. -. Sakura and Syaoran's place -. -.
They had changed and gotten into bed. "Thanks again for the present." Syaoran said as he hugged Sakura.
"No problem, besides, I was crushed on what to get you, I haven't known you that long."
"The insignia was perfect."
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"Really." Syaoran answered back. They were quiet for a few minutes before Syaoran felt Sakura's breathing go even.
'She's asleep.' He thought as he looked down at her. She looked so peaceful.
He kissed her forehead and smiled. "I love you, my Ying Fa." He said before going to sleep.
Unknown to him, Sakura was dreaming about a special somebody.
"Xiao Lang," she whispered, "I love you…"
Unknown to both of them, Sakura's feelings have surfaced without realization.
.- 3 months later -.
(They haven't told each other that they loved each other in the last 3 months.)
"SYAORAN YOU SON OF A GUN!" Sakura screamed, her voice piercing the house. Tomoyo, Mei Lin, Shoaling, Eriol and Ryu cringed hearing her.
"What did he do this time?" Tomoyo whispered to Mei Lin as Shoaling and Syaoran rushed upstairs.
"I think he messed up Nursery number two." Mei Lin replied snickering.
"Really, how so?"
"He tried to paint it green."
Tomoyo frowned. "Who the hell paints a baby's room green? Baby blue was perfect."
Mei Lin nodded agreeing. "Sakura saw the empty paint cans, and she saw a paint mixer. Luckily, Syaoran didn't start yet."
Tomoyo grinned as she got her Video Camera ready. "This is perfect footage. I'll call it, The King's Sentence."
"Good one." Mei Lin laughed as she gave Tomoyo high five.
"What?" Syaoran asked as he rushed to his bedroom to find his wife sitting there, looking like a mad bull.
"You tried to pain the nursery green, didn't you?" Sakura asked, murderously.
Syaoran shrank as he hid behind his brother. "Um… no?"
"DON'T LIE TO ME! I TOLD YOU NOT PAINT THE NURSERY!" Sakura roared, suddenly, she started crying; she sank to her knees, her exploded stomach, looking bigger than before.
"You… you don't… Syaoran you meanie… you didn't listen to me." Sakura cried, tears spilling out of her eyes. Syaoran groaned. "Stupid emotional shit." He murmured before going to comfort her.
"Aww, baby Sakura… please… I won't paint it…"
"Promise?" Sakura asked looking up.
Syaoran nodded and sighed. "I promise."
Sakura grinned as she got up and hugged him. "Thank you! Now I'm gonna go play." She grinned before running off.
"Play?" Shoaling asked surprised.
Sakura frowned "She's only 18." Syaoran reminded Shoaling before following her downstairs.
Sakura was downstairs playing Chinese checkers with Eriol when Syaoran came down, with a coat.
"Going somewhere?" Sakura asked as she moved her piece.
"Yes we are, all of us in fact, genders today." Syaoran said warmly. Sakura's eyes brightened as she grinned looking at Syaoran.
"Genders?" Sakura squeaked as Syaoran nodded.
Tomoyo sighed sadly. "Why today Syaoran?"
Syaoran and Sakura looked at Tomoyo. "Why?" Sakura asked.
Tomoyo had a few tears fall from her eyes. "I can't be there…"
Sakura frowned. "Doushite?"
"Mama called from Japan. She wants me back there as soon as possible. Seemingly, she wants to meet me before I get married."
Sakura and Syaoran frowned. "Sonomi-san said that? Now?" Syaoran asked.
Tomoyo nodded. "Yea, and I'm leaving tonight."
Sakura jumped and hugged Tomoyo.
"NO! WHY! WHYYYYYYY!" Sakura squeaked as she started crying.
"Yep, emotional alright." Shoaling muttered.
Mei Lin patted Sakura's back. "Don't worry Sakura, we'll be back."
Sakura looked at her. "You're going too?" She asked.
"Only me, Tomoyo and Eriol. Ryu and Shoaling are staying with you."
Sakura sniffled. "Promise?" She said facing Ryu.
Ryu grinned and nodded. "Promise babe." He relied winking at Sakura.
"So, you aren't coming with us then?" Sakura asked as Syaoran helped her put on her coat.
Tomoyo and Mei Lin shook their heads. "Naw, we gotta pack. How about you two go, and after you get the genders, get some baby shopping outta the way. Then come back and tell us the great news." Tomoyo suggested.
Sakura took that thought into consideration and grinned. "Okay! Ja ne!" Sakura said as she hugged Tomoyo and Mei Lin good-bye.
"Better not leave without telling me." Sakura said as she and Syaoran got into his Lexus.
"Ready?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura grinned. "Yea, but I wonder why they didn't tell us earlier."
"Maybe because they didn't want to hurt you. You are pretty emotional."
Sakura sighed. "I guess you're right. Let's go." She said as they left.
.- Doc's -.
Sakura was lying on the bed, with jelly all over her exploded stomach. Syaoran sat on a chair, staring at the screen. Dr. Jenny was reading what was happening.
"Ok, well they're healthy and don't seem to have any physical disabilities." She said fondly. Sakura frowned. "They?" She asked.
Dr. Jenny looked at them bewildered. "Didn't anybody tell you two? You're having twins."
Sakura didn't remember how to breathe. As for Syaoran, he didn't remember how to be alive dammit!
"Twins…" Sakura voice was high pitched and in squeals.
Dr. Jenny grinned and nodded. "Yes, twins."
Syaoran looked like he had seen a ghost, in a good way I mean.
"Can… can we know the… the… genders?" Sakura stuttered.
Dr. Jenny looked back and smiled. "Well, I see a boy."
Syaoran jumped off the chair and pumped his fist in the air. "YES!" He roared.
"Syaoran shut up." Sakura said warningly.
"And his sibling?" Sakura asked.
"A girl." Dr. Jenny replied.
Sakura squealed. "A GIRL?"
"Sakura, shut up." Syaoran said mockingly.
Sakura stuck her tongue out at him.
Dr. Jenny wiped the jelly off of Sakura's stomach and helps her get up. "I suggest you do your baby shopping while you still can, because after a few weeks, your husband will have to carry you."
Sakura grinned. "And the old fart will break his back."
Syaoran pouted as he held Sakura's hand.
"Sayonara." Sakura said as they walked out.
"Wanna go baby shopping now?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura grinned. "You bet."
.-Tomoyo and Crew -.
"I feel sorry for leaving Sakura at such a critical stage." She sniffled as she shoved her shorts in a corner.
"We all do, but your mother wants to meet you and Eriol before we start planning your wedding." Mei Lin comforted.
Tomoyo sighed. "I hope your right…"
"I always am." Mei Lin said cockily as they continued to pack.
.- Syaoran and Sakura -.
They were currently in a store called 'Babies R Us'. They were in the newborn sections looking at all the stuff.
"Good grief, how do people shop for all this?" Sakura asked.
"They have a good idea in what they're doing?" Syaoran replied stupidly.
"And we don't?" Sakura growled. A woman, seemingly in her mid 40's appeared in front of them.
"Hello, need some help?" She asked.
Sakura nodded. "Yea, we're first timers and we're having twins."
The ladies eyes widened as she started at Sakura. "Lucky lady, twins to accompany you in."
Sakura smiled slightly. "Here, look around while I get you a cart." She said as Sakura and Syaoran headed off to the department.
"Leave it to you to get me pregnant with twins." Sakura mumbled.
"Hey, I'm a twin and my sisters are quads." Syaoran said defensively.
Sakura giggled. "No worries, now we have two brats."
"One being you." Syaoran said mockingly. Sakura stuck her tongue out at him and stomped off, to the girl's section.
"Wai, this is kawaii." She murmured as she saw a pair of pyjamas. It was pink with little white bunnies on them.
"I want this." She said as she picked it up and took it to Syaoran. Syaoran on the other hand, had a hand full of clothes.
"Whoa… you really do want a son." Sakura said observing the clothes he had. There were shirts that were green, obviously, with wolves, martial artists, swords; anything the Son of the King could want was there.
Syaoran grinned. "Come on, my first son, I need to spoil him."
"Well you aren't spoiling my daughter."
"Who says she's only yours?"
"Shut it Syaoran."
Syaoran laughed as the lady came back with the cart. Syaoran and Sakura put their items in the cart and continued to look for clothes.
Sakura picked the girls items. Dresses, pants, hair bands, shoes, shirts. Anything a baby girl needed, Sakura got.
Syaoran got the boys items. Pants, shirts, shoes, hats, just about anything Syaoran liked, he got.
Diapers would be given from the hospital, when the twins were born.
Finally, they come to the cribs and beddings section. The lady that was helping them was having a great time; she knew that she'd get extra money from the boss for helping these people. She still is yet to recognize them as King and Queen.
How can she not know who they are? Eh, some people are just plain idiotic.
"Whoa, that's cute." Sakura said pointing to a pair of Dark Oak, cribs. They were on stands, with bars that were carved to perfection. It was covered in pink bedding, with small pillows and a small pink blanket. The second one was in green, matching the pink one.
"I want that…" Sakura said as she trailed her fingers over the top of the bars.
"But it's expensive." She murmured looking at the tag.
Syaoran shrugged. "Don't worry, I'm limitless."
"So you're saying we're getting two cribs with all the bedding."
"Nope, I'm saying we're getting two cribs with all the bedding, but the bedding is in four sets."
Sakura's eyes widened. "FOUR?" She shrilled.
"Hey, I don't want my kids to sleep in dirty bedding."
Sakura sighed. "I suppose you're right."
So the two bought bottles, pacifiers, everything.
Finally, after hours, and hours, the two paid for everything. They'd all come delivery next week.
Sakura and Syaoran drove home, talking about what a day they had.
"I swear we spent to much." Sakura murmured.
"Come on, we're King and Queen, our kids deserve the best."
"For two year and a half years." Sakura pointed out.
Syaoran frowned. "Sakura, forget about the stupid contract now ok? We don't have to drag the twins into it just yet."
Sakura sighed, mentally agreeing with him.
"So, think of names yet?" Syaoran asked.
"Me and Tomoyo, as I told you before, were going for the names Taihen and Taiyou, but I was thinking, the names Ying and Yang would be cute."
Syaoran chuckled. "Ying and Yang?"
"Yea, so? It does work…"
"I would, but then you're implying the fact that our son is Yang."
"So, he's your brat." Sakura mumbled, giggling at the same time.
Syaoran chuckled. "We'll decide on names when we get home. Here, take my cell and tell our parents about the twins. Tomoyo and them will know when we get home."
That's what Sakura did. Yelan and Xenon were ecstatic to hear that they were having two grand children. A boy and a girl. Touya and Nadesiko were equally hyped up.
Fanran, Fuutie, Feimiel and Sheifa went to Kawaii lockdown mode and Sakura swore her eardrums broke.
Finally, they reached home.
Sakura walked in and found Tomoyo, Mei Lin, Shoaling, Eriol and Ryu sitting on the sofa, waiting for them.
"WELL?" Tomoyo shrieked.
"Twins, girl and boy."
Hell broke loose… in literal terms.
Tomoyo couldn't stop squealing, Mei Lin too. Eriol, Syaoran, Shoaling and Ryu got headaches.
Finally, they stopped.
"What are you naming them?" Mei Lin asked.
"I wanted Taihen and Taiyou, but then again, me and Syaoran want Ying and Yang." Sakura said, as Syaoran nodded in agreement.
"We can mix it." Tomoyo said.
Everybody looked at her.
"Taihen Yang Li, Taiyou Ying Li." Tomoyo said smugly.
Everybody laughed. "I like it!" Sakura giggled.
Syaoran chuckled, "Me too."
The day ended pretty swiftly, and they were all at the airport biding their friends' farewell.
"Bye!" Sakura cried as she hugged Mei Lin and Tomoyo.
They cried too, but finally, it was time to leave.
.- Home -.
Sakura had calmed down and they had come home, Ryu and Shoaling retired to their rooms, ready to sleep. Sakura and Syaoran too went to their room.
They snuggled into bed as Syaoran wrapped his arm around Sakura's stomach.
"My kids." Syaoran smiled. Sakura laughed. Syaoran moved his head into Sakura's neck, his arm still around her stomach.
They both shut their eyes, expecting nothing, until Sakura felt something against her stomach and Syaoran felt it against his hand. They both opened their eyes, looked at each other and then at Sakura's stomach.
Sakura squealed. "They kicked!"
Syaoran couldn't believe it. His brats just kicked, and right when they were about to go to sleep too.
"Oh my gosh, they kicked!" Sakura squealed again as she placed a hand on her stomach, in time to feel another thump.
Syaoran smirked. "Mommy and Daddy are so close, that's why."
Sakura laughed as she snuggled in closer to Syaoran.
"I can't wait… two…" Sakura hummed as Syaoran's hair tickled her neck.
"Neither can I." Syaoran replied casually as he slightly tightened his grip around her stomach.
"Syao-kun," Sakura whispered.
"Hmmm?"
"You said I can go to school."
Syaoran's eyes snapped open. "You're 4 months pregnant, you want to go to school?"
"But you said, it's mid October, and I didn't want to bother you about it until I really wanted to…"
Syaoran frowned. "Sakura, what if something happens."
"You can keep a bodyguard with me, or around me. How about until I reach 6th month pregnancy?" Sakura compromised.
"We'll see."
Sakura pouted. "Every time you say, we'll see, it's a no."
Syaoran sighed, "But I don't want anything happening to your or the twins."
Sakura kissed him, soundly on the lips. "I promise," she whispered, "that nothing will happen."
Syaoran looked dazed by the kiss. He leaned forward and kissed Sakura again. "Ok then Queen Ying Fa, I'll let you know tomorrow."
"Promise?"
"Promise," Syaoran chuckled.
"Night Syao-kun."
"Night, Cherry Blossom."
And the two drifted into dreams, dreams about happiness, paradise… and love.
This is a short chapter, yes… but it was cute nonetheless neh? Hehe, did you like it? The baby shopping is done, the genders, and the names… what more? Ah yes… Hiro.
He is out in a chapter or two… just as a prior warning so you all dun die of a heart attack when he comes… and then I have to fulfill the promise he made to Syaoran, that Syaoran WILL hand Sakura to him…
How will he manage to do that? Stay tuned!
Lub,
Sakura
