Chap. 24: "Going into labor prematurely."
Author's note: It's time for the babies to be born, hey I want to thank all ya'll who took the time to review. Kinomoto Fujitaka will be Sakura's father that is when they find him, LOL I thought she should at least have one parent who loves her.
Um do I only use Li-sama for when they are address together or can I use it separately?
To everyone who gave me name suggestions thank you a bunch, and to Eclipse I hope don't mind that I'll be using your name. I like it a lot, please don't be made LOL I couldn't bear it.
"And I stared into her wide and innocent emerald eyes"
Syaoran's thoughts, when holding his daughter.
'I do not want to think of my poor mother or what her life will now be like. I know that I should hate her for trying so hard to hurt my unborn children but I cannot find the strength to summon up enough hatred, I must be foolish. That sort of emotion is not one I want my children to feel; I want them to only feel love.
She was convicted on more then six counts of murder and attempted murder after they linked her with the death of my poor father and workers. I would have never in my life thought I would come across such a low human being, how did she become like this? I do not know. We are now in the second week of March and everyone is getting more and more anxious as I am, according to the doctor I have at least a month left because of the time I got pregnant. My life couldn't be any better, I have a husband and daughter who love me, and soon we'll have children to care for. And now I finally have a real family to call my own, there's nothing more that I could possibly ask the lord for, he has blessed me enough' Sakura sighed as she stopped writing. A smile formed on her lips watching Lin's dance teacher show her how to move properly.
She took a drink of orange juice before placing the glass back on the small table. They were now in the music room and the sound of the piano filled it as Rosa the head helper played. She was a nice woman to be around as was all the other staff. She started to hum along with the piano as she began to write again 'I must confess that I'm a little scared about my pregnancy. I hope that all goes fine and my babies are perfect. I spoke to Ben and Lila last night, they said that the class misses me and can't wait to see me again. I miss not teaching them, but I wouldn't have been a good teacher now that I can barely move around on my own and I would constantly fall asleep in class. No that wouldn't be good' she laughed softly as she ended that entry in her journal.
"That's if for today Lin dear, you're a natural" her new teacher Miss Stacy beamed, she was probably two or three years older then Sakura.
"Thank you sensei" Lin giggled before running over to Sakura, she was a lot happier and healthier. Her had old spunk and love for life pushing through her old self; Sakura could look at her and know she would be a beauty.
"Rosa, why don't you help Lin clean up for lunch" Sakura said sitting up with much difficulty.
"Yes ma'am" Rosa smiled getting up. "Come young misses" she bowed to them before leaving Sakura and Stacy.
"Soon you'll be due" she commented, Sakura nodded trying to get up. Stacy extended her hand to help and Sakura gladly took it.
"Ah thanks, it feels like I'm carrying around four watermelons," Sakura laughed as they walked slowly to the front door. She wasn't even supposed to be moving around but she hated not moving.
"I don't think I want to know, I hated carrying around one watermelon" Stacy replied jokingly. "You have a wonderful and talented daughter Ying Fa- san, you must be very proud"
"I am" Sakura replied when Giles, the doorman, opened the door, a smile on his face. She smiled at the sweet old man; "I'll see you tomorrow"
"Ah yes tomorrow, good day" Stacy said waving bye as she walked out the door to her car. Sakura sighed closing her eyes momentarily holding her belly when Wei walked into the room.
"Mistress are you alright?" he asked worriedly walking up to her while Giles glanced at the nearest phone. Sakura opened her eyes and nodded to reassure him and when it didn't seem to work she added in a calm voice.
"Hai, Wei-san I'm fine, thank you. Just a little tired that's all"
"Why don't you go and rest. I'm heading out to pick up a few things I'll bring Lin with me" he suggested clearly seeing that she was tired.
"I suppose, a nap sounds good" she sighed agreeing; Wei offered him hand to follow her up the stairs.
Tomoyo.
"Do you see what she was saying now?" she asked Sam who nodded slowly a smile forming on his lips. "I'm not sure if we'll make it but she wants to do an album with us"
"I don't see why it wouldn't work. And we'll have over two years to plan this since as Sakura doesn't want to start back up until her children are bigger" Sam said smiling. He had moved to Hong Kong so he could be close to Sakura but he assigned a trusted friend in Tokyo to run her business and keep everything in order. People were sad that she wasn't going to perform a tour for her new album, which is now a hit, but they were all happy that she is fine and that her mother got what she deserved. And all her dancers were notified of the situation, they all agreed that they would be ready for when she was ready to start up again.
"Wonderful, I'm afraid Tomoyo and I will have to start writing again. I haven't written such in a long time it should be fun" Mei Lin sighed resting back with Danny on her lap. "Mommy's going to start to sing again" she spoke tickling him; he looked at her with cute eyes as he giggled.
"Well why don't we go and see Sakura? I want to make sure she's okay. The doctor said she should try to stay rested but I doubt she's doing any of that. At least she gained weight," Tomoyo said softly smiling.
"Yeah, Wei told me she moves around a bit but not much, he makes sure she gets enough rest too. Xiao Lang said this is the last day he'll be going to the office. He's going to have all the calls and visitors come to the house so he can keep an eye on her" Mei Lin inputted a smile forming on her lips as well. "Who would have thought he would change so much in one month"
"Sakura can do that to people that's why she's so special" Sam stated proudly, they nodded in agreement.
"I'll meet you at Sakura's, I have to go pick Tommy up from practice" Mei Lin said getting her bag.
"I have to pick Maria up then we'll head over to Sakura," Tomoyo added as they headed to the door.
Syaoran.later
He came to a stop in front of his home with a smile on his face, turning the ignition off he grabbed his briefcase and jacket before getting out. As usual the door opened before he reached there. "Afternoon Master Li" Giles bowed taking Syaoran's jacket and briefcase.
"Hey Giles, where's my wife and daughter?" he asked not losing his smile. He couldn't even recall when he smiled this much in his entire life but it felt good to have someone to come home to. If felt even better now that he had a family that loved him.
"The Mistress is taking a nap, she looked rather tired and miss Lin went out with Wei-san sir" Giles answered, Syaoran nodded heading for the stairs. Giles watched until he disappeared out of sight before going to put his briefcase in his master's office. He loved working for the Li's; they were wonderful people even though he had only been working with them for a short while. He hoped he would work with them until the end of his days, for work couldn't get any better.
Syaoran walked down the long hall towards their room at the very end. He stopped when he came to Lin's open room door, peaking in he could smell the sweet green apple scent of his daughter. "Hopefully the monster and Wei will be home soon," he murmured continuing on his way. Opening their room door he walked loosing his tie, he hated wearing one. The room was done in a French style; the furniture a rich mahogany color with detailed craving that matched the fireplace, which had two cream chairs with gold patterns and a small table in front of it. The curtains and bedspreads nice cream color with gold design sequins in it. And on the large bed he could make out the sleeping figure of his wife, he knew he couldn't wait until give gave birth to his children and when he would be able to sleep her wrapped tightly in his arms facing him. Walking over to it, he rested on her side, his elbow keeping him up as he gazed at her lovely face. "Precious, Ying Fa" he murmured caressing her face making her sigh.
He didn't know how long he stayed there looking at her but soon Sakura started to wake up. Slowly her emerald poles opened to see vivid amber gazing down at her, a smile form on her lips. "How long have you been watching me sleep?" she whispered feeling a little rested and much hungry.
"I don't know" he replied making her giggle. "Feeling better?" he asked brushing her hair off her face, Sakura nodded happily.
"How was your day?" she inquired like she always did when he got home.
"Stressful" he answered jokingly. "I couldn't concentrate because a certain person kept popping in my head. I had to restrain my self from calling every five minutes," Sakura laughed looking up at him skeptically.
"Is Lin home yet?"
"Nope, but I have a feeling we'll know when she and the pets get back" he answered knowingly. "Have you had lunch and taken your vitamins?"
"No I haven't had lunch don't you think it's a bit late for that? It's all ready after four" Sakura answered making him frown. "I'll take them now I was just really tired" she added leaving the part out about how she felt a tinge of pain.
"I'll have Rosa prepare something for you" Syaoran stated reaching for the phone next to the bed, Sakura sighed watching him press 0. "Yes Rosa, prepare a late meal for my wife". "Thank you"
"Are you upset with me?" she inquired making him smile, nodding no.
"No I'm not, I understand that you were tired," he answered making her smile, glad that she hadn't made his upset. Actually he hadn't gotten angry with her since they got home and she wanted to keep it that way. Sakura pulled him down for a kiss since she hadn't gotten one all day. It felt so good to kiss him that she almost forgot she was pregnant. Well almost, her children didn't like that thought.
"Good, so can I go downstairs to eat?" she asked in a pleading tone. He looked at her thoughtfully as if trying to decide on the answer.
"I don't know, the doctor said to make sure you stayed off your feet" he responded making her sigh looking down. Then she looked up at him with an evil smile on her face.
"Surely my strong, brave, heroic, incredibly handsome husband could carry me?" she said in a seductive voice trailing her finger across his chin.
"All right infant" he sighed making her brighten.
"Oh your the best, my little wolf" she beamed raising her hands when Syaoran pulled the cover back. "Don't drop me," she warned when he picked her up.
"The only thing you should worry about is me putting my poor back out" he commented dryly making her laugh as she opened the door for them. "I'm an old man you know"
"Hoe? Who said such a thing?" she laughed looking as if she was thinking of a person.
"I don't know. I think it was a certain infant with honey brown locks and innocent emerald eyes that could seduce a saint," he answered looking down at her, raising a brow he continued. "She even said my teeth are fake, but of course you know they aren't"
"I certainly do" Sakura whispered seductively her arms wrapped around his neck when they came to the stairs. "Well actually I'm not so sure anymore maybe I need to have my memory refreshed," she added winking at him. Syaoran chuckled coming to a step in the middle of the steps.
"That's a not bad idea infant, since as you were the one who said that" he spoke lightheartedly making Sakura laugh. He lowered his lips and brushed them softly against hers making Sakura moan, her lips parted telling him she wanted more and he complied by deepening the kiss. However before they could get lost in their embrace laughing from below them made them come to a halt. They both looked down to see Tomoyo, Mei Lin, Sam and the kids standing at the door.
"Ah get a room" Mei Lin joked laughing which made Sakura blush turning her face away as she laugh.
"That's so Kawaii" Tomoyo, Lin and Maria beamed at the same time making everyone sweat drop. They learned it from hearing Tomoyo say it so much over the last few months.
"Look at what you've done to my daughter" Syaoran joked as he descended the stairs, Tomoyo looked at him with mock hurt.
"I did no such thing, they just know that you and Ying Fa are Kawaii. And I got it on tape, HOHOHOHOH" she continued laughing like she was crazy (I haven't used that in so long)
"Oh my, it seems that I'll have to make more snacks," Risa gasped walking into the hall. "Should I place this in the parlor, master Li?" she asked holding the try.
"Yes," Syaoran answered simply. They all followed her into the large parlor where Syaoran placed Sakura on the softest sofa.
"I bet you enjoyed that," Tomoyo cooed, Sakura nodded smiling brightly. She would never ever tire of feeling his kisses it was simply impossible.
"What have you guys been up today?" Sakura inquired eating slowly, looking at Tomoyo and Mei Lin.
"We were talking with Sam" Mei Lin answered placing Danny on the floor. "It seems that your album sales have boosted tremendously. Why someone even asked if they could write a movie or a book on this whole experience" she continued getting Syaoran's attention. "Of course that person was told that it was absolutely out of the question"
"That's good I don't think I want my life to be played on TV" Sakura stated glancing at her husband who smiled lovingly.
"Exactly, we also went over the songs you wrote and he thinks that our return to the music industry would be great but that project won't start until you're ready" Tomoyo confirmed brushing her hair off her face. "Knowing you, you'll probably fall in love with being a mother and totally forget about being a singer" she commented making everyone laugh. Lin, Maria and Tommy went to the garden to have fun and not listen to such boring business talk.
"OH Xiao Lang, you don't have to go to that function tonight. Eriol and Renzo said they would attend in your place since as your supposed to be with your lovely wife during this demanding time" Mei Lin said winking at Sakura who was busily eating ice cream (gotta get your calcium)
"Wonderful" Syaoran sighed he didn't even want to leave Sakura's side during the day. He looked at his wife only to see her wince in pain, worriedly he ask, "Sakura are you okay?" she looked at him hearing her real name and only smiled nodding but winced again when another cut her.
"Yeah, I'm fine just a little tinge of pain. It's nothing" she assured softly. "Syaoran, really it's nothing," she continued seeing him walk to the phone. But he didn't listen as he picked up the phone and dialed the doctor's emergency number.
Later.
She lay in bed frowning up at her husband, whom was currently avoiding eye contact as the doctor finished the check up. Mei Lin and Tomoyo were also present in the room; they had been in here so long that the sun was now going down. After Syaoran had called the doctor he quickly rushed her up the stairs and placed her in bed. "Well nothing seems wrong to me" the man sighed putting his things away.
"I told him that nothing was wrong," Sakura frowned folding her arms like a stubborn child would this made the doctor laugh.
"He was only worried my dear and in your special condition he has every right to be" Avalon clarified. "Now you must always stay in bed and get your rest. We can't have you walking around this large house until after you give birth," he explained making her nod sadly. He knew that Li loved his wife dearly and his theory had been proven a lot of times besides which man would pay for much money for a specialist like him.
"Come doctor I'll show you out" Syaoran offered leaving Mei Lin and Tomoyo with Sakura.
"Oh come on smile," Mei Lin laughed getting playful glare from Sakura who folded her arms.
"Why can't they understand that I'm perfectly capable of walking around until my water breaks?" she asked gloomily placing her hands on her large belly.
"OH please you can't even see your feet much less walk around on your own for a long time" Tomoyo pointed out. And indeed Sakura couldn't even see her feet but she wasn't going to admit that.
"We'll call you later okay, Renzo wants me to go with him tonight" Mei Lin sighed sadly. "He's going to have me dancing all night you just watch"
"I wish I could be dancing instead of laying in bed doing absolutely nothing"
"Sakura nothing exciting is going to happen we'll come by tomorrow afternoon okay?"
"Oh all right, till tomorrow" Sakura nodded when they both gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving her. "Well I guess it's just the four of us until your father returns boys" she sighed talking to her belly..
A week later.(I know I'm jumping time but hey!!!!!!!!)
Sakura shifted uncomfortably in bed feeling as if she were in warm water, slowly her eyes opened to see that she was in bed. She near screamed however when a jagged pain erupted through whole being. Reaching over she felt for her husband but he wasn't there. 'oh why can't he ever stay in bed' she thought biting her lower lip she pushed the heavy blankets back when her eyes saw that the sheets were soak and there was traces of blood. She started to panic thinking something was terribly wrong. "Xiao Lang" she yelled getting out of bed to reach for the phone was she was hit by another horrible pain making her cry out holding her belly. She sank to the floor leaning up against bed for support as she pressed '0'.
"Hello?" came Rosa's cheery voice.
"Rosa," Sakura gasped closing her eyes.
"Mistress, are you all right?" Rosa asked worriedly getting the attention of the other helpers present in the room.
"No call my husband I think I'm labor" Sakura nearly screamed making the woman cringe. "Hurry"
"What's the matter?" Wei asked from behind Rosa who looked pale.
"Call the master, Ying Fa-san is in labor" she answered before she even turned around Wei in his old age was all ready running towards Syaoran's office. While one of the other helpers called an ambulance, they knew she wasn't due for two or three weeks more. "I'll go and get her suitcase"
Sakura.
She looked up teary eyed when Syaoran burst into the room in panic, not seeing her on the bed his eyes darted around the room since as the large bed hid her. "I'm over here," she whispered painfully sweating.
"Oh god are you all right?" he asked kneeling beside her as his hand wiped her soaked hair off her face. Not waiting for an answer he quickly got the blanket she had on the sofa in their room and wrapped it around her thin white night gown. He picked her up in his arms before heading towards the stairs.
"It hurts," she cried burying her head in his white shirt soaking it with hot tears. Syaoran's whole body was rigged, worry clearly written on his face 'please lord don't make anything go wrong' he thought heading down the stairs where mostly all the helpers were present.
He thanked god that Lin was still asleep. "Shhhh it's going to be okay, infant," he whispered soothingly not knowing if he was trying to reassure her or himself at the moment. "Is it here?"
"No, I'll drive because it'll take a while before they arrive" Wei offered already holding the car keys. Syaoran nodded knowing that they would get there quicker driving rather than waiting for the stupid ambulance.
"Here Wei-san, I'll call Li-san" Rosa said handing Wei Sakura's suitcase while Giles's opened the limo door for Syaoran. Wei nodded and ran out the door to the driver's side. Everyone in the house watched as the limo disappeared around the corner all praying that everything would be all right.
Tomoyo.
Eriol's eyes opened slowly from the ringing of the telephone, he glanced at the clock only to see that it was fifteen after six (remember that Syaoran wakes up really early). He groaned wondering who would be calling at this hour, untangling him self from Tomoyo he reached for the phone. "Hello?"
"Eriol it's me Renzo, Sakura went into labor early this morning. She's in critical condition because she's started to bleed" Renzo said in an urgent voice making Eriol snap awake.
"How is she now?" he asked sitting up in bed making Tomoyo slowly awake.
"Well from what Yelen said they're trying to make her hold off having the babies until they run a couple of tests. She must be in real pain," Renzo answered rushing out the house with Mei Lin. "Hey I have to go before Mei Lin decides to drive"
"All right we'll meet you all there" Eriol said hanging up with a frown on his face, this was not good.
"What's the matter?" Tomoyo asked worriedly still half a sleep.
"Sakura's went into labor early this morning" he answered getting out of the bed, Tomoyo instantly snapped awake rushing from under the covers.
"Is she all right?" she asked trying to find some clothes to throw on like Eriol. They accidentally picked up each other's shirts trying to put them on, laughing nervously they switched.
"They're trying to make her hold off from giving birth until they run a couple of tests. They're worried about her giving premature birth in her case" Eriol answered watching Tomoyo stumble into the bathroom before him.
Maria's eyes opened feeling herself being wrapped up "papa?" she whispered sleepily. Eriol smiled down at his daughter not even having time to shave.
"Hai sweetie" he smiled picking her up.
"Eriol, let's get going" Tomoyo shouted from down stairs. Maria was in a daze as her parents rushed out of the house with her.
Hospital.
Everyone would look at the door hearing Sakura's sudden cries from the pain. They were all pacing and those who weren't were squeezing the life out of something. "Is mother going to be all right?" Lin asked Yelen worriedly looking at the door.
"I'm sure," Yelen whispered holding her granddaughter close. She hoped she was right in that aspect 'please don't let anything go wrong'
They all looked down the hall from when Tomoyo and Eriol who was carrying a bundle of something came rushing down the hall. "Any news?" Tomoyo asked anxiously
"Nothing all we've been hearing is her cry from the pain" Fiemie answered when they noticed that the bundle was Maria who was still snoring. They made room for Tomoyo so she could sit but Eriol held unto Maria for safely reasons.
Inside the room.
Syaoran was in a tight position when they arrived at the hospital, Sakura wouldn't allow him to leave so he was the one who had to change her. And now he was sitting up against the bed with her lying between his legs. He winced when her gripped on his hand tightened but what got to him was her whimpering from the pain. "Xiao Lang, it hurts," she whispered as he wiped her face with a cool washcloth.
"Just a little longer" a nurse spoke smiling which earned her a glare from Sakura.
"Longer! Do you know how it feels?" she screamed making everyone wince, Syaoran looked at the nurse apologetically. "CALL THE DAMN DOCTOR AND TELL HIM THAT I'M READY TO HAVE MY BABIES," she continued vehemently making the poor nurse scramble out of the room. A moment later Tomoyo walked in with her video camera but she wasn't taping as yet since as there were no doctors currently in the delivery room.
"How are you baby?" she whispered touching Sakura's face making her smile faintly.
"In pain, I don't think they want to stay in there any longer then I want them to" Sakura answered making Tomoyo laugh nodding in agreement.
"Soon, just give the doctor a few more minutes" Tomoyo assured when Mei Lin poked her head through the door. Tomoyo then turned the camcorder on, smiling at Sakura and Syaoran's face.
"Mei Lin" Sakura sighed loving her best friends for wanting to cheer her up in such a time.
"I just got the nurse to call the doctor so he should be here in no time to fix you up" Mei Lin stated grinning, Sakura nodded great fully. "The only reason why your feeling pain is because they are Xiao Lang's brats" she continued making Sakura laugh momentarily forgetting about the pain, this comment however earned her a glare from Syaoran.
Sakura inhaled deeply feeling that something wasn't right, she cried feeling the baby coming. "I can't wait any longer, they're coming," she wailed making their eyes widen.
"What do you mean?" Mei Lin asked blankly, hoping it wasn't what she was saying.
"I'm saying that I'm giving birth, aieeeeee!" Sakura answered gritting her teeth when Tomoyo focused the camcorder. "Tomoyo this isn't the time, call the stupid doctor"
"But you can't have them now" a nurse exclaimed foolishly making Sakura glower at her.
"Tell them that," she screamed squeezing Syaoran's hand, the nurse and everyone winced. She took a look and indeed saw that they babies were coming.
"Tell the doctors to hurry I can see the baby head" the nurse ordered. "Don't push yet baby, not yet," she ordered looking firmly at Sakura who nodded closing her eyes tightly.
"Hurry" Syaoran bit out worriedly when the two doctors walked into the room with special machines in tow. He didn't at all like the look of that, he held unto his wife's hand tightly Mei Lin caressing the other.
"Okay now, Mrs. Li give us a nice strong push," Avalon finally ordered. Sakura took a deep breath and gave it all her might making the baby slip right out (That's what happened to my brother, he flew out and my father almost didn't catch him since as there was no doctor in the room) surprising the doctor he looked down at the baby. He handed it to the nurse waiting and she carried him to a table not even bothering to tell Sakura or Syaoran what the sex was. A moment later a loud 'whaaaa' echoed through the room making Sakura and Syaoran sigh.
"Sakura it's a boy" Tomoyo helped out taping the baby before turning back to Sakura ( I don't think this would be happening a real delivery room but hey).
"Okay now, its time for number two" Avalon smiled thanking god that the first was okay. Sakura was breathing heavily all ready feeling exhausted but she nodded determinedly. "Good girl now give me a another strong push" he spoke
"Argh" she gasped pushing, this one wasn't as easy as his brother but he came soon enough.
"It's another healthy boy" he smiled when the baby's cry joined his brothers making everyone smile. "Two more to go and your home free" he said but Sakura didn't know if she would have enough strength.
"No" she whispered shaking her head slowly. She couldn't do it; she just didn't have enough strength.
"Yes, yes infant you have to. Come on," Syaoran whispered trying to encourage her. "Think about the beautiful boy or girl that wants to come into this world?" She gave another strong push listening to Syaoran's loving words making him wince feeling pain shot through his hand.
"Girl? Yes a girl" the doctor laughed hearing the baby's strong wails as he handed the small girl to the nurse.
"You're doing wonderful," Syaoran whispered lovingly wiping Sakura's forehead before he kissed her temple. Sakura nodded happy knowing that her babies were okay now all she had to do was deliver her last child and all would be all right. "One more to go, infant"
"This infant is going to kill you for making me go through all this pain, next time around your having the children" Sakura wailed tightly closing her eyes, making him cringe.
"Okay now, this is it" Avalon spoke winking at Sakura who nodded breathing heavily. 'Just one more' she thought taking a deep breath before giving it her all feeling fatigue. "Good" he said seeing the baby come but he lost his smile.
"What's the matter?" Syaoran asked seeing his face. He looked up before he walked away with the baby in his arms.
"What's the matter with my baby?" Sakura yelled not hearing he or she cry that wasn't a good sign. "Xiao Lang what's wrong with our baby?" she cried holding his hand.
"I don't know," he whispered helplessly watching the two doctors and two nurse surrounded his child working quickly.
"She's not breathing" Avalon whispered trying to get the baby to start breathing while Sakura was crying her eyes out. Tomoyo and Mei Lin stood on the side watching hopelessly because they knew there was nothing they could do to help.
Syaoran, he that he had never in his entire life felt this useless before as he sat there holding his wife's hand not knowing if his son or daughter was alive or dead. He felt his throat tighten and his eyes burn but he held back the tears that were threatening to come because he knew he had to be strong for Sakura. "My baby" she choked her vision blurred by tears as she held unto Syaoran's hand. She nearly died when the sound her child's vocal cords erupted in the room making Tomoyo and Mei Lin burst into tears hugging each other.
"Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Li, you have two boys and two girls, all beautiful and healthy" the doctor smiled carrying the small girl wrapped in blanket over to them while the nurses brought over the others.
Sakura burst into a new set of tears holding her two boys; Mei Lin held one of the girls. And Syaoran held the other who looked up at him with gorgeous emeralds filled with curiosity and innocence making him smiles lovingly. She was so tiny, and to think that she almost hadn't made it. "They have your eyes" he commented to his wife, even though he couldn't see her face he knew she was smiling.
"And your strength" Sakura laughed while Tomoyo happily taped. They all looked at the door when they heard yelling and knew that their family had heard. Reluctantly they gave the babies back to the nurses so they and Sakura could be cleaned up. A nurse helped Sakura sit up so Syaoran could get out from behind her, when he got out he smiled at her lovely face and kissed her soundly, a kiss which Sakura returned with all her emotion.
"I love you so much infant," he whispered looking into her heavy lidded eyes. Sakura smiled dazedly feeling exhausted and she ached all over.
"I love you too my arrogant beast" she smiled when he kissed her one last time before he and the others had to leave the room.
When they walked out of the room he was engulfed a tight hugs from his crying sisters and mother while Eriol, Renzo and Wei shook his hand making his smile. "Father" Lin exclaimed hugging him tightly around the neck, Syaoran hugged her back chuckling. "This is so wonderful" she giggled kissing him on the cheek. "When can we see Ying Fa and the babies?" she babbled making everyone laugh.
"Soon," he answered smiling at his daughter.
"How is she?" Yelen asked touching her son's shoulder with a concerned expression.
"She's fine, but we a little problem with one of the girls. She wasn't breathing but the doctors finally got her breathing," he answered sighing; he was currently the most blessed husband and father on the entire earth at the moment. Yelen smiled nodding as they all waited patiently to see Sakura, well she wouldn't have called it patience.
Sakura.
She looked up when her family walked into the room, her husband glowing with unspoken pride. "Kaa-san" Lin exclaimed running up to Sakura. She climbed on the chair and hugged Sakura as best as she could, making Sakura laugh.
"Oh Lin" she sighed hugging her daughter tightly.
"How do you feel Ying Fa?" Xiefia asked softly.
"I feel lighter" Sakura answered making them burst in laughter looking at her hopelessly, when Syaoran kissed her temple lovingly.
They all looked at the door when the doctor and four nurses came in with the babies; thank god it was a large room. "I'm afraid to say that you will all have to leave soon so Mrs. Li can get some rest," he stated making them frown. Tomoyo hearing this hurriedly went over to the babies and started to tape smiling goofily.
"When can I leave?" Sakura asked hating hospitals this made the Avalon smile. He would remain here and continue to check up on her and Quads for a couple of months.
"In two days, since as we have to run some more tests and make sure that everything is all right" he answered, making Sakura and Syaoran nod.
"Can I hold my babies?" Sakura asked softly. He nodded to the nurse who one by one picked up the small infants who were not sleeping. They handed the two boys to Sakura, the other to Yelen and the girl to Syaoran.
"Come on guys tell us their names" Mei Lin urged hugging Renzo. Who was holding Danny, Tommy was at home with his nanny. Sakura looked up her eyes winkling as she held her children one by one, touching their head of brown her and staring into their wide emerald eyes with love.
"Well, he is Rui Lin" Syaoran proclaimed making the nurse write the name on a wristband before putting it on his tiny wrist. "And she's Mei Hua" he continued looking at his daughter that was in Yelen arms; she was the one that wasn't breaking. Yelen was glowing with pride like she always did at the birth of a grandchild.
"He's Xiao Hu meaning little fox and she's Mei Ren" Sakura spoke proudly watching the nurses do the same so they didn't get mixed up. Xiao Hu looked up at his mother and yawned before his eyes slowly dropped like the others making everyone sigh looking at the now proud family.
"We are going to have a huge celebration in a month welcoming them into this wonderful world. Oh they are so KAWAII" Tomoyo exclaimed making everyone look at her thankfully the sleeping babies didn't wake up. "Hehehe sorry" she apologized making everyone sweat drop.
"Come on everyone we should let Ying Fa get some rest" Yelen said watching Lin touched her baby sister's tiny hand and smiled lovingly. She knew now that they would all be happy, they all nodded saying their good-byes for now. Lin knew that they wanted some time alone so she left too but Sakura made her promised to come back, nodding she ran out of room with Maria.
"Aren't they heavenly?" she whispered looking the tiny sleeping figures. Syaoran looked up from caressing Mei Ren's head and smiled brightly nodding.
"They are," he answered walking over to her. "And so are you my precious infant" he continued getting a playful slap from Sakura. He rested his forehead on hers looking deeply into her emeralds eyes as his lips brush against her. "I love you and you've made me the happiest man alive" Sakura's heart swelled hearing his words as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I love you too and you've made me that happiest ever" she replies before they deepened the kiss, getting lost in each other for they had no worries. That's is until they brought the quads home.
Tokyo Women State prison.
All the females were sitting the TV room some watching TV while others just talked. Vanessa was sitting by herself reading at book, she looked awful since as hadn't been pampered in ages. "Hey yo, change the station to the news. I think there is something Vanessa would like to see" a woman shouted running into the room. Everyone turned to the TV when the station was turned.
"About one hour age Cherry gave birth to her strong and beautiful quadruplets with out any complications. All your love goes out to the now happy family," a news reporter said outside the hospital making Vanessa glower at it. Everyone burst out laughing pointing at her.
"Girl's congratulate the newest grandmother of four," a woman shouted making everyone laugh even harder.

"And I stared into her wide and innocent emerald eyes"
Syaoran's thoughts, when holding his daughter.
'I do not want to think of my poor mother or what her life will now be like. I know that I should hate her for trying so hard to hurt my unborn children but I cannot find the strength to summon up enough hatred, I must be foolish. That sort of emotion is not one I want my children to feel; I want them to only feel love.
She was convicted on more then six counts of murder and attempted murder after they linked her with the death of my poor father and workers. I would have never in my life thought I would come across such a low human being, how did she become like this? I do not know. We are now in the second week of March and everyone is getting more and more anxious as I am, according to the doctor I have at least a month left because of the time I got pregnant. My life couldn't be any better, I have a husband and daughter who love me, and soon we'll have children to care for. And now I finally have a real family to call my own, there's nothing more that I could possibly ask the lord for, he has blessed me enough' Sakura sighed as she stopped writing. A smile formed on her lips watching Lin's dance teacher show her how to move properly.
She took a drink of orange juice before placing the glass back on the small table. They were now in the music room and the sound of the piano filled it as Rosa the head helper played. She was a nice woman to be around as was all the other staff. She started to hum along with the piano as she began to write again 'I must confess that I'm a little scared about my pregnancy. I hope that all goes fine and my babies are perfect. I spoke to Ben and Lila last night, they said that the class misses me and can't wait to see me again. I miss not teaching them, but I wouldn't have been a good teacher now that I can barely move around on my own and I would constantly fall asleep in class. No that wouldn't be good' she laughed softly as she ended that entry in her journal.
"That's if for today Lin dear, you're a natural" her new teacher Miss Stacy beamed, she was probably two or three years older then Sakura.
"Thank you sensei" Lin giggled before running over to Sakura, she was a lot happier and healthier. Her had old spunk and love for life pushing through her old self; Sakura could look at her and know she would be a beauty.
"Rosa, why don't you help Lin clean up for lunch" Sakura said sitting up with much difficulty.
"Yes ma'am" Rosa smiled getting up. "Come young misses" she bowed to them before leaving Sakura and Stacy.
"Soon you'll be due" she commented, Sakura nodded trying to get up. Stacy extended her hand to help and Sakura gladly took it.
"Ah thanks, it feels like I'm carrying around four watermelons," Sakura laughed as they walked slowly to the front door. She wasn't even supposed to be moving around but she hated not moving.
"I don't think I want to know, I hated carrying around one watermelon" Stacy replied jokingly. "You have a wonderful and talented daughter Ying Fa- san, you must be very proud"
"I am" Sakura replied when Giles, the doorman, opened the door, a smile on his face. She smiled at the sweet old man; "I'll see you tomorrow"
"Ah yes tomorrow, good day" Stacy said waving bye as she walked out the door to her car. Sakura sighed closing her eyes momentarily holding her belly when Wei walked into the room.
"Mistress are you alright?" he asked worriedly walking up to her while Giles glanced at the nearest phone. Sakura opened her eyes and nodded to reassure him and when it didn't seem to work she added in a calm voice.
"Hai, Wei-san I'm fine, thank you. Just a little tired that's all"
"Why don't you go and rest. I'm heading out to pick up a few things I'll bring Lin with me" he suggested clearly seeing that she was tired.
"I suppose, a nap sounds good" she sighed agreeing; Wei offered him hand to follow her up the stairs.
Tomoyo.
"Do you see what she was saying now?" she asked Sam who nodded slowly a smile forming on his lips. "I'm not sure if we'll make it but she wants to do an album with us"
"I don't see why it wouldn't work. And we'll have over two years to plan this since as Sakura doesn't want to start back up until her children are bigger" Sam said smiling. He had moved to Hong Kong so he could be close to Sakura but he assigned a trusted friend in Tokyo to run her business and keep everything in order. People were sad that she wasn't going to perform a tour for her new album, which is now a hit, but they were all happy that she is fine and that her mother got what she deserved. And all her dancers were notified of the situation, they all agreed that they would be ready for when she was ready to start up again.
"Wonderful, I'm afraid Tomoyo and I will have to start writing again. I haven't written such in a long time it should be fun" Mei Lin sighed resting back with Danny on her lap. "Mommy's going to start to sing again" she spoke tickling him; he looked at her with cute eyes as he giggled.
"Well why don't we go and see Sakura? I want to make sure she's okay. The doctor said she should try to stay rested but I doubt she's doing any of that. At least she gained weight," Tomoyo said softly smiling.
"Yeah, Wei told me she moves around a bit but not much, he makes sure she gets enough rest too. Xiao Lang said this is the last day he'll be going to the office. He's going to have all the calls and visitors come to the house so he can keep an eye on her" Mei Lin inputted a smile forming on her lips as well. "Who would have thought he would change so much in one month"
"Sakura can do that to people that's why she's so special" Sam stated proudly, they nodded in agreement.
"I'll meet you at Sakura's, I have to go pick Tommy up from practice" Mei Lin said getting her bag.
"I have to pick Maria up then we'll head over to Sakura," Tomoyo added as they headed to the door.
Syaoran.later
He came to a stop in front of his home with a smile on his face, turning the ignition off he grabbed his briefcase and jacket before getting out. As usual the door opened before he reached there. "Afternoon Master Li" Giles bowed taking Syaoran's jacket and briefcase.
"Hey Giles, where's my wife and daughter?" he asked not losing his smile. He couldn't even recall when he smiled this much in his entire life but it felt good to have someone to come home to. If felt even better now that he had a family that loved him.
"The Mistress is taking a nap, she looked rather tired and miss Lin went out with Wei-san sir" Giles answered, Syaoran nodded heading for the stairs. Giles watched until he disappeared out of sight before going to put his briefcase in his master's office. He loved working for the Li's; they were wonderful people even though he had only been working with them for a short while. He hoped he would work with them until the end of his days, for work couldn't get any better.
Syaoran walked down the long hall towards their room at the very end. He stopped when he came to Lin's open room door, peaking in he could smell the sweet green apple scent of his daughter. "Hopefully the monster and Wei will be home soon," he murmured continuing on his way. Opening their room door he walked loosing his tie, he hated wearing one. The room was done in a French style; the furniture a rich mahogany color with detailed craving that matched the fireplace, which had two cream chairs with gold patterns and a small table in front of it. The curtains and bedspreads nice cream color with gold design sequins in it. And on the large bed he could make out the sleeping figure of his wife, he knew he couldn't wait until give gave birth to his children and when he would be able to sleep her wrapped tightly in his arms facing him. Walking over to it, he rested on her side, his elbow keeping him up as he gazed at her lovely face. "Precious, Ying Fa" he murmured caressing her face making her sigh.
He didn't know how long he stayed there looking at her but soon Sakura started to wake up. Slowly her emerald poles opened to see vivid amber gazing down at her, a smile form on her lips. "How long have you been watching me sleep?" she whispered feeling a little rested and much hungry.
"I don't know" he replied making her giggle. "Feeling better?" he asked brushing her hair off her face, Sakura nodded happily.
"How was your day?" she inquired like she always did when he got home.
"Stressful" he answered jokingly. "I couldn't concentrate because a certain person kept popping in my head. I had to restrain my self from calling every five minutes," Sakura laughed looking up at him skeptically.
"Is Lin home yet?"
"Nope, but I have a feeling we'll know when she and the pets get back" he answered knowingly. "Have you had lunch and taken your vitamins?"
"No I haven't had lunch don't you think it's a bit late for that? It's all ready after four" Sakura answered making him frown. "I'll take them now I was just really tired" she added leaving the part out about how she felt a tinge of pain.
"I'll have Rosa prepare something for you" Syaoran stated reaching for the phone next to the bed, Sakura sighed watching him press 0. "Yes Rosa, prepare a late meal for my wife". "Thank you"
"Are you upset with me?" she inquired making him smile, nodding no.
"No I'm not, I understand that you were tired," he answered making her smile, glad that she hadn't made his upset. Actually he hadn't gotten angry with her since they got home and she wanted to keep it that way. Sakura pulled him down for a kiss since she hadn't gotten one all day. It felt so good to kiss him that she almost forgot she was pregnant. Well almost, her children didn't like that thought.
"Good, so can I go downstairs to eat?" she asked in a pleading tone. He looked at her thoughtfully as if trying to decide on the answer.
"I don't know, the doctor said to make sure you stayed off your feet" he responded making her sigh looking down. Then she looked up at him with an evil smile on her face.
"Surely my strong, brave, heroic, incredibly handsome husband could carry me?" she said in a seductive voice trailing her finger across his chin.
"All right infant" he sighed making her brighten.
"Oh your the best, my little wolf" she beamed raising her hands when Syaoran pulled the cover back. "Don't drop me," she warned when he picked her up.
"The only thing you should worry about is me putting my poor back out" he commented dryly making her laugh as she opened the door for them. "I'm an old man you know"
"Hoe? Who said such a thing?" she laughed looking as if she was thinking of a person.
"I don't know. I think it was a certain infant with honey brown locks and innocent emerald eyes that could seduce a saint," he answered looking down at her, raising a brow he continued. "She even said my teeth are fake, but of course you know they aren't"
"I certainly do" Sakura whispered seductively her arms wrapped around his neck when they came to the stairs. "Well actually I'm not so sure anymore maybe I need to have my memory refreshed," she added winking at him. Syaoran chuckled coming to a step in the middle of the steps.
"That's a not bad idea infant, since as you were the one who said that" he spoke lightheartedly making Sakura laugh. He lowered his lips and brushed them softly against hers making Sakura moan, her lips parted telling him she wanted more and he complied by deepening the kiss. However before they could get lost in their embrace laughing from below them made them come to a halt. They both looked down to see Tomoyo, Mei Lin, Sam and the kids standing at the door.
"Ah get a room" Mei Lin joked laughing which made Sakura blush turning her face away as she laugh.
"That's so Kawaii" Tomoyo, Lin and Maria beamed at the same time making everyone sweat drop. They learned it from hearing Tomoyo say it so much over the last few months.
"Look at what you've done to my daughter" Syaoran joked as he descended the stairs, Tomoyo looked at him with mock hurt.
"I did no such thing, they just know that you and Ying Fa are Kawaii. And I got it on tape, HOHOHOHOH" she continued laughing like she was crazy (I haven't used that in so long)
"Oh my, it seems that I'll have to make more snacks," Risa gasped walking into the hall. "Should I place this in the parlor, master Li?" she asked holding the try.
"Yes," Syaoran answered simply. They all followed her into the large parlor where Syaoran placed Sakura on the softest sofa.
"I bet you enjoyed that," Tomoyo cooed, Sakura nodded smiling brightly. She would never ever tire of feeling his kisses it was simply impossible.
"What have you guys been up today?" Sakura inquired eating slowly, looking at Tomoyo and Mei Lin.
"We were talking with Sam" Mei Lin answered placing Danny on the floor. "It seems that your album sales have boosted tremendously. Why someone even asked if they could write a movie or a book on this whole experience" she continued getting Syaoran's attention. "Of course that person was told that it was absolutely out of the question"
"That's good I don't think I want my life to be played on TV" Sakura stated glancing at her husband who smiled lovingly.
"Exactly, we also went over the songs you wrote and he thinks that our return to the music industry would be great but that project won't start until you're ready" Tomoyo confirmed brushing her hair off her face. "Knowing you, you'll probably fall in love with being a mother and totally forget about being a singer" she commented making everyone laugh. Lin, Maria and Tommy went to the garden to have fun and not listen to such boring business talk.
"OH Xiao Lang, you don't have to go to that function tonight. Eriol and Renzo said they would attend in your place since as your supposed to be with your lovely wife during this demanding time" Mei Lin said winking at Sakura who was busily eating ice cream (gotta get your calcium)
"Wonderful" Syaoran sighed he didn't even want to leave Sakura's side during the day. He looked at his wife only to see her wince in pain, worriedly he ask, "Sakura are you okay?" she looked at him hearing her real name and only smiled nodding but winced again when another cut her.
"Yeah, I'm fine just a little tinge of pain. It's nothing" she assured softly. "Syaoran, really it's nothing," she continued seeing him walk to the phone. But he didn't listen as he picked up the phone and dialed the doctor's emergency number.
Later.
She lay in bed frowning up at her husband, whom was currently avoiding eye contact as the doctor finished the check up. Mei Lin and Tomoyo were also present in the room; they had been in here so long that the sun was now going down. After Syaoran had called the doctor he quickly rushed her up the stairs and placed her in bed. "Well nothing seems wrong to me" the man sighed putting his things away.
"I told him that nothing was wrong," Sakura frowned folding her arms like a stubborn child would this made the doctor laugh.
"He was only worried my dear and in your special condition he has every right to be" Avalon clarified. "Now you must always stay in bed and get your rest. We can't have you walking around this large house until after you give birth," he explained making her nod sadly. He knew that Li loved his wife dearly and his theory had been proven a lot of times besides which man would pay for much money for a specialist like him.
"Come doctor I'll show you out" Syaoran offered leaving Mei Lin and Tomoyo with Sakura.
"Oh come on smile," Mei Lin laughed getting playful glare from Sakura who folded her arms.
"Why can't they understand that I'm perfectly capable of walking around until my water breaks?" she asked gloomily placing her hands on her large belly.
"OH please you can't even see your feet much less walk around on your own for a long time" Tomoyo pointed out. And indeed Sakura couldn't even see her feet but she wasn't going to admit that.
"We'll call you later okay, Renzo wants me to go with him tonight" Mei Lin sighed sadly. "He's going to have me dancing all night you just watch"
"I wish I could be dancing instead of laying in bed doing absolutely nothing"
"Sakura nothing exciting is going to happen we'll come by tomorrow afternoon okay?"
"Oh all right, till tomorrow" Sakura nodded when they both gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving her. "Well I guess it's just the four of us until your father returns boys" she sighed talking to her belly..
A week later.(I know I'm jumping time but hey!!!!!!!!)
Sakura shifted uncomfortably in bed feeling as if she were in warm water, slowly her eyes opened to see that she was in bed. She near screamed however when a jagged pain erupted through whole being. Reaching over she felt for her husband but he wasn't there. 'oh why can't he ever stay in bed' she thought biting her lower lip she pushed the heavy blankets back when her eyes saw that the sheets were soak and there was traces of blood. She started to panic thinking something was terribly wrong. "Xiao Lang" she yelled getting out of bed to reach for the phone was she was hit by another horrible pain making her cry out holding her belly. She sank to the floor leaning up against bed for support as she pressed '0'.
"Hello?" came Rosa's cheery voice.
"Rosa," Sakura gasped closing her eyes.
"Mistress, are you all right?" Rosa asked worriedly getting the attention of the other helpers present in the room.
"No call my husband I think I'm labor" Sakura nearly screamed making the woman cringe. "Hurry"
"What's the matter?" Wei asked from behind Rosa who looked pale.
"Call the master, Ying Fa-san is in labor" she answered before she even turned around Wei in his old age was all ready running towards Syaoran's office. While one of the other helpers called an ambulance, they knew she wasn't due for two or three weeks more. "I'll go and get her suitcase"
Sakura.
She looked up teary eyed when Syaoran burst into the room in panic, not seeing her on the bed his eyes darted around the room since as the large bed hid her. "I'm over here," she whispered painfully sweating.
"Oh god are you all right?" he asked kneeling beside her as his hand wiped her soaked hair off her face. Not waiting for an answer he quickly got the blanket she had on the sofa in their room and wrapped it around her thin white night gown. He picked her up in his arms before heading towards the stairs.
"It hurts," she cried burying her head in his white shirt soaking it with hot tears. Syaoran's whole body was rigged, worry clearly written on his face 'please lord don't make anything go wrong' he thought heading down the stairs where mostly all the helpers were present.
He thanked god that Lin was still asleep. "Shhhh it's going to be okay, infant," he whispered soothingly not knowing if he was trying to reassure her or himself at the moment. "Is it here?"
"No, I'll drive because it'll take a while before they arrive" Wei offered already holding the car keys. Syaoran nodded knowing that they would get there quicker driving rather than waiting for the stupid ambulance.
"Here Wei-san, I'll call Li-san" Rosa said handing Wei Sakura's suitcase while Giles's opened the limo door for Syaoran. Wei nodded and ran out the door to the driver's side. Everyone in the house watched as the limo disappeared around the corner all praying that everything would be all right.
Tomoyo.
Eriol's eyes opened slowly from the ringing of the telephone, he glanced at the clock only to see that it was fifteen after six (remember that Syaoran wakes up really early). He groaned wondering who would be calling at this hour, untangling him self from Tomoyo he reached for the phone. "Hello?"
"Eriol it's me Renzo, Sakura went into labor early this morning. She's in critical condition because she's started to bleed" Renzo said in an urgent voice making Eriol snap awake.
"How is she now?" he asked sitting up in bed making Tomoyo slowly awake.
"Well from what Yelen said they're trying to make her hold off having the babies until they run a couple of tests. She must be in real pain," Renzo answered rushing out the house with Mei Lin. "Hey I have to go before Mei Lin decides to drive"
"All right we'll meet you all there" Eriol said hanging up with a frown on his face, this was not good.
"What's the matter?" Tomoyo asked worriedly still half a sleep.
"Sakura's went into labor early this morning" he answered getting out of the bed, Tomoyo instantly snapped awake rushing from under the covers.
"Is she all right?" she asked trying to find some clothes to throw on like Eriol. They accidentally picked up each other's shirts trying to put them on, laughing nervously they switched.
"They're trying to make her hold off from giving birth until they run a couple of tests. They're worried about her giving premature birth in her case" Eriol answered watching Tomoyo stumble into the bathroom before him.
Maria's eyes opened feeling herself being wrapped up "papa?" she whispered sleepily. Eriol smiled down at his daughter not even having time to shave.
"Hai sweetie" he smiled picking her up.
"Eriol, let's get going" Tomoyo shouted from down stairs. Maria was in a daze as her parents rushed out of the house with her.
Hospital.
Everyone would look at the door hearing Sakura's sudden cries from the pain. They were all pacing and those who weren't were squeezing the life out of something. "Is mother going to be all right?" Lin asked Yelen worriedly looking at the door.
"I'm sure," Yelen whispered holding her granddaughter close. She hoped she was right in that aspect 'please don't let anything go wrong'
They all looked down the hall from when Tomoyo and Eriol who was carrying a bundle of something came rushing down the hall. "Any news?" Tomoyo asked anxiously
"Nothing all we've been hearing is her cry from the pain" Fiemie answered when they noticed that the bundle was Maria who was still snoring. They made room for Tomoyo so she could sit but Eriol held unto Maria for safely reasons.
Inside the room.
Syaoran was in a tight position when they arrived at the hospital, Sakura wouldn't allow him to leave so he was the one who had to change her. And now he was sitting up against the bed with her lying between his legs. He winced when her gripped on his hand tightened but what got to him was her whimpering from the pain. "Xiao Lang, it hurts," she whispered as he wiped her face with a cool washcloth.
"Just a little longer" a nurse spoke smiling which earned her a glare from Sakura.
"Longer! Do you know how it feels?" she screamed making everyone wince, Syaoran looked at the nurse apologetically. "CALL THE DAMN DOCTOR AND TELL HIM THAT I'M READY TO HAVE MY BABIES," she continued vehemently making the poor nurse scramble out of the room. A moment later Tomoyo walked in with her video camera but she wasn't taping as yet since as there were no doctors currently in the delivery room.
"How are you baby?" she whispered touching Sakura's face making her smile faintly.
"In pain, I don't think they want to stay in there any longer then I want them to" Sakura answered making Tomoyo laugh nodding in agreement.
"Soon, just give the doctor a few more minutes" Tomoyo assured when Mei Lin poked her head through the door. Tomoyo then turned the camcorder on, smiling at Sakura and Syaoran's face.
"Mei Lin" Sakura sighed loving her best friends for wanting to cheer her up in such a time.
"I just got the nurse to call the doctor so he should be here in no time to fix you up" Mei Lin stated grinning, Sakura nodded great fully. "The only reason why your feeling pain is because they are Xiao Lang's brats" she continued making Sakura laugh momentarily forgetting about the pain, this comment however earned her a glare from Syaoran.
Sakura inhaled deeply feeling that something wasn't right, she cried feeling the baby coming. "I can't wait any longer, they're coming," she wailed making their eyes widen.
"What do you mean?" Mei Lin asked blankly, hoping it wasn't what she was saying.
"I'm saying that I'm giving birth, aieeeeee!" Sakura answered gritting her teeth when Tomoyo focused the camcorder. "Tomoyo this isn't the time, call the stupid doctor"
"But you can't have them now" a nurse exclaimed foolishly making Sakura glower at her.
"Tell them that," she screamed squeezing Syaoran's hand, the nurse and everyone winced. She took a look and indeed saw that they babies were coming.
"Tell the doctors to hurry I can see the baby head" the nurse ordered. "Don't push yet baby, not yet," she ordered looking firmly at Sakura who nodded closing her eyes tightly.
"Hurry" Syaoran bit out worriedly when the two doctors walked into the room with special machines in tow. He didn't at all like the look of that, he held unto his wife's hand tightly Mei Lin caressing the other.
"Okay now, Mrs. Li give us a nice strong push," Avalon finally ordered. Sakura took a deep breath and gave it all her might making the baby slip right out (That's what happened to my brother, he flew out and my father almost didn't catch him since as there was no doctor in the room) surprising the doctor he looked down at the baby. He handed it to the nurse waiting and she carried him to a table not even bothering to tell Sakura or Syaoran what the sex was. A moment later a loud 'whaaaa' echoed through the room making Sakura and Syaoran sigh.
"Sakura it's a boy" Tomoyo helped out taping the baby before turning back to Sakura ( I don't think this would be happening a real delivery room but hey).
"Okay now, its time for number two" Avalon smiled thanking god that the first was okay. Sakura was breathing heavily all ready feeling exhausted but she nodded determinedly. "Good girl now give me a another strong push" he spoke
"Argh" she gasped pushing, this one wasn't as easy as his brother but he came soon enough.
"It's another healthy boy" he smiled when the baby's cry joined his brothers making everyone smile. "Two more to go and your home free" he said but Sakura didn't know if she would have enough strength.
"No" she whispered shaking her head slowly. She couldn't do it; she just didn't have enough strength.
"Yes, yes infant you have to. Come on," Syaoran whispered trying to encourage her. "Think about the beautiful boy or girl that wants to come into this world?" She gave another strong push listening to Syaoran's loving words making him wince feeling pain shot through his hand.
"Girl? Yes a girl" the doctor laughed hearing the baby's strong wails as he handed the small girl to the nurse.
"You're doing wonderful," Syaoran whispered lovingly wiping Sakura's forehead before he kissed her temple. Sakura nodded happy knowing that her babies were okay now all she had to do was deliver her last child and all would be all right. "One more to go, infant"
"This infant is going to kill you for making me go through all this pain, next time around your having the children" Sakura wailed tightly closing her eyes, making him cringe.
"Okay now, this is it" Avalon spoke winking at Sakura who nodded breathing heavily. 'Just one more' she thought taking a deep breath before giving it her all feeling fatigue. "Good" he said seeing the baby come but he lost his smile.
"What's the matter?" Syaoran asked seeing his face. He looked up before he walked away with the baby in his arms.
"What's the matter with my baby?" Sakura yelled not hearing he or she cry that wasn't a good sign. "Xiao Lang what's wrong with our baby?" she cried holding his hand.
"I don't know," he whispered helplessly watching the two doctors and two nurse surrounded his child working quickly.
"She's not breathing" Avalon whispered trying to get the baby to start breathing while Sakura was crying her eyes out. Tomoyo and Mei Lin stood on the side watching hopelessly because they knew there was nothing they could do to help.
Syaoran, he that he had never in his entire life felt this useless before as he sat there holding his wife's hand not knowing if his son or daughter was alive or dead. He felt his throat tighten and his eyes burn but he held back the tears that were threatening to come because he knew he had to be strong for Sakura. "My baby" she choked her vision blurred by tears as she held unto Syaoran's hand. She nearly died when the sound her child's vocal cords erupted in the room making Tomoyo and Mei Lin burst into tears hugging each other.
"Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Li, you have two boys and two girls, all beautiful and healthy" the doctor smiled carrying the small girl wrapped in blanket over to them while the nurses brought over the others.
Sakura burst into a new set of tears holding her two boys; Mei Lin held one of the girls. And Syaoran held the other who looked up at him with gorgeous emeralds filled with curiosity and innocence making him smiles lovingly. She was so tiny, and to think that she almost hadn't made it. "They have your eyes" he commented to his wife, even though he couldn't see her face he knew she was smiling.
"And your strength" Sakura laughed while Tomoyo happily taped. They all looked at the door when they heard yelling and knew that their family had heard. Reluctantly they gave the babies back to the nurses so they and Sakura could be cleaned up. A nurse helped Sakura sit up so Syaoran could get out from behind her, when he got out he smiled at her lovely face and kissed her soundly, a kiss which Sakura returned with all her emotion.
"I love you so much infant," he whispered looking into her heavy lidded eyes. Sakura smiled dazedly feeling exhausted and she ached all over.
"I love you too my arrogant beast" she smiled when he kissed her one last time before he and the others had to leave the room.
When they walked out of the room he was engulfed a tight hugs from his crying sisters and mother while Eriol, Renzo and Wei shook his hand making his smile. "Father" Lin exclaimed hugging him tightly around the neck, Syaoran hugged her back chuckling. "This is so wonderful" she giggled kissing him on the cheek. "When can we see Ying Fa and the babies?" she babbled making everyone laugh.
"Soon," he answered smiling at his daughter.
"How is she?" Yelen asked touching her son's shoulder with a concerned expression.
"She's fine, but we a little problem with one of the girls. She wasn't breathing but the doctors finally got her breathing," he answered sighing; he was currently the most blessed husband and father on the entire earth at the moment. Yelen smiled nodding as they all waited patiently to see Sakura, well she wouldn't have called it patience.
Sakura.
She looked up when her family walked into the room, her husband glowing with unspoken pride. "Kaa-san" Lin exclaimed running up to Sakura. She climbed on the chair and hugged Sakura as best as she could, making Sakura laugh.
"Oh Lin" she sighed hugging her daughter tightly.
"How do you feel Ying Fa?" Xiefia asked softly.
"I feel lighter" Sakura answered making them burst in laughter looking at her hopelessly, when Syaoran kissed her temple lovingly.
They all looked at the door when the doctor and four nurses came in with the babies; thank god it was a large room. "I'm afraid to say that you will all have to leave soon so Mrs. Li can get some rest," he stated making them frown. Tomoyo hearing this hurriedly went over to the babies and started to tape smiling goofily.
"When can I leave?" Sakura asked hating hospitals this made the Avalon smile. He would remain here and continue to check up on her and Quads for a couple of months.
"In two days, since as we have to run some more tests and make sure that everything is all right" he answered, making Sakura and Syaoran nod.
"Can I hold my babies?" Sakura asked softly. He nodded to the nurse who one by one picked up the small infants who were not sleeping. They handed the two boys to Sakura, the other to Yelen and the girl to Syaoran.
"Come on guys tell us their names" Mei Lin urged hugging Renzo. Who was holding Danny, Tommy was at home with his nanny. Sakura looked up her eyes winkling as she held her children one by one, touching their head of brown her and staring into their wide emerald eyes with love.
"Well, he is Rui Lin" Syaoran proclaimed making the nurse write the name on a wristband before putting it on his tiny wrist. "And she's Mei Hua" he continued looking at his daughter that was in Yelen arms; she was the one that wasn't breaking. Yelen was glowing with pride like she always did at the birth of a grandchild.
"He's Xiao Hu meaning little fox and she's Mei Ren" Sakura spoke proudly watching the nurses do the same so they didn't get mixed up. Xiao Hu looked up at his mother and yawned before his eyes slowly dropped like the others making everyone sigh looking at the now proud family.
"We are going to have a huge celebration in a month welcoming them into this wonderful world. Oh they are so KAWAII" Tomoyo exclaimed making everyone look at her thankfully the sleeping babies didn't wake up. "Hehehe sorry" she apologized making everyone sweat drop.
"Come on everyone we should let Ying Fa get some rest" Yelen said watching Lin touched her baby sister's tiny hand and smiled lovingly. She knew now that they would all be happy, they all nodded saying their good-byes for now. Lin knew that they wanted some time alone so she left too but Sakura made her promised to come back, nodding she ran out of room with Maria.
"Aren't they heavenly?" she whispered looking the tiny sleeping figures. Syaoran looked up from caressing Mei Ren's head and smiled brightly nodding.
"They are," he answered walking over to her. "And so are you my precious infant" he continued getting a playful slap from Sakura. He rested his forehead on hers looking deeply into her emeralds eyes as his lips brush against her. "I love you and you've made me the happiest man alive" Sakura's heart swelled hearing his words as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I love you too and you've made me that happiest ever" she replies before they deepened the kiss, getting lost in each other for they had no worries. That's is until they brought the quads home.

"Hey yo, change the station to the news. I think there is something Vanessa would like to see" a woman shouted running into the room. Everyone turned to the TV when the station was turned.
"About one hour age Cherry gave birth to her strong and beautiful quadruplets with out any complications. All your love goes out to the now happy family," a news reporter said outside the hospital making Vanessa glower at it. Everyone burst out laughing pointing at her.
