.
"Complications?" she echoed not thinking she had heard him right, why would she be having complications?
"Yes, the drug that your mother was giving you could cause birth defects" he answered grimly.
"Syaoran he's lying right?" she said shaking her head as she looked at her husband but he looked down and nodded 'no'. "What kind of complications?"
"Well I'm not sure but it could be some mental or physical disability like sight, deafness or inability to walk"
"No" Sakura cried not believing that that would happen to her children. She wouldn't allow it, she wouldn't believe it, and he knew nothing. "No you just wait and see, my children are going to be healthy. They aren't going to have anything wrong with them, my boys are going to be as strong and as intelligent as their father" she shouted angrily tears forming in her eyes.
"Sakura, shhh" Syaoran whispered hugging her as she cried.
"Syao, tell him that our children are going to be just like you" she pleaded holding unto him tightly. "He's the devil, he's mean telling us that"
"Sakura calm, he isn't the devil he's just a doctor giving us advice. I don't believe that anything will be wrong with our children. They are going to be beautiful and talented just like you" he soothed looking at the Avalon apologetically. "And if anything were to happen it wouldn't matter because they are our children and we won't love them any less, right?" Sakura nodded begging god not to let Vanessa ruin her children's life.
"Right, they are ours, our babies. I want to go home now, I don't want to stay here please," she begged hoarsely.
"She can't leave, its not safe for her to leave so soon" Avalon objected sternly, taking out a sedative and a needle from his white coat.
"No I want to go home, please," she continued soaking his shirt. "My babies are going to be all right, there's no reason for me to stay here in your presence" she spat irritably turning to glare at him. "And if you think you are coming anywhere near me with that blasted needle you've got another thing coming" she screamed making them both wince from the high pitch, she wasn't a singer for nothing.
"Don't come any closer, please leave us" Syaoran advised to him. He nodded reluctantly and got his clipboard before leaving he made sure to write down that the patient was recovering at a fast rate.
"We're leaving here right now, I'm not staying in this place any longer" Sakura huffed getting off the bed, she walked over to her suitcase pulling out all the cords she was hooked up to in the process, and started to close it. Syaoran got off the bed listening to her rambling as he ran his hand through his hair.
"Infant" he called softly making her spin around giving him a deadly look but Syaoran was used to it.
"Nani?" she asked angrily, and at the fact that he wasn't helping her leave.
"You can't leave here," he stated as wiped more of her tears away.
"And why's that?" she got out wondering whose side he was on.
"Because if you leave without having your check up, you might be complicating the babies lives and yours," he answered making her stop. She hadn't thought about that, she didn't want to do anything that might harm them. She closed her eyes feeling sleepy even though the Avalon hadn't given her anything to induce sleep.
"I don't want to do that," she whispered opening her eyes as she walked into his arms.
"I know, first thing tomorrow we'll have your check ups and then we leave" he comforted making her nod against his chest exhaling.
"Why can't I have them now?" she inquired stubbornly making him laugh.
"Persistent are we?" Syaoran said looking down at her, she looked into his intense amber with pleading eyes. "We can't leave here now because I'm not taking you back to my place"
"Why? Don't you want me there?" she asked looking up at him with sad eyes.
"No I don't want you there" he repeated making her try to push out of his arms but he wouldn't let her. "I want us to go home, to our house. Even though you left I never had the workers stop on renovation the house, the only things that needs to be finished is nursery"
"But why did you continue?" she asked bewildered, he only shrugged in response.
"I don't know, you said you wanted to move in before Christmas so I had my men working over time. It was supposed to be finish two days after we got married and it was. Today I had my staff and sisters move yours and my clothing in" Sakura was speechless that he was doing all this, and also the kindness of his sisters. She'd never felt more honored "But I must confess that out of all of us, Lin's things are going to be the hardest to move. I had to assign at least six people for her room"
"I can imagine, you're wonderful" Sakura said feeling highly proud of her husband. She tiptoed and kissed him soundly on the lips making him smile.
"The best for you infant, but you must promise me you'll behave to poor Avalon" Syaoran laughed, she nodded smiling innocently but he knew better. "Good girl" he added when she yawned resting her head against his chest.
"Hmmm too much excitement" she mumbled wrapping her arms around his torso to keep upright. She yelped when he bent down, picked her up and carried her off to the bed. Instead of putting her on the bed, he cradled her like a child brushing her hair off her face.
"I think your right, rest now my love," he whispered kissing her on the forehead.
"I like love better then infant, I love you," she mumbled making him smile lovingly. "My little wolf," she murmured cuddling up to him as she fell into a peaceful slumber. After he rested her down, Yelen and the others walked in with an assortment of flowers to add to Sakura's growing flower garden.
"When she leaves here she'll be able put together her own garden. What did Avalon give her again?" Tomoyo asked looking at the sleeping Sakura.
"He didn't give her anything, she wouldn't let him come near her" Syaoran answered sighing.
"Did something happen?" Yelen inquired worriedly.
"No, he just told us that she might have some complications at birth" he answered solemnly.
"Complications?" Mei Lin echoed at the door holding Danny to her side.
"Yeah Avalon said that Sakura might have some complications at birth," Tomoyo said sitting down. This was getting more and more complicated and now this about her birth, poor Sakura and Syaoran.
"What kind?" Yelen interrupted looking at the door for Lin and Maria's entrance.
"Well he isn't sure, but he said that she might have the babies early. And there's a chance of some mental or physical disability" Syaoran confirmed making them all gasp eye wide. Then slowly their eyes trailed to Sakura's sleeping form with pity and worry.
"Oh my---
Next day.
"Hmmm---, let's see" a man hummed moving his hand, Lin and Syaoran's brow furrowed getting angry at the fact that he hadn't said anything yet. "Well-- -that's something" he continued making Lin glance worriedly at her father, her fingers crossed. They watched as he murmured something incoherent and wrote it down on this clipboard.
"What is Hmmm, Well that's something, and blah, blah, blah?" Lin asked getting impatient which made the man smile putting his instrument down. She was so much like her father that it wasn't funny but at least she had the beauty of her mother and he's meaning Sakura.
"Nothing's wrong my dear, everything is wonderful" he beamed getting up which made Lin and Syaoran smile, she winked back him when he winked at her.
"So she can go home?" Syaoran asked getting up, he glanced at his watch knowing that Sakura would be up soon then it would be time for her visit with the Avalon.
"Well I don't see why not but she still mustn't do anything too demanding. I can't explain how she's doing so much better when mere days ago she couldn't leave her bed" he continued raising his brow at Lin who smiled guiltily.
"Oh I won't do anything too demanding. I have to save all my energy for my sisters and brothers" Lin said in a matter of fact tone making the man laugh nodding in agreement.
Down town Hong Kong.
"Well it seems that your daughter is perfectly fine and so are her babies," a policeman said showing Vanessa the papers. She stared at it as if wanting to make it burst into flames. "And she's going to be living a wonderful life while your behind bars, don't worry I'll make sure to bring you one of her new CD's now and then" he mocked placing the paper inside her holding cell.
His laughter echoed through the halls as she walked slowly over to the papers. She looked at her broken fingernails and cringed feeling the hatred she had for Sakura boil in side her being. "If you survive then you'll lose one of your precious babies, my daughter" she hissed spitting on the paper. If it weren't for those meddling fools she would have had all the money she so rightfully deserved. "I'll make them all pay for ruining my life, the life I worked so hard to get. Don't relax just yet Li, you'll be struck with disaster soon enough" she laughed menacingly. She knew that the pills Sakura was taking had to use some kind of birth effect. And she would laugh when she gave birth to a retarded child.
"Oh shut up, just wait till they throw you into the state prison, you won't be laughing then" a woman mocked making all the others and the guards shout with laughter. Vanessa ignored their out break as she stared at the Newspaper, her eyes not one leaving the picture is Syaoran and Lin. The only problem she had right now was of Nick, she didn't know if he would keep his mouth shut.
Somewhere else in the station.
Nick watched as the FBI agents walked into the room making him gulp, his greed had gotten him in trouble again. The two men looked at him and smiled stiffly sitting down. "Now Sinclair, we'll make this easier on you, my name is Wong and you can either make me your best friend or your worst enemy" Wong said in a mild mannered tone. "This is my partner Chan"
"Listen you are going to be facing the same charges as Vanessa" Chan started resting back in the chair. "But if you tell us something we like then we might be able to get you off a couple of years early, it's all up to you". They waited a couple of seconds to let what they had said sink in; they could see that he would talk easily.
"As you know Vanessa cannot afford to pay for any top lawyer, so you'll be doing yourself a favor. Who would want to spend life in prison now a days" Nick didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison, no he wouldn't be able to bear that.
"If I tell you anything I want ten years taken off the time I'm sentenced," Nick finally said thinking of all the things Vanessa had said.
"Very well," Wong agreed smirking.
"Well I didn't know about the drugging when I agreed to play her fiancée and I was being paid big money for it" Nick started sweating. "At first I was only supposed to pay her daughters fiancée but then I got together with Vanessa"
"So you're saying, whilst you were playing Mrs. Li's fake fiancée you were sleeping with the mother?" Chan interrupted sitting up, Nick nodded wiping his forehead.
"Yeah, I was supposed to play father as well to her children. Anyways Sakura didn't like me, its like she knew I wasn't her real fiancée or husband. So Vanessa and I tried to push marriage on her, she said if I married her we would have total control over her money. And she would have married me because she wanted a family for her children"
"Go on this is getting more interested," Wong urged. And this could mean a promotion for them if they helped out the Li's.
"However before we were able to get married or force it on her, Li showed up and got Sakura to come here to see his daughter. We knew then that we couldn't wait any longer because he could ruin things. We had no choice but to let her go with him saying that we would arrive the following day. In truth she and I stayed back to plan the secret wedding, and how we would get rid of her. Vanessa no longer wanted to deal with Sakura or her children, because she was growing more and more independent. So she told me that a couple of months after we were married, Sakura and the babies would die in a tragic accident"
"I see, continue" Chan urged frowning, Nick nodded running his hand through his hair.
"It was then that I found out she was the one who was responsible for the first car accident. Sakura's driver wasn't drunk or in depression, he was drugged, that was the whole reason why Vanessa hadn't been there. That concert made many millions adding to Sakura's already incredible sum of money. So she had no use for the girl anymore. However it failed because Sakura wasn't in the car instead she was on her way to Hong Kong"
"If she wanted to get rid of her why didn't she just leave her alone when she left?" Wong asked wondering if this woman was sick in the head.
"She would have but Sakura gave all her money away, her workers were so rich that they wouldn't ever have to work again. And many charities had enough to last for many decades. She only left Vanessa two million out of that and it wasn't enough for her so she made this new plan" the man's mouths nearly dropped open. They wouldn't have guessed that she was the cause of all those other lives lost in the accident last year.
"So now we have more to put on that sorry bitch, she could be hanged for this" Chan spat in a disgusted tone. "How could a woman want to do that to her own child?"
"Easily she just doesn't know how to love, poor kid now she had no one cause her father's been dead from since she was a child" Wong inputted sorrowfully.
"I don't know if he's dead" Nick interrupted getting their attention.
"What do you mean?" Chan asked interested.
"Sakura isn't Kamisaka's daughter, she actually the child from a night one stand. Vanessa drugged her high school sweetheart before they graduated from college. He didn't love her and she couldn't take that so she drugged him and had sex thus getting Sakura but married Kamisaka who claimed the child and then two years later died of a tragic accident"
"You don't mean to tell us that she's also responsible for his death as well?"
"I don't know but after she told me that in the plane, I had started to plan my escape. She's a killer, I didn't want to take the chance that she was using me too" Nick gulped closing his eyes. They all sat in silence, Chan and Wong trying to take in all they had heard.
Sakura.
She watched Wei take her small suitcase out the door before she looked around her hospital room. She hated the fact that she wasn't allowed to walk out on her own, but instead in a wheelchair. Her check up with the Avalon went well, she was getting better, and her babies were fine for they had nothing missing. And now she was gaining the weight she was supposed to originally but hadn't because of the drug Vanessa had been giving her. "Are you sure I can't walk?" she asked again frowning, it disappeared turning into a smile when her husband smiled at her.
"No you can't, would you rather me carry you?" he teased bending down in front of her, Sakura winked touching his cheek with her finger tips.
"I wouldn't want you to pull your back" she replied making him chuckle. " I just want to get out of here" she replied, he nodded giving her a soft kiss on the lips.
"All right infant, Lin you ready?" he asked getting up; Lin nodded jumping off the bed. She walked in front of Sakura and opened the door for Syaoran to push the chair out and followed happily beside them. Even though Christmas was gone, this was her present from god. When the elevator doors opened on the first floor T was waiting for them.
"Master Li, I think you'll have to carry Li-san for outside is packed reporters" he said making Syaoran frown wondering how they had found out Sakura was leaving today.
"You can call me, Ying Fa T" Sakura said softly putting her feet on the floor then pushing herself up.
"Sakura" Syaoran warned making her look at him with laughing eyes.
"Please don't treat me like a child. I can still walk and I'm going to do so until I can't push my self up anymore" Sakura proclaimed stubbornly making him nod.
"Fine, come Lin we don't want to lose you in the crowd" he joked picking up his daughters who giggled nodding. When they stepped out the doors, their poor eyes were assaulted with what seemed light thousands of flashing. Syaoran held unto Sakura and Lin as T made a path for them to the awaiting limo.
"Can you believe how many there are?" Lin gasped when they got in the limo and pulled off.
"I don't even want to try and guess" Sakura sighed resting back. This would be the first time she would be seeing her home and she couldn't wait to see how it looked. If it were anything like the one in the country, it wouldn't be anything less the gorgeous.
"Mommy?" Lin said getting Sakura and Syaoran's attention; she smiled looking at her parents.
"Hai sweetie?"
"Um I was thinking that if you had a girl, maybe we could name her Mei Hua?" she suggested making Sakura smile.
"That's a wonderful name, I hadn't thought of any as yet" Sakura smiled liking the name. "What do you think?" she asked looking up at Syaoran who nodded in agreement.
"We'll have to decide on some boys names starting with Xiao" Syaoran stated making Sakura and Lin looked at him and laugh. "What's wrong with that?" he asked in mock hurt.
"Nothings wrong with it, we'll start thinking about it right away" Sakura soothed resting her head on her husbands chest. "Is Lin going to return to school or is she going to have home schooling until next year?"
"I think we'll let her do home schooling for the rest of the year" Syaoran answered making Lin nod eagerly in agreement.
"I wouldn't mind having home schooling for the rest of my school years" she beamed thinking that she would be with Sakura and the children all day.
"No, Lin trust me your going to want to go to school" Sakura said softly. "I knew that when I was younger I wanted nothing more then go to regular school and have many friends"
"Okay, father when can I start dancing?" Lin asked miss-having classes. She frowned knowing she wouldn't be in the spring recital because she had missed so many classes.
"I'll call your teacher and see if you can return to class next week" Syaoran stated, she nodded resting back. She knew that Sakura would love the house, and she couldn't wait till they arrived.
Sakura looked straight when the large iron gates opened, the large house before them was similar to the one in the country was equally beautiful. The front of the house was a manicured gardens, and assorted flowers and trees. Its first and second floor was lined with beautifully carved windows and the roof was dotted with chimneys. She knew that some from the size of it, it must have at least thirty or more bedrooms. What would they do with a house that size? "My Xiao Lang it's so big" she whispered making him laugh nodding.
"I know but it's the closest house I have to Mei Lin and the others, besides its my favorite out of all of them" he admitted knowing that Mei Lin and the others were all ready there waiting for them. "So are we going to fill it with children?" he teased making her blush prettily.
"Of course we are, since as you said that you have enough money for an incredibly large family" Sakura replied winking at him when the limo stopped. They waited until Wei opened the door before he got out helping her out after. Lin just jumped out inhaling the fresh scent of flowers. She looked up at the house where she would live for the rest of her life, well until she got married anyways.
"Come on let's go inside," she exclaimed rushing to the door, which opened revealing a middle age woman who smiled. Lin skidded to a halt looking at the woman who she hadn't seen before. "Hello?"
"Hello, miss Lin. I'm Rosa," the lady said making Lin nod when Sakura and Syaoran reached them. "Afternoon, Li-sans (Can you add an 's' to that?)" she said bowing her head respectfully opening the door wider. They nodded going in, Sakura and Lin looked around the house automatically liking it. If she thought she had loved the other house then she didn't know what she felt for this one, that obviously had a more lavish and expensive interior.
"It's about time you all arrived" Mei Lin's voice echoed through the large entrance. Sakura looked to the left wondering if that lead to the dining area and then to the right where she saw her best friend coming from one of the parlors.
"Oh please we're finally here and that's all that matters" Sakura laughed walking over to Mei Lin. She was finally starting to believe Avalon he told her shouldn't be able to walk soon. And her children were complaining because she hadn't eaten anything since lunch. "Hoe, this can't be happening," she whispered to her self-feeling the pressure on her bladder. "Mei Lin?"
"Hai Sakura is something wrong?" she inquired softly.
"No where's the nearest bathroom?" Sakura murmured sheepishly making Mei Lin nod in understanding.
"We'll be right back" she called leading Sakura away. Syaoran and Lin nodded going to meet everyone. Lin race over to Maria and Tommy smiling, she sat down with them to join their game.
"Paul, Gina and your sisters will arrive later today for the dinner, where's Ying Fa?" Yelen asked worriedly.
"She and Mei Lin will return soon, Renzo any news?" Renzo looked up at Syaoran and nodded getting up from the chair with Eriol. The three of them walked out of the room to talk in privacy. When he closed the door to his new office, Eriol was the first to speak.
"Her trial is in the second week of March," he confirmed sitting in one of the chairs in front of Syaoran's large desk.
"And we've also found out that Vanessa is also being linked to a lot more deaths. They aren't sure about the claims of her lover but some are starting to believe that he is right. And we have made a startling discovery" Renzo stated in a serious getting Syaoran's full attention.
"And what is that?" he asked raising a brow at them, Renzo shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
"That Sakura is not the child of Vanessa's husband as she claimed," he answered seeing disbelief flicker across Syaoran's eyes. "Oh yes I assure you that it's the truth, she is the child of her first love. Apparently she drugged him, then got pregnant and married Kamisaka-san and he claimed Sakura as his child"
"We have been told that his man's name is Kinomoto but that's all we know" Eriol inputted slowly. "How are you going to tell Sakura's this?" he inquired softly.
"I don't know but I'll have to soon. I want this to be kept a secret but Renzo, have some men start to look for this Kinomoto"
"Do you have any idea how common that name is?" Renzo asked in disbelief. "It could take us over a year to find this man and that's if he is still living" (I might be exaggerating but hey?! What can a girl do? I need it to be that long)
"Well then some men will be making extra cash, I don't care how long it takes. It'll be a good present for Sakura" he smiled making them smile even though this was going to be some work.
"By the way how is she?" Eriol spoke adjusting his glasses.
"She's fine, Avalon gave her vitamins and told me to make sure she eats a lot of healthy food. She's getting her appetite back," Syaoran answered getting off the front of his desk.
"That's good, you know now that you have a wife you can't make those silly excuses not to attend something," Eriol laughed making Syaoran sigh.
"Don't even mention that," he said tightly as they got up to return to the group.
Sakura.later
Like always, she stood in front of the large mirror to look at her rounded belly. She was only wearing her bra and underwear, as she moved her hand around her belly, laughing softly when one of her children kick. "Soon, soon be patient my children" she spoke lovingly looking up when Syaoran walked into the bathroom wearing slacks and no shirt. Soon it would be time for them to go down stairs and wait for the arrivals of their guests for dinner. "One moved" she beamed joyously looking at her husband through the mirror.
"Hmmm, that's wonderful maybe they'll move for me too" he smiled hugging her from behind as he rested his hands on her belly making her flush from the contact. "Why is the infant blushing?" he teased making her blush deepen.
"Don't tease me so," she giggled resting her head on his chest, Syaoran chuckled kissing her neck tenderly.
"I can't help but tease the woman I love," he murmured making her turn her head to look at him. She knew in her heart that she would never tire hearing him say those three simple words.
"I love you" she replied softly turning a little to kiss him, he placed his hand on her cheek as their lips met in a tender kiss. "And I'm going to give you strong healthy sons in a couple of months" she added when the kiss ended.
"I think they agree" Syaoran pointed out feeling movement, which made Sakura giggle shaking her head. "Oh my breathtakingly beautiful, witty and innocent wife" he breathed against her ear with such passion that Sakura's body shivered. "I'm going to make you the happiest woman alive" he continued. Sakura smiled sincerely looking at him through the mirror when his intense, vivid amber eyes filled with such passion and knowledge meet hers. A warm smile forming on his lips.
