Tomoyo opened her eyes and sat up, stretching her arms into the air. She felt an arm drape around her waist, and looked down to see Eriol lying beside her, his bare chest partially uncovered.
"Morning handsome." Tomoyo greeted. Eriol smiled and opened his blue eyes, sitting up and kissing Tomoyo's lips gently.
"Good morning." Eriol replied. The couple got out of bed, walking toward the kitchen. Eriol walked past the living room and noticed not only was Tomoyo no longer behind him, but Syaoran wasn't on the couch. He looked back down the hall to see Tomoyo staring into Syaoran's room, a smile on her face.
"Look what I see." Tomoyo whispered, motioning for Eriol to come look. Eriol sighed and walked over to Tomoyo's side, looking into the bedroom. In the small twin bed, Sakura lay peacefully sleeping, a smile on her quiescent face. Syaoran lay beside her, his arm wrapped protectively over her waist.
"Isn't that cute?" Tomoyo squealed quietly, trying not to wake them. Syaoran was scowling slightly, as if his expression alone would scare off anyone who would try and hurt Sakura.
"If you say so, love." Eriol replied. Tomoyo's eyes got starry as she walked past Eriol to the kitchen.
"I knew they liked each other. Now all I have to do is get them together." Tomoyo plotted, a cunning smile on her pretty face.
"Haven't you learned not to do that? Remember your last little project?" Eriol reprimanded. Tomoyo looked at Eriol devilishly.
"I'll have you know that those two are getting married!" Tomoyo retorted.
"Yeah, only after a year of not speaking because of your hairbrained scheme that didn't work!" Eriol argued good naturedly. Tomoyo giggled, shifting her weight on her feet.
"This one will be different. I promise." Tomoyo said, her puppy dog face making Eriol practically melt.
"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you." Eriol replied. Tomoyo jumped into the air happily, landing in Eriol's arms and pressing her forehead against his.
Meanwhile, Syaoran was opening his eyes to find himself holding Sakura in his arms. Confused for a moment, Syaoran's thoughts gathered in front of him as the previous night's encounter wafted into his mind.
'Son of a bitch . . . scaring her like that.' Syaoran thought. He sat up, looking down at Sakura with tired amber eyes. She slept softly, her breath slow and even. Syaoran's eyes moved from Sakura's face to her stomach, which was rising and falling as her lungs filled and emptied.
Without even thinking, Syaoran reached down and ever so gently touched Sakura's stomach. The child inside bucked at the touch, and Syaoran watched in awe as he saw the baby punch against Sakura's stomach, a tiny little bump forming over the larger bump.
"Isn't that neat?" Syaoran was startled to find Sakura awake, watching the baby move as she lay on her back.
"It's amazing. I've never seen something so miraculous in my entire life." Syaoran replied, training his eyes on Sakura's.
"You're the first person who has said that this child was more than nothing." Sakura whispered. Syaoran shifted onto his stomach, cradling his head in his hands.
"Well I won't be the last. She's going to be so wonderful." Syaoran answered. Sakura smiled and put her hand on her forehead.
"I've thought about it, Syaoran. I think I'll move out after the baby's born." Sakura stated. Syaoran's eyes were downcast for a moment, but he masked it.
"Alright, we'll look into apartments as soon as you're ready." Syaoran responded, getting up and out of bed. Sakura sighed lightly, watching Syaoran as he walked out of the room.
'I didn't think it would be so hard to go.' Sakura thought, resting her hand on her belly and smiling slightly as the baby inside jumped again.
Syaoran walked out into the kitchen where Tomoyo and Eriol were having breakfast. Tomoyo smiled cutely at Syaoran, who didn't return the favor.
"Rough night, Syao?" Eriol asked.
"Sakura wants to move out." Syaoran replied. Eriol opened his mouth to respond, but Tomoyo got to speak first.
"I'll bet you're really upset, seeing as how you two are getting closer." Tomoyo pointed out.
"Look, don't do this. I don't want to get together with Sakura, don't try it on me. You can't just put people together if they don't want to be together." Syaoran cried, throwing his arms in the air.
"Don't tell me you don't want to be with her, Syaoran. I can see it in your eyes when you look at her. You may not realize it yet, but you do." Tomoyo spat, getting up from the table and slamming the chair against it angrily as she walked back to her room.
"Why does she insist on doing this?" Syaoran asked Eriol as he slammed himself into a chair and poured some cereal. Eriol shrugged and got up, taking his bowl to the sink with him.
"Maybe she sees something you don't." Eriol said quietly. Syaoran dropped the spoon into his bowl and watched as Eriol slipped back into the hallway to his room.
"Who sees what?" Sakura asked, startling Syaoran. Sakura sat in her chair and poured some cereal.
"Nothing, it was a joke." Syaoran answered, flashing a weak smile at Sakura as he continued to eat his breakfast.
Two weeks passed by quickly, and things at the apartment became routine. Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol worked out a schedule so one of the three of them was with Sakura during the day. Sakura was almost midway through her seventh month, and her stomach was showing more and more.
Sakura sat on the couch with a pint of ice cream while Tomoyo sketched designs for more baby clothes. Piles of cloth and finished items were stacked all around Tomoyo as she expertly drew up designs. Sakura looked over Tomoyo's shoulder, admiring her work.
"My little girl's going to have the most adorable clothes. Thank you, Tomoyo." Sakura said. Tomoyo grinned and set the sketches aside, moving onto the couch with Sakura.
"She's going to have the most wonderful mother too." Tomoyo pointed out, making Sakura smile. She ran a hand through her now almost chin length hair.
"Let's not forget Aunt Tomoyo and Uncle Eriol." Sakura added. Tomoyo's eyes widened as she grinned.
"What about Syaoran?" Tomoyo questioned. Sakura stopped eating her ice cream and set it on the stand beside her.
"I suppose he'll be a good uncle as well." Sakura mused.
"Only an uncle?" Tomoyo pressed. Sakura shot a glance at Tomoyo, who smirked.
"Don't try and hide it anymore, Sakura. I know Syaoran's been staying with you for the past two weeks. I don't know about him, but I think you're falling for him." Tomoyo cried. Sakura's mouth dropped open as she began to defend herself.
"I have no feelings for him at all! I just feel guilty about him sleeping on the couch all the time!" Sakura shot back. Tomoyo nodded, not believing her friend.
"But if I were to fall for anyone, he would be the one." Sakura said quietly, making Tomoyo squeal in delight. The door opened, and Syaoran walked into the apartment, Eriol behind him. Tomoyo jumped off the couch and into Eriol's arms, kissing him softly.
"Don't I get any kind of welcome like that?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo laughed and shook her head.
"Get yourself a woman and you'll have one every day." Tomoyo joked.
"It's not that simple." Syaoran stated, going back into his room. Tomoyo looked at Sakura with a 'go-talk-to-him' look, and Sakura obliged.
"Syaoran?" Sakura said, knocking on the door. It opened, and Syaoran let Sakura inside.
"I'm sorry for spouting off like that. It's just been a frustrating day at work, and Tomoyo hounding me doesn't help." Syaoran answered. Perplexed, Sakura sat down on the bed.
"Hounding you? How?" Sakura asked. Syaoran looked into Sakura's emerald eyes with his amber ones, debating on if he should confess the whole thing to her.
*So do you think Syaoran's going to tell Sakura everything about his feelings? Does he even HAVE feelings? And what about her? Find out in the next chapter, and don't forget to review, it's my favorite thing to see when I check my email!*
