I felt my eyes slowly open to Tsukasa sleeping peacefully next to me. The sun was shining brightly through our bedroom's large windows and I could hear the birds chirping happily. I smiled to myself as I sat up from my laying position. I stretched my arms and looked at the clock. It's eight o'clock. I left the bed as I put my furry pink slippers on. I went inside the bathroom as I closed the door. My hair was such a mess. I took a brush in one of the drawers and started to comb the tangles away. I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. After I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt, I left the bathroom and saw that Tsukasa was already awake.

"Happy birthday," I greeted him.

He just looked at my sleepily and yawned. He finally showed a droopy, drowsy smile and thanked me for my greeting. He pulled me to his lap as I tried my best to resist. He kissed me and hugged me. We just stood there. I was on his lap and he was still hugging me. I then nervously giggled.

"What's wrong with you today?" I asked.

"Nothing. It's just my first birthday as your husband," he told me.

That was true. He then let go of me as I stood up on my own feet.

"Come on, you need to get ready for your party. The party starts at five in the afternoon, and you still need to buy your suit and I still need to buy my dress. Sakurako offered to help me pick out a dress. I think Akira wants to help you," I informed him.

"I hate shopping for clothes. I already have a lot in the closet. There are over fifty suits I have," he complained.

"Those suits are too small on you. You've been wearing the same ones for a few years already. I'm surprised you're even wearing some twice!" I said astonishingly.

"It doesn't help that you keep nagging that one suit is equal to two years of a common man's full salary. And I hate shopping," he repeated.

"Well you need to go! I'm not going to let you walk in on your own party with high waters. Michael Jackson made high waters really famous, but that type of fashion had already faded and it's not very suitable for a formal event. And I know that you have that purple, odd looking suit in your closet. It may fit you, but you are most certainly not wearing that to your party. You look like a fashion terrorist when you wear it!" I reasoned.

"Alright, alright!" he gave up.

Sakurako called me and picked me up. Of course, Shigeru tagged along, but Yuki refused the offer. She told us that Soujiro wouldn't allow her go shopping because it was too tiring for her and the baby. She also added that she was throwing up and peeing all morning. We just giggled and told her that we understood. Soujiro had always been the protective type.

Sakurako then drove up to a Chanel store. I then looked at her with disbelief as she shrugged her shoulders. I still wasn't used to buying dresses, clothes, and shoes that were very expensive. We walked in as the manager greeted us. She knew our names by heart because she knew that the F4's girls would be buying from her and some other famous designer stores. She had a short bob and I could tell that she had several Botox procedures. I just greeted her politely and smiled. She offered to speak in Japanese for our comfort, but I could tell that she wasn't yet comfortable or fluent with the Japanese language. Since the three of us are fluent in English, I told her that our conversation could be in English. She then let out a relieved sigh and showed us to the selection of dresses that they offered.

"Excuse me for asking Mrs. Domyouji, but do you have a certain price range?" she asked me.

"She doesn't. She's the wife of the richest man in Japan!" Sakurako claimed.

I just looked at Sakurako and gave her a dirty look. I hated it when she made me look so powerful and rich when I still wasn't used to it. She simply shrugged her shoulders again and looked away from me. I could tell that she knew what she did wrong. I just laughed it off.

"No, I don't have a certain price range," I confirmed Sakurako's statement.

"Oh, I see. Price is not an obstacle," she smiled.

Shigeru then approached me and whispered in my ear.

"She looks scary when she smiles. Her smile makes the Botox more noticeable," she whispered as the manager talked to Sakurako.

I just chuckled at Shigeru. To Sakurako's dismay, Shigeru hated it when girls got plastic surgery. She preferred natural beauty, but Sakurako claimed that there is no certain person that could be born with the perfection of beauty. Shigeru told her that she was naturally beautiful causing Sakurako to roll her eyes.

Sakurako pulled out a dress and pushed me gently to the dressing room as she threw the dress inside with me. I took the dress she threw in the dressing room and took it off its hanger. It was short. It was too short! I might as well let Shigeru and Sakurako see the dress and how I looked in it. I took my shirt and pants as I slid the dress on. It was up to my mid-thigh and it was backless. It was flamboyant in bright red as the halter top hung on my neck. I stepped out the dressing room and Sakurako squealed in excitement. I just stood there awkwardly and smiled gawkily.

"It's perfect! The guests will sure think of you as a sexy wife of Domyouji Tsukasa. They will be sure to know that you're not afraid to show a little bit of skin," Sakurako complimented.

"Or a lot of skin!" Shigeru finished for her.

"What?" Sakurako said as she put her hands on her hips.

"The dress is too short! She doesn't even look comfortable in it—I mean it's cute and everything, but I think that she should only wear that dress in front of Tsukasa, not in front of all the aristocrats of the world!" Shigeru interrupted.

"Yeah, I agree with Shigeru," I mumbled as Shigeru crossed her arms with a smug smile on her face.

"Tsukushi! It's cute! If you don't buy it, then I'm going to choose some lingerie for you!" Sakurako threatened.

"Go ahead, Sakurako. You're good at that part!" Shigeru shooed her away.

Sakurako happily clapped her hands together and squealed. I swear, I heard her sing with the words Tsukasa and Tsukushi are going to be busy tonight! I asked her to clarify the statement, but she claimed it was nothing and ran off to the lingerie section of the store. Shigeru then started to browse through the dresses as the manager left to answer the annoying ringing phone. Shigeru smiled as she handed me a dress. I went inside the dressing room and took a good look at the dress. It was pretty suitable. I took off the red, short dress and hung it back on its hanger. I then took the black dress off of its hanger and tried it on. I exited the dressing room and Shigeru stood there with surprised expression on her face. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes were wide. I just sniggered and she awarded me with compliments.

"Tsukushi, that dress is the one! You look so beautiful and you look so curvy and slender in it! You need to get it!" she counseled me.

I looked at myself in the large mirror in front of me. It was gorgeous. The dress was long and black. Shigeru was correct: it did make me look a little curvy. I just shined a bright smile. This was the dress I wanted. The dress had a one shoulder top. It would look beautiful with the Saturn necklace Tsukasa gave me when we were still in high school. I then nodded signaling Shigeru that I approved of the dress and that I was planning on buying it. She then looked around the store and ran and came back to me holding a pair of heels. The shoes were black and it had to be around three inches tall. It was cute, but one thing was prominent to me. On the strap, there were little jewels on it. I quickly laughed.

"These shoes look like they have little diamonds on them," I observed.

"Oh, they do. They're real diamonds," Shigeru told me.

"What? I don't need shoes that have diamonds on them? Diamonds are for jewelry, not for shoes!" I cried.

"Chill, Tsukushi. You should be used to this. Remember the pair of jeans Tsukasa bought you when you were nineteen?" she asked me.

"Yes, I do remember those jeans," I recalled.

"Well, the button on it was a real emerald," she giggled at me.

I am so going to kill Tsukasa. He told me that the button was just green glass. I remember I just looked at him with awkwardness thinking what designer would add glass as their button on a pair of jeans. Well, what's done is done. I can't change the fact that I accepted the gift from him. I'm just mad at myself that I didn't notice it. I don't even think I still have those jeans. I think I gave them to mama after she lost weight. She would be thrilled to find out that there was a large, gaudy emerald on her pair of jeans. At that moment, Sakurako walked in and held up a set of lingerie to show off.

"I am not wearing that," I stated.

"Why not? Tsukasa would be so happy!" she alleged.

"Fine, just add it in the cart! I don't want to spend any more money today," I announced.

I gave my credit card to the manager as she charged the dress, the shoes, and the lingerie. It wasn't as if I was going to wear the lingerie. I'll just keep it so that Sakurako won't be disappointed with me rejecting two of her choices. I already felt bad that I rejected her offer for the short dress, although it wasn't what I wanted. The manager rung up the dress first. It was $5,600! I was amazed as my mouth dropped. Shigeru laughed as she pushed my jaw back up. The shoes costs $1,200 and the lingerie was $800. With the sales tax, the total price was about $8,000. That was the most I had ever spent on myself. After we went shopping, we went to Dior, Vera Wang, and Tiffany's to buy Shigeru and Sakurako's dresses and shoes, our jewelry, and some other accessories. Unfortunately, Sakurako was persistent and convinced me to buy a diamond bracelet. It looks like, tonight, I'm going to be dressed in diamonds. I finally picked something out for myself and picked out some dazzling earrings at Tiffany's. When we were finished shopping, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

We still had to go to the salon to get our hair, make-up, and nails done. I got my nails done in a simple French tip, while Sakurako and Shigeru got showy designs painted on their nails. Sakurako got her hair done in an elegant bun. Shigeru wanted her hair curled with ha side ponytail as I chose long, flowy curls. The hair process was finally done and we got our make-up done. By the time we were done with the whole beauty ritual, it was already twenty minutes to five. We had twenty minutes to get to my house before the party started.

When we finally made it back, I saw that along with the rest of the F4, Yuki was already there relaxing in the living room. Tsukasa was there pacing back and forth in our bedroom. I smiled as I entered the bedroom. I opened the large oak doors and started apologizing continuously.

"Tsukasa, I'm sorry I'm late! I know that I said that I was going to be here by four, but we had to do our hair and our nails, and it did take a long time picking a dress," I tried to explain.

He just walked up to me and kissed my forehead. I guess he wasn't mad. I just smiled back at him as I hugged him. I took a deep breath and as I inhaled, I could smell his cologne clinging to his suit. He wore the same cologne from the time we were dating in high school. I remembered back in high school, whenever I would smell his evident cologne, it was a signal to run away and hide, but here I am today, admiring the smell of my husband.

"You look beautiful," he whispered to me.

I then remembered and lightly hit his chest.

"What was that for?" he asked me.

"I didn't know that the pair of jeans you gave me had a real emerald on it!" I told him.

"I saw your mother wearing it after she lost the twenty pounds she wanted to lose," he laughed.

"Yeah, she kept on whining that I should give it to her, you don't mind, do you?" I asked.

"No, I don't mind. She is in fact my mother-in-law," he said.

After our little conversation, we were presented as we walked down the stairs.

"I would like to present Mr. and Mrs. Domyouji," the announcer broadcasted.

There were cameras everywhere. There were professional video cameras televising worldwide news channels as professional photographers from famous magazine and newspapers continued to snap pictures of us. There were flashes everywhere and my eyes were getting used to them. I was holding Tsukasa's arm as we walked down. While we were walking down, I saw some familiar faces. I saw Akiko, Hiro, Shigeru, Sakurako, Yuki, the rest of the F4, my family, Kaede, and Tsubaki with her husband. They all smiled at us as we walked down the flight of stairs. Within thirty minutes, dinner was served and it was delicious. Of course, Tsukasa sat in the head chair while I sat on his right hand side. Tsukasa made the press laugh as he requested me to feed him some of the cake on my plate. They burst into laughter when I told him that I wanted to eat my own and that he already had some on his plate. He pouted, and I ended up feeding him a piece as he smiled triumphantly.

When dinner was finished, people were waltzing and after a dance or two with Tsukasa, we sat down on a couch. There was a load of gifts for Tsukasa that filled up the empty room next to the ballroom. I gasped in surprise as I found out that they had even bought Tsukasa a yacht.

"Don't be surprised. I already have a yacht," he yawned.

Then it was time for Tsukasa to open his gifts. Everyone gathered up together as Tsukasa opened up his gifts. He would do the same for every gift. He would open it, pull off a fake smile, and thank who gave it to him. The only gifts that I think he actually liked were gifts from Shigeru, Sakurako, and Yuki, the rest of the F4, and his mom and sister. The girls got him a scrap book filled with information of me and Tsukasa. It was like someone could read of everything that we had gone through. The rest of the F4 got him a solid silver picture frame with a picture inside of it. Inside it was a picture of Tsukasa, me, Shigeru, Sakurako, Yuki, Soujiro, Rui, Akira, Hiro, and Akiko in our wedding. He smiled with his real smile as he opened it. He then opened his gift from Tsubaki and his mother. He opened the small box and saw that it was a Rolex watch. He wheezed and claimed that it was his father's watch. He said that he hadn't seen the watch ever since he was a little boy. He smiled as Kaede walked up to him and helped him put the watch on his wrist. The press was eating it up. I could tell that tomorrow, this was going to be on front pages many magazines. After he opened what he thought was his last gift, he stood up and I could tell that he was going to bow to thank everybody for the gifts. He really did grow manners. He was finally appreciating the things that people were offering him even though if he didn't like it very much. I could tell that he hated the gift that my parents gave him. They gave him pair of Chanel sneakers. They claimed that they found it on sale in the unisex section of the store and that it was the last one in his size. Of course, Tsukasa knew that he wasn't supposed to hurt their feelings or he would experience my wrath later on, so he just thanked them with an artificial smile.

"I have something to give you," I stood up.

As I stood up, the press and media were wildly taking pictures. Then I heard some teasing wooing and hooting. They really are perverted. When I said that I had something to give Tsukasa, I heard one of the reporters ask aloud if my gift to him was supposed to take place tonight. I then heard another say that I should wait until everyone leaves. I just laughed respectfully as I fought my urge to snap at them and roll my eyes. Tama then entered the room and carried the large poster that was hidden with wrapping paper. Tsukasa's eyes fluttered to me and looked at me with curiosity. Tama gave him the poster with a frail smile as Tsukasa gently ripped the wrapping paper off the poster. I then smiled at him as he looked at the poster, when it was finally free from wrapping paper, confused.

"Is this supposed to be some kind of art?" he asked me.

I finally rolled my eyes, "No, that's not some type of painting."

The group of reporters, my close relatives and friends, and Tsukasa's business associates burst into laughter to find out that Tsukasa still didn't know what it was. Tsukasa then looked irritated as I joined in on the laughter. I couldn't help it! It was so funny that he didn't recognize that it was an ultrasound of his future babies.

"Hey, all of you shut up! This picture is complex; I don't even get it," he ordered.

"Look closely at it!" Soujiro shouted.

"I can't believe this idiot still doesn't know what it is," Akira laughed as tears escaped the corner of his eyes.

Tsukasa continued to examine the picture before him. He put his hand on his chin and just looked at us even more confused with a little bit of embarrassment. Tsubaki then walked over to me and cupped her mouth to my ear.

"I think you should just tell him that it's an ultrasound. As his sister, I know that he had never seen one of those in his life," Tsubaki recommended.

As Tsubaki was whispering to me her advice, Tsukasa was ranting.

"How can I know what this picture is supposed to mean? It's not even in color! It's in black and white!" Tsukasa said as he threw his hands up in the air.

"It's an ultrasound for our twins!" I shouted as I cupped my mouth.

After I shouted those six words, I heard a girlish scream. I expected it to come from Kaede or my mother, but it wasn't. I looked at Kaede and she had her face in awe and excitement. Her hands were together as she smiled luminously. I knew that she didn't make that shrilling sound. I looked at my mother and she was crying. She was crying after finding out that I'm going to have a set of babies. She then nodded in approval to me as she wiped her tears away. I looked at Tsukasa and he was on the floor. He had made the shrilling, eardrum breaking scream. I swear, I never heard him scream like that in his life. He usually screamed in anger when he was mad about something, but I guess this was how his scream of happiness sounded like. Dr. Parker then emerged from the crowd of people to check if Tsukasa was alright due to him fainting. She smiled and gave a pair of thumbs up signaling me that he was alright.

"He's just really shocked," she announced to the crowd with a gentle cackle.

Tsukasa then got up and looked a little embarrassed.

"I thought you didn't want to get pregnant yet," he told me.

"Yeah, but that was part of my plan. I wanted this to be your birthday present because it's something that you can't buy and it's something that you never got," I smiled at him.

"She's a genius wife!" a reporter claimed.

With that statement, Tsukasa lifted me up, twirled me, and kissed me over and over again. He then put me down carefully and set his ear next to my abdomen. I then laughed as the press continued to take pictures. I knew that they had shots of the kiss and they were going to write about that and my announcement that we were having twins.

"Tsukasa, what are you doing?" I asked as I looked at him still setting his ear next to my stomach.

"Shh! I'm trying feel the babies' kicks," he told me.

I could tell that to Tsukasa, the press and media wasn't even there. It was only me, him, and our unborn children.

"Domyouji Tsukasa, you baka! I'm only six weeks pregnant! The babies are still embryos, so that means that they can't kick yet!" I exclaimed as once again, the crowd of guests burst into hysteria.

Haha, he did faint! Well, I think I'm getting a little predictable towards you guys! I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. I decided to make the chapters for The Marriage to be longer than the chapters in The Engagement so I could finish the story faster.

And by the way, this story is different also because, if you didn't notice (which you probably already did), I made this story in Tsukushi's point of view.

I'll see you guys in the next chapter! And thanks for taking your time to read this. :)
