Yuki came home around four to a surprise. Kyo had come home,after four months of being gone.
"Kyo-kun's home! Isn't it wonderful?"Tohru exlaimed with a smile,and Yuki smiled as well.
"Yes,it's been too quiet without him around."Yuki agreed. Mina smiled and nodded as well. Shigure wasn't home at the moment.
"How's college going?"Kyo asked Yuki,looking up at him from his seat at the table.
"It's going well."Yuki replied,setting down his bag,then sat next to Mina on the couch. Kyo noticed how big her stomach had gotten.
"So,how many months do you have left?"he asked rather awkwardly,and Mina was slightly taken aback.
"Oh,um... around four months. I'm supposed to go to the doctor in a couple of days."Mina replied. "Arisa,Hana and I already planned the baby shower,which is gonna be held here in two months."Mina said again. Yuki glanced at her,then at the rest of them.
"I've been wondering what names we should start coming up with..."Yuki wondered aloud.
"I've been wondering about that,too..."Mina agreed.
"For a girl,I think perhaps... Shina?"Yuki suggested.
"The names Shina means virtue and good..."Mina thought about that name. "Maybe. How about Ami?"Mina suggested as well.
"We'll have to decide on which one."Yuki came to the conclusion that choosing between those two names would be difficult(Ami means friend). "What about boy names?"he asked.
"Yukio."Mina answered,placing her hand on her stomach lightly.
"How about Taro?"Yuki suggested again(Again:Taro means 'first born son',and Yukio means 'get what he wants,God will nourish'). Mina smiled,then frowned.
"I think they're all wonderful names."Tohru chimed in with a smile.
"That's the thing. It'll be kinda hard to choose only one boy name or girl name."Mina sighed,then Yuki got up.
"I've got to study."he said,walking into his and Mina's room,where a new desk was placed in the far corner for him to work at.

"Happy Birthday."Yuki whispered to Mina,who was still asleep. He kissed her on the forehead,and left for college again. Mina woke up a few hours later to the smell of food cooking.
"Happy Birthday,Mina."Tohru said with a smile,handing Mina a plate of pancakes. She smiled.
"Thank you."Mina replied,and ate. She was now officially eighteen years old. Shigure came down from his room yawning,and looked at Mina.
"Ah,my young Mina,you are now officially a woman! Eighteen years old... My,my,how times flies."he sighed,and Mina gave him a small smile. Mina took the last bite of her food,and carefully stood up. She took it into the kitchen and put it in the sink,ignoring Tohru's ramblings about how she shouldn't be on her feet. "Oh,Mina,don't you have a doctor's appointment today?"he asked,and just then,Kyo came in.
"Oh,that reminds me. Yes,I do,but do you think you could drive me?"Mina asked Shigure,who nodded with a smile.
"Of course!"he said,getting up. "Come on,then!"he said in a sing-song voice.
"Shigure,my appointment's not for a few hours."Mina spoke,and Shigure stopped in his tracks,turning around.
"Ah,of course..."he sighed,feeling embarassed. Kyo snickered.
After a few hours,Mina and Shigure left. It took around twenty minutes,but they got to the hospital.
"Good afternoon,Mina."Mina's doctor greeted her in a smile. He helped her up onto the bed,and she laid down. He took out a machine to let him see the baby,and turned it on. "Her heart rate is normal,and she looks just fine."he told Mina after a little bit,writing on his clip board.
"She? It's a girl."Mina said,and her doctor nodded. She smiled,holding her stomach.
"You're free to go."he helped her down,and she left with Shigure.
"So?"he asked as they drove home,and Mina looked at him.
"It's a girl."she smiled,and Shigure smiled as well.

"Congratulations,you two."Haru smiled,shaking Mina's and Yuki's hands. He,Momiji,Kisa,Hiro,Ayame,and Hatori were the first to arrive within the first twenty minutes to the Baby Shower. After a little bit,Kagura,Rin,Ritsu,Kureno and Akito arrived. Rin only came over because Kagura had begged her endlessly,by the way. Akito gave Mina a smile,then looked at Yuki. She sighed(And YES,Akito is a GIRL. If you didn't know that yet,then you haven't read Volume 17.).
"Yuki,I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused you."Akito told him. Yuki gave her a small smile.
"It's alright."Yuki placed his hand on her shoulder. The party went on for another half an hour.
"Oh,this is so adorable!"Mina exclaimed,holding up the pair of girl's pajamas that Kisa had given her. "Thank you,Kisa."Mina hugged her relative lightly.
"Hiro-chan told me you'd like it,so that's the one I got."Kisa smiled,and Hiro's eyes went wide.
"Kisa..."he looked at his feet,a blush making it's way onto his face. Mina smiled,and giggled. She gave him a kiss on the cheek,and he gasped,his face turning a darker shade of pink. He held his cheek,stunned. Everyone laughed,not at him,but with him,although he wasn't laughing. After opening the rest of the presents,Yuki took Mina outside. They looked at the sunset,then Yuki took something out of his pocket. Some of the others curiously watched from the window as Yuki kneeled on one knee. Kagura,being one of the ones who was looking through the window gasped. Mina yelled,and hugged Yuki after he stood up. After another minute,they both came back in hand in hand,a beautiful diamond ring on Mina's wedding finger.
"Mina has just agreed to marry me."Yuki announced,and they all cheered.
