Summary: Sakura was an orphan, no-one knew of where she lived, bar her best friend Tomoyo. The populars isolate her because it's rare for her to have a genuine smile, who could blame her; after all, her whole family was dead, plus she was always late. But, when a new boy comes to school and finds out Sakura's secret, what will he do? Mock her? Help her? Reject her? Teach her there's more to life? Make her life hell? or Love her?
Last time:"Can we find out the genders?"
"Indeed we can," the Midwife replied. "Would you like to know?" Syaoran took Sakura's hand and the pair nodded. "Ok, one moment then." After some more movement of the scanner, the Midwife smiled. "As you can see," She pointed to parts of the whiteness on the screen. "You are going to be having a little girl and a little boy. Congratulations."
Tomoyo beamed. "Lots of clothes to make. Congrats you two." But both were still stunned, as one they spoke.
"Twins, a girl and a boy"
NOTE: This is the last chapter, bar the epilogue I will post soon.
A few months later...
"SYAORAN! YOU BASTARD! YOU GOT ME INTO THIS!" Shouts rang through the room as Sakura laid on the medical bed, clad in a hospital gown, panting and screaming.
"Your almost there Mrs. Li. Just a few more pushes." One of the midwives said. Another contraction hit as Sakura screamed and squeezed Syaoran's hand with a vice-like grip. He winced slightly, but didn't pull her off him. Sakura took a deep breath of the pain-relief gas she had been given and her grip loosened on Syaoran's hand.
"That must be some good stuff," He commented. "Can I have some?"
"FUCK OFF, it's mine!" Sakura shouted. The midwives just laughed.
"Alright." One said, "One more push Mrs Li." Sakura did as instructed, screaming again as she did.
She let out a huge sigh as the midwife smiled. "There's the first one. He seems perfectly fine." She handed the baby to another midwife, who took the duty of cleaning and examining him while Sakura continued to give birth. "Ok, then. Final push, on your next contraction, push as hard as you can, ok?" Sakura nodded.
As the contraction hit, she gave that final push and flopped backwards panting. The midwife smiled. "A healthy baby girl, and lucky for you, the placenta came out as well, no need for another push." Sakura smiled as her babies were handed to her, cleaned and wrapped in a towel each.
"They're beautiful." Syaoran whispered to her. Sakura just nodded, too weak to speak.
"We'll leave you two in peace." A midwife said, taking any paperwork she needed away with her.
"May I?" Syaoran asked, gesturing towards the little boy. Sakura nodded, lifting the baby towards him. Gingerly, Syaoran too the child and cradled him in his arms. "At least I won't have the elders of the company breathing down my neck about creating an heir." Syaoran joked.
Sakura smiled as she looked down at her sleeping daughter. "What are we going to call them?" She said in a barely audible whisper.
"I was told by the elders, that if I was to have a son, I must call him Fumio. So I don't want to call him that." Syaoran stated with a smile. Sakura faintly giggled.
"Why Fumio?" She whispered.
"No idea, that's elders for you." He replied. "What about Hanako?
"Hanako?" Sakura replied. "Sounds nice. Hana for short." Syaoran nodded. "But why Hanako? Why not just Hana?"
"Because, she's the child of a beautiful flower and deserves to have it in her namesake." Sakura smiled.
"And for that little one?" Sakura nodded towards the baby boy. "Sora?"
"Sora?" Syaoran mumbled, "I like it." Syaoran smirked, leaning towards Sakura, "You do realise he's going to grow up with most of the training I had, I'm not going to be as harsh on him as the elders were on me, but he'll still learn."
"I'd expect nothing less," She replied, catching his lips with hers. "As long as you give Hanako a chance to learn as well," She said as they pulled away. "I want them to be equals."
"Of course." He said, taking Hanako from Sakura, and placing the pair of babies in their separate cots. "Now, rest. I'll be here if either of them start crying, but you need your sleep." Sakura nodded, wriggling back under the covers and quickly drifting off to sleep.
The next day, Sakura and Syaoran were back home, waiting for the obvious visit of Tomoyo. As predicted, the doorbell rang. Syaoran opened the door only to be pushed aside in a blur of violet hair.
"Where is she? Where are the babies?" Tomoyo said, frantic.
"Calm down, they're in the lounge." Syaoran replied, with Tomoyo taking off before he had finished. He turned back to the door and smirked. "Got pulled out as well?"
"Don't even go there." Eriol said, annoyed. "All I get was a rushed phone-call going 'Forget work, get home now!' at first I was worried for her, but then she went all gaga saying about Sakura. My argument, was let them rest and calm down first, but she wouldn't have it. Anyway," He planted a big smile on his face, "How are you doing?"
"SAKURA!" Tomoyo squealed, pulling out her camera at the sight, Sakura cradling both wide eyed children, one in each arm with a content smile on her face. Tomoyo picked up the bags she had dropped and started emptying them. "I've got lots of clothes for each of them. Oh, yeah. Names?"
"Hanako and Sora." Sakura said. "I'm sure they'd love a cuddle with their god-mother." Tomoyo beamed, taking the children off of Sakura and holding them close.
"They're so adorable." Tomoyo whispered.
"Just think, 'Moyo." Eriol said from the doorway, "That may be us someday."
"Eh, yeah about that..." Tomoyo started, a blush forming across her cheeks, "I needed to talk to you, but then I found out about Sakura here and it got pushed to the back of my mind..."
"What are you saying Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"That, the day Eriol was talking about, may... come... sooner than he thinks..." She said slowly.
"TOMOYO! CONGRATS!" Sakura shouted. "I'm so happy for you." Eriol just looked gob smacked.
Syaoran patted him on the back, "Same look I had, mate!"
5 years later...
"SORA!" A normally innocent voice rang through the house. "GIVE IT BACK!" A young, slim girl ran down the hallway, her long brown hair flowing behind her and anger in her emerald eyes.
"Give what back Hanako?" The boy she was chasing called back to her, mischief in his amber eyes as he said her ful name.. "Uh-Oh!" He shouted as the little girl caught up with him and tackled his more bulky figure to the floor. In one swift move, Hanako had the boy pinned with his arms up his back.
"It's HANA. And give me my teddy!" She shouted at him.
"Hana..." A melodic voice drifted to them. The girl's head turned to look at her mother. Sakura smiled at the pair while shaking her head. "Let him go."
"But he has Kero!" Hanako argued.
"Sora, give her back her teddy." A more velvet voice said as Syaoran appeared beside Sakura. "And Hanako, save the martial arts for training." Both the kids stood up.
Sora dug into his pockets and pulled out a small, winged, yellow bear. Hanako took it off him and hugged it.
"What do you say?" Sakura asked.
"Sorry Hana." Sora said.
"It's ok." Hanako replied. "And daddy..." Her voice was sugar sweet, but it quickly became darker as she launched herself at Syaoran, playfully hitting his chest as he lifted her up. "It's HANA! No-one calls me Hanako!"
"Sorry, pumpkin." Syaoran lowering her. "Ok, you two, get changed. I was at work late yesterday, so neither of you could train. Let's go."
"OK!" The children chanted in unison with glee and ran off.
"They sure love your training sessions." Sakura chuckled. "It's the only time they can get away with beating each other up."
"Sure is." Syaoran replied as the doorbell rang.
"I got it." Sakura replied. "You go train the kids." Syaoran nodded and kissed Sakura lightly on the lips before she walked away.
"Hey Tomoyo, Eriol." Sakura said as she opened the door. "Hello Maaya." Sakura bent down to smile at the little girl. She pushed the long violet hair out of the little girl's face and looked into her midnight eyes. "How are you?"
"I'm ok," The 3 ½ year old replied shyly. "Are Hana and Sora here?"
"They should be in the training room with Syao." Sakura replied. "Go find them." Maaya smiled and ran off. "How are you two then?" She asked the adults.
"We're great." Eriol replied as a crash echoed through the house, making all bar Sakura jump. "What was that?"
"You've never seen the training in action have you?" Sakura asked, the couple shook their heads."come on then."
Sakura led them through the house and into a secluded courtyard. A wooden platform was to the far side, a wooden beam close by, various trees and other equipment was dotted around. Sakura's children were both in training robes fighting with strong dummies.
"Syao, what was the crash?" Sakura asked him. He just pointed to one of the dummies on the floor.
"Sora misjudged his kick and it whacked into the support." He said.
"Syaoran?" Maaya asked. "Can I try?"
"Sure, if that's ok with your parents." Syaoran looked to Tomoyo and Eriol and they nodded. He helped her into her stance and started teaching her basics as his kids continued to train.
"Looks like Syaoran has a new pupil then." Tomoyo giggled.
"That's good. Gives us time to be together." Eriol suggested.
Sakura just laughed at them with a content smile as she watched the children. Everything has worked out for the best then. Everything is different to how it was. But life is good.
