Tomoyo looked up.
She nearly gasped.
Well, actually, she did gasp.
It was him.
Her search had ended.
"Tomoyo! What are you doing here?" Eriol asked, surprised.
"Can we get a cup of coffee?" Tomoyo said weakly.
"Sure. Hop in," Eriol said, and they got into the Audi.
"So, tell me, what are you doing here?" Eriol asked as soon as they out of the community.
"I'll explain later," Tomoyo said softly.
She kept on glancing at Eriol every few seconds as though she wanted to make sure he was real; not an illusion.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Syaoran were still at the hotel, snuggling.
"Ya know, what should we name our baby?" Syaoran asked.
"How about.Grace?" Sakura suggested.
"Wait a minute.that's a girl's name! What if it's a boy?" Syaoran asked.
"Oh, I know it's a girl," she said, and asked, "Do you want more kids?"
"Like, how many?"
"Maybe about two more, I was thinking. I think a son and another daughter would do me fine," Sakura said.
"Okay. Whatever you want. As long as we're happy," Syaoran said, and kissed Sakura.
"Okay. *Yawn* What time is it?" Sakura asked.
"Around 4 pm. We spent the whole day in bed-doing nothing," Syaoran said.
"Oh. Well, tonight, let's go shopping, okay?" Sakura asked.
"Okay," Syaoran said, then mentally smacked himself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At the coffee shop, Starbucks, to be exact, Tomoyo and Eriol had seated themselves in the corner of the shop.
They had each ordered Frappicinos, and were waiting for their drinks to be called up.
"So, what are you doing here?" Eriol asked, smiling.
"I came here with Sakura and Syaoran," Tomoyo said.
"Really? Where are they?"
"In the Ritz Carlton in Newport Beach. They got married," Tomoyo informed him.
"And I wasn't invited to the wedding?" Eriol said, acting insulted.
"They didn't know where you were. Um.Sakura's pregnant with Syaoran's baby, so they got married," Tomoyo added.
"What? That's great! Tell them congratulations."
"Okay.and so Sakura's looking for her mother since she found out her mother wasn't dead after all. They came here for their honeymoon and to find her mother, and I came here since I have a fashion show in a week. And I mainly came to find you," Tomoyo said, her face dead serious.
"Why?" Eriol asked.
"Because.because." Tomoyo looked down.
"Because." Eriol prompted her.
"I love you," Tomoyo said.
Eriol raised his eyebrows.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura and Syaoran finally got out of bed to go out for dinner.
Syaoran wore khaki pants and an olive green t-shirt, while Sakura wore jean capris, an orange tanktop and a gray jacket tied around her waist.
"Let's go eat dinner at.Oscar's, okay? It's kinda far from here, but I hear it's pretty cheap and has really good American food," Sakura suggested.
"Okay. Let's go, my lady," Syaoran said, and extended an arm out to Sakura.
She took his arm, and they marched out the hotel.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tomoyo was waiting for Eriol to say something.
"I'm flattered. And I have to say something to you, too," Eriol finally said.
Tomoyo's face fell.
She had come all the way here.for a rejection??
"I've loved you since I saw you, too." Eriol replied.
Tomoyo's face brightened into a smile, and they kissed.
"Ah hem." a blushing waitress handed them their drinks.
"Let's go back to my house," Eriol said evilly, and they got their drinks to-go.
After they got to the house, let's just say that Tomoyo lost something.and it starts with a v.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, at the dinner place.
"Mmm! This is so good!" Sakura said, stuffing her face with pasta, pizza, chicken and breadsticks.
Syaoran raised his eyebrows.
Some people around them were staring at Sakura, never seeing a girl eat so much.
"Do you want me to order some more chicken?" Syaoran asked.
"Sure! Are you going to be eating that breadstick?" Sakura asked, her mouth full, and her finger pointing at a breadstick lying lonely on Syaoran's plate.
"You can have it," Syaoran said, and got up to order more chicken.for the second time.
At the ordering place, he asked for 8 pieces of BBQ chicken, and as he spoke he got out 10 bucks.
"Oh, don't worry, your meal's complimentary. We've never seen someone enjoy our food so much!" the waitress said.
"Okay." Syaoran said, and went back to his seat.
30 minutes and a dozen breadsticks later, Sakura was finished eating.
"What are we having for dessert?" she asked innocently.
Syaoran anime fainted, with a big sweatdrop on his forehead.
"You still have room for dessert?" he asked.
"Hey, I'm pregnant. I'm going to get a LOT worse in a couple of months.so be grateful you even ate anything," Sakura said, smiling sweetly.well, not so sweetly.
Syaoran smiled nervously back, thinking 'Oh dang.'
Anyways, they got up and left a tip and left, and caught a taxi over to a close by mall.
As soon as they got out, Sakura zoomed towards the usual stores, Forever 21, 5-7-9, and those other clothing shops for her.
Syaoran was waiting outside when Sakura slowly came out.
"I shouldn't be shopping here-I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed.
"What do you want to do, go shopping at Motherhood Maternity?" Syaoran joked.
"Okay. If that's what you want," Sakura said, and they left for the store.
Inside were clothes for middle-aged pregnant women.
"Oh my god, they're.so BIG! And I gonna get that huge?" Sakura asked, looking at a mannequin with a stomach the size of three basketballs.
"Hi, how may I help you?" a clerk asked them.
Syaoran blushed, and Sakura embarrassedly told her that they would just look around.
"That's fine. If you have any questions, I'll be right over there," the clerk said, and left.
"Let's leave," Sakura whispered, and she dragged Syaoran out of the shop.
After much walking and no buying, it was almost time for the mall to close, so Syaoran bought Sakura and himself a caramel dipped peanut covered green apple to eat on the way home.
When they got back at the hotel, Sakura plopped down onto the bed.
"I'm never going back to the mall.it was so embarrassing!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, don't worry. I won't make you go back," Syaoran said, turning red at the memory of going into the stores.
"Good night."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Next morning, a knock came on the door, waking Sakura and Syaoran up.
"Mmm.who could it be?" Sakura wondered aloud.
Syaoran got up and opened the door.
"A message for you from Mrs. Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hirigawaza," the butler looking guy said.
"Thanks," Syaoran said and got the piece of paper.
In Tomoyo's handwriting, it said, "Meet up by 11 downstairs in the lobby at the coffee shop. We have big news to tell you. Signed, Eriol and Tomoyo."
After Syaoran read it aloud, Sakura's eyes turned round.
"Eriol? Why is he with Tomoyo?? I thought he was somewhere still in England!" Sakura exclaimed.
Syaoran shrugged, and said, "But I wonder how Tomoyo found him. Wait a minute, do you think the 'private business' Tomoyo had to do was finding him? Maybe they hooked up or something," Syaoran suggested.
"Maybe.but I think-wait a minute, what time is it?" Sakura asked, alarmed.
"It's 10:50-oh crap! We need to be down there in ten minutes!!" Syaoran exclaimed.
For the next five minutes, Sakura and Syaoran were running around, brushing their teeth, doing their makeup (well, Sakura was) and changing.
"Hey! Five minutes, not bad!" Sakura said, panting as she looked at her watch.
"Let's go," Syaoran said and they left for downstairs.
"Hey! There they are!" Sakura pointed as soon as she saw them.
"Tomoyo!! Eriol!!" Sakura shouted.
A couple of people gave them weird looks as Sakura blushed.
Sakura hugged Eriol, telling him, "It's SOOOOOOO nice to see you again!!!!"
And of course, she hugged Tomoyo while Eriol and Syaoran slapped hands, saying, "What up, dawg?"
The four of them went into the coffee shop, and while sipping on some hot coffee (hot chocolate for Sakura-she didn't want to take any risks with caffeine), Tomoyo and Eriol told them what happened.
And, Tomoyo lazily stretched out her right hand, and on it was a sparkling diamond ring.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!" Sakura squealed.
"You proposed? Good job!" Syaoran congratulated Eriol.
While Tomoyo and Sakura excitedly hugged again, Tomoyo whispered, "sfmsfm*muffled*askdf".
Sakura's eyes widened, and she whispered back, "You used protection, right?"
Tomoyo grinned and nodded.
They both giggled, both VERY hyper.
"So, when's the wedding?" Syaoran asked.
"We're not so sure yet. But anyways, Eriol's going to come with me to my fashion show tomorrow. You guys have a flight for D.C.tonight, and then you have to make up your own schedule. We'll keep in contact with you, okay? Bye!" Tomoyo said, as she and Eriol got up to leave.
"Okay. Bye!" Sakura replied.
She leaned against Syaoran and said, "Isn't it great? Our two best friends getting married together?"
"Yeah. Wait, whoever said Eriol is my bestfriend??" Syaoran exclaimed hotly.
"Hehe. So Yamazaki is?" Sakura said teasingly.
Syaoran laughed.
"Let's go. So we have a flight to D.C. tonight? Pretty quick," Syaoran said.
"Yeah. Not much of a honeymoon, doncha think?" Sakura said softly.
"Hmm.no. At least I get to spend time with you," he said, and gently kissed her.
"I love you."
A/N: These chapters have been pretty uneventful.but don't worry, the quest (like my word?? Hehe) for Sakura's mother will begin in the next chapter, of wild goose chases, dark secrets and lots of taxi rides. BWAHAHA!!! (I'm hyper. Couldn't you tell??) REVIEW!!!
