"Ryan!" said Omi as he charged forward; thrashing his arms, "How have you been? I haven't seen you for ages!"

"Good to see you too, buddy!" said Ryan as he looked down at Omi shook his hand.

"Hold on?" said Raimundo "I thought you stayed at the temple?"

"I did" said Ryan as he looked up, "Because me and Omi don't have any family that we can live with, we both stayed at the temple, but…"

He smiled as he looked at Kimiko and put her arm around her, who rested her head on his shoulder.

"After two months we were missing each other badly" said Kimiko "We didn't see each other very often…"

"So I packed my bags" said Ryan as he adjusted his sash around his waist, "And went to Tokyo to live with Kimiko"

"And we have lived together ever since…" sighed Kimiko as she looked up at Ryan and kissed him on the cheek.

"Aww…" said Raimundo, Omi and Clay together, making Kimiko and Ryan blush.

"Anyway, let's go to the kitchen" said Clay "I'm starving!"

"You guys go on ahead" said Ryan as he let Kimiko go from his arms, "I've just got to talk to Grand Master Fung"

Once the monks had walked into the kitchen Ryan and Grand Master Fung moved into a corner where they were out of earshot of the others.

"Is everything ready, Ryan?" said Grand Master Fung.

"Yes, I've just got off the phone from Toshero" said Ryan "Everything's done on his end, did you get what I wanted?"

Grand Master Fung smiled as he reached into his robes and pulled out a small black box.

"Ah! Perfect!" said Ryan as he peeked inside the box. He put the box in his pocket and looked towards the kitchen, sighing deeply.

"Nervous?" asked Grand Master Fung.

"Hell yeah…" sighed Ryan as he took a deep breath, "Well…Let's do it…"

Ryan and Grand Master Fung entered the kitchen, where the others were already seated. Ryan sat down next to Kimiko and Grand Master Fung sat at the head of the table. Kimiko turned to Ryan, who was looking around the room; he had a slightly nervous look on his face and he was breathing heavily.

"Ryan?" said Kimiko "You okay?"

"I'm…I'm fine!" stuttered Ryan as he tried to avoid eye contact with everyone. Kimiko was about to reply, when Grand Master Fung stood up to make an announcement.

"Xiaolin Dragons, I welcome you back to the temple" said Grand Master Fung "Let us celebrate this joyous occasion with a toast"

They all raised their glasses.

"To peace, which the Dragons had worked so hard to achieve" said Grand Master Fung "May it last forever!"

"Hear, hear!" said Clay as they clinked their drinks together.

"However…" said Grand Master Fung "This is a double celebration"

"Is it?" said Omi "What else is it that we are celebrating?"

Grand Master Fung smiled as he looked at Ryan, "Let's let Ryan tell us"

"Ryan?" said Kimiko as he turned to Ryan, "What is it?"

"Okay Ryan…This is it…" said a voice in Ryan's head, "If you don't do it now, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Ryan took a deep breath and looked up at her.

"Kimiko…" said Ryan "I have known you for a long time and recently…I've been doing some thinking…"

Kimiko stared at him, speechless.

"In the last few months" said Ryan "I've been making the biggest decision that I have ever made in my life"

"Ryan?" said Kimiko nervously as Ryan got up from his chair, "What are you doing?"

"Kimiko…I love you more than anything else in the world" said Ryan as he stood near Kimiko, "So that's why I'm going to do this…"

"Do…what?" stuttered Kimiko as she moved her chair back and turned her body to face Ryan. Ryan said nothing as took a deep breath and knelt down on one knee. There was a sudden gasp from everyone else from the table, except Grand Master Fung.

"OH…MY…GOD!" gasped Kimiko as she put her hand on her chest, trying to control her deep breathing. Clay and Raimundo where staring at Ryan, their jaws were hanging from their faces. Omi on the other hand, just looked at Ryan with a clueless look.

"Ryan?" said Omi "Why have you knelt down on one knee?"

Ryan said nothing as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the tiny black box.

"Kimiko Tohomiko…" said Ryan as he opened the box revealing a beautifully carved copy of the Ring of the Nine Dragons, "Will you marry me?"

Kimiko stared at Ryan, she tried to talk but all the air had escaped from her mouth and she felt like her brain's blood supply had just been cut off. She had to hold onto the table to stop her from falling over. Ryan looked up at her; his heart was beating at critical speeds.

"Come on Kimiko…" thought Ryan "Say something!"

"Come on Kimiko…" said a voice in Kimiko's head, "Say something!"

Kimiko mumbled something inaudible under her breath.

"Kimiko?" said Ryan. She looked down at Ryan, and a huge rush of energy shot through her body.

"Yes…" she murmured as she smiled down at him, "Yes! I will!"

Ryan smiled as he stood up; he held her hand and slid the ring onto her finger.

"Has he done it?" yelled a voice from outside, "Can we come in?"

"Yes, he has! Come in!" called Grand Master Fung. Toshero suddenly burst into the room with Dojo on his shoulders. He was followed by Kimiko's mother and Kelko.

"What are you guys doing here?" gasped Kimiko.

"Well?" said Kelko as she ran right up to Kimiko, ignoring her last comment.

"Everyone" said Ryan as he put his hand around Kimiko, "Say hello to Mrs. Kimiko Young"

"We're engaged!" squealed Kimiko. The cheer that followed shook the temple; Kelko and Kimiko were hugging each other, squealing with joy. Mrs Tohomiko had collapsed in a chair and broke out into tears of happiness. Toshero, Raimundo and Clay had dived towards Ryan and began shaking his hands and patting his back.

"Oh my god!" cried Kimiko "I can't believe this! I'm getting married!"

"You're so lucky!" said Kelko as she patter her on the back, "He's a once in a life time catch!"

She looked towards Ryan, who smiled back at her. She moved towards him and put her arms around him and kissed him.

"I love you" said Ryan as they broke away from the kiss.

"Me too" sighed Kimiko. She was about to kiss him again, when her phone began to ring.

"Excuse me…" she said as she moved away from Ryan and went outside, leaving him to receive more praise from his new mother and father-in-law.

"Hello?" said Kimiko.

"Hello? Is this Miss Kimiko Tohomiko?" said the voice on the other end of the line.

"Yes it is"

"We have your test result…"

Kimiko suddenly remembered, for the past few weeks, she had been feeling rather ill, throwing up on and off for the last few weeks. Her mother insisted that she went to the doctors to have a check up.

"Really?" said Kimiko "How did they come out?"

"The tests are positive"

Kimiko jaw dropped.

"P…P…Positive?" stuttered Kimiko.

"Yes"

Kimiko gasped, nearly dropping the phone.

"T…Thank you for telling me…" she stuttered as she fumbled with the phone.

"You're welcome, good bye!"

Kimiko ended the call and put the phone in her pocket. Her legs suddenly turned to jelly, making her fall against the wall.

"Positive…" sighed Kimiko "What will Ryan say…"

"I don't know" said a voice behind her, "What would I say?"

Kimiko gasped as she turned around and saw Ryan standing behind her. She began to breathe heavily as she moved into Ryan's arms.

"Kimiko?" said Ryan as he looked down at her with a confused and concerned look, "What's up?"

Kimiko looked up at Ryan; her eyes were filled with worry.

"Ryan…" said Kimiko "You will love me no matter what, right?"

"If I didn't…" said Ryan "I wouldn't have proposed to you"

Kimiko smiled as she lent her head on his chest.

"Anyway" sighed Ryan as he smiled back, "There is nothing you can say that is bigger than me proposing to you!"

"Ryan…" said Kimiko "Remember a few weeks ago, we…did it?"

"Err…" thought Ryan as he tried to remember what "It" was, "Yeah, I think so…"

"Ryan" said Kimiko as she looked him straight in the eye, "I'm pregnant…"

Ryan's smile vanished in an instant; Kimiko had never seen him so surprised since he found out that Chase was his father.

"Okay…" said Ryan "Look's like that beats my proposal…"

"How do you feel?" said Kimiko. Ryan smiled as he looked at her.

"How do you think I feel?" said Ryan "Not only are you going to be a wife, you're going to be a mother too…"

Kimiko smiled back as she snuggled into Ryan's arms again.

"Thanks for being there for me…" she sighed.

"Hey…" said Ryan as he kissed her, "That's what I'm here for"

They stood there together in each others arms, listening to the others talking to each other in the kitchen.

R&R everyone! If I'm lucky, I should be able to update tomorrow, if not Sunday, Monday at the latest, see ya!
