AT THREE MONTHS: Tomoyo and her mother spent many a sleepless night coming up with ideas for some new clothes and how they would look. Sakura, in the meantime was reading up on anything she thought would help her and Tomoyo be the best parents they could be. One night when Tomoyo came home, Sakura told her that they were invited over to her fathers house for dinner. He had already asked Sonomi and she reluctantly agreed. After dinner, everyone went into the living room to have desert. Sakura took her share and leaned back on the couch. She was just starting to show, and Touya noticed. She hadn't told them yet that she was pregnant, and she wasn't sure how to. "Kaiju looks like she doesn't need any more food." He said while gently poking her belly. Sakura sat up and glared at him while he went on about how desert was going to go straight to her thighs or something. "For your information, I'm not getting fat! I'm pregnant!" She suddenly realized what she said and blushed as she looked away. Everyone except Sonomi and Tomoyo dropped their forks and just looked at her in confusion. "What? Really? You mean... I'm going to be a grandfather!?" Yukito just looked at her and smiled while Touya started ranting. "You mean... that Gaki, he put his... you and him..." "No, no, no. Well... yeah, we did but..." "Come on Touya, calm down." Yukito said. Putting his hands on Touya's shoulders to try to relax him. Sakura just looked at everyone and thought it would be best just to tell everyone the truth. Everyone knew about her and her magic. Well, everyone except her father. Touya had always suspected that she had some kind of special powers, but he never did figure out just how special they were. Sakura sighed and started explaining about everything. About the Clow book, the cards and the mysterious things that kept happening around town while she was trying to capture them. Touya was a little stunned, but not alot. He was perceptive and he would have probably figured it out sooner or later anyway. Her father however, thought she was telling a fantasy story and clapped when she finished. Everyone looked at him then back at each other. "He doesn't get it Sakura." Said Touya. Sighing, she stood up and called for Kero-chan to come downstairs. "Who's Kero-chan?" Asked her father. "YO!" "Oh!, you mean your plushie? Neat, I didn't know he could fly. Is he remote controlled or something?" He said while pulling and tugging on his arms and legs. "Ow, Ow, Ow! Knock it off will ya!?" Sakura looked to Yukito then to Kero and nodded. Yukito stood up and Kero floated up beside him while Touya and Sonomi picked up the coffee table and moved it out of the way. Yukito and Kero smiled at her father and were inveloped in their wings as they transformed into their true forms. Fujitaka just clapped and said that Sakura was becoming a good Magician. Sakura sighed and sat back down on the couch, wondering if there was any way to get through to her father. Tomoyo leaned over and whispered something in her ear. "Good idea Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura opened the clow book and pulled out a card. She handed it to her father and told him she put all of her hopes of having a child into this card and that the other cards did too. Fujitaka turned the card over and smiled. He ran his fingers over what had to be the most beautiful thing he ever saw. He closed his eyes and held it close. "Nadeshiko..." Sakura walked over and sat next to her father. She leaned over and hugged him tightly as he continued to look at the card. "When I sealed it away, I knew. I knew that it was mother when I saw the picture on the card. She came back to us. She came back in the way that she knew would help us the most. Our hope." Fujitaka hugged his daughter closer and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Thank You Sakura. Thank You for returning to us. Thank You for bringing back all of your hopes and dreams, even though some may have been lost or broken. You are very special to us Sakura-chan. Don't you ever forget that." Sonomi and Touya put the coffee table back and everyone finished eating their deserts. With a little help from Kero-chan of course. Their little gathering started to wind down and everyone went their seperate ways. Making sure to give the mother to be and her wife a hug before they left. "Ohhhh... I can't belive I'm a Grandfather!" Fujitaka exclaimed. "Oh great. Another little Kaiju running amok in this town. That's all we need. I'd rather have the clow cards wreaking havok." "Good night dad! Good night 'Uncle Touya'!" Sakura and Tomoyo headed back to their apartment to get some sleep. As usual, after the got ready for bed, Sakura sat on the bed while Tomoyo laid her head in her lap and sang to the baby. Usually, Tomoyo's singing put Sakura to sleep as well, but not tonight. Sakura had trouble falling asleep. "Tomoyo-chan... You sing to me and the baby every night. But I feel like you need something special too." "No. I'm fine Sakura. I love singing to you and the baby. It makes me happy to." Sakura sat Tomoyo up and pulled her close. "Tomoyo-chan, I want to sing to you for a change. Can I? I know it won't be nearly as beautiful as your singing, but I want to try." Tomoyo's eyes got wide and she choked back the tears that threatened to come forth. Sitting on their knees while facing each other, Sakura pulled Tomoyo into another hug and started singing. Tomoyo couldn't hold back her tears as she recognized the lullaby Sakura was singing. It was the same lullaby that her mother sang when she was young. She nestled into her chest as she continued to listen. And to cry. "Sakura-chan..." Sakura got a brilliant idea and moved closer to Tomoyo until she had to stand up, pausing her singing only for a moment. "Please Sakura-chan... just a little longer?" Tomoyo asked through her tears. Sakura stood in front of her lovely wife and wrapped her arms around her. She slid one hand down her back and let it rest on Tomoyo's backside. Sakura bent down, and in one swift movement, she scooped up Tomoyo, hugging her tightly to her chest as she started singing again. Tomoyo was always a little surprised at her wife's stregnth. Being so athletic through most of her life, Sakura had grown into a beautifully toned, yet gentle woman. Tomoyo's shock quickly faded as she felt so relaxed, so safe in Sakura's loving arms. Sakura slowly made her way around the apartment while holding her beloved. She felt so warm. So soft and delicate. So...perfect. Tomoyo was so happy. A warm, fuzzy feeling washed over her as she felt Sakura's hand gently rubbing her back, soothing her. Half asleep, Tomoyo spoke: "Sakura-chan is going to make a wonderful mother. She's so loving." Sakura blushed. "You too Tomoyo-chan. I wouldn't be able to do this... not without you." After Tomoyo fell asleep, Sakura took her back to their room and tucked her into bed. Sakura knew she wouldn't get much sleep tonight, so she picked up a book and headed into the living room to read. She turned on a lamp read late into the night.
