"I guess I'm not needed here," came a voice from the doorway.
Sakura turned to see a familiar face she had not seen in a long time. And for a moment there she stood stunned, at who was standing there at her doorway, her whole mind went still, trying to find words.
"Who the hell is he?!" came Tommy's voice breaking her out of her trance.
"Wait!" Sakura called out, finally finding her voice, after she saw that he was turning to leave, making him come to a stop.
Syaoran turned around but said nothing, locking eyes with the girl in front of him.
"Sakura, who is this guy?" Tommy asked, taking no notice that the stranger in front of him wouldn't take his eyes off his 'fianc
"I would be the father," Syaoran answered for Sakura, as she finally broke away, and realized what was happening.
"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked, as she came up to him and pulled him aside from Tommy's view.
"I have a son," came his accusing voice, "I have a son, that you weren't going to even bother telling me about," he stated for her.
"That's not true," Sakura denied, even though she knew it was, he didn't need to know it was better that way. "You didn't answer my question,"
"I came to see him,"
"You can't," Sakura refused, this wasn't right, she was getting married because her son needed a father and now his real father arrives, and was demanding to see him.
"He's mine as well," he argued.
"You can't see him, he's sleeping now, and I don't want to wake him up,"
"What did you name him?" he asked, ignoring the glares he was receiving from the man across the room.
Sakura froze, oh god she couldn't just come out and tell him she had named her son after him.
"Junior..." she mumbled.
"Junior? You named my son Junior?"
"Yeah, well it wasn't like you were there," Sakura retorted back, as she saw Tommy approaching them.
"Sakura are you going to tell me what is happening?" Tommy asked as he placed his arms around her waist.
Syaoran smirked when he saw this, the man saw him as a threat.
"Nothing...he's going to be staying here for a while," Sakura replied for him, her eyes downcast.
Syaoran watched as the man threw him a menacing glare to back off.
"Why is he staying here Sakura? Who the hell is he anyway?" Tommy asked, as Sakura moved away from him to face both of them.
"Tommy," Sakura started, unsure of what to say, "this is Syaoran and he's Xiaolang's father." She quickly glanced at Syaoran, but then turned back to Tommy.
Syaoran felt surprised when he heard Sakura slip out that she had named the baby after him, but he masked his surprise.
"Why is he staying here with us?" Tommy blurted out angrily, as Sakura pulled him over to the side.
"I have to Tommy, he's the father, and he's got a right to see his child, I can't just make him go away." Sakura reasoned.
"Yeah? Is that so? He wasn't there for you ever, I've been more of a father to our baby then he has, we don't need him Sakura."
"I can't do that, it is his son and I can't take that away from him,"
"And soon I'll legally be the father, he doesn't need two."
Sakura hesitated before walking off back towards Syaoran, with Tommy behind her.
"So I'll be staying?" Syaoran asked, directing his question at Tommy.
"Well it seems so," he replied, as though he were forced to say the words, "this evening Sakura and I, and a few other friends are going horse riding, would you care to join us?'" Tommy asked, as politely as he could.
Syaoran smirked, as Tommy made his way out of the room, leaving him and Sakura together.
"Uhh... before we're going to go out, I was just going to go to the church, for Xiaolang's Christening," Sakura finally said after an awkward silence, "Is just meant to be a small event..." she trailed off.
"I'll go with you," he confirmed

"I forgot..." Sakura stared at Syaoran in horror, she had got so rapt up in the moment, that she had forgot about giving the baby her surname. She finally remembered when the minister named the baby using Syaoran's surname, and it was too late to do anything.
"What?" Syaoran asked.
"He named Xiao Lang with your name,"
"So?"
"So? It was meant to be Kinomoto, I can't believe I forgot, he's going to be living with me and Tommy and he's got your surname."
"It doesn't really matter," Syaoran said angrily ending the issue, as the rode back to the mansion in silence.

"Hey honey" Tommy greeted his soon-to-be wife Sakura, as she came back from the baby's christening. He noticed that she and Li weren't on good terms as he smiled to himself, placing a kiss on Sakura's cheek.
"Are we ready to go?" Sakura asked Tommy.
"Yeah, Jason couldn't make it, but Josiane is here," he turned to show Josiane standing at the doorway, laughing at something that Syaoran said.
"Okay then let's go," she replied as the all headed outside towards the stables.
They all turned when the stableboy came out leading two horses behind him.
"Sakura come on," Tommy held out his hand, gesturing for him to get on the horse with him. Sakura sighed as she did, sitting in front of him. She watched as she saw Josiane getting onto the other horse with Syaoran.
"Come on I know the route," Tommy shouted across to Syaoran, as he steered the horse across from them.
They rode most of the way in silence, apart from Josiane's constant giggling.
Sakura lowered her eyes at the girl, she was so fake, the girlish giggles, and her sweet smiles.
"Oh god," Josiane gasped, she had her arm up around Syaoran's neck, as he was kissing her neck softly, his hand travelling down her dress.
Tommy noticed Sakura's continuous glances at the other couple, as he started kissing her across her neck, travelling down, as he kissed her more hungrily.
Sakura sighed, when she felt Tommy's breath travel across her neck. She tried to relax into his embrace, ignoring the two people on the horse across from her.
