Fighting For My Family
Tomoyo stood at the terminal with Candidas, who squirmed and wriggled within the confines of her stroller. The raven haired woman saw the plane stop, and her heart jumped. It had been two months since she had seen her husband, and she missed him dearly. Tomoyo eagerly waited as the first class passengers got off the plane, hugging their loved ones as they reunited. Her eye caught a patch of bluish hair, and she felt a shock run through her.
"Eriol!" Tomoyo cried, pushing Candidas toward him. The man took notice of Tomoyo, and rushed toward her.
"What's-" Tomoyo started, looking at the scared brunette girl in Eriol's arms.
"Syaoran. . . didn't make it onto the plane."
Sakura sat in Cass' room quietly, holding one of his bandaged hands gently in her own. Crystal tears formed at the corners of the young woman's eyes as she thought about the anguish that she and Syaoran went through, and the pain that Cass had endured.
*Flash* "Shhh. . . baby, it's okay. We'll try again. Don't give up." Syaoran soothed.
*Flash* "My name is Sakura, I'm pleased to meet you, Angel." Sakura said.
*Flash* "It's a boy." Doctor Eddington said.
*Flash* "Mr. and Mrs. Li, I believe there is someone here you've been waiting to meet." The nurse said softly.
*Flash* "We're here to take Cass." The tall man stated simply.
*Flash* "I can't talk to you." Syaoran replied. Sakura cried harder, and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
"Why, Syaoran? Why?" Sakura cried, her voice raised. Syaoran whipped around, his eyes filled with a pain Sakura had never seen before.
"Because it hurts, okay? It fucking hurts to talk to you, to see you looking so forlorn all the time!" Syaoran cried, tears finally springing to his eyes like a river.
*End*
"It's okay now, Cass. Mommy and Daddy are here, and we're never going to let you go again." Sakura whispered, moving a wisp of hair from Cass' now clean face. Someone knocked on the door, and Sakura stood, a smile on her weary face.
"That must be Daddy. He's bringing you another brother or sister, Cass!" Sakura said excitedly, opening the door to reveal Tomoyo, Eriol, Candidas, and an unfamiliar little girl who could only be her new child.
"Oh my God. . ." Sakura whispered, a hand over her mouth as tears ran down her face.
"Moma!" Aksana cried, reaching for Sakura with her chubby little arms. Sakura took the girl into her arms and held her tightly.
"Where's Syaoran?" Sakura asked, running a hand through the little girl's short brown hair and smiling at Tomoyo and Eriol.
"Sakura. . . we need to talk." Eriol said quietly as Aksana began to whimper slightly.
"Dada no come." Aksana babbled, a sad look on her pretty baby face. Sakura looked at the child, then her friends.
"What?" Sakura asked, confused. Tomoyo put her hand on Sakura's shoulder and looked at her seriously.
"Syaoran didn't get on the plane. There were these men, they had been in our hotel the whole two months after we brought Aksana to it. At the airport, they confronted him, and he told me to take Aksana onto the plane. We took off without him. Sakura, please know that I tried to keep them from leaving, I-" Eriol explained, watching as Sakura's face paled, and she grasped Aksana tighter.
"He. . . didn't get on the plane. He's not here." Sakura whispered. Her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed into Eriol's arms as Tomoyo gasped and grapped Aksana, who was bawling.
"Moma! Moma!" Aksana wailed as doctors rushed in to help. They lifted Sakura into an empty bed beside Cass' and took her pulse.
"What's wrong with her?" Eriol asked, holding his daughter in his arms as she watched carefully.
"Has she been lacking any sleep? Is she under stress?" a doctor asked as he took Sakura's blood pressure.
"She came here last night to see her adoptive son, so she probably hasn't been sleeping. And she's pregnant, her husband's stuck in Russia-" Tomoyo blabbed. Eriol cut her off suddenly.
"Sakura's pregnant?!" Eriol screeched. Candidas put her hands over her ears and glared at her father with angry violet eyes. Tomoyo nodded.
"Almost three months. She must have gotten pregnant after they decided to go to Russia." Tomoyo replied. The doctors stopped checking Sakura's vitals and walked out.
"She's fainted. Let her lie here and rest awhile, she needs it if she's pregnant." One of the doctors said, leaving the room.
"Syaoran has no idea. . ." Eriol whispered as he looked from Tomoyo to Candidas, then to Aksana as she laid with her new mother quietly.
Syaoran felt himself moving, but couldn't see. The men had blindfolded him before shoving him into a van and taking off for some unknown destination. He heard the heavy breathing of one of his captors, and sighed.
"May I ask what in the hell you have kidnapped me for?" Syaoran said angrily, fighting against the ropes tying his hands behind his back.
"You have been taken because you didn't give us what we wanted." The man said, his thick accent making it difficult to understand.
"What did you want with my daughter?" Syaoran asked, curious. Was there something about Aksana he didn't know about?
"She is not your daughter. She is a daughter of Russia, and you are not going to take her away." The man replied, taking a drink of some brandy and glaring at Syaoran.
"My wife and I adopted her. She's ours now, and she's going to live in the United States." Syaoran snapped, receiving a blow to the face in response.
"We will not rest until we keep filthy Americans like you from taking our children away." The man spat, striking Syaoran again. Syaoran tasted blood in his mouth, but he didn't make any faces.
"If you want these children so much, why do your people discard them like refuse?" Syaoran bit back, earning another punch in the face.
"Perhaps the people who discard these kids do not want them. But my comrades and I will do anything to keep them in their native land and prevent them from becoming like you. American." The man said, his voice containing his bitterness.
"Chinese-American, if you want to be technical." Syaoran replied. Nothing happened, he received no injury. The man just sniffed and shifted his weight. The van stopped suddenly, and Syaoran lost his balance and fell over onto his side. He heard the door open, and a gun going off. He smelled the gunpowder, and knew something was very wrong. Syaoran suddenly cried out in pain as he felt a stabbing pain in his side. He heard a commotion outside, and as his blindfold was removed, he vaguely saw the face of a woman before passing out.
Sakura was awake again, this time holding her new daughter in her arms. She watched the child sleep, and mused over how similar to herself she looked. She had found out her name after she had regained consciousness.
'I'm going to be a mother three times in less than six months. . . ' Sakura thought, a small smile crossing her face. Thoughts of her husband went through her head, and her smile faded.
"Don't worry, kids. Daddy's coming home, I swear."
