*Hey all, thanks for reviewing for me! I didn't expect such a fast response
from some, but I truly appreciate it! Anyway, this chapter focuses on
Sakura and Syaoran and the baby they're going to adopt. I hope you all
enjoy it, and please review this chapter as well. Thanks!*
Fighting For My Family
Sakura walked up the concrete steps as if she were walking on air. Syaoran strode up the steps beside her, his eyes brightly shining. Today was the day they would meet their baby, maybe even take him or her home with them. The couple went inside the adoption agency and waited in the lobby until a young woman in her early thirties walked out.
"Mr. and Mrs. Li? I'm Charvonne Harris." Charvonne introduced herself as she shook hands with the excited parents to be.
"Call me Syaoran. This is my wife Sakura." Syaoran stated, smiling warmly as he followed Charvonne into a hallway. Doors lined the hall, and inside were children of various ages, all talking to potential parents. Charvonne stopped at a door at the end of the hall and opened it for Sakura and Syaoran. They walked in and instead of a small child or baby, they found a teenager sitting at the table.
"Sakura, Syaoran, this is Angel. She is going to be having your baby for you." Charvonne explained, noticing Syaoran's surprised expression and Sakura's open mouth.
"My name is Sakura, I'm pleased to meet you, Angel." Sakura said quickly, snapping out of her shock when she realized they weren't adopting the teen, but her unborn child. Syaoran still stood in shock, and Sakura lightly elbowed him. Running a hand through his messy brown hair, Syaoran blushed and introduced himself as well.
"Angel is sixteen years old." Charvonne stated, putting a hand on the child's shoulder as she spoke. Angel looked up at Syaoran and Sakura, her blue eyes wide and frightened. She was a very pretty young thing, long brown hair framing her round face.
"Will you adopt my baby? I'm only four months along, but I can't raise a child and go to school, you see." Angel pleaded, her eyes welling with fat tears.
"Where is the father, if you don't mind my asking." Syaoran asked, taking a seat next to Sakura, who had sat down beside the girl.
"He doesn't know I'm pregnant. I don't know where he is, he just left." Angel replied, looking down at the table as she spoke. Sakura put her hand on Angels' and smiled warmly at her.
"We would like to adopt your baby, Angel. We'd also like to take you into our home if you need a place to live." Sakura offered. Angel's tears stopped, and she smiled for the first time.
"I would appreciate that. I haven't got a job, and since Marcus left, I haven't had money for rent. I was going to have to move out of our apartment, and I have no family. . . " Angel answered, a look of relief flooding her young face.
"Then it is settled. Angel, lets go get your things so you can leave with the Li's." Charvonne spoke up, leading Angel out of the room and leaving Sakura and Syaoran alone. After the door clicked shut, Sakura squealed in delight, and hugged Syaoran tightly.
"I can't believe in five months, we're going to have the baby we've always wanted! Are you ready for this, Syaoran?" Sakura asked. Syaoran's face lit up like a candle as he kissed Sakura gently.
"I've always been ready to be a parent with you. We're going to do this, baby. We're going to take care of this girl, and adopt her child. I can't believe how easy this is!" Syaoran replied. The door opened again, and Angel stood in the doorway, a suitcase in her hand. Syaoran jumped up and took the bag from Angel, who smiled appreciatively.
"Are you ready to go home, Angel?" Sakura asked. Syaoran smiled widely as Angel nodded, and soon the trio was on the road back to their home.
"This will be your room. Do you need help unpacking?" Sakura said, ushering the teen into a medium sized room. Angel sat down on her bed and looked around the room, admiring the decorating.
"I'm fine, Sakura. Thank you for being so good to me. I won't let you down, I promise. I just need a nap right now. . . " Angel answered, yawning and stretching slightly.
"Of course. Let me or Syaoran know if you need anything, and feel free to help yourself to anything you want. This is your home now." Sakura declared, a warm smile appearing on her happy face. Angel nodded, and Sakura left her alone, closing the door behind her. She walked down the stairs to where Syaoran was. She poured a cup of coffee and sat at the kitchen table with him, sipping it slowly.
"Can you believe this? It's happening so fast! We're going to have so much to do!" Sakura whispered, staring into her coffee cup with a content smile.
"Yes, we have a lot to do. We need baby clothes, clothes for Angel, doctor's appointments, baby things, not to mention we need to decorate the nursery again." Syaoran mused. Sakura stiffened at the mention of the nursery. It was a room down the hall from Sakura and Syaoran's room, and when she thought she was pregnant the first time, she had started painting it. A pale yellow was on half of the bare walls, and had been abandoned through the years as the hope of having a family became smaller. Sakura smiled at the thought of finally opening the room up again and finishing the job she started years before.
"We'll start on it this weekend. I'll call Tomoyo, and she can being Eriol. While we go get clothes with Angel, you two boys can paint the nursery!" Sakura beamed. Syaoran grinned, excited to see the sparkle return to Sakura's face. He thought he would never see it again after all the heartache they had gone through. They had a happy marriage, but that little sparkle had disappeared with the prospect of being a parent. Now it was back and shining brighter than ever in Sakura's emerald eyes.
"Hello, Tomoyo? You'll never believe what happened to us today! We were called to adopt a baby! Can you believe it?! Syaoran and I are going to be parents!" Sakura cried into the phone later that night. Syaoran stood at the foot of the stairs, hidden in the shadows as he listened to Sakura talk excitedly to her best friend. Dressed in only pajama pants, the young man waited for Sakura to end her call before sneaking up behind her and wrapping his arms around her tiny waist.
"Syaoran! I thought you were in bed sleeping!" Sakura cried quietly, trying not to be loud and wake Angel. Syaoran pressed his lips against Sakura's, earning a soft moan from his wife.
"I couldn't sleep without you by my side. Now come to bed, beautiful." Syaoran whispered huskily, picking Sakura up and walking with her up the stairs and into their room, where he laid her down on the bed gently before getting in himself. Sakura touched Syaoran's face with her fingertips, her eyes half closed.
"I love you so much, Syaoran." Sakura whispered, kissing his forehead lightly.
"I love you too." Syaoran replied, kissing Sakura as he reached over and turned off the light.
*I'm sorry these chapters are short, I'll try and make them longer. In the next chapter, Tomoyo and Eriol come to visit, and the nursery gets painted (kinda. . . errr. . . I think I gave away some of the plot). Thanks for reading, and now if you could just click on that little review button and send some love! Later!*
