Present Time
"XIAOHU! [Little Fox] GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" yelled a pregnant woman with emerald eyes and auburn hair, while she tapped her fingers on the banister impatiently. [Give you one guess to who that is =P]
Raising an eyebrow, a chestnut hair and amber eyes man rested on the wall lazily and looked at the woman teasingly, "Do you really think you should be stressing, Sakura-koi? You're pregnant remember that." He grinned, as he teased her. "Must be careful..."
Turning around quickly, Sakura turned her glare from the stairs to the man quickly, "You better be quiet too...just because we are having special guests over, doesn't mean you can get fresh with me, young man!"
Holding his hands up in a defensive way, "Okay okay...calm down darling..." Syaoran said, faking to be fearful, but was just amused by his wife's mood swings.
"MOM!!!! XIAOLONG [Little Dragon] STOLE MY SHIRT!!!" Xiaohu yelled, running down the stairs loudly, chest bare for the world to see. (Mega cutie!! )
"Xiaohu, march right back up to your room and put on some decent clothes." Sakura exclaimed, as she gave her 6 years old son a light glare.
"Hey!!! Look at the mini man!!" Came a laughing voice, making everyone in the hallway turn around to face a man with pitch black hair and glacier blue eyes, also known as Jamie Lee.
Xiaohu glared at his so-called uncle, as he flexed his arms, pouting, "I'm not mini!!"
"I see you've been working out, Mini Xiaolang." Another voice said, as a man with azure hair and sapphire eyes stepped into the hallway with his arms wrapped around his wife, Tomoyo.
"Of course he has been! He is my son after all, Eriol." Syaoran said proudly, with a small, pleased smile on his face.
"I have my daddy's genes! Working out is just part of our blood." Xiaohu said, as he ran over to his father, just in time for Syaoran pick him up.
"Wow Sakura, I have no idea how you can handles all these macho men?" came Mei Lin's amused voice, as she walked into the room and wrapped her arms around Jamie.
"What is everyone doing in here?" Sakura asked, blinking and looking around to see all her closest friends, smiling.
"Well, this is your baby shower after all, Sakura." Tomoyo said gently, smiling at her. "All the guests are quite worried, Sakura. They haven't even seen the soon to be mother for a while." Tomoyo teases.
Pouting, Sakura sighed and looked up the stairs before shed looked down at her son and husband, "They won't even allow me to leave. I mean just look at them, they haven't even changed yet!!"
"Calm down, Ying Fa. Don't get so stressed out, I'll get the boys to behave and get dressed, okay? You just go outside with Tomoyo and Mei Lin and enjoy the party that has been made just for you." Syaoran said gently, walking over to Sakura and kissed her softly on the lips before he walked up the stairs with Xiaohu in his arms, catching Xiaolong right before he fell off the stairs from the top. My family tends to be a bit messy when it comes to these kind of occasions...
Walking out together with Tomoyo and Mei Lin while the guys stayed inside to wait for Syaoran and her sons, Sakura looked around her backyard, gasping softly. Usually her backyard would just have a few tables, a pool, flowers, and trees, but today was a different story.
She looked around and saw all the white, lavender, carnation, and eggshell colored clothed tables with flowers in the middle. Small lights, shaped like stars; strung up on the house and walls, sparkled, casting a dim light down on the guests. She looked at her pool and was shocked, seeing it has been renovated to look like an ancient Roman pool.
Most of the guests were lounging around the lighted pool, talking and playing around. There was two small statues of little boys on each four corners of the pool, holding arrows and faking to be cupids, water sprouting out of their private parts, and sprinkling people with water. (Sheena insisted on that part -.-) [Imagine if it wasn't water and it was the real thing????] (Ew..)
On the side of the yard was a big table, covered with all her gifts. Different sizes of gifts, from big to small, wide to thin, long and short, covered the long red clothed, decorated table. There was a red cushioned chair with a golden back and legs by the table of gifts. Her favorite thing of all was that all the Sakura trees in her backyard were in full bloom, showering the marbled floors with light pink flower petals and also lightly covering the water in the pool.
"Who did all this?" Sakura asked, silently shocked while she turned around to look her best friends.
"Who else do you think? Your loving and romantic Romeo, of course!" Mel Lin teased, using her nickname for Syaoran, as she smiled happily at the shocked Sakura.
"How much did he spent on me?! I remember telling him to just give me a simple baby shower..." Sakura said, her eyes wide and filled with tears of happiness.
"I think this is his way of simple, honey. You know how Syaoran can be when it comes to something for you." Tomoyo said, making Sakura remember to give her husband a special thank you kiss tonight.
Sighing, Mei Lin looked around the backyard, "Why can't Jamie be this romantic? All he does is get a cake and said, "surprise!" jumping out of the closet and scaring 10 years of my life away!"
"Well that's Jamie for you. You always knew that Jamie was more of the fun, laidback person than the creative kind. For my baby shower, all Eriol did for me was decorate the house badly, make me clean it up after the party was done, giving me a priceless and worthless ring, and saying good night, saying he had an important meeting the next day." Tomoyo sighed. "At least you got cake Mei Lin! Be happy!!!" Tomoyo added, as she glared at her friend.
"I'm definitely happy now...jeez, all he got you was a worthless ring? Poor you, Tomoyo. Your man can't do anything beside business and making money." Mei Lin said, patting Tomoyo on the shoulder gently. "It'll be all okay after me and Sakura beat some sense into that husband of yours."
"Five bucks says that Syaoran will shower Sakura with gifts and will treat her right unlike us." Tomoyo said, holding out her hand to shake Mei Lin's.
"DO YOU THINK I'M THAT DUMB? OF COURSE SYAROAN WILL DO THAT!!!" Mei Lin yelled, making Tomoyo and Sakura laugh. "Not to mention, he'll probably do more than that and make all of us shock and Sakura to cry." Mei Lin added, smiling. "He is my cousin after all..."
"Okay, fine, instead of five bucks, lets make it fifty bucks on the fact that he'll know about this conversation and tell the others." Tomoyo challenged, sighing, making Mei Lin raise an eyebrow.
"Fine then! You're on!" Mei Lin said, shaking Tomoyo's extended hand.
Syaoran sighed weakly, How could my children be so wild? I was always a well- behaved child when I was young; they probably got that from Sakura then...
"Daddy, daddy, where's mommy?" 3 year old, Xiaolong asked, as he looked up at his father and tugging on sleeve.
Rubbing his forehead with one hand, Syaoran looked down at his youngest son calmly, "Well, mommy's outside and right now we're planning to go out if your brother would just behave..." Syaoran said, glancing at Xiaohu, who was struggling with his shirt.
"But dad...!!! The shirt hurts my Xiaohu's apple..." Xiaohu said, tugging at his collar.
"For the last time, Xiaohu, it's not named after every individual." Syaoran said, as he smiled at seeing how dense his son was.
"Then why is it called Adam's apple...? It was named after him right????" Xiaohu asked, blinking his wide emerald eyes up at his father as they walked out to the backyard, seeing all the guests spread out across the yard.
"Ahh... well... I'll explain it to you one day... now, go along with your brother and play with your cousins." Syaoran said, patting his sons' head, as they both smiled at him before they ran off to their cousins.
"Okay fine, instead of five bucks, lets make it fifty bucks on the fact that he'll know about this conversation and tell the others." Tomoyo challenged, sighing, making Mei Lin raise an eyebrow.
"Fine then! You're on!" Mei Lin said, shaking Tomoyo's extended hand.
Just then, Eriol and Jamie both jumped out, into the backyard, laughing like maniacs as they drank their beers and stopped near Syaoran, handing him a can of beer. Shaking his head, Syaoran gave back the beer to Eriol, "Unlike you two, I have to care for my children...I don't want them drowning in the water with me drunk off my ass with you guys later on. Besides, Sakura would kill me afterwards."
"What are you talking about? Tomoyo, Mei Lin, and Sakura can take care of the kids. Hello, it's men's time now! We've been working too much anyways. We should rest a bit and lounge around." Eriol said, handing Syaoran back his beer, raising an eyebrow when Syaoran just took the beer and gave to Jamie, who just then drank it all down in one gulp.
"Why don't you two sit near the pool...? Don't get too drunk and hopefully not act like the little cupids on the sides of the pool." Syaoran said, as he looked around for the most important woman in his life, laughing and talking with some of her friends.
Blinking to clear his vision a bit, Jamie looked up at Syaoran, giving off a goofy smile, "What are you talking about, man? We're not getting drunk! We're just having the time of our lives!" Jamie said, laughing and hanging off of Eriol.
Raising an eyebrow, Eriol looked down at Jamie, who had his hand on his shoulder, "Umm...I think I get what you're talking about, Syaoran..." Eriol said, sighing as he helped Jamie walk to the poolside with him and Syaoran, before he sat down in one of the seats lined up by the pool. "I think Mei Lin is going to whip Jamie's ass for this..."
"No kidding...just make sure she doesn't see him until his head clears up a bit then." Syaoran said while glancing over at the two before going back to looking at Sakura silently. "Now if you would excuse me... I have to talk to my lovely wife." Syaoran added, walking away from Eriol and Jamie; but not before telling one of the waiters to bring Jamie some water and an Advil.
"So Sakura... I think saw your children. They're looking more and more like Syaoran each day. My, you are going to have a handful with those two little Romeos. Hopefully they won't go around hitting on girls all day long like what Syaoran did when he was younger." Yelan said, smiling at her daughter in law.
"Believe me Yelan... I'm going to teach them how to behave and how to treat girls right. I'm sure Syaoran will discipline them also." Sakura said, smiling, unaware of the person walking towards her from behind.
Smiling, Syaoran sneaked up behind Sakura silently, wrapping his arms around her slightly rounded waist while resting his chin on her shoulder, kissing her neck gently. "So, how is my lovely wife today?" Syaoran murmurs into her ear before looking at his mother, smiling softly. "H'llo, mother..."
"Hello Syaoran. I hope you two aren't doing anything that you're not supposed to. Sakura is 8 months pregnant son." Yelan said jokingly; she was so proud of her son.
"Believe me mother, Sakura won't let me do anything these last 8 months. It's been so gloomy and dreadful. Sometimes, I wish the baby would just come out now." Syaoran said, making Sakura blush.
"I don't think the baby liked what you said... she's starting to kick." Sakura said, taking Syaoran's hand and placed it on her bulged stomach.
"I can tell..." Syaoran said, smiling happily and rubbed Sakura's stomach gently. "I think she got her energy from you.." Syaoran added, winking at Sakura playfully.
"Syaoran! Your mother is right there..." Sakura muttered, blushing red from Syaoran's comment.
"Oh, yes! I remember I promised to let you feel the baby, right mother?" Syaoran asked, winking at his mother, chuckling.
"Mmmhmm...yes I believe you have." Yelan said softly, smiling at Sakura before pressing her hand gently on Sakura' stomach. "You're certainly right, my granddaughter is going to be very energetic, isn't she?"
"You know... I think I want more little Sakuras running around my house." Syaoran commented, making all the people around them understood what he meant.
"You know son... you might be 30, but you have a mind of an 18 year old." Yelan said, as everyone heard a bell and turned over to see Tomoyo and Mei Lin near the gift table.
Waving her arms, Mei Lin smiled warmly at everyone, "Thank you for coming to the one and only Sakura Li's baby shower! I'm sure she appreciates all the gifts that you have given and as you can see, it is time to open them. So, Syaoran please lead your wife over here to the gift table!" Mei Lin said, smiling and waving Syaoran and Sakura over.
"I know, I know, I'm not that dumb, Mei Lin. I have done this once already." Syaoran said, smiling and taking Sakura's hand, holding it tightly but gently while he led her over the table, setting her down on the chair to sit by her pile of gifts.
Smiling softly, Sakura looked fondly at her husband who moved to rest on the back of her chair to watch her open her gifts. "You guys shouldn't have wasted so much money on me!" Sakura exclaimed and blinked quickly, looking at the huge pile of gifts. "There's so many, I have no idea what to open first."
"Just to show you how much we all care for you, Sakura." Syaoran said, smiling down at his wife, as he ran his hand gently through her hair; loving the way it felt. "Now, go on, start unwrapping. You have a loooong way to go, Ying Fa."
Smiling, Eriol nodded, "That is definitely true, my friend. You really have A LOT of gifts, I mean wow...even I didn't get Tomoyo this many gifts!"
"You hardly got me any gifts at all!" Tomoyo yelled at him, shaking her head before she smiled at Sakura. "Could you open Eriol and my gift first?" She asked while she handed Sakura a beautifully wrapped box.
Nodding, Sakura accepted the gift and held it gently in her hands. Placing it on her lap so she could take off the wrapping, she blinked when she see the set of baby bottles, clothes, a bib, and a rattle. "Wow, Tomoyo, Eriol! Thank you! I really need these things, I didn't even get them yet...thanks..." Sakura said, smiling happily at her old time friends. "You're so great...all of you..." Sakura said, biting her lip gently while blinking away tears that were daring to spill.
"Of course we are, hun! Now, it's our turn, Sakura." Mei Lin said, walking over to Sakura when she finally found her gift, waving for Jamie to bring it over. "Hope you like it!" She added, winking.
"Why wouldn't I? I would love anything you guys gave me, it's the thought that counts." Sakura said, smiling cutely while she watched as Jamie went behind the gift table and moved some things away before pulling something out and rolling it towards Sakura and Syaoran.
"I'll take one guess to see what it is." Syaoran joked, as everyone laughed seeing a stroller wrapped beautifully in a pink wrapping paper.
"Syaoran, can you please help me... I can't bend down that much..." Sakura said cutely, making Syaoran wink. "But you can bend down 8 months before." he whispered, making Sakura blush like crazy, as she slapped him on the chest playfully. He moved away from the chair and began to rip the wrapping paper off. When he was finally done, both Syaoran and Sakura both grasped at the stroller that Mei Lin and Jamie got them.
The stroller was a mixture of pink and purple, with cherry blossoms plastered all over the cart. The seat was shaped like a cherry blossom petal and was extra comfy. On the front, engraved in gold said, "I'm daddy's little girl, but I still love mommy." There was a covering for the baby incase it rained or it was too sunny. On the front, where kids usually played, there was a little ball to roll around, little stars that could be moved, and little teddy bears that lit up when the baby would touch it.
"Well, looks like someone didn't expect that..." Syaoran teased, looking at the shocked Sakura. "Don't go freezing on us like that Ying Fa, you still have a bunch more to go! And hopefully, you won't be shocked for each of them." Syaoran said, chuckling.
"Oh be quiet Syaoran...I'm just really happy that's all... thank you, Jamie, Mei Lin." Sakura said, smiling warmly at all her friends.
"Yup! Of course you are, with me here, how could you be anything else?" Jamie said, joking around, while standing behind Mei Lin, wrapping his arms around her waist gently.
Wrinkling her nose, Mei Lin turned around, glaring at Jamie, "You didn't drink did you?"
Shaking his head, Jamie smiled innocently at her, "Nahhh, I wouldn't dare think of going against your almighty rule!" Jamie chirped, smiling cutely at her.
"You better not!" Mei Lin scolded, making everyone laugh before turning around and smiling sheepishly at Sakura.
"Liar..." both Syaoran and Eriol coughed out, making everyone laugh, and Jamie to glare at them two men. "I'm the not the only one who drank. It was Eriol too!" Jamie countered, making Eriol paler than what he already was and felt a glared placed on him, but it wasn't from Syaoran, this person he was really scared of... and it was his wife, Tomoyo.
"I thought I told you that drinking was bad for you! You have a baby boy that you have to take care of... and not to mention, a wife! What the hell were you thinking about when you drank?" Tomoyo yelled at Eriol as all eyes were drawn to them.
"Uh... sweetie... people are staring." Eriol said quietly, as Tomoyo turned to look at all the guest and smile innocently. "Sorry Sakura, Syaoran. I got a little carried away." She apologized.
"Yeah, sorry too for interrupting your time, I just had to make sure if my idiot husband didn't do anything stupid like pissing in the pool..." Mei Lin added, making Jamie blush.
"But I didn't d-"Jamie started, but was stopped by Mei Lin's hand in his face."Be quiet!" Mei Lin hissed. "Everyone is waiting so we could continue!"
"Awww...fine..." Pouting, Jamie nodded.
"Thank you!!!" Sakura called out to everyone after she finished up with her presents, close to crying because of how happy she was. "I don't know what to say, you really shocked me with all you gifts. I wish I could do something to repay all of you for this!"
"No need to! This is our way of saying how much we all love you, Sakura!" Tomoyo said, smiling happily at Sakura while everyone nodded.
"And we're hoping to have more baby showers soon." A friend of Sakura's said, making Sakura blush.
"Ah... don't worry, we're both still young. You'll be here for more baby showers in the future." Syaoran said out loud, making the backyard fill with laughter.
Biting her lips Sakura, smiled happily while blushing hearing how much her husband wanted her. She had no idea how much she loved him, but her love was bigger than the world. She didn't want to think of what she would do if he left her, but that would never happen. She knew that he loved her, just as much as she loved him. She smiled at everyone until she looked down at her two sons who were running towards her, their arms open wide.
"Mommy! Mommy!" They both yelled out while running towards her, wrapping their arms around her once they reached her.
"Mommy, we wanna know something!" Xiaohu said, pouting up at her, giving her the puppy eyes.
Raising an eyebrow at her son, Sakura asked, "What is it, sweetheart?"
"Some kids were talking about how their parents got together. Me and Xiaolong want to know how you and daddy got together!" Xiaohu said, pouting more while glancing between his parents, smiling happily.
"Mmm...I think we should tell them...we never did anyways..." Syaoran said, smiling at Sakura softly. "Besides, if we do explain it now, there won't be any need for explaining it when they actually understand it. And I'm sure everyone here wants to know, seeing how only you, me, Eriol, Tomoyo, Jamie, and Mei Lin knows the full story. Everyone else just probably heard a smaller version..."
Sighing, Sakura smiled and looked at her husband, asking if they should, but from the warm look that Syaoran gave her, she knew it was time. Slowly, the kids let go of her leg, as they sat down right next to her. Sakura got up when Syaoran walked over to her and sat down on a chair; pulling Sakura down to sit on her lap.
"Do you remember this was the first time we ever met face to face like this?" Syaoran asked, making Sakura giggle, remembering how naive she was when she fell into Syaoran's lap.
She looked at her audience as she smiled at them and said, "Well...it sort of started out like this..."
