Haruhi loved the club but was glad to be home. She laid Kyami in her crib and gently ran her fingers through the sleeping child's hair. She thought about calling Kyoya to check in, but after a moment of holding her cell phone in her hands,she placed it back on the coffee table.

"Hey, how was school today?" Ranka asked lowering himself down next to his daughter. Haruhi turned her head to face him.

"School was had a test today so Kyami got to stay with Honey and Mori until lunch." She smiled suddenly at the thought.

"Whatever they were up to, she thought it was the funniest thing in the world."

"Well, your boys are good at figuring out what she needs. He has a little brother doesn't he, he's had to learn something from that experience."

"Yeah, I guess so." Haruhi replied.

"So what's got you so down?"

"Nothing, it's not -"

"I know you better than that Haruhi. Talk to me,I know I'm not as easy to talk to as your mother was,but I'm here for you."

"It's just that-Kyoya's dad found out about Kyoya taking care of her and he didn't like it because she's not his daughter he'll be getting out of school soon, he wants him to focus on...other things." Ranka nodded in understanding.

"So Kyoya decided to side with him, Haruhi-"

"No. He refused him, he told his dad Kyami was his daughter and it wasn't for his father to decide. It's not something I wanted to do. To put so much strain on his family -"

"Haruhi, it's Kyoya's choice, he offered his help, you didn't ask. That's not your fault."

"It feels like it,if I hadn't made such a big deal about wanting to-"

"It doesn't work that way kiddo. You don't get to blame yourself for other peoples' problems. Kyoya obviously loves you both so much he's willing to do everything he can for your and that precious little girl. If things go bad,well then he can stay here for a while. It's partly his house anyway."

"Yeah,but can you imagine going through something like that?"

"No. Basically he adopted Kyami, and that's a wonderful thing. I'd be proud of him. Sure he's a bit young but it's not like it's unheard of for kids your age and up to...have families, I'm not really condoning it, but most fathers in high school don't look after the baby. For Kyoya and the rest of those boys to have done that is amazing. I can understand being upset by it. Ar the end of the day,he-' a knock on the door interrupted the conversation.

"I'll get it." Haruhi said pushing herself off the couch and walking to the door. She pulled it open and wasn't surprised by what she found.

"Kyoya, are you okay?" The older host nodded.

"Good evening Haruhi." He greeted. He looked as if he had walked the entire way and shivered in the cold. She stepped aside.

"Come sit down, do you want some coffee?" She asked closing the door behind him.

"That would be wonderful, thank you." He said following her into the living room.

"Hello Ranka, it's nice to see you again." He said with a polite smile.

"Kyoya, come in and have a seat, make yourself at home." Ranka gestured to the chair beside the couch.

"Thank you." He said lowering himself down onto it. A long silence passed before anyone spoke more than a thank you to Haruhi for the coffee.

"What brings you out our way?" Ranka asked sipping from his cup.

"I was out for a walk and thought I'd stop in for a while." Kyoya replied.

"Well, we're glad to have you here, are you planning to stay for a while and spend some time with Kyami?"

"I'd like that. I won't stay too long, I have-"

"Why don't you stay for dinner tonight, things are good at work and I had some extra money,we can go somewhere or have it delivered,my treat."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. I just wanted to see-"

"I insist. You've done so much for my Haruhi and Kyami, let me do something for you."

"Honestly, I'm fine, I'm guessing Haruhi told you about my situation. You don't have to worry, my father will either get over or i will, either way, my decision stands and it's not your fault Haruhi, I promise you. You're not obligated to -"

"We want to. Just hang around for a while, stay as long as you want. Our home is your home."

"Maybe just for a few hours."

"Great, Kyami's going to be happy to see you when she wakes up." Haruhi beamed causing Kyoya to smile. "She loves her daddy Kyoya."

"I love her too. Thank you for sharing her with us." Haruhi gave him a hug.

"Thank you for letting her stay with me, I would've had to give her up without you guys. I'm glad you let me share her." Ranka made his way over and patted the young boy on the shoulder.

"It's not the same,and I know that but I want you to know that..I'm proud of you Kyoya " he said.

"All of us are." Haruhi added. The little host had a way of making things brighter, even though she was too young to know it. Without Kyami, Kyoya knew everything would wor out as long as he had the host club, his family.
