Chapter 15: Delivery
Author's Note: Surprise! Yeah yeah, I know I've been bad, but here you go...
!!
"Please come in, and welcome to the Li Mansion."
Sakura stood there dazed for a moment. Li? He couldn't have meant...
Her thoughts were interrupted, when she saw a familiar standing in front of the doorway.
"Meilin?" Sakura tried to remember where she had heard that name before.
"Sakura! You're staying with us for the next few months! You remember me don't you?" Meilin exclaimed.
Faint memories came rushing back to Sakura, her last night in England, bumping into Meilin while she was shopping for a gown.
"You live here?" Sakura burst out before she could help herself.
"You look really surprised, come on in," Meilin directed her towards their living room, as the maid took Sakura's luggage upstairs.
"Okay, this isn't really my house, but I live here with my husband Nick, so it basically is ours."
"Ohh..." Sakura looked down, for a second there she had hoped that it was his house, that maybe he was here.
"Wait...The maid said this was the Li mansion, so you're Meilin Li?"
Meilin laughed.
"Use to be,"
Sakura looked shocked, Meilin couldn't be, could she, he couldn't have...
"Until I got married to Nick that is,"
Sakura let out her breath; she hadn't realized she had been holding it in. She felt so stupid, of course Meilin was married, she had told her so herself, to Nick.
"My cousin use to live here, but he left ages ago, to visit his dad, and we haven't heard from him since." Meilin continued, she knew that Sakura knew who Syaoran was; it was obvious by the way she was acting.
"Yeah, well thanks for letting me stay here anyway, I appreciate it," Sakura didn't know what to say. It had to be Syaoran she was talking about; she had to be his cousin.
"You're giving birth ay? Who's the father?" Meilin asked, trying to get more out of Sakura.
"I don't want to talk about it," Sakura replied, stopping the conversation. He had told her to go, it was bad enough that he didn't even tell her himself. She was going to take care of her child herself.
"Alright then, Nick will be home soon"
!!
Months later"Congratulations Miss! On your baby boy"
Oh god... that was the most painful thing she had ever gone through.
Sakura breathed in and out heavily, as the doctor came in with her baby boy, and placed them in her arms.
"Oh god..." Sakura stared into her boy's eyes, biting her lip to try and hold back her tears; he looked so much like his dad, so much...
"Miss, what would you like to name your son?" the doctor asked her, but for Sakura it was all in a daze.
He looked so much like his dad, So much like Syaoran.
"Xiao Lang..." Sakura whispered under her breath, but the doctor heard her.
"Xiao Lang, that's a beautiful name for your son, I'll finish authorizing the papers." The doctor replied as he exited, followed by Meilin and her husband Nick entering.
"How was it?" Meilin asked.
Sakura looked at Meilin, "Funny, real funny Meilin."
"Alright, I'll take the hint, so what did you name him?"
Sakura froze; she faintly recalled saying Xiao Lang. "Xiao Lang..." Sakura repeated again. Oh god how could she have named him after his dad.
"Xiao Lang ay?" Meilin replied, knowing who she was talking about. It had to be her cousin's baby.
"Yeah, I guess I like the name." Sakura made up a lame excuse. She felt so stupid, of course Meilin would know who she was talking about, but it didn't matter, he wasn't going to ask her to come back, even if he did she wouldn't know if she would go.
"So we gonna set up a nursery?" Meilin asked; they had already destroyed half the house, making it better for Sakura to live in while she was pregnant.
"I don't think so Meilin, I think I'll go home after this," Sakura replied, she really did want to go home and meet her family again. Sure they had visited her heaps of times, but she still missed them.
Sakura thought back to her friends, Jason, Josiane and Tommy. Her family had told them the story, she hadn't expected them to react in the way they did. Jason and his twin sister Josiane were both really excited for her, but Tommy was really furious. Especially when she wouldn't say who the father was.
"But I appreciate you all for letting me stay here, for the last couple of months,"
!!
Later
"So what do you think is going to happen?" Meilin asked her husband.
"With Sakura? I don't know, maybe she was just another one of his girls, and she just got unlucky."
"Maybe, but I know my cousin, he took her to his place, he just doesn't do that to a nobody."
Nick considered this.
"I didn't think you're cousin really cared, look at her and you know why, and then she's also wealthy." Nick retaliated.
"Don't say that about him!" Meilin glared at Nick. "You know he doesn't care about money, he's got more of that then her anyway."
"He doesn't know about the baby, I can tell." Meilin added.
"You think he's gonna come after her?" Nick asked after an uncomfortable silence.
"I don't know, I don't know..." Meilin mumbled.
!!
Elsewhere
"What the fuck is happening?" a man tried to yell at another through all the noise that was going on.
The whole place was in a chaos, someone had caused a fire to be lit, and the place was burning. It was dark in the cold night, but the flames, caused everything to be fogged up.
"Yue! He started the fire, he's got everyone on his side, and they're all ready to leave this place." Eriol informed his friend, he had just found out about the sudden turn of events, and his wife and kids were with the other people.
"That bloody scheming bastard," Syaoran cursed.
"You have to go, he wants you dead, he wants to take over for himself," Eriol advised Syaoran. He couldn't leave with him, his wife and kids were with the others, and he had to go with them to ensure nothing was wrong.
Syaoran had to think of a way out, he could take a horse, and he would have to go to back to one of his old houses.
"I know, I'll be fine, you go back to Tomoyo," Syaoran replied, as he grabbed hold of a horse that was running by and ran off with it.
'Meilin and her husband won't be happy to see me' he thought.
