So sorry that this chapter is so late and so short. But I have good reasons and it's not only the school reason. It's this: My dad, which I haven't seen since I was one, and since I haven't talked to since I was 6 called me for the first time on Martin Luther King day. So, I've been busy talking to him, which he is in New York. Plus I've been talking to my best friend in Tennessee and my other good friend in Virginia. So, basically, I've been busy with that.

Then the other is school work. bad excuse, I know. But we have a really big project due soon, and I've been working hard on it.

Third reason, me and my other friends have been hanging out so much, we're rebuilding the bond we once had.

Fourth reason, my sweet 16 is in March, and we're celebrating it three whole days, two nights. So, even if it's a while away, it's going to be big, and I'm starting all my planning.

The last reason is that I have totally had authors block. I had no clue what to write! You can tell in this chapter. I'm so glad I finally finished this one and I can work on the next one. My other story has all the way up to Chapter 9 done, but I don't update that story unless I update this one and vice versa.

This chapter lacks detail and length, and I'm really, really sorry. I know what I'm gonna write for the next chapter, at lease I hope so, and I'll get that up as soon as possible. Alright then, thanks for all the reviews. Till the bottom.

Hate or Love

By: Nalu Gurl

Chapter 14: the Funeral part 2: going into labor

Sakura stood with her brother as she talked to some people that she had never met before. She was surprised to see how many gifts were given to the family, and the envelope box was full, no doubt with money.

Touya was talking on and on with a man who was supposed to be her 2nd or 3rd uncle. Apparently the men new each other. He stopped coming around once Sakura's mother had died, which helped her understand why she didn't know him and Touya did.

She felt an arm around her shoulder and looked up to see Touya. The man he was talking to had walked away to attend to some people. "I'm surprised Kyoko didn't come. Uncle Kei was talking to me about her. Wondering where she was. I know she's a witch and everything, but you didn't forget to tell her that the ceremony was being held today, did you? After all, they were in love."

Sakura shook her head. 'if only you knew, Touya.' "I told her that it'd be today, I guess she really didn't love him."

"Hey, I hate her too, but that's no reason to be mean. Maybe she's in to much mourning."

"Yeah, cause she lost all dad's belongings to me. That reminds me, you get the house."

"You can take it, I told you we're moving to Japan, why would I need that house when I'm gonna have a mansion?" Sakura laughed slightly.

"You…Mansion? You gotta be kidding me."

"I'm not, I got a lot of money. Plus with this new building being built here, it's sure to make me more rich then I am now."

"So why not donating some of that money to me?" She asked, hitting him on the arm. He pretended to be sore.

"That's why, you Kaijuu."

"Shut up!" She laughed, stomping on his feet. She turned to see some men carrying her father's coffin out the door and into a large car. (I forgot what it's called! Sry!))

Touya was making the announcement for everyone to head of to the cemetery so that he could be buried.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They all watched as the priest said his last words and the coffin was lowered into the ground. Rose petals, Cherry blossoms, and Nadeshiko's were being gently thrown into the hole.

Slowly, people started to leave. Syaoran, Fanren, Fuutie, Xiefa, Yelen, Feimei, and Tiffany stayed on the side as they watched the siblings talk to the priest. There hearts went out for the two, they were mourning the loss of their father, but at least they had each other.

Tiffany's cry of pain got everyone's attention and Yelan laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. Sakura and Touya ran over, Touya taking his wife's hand in his. "What's wrong, babe?"

"I think………" She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"Her water broke." Feimei shouted, looking at her in shock.

"It hurts." Tiffany cried, talking about the contractions.

"What do I do? What I do! WHAT DO I DO!" Touya shouted, starting to become frantic.

"Stop panicking, son!" Yelan retorted. Touya immediately shut up, his face still pale from the shock. "Are you having contractions?"

"Yes………" She nodded, closing her eyes again.

"Take in some deep breaths, count them for me. Touya help her into your car and have Syaoran drive her to the closest hospital. Sakura, you will go with them to keep your brother under control. Xiefa, you will drive Syaoran's car, and the rest are coming with me."

Everyone nodded and started to head out. In the car, Syaoran drove at 70 MPH, Sakura and Tiffany where trying their best to keep Touya calm.

"Not to, uh, you know, be rude or anything. But isn't Touya suppose to be calming Tiffany down? the one who's giving birth?" Syaoran asked, looking in the rear view mirror.

"Shut-up, you brat!" Touya yelled and took in some deep breaths. "Okay, I'm good. How're you doing Tiffany?"

"Better then you." She answered, laying a hand on her stomach.

"Funny, very funny."

When they got into the hospital, they took her in quickly as there was only a man with his wife who had an ice pack on her swollen foot, a teen who was sleeping with a blanket on what looked like to be her older brother or boyfriend, and an old man that looked as if he was waiting for someone.

They laid her on a bed and about 5 hours later, everyone but Touya took their leave. Doctors rushed in as the poor girl was ready to give birth. Touya moved over to her and kissed her head gently. Taking her hand in his, and Sakura taking the other, she smiled at them. "Our new family. Me, you Touya, and the baby. And maybe some other person special?" Tiffany asked as she closed her eyes in pain, but kept a smile. Sakura was oblivious to what she was talking but Touya got it and glared at Tiffany.

"Alright, let's get this done with."

Sakura came running out of the room no more then 30 minutes later with tears in her eyes. She jumped on Syaoran and smiled, hugging him tightly. "It's a healthy baby boy!" She cried. Syaoran, as well as everyone else, smiled and hugged her.

"That's excellent news." Yelan stated.

"That sure was a long wait. Good thing she was only in labor for 5 hours, sheesh, imagine if it was mre then 24 hours!" Feimei cried and Yelan laughed.

"Dear, your little brother here was stubborn as an ass. He didn't want to come out. Took him 37 hours."

"That's Syaoran for you, so stubborn." Sakura smiled at Syaoran as he puled her closely.

"That's right." He smirked.

"Do you wanna see the baby?" Sakura asked and everyone nodded.

"Now girls, you must behave yourself. The child is not even an hour old, don't scare it." Yelan stated.

"Don't scar the baby for it's life." Syaoran smirked and they all glared.

Everyone else laughed as they walked into the room to see the small child.

Sakura smiled lovingly at the little boy and took him from Touya. She rocked him slightly and kissed his nose. "So adorable!" She said softly as the baby was fast asleep.

"Have you come up with a name?" Fanren asked.

"Yeah. We're going to call him Fujitaka." Everyone looked at the couple and smiled.

"That's so sweet. But I'll feel funny saying dad's name." Sakura laughed slightly.

"May I?" She turned to see Syaoran looking at the baby and wanting to hold him.

"Sure." She gently laid the child in his arms and he smiled as he rocked him slightly, just as gentle as Sakura, maybe more.

Yelan smiled and then yawned. "I'm going to take my girls back to the hotel. You should go home as well, I know you two have school tomorrow." She spoke as the girls walked out the door to the car that awaited them.

Syaoran nodded, putting an arm around Sakura's waist as the baby laid comfortably in his other arm.. "We will mother. Thank you for helping us. You should have seen Touya in the car." He shook his head and Sakura nodded.

"Most men are like that. Your father was the same way. You'll probably be the same as well." She told him and he blushed. "Good night, Son. Good night, Ying Fa."

"Good night, Aunt Yelan."

"Good night, Mother." Syaoran, Sakura and Yelan exchanged hugs and she walked out to their separate cars.

Syaoran handed the child back to Touya as Tiffany was fast asleep and waited as Sakura kissed her big brother and little nephew. They walked out and went to the car to drive home.

Upon reaching home, Syaoran made sure that there was no windows open. Sakura took a quick shower and Syaoran did as well. Giving her a gentle and quick kiss, he smiled and hugged her, then watched her go into her room. He sighed and walked into his room, falling on the bed heavily, head first into the pillow. Sighing, he turned over and moved under the blankets.

What was this feeling growing inside him. The whole day, he was drawn to her and her beauty. Her smile, her tears, her happiness, her sadness. Her emerald eyes, her honey brown hair, her soft skin, her beautiful lips that tasted of strawberries. She was so beautiful……….but that wasn't the reason he was being drawn to her. At least not the whole reason.

She was special, and he suddenly wondered why he had never realized that he had actually liked her before. Instead, he felt as if he had hated her, that she was nothing but a girl with a perfect life.

But she wasn't.

She was so far from it, it was ridiculous. She was beaten, her brother lived in another country, and her father was never home, on top of that, she never truly knew her mother.

But that didn't help what he was feeling for her. Things were moving too fast between them. It wasn't a bad thing, but it had to mean something. How can a relationship move so fast unless they were destined to be together? Unless he was in love with her.

His eyes widened and he sat up on bed. Looking out the window at the beautiful moon, he thought about it. Was he in love with her? He couldn't be, right? He had hated her just a short while ago, he had only started dating her how long ago? It couldn't be. He couldn't be in love with her. It was impossible.

And yet, somewhere deep down there, he was fooling himself. He was in love with her, there was no other explanation for it.

And what about the feeling when his mother had spoken about him being frantic about his wife going into labor in the future? Why did he suddenly see a pregnant Sakura trying her best to calm him down as she went into labor, just like Tiffany had done with Touya? It only meant one thing.

He was in love with her. (I originally wanted this to be the end of the chapter, but it's only 7 pages blah, that sucks. Oh well.)

Rika, Tomoyo, Chiharu, and Naoko bombarded Sakura with questions the next day about Tiffany going into labor.

"Was the baby cute?" Tomoyo practically screamed in her face.

"How did Touya react? Was he crying?" Chiharu asked going into starry-eyed mode.

"Did Tiffany say it hurt?" Rika asked, grabbing her arm with wide eyes.

"Was she in so much pain they thought-" Naoko started but Sakura cut them off.

"The baby was so cute! Touya was going fricken nuts, he had tears in his eyes as he cut the umbilical cord. Tiffany was in pain, but she said that it was worth it."

"Wow." Tomoyo thought out loud as Eriol left her side to walk with Syaoran and Yamazaki once he read the expression on his best friends face.

"What's up man?" Eriol asked as they walked out in the sunlight.

"I was………thinking last night. And………I realized something that………might effect the relationship that Sakura and I share." He explained, looking into the sky.

"And what is that?" Takashi asked, looking at Syaoran as well.

"I realized………that I'm in love with Sakura."

"What!" Both boys exclaimed, getting glances from some of their classmates around them.

Syaoran sighed and turned to face them. "I fell in love with her."

"Yeah, we heard you, but what do you mean. You can't be serious can you? I mean………you use to hate her and now-"

"I never hated her!" He sighed once more. "I was jealous damn it! I took everything out on her! I………I was selfish. I thought I hated her………"

Eriol put a hand on his shoulder and some what massaged it, as if trying to get rid of the tension in his shoulders. Patting his back he sighed. "Love is strong. It's hard to get rid of it. Do you want to get rid of it?"

"No………but I want her to accept it. I know she's not at this stage yet, but I'm going to give her some time before I tell her anything."

"That's good."

"What are you doing today after school?" Takashi asked.

Syaoran was about to say nothing when he remembered about him going to take Sakura to the police station. Not only that, he had to get her to tell everyone about what she's been suffering. This was a long week, and it was only Thursday. "Yeah, I'm taking Sakura some where." He explained and they nodded.
