DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

When Haruhi walked into the room, she saw her son asleep in the bed. She smiled at the sight as she walked over and gently kissed his forehead.

"Glad that's all over with. Sorry I didn't get you to the hospital sooner," she said. Of course it was Kyoya who had gone and told her she had to take him there. Just then her son opened his eyes.

"Hi honey how are you feeling?" she asked. Kaito shrugged his shoulders.

"Well the doctors told me you're going to be just fine," said Haruhi. Kaito smiled at the thought. Then he looked down and saw his mother was still wearing the engagement ring.

"Mom?" he said pointing at it.

"Oh right this," said Haruhi.

"Are you going to accept it?" asked Kaito. Haruhi moaned.

"I don't know honey," she said, "I just want what's best for everyone."

"Well what's best is if you marry my son," said Mr. Ohtori walking into the room.

"Oh you again? Don't you ever give anyone peace?" asked Haruhi.

"I'm sorry I just wanted to make sure Kaito was doing all right," said Mr. Ohtori.

"Yeah right," said Haruhi, "Well anyway he's fine, and I'm sure that his real grandparents would want to see him."

She walked over to the door to head out to the hall to find them. To her surprise Mrs. Hitachiin was waiting there with them.

"Uh hi," she said to the group, "Kaito's awake if you want to go and see him."

"Oh thank you," said Mrs. Morinozuka as she and her husband hurried in. The Haninozukas also ran in. Mrs. Hitachiin however stayed in the hallway.

"Haruhi is it true Kyoya Ohtori asked you to marry him?" she asked.

"Yes," said Haruhi.

"And did you say yes?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Well no, not yet," said Haruhi.

"Are you going to say yes?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin, "I thought you've given up on men after Hikaru died!"

"I said I was probably going to, not that I have completely. I wasn't sure what I was going to do after he died. Even now I don't know what I want to do," said Haruhi.

"Well what do you feel about Kyoya?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"He's a nice guy. I like him a lot and the time I've been spending with him has been nice," said Haruhi.

"But why him of all people when there are a lot of other guys out there. Did you know Kaoru's finally coming back?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Oh is he?" said Haruhi, "That's nice to hear, but I don't see what that has to do with me marrying Kyoya."

"I'm just saying there's more fish in the sea," said Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Yeah and one that happens to look like my late husband," said Haruhi.

"But you know he's different in so many ways. You yourself can tell them apart no problem," said Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Granted, but it still could have been like I'm just marrying him to replace Hikaru," said Haruhi, "If I were to ever get in a serious relationship with Kaoru, I'd want it to be just for him and him alone," said Haruhi.

"So you're going to pick Kyoya?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"I'm not sure I am," said Haruhi.

When Sai walked into the kitchen she immediately saw Kyoya sitting at the table drinking some coffee. She sneered at him.

"What are you still doing here?" she asked.

"I'm waiting for you and your sister to get up so that I can take you back to the hospital to see your brother," said Kyoya.

"Is he okay?" she asked.

"Yes, Tadao called telling us that the surgery went well and your brother is recovering well," said Kyoya, "Now the sooner you eat and the sooner your sister gets up we can leave for the hospital."

Sai smirked.

"Why don't you go wake her up?" she asked.

"Oh don't think you can trick me that easily," said Kyoya, "I know your sister is just like her father and not one to be woken up with proper caution." Sai slumped.

"Now eat please," said Kyoya.

"I'm not hungry!" said Sai as she stormed out to the garden. Suddenly she came running back screaming.

"A flower bit me!" she shouted holding her hand in pain.

"Calm down, let me see," said Kyoya as he took her hand. "You just got stung by a bee by is all. You probably just scared it."

"I scared it?" said Sai.

"Yes bees only stung when they get scared. When a bee gets scared she may think she has to defend herself and sting someone," said Kyoya.

"Yeah but it still hurts!" said Sai.

"I bet it does. A bee sting does hurt," said Kyoya as he took the little girl to the bathroom and pulled out an ice pack. He gently placed it on her hand. Sai screamed again.

"That hurts too!" she said.

"I know but it's for the best dear," said Kyoya, "It'll be fine."

"What did you mean about the bee being a she?" asked Sai as her tears dried up.

"All worker bees are female," said Kyoya, "And they all serve one queen."

"Really?" said Sai.

"Yes, if you like after visiting your brother I can take you to a museum and show you some more. I heard one is holding a fascinating exhibit on bugs," said Kyoya.

"Could we?" asked Sai.

"We'll ask your mother when we go the hospital," said Kyoya.

"Sai, are you okay?" asked Ichiko running into the bathroom.

"She just got stung is all," said Kyoya.

"I scared a bee," said Sai. "Did you know all worker bees are female?"

"Yeah," said Ichiko.

"Kyoya said there's an exhibit on bugs at the museum and that's he's going to ask Mommy if we can go to it after we go see Kaito," said Sai. Ichiko looked at Kyoya. This was feeling sort of like the same way when Hikaru was trying them over.

'Maybe he does deserve a chance. I did like him when I was little. And he did get Kaito to the hospital when he needed it, and he's helping Sai here,' she thought.

"Well now that you're up Ichiko, would you like some breakfast so we can go see your brother?" asked Kyoya.

"Sure," said Ichiko.

"Hi Kaito," said the two girls when they ran into their brother's room.

"How are you feeling?" asked Ichiko.

"Okay," said Kaito. His grandparents had all left for the time being so it was just him, his mom and Tadao at the moment.

"That's great," said Sai running over to her mom, "Mommy can we go the museum to see the bug exhibit?"

"What?" asked Haruhi.

"Mr. Ohtori offered to take us to the museum to learn about bugs. A bee stung me and Mr. Ohtori was nice enough to help with that," said Sai.

"You got stung!" said Haruhi grabbing her daughter's hand.

"I got better Mommy. Well anyway he said he would take us to the museum to learn more about bugs if it was all right with you. Can we go can we?" asked Sai.

"You want to take me kids to the museum?" asked Haruhi.

"I figured it would help you focus more on your son," said Kyoya.

"Oh thank you," said Haruhi.

"And at the same time help you think about something else as well," said Kyoya looking back at Haruhi's hand with the ring.

Haruhi looked down at it then up at Kyoya.

"Can I have a moment alone with my kids?" she asked.

"Of course," said Kyoya as he walked out. Tadao followed.

"You know it's none of my business if she marries you or not," he said, "I have promised to stay by her side no matter what in honor of my late Master. So if she does decide to marry you, I will still stay, as well Yuu and Hayao. But the real thing that's bothering me is I don't want to see my mistress suffer again after loosing her first three husbands. I hope you can understand why I feel hesitant about her marrying again."

"You're a very genuine man Tadao. I have always admired that about you. I really do hope to never have to put Haruhi through pain again. I, I do really do love her," said Kyoya. Tadao raised an eyebrow.

"I didn't think you Ohtori were cable of even saying that word, let alone actually feeling it," he said.

"Well lets just say that this particular woman, you call your mistress was able to make me feel that," said Kyoya. Tadao smiled.

"If she does say yes, I will willingly call you Master," he said bowing.

"Thank you," said Kyoya.

"Kids I want you to be honest with me. What do you think about Mr. Ohtori?" asked Haruhi.

"He's okay," said Ichiko, "Kind of like Dada Hikaru when he was trying to marry you."

"Yeah," said Kaito.

"What about you Sai?" asked Haruhi.

"I don't know. He seems to be acing nice enough to me, but there are still some things about him I'm not sure what to feel about him," said Sai.

"What if you got to know him better?" asked Haruhi. The kids nodded, "Like say if we were to start planning a wedding?"

The kids all looked at each other.

"Momma do you really think you'll be happy with him?" asked Ichiko.

"I think I will be," said Haruhi, "But I want to make sure you three are happy too."

"Even if you say yes, could you still change your mind?" asked Sai.

"Of course," said Haruhi, "So how about we take a vote? All those who are okay with me marrying Kyoya raise your hands."

Kyoya and Tadao both turned to the door when they heard it open.

"Tadao, could you give us a minute?" asked Haruhi.

"Of course Madam," said Tadao walking into Kaito's room. She turned and looked at Kyoya.

"Well I talked to my kids, and then I let them vote," she said.

"And what did they vote on?" asked Kyoya.

"They voted yes to me marry you," said Haruhi, "So if you're still willing, I will marry you."

Kyoya smiled as he pulled Haruhi into a deep and passionate kiss.

Mrs. Hitachiin walked down the hallway towards Kaito's room with a big bouquet of flowers when she heard what sounded like Kyoya and Haruhi talking. As she drew nearer, she could see the two of them and heard Haruhi say, "So if you're willing, I will marry you." She watched as Kyoya then pulled her into a kiss. She turned around mad and headed back to her car.

"Madam, you didn't give the flowers to Kaito," said her driver.

"Yes well I'll have to come back later to give them to her," said Mrs. Hitachiin, "Right now I have some phone calls to make!"

"To your son?" asked her driver.

"Yes him, but there's something else I need to do. I think it's about time I really looked into not only my other son's death but the death of the Haninozuka and Morinozuka men as well," said Mrs. Hitachiin.

"And what do you think you'll get with this information Madam?" asked her driver.

"Revenge," said Mrs. Hitachiin, "I'll finally be able to seek revenge for my son's death!"

Little did the know a doctor had been listening in on their conversation. The doctor opened up a cellphone. "Mr. Ohtori. She's on to us."
