SO HERE'S WHAT I CAME UP WITH.

Today is the day. The day that the Sakura's and the Hyuuga's are suppose to reunite.
Location is on a five star hotel, specifically the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel, Los Angeles, California. Well, it's a famous place for celebrations and can occupy up to three hundred forty two guest rooms. The grandfather of Natsume, Mr. Nobukazu Hyuuga, chose the place because of its serenity. He's a happy-go-lucky man and he's favorite grandson is Natsume. He'd met Mikan many times before and he truly loves her since the day they've met.
The Hyuuga's clan is a small circle of family. Mr. Nobukazu married a kind hearted, gorgeous woman who loves him very much. But unfortunately, the lovely girl died because of the disease that cannot be cured. However, before the woman died, she leaves one good looking boy and one beautiful girl to his husband. The boy was named Kenji and the girl, Kaede. Kaede married a doctor by the name of Simon. She has two sons to protect and take care of. Kenji, Natsume's father is very kind man. His wife died because of a car accident so Natsume doesn't get to see her because he's only very little that time. Aoi, his sister is still a teenager at the time being. The Hyuuga's are all good looking and well respected family. They're cold at first but when you get to know them you will enjoy their company.
As for Mikan's family there's no one left to attend the said gathering. Her Ji chan died and she doesn't have a clue where her parents are. So, she's the only one representing the Sakura's.
Mikan's POV
"Grandpa!!!" I said as I ran to him.
"Oh! Here's my child!!!" Mr. Nobukazu said as he embraced me.
"How have you been Grandpa?" Natsume strolled to us as he greeted him with a hug.
"Natsume!!! I missed you! I'm fine, fine, fine." He sings. He always does that every time he's in a jolly mood.
"You're as energetic as a ten years old child grandpa! I really miss you!" I said as I hug him tighter this time.
"Awww! You're sweet as ever my dear Mikan. I missed you too." He hugged back and patted my back.
"Where's the others Grandpa?" Natsume suddenly asked.
"We're here Natume!!!" And then Aoi, Auntie Kaede and Uncle Simon appeared.
"Oh my God!!! I miss all of you!!!" I screamed as I ran to them and greet them with my big, powerful squeeze.
"Onee-chan!!! Onii-chan!!!" Aoi squeaked delightfully to us.
"Mikan! You're as beautiful as ever huh? Nothing's change!!!" My auntie Kaede said as she kissed me on the cheek.
"You too Auntie! You're still gorgeous as ever!" I answered back at her.
"Of course Mikan! No one's ugly on the Hyuuga's." She grinned widely.
"Uncle Simon! I miss you too!" I beamed as I turned to him.
"Oh… We just met the other day Mikan. Hahaha." He gently holds my hand and kissed it.
"You damn old hag! I said not to touch her!" Natsume said while holding me close to him.
"Yah! What the hell was that for?!" Auntie Kaede smacked him in the head.
"It's a form of respect! Idiots!!!" he replied.
"Oh!!! Come on, I'm gonna show you what respect truly is!!! Everyone, please excuse us I'm going to teach a lesson to my dear husband!!!" She dragged him from the room. We sweat drop from the scene.
"Don't mind them. They're always like that." Aoi smiled as she watches the two.
"Hahaha… Let's just go to the living room and catch up." Grandpa said as he leads on the way.
"So, how's life you two?" Grandpa started. And there's the long talk…
The talk with Grandpa has just ended. I came out from the living room to catch up some fresh air. It's already five in the afternoon. I wonder what Hotaru is doing… Hm. Inventing something perhaps. Or maybe she's on a date with Ruka.
Haha… I never thought it would end up like this, with me and Natsume and with Ruka and Hotaru. Fate is a little playful. I hope we'll always stay like this.
"Onee-chan!!!" I turned around and saw Aoi.
"Oh. It's you Aoi."
"What are you thinking?" she asked.
"Nothing…I'm just here to relax."
"Oh…anyways, do you want to watch the sunset from the beach onee-chan?"
"Sure."
"Let's go then." She held my hand and ran to the beach.
We sat on the white sand. My eyes sparkled because of the wonderful view before us. The sun is setting at this time.
"Wonderful isn't it?" I asked Aoi.
"More like… mysterious onee-chan…." She answered back with a glint of sadness.
"What's the problem Aoi?" I turned to her
"N-nothing." She said as she turned her face to the ground.
"Come on, say it."
"It's really nothing to worry about onee-chan."
"Aoi."
"Yes?"
"Do you like stories?"
"Of course!!!"
"Then I'll tell you one, listen okay?"
"Alright."
"There was once a girl who acts cheerful all the time. She's loud mouthed one and has many friends. But then, what her friends didn't know is that whenever she's alone she cry a river of tears. She cries because she doesn't have parents… she did not even meet them. She cries because she's alone. She cries because no one really knows her, she cries because of the many trials that life has given her."
"Then?"
"Then, one day, her friend saw how miserable she was. Did you know what her friend does?"
"Her friend leaves her?"
"No. She embraced her tightly and said "You're not alone. You are my friend and I'm meant to share feelings with you. God put us together because He knows that we need each other. So you don't have to endure it all yourself. I'm here… ready to rise or fall... together with you, my friend."
"Wow… That's… that's a great friendship." She said now smiling a real one.
"Do you know who the girl is?"
"No."
"It's me, Aoi. I thought I was alone in the world. But my friends prove that I wasn't. I always wonder what would be am I if I told them my loneliness earlier than that… maybe I'm more better person right now."
"But you're a great person onee-chan!!!" she screamed.
"Is that so?"
"Yes!"
"Then why would the people close to my heart won't tell me their problems?"
"Ummm… ahhh…." She stammered.
"See? Aoi, you're not different to me. We are family, and I don't want to see you sad. I want for us to be great friends."
"Alright onee-chan… I'll tell it to you."
"Okay. I'm listening."
"Well, there's this long time friend that I have…"
"How long?" I asked excitedly.
"For nine years."
"What happened?"
"Stop asking questions onee-chan! I'll narrate the whole story."
"Alright. Sorry."
"…so I think I'm in love with him. My heart beats extra fast when he's there and I'm always thinking of him… My problem now is that, I don't know how to confess to him."
"Do you think he have feelings for you?" I asked.
"Umm… I don't really know. Well, he always protects me, he treats me lunch, he embraces me at an unexpected times, he always brings me flowers and chocolates and he's mad when he sees me with other man."
"Shoot. You two are in love with each other my dear! All you have to do is to say you love him."
"But, what if he rejects me?"
"There's no way to that! You're such a beautiful woman to bust. I'm hundred percent that he loves you too."
"Really?"
"Really, Aoi. So cheer up!!! Come on you can do it!"
"Thank you onee-chan!!! I love you so much!!!" she hugs me.
"No problem Aoi."
We turned to see the sun setting; the beach is so calm and peaceful. There's no one else in the beach and the hotel, only the Hyuuga's. Grandpa reserved this hotel for us to enjoy ourselves. Did I mention that he's the owner?
After quite awhile, I felt a sharp twinge on my body…
"Ahhh!!!" I winced in pain as I felt something painful in my stomach.
"What's the problem onee-chan?!"
"My babies…" I said as I continue to clutch my wincing part of the body.
"You're pregnant?!! Oh my god!!! What to do? What to do???" she started to run in circles and screaming loudly.
"Aoi…please call Natsume immediately." I requested.
"Alright… right… Stay here onee-chan!!!" she then hurried off to the hotel as I continued to endure the pain.
Normal POV
"ONII-CHAN!!!" Aoi shouted as she search for Natsume.
"What's the matter Aoi?" She found him and Mr. Nobukazu on the living room, happily chatting.
"ONII-CHAN!!!" she shouted once again as she ran into circles frankly.
"What? Something happened?" he asked worriedly to her.
"Aoi. Relax and speak to us." Mr. Nobukazu grabs her and sits her to one of the chairs.
"ONII-CHAN, GRANDPA, IT'S ONEE-CHAN!!!"
"What happened to Mikan?!!!" Natsume asked panicking.
"SHE'S IN PAIN RIGHT NOW… PLEASE GO TO HER ONII-CHAN, SHE'S CALLING YOU!!!" Aoi finally speak.
They burst out of the door and run to where Mikan is.
End of Normal POV
"God… this is too painful… Ahh.." I flinched, more hard this time.
"Natsume…Ahh! Where in hell are you?!" I screamed in pain.
"Mikan?" Someone called out my name. I turned around to see who it was.
"Ken?" I stared at him. He's familiar! It's Ken!
"Are you alright?" he asked and went to me.
"Ken! Please help me… my babies… ahh!" I called out to him, enduring the pain I've felt from before.
He has a pair of crimson eyes like Natsume's, silver hair, muscular body. He's in the same age as my husband. Ken is Auntie Kaede's son and that makes it Natsume's cousin.
He gently carried me and started to walk to somewhere as I continue to wince.
We then entered a two storey house then walked in. I didn't bother opening my eyes because of the pain that's killing me.
"Mikan!!! Ken what happened?!" I heard Uncle Simon asked. I slowly open my eyes…
Ken went upstairs and opens a door. It's an elegant room with king size bed, with elegant cabinets, elegant lampshades, like the one we see in a five star hotel room. He gently put me to bed and covered me with blanket.
Just then, the door burst open.
"Ken! Go outside!" Uncle Simon commands him.
"No." he replied.
"But I'm going to check her! I'm her Doctor!"
"So what?" he smirked.
"Whatever! You big headed!" I continued to breathe heavily as I hear them chatting.
Uncle Simon then checked me. And after about ten minutes, I started to breathe normally and the pain I felt on my stomach seems to go away.
"How's she?" Ken asked.
"She's saved! She's fine now. It's just over fatigue and stress. You should be really careful next time Mikan." Uncle Simon reminded me. I nodded in agreement. He then do it again, he reach for my hand and kissed it tenderly.
"You old man!!! What the hell do you think you're doing?!!" Ken animatedly smacked him on his head.
"FORM OF RESPECT! IDIOT!" he screamed at him.
"Just go away old hag. Don't touch her." Oh… Natsume and Ken are really cousins. They have the same attitude.
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'M GOING!"
"Good." Ken smirked.
"Ken, give her this medicine. She needs some rest so don't do anything stupid."
"Whatever father." After that Uncle Simon walks out, closing the room's door.
"Are you alright now?" he asked me.
"Yes. Uhmmm… thanks Ken."
"That's nothing." He smiled at me. He rarely smiles. Haha. All of the Hyuuga's rarely smiles. I guess it comes from the blood line.
"Uhm… I guess I'm alright now. I'm going back now." I said as I started to stand.
"Ooopsss, you're not going anywhere…" he pushed me gently to bed.
"But… but… Natsume should be worrying about me now."
"You have to rest."
"I would not get to rest until I see Natsume."
"Okay, I guess I can't do something about that. Just drink these pills."
"Alright." I take the pills from his hands and drink it.
"Done." I said to him.
"Then let's go." He started to carry me bridal style.
"What are you doing Ken???" I asked him.
"What do you want? I'll carry you to him or sleep here?"
"Uhm…the first choice, I presume."
Subsequently, we started our long walk…
"Where's Mikan Aoi?!" Natsume inquire to his sister.
"I…I…I LEAVE HER HERE!!!" she started to panic. Natsume get alarmed by this then he started to search the whole hotel looking for Mikan.
"Aoi, call the director of the hotel and announce them to search for Mikan." Said Mr. Nobukazu.
"Yes grandpa." She then went to the office of the director.
They search through the whole hotel. The pools, rooms, gardens, shops and so on. But no Mikan found. Natsume who's now completely bothered by Mikan is in the main lobby together with Aoi, Mr. Nobukazu and the director.
"WHERE IN THE WOLRD IS SHE?!" Natsume screamed.
"Don't worry son, she should be here soon." Mr. Nobukazu said while Aoi continue to walk in circles.
"My staff would find him sir." The director assured.
At the moment, Doctor Simon is passing by the main lobby. He's humming happily.
"Hey old hag, did you see my wife?" Natsume asked.
"I'M NOT YET OLD NATSUME!!!" he retorts.
"You didn't answer my question." He responds annoyed.
"Oh… you're dear wife, is alright now. The stomach ache is caused by stress and over fatigue. You should keep an eye on her Natsume."
"You stupid man! You did not answer my question!!" Natsume said impatiently.
"What was your question again???" the man replied. Trying to remember what question he was asking.
"I'm asking where Mikan is! Damn it!!!"
Just then, Ken appeared with Mikan on his arms. She's peacefully sleeping.
"She's with me cousin." Natsume's eyes widen when they saw them. After he recovered from the sudden shock, he quickly snatched Mikan away from him.
"What did you do to her?" he asked.
"Well, I just took care of her for the time being." He smirks.
"Nothing else?"
"And just a little kiss." Natsume glared at him. He was producing a deadly aura… and it was getting hotter and hotter through the passing seconds. He was ready to kill someone at the moment.
"Hahaha… just kidding cousin! Why would I do that to her?! She's like a sister to me." Ken laughed.
Mikan stirred in her sleep… "Natsume… don't leave me." She muttered, probably dreaming. She snuggled closely into him as he held her tightly. This made him calm down.
"Thanks cousin." He uttered and then proceeds to their hotel room.
Normal POV
Morning came. Half asleep, Natsume reach his hands on his side expecting to touch his wife's smooth body. But unfortunately, all he could sense is the softness of the pillows. He quickly opened his eyes and sat up, his eyes roaming around the room searching for his beloved.
But he saw no one. So he goes off the room. His feet led him to the Dining Hall. There he saw them, his Grandpa, Auntie Kaede, Uncle Simon and Ken, happily eating there breakfast while chatting. On one corner, he saw his Mikan and his father having a joyous talk.
"Ohayo Natsume!!!" his grandfather greeted him. He just nodded. Mikan and his father finally notice him.
"Oh!!! My handsome son is now awake! Good morning son!" his father cheerfully welcomed him. But he only walk past him and went to Mikan.
"Ohayo Gozaimasu Natsume!!! How was your sleep?" She stood up and walk to him. He didn't bother to answer her. He marches towards her and grab his dear wife. He cuddles her into his arms.
"Idiot… Don't make me worry like that again."
"I…I'm sorry. It's just that… I did not expect that…Gomen Natsume!"She started to sob… leading to shedding tears.
"Don't cry." He commanded. "Bu-…but…" she protested.
"I said don't cry. It's alright now."
"Mikan!!! My grandsons would be ugly if you always act so down." Mr. Kenji, father of Natsume said, trying to cheer the brunette.
"Oh!!! Thank you for being kind to me Father." Mr. Kenji smiled at her.
"Come on!!! Let's eat!!! So that my grandsons will be healthy as Grandpa!!!"
"Alright Father!!!" They proceed on their seats on the dining table and merrily eat together with their relatives.
Afterwards, all the Hyuuga's proceed to the beach. It's Beach time!!!
Natsume and Mikan sat on the bench. All their relatives have gone through the water. They are all excited. Well, they should make their little vacation fun because after this, they'll be doing loads of work again.
"Natsume… I think you should join them." Mikan said to his husband. She believe he should have to relax himself for all the stress the work and herself has given to him.
"No. I'll just stay here with you. Besides, I don't like beaches." He replied simply.
"But I think you should enjoy this last day of vacation Natsume. Because for sure, tomorrow, you would be smash up by your job again."
"But I am enjoying this." He retort.
"Oh come on Natsume! I'll be fine here. Just go and swim with them!!!" she started to drag him.
"Seeing you in high spirits with my family is enough to relax me Mikan." He uttered.
"Huh?" She replied dumb folded.
"Being with you is what I enjoy most. So let me stay here…with you."
She's shocked at first. Even though they are married, times like this is rarely experienced.
"Okay…If you say so." He put his arms around her shoulders. She snuggled close to him, inhaling his scent. They stay like this while watching their relatives playing under the sun.
"Hey princess." They turned around and saw Youichi, the younger brother of Ken. He's five years old at the current time.
"Oh…hi Youichi!!! Glad to see you!" She replied gladly. The boy started to call her princess because he likes her beauty and personality, perfect for a princess. He greeted Natsume then he makes himself comfortable on Mikan's lap.
"Do you want to swim princess?" he looks at her with hopeful eyes.
"I want to but I can't Youchi." She played with his silver hair.
"Oh… I understand. It's because you're pregnant right?"
"Yes little boy, I am."
"What about we play tag?"
"Youichi, Mikan can't move so much because she might end up in the hospital." Natsume budge in. The boy's face saddened.
"It's just for awhile my prince, we could play after my sons came to the world. Don't you like that? We are now many in the group." She perseveringly said, lighting up the face of the boy.
"I'll wait for that Princess. For the mean time, I'll just play with Grandpa." He stood up and went to Mr. Nobukazu.
"That's better."
"Yeah."
"Natsume, did you ever wonder what would our babies look like?"
"No. I didn't bother marveling about that."
"Why?"
"Because they will be as handsome as I am." Mikan playfully punch him on the chest.
"You're so full of yourself ha!"
"Just joking… The one that I'm exactly sure at is that they're both beautiful persons."
"And why's that?"
"Because their parents are perfect." She blushed at the comment.
"Let's wait for that." She smiled, he smirked.
"Events always occur without warning. It is only after the fact that the reasons become clear."
