Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Sakura Sushi ❯ Volume Two, Chapter Seven: Hearts for Daddy ( Chapter 7 )

Hearts for Daddy

Syaoran sat in the kitchen, lost in thought. Valentine's Day would be in a few minutes. Pretty minor, considering…

I'm going to be a father soon. The idea scared him at first. He and Sakura were still in their early twenties. Unmarried with budding careers. So many details to be worked out.

Does she want to stay home after the baby's born? What if she wants to work? And what about marriage?

They still needed a place to live. The apartment search came up with nothing so far. Today started another round after work. The search looked as if it would be dry again. One they found a place, they needed to get married.

Syaoran paused. Crap! I haven't even gotten that far yet! He breathed out and looked at the dark ceiling. Planning took so much effort.

But yet, it would seem worth it.

Syaoran looked forward to holding his new baby. Watching the first steps. Hearing the first words. Walking the kid to school. All of the birthdays and holidays. Little gifts between father and child. Watching graduation. Meeting the grandkids.

The man took in the nostalgic waves of time. What would we name the baby? Maybe something both Chinese and Japanese? They didn't know the baby's gender yet. A unisex name sounded safe. Syaoran's chest grew warm just thinking about that sweet little newborn.

“Syaoran-kun,” a voice said in reality. The man looked up and saw the mother-to-be standing in the kitchen doorway. He blinked at her.

“Sakura-chan?” he asked. “What are you doing up so early?”

“I could ask you the same thing,” she said. Her child's father nodded.

“Fair point,” he said. They didn't speak for a breath. Sakura walked over to the table where he sat and presented him with a pink box of white honmei chocolate. Syaoran looked up at her with big eyes.

“Sakura-chan…” he murmured.

“Happy Valentine's Day,” she said with a bow.

“You didn't have…”

“I wanted to.”

The man closed his mouth. Sakura pressed her lips together.

“Syaoran-kun,” she said.

“Yeah?” he asked with cotton candy cheeks.

“Can I put my arms around you?”

He looked away some. “Sure.”

Sakura lightly took him into her arms and his cheek rested against her plump breasts.
