Author's Note: Ha! In one week too!! Okay, first off sorry to forestfairy, I'm sorry...I did what you told me not to...

"Meilin! Open the fucked up door" Syaoran was standing outside his own house, yelling to be let in, was she freaking deaf or something? He had rung the bell and no one was coming to answer it.

He was slightly surprised when the door suddenly burst open, with Meilin standing there.

"God, Syaoran?" Meilin asked, she could barely recognize him, he hadn't looked like he had slept for ages.

"Yeah, don't look so dumb," he replied as he pushed past her, and into the bathroom, to clean himself up.

Meilin stood standing at the door. Syaoran was here, and Sakura had just left to return back to her house.

"What the hell did you do to the place?" Syaoran asked as he came out, looking heaps cleaner. He looked around, a lot of things had changed, and the place was falling apart.

Meilin didn't answer; she was still trying to work out what as going to happen.

"Are you listening to me?!?" he was in a bad mood, he had just been traveling for many days, without even being able to take a rest, and now he had come back to his house, to find it practically demolished.

"Yeah... we had to accommodate for someone..." Meilin replied, thinking this was the best way to get around the situation.

"In my house?!" Syaoran started screaming at Meilin, this was his house, and she wasn't supposed to let anyone stay here.

"Yeah, well it was family...related," she defended, it was partially true after all.

"Who the hell was here then?" Syaoran demanded, he knew it couldn't be his parents, and he knew it wouldn't be his cousins. They would never have made this mess.

"Hey! Don't get all angry with me, Sakura was here okay, I couldn't very well say no to her" Meilin watched as surprise came on to her cousin's face, but it was quickly replaced by the anger before.

"Sakura? As in the one we met in England? Why the hell was she here?" Syaoran yelled at Meilin, he had forgot she didn't really come from England.

"I told you not to get so aggressive with me!" Meilin countered, her cousin had just come back, and all he did was accusing her of everything.

"You really want to know why she was here?" Meilin continued.

Syaoran glared at her, as she sighed, he wasn't going to admit he wanted to know, she knew her cousin was stubborn as hell.

"She was here because she had to give birth okay?" Meilin blurted out, as she turned to walk off, when she felt her cousin's arm grab hold of her arm and turn her back around.

"What do you mean she gave birth?" he still was holding onto her arm.

"Uhh... I don't know, unless you mean, she got pregnant and then had a baby perhaps?" Meilin replied, with a hint of sarcasm.

Syaoran waved it aside, "whose was it?"

Meilin gave her cousin an odd stare.

"Why the hell are you asking me that? You should know, it's pretty obvious it's yours unless you know a different Sakura."

"It's not mine," Syaoran let go of Meilin's arm as he turned to walk towards the living room.

"What?" Meilin exploded; she had expected him to be shocked, but not to deny it. She ran to stop her from walking away.

"It's yours dammit, the boy is yours he looks exactly like you."

Syaoran ignored her.

"Work it out, I don't know when you saw her, but she just gave birth recently, take 9 months from that." Meilin reasoned, "She was with you during that time,"

He stared at her blankly, thinking about something that Meilin could not register.

"She gave birth to your baby," Meilin concluded, she had to make him go after Sakura.

Sakura gently placed her baby boy into his cradle, he had finally fallen asleep, and she would have to go downstairs and greet her 'friends' Tommy, Jason and Josiane. They were going to be staying her for a while. Her father had thought it would be a good idea for her.

"Sakura," Tommy called out her name, as he saw her coming down the stairs, approaching him and the twins.

"Hey guys," Sakura smiled, as she neared them.

"How you been?" Jason asked.

"It's all been good," she replied, not continuing with what she knew he was really hinting at.

"Okay, we'll leave you two together, Jason and I will just be upstairs unpacking," Josiane announced, as she dragged her brother away.

"Sakura," Tommy repeated, as he brushed back his light brown hair with his hand.

Sakura stood there smiling nervously, when suddenly Tommy leaned forward and captured her lips with his own.

She stood there shocked for a moment, before she realized what was happening and pushed him off her.

"Tommy, what are you doing?

"I've got something to propose to you," Tommy said, without bothering to answer her question.

Sakura sat down to show she was listening, as he sat down next to her.

"Xiao Lang is a fine boy, but he needs a father," Tommy started.

She stared at him further; he wasn't bothering to keep his voice down.

"Are you saying?"

"Marry me Sakura," Tommy interrupted her.

"What?" Sakura was cut off again, as she felt herself being pulled back into Tommy's embrace.

She tried pushing him away from her, but he only held her tighter.

Sakura sighed as she started to respond back to him, but it didn't feel right, it was rough, unlike –

She shut all thoughts of him away, she didn't want to think about him, in fact she wasn't thinking at all, as she pressed harder against Tommy, pulling him closer to her.

Finally they pulled back, when Sakura started to go red, she hadn't meant for that to happen, she hoped she was leading him on, but he had a right to think she felt something towards him, the way she had acted...

"God Sakura, "So we'll get married?" Tommy asked.

Sakura nodded slightly, she was thinking about her son, not about herself, he needed a father.

"I'll marry you," Sakura announced.

"I guess I'm not needed here," came a voice from the doorway.
