Author's Notes: The end of the year has been a bit of pain, so sorry I haven't updated as fast! Thanks for waiting! Slight HikaHaru in this, to the request of KinKitsune01! Please review!

Ranka hadn't asked again about the paternity of Haruhi's child after the night. She had stayed in the bathroom and passed out when he checked on her after putting out dinner. Her face looked so pale. Ranka sighed and swooped his darling daughter into his arms and carried her back to the bed. He knew she didn't need his anger or animosity towards whoever was the father. She just needed support.

Going to the shrine devoted to his wife, he sat in front of it and sighed, lighting a candle.

"Darling, our baby's going to have a baby. What am I going to do?"

Her picture only smiled back at him as he sighed.

"Yeah, I know. I need to be strong for her. I know she's going to try and get through this by herself like she does with everything else, but I don't know if Haruhi can go by her own."

He thought for a second.

"No...she won't be on her own." The smiles of the boys of the Host Club flashed in his head. He smiled softly and silently prayed that it was Kyouya's child.

Her alarm clock buzzed irritatingly as she slammed her hand on top, shutting up the vile little machine. Haruhi's head felt like someone filled it with water, clouded and heavy. Sitting up took effort.

As soon as she was upright, her body begged to go back down, sending waves of intense pain to her head, almost to the point of tears. She had never had migranes this bad before.

Working through the pain, she managed to get out of bed and shower, not wanting anything for breakfast. Ranka didn't say much, only gave her a soft hug before saying goodbye when she went to school.

Paranoia overtook her at school. She could swear the girls could tell she was knocked up. Her own mind felt the eyes just glaring down at her. Her nerves were going crazy. Twice she had to excuse herself to vomit.

The day seemed like it would never end as the young girl walked down to the Third Music Room. She wished she could simply go home and sleep, but her debt to the boys still remained.

The boys. God. Her head throbbed even moreso.

The sign on the door stating "Members Only Meeting" confused her a tad, but she opened the door either way.

A spiral of rose petals revealed various objects, including a massage chair, blankets and large pillows, a table set up with certain foods and books upon books on pregnancy.

"Welcome!' They boys rang out, closing the door behind her.

"Haruhi, we have devoted our time and presense to make your pregnancy as easy and healthy as possible!" Tamaki nuzzled her cheek as she stared blankly.

"Um, what?"

"Seeing as you are not the SOLE bearer of responsibility, " The way Kyouya said it made her twitch. "We have taken the time and money to help you during this time. Be appriciative."

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan!" Honey pulled at her arm. "Come see all the new stuffed toys we got for the baby!" He smiled even brighter than usual.

The twins, or rather Kaoru, pulled her other arm. "No, come see, our mother designed new fabulous baby clothes."

The room was far too loud and everything magnified in her aching head. Her migrane intensified beyond belief.

"Stop it!" She pulled her arms out of their grip and looked at Kyouya. "I didn't ask for your help! Fucking bastards, do you really think I'm that weak that I need your 'charity' to take care of myself?"

They looked at her suprised. Even Kyouya stopped scribbling in his notebook.

"None of you even know who's it is, so why do you give a shit? I don't need your help, especially from a pretentious bastard like you." She directed that comment straight at Kyouya, who seemed a bit taken back.

She left the room and slammed the large door behind her, walking a few steps before leaning against the wall, feeling completely overwhelmed. She hated how emotional this was making her. She knew they had good intentions. Well, maybe not Kyouya, but the rest of them did. Her head hurt incredibly and she wanted nothing but to sleep.

"Hey." She looked up and recognized the older Hitachiin twin, feet shifting uncomfortably. "You ok?"

"Yeah...this whole thing is driving me crazy. I just...didn't expect this." She stood up straight.

Hikaru gave an awkward smile. "Heh, I don't think any of us."

"Well, half of this was your doing..." She glared a tiny bit as he bit his lip.

"Yeah definitely my bad..." He looked at her. "But..."

Haruhi took in the face of the older twin. He seemed to be inwardly fighting himself.

"I just...wanted to tell you, no matter what happens, I'm..." He was blushing now. "I still wanna help you. I don't think you're weak, but...I don't want you to go through something this hardcore alone, ya know?"

It was hard for him. She could see it. Knowing he was putting himself out there for her made the pain fade a little and a smile return to her face. She gave a small squeak when he pulled her close, holding her lightly as his face was as red as his hair.

"Haruhi...I don't know how to be a dad, but if it is mine...I wanna be the best I can." His heart was racing.

Haruhi looked up at him for a second before hugging him back. He felt warm. She wondered if Kaoru liked his warmth as much as she did right now...

It took a minute before Hikaru opened his eyes, feeling her go a bit limp. When he looked at her face, he realized she had fallen asleep on her feet. He gave a small chuckle as she pulled her up in his arms.

When the doors opened again, they looked at him.

"I think our little flower needs a nap." Hikaru said as he carried her in and placed her on the bed they had set up for her. They all took in the sight of her sleeping and felt a little more at peace. As stubborn as she was, they would be there for her, no matter what.
