So, I can't say this is the best chapter, but it's a good one! And of course, the main couple encounters a new "path."

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter and all the chapters beforehand. It made me so happy! Now, here's the new chapter. Enjoy ^_^

Sakura P.O.V.

"Syaoran what's wrong?" I asked sitting down on the sofa.

"Shiefa."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, it's just apparently there are a few pregnancy complications."

"But it's okay right?" I didn't want either Shiefa or the baby to get hurt.

"Sakura it's okay, they went yesterday and according to the doctor the baby might be born a bit early that's all."

"Oh good." It had been a while since my sudden running away. The baby was supposed to come the first week in June and it was already been six weeks since my running away stint. Plus, the next weekend was a holiday.

"Hey Sakura." I stopped flipping through the channels.

"Hmm?"

"Let's go somewhere next weekend."

"Go somewhere?"

"Yeah, we can take a trip and go to say Shanghai or Singapore and just spend some time together. What do you say?"

"Well," I thought about it. It was a four-day weekend because of the Dragon boat festival and Tomoyo and I had already released the spring collection. "Sure, where would we go though?"

"I don't know, why don't you pick." I thought about it before standing up and heading to the kitchen.

"Singapore. Say, Syaoran, do you want some cake, I picked it up on my way home from work."

"Sure. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Chiharu or Takashi in a while."

"They're fine and so cute."

"Cute?" I laughed at my boyfriends puzzled answer.

"Their relationship." I replied coming back out with the slices. "Here, I got your favorite."

Syaoran P.O.V.

"Hey Takashi." I mumbled walking into the store.

"Hey Syaoran, what's up? Haven't seen you in a while."

"Everything's fine. What about you?"

"Fine too. So did you come to make an order?"

"Yeah but, I don't want it anymore."

"Why?"

"Takashi, how long did you date Chiharu before proposing?"

"I think it was like three months. Why?" I glared at the cakes on display and didn't reply for the longest time. I seriously would have been a liar if I didn't admit that the promise I made with Sakura had been haunting me.

"Sakura and I-" Takashi interrupted me.

"Syaoran, love works in different ways. Now are you sure you don't want to order?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry I wasted your time Takashi, I have to go." I muttered a quick goodbye and left.

When I arrived at the apartment a half hour later, Sakura was pacing around the living room and Kero was following her.

"What's up?"

"Shiefa's in labor."

"And you didn't-" My girlfriend help up my cell phone. "Let's go." We both got into the car and I noticed the time, eight p.m. We drove in silence for a while before my phone rang again. Sakura answered it.

"Hello. Really? Can we still visit? Oh okay, bye." She hung up and turned to me as we stopped at a stoplight. "Turn around, we're going home."

"Why?"

"Visiting hours are over. By the way Syaoran, you have a nephew named Nian."

"Nephew?"

"Yes." I sighed dejectedly before turning around. "So, I guess our weekend plans are cancelled huh?"

"Yeah, but I don't mind. Do you?"

"No."

Sakura P.O.V.

So our weekend Singapore trip was cancelled. Well, that was okay. Summer was going to be here soon enough. I scanned the calendar in front of me looking for a date Syaoran and I could "have" our trip. Said man peered over my shoulder.

"What are you looking at?"

"Well, since our trip was cancelled I'm looking at possible dates in June that we could "redo" it on."

"Hmm. Try the third weekend in June. That won't be a problem will it?" It had only been a week since Nian's birth and the date Syaoran suggested was two weeks away.

"No, I'll tell Tomoyo. Is it really okay with you though?"

"Yes. So, when is everyone coming over?"

"Eight." The everyone Syaoran was talking about included Yue, Yukito, Meiling, and Ryu.

"Well that's good then, seeing as how they're here." Syaoran left my side as I put the calendar away to open the door. "Hey everyone."

"Hi Syaoran." Meiling walked in followed by the three men. "We're not early right?"

"Nah. Sakura's had dinner ready for an hour, we can dig in anytime."

"Speaking of, where is she?" asked Mei.

"I'm here in the kitchen!" I called out. Moments later, she joined me in the kitchen.

Dinner was always eventful, whenever we had guests over. It was also helpful to people like me since I found out Syaoran had a business trip coming up.

"You, Syaoran, and Eriol are going to Tokyo?" I asked Yue.

"Yeah, to finalize everything. Why?"

"Just wondering. So when is it planned?"

"The second week in July." I smiled in relief. At least Syaoran and I wouldn't have to postpone our weekend trip again.

Ryu P.O.V.

Here I was shopping for rings with Syaoran and let's just say it was entertaining spending time with my cousin-in-law in this way. I didn't blame him for wanting to find the perfect ring. I remember how frenzied I was when I proposed to Mei. Sighing, I reflected on the events last night that had led up to this.

Flashback

After Mei left for the kitchen, Syaoran turned to face me, Yue and Yukito.

"I've decided when to ask her."

"When?" Yukito asked.

"Our weekend trip."

"Are you sure?" Yue questioned.

"Yes. But I still need the-"

"Syaoran, are you free tomorrow?" I asked interrupting the conversation. It was obvious that the girls might hear details. Really, he needed to be more discreet about this entire engagement business.

"Um, yeah." He replied confused.

"Then we'll go shopping for it tomorrow okay?" I stated emphasizing the "it."

"All right." Realization dawned on my cousin-in law's face.

End Flashback

"Ryu, look at this." I walked up and noticed the unique ring Syaoran had picked out. I inspected the ring closer and noticed that there was a flawless design.

"Wow."

"So, is that all you think?" Syaoran asked as I stared at the ring. It was a set of seven diamonds arranged so that one remained in the center and the rest formed the petals of a flower. Overall, it was something that I thought Sakura would enjoy. I couldn't help asking Syaoran the question that had been bothering me for a while though.

"Syaoran why are you buying a ring? I thought the Li family would have one it passes down."

"It passes down a different ring. The ring signifying the heads of the family. You've seen my mom wear it haven't you Ryu? When I get married, my future wife and I will receive those rings."

I nodded my head in understanding looking at the ring in Syaoran's hand again. After three stores, I was glad we'd settled on this one.

"Syaoran, I think you found the ring, now just fix it in her size."

"Oh-"

"What oh? Do you not know it?"

"Uh hold on." Syaoran pulled out his cell phone and called someone. I didn't pay attention to the conversation until Syaoran turned back to the store employee. "I'd like it in a size six please." Well that was one thing I could cross off my list: spend time with cousins. Mei's family wasn't too bad after all.

Syaoran P.O.V.

I took my seat next to Sakura on the jet. We'd both be enjoying the three and a half hour flight to Singapore, or at least I would be sleeping and Sakura would be enjoying the flight. I'd stayed up last night making sure all the reservations in Singapore were ready and this morning Eriol called me in early to look at something that I didn't even need to look at.

"Syaoran?"

"Hmm?" I turned to Sakura.

"Go to sleep." I smiled at my girlfriend, and hopefully soon to be something else, before nodding and resting my head back to catch a few winks.

When I woke up again, Sakura was looking out the window at the Singapore skyline and I peered over her shoulder to look.

"It's pretty isn't it?" I asked her. She looked back at me startled for a moment before nodding her head yes. "I had Eriol book us transportation for our stay here. We're going to eat at an up-scale restaurant tonight."

"So, you've made reservations?"

"Yes. We should have enough time to get to the hotel and freshen up before going." I felt inside my pocket and touched the box that I'd left there.

"All right. You should sit back Syaoran we're landing soon." I nodded and soon enough we hit ground once again. After leaving and gathering our luggage, we made our way to the outside pick up area and there I saw a driver holding up a card with my name on it.

"Hello," I approached the man, "I'm Syaoran Li." The driver nodded and soon we were on our way to the hotel. The drive was beautiful in its own right since Singapore was a bustling city with so much to see. When we arrived at the hotel, I was surprised to see that the ride had taken a half hour. I gave the driver instructions concerning the restaurant reservation before following Sakura inside. We were led up to our room and returned downstairs a half hour later ready for dinner.

Once at the restaurant, I walked up to the maître and gave him specific instructions as well as the ring box. Eriol had assured me that the restaurant, Shimizu Japanese restaurant, was renowned for its customer service and I trusted the blue-haired maniac's words. After receiving the box, he lead us to a table and gave us menus. I looked through and made my decision waiting for Sakura to make hers. She made hers soon enough and a waiter came over asking for our order.

"I'll take the Kami Nabe Special paper pot." I answered turning to Sakura.

"The Tepanyaki prawn."

"And for drinks?"

"I'll take a coke please." Once again, I turned to Sakura.

"Mineral water." The waiter nodded assuring us our order would arrive soon and left. "So, why exactly this restaurant?" Sakura asked interrupting the silence left in the wake of the waiter's absence.

"Well, there's this dessert I really want to try." I lied. Truthfully, that dessert was the key to my entire plan. "It's called a Titanic and it's an ice cream sundae of sorts shaped like a ship."

"That sounds interesting, but are you sure you can eat all that?"

"Well, I was hoping that my lovely date for the evening would share with me."

"Why, I think she'd enjoy that." We continued our flirtatious banter, as Fai would have put it, and when our order arrived, inhaled the food. After a pleasant meal, the waiter came by for our dessert order.

"We'd like a titanic please." The waiter nodded and after he left I excused myself quickly, glad that the bathrooms were in the same direction he headed. I spotted the waiter and eyed the order.

"Is everything to your liking sir?" I regarded the dessert. Four wafer sticks stuck up on sides, along with a few mango pieces making the ship and on one of the sticks, I noticed the ring I'd given the maître.

"It's perfect." The waiter handed me the box and walked to our table with me following. He set down the dessert in front of Sakura and I waited patiently as Sakura eyed the dessert.

"Syaoran, what's that?" She asked pointing to the ring. I took a deep breath and plucked out the ring before getting down on one knee.

"Sakura Kinomoto, I- I love you. And I know that you are truly the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. There's something about the way you just bring joy into my life. I'm glad I got to know you and over the past nine months: well those were the happiest nine months of my life. I love you and I want to be your husband, to be with you always, to take care of you, to hold you, to cherish you, and to love you forever. So, I'd like to ask you to marry me." I paused for a second before continuing. "Sakura Kinomoto, will you marry me?"

I looked up at her expectantly. My body was pumping out adrenaline and I could feel my heart palpating. It was a fifty fifty chance I took, I just hoped that the "yes" fifty percent would win out over the "no." After staying there for a while and attracting quite a few stares from the other restaurant customers, Sakura shakily grasped my hand in both of hers and mumbled a quiet yes. Overjoyed, I almost forgot to slip the ring onto her finger before standing up and kissing her.

"Yes," She said louder after I stood up, "I'll marry you Syaoran Li." I couldn't believe my luck and hardly heard the applause around the restaurant as we took our seats again. "Now what say we finish this Titanic?" My fiancé murmured.

So what do you think? I had fun writing the proposal scene. Now, the story's ending, but I have two options for everyone:

Option one: Write the ending chapter and an epilogue, which takes place later on in SxS's life.

Option two: Write the ending chapter and start a new story that continues, per say, aroudn the spot the old one left off.

Either option's fine with me. I love writing this story and don't mind writing more.
