A/N: I usually put these at the end and I will but I just wanted to mention that the part in italics is all Ranka's flashback, without a further ado, chapter 11.
Haruhi and Ren decided to leave right after cleaning up the remains of breakfast, hoping to finish early and start preparing for dinner early. Ranka stared at Hiro in silence trying to memorize every detail of his face. It had been years since he had last seen him in person, of course he often requested Ren to send him pictures of them both often. But seeing him in person was completely different, having him there was still a shock to Ranka the pain of not having seen baby boy grow up was obviously there.
The more Ranka stared at Hiro's grown face the more the feeling of failure settled inside of him, tears welling up in his eyes started to flow freely his face as he reached for Hiro. Ranka apologized over and over again as he ran his hands over Hiro, apologizing for not being strong enough to stop his mother from separating their family. Hiro gave his father a sad smile not interrupting his father's apology knowing that he needed this to move past from what he had to do.
Rising from his chair he went towards his father and put his arms around the broken hearted man, whom despite everything that had happened in their life was still his hero. Ranka cried even harder as he wrapped his arms around his baby boy once again. Holding Hiro like this reminded Ranka of the tragic day it had all started, the day all of their lives went downhill and their family had started falling apart.
It was a typical spring day Ranka was home with the twins, but all day he had this forbidding feeling that he just couldn't shake off. Kotoko had laughed at him saying that he was just being silly; she was always the more logical of the two preferring facts over random feelings.
He had been cleaning the house like crazy trying to get rid of the feeling while the twins played quietly in their room with Ren. They really were perfect kids or maybe he was being biased of course he was their father well, father figure in Ren's case.
Suddenly the phone rand snapping him out of his daydream about the kids, as he took a step towards the phone that feeling came back tenfold trembling he reached for the phone and quietly answered, "Moshi, moshi Fujioka residence." Grabbing the closets chair he fell into it and paled even more as the voice on the other line of the phone kept talking.
As soon as he hung up the phone he sprang into action, yelling at the twins to put on their shoes and to pack a small bag they would be staying with Misuzu-chan the kids used to Ranka's eccentric ways simple obliged when he got like this. To be fair though they had never seen him this worked up before and that worried them a bit. As Ranka dropped them with Misuzu-chan he told them, "Please babies be good for Misuzu-chan go on ahead and play with Mei-chan, I'll be back soon."
As he watched the kids walk inside he turned towards Misuzu his voice and face solemn, "I'm not really sure what's wrong, they didn't give me much details over the phone. They only told me that Kotoko had fainted in the office and they couldn't get her to respond so they called the ambulance to take her to the hospital. They called me as soon as she got there and they rushed her to do some tests with my consent over the phone. I'm headed to the hospital I'll call as soon as I know something. Thank-you again for watching the kids on such short notice Misuzu, not really sure how long this will take but I'll keep you updated. If you need to reach me for anything the kids know my number and you can always try the hospital. "
Misuzu hadn't seen Ranka this stressed and upset since Kotoko was being stalked and was attacked before their marriage. Misuzu put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed, "Don't worry about it Ranka. The twins and Ren are always such angels when they're here with me and Mei loves having them over. Try to calm down Kotoko will be Okay you'll see. She's probably pregnant again I know you two are trying to give the twins a younger sibling. Take your time and let me know as soon as you get any information!"
Ranka smiled at the thought of a new baby and looked thankful and hopeful at his friend. Waving good-bye and promising to call as soon as possible he made his way to the hospital to see his beloved. Maybe Misuzu was right it probably wasn't a big deal Kotoko tended to overwork herself, either way he sped up to get to the hospital faster and make sure the love of his life was going to be alright.
A/N: Hello everyone I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review and let me know just what you think is going on. I would also like to apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors there might be. If anyone has questions don't be afraid to ask I'll answer them to the best of my ability
I deeply lament how long it took me to update, there is no valid excuse for making you guys wait and for that I am sorry.
This is where everything starts to turn; I had to cut the flashback in two parts turns out it's going to be longer than expected. I apologize for the heartbreak about the baby. I feel like with how much Ranka and Kotoko love each other and love the twins, they would be trying for another baby. Besides the twins would be about 4 or 5, old enough for a younger sibling either way I'm sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of my loves from OHSHC wish I did though, oh well I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, kisses!
