"I love you, not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with you."-Roy Croft
The doorbell rang in the Kinomoto's house. "HOE!" Sakura shouted as she rushed to the door. When she opened it, she beamed. "Hi Yukito, Naruku! Hey Sakura, how is the birthday girl feeling today?"
The only reply that Sakura got from her was a frown as the baby turned away from her. "Sorry Sakura, she is feeling a little moody. She just woke up from her afternoon nap." Naruku apologized as she rocked the one year old child in her arms.
"No problem!" Sakura smiled.
"After all, if I recall, Kaijuu used to be like that herself when she was young." Touya suddenly appeared from nowhere and welcomed the guests.
"ONII-CHAN!" Sakura yelled, upsetting the baby, causing her to cry.
"Tsk, tsk! See what you have done Kaijuu?" Touya teased as she frantically tried to calm the child down.
"Touya…" Yukito sighed. "Stop provoking her. You are definitely getting too old for this."
Just then, Kaho appeared, with a small teddy bear. "I think what she wants is an early birthday present." She smiled as she faced the birthday girl and waved it in front of her. "So, Sakura, do you like it?" The baby stopped crying for a moment as she studied the bear. Slowly, a grin appeared on her face as she took the bear from Kaho and started playing with it.
Sakura looked at Kaho. "How on earth do you know how to calm her?"
"Well, a mother knows best!" Kaho laughed as she went back into the kitchen to continue cooking dinner.
As the sun set, the Kinomoto family gathered together in Touya-Kaho's house to celebrate the little girl's birthday. Together with Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol, the ecstasy and festive cheers of a birthday celebration filled the house.
Sakura studied the group. So many things happened within a year. She glanced at Sakura Junior, who was busy playing with the teddy bear that Kaho gave her earlier and smiled. How fortunate for her that Yukito still regarded her as his sister and friend even though she shunned him. She was grateful, and extremely honoured that she was appointed to be the godmother of his child.
A crying baby broke through her thoughts. However, she smiled when Touya quietly excused himself to tend to the child. She couldn't imagine her irritating brother could be such a devoted father towards Fujitaka, named after their father. (It's cheesy, bear with it!) But then, Touya was never an easy person to figure out, even though she had been with him more than anyone else in the room. She admired Kaho for being able to control her difficult brother.
Her eyes met Tomoyo's and the both of them exchanged smiles. Ever since both of them got married, they traveled less, not willing to be apart from their husbands for too long. Even when they are required to go on tour, their husbands will be with them, accompanying them and giving them their emotional as well as financial support. But she guessed those plans would have to be put on hold for now. After all, Tomoyo was currently pregnant with a child much to Eriol's delight. Somehow, Eriol managed to obtain a transfer to the Japan branch, allowing him to stay together with Tomoyo and Sonomi Daidouji. Not surprisingly, the two of them gotten along really well.
As for herself, she gave a sly glance at her husband who was sitting beside her, whose hands somehow sneaked underneath the tablecloth and gently stroking her legs. How lucky she was to find someone who loved her more than she loved him. At times, she felt really guilty that his love for her was much more than hers. But he always scolded her for feeling that way, telling her that it was okay.
"Hey, I heard that there will be a meteorite shower tonight?" Naruku mentioned during the dinner.
Sakura and Syaoran exchanged glances and nodded. "Do you mind excusing us for now?" Syaoran asked politely.
"For what brat?" Touya said, as he walked into the room, he must have heard the question.
"Touya, please!" Kaho said. "Obviously they want to be alone for now. Please, don't be difficult."
Touya flinched. He was everything but difficult. "Fine." Touya sat down and started helping himself with the food as Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the room.
"Do you think Sakura will tell him?" Tomoyo asked Kaho.
Kaho nodded. "Of course!"
Sakura laughed as Syaoran pushed her on the swing. "Higher!" She shouted out.
"Your wish is my command!" Syaoran did as told. He smiled, wondering could life get any better. Every day, he woke up with Sakura cuddling close to him and eating breakfast together before going to work. Throughout the day, he dreamt of going home to see her and in the evening, he will come home with the house filled with sweet aroma from her cooking. His day will end with either talking outside under the night sky or making love through the night. But he wished…
"Syaoran look! The wishing star! Quick, make a wish!" Sakura looked up in the sky to witness the event that bonded them together long time ago.
Syaoran immediately stop pushing as he closed his eyes and made a wish.
When he opened his eyes, he looked straight into a pair of emerald eyes. "So, what did you wish for?"
"What did you wish for?" Syaoran asked back.
"Nothing."
"You mean you wished for nothing!" Syaoran said in disbelief.
"Now, what did you wish for?" Sakura asked as she edged closer to him, leaving him suddenly breathless and hot.
"Well, you know. I always wanted to know, what…" He stuttered, looking at the ground
"Yes?"
"What it was like, if we had a child together… That was what I wish for…" Syaoran trailed off as he looked up and saw loads of love in her eyes, causing him to blush. "But I understand if you don't wan to have a child…" He started rambling, only to be silence when Sakura placed a finger on his lips.
"Syaoran, you silly boy." Sakura said softly. "I want to have a child, your child." She gave a seductive smile. "And guess what?"
Syaoran gulped, unable to focus on anything else except for her smooth skin and rosy lips. "What?"
"I am pregnant."
Syaoran broke out from his trance and stared at her, shell-shocked. "Pregnant?"
"Two months pregnant." Sakura smiled as she pulled him closer. "Your wish had just come true."
"You are pregnant." Syaoran muttered.
Sakura's smile deepened as she pulled him even closer. "Yes, I am pregnant."
Syaoran looked into her eyes and gave a warm smile. "My wish has come true." He said as he sealed her mouth with his under the falling stars.
