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:The next day, Sakura popped to the shop and came back with a small box. Syaoran was a bit suspicious, but decided not to pry. After a few minutes in the bathroom, Sakura came out, and stared at Syaoran. In her hand, a small thermometer sized bar (A/N I don't know how to describe it, you all know what I'm talking about).
"Syao..." She whispered, a small, genuine, smile creeping across her lips. "There's something you need to see."
NOTE: I'm thinking only a few more chapters till I finish. Maybe 2 more, or 3, not sure yet.
Syaoran's face became blank as he stared at the test in his wife's hand. He gulped at looked at his beaming wife then back to the writing on the bar. The word repeated over and over in his head, 'Pregnant'.
"Syao...?" Sakura touched his cheek. He smiled back at him.
"I'm going to be a father..." He mumbled. He took the test from her hand and placed it on the sofa beside him. He stood up, taking Sakura's hand as he did, making her follow. He wrapped his arms around his waist, lifting her up. He spun her round, holding her tightly. "I'M GOING TO BE A DAD!" He shouted. He put her down but kept a tight hold of her. "Wow," he whispered.
"I know," Sakura muttered, "At least we're together throughout it all, right?" She smiled up at him.
"Sure, but your doing the night shift, and the nappies." He teased. Sakura playfully hit him.
"You're doing your fair share, mister. He or She is just as much yours as mine." She smiled and pulled away from him, picking up the phone.
"Who're you calling? I thought we could spend some time together, to, err, celebrate." He smirked.
"One, I'll repeat, like I always do – head out of the gutter!, Two, who do you think?" Sakura dialled a number, letting it ring. "She'll kill me if I don't tell her immediately." Syaoran just nodded. The dialing tone ended and the other end of the line picked up. "Hey, it's Sakura. ... Can you come over? ... I need to talk to you. ... No I can't say it over the phone, please. ... Okay, see you in a minute." She hung up and sat down beside her husband. He placed a hand on her stomach.
"A little me or you running around here in a few years time, eh?" He mumbled.
"Yeah," Sakura looked at her watch, standing up and heading to the door. "3, 2, 1" She opened the door and Tomoyo came flying in, slowly followed by Eriol.
"What is it you couldn't tell me over the phone?" She questioned.
"The same thing that made you stop your so-obvious date." Syaoran retorted, pointing at Eriol's shirt and dress-pants and Tomoyo's straight black spaghetti strap dress. The pair blushed.
"Are you going to answer me then?" Tomoyo aimed at Sakura. Sakura smiled as Syaoran came behind her, resting his head on her shoulder, one hand on her waist and the other on her stomach. Sakura leant back into Syaoran as she saw Tomoyo's eyes light up.
"Wait for it..." She whispered.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" Tomoyo screamed, pulling Sakura away from Syaoran and squeezing her to death.
"Tomoyo, can't breath!" She wheezed.
"Sorry," She pulled away. "OH MY GOD! You're pregnant."
"Yes we've established that." Syaoran shot. Tomoyo glared at him as Eriol walked over and said some advice which made Tomoyo blush slightly: "Don't mess with her, I know what it's like to be on her bad side."
"What? No sex?" Sakura mocked causing Tomoyo's face to fall crimson. "No... really?!" Tomoyo just nodded. "Bad girl."
"Shut it, you're the one who's got yourself Preggo!" Tomoyo snapped back.
"Yep, and happy to be!" She stuck her tongue out, pulling Tomoyo into a small embrace. "And I want you as godmother."
"You're not even 2 weeks and you're think of that?" Syaoran commented.
"Nothing wrong with planning ahead." Sakura retorted, playfully flicking the side of his head. He flopped himself backwards onto the sofa, clutching his head and writhing in fake pain.
"Immature..." The girls mumbled in unison. Syaoran just glared at them.
"Anyway..." Tomoyo started. "How long till you can find out what it is?"
"Not sure. Hang on a moment, I'll be right back" Sakura replied, running out of the room and returning with a laptop.
They all sat down together on the sofa as it loaded up and Sakura searched scan details on the internet.
"Here we go: 'At the 18-22 week scan, you may be able to find out the gender of your baby, if you are interested.' That's about 4-5 months."
"4-5 MONTHS!" Tomoyo repeated. "I can't wait that long. I need to know so I can start making the clothes." Everyone aside from her sweat-dropped at the typical Tomoyo response.
"Why not make unisex clothes until we find out?" Syaoran suggested.
"I could, but it's more fun to know what gender you're making for."
"Same old Tomoyo." Sakura whispered to her husband.
"Crazy as could be..." He replied.
"Me? Crazy?" Tomoyo said, "It's not me who is going to have to deal with Sakura throughout the pregnancy."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Sakura asked with a slight glare.
"Think about it," Tomoyo started. "Most women get massive cravings further on in pregnancy, Syaoran will have to be there to get them for you, you'll be hormonal, it hard to sleep when you start growing et cetera. Syaoran is going to have to put up with that for 8 or 9 months."
"I don't mind." Syaoran stated calmly. "As long as she's happy, and the baby is healthy, I'm fine with it all." Sakura smiled and leant sideways onto him. Tomoyo and Eriol just smiled gently at the couple.
A couple of months later, Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo (Purely because she had insisted she had come) ere on their way to Sakura's second screening. The first one was just to check that she was indeed pregnant and not a faulty test and that everything was healthy. They had been meant to go for a scan about a month previous to tell when she was due, but no appointments could be made so the hospital said they would just leave it to the next point. (A/N, unrealistic, I know. But there are two things that would be found out separately, that I want them to know at the same time.) Sakura had been feeling movement recently and it was becoming stronger. At times there would be movement on either side of her stomach, making the couple slightly concerned as curious as to what was going on inside of her.
They entered the room together. Sakura laid herself down on the bed and lifted her top above her slightly protruding stomach. Syaoran and Tomoyo sat on the chairs beside waiting for any information.
"Now," The Midwife began, "As I understand, you were unable to make a scan just over a month ago, so it was left till today and you are now about 4 months. Correct?" Sakura nodded. "Ok then, shall we begin?" Both Syaoran and Sakura nodded as the Midwife took a remote sized scanner off of the machinery.
She placed some gel on Sakura's stomach, followed by the scanner spreading it.
After about 5 minutes of the Midwife making certain measurements and checks on the machinery, she turned the screen so that the rest could see.
"Some people would see this as good news, others would see it as bad depending on their financial situation." The Midwife said as she focused the scanner on a section of Sakura's stomach. "But as you can see," She pointed to 2 white patches on the screen. "There is more than one child in there." Sakura and Tomoyo's faces lit up, while Syaoran's hit the floor. "To be precise, Mrs Li, you are going to be having twins."
Sakura looked over to Syaoran who had started smiling. He nodded to Sakura who then asked the question they all wanted to know the answer to.
"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"
