Chapter 11
Sakura pulls on the wide leg blue jeans and the black baby tee that Li gave her. She looks at her reflection in the mirror as she leans over the sink. "What have you gotten yourself into?" she mumbles to her reflection.
"I wanted to be pregnant so bad and now that I am it's the one thing I don't want. I'm going to be a danger to all the Black Hearts now. Li and Eli will want to protect me as much as they can and Madison and Meilin won't ask me to go on missions with them anymore. But maybe not. Should I tell Li now though?"
Sakura sighs and grabs her toothbrush and brushes her teeth until she can't taste the vomit anymore. She opens the bathroom door to see Eli, Meilin and Madison are sitting with Li and Fóo.
Li sees Sakura walk out of the bathroom and she looks more pale than usual. He gets up and walks over to her putting his hands on her shoulders and looking into her emerald eyes, "You ok?"
"Um actually I have something to tell you all, and this concerns you too Fóo." Says Sakura with a half smile looking from Li to the group behind him.
"What is it Sakura?" asks Li.
Sakura walks away from Li and over to the sitting area and sits on the couch. She looks at Li and motions for him to sit beside her. Li nods and walks over and sits down.
"Well I am um well…" stammers Sakura softly.
"What is it?" asks Meilin as she pulls her knees up to her chest and rests her chin on her knees.
"Well, it's the fact that I am not really sick but I will be throwing up for awhile." Sakura says Softly while staring at the floor as if it was the most entertaining thing in the world.
Meilin and Madison smile brightly knowing Madison's guess was right.
"I see." Says Fóo coldly.
"Well I don't see, am I the only one who doesn't fucking get it." Says Li as he sees the look in Eli's eyes showing that he too knows what Sakura is talking about.
"Li I'm pregnant." Says Sakura quickly as she looks up at him and her eyes meet his deep amber eyes.
"I'm sorry what?" says Li as his eyes grow wide.
"I'm pregnant." Says Sakura as she smiles a crooked smile at him.
"You have got to be joking." Says Li his voice sounding angry and cold.
"I'm not." Says Sakura knowing that Li isn't angry just shocked.
Li looks at Fóo who doesn't look very happy, then to the others and sees them smiling brightly. Li looks back to Sakura and smiles, "How far along are you?"
"Oh well I don't know I only found out this morning from the school nurse. I was going to call the doctors later." Says Sakura surprised with how Li is taking this kind of news.
"Well were going right now." Says Li standing up and heading for the door.
Sakura gets up and follows him, "Li what about Fóo she said she had news from the elders."
"Yes well that can wait. Anyone else wanna come too?" asks Li as he looks at Madison and Meilin knowing they are itching to come along.
Madison and Meilin jump up and run to hug Sakura, "Were coming too." They both say together.
As Meilin and Madison engulf Sakura in a big hug Sakura watches Li and sees he's smiling and generally seems happy.
"I'll come too. Got to keep the girls in line." Says Eli as he gets up and brushes a few strands of his blue hair away from his face but it's no use they fall right back into place.
"I have someone to see. I will be back later." Says Fóo as she stands up and watches the group before her.
"Come on you guys. We can take the Lexus we can all fit in that car." Says Li as he grabs Sakura's hand and pulls her into the hallway.
Li paces back and forth across the doctor's office while Sakura is sitting on the examination bed swinging her feet like a child does.
"Li will you please stop pacing your making me nervous." Says Sakura as she looks up at him with a smile.
"Well I can't help it, the doctor has been gone for three hours now and it's nerve wracking." Mumbles Li as he continues to pace back and forth.
Just then the office door opens and in walks the doctor. She smiles at Li and Sakura as she walks to her desk. "Well Sakura you about three weeks along. You say you just started your morning sickness today?"
"Yes I did."
"That's normal. Now do you have your pre-natal vitamins?"
"Yes the school nurse gave them to me a long with a lot of reading material."
"Great. Now Li I must warn you Sakura will get pretty moody as the pregnancy moves along."
"You mean worse than she is now?" asks Li.
Sakura gasps and playfully punches him in the arm; "I'm not that moody."
"Oh the hell you aren't." says Li with a smile.
"Yes well Sakura you can go now. I'll give your name to an O.B. if you would like me to. She can call you about an appointment."
"I would like that very much. Thank you for everything doc." Says Sakura as she hops down off the table and walks for the door.
Li smiles to the doctor and follows Sakura.
"So how far along are you?" asks Madison as she sees Sakura walk out of the office with Li behind her.
"About three weeks. Come on I want to go visit my mother." Says Sakura, getting a nod in agreement from everyone.
