Sakura yawned and stretched as she started to wake from what had to be one of the worst nights sleep she had in recent memory. The last time she slept this bad was in Hong Kong the night before she returned to Japan. Before she returned to the people that truly care for and love her. She was going to get up when she noticed Tomoyo sleeping with her head on her legs. "She looks like an angel." Sakura whispered to herself. She ran her fingers through Tomoyo's lovely lavender hair and gently rubbed her back. She slowly leaned Tomoyo back in her chair so she wouldn't wake her. Sakura took a blanket from the foot of her bed and draped it over her sleeping beauty. She leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Sleep tight Tomoyo-chan. May you dream the most beautiful dreams." Since she couldn't sleep, Sakura decided to walk around the floor a few times to see if that would tire her out. She came across a small waiting area at the end of the hall and walked up to the window. She sighed a tired sigh as she looked out at all of the twinkling lights of the city below. She stood there for hours, just staring at the night sky. Tomoyo woke up and noticed that Sakura was gone. After checking the Washroom, she headed out into the hall to check with the nurses station. She turned to the left, but something in her mind told her to look right. She did and noticed Sakura looking out the window. She sighed in relief and walked down the hall to see if she was ok. She wrapped her arms around Sakura's stomach and hugged her from behind. "Sakura-chan? Are you ok?" Sakura quickly wiped away her tears and told her she was fine. "You don't look like it." "I guess all the emotions from what happened tonight hit me all at once. I know I can be a bit dense with these things sometimes. I was so scared Tomoyo-chan. I almost lost you tonight." Tomoyo burried her face in Sakura's hair and listened as the young card mistress poured her heart out. "But you didn't lose me Sakura-chan. That's all that matters." "Yeah but..." "Don't focus on things that might have happened, the thing that matters most is that we're both ok. We still have each other...right?" "You're right. I'm sorry. I just don't know what I would do if I lost you." "Nor I you." Sakura turned around and gave Tomoyo the biggest hug she could muster. Nearly squeezing the life out of her in the process. Tomoyo took her hand and started leading her back to her room. "Come on... Sakura-chan needs her beauty sleep." Sakura just whined and pouted that she wanted to go home. "The sooner you get some sleep, the sooner tomorrow will come and we can go home." After tucking her into bed and giving her a kiss goodnight, Tomoyo pulled out a sketchbook and started making designs of her and Sakura's wedding dresses. They wanted to have the wedding before the baby arrived, but with their lives being so busy as of late, it looked as though that might not happen. Tomoyo got a wide eyed starry look and steeled her resolve that she would make sure the wedding would take place before their little girl was born, and got to work. She stayed up long into the night until her body eventually gave in to it's need for sleep. She practically collapsed on the bed next to Sakura's and fell into a deep slumber. It was early afternoon when one of the Nurses came in and woke them. Tomoyo helped Sakura gather her things, and get ready to go home. On the wasy past the nurses station, Tomoyo gave them the flowers that were in Sakura's room, and thanked them for all their hard work in helping to take care of Sakura. She wheeled Sakura out to Touya's car, buckled her in and sat down beside her with her head on Sakura's shoulder. Fujitaka had suggested that they stay at his place until repairs were completed at their apartment. "Arigato Kinomoto-san." Said Tomoyo. They were thrilled when they got to Sakura's room. Nothing had changed since she moved to Hong Kong. Her father had kept her room exactly as it had been when she was still living there. Sakura walked over to her bed and picked up the little Plushie of herself that Tomoyo had made for her when they were younger. She hugged it tightly and sneezed when some dust went up her nose. Tomoyo giggled and said that they should get cleaned up before Dinner. A little while later, Touya yelled that dinner was ready from downstairs. "Hai!" "So? Have you figured out when you want to have the wedding Tomoyo?" Asked Touya. "Well... we really want to be married before the baby arrives, so I was thinking that maybe we should have it pretty soon. Don't you think so Sakura-chan?" "Hai. But we have so much to do, and such little time to do it. We've got Flowers and Invitations, Catering and the Dresses... Hoeeee, keeping track of so many things makes my head dizzy." "Don't worry Sakura. We'll all pitch in and help too. Won't we... Touya?" Said Yukito. "Well, since she's not marrying that Gaki, I guess we can help out a little."
