Well, at the end of this, I'm putting a bunch of choices for all my reviewers to vote for. Choose the story you like best and I'll write that one first! Thanx! Well, this is a sad chapter. Semi-sad Semi-happy. Something bad happens and something good happens. I can't believe I wrote it. If you cry at little things…get the tissues. Well…Chapter 13…
From Chapter 12…
Hours later after everyone had left to go home Sakura and Syaoran bid farewell to Yamakazi, Chiharu, Naoka, and Rika. They were sad to go but asked for a tape of Tomoyo's and Eriol's wedding. Wei was driving them to the airport so after long good-byes and series of sorry's they were gone. Sakura plopped down on the couch after changing out of the wedding dress.
"I'm tired. I don't know about any of
you!" Sakura said looking at Meilin, Tomoyo, Syaoran and Eriol. They nodded in return. She giggled.
"Hold on. I want some ice cream Sakura said getting up. A sharp pain in her stomach allowed her to
collapse to the ground clutching her stomach.
Syaoran rushed to her side. "What's wrong? Are you
okay!"
"Babies…coming…hospital…" Sakura squeaked out.
Chapter 13
What else could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Tomoyo, Meilin, Syaoran's sisters, Fujiitaka and Yelen were sitting down in chairs next to Sakura's hospital room. Touya and Eriol held down Syaoran from getting up and pacing again. Pace anymore and he'd make the hole in the ground deeper.
"Syaoran Li?" A nurse said coming out.
"Me!" Syaoran said forcing himself up and shaking off Touya and Eriol.
"You can go in now!" she said smiling. Syaoran nodded and took a deep breath before going in and closing the door behind him.
"Sakura…" Syaoran said quietly. She looked up and smiled at her husband. She was feeding the girl and the boy was sleeping soundly right next to her in crib type hospital bed.
"We still have to name them." Sakura said. She sounded so tired and her eyes were red. He sat down beside her and held her hand.
"What would you like?" he asked.
"Ummmm…I like Natasha for the girl. It's a really pretty name. But I don't know about the boy." She said looking over at him.
"Natasha, that's your mother's name, the American way,
right?"
She nodded quietly. "I wanted to name her something that would remind her of her of my mom." She said almost back to tears.
"Shhh... It's perfect. For the boy, is Josh okay? Even though?"
"Yes. That's so cute. Natasha and Josh." She told the nurse who
was waiting for the names to write on the birth certificates. She nodded and wrote it down handing the two
pieces of papers to Syaoran who put it on the table.
"Want me to get everyone else, or wait a while. You look dead tired."
"No, I know they'll be dieing to see them.
Here, take Natasha. I'm going to
feed Josh." Sakura said. "Would you
ever regret it?" she asked before he opened the door.
"Regret what?"
"Like, the cruise trip, and everything we went though? Like if you could take it all back, would
you?"
"Of course not! I would've married you
anyways. I love you too much to let you
go!" he said giving her one of his to die for smiles and opened up the door and
walking out before closing it again.
She sighed and smiled happily as she fed Josh. Squeals could be heard from outside.
Syaoran closed the door as he held little Natasha. "She's adorable!" Tomoyo squealed jumping up and running to Syaoran followed by Meilin, Yelen, Fujiitaka, Touya, the four sisters, and Eriol.
"She looks so much like Sakura!" Eriol said looking at his
half daughters, daughter.
(SL: Confusing, eh? Hehehe!)
"Where's the other one?" Fujiitaka and Yelen asked anxiously.
"Inside. Come in. But be quiet, Sakura's really tired." Syaoran said before opening up the door. Sakura was gently rocking Josh, holding him.
The squeals followed as Sakura nervously let her father hold Josh. Syaoran let his mother hold Natasha but was careful not to go far.
"Awww! It's so cute! The parents of the kids holding their grandkids!" Tomoyo squealed as she whipped out her camera.
"You STILL have that!" Sakura asked.
"It's a WAY newer version!" Tomoyo said videotaping every second. Sakura sweatdropped as she watched her dad and mother-in-law hold her newborn kids. She smiled seeing how far she had gone. Getting together with Syaoran, getting pregnant, fighting off all the problems, getting married, going through relationships, and finally having kids. It was A LOT for Sakura. Her head went dizzy thinking of all the memories. Relaxing back on the pillow she sighed. Syaoran had noticed and quietly slipped out. He went to the desk near Sakura's room.
"Excuse me. I was wondering when Sakura Li was allowed to leave?"
"Let me check." The nurse said as she grabbed a clipboard and read though some
papers. "Tomorrow."
"Okay, Thanks." Syaoran said as he walked back and slipped back into the room. Only Eriol, Tomoyo and Meilin were there.
"Everyone else went home." Tomoyo said holding a sleeping Natasha. Eriol was holding Josh as Meilin watched anxiously wanting to hold them. Sakura lay asleep in bed. He kissed her goodnight and sat down beside Meilin.
"You guys should get home to. Your wedding is tomorrow." Syaoran said after a while. Tomoyo yawned and nodded. Kissing Natasha she softly set her on the bed as Eriol put Josh on his bed.
"You two will make great parents." Meilin said as Syaoran closed the door behind the four. Tomoyo blushed and whispered thanks as she leaned on Eriol heading out into the front doors. Meilin smiled softly in the dim light as she Touya run up to them. His face was pale and beads of sweat ran down his face.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Meilin asked putting a hand on his arm.
He panted trying to catch his breath. "Accident…dad…trouble…ambulance." Touya managed out before collapsing on a bench and breaking into tears.
Syaoran's mouth dropped open as his mind went blank. Meilin bit her lip as she sat down beside him trying to soothe his tears as Tomoyo burst out crying.
"Where is he now? What happened?" Eriol asked.
"He's on his way now. I ran here as soon as I found out. He went out for a walk once we got home and then a man came saying he was hit by a car crossing the street." Touya said wiping his eyes. An ambulance pulled up to the front doors as an unconscious man on a stretcher was pulled out and rushed inside. The 5 looked at each other and ran inside. A security guard stopped them.
"Please! Let me through! My dad just came in. He was hit by a car." Touya breathed out.
"Sorry, I can't let anyone through. You'll have to talk to the front desk and
fill out the proper forms young man."
"I suggest you let us through, or I'll tell the Li Clan to stop funding this hospital." Syaoran said moving up beside Touya.
"Oh…Umm…sorry Mr. Li…" the man stuttered out before moving aside. Syaoran smirked and kept moving. In emergency they were told that he was in surgery and that they would have to wait a while.
"You guys can go home. It's really late." Touya said glancing at his watch.
"No! I'm not leaving until I know if he's going to be okay!" Tomoyo said.
"I'll call you the minute I know anything. Now go!" Touya said. Eriol gave her a look and she sighed and walked out.
"Meilin…Syaoran…you guys go to."
"I'm staying. I'm not leaving you here
alone." Meilin said sitting down beside him.
"Fine. Syaoran?"
"Staying."
"Fine. You know…I
guess you aren't half the brat I though you were. Back there and stuff, thanks."
"No problem."
~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~
Sakura awoke to the morning sunshine that spilled though her window and let out a small yawn. Syaoran was asleep on her bed. Resting his head on the bed and sitting on the chair.
"Wake up Syaoran!" Sakura laughed shaking him.
"Whaa? Oh…Good Morning Sakura."
"What are you still doing here?" Sakura asked. Syaoran went silent as a sleepy Meilin came inside.
"He's out *yawn* of surgery *yawn* They don't know whether he'll *yawn* live…oooh…umm...morning Sakura.." Meilin said looking down.
"Who? Who's hurt? Who's in surgery? Who may not live!" Sakura panicked.
"Sakura. Last night
your dad was on a walk and was hit by a car."
"Oh Kami." Sakura managed out before breaking down into tears. Touya walked in and sat down.
"Touya!" Sakura cried before running into her brother's arms.
"Is he okay?"
"Go talk to him. We'll stay here to watch Natasha and Josh." Sakura flung open the door and ran down the hall. She had worn her own pyjamas so she didn't have to worry about those stupid hospital gowns.
Syaoran and Meilin gazed over at Touya whose eyes were red and puffy. He shook his head and held his head in his hands. Meilin's hands went to her mouth as she turned to Syaoran for comfort.
"Daddy?" Sakura whispered quietly entering the room. There was no response from the life form on the bed. Biting her bottom lip she walked over and held her father's hand.
"Sa---Sakura…" Fujiitaka looked up and smiled at his daughter.
"Yes. Yes daddy, it's me. You're going to be all right. Okay. You're going to be just fine."
"No Sakura…be a good girl. Wish Tomoyo and Eriol the best for me. And give Natasha and Josh the best of care. I know you and Syaoran will be happy. I can go and live with Nadeshiko now. I've missed her so much. You've grown up Sakura. We are both very proud of you." Fujiitaka whispered out. Sakura's eyes brimmed with tears.
"No daddy. You have to live. You haven't even lived yet. You have to see Natasha and Josh grow up." Sakura said as the tears slid down her cheeks.
"I love you Sakura. I love Touya too. Tell Natasha and Josh too. Good Bye Sakura." Fujiitaka whispered out before closing his eyes. The heart monitor flat lined as she whimpered and a nurse ran in. She watched the nurse's and doctors run around before giving up. She nodded to them and shuffled back to her room.
"He's gone. At least he'll be with mom now." Sakura said looking down and looking at the twins sleeping on their beds.
"A nurse came in and we checked you out. We can go home. We have Tomoyo and Eriol's wedding to get to."
~~~***~~~***~~~***~~~
By that night everyone was tired. Especially Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol, Meilin, Syaoran, and Touya. Tomoyo and Eriol had had there wedding and loved every minute of it. Yelen had taped the whole thing. Natasha and Josh had little outfits on that were so adorable. She was the maid of honour while Meilin was a bridesmaid. Everyone was very solemn at the news of Fujiitaka's death, the Card Mistress's father. It was a joyous occasion. True, but it was very hard for everyone. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meilin were in the garden watching the stars.
"Will you be okay, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked looking down at her.
"Yeah. I'll miss him. A lot. We're having a funeral for him tomorrow. I know that he wanted to go. He didn't want to leave us, but he missed my mom. I miss them both so much, but I think I'll be okay." Sakura said staring at the ground as she softly pushed herself on the single swing. Tomoyo sat on the edge of a fountain as Meilin sat on a bench. Sakura took a deep breath as cries could be heard throughout the estate.
"See you guys later." Sakura said dashing inside. Tomoyo and Meilin smiled as Touya and Eriol came out to join them.
"I guess Syaoran and Sakura will be really busy now, with the twins" Meilin said as Touya wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. Eriol sat down next to Tomoyo.
"Nah. They won't be that busy. They'll always have time for you guys. We're all best friends, no matter what!" Eriol smirked.
"ERIOL!" Syaoran's angry voice carried throughout the mansion.
"No matter what, eh?" Tomoyo giggled.
"Meh, well…it always depends!" Eriol smiled as Syaoran came out drenched in blue paint and whipped cream. Sakura giggled as she walked out pushing a stroller with the two babies inside with matching outfits. Natasha wore a cute purple dress and Josh wore a purple shirt and jeans. They both wore tiny sneakers.
"Mmmm…yummy whipped cream!" Sakura smiled whipping off some and sticking her finger in her mouth.
"I'll give you until the count of three…" Syaoran said as his hands clenched.
"Later, Tommy!" Eriol said dashing out towards the backfield.
"3! I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU MINDLESS FREAK!" Syaoran screamed after him.
"No matter what, never take after daddy, okay?" Sakura said looking at her kids and laughed.
