Freshly baked goods filled the air and beautiful light pink flowers surrounded the place. Everyone sat in white comfortable seats waiting for the wedding to start. Tsukushi and Yuki sneaked into Shizuka's dressing room. When they entered, Shizuka took a deep breath, looking at herself in the mirror. She saw them in the mirror and smiled at them. "Are you ready?" Tsukushi asked. Shizuka fanned her eyes. "You look beautiful." Yuki said. A tear came down and a Shizuka quickly wiped it. "You guys, stop!" She said laughing, she couldn't help it anymore. "This is it, the happiest day of my life. I just wished my parents were here." Tsukushi thought back to back in Japan and the events that happened between her and Shizuka's father. She suddenly remembered how he questioned her relation to Rui. Tsukushi shook her head, blocking out the thought and wondering if they would actually show up. Suddenly the door opened. Shizuka's parents walked in. Her mother had tears. "Look how beautiful she is." Shizuka ran to her mother and hugged her. Tsukushi kept her eyes on Shizuka's father, unable to forget what he said. He smiled at her and bowed. She bowed back and grabbed Yuki out.

Violins and Cello accompanied by the piano sounded the while Shizuka walked down the isle with both her parents. Shizuka cried rivers as her parents handed her off to Darien. Darien greatly bowed to both of them. Tsukushi tried to hold her tears in. Rui took her hand and smiled. "Squeeze as hard as you like." Tsukushi smiled back and squeezed. "Today we are gathered here for the marriage of Shizuka and Darien. If anyone objects to them being together, speak now, or forever hold your peace." Everyone looked around at each other. Tsukushi didn't bother to looked at Shizuka's father, for now he finally accepted. "Then by the power vested in me, Darien, you may kiss your bride, Shizuka." Darien smiled at Shizuka, who tried to do the same but the tears wouldn't stop coming. Darien wiped her tears and kissed her. Everyone cheered as Shizuka and Darien walked up the isle, first time being husband and wife. Each row was escorted to greet them. It was Tsukushi's turn. She walked up to them and sighed. "Congratulations!" She said. Shizuka hugged her. "Thank you so much Tsukushi, meeting you was like magic. My father told me everything. Thank you so much." Tsukushi hugged her back then moved on to Darien. She hugged him. "I don't know you yet, but I hope to. You're so important to Shizuka and Rui... and that means you're important to me." Tsukushi smiled and moved on. She waited for Rui and Yuki. Someone comes up and leans on her shoulder. "Happy huh?" Tsukushi turned to see it was Tsukasa. "Tsukasa!" She hugged him. Tsubaki popped her head out. Tsukushi hugged her also. "Finally we find you guys." Tsubaki said. Rui walked up and just looked at them. Tsukasa held his arms out. "What? No hug?" Rui lounged himself toward Tsukasa. "I've missed you."

Darien stood up and held his glass up. Everyone did the same. "Thank you all who made this the perfect day." He looked at Shizuka and pulled her to her feet. "And to make this day even more perfect would be to share this lovely news with you all." Darien turned to his in-laws. "Mom, Dad, I hope you're ready to be grandparents." Everyone banged on their glasses with their spoons. Everyone drinks their glass. Tsukushi looks at her glass. She watches Yuki drink it. "It's sparkling apple cider." Yuki assured Tsukushi, who gulped it down. Waiters came around to take the glasses and drink orders. "I'll have a coke." Rui said. Tsukasa nodded to that too. The waiter looked at Tsukushi. "Lemonade." She answered. Yuki noticed Rui's odd look and ordered one as well. Tsubaki was suspicious and ordered too. "Lemonade sure is popular." Rui said. Tsukushi just smiled. "ALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE BRIDE DANCE WILL BEGIN SHORTLY! IF YOU'D LIKE TO DANCE WITH HER, LINE UP OVER HERE!" Rui got up and walked over into the line. Tsukasa leaned don the table. "Alright, spill the beans. Why did you all order lemonade?" Tsubaki elbowed him. "Tsukasa, we all can't just want lemonade for a change?" She tried to shut him up. Tsukasa examined them. "You can, but theres something going on." Tsukasa pointed to Tsukhshi. "You, you're hiding something." Tsukushi blushed. "Shut up hair! I'm not hiding anything." Yuki squealed. "Tsukushi's pregnant!" Tsukushi looked around. "Yuki!" Tsukushi rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist."

"That's great!" Tsubaki said. Tsukasa had a shocked look on his face. "I leave you for 3 weeks and you get pregnant?" He looked away and crossed his arms. Tsukushi looked away also. "Well, I'm I'm happy for you. I hope it's Rui's." Tsukushi turned around and slapped his arm. Shizuka's father walks up to their table. They all bow to him from their seats. He kneels to Tsukushi. Embarrassed, she quickly tried to pulled him to his feet, but he resisted. "If you hadn't persisted me to come, I wouldn't of seen her so happy." He held his position for a little longer then stood up. "Tsukushi Makino, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to come to me." He bowed and walked away. Tsukushi was amazed. Yuki hugged her arm and pointed. "I see Rui's mom." She said. Tsukushi snapped out of it and looked. "You should tell her." Tsukushi looked to see what place Rui for the line. He was second. Tsukushi made her way to Rui's mom. She sat next to her. "Oh Tsukushi dear, isn't this lovely?" Tsukushi nodded and motioned for her to come closer. Rui's mom moved closer. Tsukushi whispered in her ear. "I'm pregnant with Rui's baby." Rui's mom pulled away and looked at her stomach. "Are you sure?" Tsukushi could hear her excitement. She nodded and hugger her. "Have you told Rui yet?"

"No, I was waiting until a little later." Tsukushi looked over and saw Rui dancing with Shizuka. she sighed. What am I to him? Lover? Girlfriend? Or maybe just a friend. Tsukushi sat in a daze as Rui walked up to her. "May I have this dance?" He asked. Tsukushi took his hand and walked to the dance floor. "Hey, Rui, we..." Tsukushi trailed off. "We what?" Rui asked. "Never mind." Tsukushi would save it for another time.
