Chapter 30
Li pulls up in front of the house and looks at the clock on the stereo, it reads 1:00 am in a neon green light. Sakura moans and opens her eyes to see the house she has been away from for eight months. She smiles at Li and gets out of the car, she opens the back door and pulls a sleeping Sora out of her car seat, the baby doesn't even wake up. Li gets their bags from the trunk of the car and looks at Sakura, "I hate the look of this house at night."
Sakura nods, "I'm surprised no ones up."
They walk into the house and find Xander and Yelen asleep on one couch, Madison and Eli asleep on another and Meilin and a guy asleep on the love seat.
"Think we should wake them? Who's Meilin asleep on?" whispers Sakura.
Li shakes his head, "Let's not wake them, they all seem so peaceful." Li walks into the room to see the face of the guy Meilin is on top of, a look of surprise spreads across his face and he walks back to Sakura, "That's Ka under Meilin."
Sakura's eyes grow wide and she looks at Meilin as she moves in her sleep cuddling up closer to Ka's body. "Wow you sure do miss a lot in eight months."
"Try one week. Ka and Meilin weren't together when I left." Says Li softly.
"Come on let's go to bed, I'm sleepy."
Li nods and him and Sakura quietly walk upstairs to their room. Once in their room Sakura notices a door that wasn't there before. "Li what's that door for?"
Li looks around and sees the door he puts the bags down and walks over to it and opens it up to reveal a nursery. "They built a room for Sora."
Sakura walks up beside Li and gasps and smiles as she sees the room. She walks over to the crib and lays Sora down in it. "Come on I'm tired."
Li leaves the door open to the nursery and both him and Sakura collapse on their bed still in their clothes and fall asleep.
Meilin groans and wakes up to see the fresh morning light shining through the windows. She sees everyone is still asleep and she gets up off of Ka. She walks over to the window and sees Li's car in the driveway, she screams and everyone wakes up with a start.
"Meilin what the fuck are you screaming about?" groans Eli as he wakes up abruptly.
"Li's car, it's in the drive way." Screams Meilin.
Everyone jumps up and sees Li's car a moment later a baby's shrill cry can be heard echo through the house then a moment later some thumping of someone running. The groups walks into the hall to see Sakura running down the stairs with her gun in hand.
"What's wrong why are you all screaming?" she asks still half asleep.
Madison and Meilin run at Skaura and tackle her to the ground laughing and screaming, "Your home."
"This isn't good for the baby you know." States Li firmly as he comes down the stairs with a crying baby in his arms.
Sakura pushes Madison and Meilin off of her and she gets up off the floor, drops her gun and takes the baby from Li, "Shhhh Sora it's ok." She says very calmly.
Madison gets up off the floor and Ka helps Meilin up. "When did you guys get home?" asks Ka as helps Meilin up.
"One am. We saw you all in the living room asleep and we didn't want to wake you." Says Sakura as she finally gets Sora to stop crying. "Thank you for the nursery."
"Oh that was supposed to be a surprise." Says Madison.
"It was and thank you very much." Says Sakura as she passes Sora back to Li and walks up to hug Madison.
"Sorry about tackling you." Says Meilin.
Sakura let's go of Madison and looks at Meilin with wide eyes, "Did you just say sorry?"
Meilin nods and backs up against Ka.
"Meilin you have never said your sorry, and what's with your hair being down? and why were you sleeping on Ka? Are you two going out? When did this happen?"
"Woah Sakura questions, Ok I have been wearing my hair down for a few days now, yes me and Ka are dating, he moved in with me the other day."
"He's been in your room?" gasps Sakura.
"Meilin let someone in her room?" asks Li as he comes back downstairs from putting Sora back to bed.
"Ka moved in with her." Says Sakura looking at Li.
"Very funny Sakura." Laughs Li but he stops laughing when he sees she is serious and the look on Meilin's face confirms it. "Oh wow."
"What's the big surprise I was bound to let someone in there some day." Says Meilin as she looks at her cousin and Sakura.
"That's not what you told me, you said you were never going to let anyone in your room not even I was allowed in there. Ka you are one lucky guy to win the heart of a witch like Meilin." Says Li with a half smile.
Meilin growls and pounces at Li, tackling him to the ground, "I'm not a witch."
"You're the female version of me Meilin, you know it, I know it and so does everyone else."
"I don't see it." Says Ka as he pulls Meilin off of Li.
"You must be blind not too see how much they are alike." Says Sakura as she helps Li up off the floor.
"She's got a point Ka, me and Li are a lot alike."
"Fine I give up." Says Ka as he holds his hands up in surrender.
"You didn't even fight." Groans Madison.
"Yeah you think I'm gonna fight with these two, not on my life."
"You seem liking picking fights with me a lot." Says Meilin sweetly.
"It's good to see nothing has changed around here. I am sorry for running out like that eight months ago but you do understand why I left right?" says Sakura as she looks at her friends.
"It's ok. We cleaned up your mothers grave too. Didn't want you too see the state it was in before." Says Eli as he hears the door to the study open up.
Yelen comes out of the study looking worn, "Sakura I think you should go and have a talk on the phone."
"Who is it?" asks Sakura as she walks over to Yelen's side.
"My daughter."
Sakura stands there and watches Yelen walk away with Xander. "Fóo." Growls Sakura as she turns and walks into the study slamming the door behind her.
Again Sora begins crying and Madison heads for the stairs, "I'll go watch Sora. Li you go with Sakura."
"Nope Sakura wants to yell at Fóo in peace. I will give her space. Why don't you all come up and see Sora with me." Says Li as he walks past Madison heading for the nursery.
