Notes: Minor spoilers for the anime and manga, nothing too specific. Much speculation and wishful thinking on my part.

 

01. The first time Yuki actually thought of Saki in a different light was shortly after she apologized to him for "Speaking poorly of him."

02. Saki took notice of Yuki after realizing how isolated he was even in a crowd; she felt she could relate.

03. Yuki at one point had rather vivid dreams of Saki, which caused him to act even more uncomfortable around her.

04. The teacher once noticed Yuki glancing over at Saki during a class outburst involving his fan club girls, that inspired the teacher to pair Yuki and Saki up for a couple of class projects.

05. Yuki and Saki managed to keep their budding romance a secret from everyone until his Fan club girls witnessed the couple's first kiss.

06. After the Fan club spread the word, Yuki and Saki endured much prying and lots of teasing.

07. Begrudgingly Yuki allowed Ayame and Mine to meet Saki. Although Yuki had worried they would chase Saki away; she maintained her calm demeanor and shrugged off their attempts to make her over.

08. Saki and Yuki's mother came face to face during an outing the couple was on with Megumi. Yuki was happy to see that neither Saki nor Megumi were intimidated by his mother and her mind games.

09. Yuki knew it had to be love the moment Saki stood up to his mother with out backing down or flinching.

10. Shortly after the incident with Yuki's mother, Saki found out about the Sohma secret. Saki didn't seem surprised or shy away. It's not like she and her brother were all that normal anyway. 'Besides normal is boring.'

11. By the time Saki met Akito, Akito had already established a friendship with Tohru. Much to Yuki's relief Saki and Akito managed to come to an understanding and Saki was allowed to keep her memories of the secret.

12. Years later when they got married, Yuki was surprised to find out how well Saki could cook; little did he know she hired a maid to do the cooking and cleaning instead.

13. Saki and Yuki never did get his parents approval but neither seemed to care.

14. Two years into their marriage, they conceived their first child. Upon hearing the news Ayame and Mine insisted on making Saki a maternity wardrobe and designing all the babies clothes much to Yuki's chagrin.

15. The day that Yuki's curse lifted he was overwhelmed with sadness but at the same time happiness as Saki embraced him. Silently she held him allowing him to cry.

16. After so many years of having to keep his distance, Yuki is learning the joys of cuddling. Saki was never really a touchy-feelly person but she happily indulges her husband.

17. The moment Yuki held his first son in his arms a sense of complete peace washed over him. Watching the father and son, Saki felt at peace as well.

18. Yuki tried his best to be good natured about some of the clothes Ayame and Mine made for his son, but there was no way he would allow his son to be dressed like a girl. Saki thought Yuki's reaction to the clothes was more personally motivated then he realized.

19. Six months after their first son's birth, Saki found out she was pregnant again. Once news got around about the second pregnancy the multiply like rodents jokes started. Neither Yuki nor Saki was phased by the teasing, nothing could upset their happiness.

20. Both Saki and Yuki admit they never thought they would find domestic bliss but even someone who can read denpa waves can't predict the entire future with all its twist and turns. "The unpredictable is what makes life exciting."
