A/N: I'm actually getting an early start on a chapter…let's hope I get finished in time! Enjoy, and review.
The lights romantically dimmed and some soft music from the live orchestra.
"Sakura, I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura hesitated.
Then, she got down on the floor with Syaoran and hugged him.
"Yes, I will. I love you…" Sakura started crying, and Syaoran enveloped her back into his arms.
The other people in the restraint started applauding.

Kero and Tomoyo, still hiding in the bushes, dabbed at their eyes with a hankie.
"My little Sakura…all grown up, getting married," Tomoyo sobbed.
Kero tried to give her a hug (it didn't work very well, he's only, what, 5 inches tall?) and Tomoyo said, "I'm okay now. We have a wedding to plan!!!!"
"We?" Kero asked, confused.
Tomoyo rushed off already, dialing furiously into her cell phone and shouting orders into another phone.
Kero shrugged and flew off.

After eating their dessert, Sakura and Syaoran happily walked home (the car…. went home by itself, okay?), hand in hand as Sakura kept on admiring her ring.
"I'm so glad you like it…" Syaoran said, relieved.
To himself, he thought 'I'm NEVER going jewelry shopping AGAIN!!'
"I wouldn't have cared if you got me one of those plastic rings…it's the thought that counts," Sakura said sweetly.
She gave him another hug, and whispered in his ear, "If you ever get me a plastic one, I'm going to KILL you."
Syaoran chuckled and they continued walking home.
As soon as they arrived in from of Sakura's home, Syaoran went in with Sakura.
"Daddy!!!!!! Oniichan!!!!!" Sakura yelled.
Touya came thundering down and Fujitaka came out from the kitchen, wiping his hands on his apron.
"Hey, Syaoran! Why don't you join us for dessert? We already had dinner," Fujitaka asked.
Touya scowled, crossing his arms across his chest
"Sure—but I gotta warn you, we already had triple-layer chocolate lasagna cake and tiramisu!" Sakura giggled.
Syaoran followed Sakura into the dining room.
"Daddy, I'm getting married!!!" Sakura squealed.
Fujitaka raised his eyebrows.
"What? Dad, my sister, who is 7 years younger than me, is GETTING MARRIED before me?" Touya exploded.
"Well, it's the right thing…she IS pregnant," Fujitaka counteracted.
Touya raised his eyebrows in defeat.
Sakura showed her father her ring.
"Mmm…pretty…" Fujitaka said.
He cleared his throat and asked, "So does Yelan Li know about this?"
Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other. "Oops?"
"You guys should fly up to see her…and tell her about the marriage and pregnancy. So when's the wedding?"
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the scream of joy we heard at the restaurant behind the plants told me that Tomoyo has already planned the whole ceremony."
Fujitaka nodded, smiling slightly.
"Well, we're going to America in about two weeks, so we could get married a few days before and have our honeymoon in America," Sakura suggested.
"Well, you should start getting prepared. Where are you going to live after being married?" Fujitaka asked.
"We were thinking of living in Syaoran's apartment, but that might get a little crowded after having our baby…" Sakura said.
Touya snorted.
Sakura gave him a look, and Syaoran hastily said, "We should get going…Sakura needs a lot of rest. We'll buy tickets to Hong Kong tonight online and leave tomorrow night…and we'll be back in two days."
Fujitaka nodded again.
"But isn't that a bit sudden? Getting married in a week? People I know get married in about three months to a year after the engagement," Touya broke in.
Sakura shrugged.
"If we get married sooner, we can have our honeymoon in America, plus, when we're traveling we won't have to get a two bed room….hehehehe," Sakura laughed.
Syaoran carried a giggling Sakura upstairs as Touya scowled again.
Fujitaka put his arm around his shoulder and they both sighed.
At the same time, they said, "She's growing up…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, Sakura woke up.
She stretched her arms and yawned, and her eyes fell on two electronic tickets on her desk.
"Flight to HKA from TDA at 12:30 pm today. Arrive at 2:00. Flight to TDA from HKA at 9:00 am. Arrive back here in Japan at noon," Sakura read aloud.
She looked at the time and nearly screamed.
"OH MY GOSH IT'S 10 IN THE MORNING????"
Soon there was a whirl of suitcases, clothes, underclothes, more clothes, money and tickets flying in the air.
In a record twenty minutes, Sakura was dressed in a red and beige plaid skirt with a tan halter on, tan platforms and a matching purse, holding a suitcase. The outfit was topped off with a large, floppy hat sunglasses…
'Wow, being late to school really made me a fast dresser."
"Dad, I'm leaving for the airport! Bye!"
Sakura was out the door.
Talking to herself aloud, Sakura said, "Syaoran's probably not even up. I'll make him a cup of coffee while he packs, and then we can leave by 11 for the airport."
There was a loud honk from behind her, and to her disappointment, Syaoran was up and running.
"Hey honey, let's go to the airport. Got the tickets?"
"Yeah," Sakura nodded and climbed in.
"You look beautiful," Syaoran said, and kissed Sakura on the cheek.
"You don't think I should wear this halter, should I? I mean, it makes my tummy look bigger than usual, and with the baby and all…" Sakura trailed off.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go!"
Syaoran pressed the gas and the car vroomed off, making a stop at McDonald's for breakfast.
They boarded the plane safely and took off, waiting quietly as they listened to the drone of the engine.
"Welcome aboard one of the many planes of Japan Airlines. Please carefully listen to the safety instructions in the event of an emergency…."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"There he is!! SYAORAN!!!!!!! LITTLE WOLF!!!!"
Syaoran cringed as he recognized his mother's loud, commanding voice.
Sakura giggled at the blush creeping up on Syaoran's cheeks as people turned to stare at him.
They went over to Yelan and Syaoran's four older sisters.
They all pinched, squeezed and kissed Sakura and Syaoran.
After awhile, they all went home where Sakura and Syaoran sat on the couch across from Yelan.
Sakura had her left hand on top of Syaoran's, where Yelan immediately noticed the ring.
"Oh, you guys!!" she exclaimed.
"The wedding's in about two weeks, and right afterwards we're going to America for our honeymoon and search for Sakura's mother."
"Mmm…" Yelan replied, still grinning from the good news.
"And Sakura's pregnant…seven weeks with my baby."
Yelan's smile turned into a frown.
A/N: OOOohhhh!! ANOTHER cliffhanger!!!!! Heehee…this one is up pretty fast, eh? But it's kinda short. Oh well….Anyways, read and review!! And make sure to specifically say if you want me to e-mail you when I update in your review, okie? (
