MBFBM Chapter 20
Tara: Last chapter! But there is an epilogue, just reminding you.
I'm keeping this short, the author note I mean, I will, eventually get to finish my other stories but since I'm starting Grade 10 soon, I won't be able to update as much, but hopefully every weekend I'll try to update.
Edit: Okay sorry! I ended up forgetting to update so yeah… but this time I WILL update every weekend otherwise if I don't…PM me . and rant on me for not updating.
I don't own Shugo chara! Peach-pit does.
Previously on 'My Best Friend's Best Man'…
"Amu, will you marry me?" He asked gently smiling. Amu looked up at him with tears in her honey-golden eyes smiling widely.
"Yes. A million times yes!" She yelled tackling him in a hug. He chuckled grinning widely as he caught her and slipped the ring on her finger. Ikuto leaned down kissing her deeply. Amu smiled into the kiss, Ikuto leaned his forehead against hers.
"I love you…" They said in unison. They both laughed quietly.
"Ikuto?" Amu asked resting her head on his chest.
"Hm?" Ikuto nuzzled his face in her hair.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Loving me."

(Amu's POV)
It's been a week since Ikuto had proposed to me and it was hard for me to believe the girls hadn't ambushed me yet. Then again, I may have spoken too soon. Today was the day I had to go for an ultrasound and Ikuto and I were way too excited for our own good.
"Amu! Come on, let's go!" Ikuto urged.
"Okay, okay, give me a break, I'm pregnant!" I giggled.
"Okay then!" Ikuto rushed up the stairs and picked me up rushing me downstairs making me squeal.
"You sure are excited for this, aren't you?" I laughed.
"Of course! My soon-to-be wife carrying my baby and I want to go to the ultrasound." He almost whined. I kissed him to silence his rambling.
"Calm down." I grinned.
"Sorry." Ikuto smirked not sounding really sorry at all. I smiled anyway.
We got into my car and he decided to drive. When we got to the hospital, someone was instantly there to assist us.
"Hi, you must be Miss Hinamori, you are scheduled for an ultrasound at 11:00, right?"
"That's right." I grinned. The doctor smiled at Ikuto and I.
"Please follow me." Ikuto squeezed my hand and I looked up at him curiously. He merely smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back. We followed the doctor and I thought they would ask me to change into those gross hospital gowns. I inwardly shuddered.
"Please lie down on the bed and lift up your shirt." The doctor began walking around the dark room gathering some blue goop making me grimace a bit as I lay down. The machine next to me got me slightly giddy as I thought of seeing my baby on the screen.
Ikuto kissed my forehead tenderly and I saw love, adoration and excitement easily in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I never introduced myself… I'm Dr. Kawasaki but please call me Mira desu~" She said cheerfully. I giggled to myself. She reminded me a lot of Ran and Suu. She began putting the goop on my stomach then powering up the machine. I grinned as an image came up on the screen and tears involuntarily welled up in my eyes even though the image was only the size of a small bean. Wait…make that two…TWO?!
"Congratulations, you're pregnant with twins!" Mira said grinning.
"Twins…" I breathed grinning. Ikuto's grip tightened around my hand as he bent down giving me a searing kiss. Mira cleared her throat and Ikuto reluctantly pulled away. Mira giggled.
"You'll be able to find out the gender's when you're around 5-6 months, do you want to find out?" She asked.
I looked at Ikuto and we both nodded. "We'll keep it a surprise." We said in unison.
"Well then, see you at your next ultrasound." Mira grinned before handing me a towel to wipe off the blue goop.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I had to cover my ears from the squeals my friends produced. Ikuto's arms tightened around me as he rested his chin on top my head gently rubbing slow circles around my stomach. I couldn't help but smile at the gesture as I put my hands over his looking up at him. He smiled back at me giving me a soft kiss. He hasn't been perverted lately but I guess that's just because I was pregnant. There was a small yet firm kick and I noticed Ikuto's eyes bugged out slightly as he looked at my stomach. I grinned suppressing a squeal.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Yaya squealed. I grinned. "Uh huh!" I replied excitedly.
"How far along are you?" Rima asked smiling widely.
"Around four months." I started feeling giddy talking about my pregnancy.
"I knew I saw something different about you, Amu, you're practically glowing!" Utau commented.
"Hard to believe you didn't notice the baby bump." I smirked slightly.
"Well, you're wearing such loose clothes and—BABY BUMP WHERE?!" Tara almost tackled me before remembering I was pregnant. "Can we see?" They all asked excited. I giggled lifting up my shirt slightly. The girls all 'awed' at me while I giggled. Nagihiko, Kukai, Katsuki, Skye and Ikuto were chuckling.
"When are you going to have the wedding?" Natsuya asked.
"Hmm…maybe a couple of months after the baby is born…" I mused. They all squealed again.
"Can I decorate? PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!?" Yaya pleaded. I thought for a minute remembering all these designs she's had in past parties and agreed. "Sure!"
"I can perform at your wedding if you want?" Utau said.
"Ooh! What colours do you want?" Natsuya asked excitedly. "Yaya, can I help with the decorating?" She added.
"Hai, Hai~!"
"Guys…" I started.
"Hey~! What flavour cake do you want?" Rima asked thoughtfully.
"Can I do music and decorating?" Tara squealed.
"Guys!" I said a bit louder.
"We need a caterer, flowers, a tailor for your dress, entertainers—" Rima.
"GUYS!" I yelled. They all abruptly stopped talking.
"We'll plan the wedding AFTER I have my baby, okay?" I said bewildered.
"Sorry…" They all apologized sheepishly. I just laughed quietly at them. I turned towards Ikuto smiling slightly.
"By the way, Ikuto…" I started smiling sheepishly.
"Hm?" Ikuto said looking at me curiously.
"I apologize in advance for when I have this baby…" I said leaning my head back on his shoulder. He looked at me confused.
"Why?" He asked.
"You'll see."

5 months later…
"IKUTO TSUKIYOMI, I AM NEVER LETTING YOU TOUCH ME AGAIN!" I shouted breathing heavily. The nurses giggled and I could see the doctor trying to stifle a laugh. I scowled and Ikuto was cringing.
"Now I know what she meant by when she was apologizing 5 months ago…" Ikuto cringed.
"Come on Ms. Hinamori, You're doing very well, keep going." The doctor reassured and I pushed harder.
"Good job! Just a little more!" The doctor urged. I was squeezing the life out of Ikuto's hands but I couldn't exactly find it in me to care from being in so much pain. Ikuto didn't seem to mind and squeezed my hand right back. The doctors finally got my baby and as I finally started to relax, another pain shot through me. I cursed loudly as I remembered the second baby. I began pushing again, harder than before.
"Keep going, Amu…you're doing great…I love you." Ikuto whispered in my ear. I was breathing heavily as I finally gave birth to my babies. Tears were coming out of my eyes and Ikuto kissed them away. The babies were washed and cleaned and I soon had them back in my arms.
"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby boy…" The doctor handed him to me. "…And a healthy baby girl!" The doctor said happily. I laughed through my tears holding my baby boy.
"What are their names?" A nurse asked. I looked at Ikuto smiling and he grinned back.
"Ryuu…Ryuu Keitaro Tsukiyomi…my strong, blessed dragon" I smiled down at my new baby boy seeing small strands of red hair. His small eyes opened revealing piercing blue orbs and I smiled as his tiny hand gripped my forefinger.
"My beautiful little girl…Natsumi Yuuki Tsukiyomi." Ikuto smiled lovingly at the little girl in his arms. He looked slightly scared as if he were afraid to drop her knowing a baby was so fragile, delicate and vulnerable. Our little girl had Ikuto's midnight blue hair and wide golden eyes. The doctor told us to huddle together for a first family photo. Ikuto handed Natsumi over to me as I supported our two babies in my arms. Ikuto sat on the side of my hospital bed leaning over me and kissing me gently. I heard a flash click and grinned.
I was wheeled to one of the recovery rooms with my babies and suddenly all our friends shuffled themselves into the room excited. Yaya was literally jumping with excitement while the others were grinning widely.
"Aww~! They are so cute!" Yaya gushed. I giggled.
"They are, aren't they?" I said quietly since they were sleeping.
"What did you name them?" Tara asked holding back a squeal.
"Natsumi Yuuki and Ryuu Keitaro…" I smiled.
"That's so cute…" The girls sighed dreamily. Kukai walked up behind Utau wrapping his arms around her waist. Utau blushed as she remembered something. I looked at them suspiciously.
"Oh yeah…you guys, Kukai and I have some news and…" She paused. "…We're getting married!" She squealed a bit showing her left hand and for sure there was a ring with a heart-shaped stone. All us girls let out a small squeal while the guys congratulated Kukai.
"I'm so happy for you guys!" I congratulated Utau and Kukai. They both gave me gentle hugs making sure not to wake the babies.
X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X
And to think…I'm here now, getting ready for my wedding…3 months of wedding plans were hectic and I haven't seen a thing of the wedding reception. They all claim it to be a 'surprise', I've tried asking Ikuto but apparently he doesn't know either. I was smiling so much, my face pulled into a full-blown grin I felt as if I was going to break my face in half I was so happy. With Rima as my maid of honor, she's been trying to get me to calm down enough to relax my face so Natsuya could finish my make-up. Tara was straightening my hair and Utau was holding down on my shoulders to make me stop fidgeting. It was really funny.
"Amu! Sit still, honestly if you don't stop shaking with excitement, there's this thing called a hair straightener that WILL burn you if you don't stop moving!" Tara scolded. I pouted.
"I'm sorry! I'm just really, really excited! I'm going to be married to Ikuto freaking Tsukiyomi!" I squealed.
"Wow déjà vu…" Rima said. Natsuya was putting light lip-gloss on my lips that tasted like strawberry only using natural make-up.
"All right… now get your butt in the bedroom and change into your dress, you're gonna look awesome!" Utau grinned.
"You're becoming more and more like Kukai, I swear…" I teased shaking my head. She smirked.
"Well, I'm getting married to him, aren't I?" Utau smiled. I laughed quietly.
"Touché…" I said before walking into my bedroom and putting on my dress. I took a look in the mirror and I had to admit, I looked beautiful. The dress was a natural white and strapless. The top bit acted like a wrap and flowed down to the bottom. I put on a silver bracelet and blue sapphire stud earrings before breathing deeply and smiling at my reflection (Dress on profile!). I slipped on my white peep-toe 2-inch heels and walked down finding the girls in their dresses. The maid of honor and bridesmaids' dresses were a sky blue with a white belt across the waist as the dress flowed down wearing white peep-toe heels like mine. Utau came in holding Natsumi and I grinned walking over to them.
"Hello my precious little Natsumi…" I rubbed my nose with hers as she reached out for me. I smiled and carried her on my hip. She looked so cute in her little blue dress and small white flats. "Where's your brother?" I asked her and looked at Utau.
"Ryuu's with the guys, Kukai claims to have 'read his mind' saying Ryuu wanted to be with the 'men'." Utau snorted. I giggled.
"I can't believe you kept me from seeing him from yesterday and today…" I mumbled accusingly.
"It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride the day before the wedding day!" My mom said.
"Why is it bad luck?" I asked incredulously.
"Just because!" Yaya retorted before Rima replied. I huffed and there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Tara asked walking to the door.
"Amu-chan~ It's me!" My dad cried. I laughed softly and Tara opened the door. My dad practically jumped on me pulling me into a tight hug.
"Careful there, Papa, I am carrying Natsumi…" I warned. He loosened his hug and smiled.
"I can't believe my little sparrow is flying away!" My dad said dramatically.
"Papa…" I sweatdropped before giving him a hug with Natsumi still on my hip, "Papa, I'll always be your little girl… besides you still have Ami to take care of." I smirked knowing he'd have to go through the overprotective father thing again since Ami's a teenager now. He sighed but grinned.
"I know…I'm not letting her grow up…" He mumbled to himself. I laughed. "Papa…" I warned still smiling. "I know, I know…" He sighed in defeat and we both laughed.
"Oh right! I almost forgot what I came here for, but it's time." Tsumugu smiled. My mom, Midori watched us with tears in her eyes. She kissed dad on the cheek murmuring 'I'm proud of you' and I smiled to myself. I hadn't realised that the other girls had left already and there was Rima left waiting for me.
We went outside with my parents and Nagihiko was standing behind the plants of the aisle waiting for Rima. I looked at our surroundings and grinned. My ideal wedding: A beach wedding at sunset…there was a slight breeze and it was just at the right time when the sun was setting. I watched as Natsuya and Katsuki went together and saw the Katsuki was smirking a bit as Natsuya blushed. It reminded me a lot of Ikuto and I. Then there was Tara and Skye. Tara shyly wrapped her arm around Skye's arm as they began walking. Lastly, Nagihiko and Rima, Nagi looked down at Rima lovingly before they began walking. Rima stood next to the altar and Nagihiko stood on the other side. I saw cobalt blue hair and grinned not being able to wait to see Ikuto. (Picture of beach on profile)
I took a deep breath realizing it was my turn and my mom and dad stood by my sides. I turned the corner and looked up looking straight into my favourite sapphire blue eyes. He looked so handsome in his black tux. He was smiling softly and his eyes widened as he saw me. I blushed and found his eyes clouded with love and joy. From what seemed like forever, I finally reached him and my dad placed my hand in his.
"Take care of my daughter, Ikuto." Tsumugu said sternly. Ikuto smirked slightly.
"With my life." I blushed again at his answer. I looked at everyone grinning when I saw Ryuu on my mom's lap, his striking red hair making it hard not to spot him, his wide piercing blue orbs sparkled and contrasted with his hair only making him cuter in his white tux.
"Do you, Ikuto Tsukiyomi, take this woman, Amu Hinamori, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest said.
"I do." Ikuto said with no hesitation smirking.
"Do you, Amu Hinamori, take this man, Ikuto Tsukiyomi, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, to be your lawfully wedded husband?" I barely let him finished the question.
"I do!" I grinned blinking back tears. I'm sure my eyes shone with happiness and so did Ikuto's.
"You may now kiss the bride." And with those words, Ikuto took me in his arms giving me a passionate kiss and I eagerly kissed back, he smiled into the kiss and lifted me up as I wrapped my arms around his neck. There were rounds of catcalls but I couldn't find it in me to care.
X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X
"Come on, you guys, this isn't funny, why are we blindfolded and where are you taking us?" Ikuto asked. Apparently, we were both suddenly blinded by two white cloths and are now being taken somewhere. Sadly, Ikuto and I don't know where.
"Don't worry, we're almost there, you're gonna love it!" Utau said.
"Trust me, you two, we put a lot of work into this…" Katsuki mumbled. I heard a small smack.
"Ow! Natsuya…" Katsuki whined. I giggled to myself.
"What? Next time keep your comments to yourself." Natsuya said to him.
We were finally stopped and it got quiet.
"Okay, you can take off your blindfolds." Tara said excitedly. Ikuto and I tore off our blindfolds and I gasped while Ikuto looked at the place wide-eyed.
The room was dark with purple and blue neon lights. There were tables and chairs surrounded by white cloth, the tables being surrounded by rose petals and white roses, a white stage that stood out in front of them; there was a DJ stereo in the back surround system. There was a fountain with a statue of a strawberry and on the other corner a fountain with a statue of the cat. Sat on the buffet table, was an ice sculpture with a cat hugging a strawberry, it was really cute. Ikuto and I stared in astonishment before I let out possibly the loudest squeal I ever had in my life. (Room in profile! Imagine the sculptures . remember it's only similar!)
"Oh my gosh! This is so awesome, I can't believe you did all this, we love it!" I yelled in one breath.
"Wow…" was all Ikuto said before hugging me. "Our friends really went all out, huh?" He mumbled nuzzling my neck.
"I know…I can't believe it…it's all so beautiful…I can only imagine how much this all cost…" I mumbled.
"Now, no thinking about that, it's our wedding, let's have some fun, huh?" He smirked licking my earlobe.
"Perv…" I said blushing madly.
"You love me for it." He chuckled. I grinned. "That I do…"
Everyone was filing in the room and Kukai went over to the DJ stereo putting some music on.
"Give it up for our own Idol, Utau Hoshina!" Kukai yelled with the headphones around his neck.
"This song is dedicated to the newly weds!" Utau grinned.
(I will always love you – Whitney Houston – I do not own! .)
If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
(Instrumental solo)
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.
I smiled at Ikuto and began singing the words quietly in his ear. He arms tightened around my waist.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.
You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always; I'll always love you.
(Really love this song~ XD)
Everyone applauded at Utau and I loved the song she chose. It represented my feelings for Ikuto so well. Ikuto cupped my face and I looked up at him smiling as he bent down giving me a searing kiss.
"I love you so much, Amu…" He mumbled in my ear. My heart soared. I will never get tired of hearing that.
"I love you too Ikuto… more than you ever know…"
(Natsuya's POV – during the song)
"Hey Natsuya…" Katsuki started.
"Hm? What is it?" I asked watching Amu and Ikuto dance. I saw Katsuki smirk from the corner of my eye.
"Wanna dance?" He asked nonchalantly reaching his hand out.
"Heh? U-Uh…Okay." I said taking his hand. He pulled me up making me crash into his hard chest. I blushed and regained my balance slowly putting my arms around his neck as his large hands rested on my waist. I never usually blush this much around him…what happened?
You're in love with him.
What? No, I'm not.
Yes, You are. Admit it.
I'm not.
Are too.
Are not.
Are too.
WHY am I even talking to you?
You're talking to yourself, sweetie. Basically, I'm you.
Shut. Up.
"You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always; I'll always love you." Utau sang the end of the song right as Katsuki leaned into my ear.
"Natsuya…I'm in love with you." He whispered softly in my ear. I froze. The words spilled out of my mouth before I could stop them.
"I love you too…Katsuki." I smiled and Katsuki leaned down brushing his lips against mine.
(Skye's POV)
"Finally…" I heard Tara mumble in my chest. I chuckled.
"What 'finally'?" I asked looking at her softly.
"Natsuya and Katsuki…" She smiled. I looked over at them and sure enough Katsuki leaned down to kiss her. I chuckled again.
"What's so funny?" She said smiling.
"Nothing…it's just that everyone's together and happy, it's nice…" I replied swaying us to the music.
"Yeah… you look really handsome in your tux by the way…" She grinned. I grinned back. "Why thank you, my girlfriend picked it out for me." I smirked.
"She must be very lucky…" Tara said playing along.
"Make that the other way round and you're absolutely right…" I mumbled against her lips before kissing her.
"I love you Skye…" She said lovingly. "And I you, Tara…" I replied back.
(Utau's POV)
I finished the song while looking at Kukai and as the song faded, he put a slightly more upbeat song up. I grinned and walked up to him wrapping my arms around his waist.
"You did great up there, Utau." Kukai grinned showing his dimples. I almost swooned.
"Looks like everyone got their happy ending, huh?" I smiled up at him.
"Definitely."
(Rima's POV)
I was dancing along with the song Utau sang comfortably in the embrace of Nagihiko. I smiled closing my eyes as we swayed to the song.
"I can't believe we actually did it." I mumbled.
"Yeah, I knew they'd thank us one day…" Nagihiko chuckled above me.
"All because of us, now they're married." I smirked.
He chuckled again and bent down to kiss me as I blushed slightly. He smirked.
"You've been hanging around Ikuto too long…" I mumbled. He chuckled.
(Amu's POV)
It was time to throw the bouquet and all the girls immediately stood up to get it. I giggled at them and turned around.
"All right! One…two…THREE!" I threw the bouquet back and it landed in Tara's hands. I saw her blushing madly while she looked at Skye. He smirked back at her making her blush even more, I was suddenly pushed down onto a chair by Rima and Utau who had these evil glints in their eyes.
"What are you up to?" I asked suspiciously.
"It's time for Ikuto to reach the garter under your dress." Rima said innocently. I blushed.
"W-what?!" I yelled. Ikuto came closer to be and bent down smirking at me. I blushed madly as he slowly lifted my dress up sliding his hand up my leg reaching for the garter. All the girls screamed and squealed as Ikuto reached for the garter. He finally pulled it down slightly to my knee before using his teeth to take it off my leg. I shivered and he smirked at my reaction before kissing me and flicking the garter in a random direction conveniently landing on Skye's head. It was his turn to blush as he held the garter in his hands while looking at Tara.
The cake was then brought out and we fed each other the cake smiling. We were all exhausted and Ikuto and I still had a plane to catch going to Hawaii. My mom and dad along with the rest of our friends said they would take care of the twins while we were gone. I smiled at the path my life took.
Who knew that I would marry, my best friend's best man?
Tara: It's finally done! OMG, my fingers hurt, and I'm sick! .
