*S&S are going to make it through! Hooray! I honestly thought about making
them get divorced for awhile, but then I thought about my readers, and how
sad they would be to see them break up. This is how much I love you all!
Especially the ones who review! You all rock! Anyway, enough rambling. . .

Fighting For My Family
Syaoran opened his eyes and looked over at Sakura as she peacefully slept beside him. It was the first time they'd made love in so long, and Syaoran hadn't realized how much he had missed feeling her touch. He reached his hand over to Sakura's face and touched it softly, afraid that she might vanish into thin air, and his life would be hurtled back into the darkness from whence he had escaped.
"Good morning, Syaoran." Sakura whispered, bringing Syaoran out of his thoughts. Immediately Syaoran felt his lips curl into a smile, and his soul felt lighter. This was the way things used to be, when he was happy, and Sakura was happy. This was good.
"Morning." Syaoran replied, kissing Sakura's lips tenderly. Sakura watched Syaoran as he stared at her, his amber eyes clear for the first time in three months. The talk they had the night before had torn down so many barriers they had put up against each other. It was amazing how they had patched up months of hurt and pain in just one night.
"You know, it's Christmas Eve. I think Tomoyo asked us to come to her party." Sakura said, playing with a renegade strand of Syaoran's messy hair.
"When did that happen?" Syaoran asked. He had spent so much time out of the house, he didn't even know what was going on in his wife's life.
"About a week ago." Sakura answered, her emerald eyes showing a bit of hurt as she recalled the week before, and how it sharply contrasted with the present moment.
"I'm sorry, baby. I was horrible, and I don't want you to think about the last three months. We'll go to Tomoyo's party. It'll be fun." Syaoran said, taking Sakura's chin in his hand and looking at her lovingly.
"Alright." Sakura replied. Syaoran got out of bed and started for the bathroom.
"Syaoran. . . " Sakura said, sitting up and gathering the sheets around her naked body.
"Yes?" Syaoran asked, watching as Sakura smiled somewhat shyly.
"I missed you." Sakura whispered, her emerald eyes showing a hint of the sparkle he had gotten to love so much. Before she knew it, Syaoran was back in bed, kissing her deeply.
"I missed you too, love. But never again." Syaoran replied, laying his wife back onto the bed as he kissed her lips once more.
"Sakura! Syaoran!" Tomoyo cried gleefully after she had opened the door to find the couple standing there. Together. For the first time in months. Sakura grinned, and Syaoran had his arm around her waist. They walked into the house, and Tomoyo looked at Eriol with a happy smile.
"They're back together! For awhile I honestly thought it was over." Tomoyo said quietly to Eriol, who held Candidas as she squirmed in his arms.
"Nothing can end that love. Not even the most terrible situation." Eriol replied, taking Tomoyo's hand and walking with her into the living room.
Later, after dinner was over, Tomoyo and Sakura were washing dishes in the kitchen. Sakura looked out into the living room and watched as Syaoran played with Candidas, a wide grin on his face. The little girl crawled to Syaoran and climbed into his arms, nestling her head against his strong chest.
"He was such a good dad." Sakura mused, almost inaudibly.
"Yes, he was. But Sakura, that doesn't mean he won't be ever again. You can try adoption again." Tomoyo said quietly.
"Adoption again? Tomoyo remember the hell we just went through with Cass? What if we do it again, and the mother or father comes back and says 'hey thanks for taking care of my kid, but I want him back now?' I don't know if we can do that again. . . especially Syaoran. He loved Cass so very much, and he was so hurt. I don't want to see him hurt like that ever again." Sakura replied, washing another dish and handing it to Tomoyo. Syaoran stood at the edge of the kitchen door with Candidas. His eyes were saddened by the words he had heard.
'I'm sorry, Sakura. But I can't give up yet.' Syaoran thought, turning and walking back into the living room with Eriol.
That night, as Sakura slept serenely beside him, Syaoran logged onto the internet. He typed in some search words, and was soon checking websites for information about adoption.
'If we're ever going to do this again, we're going to know exactly what rights we have, and what we can do to make this adoption last forever.' Syaoran thought as he read to himself.
*One week later*
"Ten. . . nine. . eight. . . " Syaoran counted. Sakura watched the clock as it made its way around the circle. In a few seconds, a new year was upon them. A new year to start over for Sakura and Syaoran. Christmas had been a little difficult, however the couple stabilized each other, and had made it through the holiday stronger than ever. Now they were seconds away from starting another year; their fourth year of marriage would come on the 26th of May. Sakura watched Syaoran and noted the confetti in his hair. If he knew it was there, he would have had a fit, but Sakura had thrown it up without him realizing, and now he was too busy counting down to notice.
"Four. . . three. . . two. . . " Sakura began counting down with Syaoran, who hugged her close to him. He looked down at her smiling face, and his eyes glimmered. Soon he would have a surprise for her, after he had done enough research. He would find them a baby to adopt, and they would be happier than they had ever been before.
"One! Happy New Year!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted. Suddenly, the room lit up with movement, and Syaoran found they weren't the only two people in the world, and that it indeed was spinning. They were at another party at Tomoyo and Eriol's house, this time with family and friends. Sakura wrapped her arms around Syaoran and kissed him passionately, then looked up at him with stars in her eyes.
"Did you make a resolution?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded, a smile creeping on his face.
"Yeah, I did." Syaoran replied. They met in another kiss, and Syaoran brought Sakura closer to him.
'I resolve to find you a son or daughter before this year is over. . . ' Syaoran thought as he watched Sakura lovingly.
