"I…uh…"
"Yes?"
She looked nervously at the people around them as if second thoughts about telling him. Plucking up her courage, she decided to say it.
"I…I am pregnant…"
About seven weeks ago…
It is a busy day at the offices of B & B advertising company. The people, much like the worker ants of an ant colony, work feverishly to complete their reports on time. We zoom in onto one particular person, Li Syaoran, one of the most talented director/producer of the company. We see Syaoran drawing away for his current advertising project. Unexpectedly, a head appears over his desk. It is his best friend and colleague, Takashi Yamasaki.
"Yo, Li! How's life?" Takashi asked enthusiastically. Syaoran looked up at his good friend before shaking his head sadly.
"Absolutely great…it's all work, work…"
"And meeting the babes of course!" Takashi added. Hearing this, Syaoran smiled.
"What do you expect? Its all part of the job…you know meeting beautiful models…" Syaoran as he smiled evilly.
"Ah…still the playboy I see…" Takashi said as he nudged Syaoran in the ribs, "anyway…our high school reunion's this weekend, you going?"
Syaoran eyed him with suspicion before saying, "And why are you so eager on me going to this reunion?"
"Aww…come on! I am helping you. Meeting beautiful babes in the sunny beach resort…"
Syaoran suddenly became interested. "Did I hear the word 'babes'?"
"Oh yes you did!" Takashi said as he smiled triumphantly, "So, you coming or not?"
Syaoran smiled at Takashi. "Of course I am coming! The babes can't live without Li Syaoran!"
Two days later…
Syaoran and Takashi arrive at the beach. It is all sun, sand, sea and have course, the babes. "Alright! It's time to relax, chill out and hang with the babes!" Syaoran announced happily as he picked up his backpack from the luggage compartment.
"Takashi! Syaoran!"
Both Syaoran and Takashi turn to the direction of the voice. It is Chiharu Mihara, saleswoman at the clothing section of Kawasaki Shopping Centre. Chiharu and Takashi are very good friends who have liked each other since high school. However, Takashi is reluctant to admit his feelings toward her.
"Chiharu! Its great to see you here!" Takashi said happily.
"Come on you guys! I'll show you where the rest of the guys are!" Chiharu said, leading them to the barbecue pits where the rest of their high school classmates were.
'Tonight, Takashi will be mine…' Chiharu thought evilly.
At the Barbecue pits…
Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidouji and Eriol Hirigizawa were at one corner of the party, observed the new arrivals with interest.
"Look, Sakura, its Syaoran!" Tomoyo said enthusiastically.
Sakura, surprised, turned to her.
"Really? Where?" Sakura asked excitedly. Tomoyo smiled and pointed to Syaoran, who has just arrived, was talking to a few of his old friends.
"*Sigh* Maybe I shouldn't disturb him now…" Sakura said downcast.
"Why not? You've always liked him since we were kids…" Eriol suddenly said, not wanting to be left out of the conversation.
Sakura blushed on hearing this. "Well…wh…what makes you think that I still have feelings for him?" she said quickly.
"Well…" Tomoyo started, grinning, "Considering you still have a scrap book filled with his photos and you still constantly dream about him…calling out his name dreamily…"
"Fine…maybe I…still do have feelings for him…" she finally admitted hesitantly.
"That's good, which is why you should make your move…" Tomoyo suggested.
"My move?" Sakura asked curiously, not knowing what her best friend meant.
"You know…get together and…" Tomoyo said smiling evilly.
"What! You mean you want me to get him in bed!?"
"No, no. What I meant was get him to fall deeply in love with you…just like me and Eriol…" Tomoyo said dreamily, leaning her head onto Eriol's shoulders while he hugs Tomoyo close to him.
Sakura, sighing, turned away, not wanting to indulge in a mushy love scene. Then suddenly, Tomoyo separated herself from Eriol's embrace and dragged Sakura towards Syaoran as she left Eriol standing there, looking sadly at his shoulder that she previously occupied.
"Tomoyo chan! What are you doing?" Sakura said, surprised.
"Trust me, Sakura! Tonight will change your life forever!" Little did Tomoyo and Sakura know how true those words would be.
Soon, they reached the barbecue pit where Syaoran was.
"Hello, You're Syaoran, aren't you?" Tomoyo asked.
"That's right! And you are…"
"Oh, I am Tomoyo and this is…"
"Wait let me guess…your name is…Nadesico, right?" Syaoran said cheekily.
"No, its…"
"Then, its Naru…no…then its gotta be Yukino, right?"
"No! My name is Sakura…" Sakura said, exasperated.
"Well…that's a good name…anyway nice to meet you two ladies but I've got other business to attend to…" Syaoran said, moving towards a group of bikini babes he spotted earlier.
Sakura frowned as Syaoran walked away. "Sometimes, I wonder why I like him…all he does is look at other beautiful women…" Sakura said to Tomoyo.
"Well, is it because of his great looks, beautiful smile or wonderful personality?" Tomoyo asked helpfully.
Sakura blushed as she heard this. "Well actually all of it…"
"Then that's great, you still have day to make him fall madly in love you…it is only two in the afternoon…" Tomoyo said encouragingly.
"You're right! I shouldn't give up!" Sakura said cheerfully. "I'll make him fall madly in love with me…"
Then out of nowhere, they bumped into a very happy Chiharu and they exchanged greetings.
"Why, Chiharu! You seem very happy today…" Tomoyo said, curious at why Chiharu was very cheerful.
"Of course I am very happy…because tonight…" Chiharu said, smiling evilly, "Tonight, Takashi Yamasaki's heart will be mine…"
Then, Tomoyo also smiled evilly as she planned for tonight while Sakura sweatdropped.
That night, as most of the guest of the beach resort settled down for the night, Li Syaoran was about to enter the room that he and Eriol shared when he heard strange noises coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door and peeked into the room. To his shock, he found men and women's clothes strewn all over the floor and moaning noises coming from the bed.
"Do I really have to do this?"
"Yes of course…uh lower…ah that's it…it feels so good…"
'Its Eriol and…his girlfriend Tomoyo…*sigh*…does he really have to do it in our room…' he thought as he closed the door loudly.
Tomoyo and then Eriol looked up, both still with their clothes on.
"Strange…did you hear something Eriol?" Tomoyo asked curiously.
"No, why?"
"I thought I heard someone at the door…never mind…just continue with the massage …yeah…boy, it feels good…"
Meanwhile, Takashi Yamasaki was having a drink at the resort bar when a very seductive Chiharu Mihara, approached him.
"Takashi-kun…"
Takashi looked up and nearly dropped the glass he is holding. Chiharu was wearing a tight red blouse with a black mini skirt. While his mind was trying to process a response, Chiharu sat herself on the chair next to Takashi. Chiharu tried her best to look seductive as she stared deep into Takashi's eyes.
"You see…um…" Chiharu started, "Me and Tomoyo had an argument and she chased me out of the room and…well…I have nowhere else to go, so may I sleep in your room tonight?"
"Well…um…I…" Takashi tried to say something but her request stunned him.
As Li Syaoran walked along the resort's boat jetty, he spotted Sakura sitting by the jetty alone, with her feet in the water. He approached her quietly and surprised her by covering her eyes with his hands.
"Guess who?"
"Hey, I know its you…um…Tomoyo?" Sakura said, not knowing who was behind her.
"No, no. It's Li Syaoran…"
Sakura turned around and was surprised to find Syaoran really behind her. She blushed slightly and turned her gaze back onto the water and shyly asked, "So…um…why are you here, Syaoran…"
"Well…my room is kind of occupied so I decided to go for a nice walk by the jetty…" Syaoran said hesitantly as he sat down next to her, "Then, why are you here, Yukino?"
"Well…I couldn't find Tomoyo so I decided to wander around by myself…and my name is Sakura!" Sakura answered angrily.
"Oops! Sorry about that…" Syaoran said apologetically.
As they continued to stare into the water, Sakura's gaze slowly turned towards the full moon in the sky.
"You know…the moon is very beautiful tonight…" Sakura said, admiring the peaceful beauty of the full moon.
"…But it isn't as beautiful as your eyes…" Syaoran added cheekily. However, Sakura brushed his compliment off.
"As if you don't say it to every other women you meet…"
"No. Seriously…your eyes are very beautiful…you are very beautiful…" Syaoran said seriously, as he gazed at Sakura. On hearing this, Sakura blushed heavily and quickly stood up, as did Syaoran.
"Well…I got to go now…it's getting late…" Sakura said. However, as she said those words, she lost her footing on the jetty and was about to fall into the water when Syaoran gripped her shoulders tightly and held her close to him, preventing her from falling. Sakura, who had never been this close to Syaoran before, blushed even more.
"Thanks…for um saving…" Sakura started saying but lost herself in Syaoran's deep eyes as their lips locked together in a passionate kiss.
That night, they did things that kids should not do…(Author: Oh…you know…that thing…and I am not talking about drugs…)
Three weeks later, apartment that Sakura, Tomoyo and Chiharu shares…
"You know…I am very worried that…"
"That you maybe what, Tomoyo?" Chiharu said.
"You know…um…pregnancy?" Tomoyo answered sheepishly as Chiharu continued reading her book.
"Now, Tomoyo…why would you be preg…oh my gosh! You mean you and Eriol…" Sakura said, shocked at what Tomoyo has revealed. Tomoyo started pacing around the room as she continued to lament on her current situation. Then, Chiharu finally said, "Are you really pregnant?"
Tomoyo scratched her head and said, embarrassed, "Well, I haven't really tested for it…"
"Then just go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test…" Chiharu said exasperatedly.
"That's a great idea, come on Sakura!" Tomoyo said cheerfully before grabbing her purse and walking to the door.
"Eh! Why must I go?" Sakura complained loudly.
"To give me moral support, of course!"
Later, when the pair got home, the three of them stared intently at the pregnancy test, which Tomoyo had just used. After a while, a single blue line came out.
"Its…negative! Yeah…" Tomoyo said as Chiharu cheered along with her. Sakura, however, was staring at the other unused pregnancy test in the packaging.
The next day, at the Angel Women's Clinic in Tomeda…
"Congratulations!"
Sakura just stared in shock at the gynecologist, Doctor Takuya.
"What do you mean 'Congratulations'? " Sakura said to the doctor, secretly hoping that she was not pregnant.
"You're six weeks pregnant, Miss Kinomoto, of course I got to congratulate you!" the doctor said cheerfully, passing the baby's ultrasound picture to Sakura, unaware that she was not expecting this.
"Actually, I am not…"
"Don't worry about anything! I am sure…"
"No. You don't understand…I only did…it…one time…" Sakura said embarrassingly. Doctor Takuya stared at her in surprise. "Wow…young people these days…you're a very lucky woman, Miss Kinomoto…you've got to inform the father…"
"No! Absolutely not! I can't let my father know about this…" Sakura said, fearing her father's reaction to her pregnancy.
Doctor Takuya just laughed. "I meant the father of the child…ok, here's your pregnancy guide book and your appointment card. Your next appointment is in two weeks. See you then!" the doctor said as he left the consultation room to attend to another patient, leaving Sakura staring in surprise.
That night, back in the apartment, Sakura had stayed in her room, eating her udon and contemplating what she should do. Then, Tomoyo suddenly rushes into the room.
"Sakura, what are you…" Tomoyo started but stops when she sees the pregnancy guidebook and the ultrasound picture in Sakura's hands. Sakura just stared at her in surprise and dropped her chopsticks.
"You're pregnant!?" both Tomoyo and Chiharu said as they stare in shock. Chiharu was the first to recover.
"So, who's the father?" Chiharu asked eagerly.
"Well, its Syaoran…" Sakura answered reluctantly.
Tomoyo suddenly laughed evilly on hearing this. "Don't you get it Sakura…this is your big chance to get Syaoran to commit to you…"
"But…"
"No buts, Sakura! Either way, you have got to tell him, one way or the other…" Chiharu said when suddenly someone rang the door. Tomoyo got up, answered the door, and was surprised to find Takashi there.
"Um…I heard from Eriol that you guys live together and I came to see Chiharu…" he started but stopped when he saw the three roommates staring at him and smiling evilly.
"Uh oh…"
Next day at B&B advertising…
Syaoran was busy working away when suddenly Takashi interrupted his line of thought by tapping him on the shoulder.
"What now…this is not the time Tak…" Syaoran said, waving him away.
"Look this is serious…ok…can we go outside and talk?" Takashi said seriously.
Syaoran sighed. "Fine…let's make it quick…"
Syaoran got up from his chair and walked towards the office hallway, followed closely behind by a nervous Takashi. When they finally reached a more quite place, Syaoran turned to Takashi. "So, what do you have to tell me?"
Takashi looked at Syaoran and sighed. "You know during the reunion barbecue…"
"Yeah…"
"Well…um…it concerns…Sakura…she's kinda…"
"Look, I don't have much time on my hands, I got to get back to work…" Syaoran said, annoyed at Takashi's reluctance to tell him of the news.
"Ok…just talk to Sakura…alright?" Takashi said finally, still not having the heart to break the news to him.
"Fine…I'll find her during lunch hour…" Syaoran said tiredly as he went back to his office to continue his work.
Takashi just stared at Syaoran sadly. Just as he was about to enter the office, his cell phone rang. "Hello? Yamasaki here…"
"Why didn't you tell him about Sakura…" an ominous voice boomed from the phone.
"Don't worry I already told him…" Takashi said, lying.
"Oh really…" the same voice said, now coming from directly above him.
Takashi looks up to see a frowning Chiharu on the upper floor as he laughs nervously.
At Kawasaki Shopping Center…
Sakura and Chiharu were busily arranging clothes at the women's clothing section when Chiharu noticed someone familiar standing a few meters away from them.
"Sakura…" Chiharu whispered while elbowing her.
"Yes, Chiharu…" Sakura said but she stopped as she saw Chiharu pointing at Syaoran.
A few moments later, Sakura, dressed in normal clothes, come out to meet Syaoran.
"Oh…um…hello…I didn't expect to find you here." Sakura said shyly as they started walking towards the nearby park.
"Well…Takashi told me that you have something to tell me…"
"You mean Takashi didn't tell you?" Sakura said, surprised.
"No…he didn't tell me any thing…so what is it you have to tell me?" Syaoran asked in a come-on-you-can-tell-me-anything sort of way.
Sakura thought about the situation for a while before answering. "Well…what do you think of me as a person?"
"Well…you're a nice person, though a little bit naïve…not exactly very beautiful but still very cute…" Syaoran answered after thinking for a while.
Sakura blushed a little after hearing what he said but soon recovered. "So…are you serious about what happened at the resort…"
"Of course I was serious…"
"You're treating it like a one night stand, are you?" Sakura said with a frown on her face.
"Look…I was serious then, I am serious now…I like you…" Syaoran said with a smile on his face. On hearing this, she smiled to herself and decided to tell him.
"I…uh…"
"Yes?"
Sakura looked nervously at the people around them as if having second thoughts about telling Syaoran about it. Plucking up her courage, she decided to say it.
"I…I am pregnant…"
In the next chapter: Sakura's pregnant! How will Syaoran react? And the first appearance of Sakura's father…how will they break the news to him? Stay tuned to the next chapter of Shotgun Marriage…
So, what do you think? Please R & R!
PS: I will not post or write any story probably as I will need to start studying for my Mid-year exams which will finish around the 14th or 15th of May. However, I will still find time to read and review stories.

Sakura thought about the situation for a while before answering. "Well…what do you think of me as a person?"
"Well…you're a nice person, though a little bit naïve…not exactly very beautiful but still very cute…" Syaoran answered after thinking for a while.
Sakura blushed a little after hearing what he said but soon recovered. "So…are you serious about what happened at the resort…"
"Of course I was serious…"
"You're treating it like a one night stand, are you?" Sakura said with a frown on her face.
"Look…I was serious then, I am serious now…I like you…" Syaoran said with a smile on his face. On hearing this, she smiled to herself and decided to tell him.
"I…uh…"
"Yes?"
Sakura looked nervously at the people around them as if having second thoughts about telling Syaoran about it. Plucking up her courage, she decided to say it.
"I…I am pregnant…"
In the next chapter: Sakura's pregnant! How will Syaoran react? And the first appearance of Sakura's father…how will they break the news to him? Stay tuned to the next chapter of Shotgun Marriage…
So, what do you think? Please R & R!
PS: I will not post or write any story probably as I will need to start studying for my Mid-year exams which will finish around the 14th or 15th of May. However, I will still find time to read and review stories.
