After Haruhi got off the phone with Kaoru she went back inside. Walking through her living room, she checked on Aimi. The small girl was peacefully sleeping, snuggling close to the blanket Into had given to her.
When Haruhi woke up the next morning, Aimi was sitting next to her her on the bed, staring out the door and holding her knees to her chest. Yawning, Haruhi got up and put a robe on. "Good morning Aimi. What are you doing in here?"

"There are lots of people out there." Aimi responded quietly. Sure enough, when Haruhi looked in the living room, her friends and their families were there.

"I'll go make you some breakfast after I get ready. For now, why don't you go say hi to everyone." Haruhi said, walking out the room. Aimi shook her head, not wanting to go out in front of so many people. "What's wrong sweetie?" Haruhi asked, emerging from her closet now with a blouse and pants on.

Aimi clutched onto Haruhi's leg. "I'm scared." She murmured. Haruhi bent down to the small girl's height. "Okay, then we'll go together okay?" Aimi nodded as Haruhi stood and reached for Aimi's hand.

The two walked into the living room, and seeing just how many people there were, Aimi hid behind Haruhi. Among the people in the living room were Haruhi's six friends and their wives and children.

"Hey guys, you're here early." Haruhi said, making her way into the kitchen. She had started making Aimi a simple breakfast of eggs and toast when she heard a squeal. "Oh, Haruhi she's adorable!" It was Tamaki. Of course. Having finished Aimi's breakfast she put it on a plate and went to the living room where Tamaki was spinning the poor child around in his arms.

His own child, Fleur, grew jealous of this other child he was holding. "Papa! Pick me up too!" She whined. Tamaki put down Aimi, who immediately ran to Haruhi, picked up his own child, who looked a lot like her mother, Renée. She was blond like Tamaki, but had blue eyes and tanned skin like her mom. "Of course princess, Papa would never forget about you!"
Hikaru and Kaoru laughed, as Haruhi went to feed Aimi. "Boss," they started, "I don't think she likes you very much!" Mori's son, Sousuke, laughed as well. "The last girl that ran away from Tamaki like that was Tomoya-chan."

"Hey!" Tomoya cried embarrassed. The girl Had bright red hair, like her parents, though she had brown eyes like her mother. Her hair was braided down her back and she started playing with it, looking away from Sousuke.

Mori's wife, Yamada, scolded her son. "Sousuke, that's rude!" Under his mother's glare, Sousuke bowed his head and apologized to Tamaki.

Aimi quickly finished her breakfast and was back in the living room within ten minutes. Hunny's daughter, Miki, who completely resembled her father, complete with her own bunny, dubbed Gin-kun, looked at Aimi. Turning to her mother, Yuki, she asked why the girl was only wearing a tshirt, and not her play clothes. Aimi, who had heard the question, looked down, embarrassed. She didn't have any clothes.

Nagisa, Hikaru's wife, saw Aimi was embarrassed. "Kaoru, didn't you have a bag of clothes you wanted to give ..." She stopped not knowing Aimi's name.

"Aimi." Into answered for her. Aimi looked up. They had brought clothes, for her?

"Dad, is that why we brought these clothes over?" Kaoru's daughter, Sophia asked. "Why doesn't she have any clothes of her own?"

The talk amongst the adults stopped. Alice answered her daughter's question. "Sweetheart, Aimi was found late yesterday, when all the shops were closed."

"Oh..." Now Sophia felt bad. She had embarrassed Aimi more than she already was. Grabbing the bag of clothes from her father, she took it to Haruhi's room, grabbing Aimi from behind Haruhi as she went.


"I'm sorry." Sophia said, carefully laying out the clothes in the bag on the bed. Each item had a match, like the turquoise shirt went with the white pants and headband. However, Sophia like to mix and match, and she did so well.

Aimi looked at the clothes. Out of every thing on the bed, what she loved most was the green candy stripe dress. It had spaghetti straps and a small jacket to go with it, along with a pair of white socks and green flats to match.

Sophia had already chosen an outfit, though. It was a pink and black polka dotted shirt with the white pants from before. She had kept the shoes, black, with a small heel and the pink bow for Aimi's hair. "Here, put this on. I'll help with your hair."

Aimi wasn't about to say no to this girl, so she went into Haruhi's closet and put on the outfit. "Its cute." Aimi murmured. She walked out of the closet and sat down, as Sophia began to do her hair. She carefully put small curlers at the ends of Aimi's hair after she brushed it out. She fixed her bangs so that one side seemed longer than the other and placed the bow on the shorter side, before removing the curlers.

"You look adorable!" Sophia said, helping Aimi stand. Aimi looked in Haruhi's mirror, having to stand on her tiptoes a bit to see, and she did. She looked better than she ever thought she would. When she turned, she saw Sophia staring at her, one hand on her cheek.

"I don't have any make-up, and you don't need it, but your cheeks look a bit pale." Sophia said, reaching to Aimi's cheeks and pinching them gently, just to make them a light shade of pink. "Perfect! Let's go!" Sophia cheered, grabbing Aimi's hand and dragging her out of the room.


"Ta-Dah!" Sophia cheered, moving out of the way so that everyone could see Aimi. The small, green-eyed child looked down, embarrassed. Miki ran over to Aimi. "Woah! You look so cute Ai-chan! Isn't that right Gin-kun?" Miki asked, holding up her bunny.

"It's a large improvement from before." said one of the older boys, Daichi. The boy wore glasses and had shimmery brown hair like Aimi's. he wasn't wearing play clothes, but rather a formal suit, for pictures. His sister ,Hisayo, hit him. "Daichi, that wasn't nice." She was a bit younger, and had the same sharp features as her brother, though her hair was jet black. She was also wearing a rather fancy dress. Their father must have been the man, who also bore glasses. Though there didn't seem to be a woman around that could've been their mother.

Miki pulled over another boy, this one was completely silent, and seemed a bit intimidating. "Tai-kun, isn't she adorable?" Tai simply nodded. Tai had dark brown hair, similar to his mother's, and bright eyes like his father's, though he remained expressionless, like his uncle.

While everyone was fawning over the little girl, Kyoya got a call and went outside to take it. When he came back it, he had a more serious look on his face, which Haruhi saw. She knew they needed to talk. He had gotten her message, and it was about her question.

"Who wants to go to the park?" Haruhi stood asking. though a few of the older children wouldn't like it, the abundance of small children would, and everyone needed a break from being inside anyways.
A chorus of "Me! Me! Me!" was heard throughout the room, as the adults stood packing their things, preparing for the trip out.


So I've finally decided to keep working on this story. How often will updates be, that I don't know. If you'll notice, alot of the wives, and Ito's name were taken from random other animes. Except for Alice, which is my friend's French name. If you know or can figure out who's name is from what, then you get a cupcake~!
