With You
Before Sakura knew it, it was Christmas. She and Syaoran had been together for exactly a month, and still taking things slow. She was also eight and a half months pregnant, meaning the baby could come at any given time. Christmas morning was filled with gifts and food specially made by Syaoran and Eriol. Sakura got all of the baby clothes Tomoyo had been working on, and she was moved near tears at the gesture.
After breakfast, the four adults cleaned up the apartment, stashing all the discarded wrapping paper in garbage bags and carrying all of their new gifts into their respective rooms. While in their room, Syaoran pulled out a black velvet box and handed it to Sakura. She opened it to find a beautiful silver band.
"It's a promise ring. We'll put it on your right finger, and when we're ready we'll swap it over to the left." Syaoran said gently, slipping the jewelry onto Sakura's finger as she smiled happily.
"Thank you, Syaoran. I haven't got anything nearly as wonderful as that to give you, though." Sakura answered.
"All I want is you." Syaoran whispered, grabbing his towel and pecking Sakura on the cheek before going to take his shower. Sakura fiddled with the ring for a moment before taking it to Tomoyo to show off.
After four showers and an hour of getting ready, everyone was prepared and dressed to go to Tomoyo's mother's house for Christmas. Since Syaoran and Sakura's families weren't in town, they were going to spend Christmas day with Tomoyo and Eriol's families.
"And the cashier asked 'why the long pause?' and the cow said 'I'm a cow'!" Eriol cried as he drove his car through the streets toward Tomoyo's house. Tomoyo and Sakura groaned as Syaoran chuckled.
"What? It's funny!" Eriol cried. Tomoyo patted Eriol on the shoulder and nodded sympathetically.
"Of course it is, honey." Tomoyo said in a mock comforting voice. Eriol scowled at Tomoyo lightly, making her laugh.
"You look like Syaoran when you scowl!" Tomoyo pointed out. Syaoran scowled and sniffed.
"I do not look like that." Syaoran muttered. Sakura grinned and nodded at Syaoran, who realized he was scowling and immediately tried to stop. This action alone made the whole car start laughing.
"Okay, we're here! Tomoyo, you and Sakura take in the gifts, they're light. Syaoran and I will handle the food." Eriol instructed. Tomoyo mocked a salute to Eriol, who shook his head and grinned.
"Tomoyo! Eriol! So good to see you!" Tomoyo's mother cried as the foursome walked in, Syaoran and Sakura behind Tomoyo and Eriol.
"We brought Sakura and Syaoran as well." Tomoyo pointed out, moving so Sakura could smile sheepishly at Mrs. Daidouji.
"Oh come in! We've got guests here Sakura would love to see!" Tomoyo's mother cried, leading them into the main room where some of Tomoyo's family were chattering.
"Look who's here!" Mrs. Daidouji called out over the crowd. Sakura's eyes widened in shock as her father and Touya turned around. Huge grins were on their faces when they first saw Sakura, but the grins faded to looks of confusion as they saw her very swollen belly.
"Sakura?" Fujitaka asked, moving forward. Sakura set down her gifts, and Syaoran handed his food to Mrs. Daidouji, taking Sakura's hand in his gently. Touya pushed forward through the now silent room and pointed an accusing finger at Syaoran.
"Stupid son of a bitch, how could you do this? You're not married!" Touya barked. Sakura flinched at the remark, but kept her gaze on her father.
"The baby's not his, Touya." Sakura whispered, making Touya burn even redder.
"Then who is the monster that got you pregnant? Why didn't he marry you like any other honorable man?" Touya roared.
"Because he beat her! She lives with us now, and we're together." Syaoran suddenly blurted, his face inches from Touya's.
"Is this true, Sakura?" Fujitaka asked. Sakura nodded, tears trailing down her cheeks. Syaoran pulled her to him as she began to cry, heavy sobs racking her body.
"Come on Sakura, let's take this out into the other room." Fujitaka coaxed gently, taking Sakura's hand and leading her out of the room. Touya glared at Syaoran, who returned his stare with an equally angry one.
The party started quickly afterward, some of Tomoyo's relatives approaching Syaoran and commending him on his friendship and love for Sakura. Touya pouted in the corner, his eyes occasionally moving from Syaoran to the other room where Sakura and his father were speaking.
"So Jacob had been beating you all that time? We thought you two got rid of your phone to save on bills. If we would have known. . . "Fujitaka said softly, putting a hand on Sakura's thin shoulder.
"It's okay dad. I'm fine now. I've got Syaoran, and I'm happy." Sakura replied.
"He wants to take care of the baby too?" Fujitaka asked, his voice showing his skepticism. Sakura nodded, and Fujitaka's eyes lit up.
"He's a good man." Fujitaka commented, his eyes shifting to Syaoran as he spoke to some of Tomoyo's relatives.
"He'll be a good father for my granddaughter." Fujitaka added, making Sakura blush slightly.
"We're taking it slow. Maybe it will come to marriage, I don't know yet." Sakura said quietly, her eyes also trained on Syaoran. Standing there in his dress clothes, he radiated perfection. Sakura sighed and moved her eyes to her hands.
"Whatever you do, you have my blessing. I'm just thankful you're alright." Fujitaka said, drawing his daughter into a gentle hug. He put his hand on Sakura's stomach and smiled as the baby inside moved around.
After lunch, Sakura looked for Touya, but heard from Eriol that he had taken his car to go get Yukito for the rest of the party. Sakura nodded, wondering if Touya was going to do anything stupid to Jacob. She knew he had no family in Japan; they were all living in the U.S.
'Don't egg him on, Touya. . . ' Sakura thought as she concentrated on the outdoors through the window.
"Touya slow down! Do you want to die before you see your niece?!" Yukito screamed, grabbing onto the passenger door as Touya weaved through traffic, his face screwed into a determined stare. The silver haired man sighed heavily, relaxing just in time to tense up once again as Touya ran through a red light.
"TOUYA KINOMOTO SLOW THE HELL DOWN!" Yukito cried. Touya listened and stopped the car in front of an apartment building.
"Be right back, Yuki." Touya said to his friend as he shut the door and bounded up the stairs. Ten minutes later, Touya walked back to the car, a relaxed smile on his handsome face.
"What in the world did you do?" Yukito questioned. Touya explained the rest of the story about Sakura, and Yukito's eyes widened.
"And you didn't take me up there?!" Yukito demanded, his eyes growing stormy with anger.
"The two of us would have killed him. I just beat the snot out of him myself, Yuki. Both of us would have been unfair." Touya explained. Yukito nodded as Touya pulled onto the street and headed back toward the Daidouji house.
"Oh . . . "Yukito muttered. Touya sighed and looked over at him with a slightly amused face.
"We'll go back after the party, if it'll make you feel better." Touya said, making Yukito smile devilishly.
At the end of the night, after the party was finished, Eriol drove home with Tomoyo. Sakura slept on Syaoran's shoulder as they rode in the back, her even breathing relaxing to Syaoran.
"So I saw a silver band on Sakura's hand today, Syao." Tomoyo stated, turning to look back to Syaoran with an interested grin.
"It's on the right hand." Syaoran pointed out. Tomoyo nodded and smiled slyly.
"Not for too long, I hope." Tomoyo said quietly. Syaoran blushed like mad but didn't say anything. Tomoyo grinned and turned back in her seat, linking hands with Eriol as he drove back to their apartment.
Yukito left the building and got into Touya's car, smiling triumphantly as he buckled up.
"You're right, I do feel more relaxed now." Yukito admitted as Touya smiled and stepped on the gas, flying down the street toward home.
