I do not own Ouran High School Host Club. I own my OC's and that's it!

Chapter One: The First Few Months Is The Hardest

This was the tenth day being in japan, and the tenth day of morning sickness. I knew that there were going to be consequences to my actions, but come on, did I have to suffer this much? When mom was carrying me, she said she didn't have morning sickness and she didn't have it with my sister. My mom, Bonnie, had called me every day so far despite the time difference here, which I was glad for. It was odd not living with her or dad. Dad didn't even know about what was going on with me, he only knew that Izzy was taking me to Japan to live with her while she went through the steps she needed to in order to plan to open her own business in the next few years. To top off me being sick, I had to go to the new school my sister enrolled me in; some place called Ouran Private Academy. I was so used to the public school system, that this was all going to be new to me. Thankfully, I had been studying Japanese on my own for some time, and was fluent in the language. I would much rather speak French of English though, I was much more fluent in those languages.

I rummaged through my closet, because I hadn't had the chance to get my uniform yet, so I had gotten permission from the headmaster of the school to wear what I wanted until I had my uniform. I wondered what it would be like here, and I smiled, knowing that now that I could start fresh, I was going to make the best of the day. I pulled on my favorite pair of jeans, and a white and blue button up top and brushed my hair out so that it framed my face. To be honest, I couldn't wait to go to this new school; hoping that it would be a better and different experience than the experiences in public school. I had heard from my sister that there were kids from fairly wealthy and prominent families, one in particular being the family that offered to allow her to work for them in Japan. If I was lucky, I would get a chance to meet them.

At Ouran

I looked around; the school was much bigger than the last school I had been to and on my first day, I was told to go and see the chairman of the school. There, he discussed my schedule and showed me around the school. He showed me where all my classes would be and a bell rang to signal lunch as he was going over criteria for the classes and giving me paperwork to fill out, he told me that he would take me to the cafeteria to meet several people he felt as though I should meet. But, when they weren't there, he took me upstairs to a music room and as he opened the door seven teenagers, all various ages and sizes were there to catch my gaze. He introduced me to each person on the group individually while they carried on setting up for a host club; whatever that was exactly. The first person I met was Tamaki Suoh, who used to live in France with his mother before he moved here with his father's family. He was tall and had short blonde hair and he seemed a bit over-eccentric if you asked me. But, overall he seemed to be a genuine and nice individual. Then I was introduced to Mitskune Honinozuke and Takashi Morinozuk; they were cousins skilled in martial arts, and while Mori, as his friends called him, looked his age, Mitskune looked to be in middle school but he was a Third Year student here. Then, there were twins Hikaru and Kaoru Hiitachin; who were first year students. I found it fairly easy to tell them apart, despite the fact they were identical and I barely knew them. Hearing them, they distinctly sounded different and also acted differently. Then, there was Haruhi. It seemed to me as though he was too feminine to be a boy, so I came to the conclusion that maybe, Haruhi was not a boy but a girl. She was here on a scholarship for her high school years; I really wanted to get to know her. Finally, there was Kyoya Ootori. He was fairly tall, dark hair, and was in the same class as Tamaki and I. He looked professional, smart, and cunning and when I heard the chairman tell me his last name, I realized that his family was who my sister would be working under.

After introductions, the chairman left me with the group to socialize during the lunch period. I felt slightly out of place not wearing a uniform, and I also felt awkward as Mr Suoh closed the door behind him, but that feeling was gone once everyone began to socialize with me. As Tamaki began to tell me about the host club, Haruhi came over and offered me some tea.

"Is that earl grey tea? Honestly, thank you. I particularly favor this kind of tea. My mom used to make it for me when I was sick; she would add honey and a tiny bit of milk so that it would soothe my sore throat. After that, I just enjoyed drinking it when I wanted to relax. So, can anyone come to this host club?"

"Mainly, we do charge a small fee to the people that do come. Everyone here, with the exception of Haruhi, comes from exceptionally prominent families. But, for you we may be able to work something out." Kyoya stepped in and smirked at me. I could feel my cheeks flushing and I turned away.

"Aw! She's blushing!" Honey said, going to stand in front of me. "Don't worry, Kyo-chan isn't as scary as he can seem to be. He's a generally good guy!" With that, Mori picked him up and they went to sit on the couch together. The twins watched as Tamaki pulled me back into a conversation, and Haruhi joined us as well. After a little while, the bell rang, signaling the dismissal of the lunch period.

"You're in the same class as us, so I would be more than happy as the son of the chairman to escort you around for the day." Tamaki held his hand out to me, and I gladly took it, nodding my thanks and smiling at the tall blond host. They all seemed so genuine around girls. Suddenly, my phone went off in my pocket and I reached for it. It was from my mother; then there were several unread texts from Jayden. I put off answering him because I was afraid of what he would have said. I hadn't told him that I was moving out of the country, and that was how I wanted to keep it; my mother was top priority in my book. I opened the text message and Tamaki watched over my shoulder; I had a funny feeling that he had spotted Jayden's name on my lock screen.

"Your mother? I take it she didn't come here with you?" Tamaki asked. Kyoya followed alongside us as I pondered how exactly I would answer his question without giving out too much information for them to think bout after only just meeting me. Especially if he asked about Jayden. Tamaki's father knew I was pregnant, but what would they think? We had made plans that once I started to show that I would have an at home tutor that would teach me my lessons until I gave birth, as a gateway to be able to continue high school without any extreme stress.

"My mother stayed in the states with my dad. While they got divorced a couple years ago, I came here with my sister to keep he company. She didn't want to live here alone, and my mother thought it would be a great idea for me to just come along with her what with recent events in our lives." I clasped my hands in front of me and walked in silence the rest of the way. I could see a look on Tamaki's face, like he wanted to know more, but didn't want to push things further at this specific point. The silence did worry me at first, but after that I sort of appreciated it. It gave me time to determine how I would reveal certain information. If I wanted to be real friends with the people here, then I needed to be truthful and honest and not hide anything from them. They all seemed very genuine, kind, and caring, as well as understanding.

I sat in the back of the room for the rest of my classes between Tamaki and Kyoya and they helped me through a lot of the work until the final bell of the day rang. I had a lot of studying to do to make sure that I could stay caught up and understand everything going on in the classes that I was schedueled into. As I took out my phone, I noticed my mothers text, hoping that my day went well and that I should call her and talk to her later. Then, there was another text from Jayden saying that he needed to talk to me as soon as possible. I frowned, as I didn't want anything to do with him now. He didn't want anything to do with me or the baby, so why should I bother to try and contact him? With that I responded to my mother that I would be sure to give her a call and tell her all about my day. I went to exit the classroom and was caught by Tamaki and Kyoya.

"Would you care to join us for our daily club activities? I think you would enjoy them." Tamaki smiled at me as he said this, and I smiled back at him. I wanted to attend today, but I wasn't sure if I could; but as I was about to answer my sister called me. "Excuse me for one minute; Hey Izzy, whats up?" I answered my sister and heard her talking about how she would be late coming home from work and that if I wanted to do something there was a spare key under the front door mat. "Don't worry. I've got something to do, and then I am going to be headed home to study. I'll see you once you get home." With that I told the boys I would love to join them for a little while and we went to the third music room.

They hosted ladies over the course of two hours and I sat back and watched and ended up sippig on some tea. From time to time, I would chat with the hosts, either Tamaki, the twins or Haruhi just about things in general; from my hobbies, to what I used to do for fun. It was nice to be able to socialize just for the few hours during club and once everything was said and done, I went to help Haruhi clean up. We talked as we washed dishes, and she offered to let me come and visit, and if I needed any help, she would be more than glad to help. Once I left, I felt tired and at ease with how my day had gone and couldn't wait to go back tomorrow. The chairman had graciously allowed me to dress as I pleased, even though I had gotten my uniform that morning. In a way, I was glad. I walked into the house, and tossed my bag onto the couch and laid back in the arm chair. As I sat, I pondered about how my day had been so eventful and dialed my mother up to converse about my day. After that, I studied a little bit, while I waited for my sister to get home. It was around six oclock when there was a knock at the front door. I got up from my seat in the living room and looked to see the entire club standing outside with my sister just pulling in the drive. I opened the door and welcomed them through and my sister sent me a look and I nodded to her that everything was fine. My sister meeting the hosts? This ought to be very interesting.

**TIME SKIP***

After a few months of morning sickness and having a great day hanging out with the hosts was amazing. It made my days entirely worth while and made every day better thn the last. I really enjoyed my time with Haruhi after club hours especially. It was Saturday and the sun shone through my window and I streatched. A day off from school wasn't what I really wanted, but I smiled when I saw a text from each of the hosts saying that they were going to stop by. I could hear Izzy rummaging in the kitchen for food, and as I went to move out of bed, the doorbell rang. I went to my door, but suddenly had to dart to the bathroom. Morning sickness… Of all the times for this to kick in it had to be now.

"Katelyn, everyone's here to see you!" But, as I began to hurl, there was no hope of answering her calls for me to come down. Suddenly, there was a knock on the bathroom door and I heard Haruhi's voice. I shivered as the last of the contents of my stomach were emptied, and quickly flushed the toilet and brushed my teeth.

"Katelyn, is everything okay?" I could hear my sister and the hosts voicing their concerns down the hall as Haruhi continues to knock continuously on the door. I opened the door and Haruhi looked at me and I only smiled and said I was fine, and we both went down to the living room. As we all conversed and talked, and made plans for the club activities this week, I had other things on my mind. I still hadn't answered Jayden, and mom was trying to come up with money to come out and see us as soon as possible for a visit. Also, I hadn't told any of my friends about the whole pregnancy situation, and I was really worried now that I had hid it so long.

"You know, Kate, have you talked to mom recently? I haven't had much time to call her or anything. I hope she is doing okay, what with dad not being around and all…" Izzy took a swig of her coffee and sighed.

"I talk to her almost daily. She says she is fine, but I think she's lonely." And then my phone went off. Jayden, but this time he was calling. I answered the call, and excused myself from the room.

"What do you want? I have been ignoring you for a reason you know…"

"Kate, I'm sorry. I needed to talk to you. Look, I'm sorry that I said I didn't want anything to do with you or the baby, but I think I made a mistake…"

"Mistake? That's a little low for what you did Jayden. Things aren't going back to the way they were and I am not even in the country; So, if you have any ideas of trying to come see me, you may as well call them all off. Now, I am the one who wants nothing to do with you and I certainly don't want to hear from you anymore. I'm bettering myself here, and I am glad that I followed my sister here. I could have stayed, but why when all my friends are deliquents there and you're a royal… Why am I even trying to explain this?!" I ran a hand through my hair frustrated. I didn't want this conversation with him. Not now.

"Kate, I was wrong to have pushed you away! I was scared, and worried. But now I know that I shouldn't have done that. Please… Let me make it up to you."

"Goodbye… You cant make up for anything that you have done…" With that, I hung up the phone. He did this to get on my nerves, and it really worked. I could feel the tears start to form behind my eyes and my sister and the hosts were peeking around the corner as I wiped away the warm tears from my eyes.

"Was that who I think it was? I think I should give him a piece of my mind…" Izzy went to take my phone and I shoved it in my pocket, shaking my head. She quickly hugged me, and I cried into her shoulder. I guess now was as good a time as any to tell everyone what exactly was the problem. Each and every person watched me, concern all over their faces and they couldn't stand seeing me upset. The twins sat on the love seat, Mori and Honey both took the recliners in the living room, and then Tamaki and Kyoya sat on either side of me on the couch and my sister left us to allow for privacy.

"Kate, who were you talking to?" Haruhi asked, leaning against the wall.

"That was my ex boyfriend… He keeps trying to make amends, and I have already made the point clear to him that I don't want anything to do with him… I made a lot of wrong choices back home, and got into some serious trouble because of him and the group of people that I chose to hang out with. My mother kept pushing me, telling me that I was making wrong choices, and I just rebelled against her. I thought that it would also bring my dad back, but that really wasn't the case… He found someone new, and moved on. Sure, he used to call on occasion or pay us a visit, but he moved out of state and his contact kept coming less and less every day… I felt alone and lost, because I really looked up to him.

"But, there was a night I was upset with my father and I had been staying the night with Jayden and we ended up sleeping with eachother; not that we slept much, as much as I hate to say that… Just before I moved here with Izzy, I found out I was pregnant with his child. The only ones who know are my mom, sister, and now you guys and of course Tamaki's dad… I worried these past months about how exactly to bring it up to all of you because I didn't want you to think badly of me. But, I hated not saying anything this whole time. That's why I was sick this morning… I'm right in the end of my first trimester."

"We wouldn't have thought badly of you! And I can completely understand why you dindt tell us at first, but I am glad you did. You shouldn't have to go through it alone." I felt Haruhi place a gentle hand on my shoulder, and I was glad.

"Katelyn, none of us would ever treat you differently just because of something like this." Tamaki took a hold of one of my hands and smiled at me. "We will help you all the way through this! But, why exactly aren't you and Jayden together?"

"He didn't want anything to do with the baby at first, and I know he is saying these things to get on my nerves… He has always been that way with me; knowing what I want to hear and saying it to try and get me back on his side. He doesn't want to fix anything…"

**Kyoya's POV***

I watched her closely, not saying anything in regards to the topic at hand. Every day that I looked at her, I could feel my heart skip a beat when I saw her blue eyes staring at me, when she talked to me. Her presence intrigued me in a way that I was not used to in any way. She was very beautiful and intelligent and every day talking to her, she makes It known that she know she wants to run the business her sister is building with the instruction on my father. How a man such as the one she was with could say that he didn't want to be a part of their lives in unexcusable. If he pushed her the way she said, just saying things to push her buttons, this Jayden wasn't worthy of her in the least.

A man shouldn't use a woman for their own purpose and when an opportunity comes along to just dump them off because of their own choices, it's a disgrace. If it were me, I would be with her despite the fact that she isn't from a higher class family. The only thing that would matter is her and myself. How is it I can fall so hard for someone that I have just recently come to have known?

I listened intently to every word that she said, taking in every piece o information to get the entire story when her phone went off with another call. She shoved it across the table, allowing it to ring with an American song that I had once heard before; and the Caller ID said Jayden. Everyone waited, and as she went to grab it and hit the silence button, I snatched it before anyone could say anything and answered it; but I didn't say a word.

"Kate… Kate I'm really sorry! I made a mistake…" Everyone could hear the sorrow in his voice, like he knew he did something wrong, but nobody said anything, not even Katelyn.

"Answer me, please! I know you're there! DAMN IT! Your about as worthless as all the other women around here! Yes, I apologized because I knew it was what you wanted to hear! I wish you had stayed in the states and I could have found a way to get rid of this problem and we both would have been better off! There-"

"I suggest that you don't speak to a lady that way!"

"She's not the worthless one! You've got your head shoved so far up your ass you don't see what you were missing out on!" Hikaru snarled at James and then I began to speak.

"If you know what is good for you, you will leave her alone and not bother to try and contact her. She has made her point very clear that she wants nothing to do with you, just as you did before she left her home to come here…"

"Who the hell?!" and with that, I ended the call, seeing the shock all over Katelyns face. It wasn't a hurt shock, it was more of a shock that any of us would have spoken that way to anybody as we were not like this in school

"See? I told you. We wouldn't judge you on this. Now, him, if I could get my hands on him there wouldn't be any him left to deal with." Haruhi mumbled the last part, but I heard her clearly.

For a while, we all sat in silence. None of us were sure of what to really say in the situation now that we know the entire truth, and surely silence and alone time were what she needed. As I mentioned that it was fairly late in the afternoon and that we should give her time to herself, everyone gathered their things.

"Kyoya?" I heard her say my name lightly, and I turned around.

"Thank you for that. It was very heroic of you to come to my rescue… But, I don't want to be alone. Could you possibly stay for a bit longer? Just you, anyway?" I watched her eyes glaze over slightly tears still visible, but not to an extreme like earlier. I nodded in response and told everyone else to head home and that she had wanted to speak to me alone.

A/N: Way longer chapter than expected, and not a lot of dialogue until towards the end but over 5000 words in one day?! WOW! That's a big step for me, I haven't even written that much for college papers! And I don't think I could lol. Anyway, reviews are appreciated, and there will be some fluff in the next chapter if I can get it to work out the way that I want it to! Mainly, keeping it to Katelyn's POV, but every now and again, you may see someone else POV pop in, especially Kyoya's :D
