Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Sakura Sushi ❯ Volume Two, Chapter Five: Movie Night ( Chapter 5 )

Movie Night

Friday night in February. Sakura couldn't sleep tonight. Too many questions flooded her head. She sat up in her futon. Close to a month and nothing felt familiar to her. Most of her stuff was still at her house. Shaolan told her it was find to stay here with him and Meilin, but she had doubts now.

We can't stay here after the baby's born, she thought. But where could they go? The housing market hadn't been great these days. Plus, would she still work? Shaolan provide for her? Did he want to get married? Did he even love her?

Too much drowned her mind. I need to get out, Sakura thought. She climbed out of bed, put on a robe, and left the room.

A soft blur light caught her eyes. A puzzled look came on her face. Hm? Who's up at this time of night?, she thought. Curious, Sakura trailed the light to the living room. Shaolan sat on the couch, watching TV. His baby mama watched him from the doorway. He happened to look up and see her watching.

“Oh I'm sorry,” Shaolan said. “I didn't mean to wake you up.” Sakura shook her head.

“Oh, no, no,” she said. “I couldn't sleep anyway.”

“Ah,” he said. The man patted the spot on the couch next to him.

“Since you're up, come and join me,” Shaolan said.

“You sure?” she asked.

“You might as well, right?” Shaolan suggested. “You came all this way.” Sakura shrugged a bit.

“Alright,” she said. The woman took a seat next to her baby daddy. She looked at the TV screen.

“What are you watching?” she asked.

“Seven Samurai,” he said.

“Ah,” Sakura replied. “You couldn't sleep either?”

“Nah,” he said.

“How come?” she asked.

Shaolan shrugged. “Too on my mind.”

“Like what?”

“This whole baby thing.”

Sakura looked at him with surprised eyes. “You too?”

He looked at her. “What's been on your mind?”

“Where we'll live.”

“Here of course.”

“I mean after the baby's born. Where will we live?”

Shaolan went quiet for a moment. “Uh… well…”

Sakura looked at him with worried eyes. Her baby daddy sighed. He lowered his head.

“I don't know,” he said.

“This is what I mean,” she said. “Are we going to support the family together? Will you want me to work? And what about marriage?” Shaolan blinked at her.

“Wow,” he mouthed. Sakura tried to stay calm.

“Well, what will we do?” she asked. He gently held her.

“We'll look for a house in the morning,” he promised in a whisper. Sakura looked over at him.

“And then?” she asked. Shaolan slowly pulled away.

“Let's start with the house and finish this movie first, okay?” he said. Sakura nodded.

“Okay,” she said with a small smile. They turned back to the screen and said nothing for the rest of the night.
