Gomen nasai! I'm really sorry for not updating soon because I'm really busy and I almost forgot about this story! Don't worry, I'll try to update soon next time! I'm sorry!

As I said in the previous chapter, when I didn't update soon, you can kill me now! You can if you know where I am. Hahahahahahahahah!

Summary
Eriol and Tomoyo met because of Eriol's daughter. Since they were both friends, they told each other their problems. They didn't know that the solution is just in each other (and Eriol's daughter).

Chapter Four
Having Fun

"Well Tomoe, where do you wanna go first?" Tomoyo asked.

"Can we go to the toy store first mommy? I mean, if you don't want to, its okay." Tomoe replied.

Tomoyo giggled. "Sure we can. Right Eriol?" she asked looking at Eriol.

"Of course," Eriol smiled.

Tomoe released her hands from Eriol and Tomoyo and jumped up and down. "Yay! Come on, let's go." she said while running up to the store.

Tomoyo giggled as she and Eriol ran up to catch up with their daughter.

Once Tomoe went in, she bumped into a tall guy. She looked up and apologized, "Ah...gomen..." Eriol and Tomoyo finally caught up with her and saw that she bumped into a guy. Eriol looked at the guy and said, "Xiao Lang! Nice to meet you."

The guy named Xiao Lang turned his head and saw Eriol standing there.

"Eriol! Good to see you as well!" Syaoran said.

Tomoyo helped Tomoe get up and dust off her dress. "Are you okay?" Tomoyo asked motherly and Tomoe nodded gleefully. She then held Tomoyo's hand before going to Eriol. Before Eriol could've noticed them, an auburn-haired girl noticed them first.

"Tomoyo! Tomoe! Nice seeing you here." the woman said.

Tomoyo and Tomoe looked in the direction where they heard the voice call them. Tomoyo smiled when she saw her best friend approaching her. "Sakura!" she called.

Sakura went to them and said to Tomoe, "My Tomoe, you've grown much from the last time I saw you." she commented. "So Tomoyo, what brings you here?" she asked.

"Tomoe wanted to go here so we permitted her to." Tomoyo replied.

"'We'?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, that's right. Eriol's here as well."

"Oh."

Suddenly, 2 kids went up and clung to Sakura's arms.

"Mommy! Check out what I found!" the boy said.

"No mommy! Look what I found!" the girl said.

"Now, now you two. Xeng, why don't you take your father with you? Yinna will go with me." Sakura ordered.

The kids named Li Xeng and Li Yinna were twins you see. They're the same age as Tomoe. Actually, they're classmates. Xeng really looked like his father when he was young. Yinna also looked like her mom but has hazel eyes and her elbow-length hair was auburn but with chestnut brown streaks. If you look closely, Xeng looked murderous when he glares at you while Yinna really looks cheerful in each side of her.

Xeng went to his father. Yinna noticed Tomoe there and smiled. "Tomoe!"

Tomoe just smiled at her. "Konnichiwa, Yinna-chan."

Yinna held her hand and said, "Why don't you come with me? Can she mommy?" she asked her mother.

"Can I mommy?" Tomoe asked Tomoyo.

"Sure baby. Don't go too long okay? Just around this store." Tomoyo said.

"Hai!" Tomoe nodded and then looked around with her friend.

"You seem to be doing fine as a mother." Sakura commented.

"Huh? How did you know I'm Tomoe's mother? And how come you're not surprised?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well," she started as they went to a table and sat there. "Let's just say it's a secret about your past."

"Ooookay," Tomoyo said.

"Dad, come with me! I'm going to show you something awesome!" Xeng said while holding his father's hand. Eriol went to Tomoyo and Sakura and sat with them.

Syaoran looked at his wife, Sakura and she said, "Don't spoil Xeng, Syaoran!" she said.

"I'll try," Syaoran replied as he went around with Xeng.

"Where's Tomoe, Tomoyo?" Eriol asked sitting beside her since Sakura is across Tomoyo.

"She's just around with Yinna looking at some stuff." Tomoyo replied.

"Oh." Eriol said.

"Excuse me guys, I'll just go to the bathroom." Sakura excuse herself.

"Okay." Tomoyo said.

Eriol was watching Syaoran and Xeng play with each other with some toys. He then whispered to Tomoyo, "Hey, when can we have a boy?" he asked.

Tomoyo looked at him and blushed when she saw his famous wisdom smirk.

"Well?" Eriol teased.

Tomoyo then also smirked and said, "How about we start now?" she whispered seductively as she traced her fingers along Eriol's jaw line and her other hand was tracing his chest.

"Sure." Eriol said as he wrapped his arms around Tomoyo's waist and leaned in. Tomoyo also leaned in and they were closer and closer and closer and closer until Tomoyo whispered in his ear, "You're an idiot Eriol." she said while she pulled away from Eriol's hold.

"Aww! And it was pretty close as well!" Eriol whined whilst Tomoyo giggled and placed her forefinger on his lips.

"Next time, I promise... if there's a next time..." Tomoyo said.

Yinna and Tomoe came back and saw Eriol and Tomoyo sitting in the table. Yinna then asked, "Umm... auntie, where's mommy?" Yinna asked.

"Oh, she only went to the bathroom." Tomoyo replied.

"I'm back!" Sakura said. "Sorry I took so long." she apologized.

"Why don't you two sit down for awhile," Tomoyo said to Yinna and Tomoe.

"'Kay!" Yinna and Tomoe chorused as they sat down.

"What took you so long Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.

"I got a phone call from Yinna and Xeng's teacher," Sakura replied.

"Oh? What did she say?" Tomoyo asked.

"Yeah mommy, what did Utaru-sensei told you?" Yinna asked while Tomoe sat on her father's lap.

"Well, nothing concerns about Yinna but Xeng has been naughty again in school. Xeng got into another fight and this time it's with a girl." Sakura said.

"He really is a replica of Syaoran, don't you agree?" Tomoyo giggled.

"Hey! It's not funny." pouted Syaoran from behind which made the girls giggle.

Tomoyo looked at Xeng and he too had his bottom lip in a pouting way. She then saw a paper bag being held by Xeng.

"What's in the bag?" Tomoyo asked.

"Well Xeng really wants this remote control car even though he already has lots in his room." Syaoran explained.

"Demo otousan! It's a collection!" Xeng whined.

Sakura slapped Syaoran in the arm. "I told you not to spoil him. Look what have you done." she said.

"Oh come on, you know I'm limitless." Syaoran said.

"True but that doesn't mean you can just buy him whatever he wants." Sakura glared at him.

"This should be fun," Tomoyo smiled.

Sakura 'hmph'ed and stuck her nose in the air and ignored Syaoran. She then looked at Yinna and said, "Come on Yinna, why don't we go get some supper?"

"Okay! I'm hungry." Yinna replied.

"We'll come too." Tomoyo said as she stood up with Eriol and Tomoe.

"Sure." Sakura said while she was holding Yinna's hand. "Where do you wanna eat?"

"Anywhere that has dumplings and noodles." Eriol said.

"Yeah," Tomoe said.

"Okay let's go find some place." Sakura said leaving her husband and son in the toy store.

"Aww that sucks!" Syaoran said while Xeng frowned.

Xeng don't really want that so he ran after her sister and said to her mother, "Okaasan, gomen nasai. I won't do it again I'm promise!"

Sakura raised a brow and said, "Really?"

Xeng nodded.

"Okay then." Sakura said.

"How about Otousan?" Xeng asked.

"It depends if he wanna come." Sakura said loud enough so Syaoran can hear it.

Syaoran groaned and went to her and wrapped his arms around her slim waist.

"Of course I wanna come," Syaoran said and kissed Sakura's cheek.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Tomoyo said as he covered Tomoe's eyes. "Get a room you guys and set a good example for the kids!"

"Sorry," Syaoran squeaked and let go of Sakura but not before whispering, "We'll continue this later in our room." he smirked. Sakura blushed and pushed away from Syaoran.

Yinna and Tomoe giggled since Tomoyo's hands were already out of her eyes.

Eriol just sniggered in the background while Xeng was shocked wide-eyed.

Tomoyo then said, "Okay, so where are we going to eat?"
