This is my last chapter…I'm sooo sad. It's like giving up ones child…sob you'll see in this chapter why I didn't call Ruby by her two names. Thank you to all who have read so faithfully. I want all of you to know that I have another CCS story in the works and I hopefully will get it up soon. So from one CCS lover to another, the power of imagination burns within all of you, it burns with the power of all your hearts. This is BeautyandYue over and out.-BeautyandYue
Last time: Two minds drawing apart. Night becomes Day! Sakura shouted as blindingly white light filled the area.
Four years later… "Julian, I'm going to kill you for putting this in me!" Nakuru Star hollered at Julian in the delivery room.
Yue Star ducked his head, glancing at his wife sitting next to him. "Glad I got the calm one."
Ruby Star peeked up at Yue through her lashes then resumed fixing her rose-colored twin buns on top of her head. " I wouldn't say that if I were you." She replied finally satisfied with her hair. "You will have to go through the same thing. Only double."
Placing a hand on Ruby's protruding stomach, Yue smiled, as he usually did now, "I wouldn't dream of it." and leaned his head down to give her a lingering kiss.
"Get a room why dontcha?" Sakura trotted over to the bench and plopped down next to her moon guardian, Yue now had a human body all his own and he still could revert to his immortal body when he needed to. Which now a days was barely at all.
Lee shook his head at his fiancés remark, smiling he sat down next to her, stretching out his long legs in front of him. "Has she had the baby yet?"
"No, not yet." Yue said shaking his head, shoulder length white hair swinging in a loose ponytail, as another scream filled the hall.
Eli and Madison came in next. Sakura looked at Lee, batting her eyelashes at him she asked sweetly. "Lee, would you please move so Madison can sit next to me?"
Lee sighed making a big show of it; he got up, letting Madison have his seat; Lee moved over to Eli. Madison giggled at Lee's silliness as she sat down next to Sakura, crossing slim legs under a white peasant skirt. "When's your next shoot?" she asked. Sakura and Madison had recruited right out of high school by high-end model agencies. Sakura really enjoyed working as a model but Madison used it to get her own fashion company started.
"Not for a while, thank goodness." Sakura laughed in relief, twirling a strand of her newly cut hair. She had it cut to the length she had in elementary school. "Oh, I was wondering if you and Eli would like to come over for dinner tonight? Tori and Meilin are coming in and he says they have a surprise to tell us."
Madison's eyes twinkled in anticipation as she asked, ideas floating around her head already, "Do you think he?"
"Yup."
"Oh good." Madison breathed tucking a strand of her wavy, waist length black hair behind her ear.
"Hey man, could you at least quit ogling your wife for one second?" Lee teased Eli, nudging him with an elbow.
Eli just grinned and elbowed back. "Like you haven't been watching Sakura this whole time either." Lee grinned back at him as they watched the two young women talk and giggle with each other. Eli turned to Lee crossing his arms. "So when's the wedding?"
"Not till Christmas. Sakura wants a Christmas wedding." Lee said crossing his arms also.
Eli thought out loud. "That's only four months away."
Lee chuckled at him. "Glad to see that you can count Mr. CEO." Eli laughed out loud. Eli was a big time CEO of the toy company Madison's mom ran then handed it over to Madison and Eli as a wedding gift when they had gotten married four months ago. Madison was the president while Eli was vise.
Lee was a major martial arts instructor while Sakura was a high-end model. Tori had become an archeologist like Aiden, who had unfortunately passed away in his sleep two years ago. No one felt the loss more than Eli. For Eli felt like he had lost part of him. Meilin was a kindergarten teacher at the local school in Hong Kong where she and Tori lived together. Yue with his dashing good looks, was an up an coming actor while Ruby was a candle shop owner. Julian was the proud owner of a antique book shop in Tokyo while Nakuru, that was the name she had taken after her and Ruby had split, was happy becoming a mother very shortly.
Eli turned to say something to Lee when Nakuru yelled again, "I'd like to see you push something the size of a watermelon through a hole the size of a lemon!" she cried out one last time before a different wailing filled the hall. Everyone perked up at the sound. Ruby tightened her hand clasped in Yue's hand.
Ten minutes later a stressed out and tired looking Julian pushed open the door to the room. "You can come in to see but you have to be quiet." Yue helped Ruby up as they filed silently into the room.
Nakuru smiled tiredly as Sakura and the others came in, holding a small pink bundle. "It's a girl." She whispered as Julian sat on the edge of the hospital bed, to tuck a strand of matted long brown hair behind her ear.
"She's beautiful." Ruby told her, hand on her own belly thinking of the ones that would come later in the month. Nakuru smiled at her other half.
Sakura asked, " What are you going to call her?"
"I believe we're going to call her Salena Sakura Ruby." Nakuru said, looking down at her sleeping face.
"That's beautiful." Madison said, filming away.
Then it dawned on Nakuru that it might not be what Julian wanted. She looked up at her husband confusedly. "Right?" she asked.
Julian smiled at the two most beautiful creatures in the room. "I think that would be appropriate." He said and kissed her forehead.
