Let's go everywhere together
Turn two years into forever
We'll make diamonds under pressure
And turn the pain into pleasure

As Christmas quickly passes, the two began planning their wedding, which they had been planning for a few months. If everything went as planned, they'd be getting married on New Year's Eve, bringing in the new year as a married couple. They already had a venue, a caterer, outfits together, and all the invites were sent. Asuna's bridesmaids are Suguha, Rika, and Alice, while Kazuto's best men are Eugeo and Klein.

Asuna's bridal shower and Kazuto bachelorette party were done and over with, so the last thing left was just the wedding. 

At the moment Asuna and Kazuto were over Alice and Eugeo's house. Kirito and Eugeo were on the game, while Asuna and Alice sat upstairs talking. In the few months that passed Alice's baby bump was pretty visible aswell. 

"Maybe we should go to the mall...they'll probably be on the game all day," Asuna comments to Alice which she quickly agrees to. 

"Where are you two going?" Eugeo is the first to notice. "To the mall," Alice says, pulling on her jacket. "Stay safe," Eugeo tells her, giving her a quick kiss on the lips. "Sure you don't want us to come with?" Kazuto asks, pausing his game. "No...you'll just complain the whole time," Asuna says, giving him a quick peck on the lips before saying goodbye. 

The two girls head out quickly after that. They head to the mall, where they do plenty of shopping. Throughout their shopping, the two also decide to talk about her pregnancy. "Do you know what you're having?" Asuna asks her. Alice nods her head excitedly. "I've been waiting to tell you this in person...." Alice trails off happily.

"I'm having a boy!" she says. Asuna immediately smiles, hugging her friends. "Alice I'm so happy for you!" she says. "Have you two thought any names?" Asuna questions. "A few...but the real topic at hand is when you and Kazuto are going to have another child," she smirks.

Asuna laughs. "Not now," she says which makes her friend pout. "Oh come on Asuna! We could be pregnant together and take cute pictures and go on cute trips!" she says, crossing her arms. "We could," Asuna says, thinking about it for a bit. She was pregnant five years ago, which was awhile ago. She wouldn't mind giving Yui another sibling either...of course if she didn't have one coming, which she hoped not.

"Just talk Kazuto into it after the wedding, okay?" Alice says, and Asuna nods, not finding it that much of a bad idea anymore either. They finish their shopping after that, heading back to Alice and Eugeo's home. As they walk inside, both Eugeo and Kazuto finished their game. They were talking about some crazy monster they defeated together.

A few minutes later, both Kirito and Asuna head out since they have to pick up Yui from school. This wouldn't be their last goodbyes though, since they would see each other at the wedding. 

"How was school?" Asuna asks Yui as she enters the car. Yui smiles and nods. "It was great mommy! And look, it's even snowing!" Yui says, looking out of the glass mirrors. It was infact snowing, and it seemed to be coming down pretty hard, adding more to the snow that had already fallen. Asuna nods, a smile on her face as she also looks out. 

"What do you say Yui, want to build a snowman when we get home?" Asuna asks her, turning around a bit from the passengers seat. Yui nods, immediately brightening up. "Of course mommy!" 

Like she said, as soon as they exit the car, Asuna runs to the front of the yard with her daughter in tow. Kazuto walks behind his family, a smile on his face as he watches them build up the first layer of their snowman. Once it was finished, he watches as Asuna and Yui search around for two sticks for arms and rocks. Once they find everything, they stick it into the snowman, finishing him off with a carrot for a nose.

"Wanna make snow angels?" Asuna asks her daughter who quickly nods. "You're gonna catch colds like that!" Kirito calls from the porch, watching as his girls sat in the snow. Asuna rolls her eyes. "Will not!" she says.

And just like that, the next morning she wakes up with a throbbing headache, cough, and a runny noise. "I was right," Kazuto says, handing her a box of tissue. Asuna doesn't decide to come back with a snarky reply, being to sick to think of anything.

"I'll nurse mommy back to help! In no time-" "No can do missy," Kirito says, cutting his daughter off. "You have to head to school, and lucky for you you don't have a fever," he tells her, watching as she groans before walking up the stairs to get dressed for school.

He then turns back to Asuna. "I'll take off of work-" "I'll be fine," she says, followed by several coughs. "You will not, you can barely stand up." he says. "I can," she says, mostly to herself. Asuna shakily removes the blanket, immediately being met with cold hair. She's freezing, but she ignores that and stands to her feet...

...in which she falls to the ground. Immediately.

"You're being stubborn," Kazuto says, picking her up and placing her back in bed. "I'll be back with medicine once I'm done dropping Yui off from school. Stay in bed and rest till I get back," he tells her.

Asuna does as said, not because she wanted to, simply because she couldn't do anything else. Around thirty minutes later Kazuto's back with medicine as he said, which he gives to her as well as some soup. 

"Won't you get sick if you stay here with me?" Asuna questions, sneezing quickly. He shrugs. "So what. I stayed home to nurse you and keep you company so I'll do just that," he says, kissing her cheek. The rest of the day, he nurses her back to health, talking to her when she felt like it and letting her sleep.

When Asuna awakes the next morning, she finds Kazuto coughing and sneezing like she was previously. She smiles to herself a bit. "And you call me stubborn," she mumbles, knowing the only reason for him being sick is for being around her.
