A/N: Sorry it took me so long to upload! I try not to do that because I know how mad I get when other people don't update. But here I am, so you can't get angry anymore! But you can review. Oh, and guess what! Me and my friend are going to do another Fruits Basket fic and it's going to be the best. Because it's about us! Sort of. You'll have to read it when it comes out. And if you ever look at my bio, you'll KNOW when it comes out because that'll be all I can talk about. Like right now. Okay, so anyway. Here goes.

Rika gave Shigure a pat on the back. He had tears streaming down his face. "I'll never see you again!" he cried.

"I know! For like, a whole four hours!"

The two high fived each other and giggled. Yuki rolled his eyes, but decided he could put up with it because it was Rika after all.

She then went and gave Yuki a handshake. Yuki's hand came away with a packet of leek seeds. Just in case. He grinned and realized how much he was going to miss her not living there.

Rika punched Kyo on the shoulder and gave him a book on judo. "You've gotten much better since the last time I saw you Kyo. Pretty soon me and Kazuma had better learn to watch out." Kyo smiled and then Rika smiled back. She turned to Tohru.

Rika pulled back from her hug from Tohru. She realized that Tohru had tears in her eyes. How sweet! When she felt a little wetness falling down her own cheek, she realized that she too was crying. She wondered if she should tell Tohru. Oh, what the hell.

"I can't believe we're sisters!" Tohru said before Rika could open her mouth to tell her another big secret. "I've always wanted an older sibling! I mean, Uo and Hana are like sisters to me, but you know. This is just so great! I'm so excited! And now we can tell each other all our secrets like all those other super close sisters. Oh, I'm sorry." She blushed. "I'm getting a little carried away with myself."

Rika laughed. "Hardly. I hope we can tell each other everything. Which brings something to mind. You know the party tonight?" Tohru nodded. "Well, it's not exactly a house-warming party. Hatori and I…well…me and Hatori…I'm pregnant."

"What! No way! That's so great! An older sister and a nephew or niece in the same day! Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?"

Rika shook her head. She was still smiling. She didn't think she had smiled this much since the last time she had visited Shigure's house. But this was not the time nor the place to be reminiscing about that. "No, I don't know. I wish I did. My curiosity is driving me insane. The OB/GYN said I'd know by my sixth month. That means three whole months until I finally know! Oh, it's really bugging me. But that's what the party's about. We're going to tell the rest of the Jyuunishi."

"Oh, how exciting!"

Rika whispered in Tohru's ear, "Stop by anytime and we'll chat." As she was pulling away from her little sister's embrace, she heard a horn honking. She turned to see Hatori pulling into the driveway at breakneck speed. He didn't do it so much anymore, but Hatori was a notorious speeder. He never once got caught by a policeman and he never got in an accident, but he did love pushing the limits.

She watched as Hatori's tall form pulled itself out of the car. "C'mon Rika. Let's go. I'll get your suitcase for you."

"Oh, such a gentleman." Rika batted her eyelashes and Shigure giggled. As he watched Hatori open Rika's door, he saw the look in Hatori's eyes. He knew that moving in together wasn't the only big thing the two would be doing. He distinctly heard wedding bells. When he had told Ayame his suspicions that morning, he had fervently agreed. He even started making plans for a wedding dress for a person who – and don't tell anyone I told you this – seemed to be putting on a little weight.

"Goodbye everyone!" The four waved goodbye to the girl from the porch, then headed inside.

Hatori eased slowly into the driveway. He then opened her door for her and grabbed her suitcase again.

"You know, I'm perfectly capable of getting my own suitcase," she said.

He just smiled at her and kissed her cheek. The two went inside.

Rika sat down on the couch and Hatori sat beside her and turned on the TV. The station was on an incredibly boring documentary. Rika blessed whoever had called when she heard the phone ring. "I'll get it!"

"Hello?"
"Hello, Rika."

"Oh, hey Ayame."

"Listen, Shii and I were wondering if you wanted us to help you decorate for your party tonight. He's practically dying to see you again."

"I only left five minutes ago."

"Yes, well, call it withdrawal. Anyway, we'll be over in a few!"

"Bye."

Click.

Rika went into the living room and sat down again.

"Who was it?" Hatori asked.

"Ayame. He and Shigure are coming over in a couple minutes. Oh! I'm so sorry! I forgot to ask if he could!"

Hatori sighed. "Don't worry. I should have known having you coming here would have meant having my house full all the time." She smiled apologetically. His only reply was to grab her hand and turn back to the TV screen.
