Chapter 18

Fóo smiles at Aaron after he had just told her what he overheard from Madison's room, "I knew they hid Sakura. They had to the elders don't want me as leader. The second the baby leaves Sakura's body I will never gain control."

"But what if the baby doesn't live through the birth. I mean what if it dies after leaving Sakura."

"Still the baby grew and was born. Dead or not. Everyone will then know Sakura is able to bare children."

"Do you know where Sakura is?"

"Of course not. If I did I would not have wasted eight months sitting around here." Snaps Fóo as she walks over to the patio doors.

Aaron gets up and walks over to her, "Then leave with me Fóo. You know that if Sakura and Li come back with a baby then you will be forced to leave. So why not come with me."

Fóo laughs lightly, "Aaron please tell me you don't have a crush on me." Se says as she glances at Aaron.

"Well I'm not sure. I know I am seeing something in you that I like."

"You're right though when Sakura comes back I will be forced to leave and never allowed to return. I know the rules seem harsh but that's how it is. I was hoping the murder at her mothers grave would bring her out of hiding but she either hasn't heard about it or she's determined not to come out of hiding."

Aaron puts his hand on Fóo's shoulder, "I have to go. I will be back after school."

"You know you spend a lot of time with me."

"I have a free in school and I like you Fóo, your good company." Says Aaron as he leaves her room.

"God your too much like your brother Aaron." Sighs Fóo as she turns back to look out the patio doors.

Sakura grumbles and feels a hand across her stomach. Her eyes flash open and she grabs her gun and brings her hand around and points it at the head of the person next to her.

"Morning Ying Fa." Says Li with his eyes still closed as he feels the barrel of her gun press to his temple.

"Oh shit Li. I'm so sorry." Gasps Sakura as she takes the gun away and puts it back in it's hiding place. "I just freaked I guess."

"It's ok. I figured you would anyway. So did anyone invade your dreams?" says Li as his eyes open and he sits up beside Sakura.

"Nope. You're a wonderful dream protector." Smiles Sakura as she pushes her self up on the pillow and winces.

"What is it?" asks Li quickly as he sees her face scrunch up in pain.

"My back hurts is all." Smiles Sakura as she sees the worry on his face. "Li I'm fine just a little back pain. It's gone now."

Li relaxes and smiles, "You scared me there for a second."

"I scared you. Oh that must be a first." Giggles Sakura.

"You didn't see me when you were gone. I was so scared that something would happen to you but I couldn't let it show so I covered it up with my anger. That's why I'm known as a true black heart."

"But I'm ok. I'm fine." Says Sakura but she winces again as a slight pain shoots across her back.

"I saw that. Your in pain." Says Li.

"I'm fine. Will you stop it." Says Sakura as she gets out of bed and walks to the bathroom. Li is right behind her.

"Li I need to pee. I don't really want you watching."

"I don't care, you in pain and your trying to hide it from me. Damn your hiding skills have gotten bad in eight months."

Sakura hands go to her back and she winces again.

"That's it were going to the hospital." Says Li as he gently grabs her shoulders and leads her to the front door.

"Fine but we are taking my car. The keys are right there." Says Sakura as she points to her purse.

Li grabs her purse and hands it to her. Ten minutes later they are in Sakura's car and she is directing him to the hospital. Once they arrive, Li takes her to the e.r. and makes her sit in the chairs as he walks up to the front desk.

"May I help you?" asks an elderly woman at the desk.

"Yes um, my girlfriend is nine months pregnant and she is due sometime this week. She's been having back pains and I thought I should take her in."

The woman looks past Li and sees the pregnant girl sitting in the chairs and her face is scrunched up in pain. She turns around and sees a nurse, "Jenny can you please take that girl and her boyfriend into a privet room."

The nurse walks over and sees the girl in chairs, "Labor?" asks Jenny.

"That would be my guess."

"Well we should send her upstairs then."

"Jenny please just check her and if she is in labor send her upstairs."

Jenny nods and walks around the desk, "What her name?" she asks looking at Li.

"Alex."

Jenny walks over to Sakura, "Alex will you come with me I am going to check and see what's wrong."

Sakura nods and stands up and follows Jenny, Li at her side.
