A/N: Hi everyone! :) This is the last chapter for this story and I was ready to post it last night when I thought of including a epilogue-ish ending which I could lead into a spin off if that's something any of you would want to read. It's definitely something I would enjoy writing, but it's up to you guys to review and tell me that yo want it published!

But I've had a hard couple weeks, especially this last one. Before I tell the short story, I should probably explain that little Daniel is based off me. I have a hand like Daniel's and i too was born with it. I wasn't abandoned because of it like Daniel, though. But I told this girl I thought I was growing closer to that i would probably write my college essay on my hand because it made me the strong girl I am today. But she then really insulted me by telling me that "It's not that big of a part of you, anyway." I don't know if I was just overreacting, but saying that something that has created so many obstacles and insecurities in my life that I've overcome is something that 'isn't a big deal'? That just pissed me off and later made me cry.

But I honestly like that Daniel and the story in general has gotten so much love from you guys as I've gone through the story.

Chapter 12:

~ Haruhi's Pov ~

'This is getting annoying...' I thought as I sat in the living room staring at the lite up laptop with numbers and code scattered across it. It was two days after Daniel and Kota arrived. Daniel was still upstairs asleep in Kyoya and our room as far as I knew while I've been down in the living room for a few hours learning new things about the major system. I wanted to both surprise and show-up Kyoya, I now know 10 more digits of pi then I knew the day before and that would be 3 more than Kyoya knows.

I decided that it was late enough in the day to go get some breakfast, but when I heard what sounded like Tamaki laughing. I peeked around the corner to see Hikaru in Tamaki's lap making out while Kaoru was sitting across from them awkwardly while Kyoya seemed to be ignoring them as he played with his tablet with a frustrated face. I had a feeling that walking in right now would be a bad idea, so I sat on the floor just outside the open door and continued thinking about pi. 'Pi is 3.14159... then nachos limping in lava... that translates to 26-53-58 then pigs bombing gnomes... is that 97-93-23?' I rubbed my forehead in frustration, 'Of course it is. Now, fairies shi-'

"Don't look so jealous Kyoya, wrinkles aren't attractive," Hikaru snickered, interrupting my train-of-thought.

I peeked around again when I heard Hikaru groan as Tamaki nuzzling the side of his neck. 'Oh, so he's okay with showing affection with him but not when Kyoya and he were together? Are they trying to get him to react?'

I looked over to Kaoru to see him watching the interaction with a blush. 'If I didn't have Kyoya, he would be the perfect submissive...'

"Don't talk him, might catch whatever Kyoya got from that manwhore of his," Tamaki laughed as he ran a hand through Hikaru's hair.

Kyoya slammed the tablet on the table before he stood up, leaning over the table and effectively making the two boys jump in fear. "Say what you have to say about me. But do not insult my master ever again. You hear me?"

Silence fell over the room inside and I as it set into each of us what he exactly said. I was honestly proud that he was able to say it out loud to someone, but I felt this was probably not the best time to announce it to those three.

"What do you mean your 'master'? Is that supposed be a joke or are you just that sick in the head?" Hikaru stood up a little shaky, but still gained the confidence to get in Kyoya face. I smiled as I saw Kaoru fidgeting in the corner of my eye, not sure what to do.

"M-Maybe we should all just calm down now? Yeah?" I watched as he looked between Kyoya and his brother and he started to shake in fear of the result, as neither of the boys turn to answer him.

"You're right, Kaoru. Everyone should probably take a breather. Hikaru and you should go hang out on the beach while I have a word with Kyoya."

"But Tamaki-"

"Hikaru!" Tamaki snapped and Hikaru flinched before they shared a look. Hikaru suddenly smiled and nodding before grabbing his brother's arm, pulling him behind him. I quickly drew my legs to my stomach, hoping i wouldn't be noticed. Luckily, they were too distracted to look around and they passed by me quickly. I stood up and pressed against the wall so I would be ready for anything Tamaki might try to pull.

"So, Kyoya. You moved on very quickly, I see," I heard Tamaki say. I didn't know if Kyoya responded or not but I heard a small chuckle come from Tamaki that was starting to grow louder. "First a son i don't know about and now you're someone's bitch?"

I heard the resonating sound of a hand meeting flesh and not knowing who hit who, I whipped around, ready to defend Kyoya. What I saw made me both scared and happy all in one. My eyes were met with Kyoya's hand still raised as a red mark was forming on Tamaki's face.

I was just about to grabbed Tamaki when all of a sudden, "You bitch!" He screamed as he pushed Kyoya into the wall, holding him there by his neck. I saw something catch the light and I watched as Tamaki reached his hand and grabbed what I realized too late was a knife.

I stepped forward only to have Tamaki stop me quickly, "Take another step closer, my disowned daughter, and Mommy won't be taking another one out of this room."

~ Kyoya's Pov ~

I felt as he raised the knife to my face, letting go of my neck and instead placed the hand on my chest to effectively keep me here. Like that was the only thing that was stopping me from trying to get away...

"You know, Kyoya, we could have lived happily ever after if you just let me love you," he grazed the back of the knife against my cheek without drawing blood as I pressed my head as far away as I could with the wall behind me.

"That's not true, Tamaki and you know it!" Master barked.

Tamaki had a Cheshire grin before turning his head slightly to my master while keeping me still in his sight. "What do you know about love, oh-so-wise Haruhi? As far as I know, you blackmailed my Kyoya into being some sort of slave to you. Isn't that right, Kyoya? He was just going to use and abuse you for fun, wasn't he?"

'I know a good part of what he's saying is false in the back of my mind. But he was just going to blackmail me to do what he wanted... I could never compare him to Tamaki, but did he really ever love me, or was it a game like it was to everyone else in my life?'

"That's not true, Kyoya! Don't believe him." my master pleaded.

"Prove it, then," I mumbled. Tamaki slid the edge of the knife over my cheek sharply and I yelped. I heard my master gasp at the sound.

"You know how I feel about the mumbling. It's very annoying! I'm just teasing, you're adorable!" Tamaki reprimanded as he tapped my chin with the now bloody knife, "Now speak up so Haruhi dear can here you."

"How do I know you haven't been lying to be this whole time?" I stammered out.

My master let out an exasperated sigh before speaking, "How do you know if I was lying about loving you? Do you think I would have taken you in that day you ran to my house after that monster hurt you?" He pointed to Tamaki, "Do you really think I'm that heartless?" He broke into a sob, "Do think that I don't love Daniel either? You and Daniel have become my whole world and I'll admit, in the beginning, I was going to just use you for personal gain."

"See? This is why you shouldn't leave the one who would have protected you from such a sicko," Tamaki interrupted.

"Past tense," my Master continued loudly. "I was going to do that until you showed up at my house that morning. You were crying and hurt... it drew feelings from me that i filed away a long time ago. You gave me something to care for, someone to take care of. I love you, Kyoya and I'll keep repeating it until you finally leave me," He looked me straight in the eye.

"I won't ever leave you, Master," I cried out.

Tamaki slapped me across the face as he let go of me. He started to back away from me before he suddenly turned around, stabbing me in the leg. He laughed as i cried out at the pain as my master rushed over to me. He propped me up so I was sitting against the wall as he examined my leg before removing his shirt and ripping it apart. He used the ripped part to apply pressure to the wound. "Please don't die on me, Kyo," he begged in a whisper.

"You're such a fucking wimp, Kyoya. How could I ever love a man like you? Hikaru isn't such a pussy. I could beat him to near death and he'd still be asking for more. That's why he's so devoted to me and that's why I was easily able to convince him to sacrifice his own brother if this went all wrong."

"He's not a pussy for being my submissive or uke. Being submissive doesn't mean he's any more weaker or insignificant than I am. It just means that he has the admiring courage to willing submit to someone else. But how does Kaoru come into this?" My master snarled.

Tamaki looked confused for a minute before he grinned, "Oh! This is perfect. Absolutely perfect."

"Care to explain, idiot?" My master questioned and if I could laugh right now, I would.

"We thought Kaoru would have told you by now that Hikaru and I's first plan to kill you went wrong because you surprised us, Haruhi. We weren't expecting you to be able to overtake those guys on the cliff. Sorry we failed!" Tamaki explained as he walked over to lock the door.

My master snarled and started to get up to go at Tamaki but I grabbed his arm, "He's not worth it, Master."

I sighed and Tamaki smiled, "That's right, Haruhi. Listen to the weakling." He reached into another one of his pockets and grabbed his phone as he walked towards us. "I'm going to call Hikaru now to let him know he can bring Kaoru in now. Be silent if you know what's good for you." He set the knife directly over my neck, ready to slit it at the moment's notice.

Tamaki put the phone on speaker phone and it rang three times before Hikaru picked up.

"Hello," Hikaru said hesitatingly.

"Are you ready with Kaoru?" Tamaki asked.

"Yes, let me just turn off Lilo and Stitch and I'll be there soon." I saw my master grin to himself and turn to look at me. His look almost said something like, "We're going to be all right now." But what could Lilo and Stitch mean?

"L-Lilo and Stitch? Why does it matter what you're watching? Just get your ass down here!" Tamaki commanded.

"Sorry, just thought you might want to know what my fa-favorite movie was..."

He suddenly hung up and Tamaki cursed. "Stupid fucking bastard."

A good ten minutes had passed before the door someone knocked on the door twice. Just as Tamaki touched the door knob, the door was kicked in, sending Tamaki flying into the opposite wall.

Mori-senpai walked in with Kaoru in his arms as Hikaru was thrown into the room. Kota walked in next; dusting off his hands from what I'm assuming was Hikaru's dirtiness. Kota looked around the room until he spotted us and rushed over. He and my master shared a look with one another before he spoke, "Takashi, can you watch over Kyoya for us?" I saw as Mori-senpai nodded as Haruhi and he switched places.

"Will they be okay, Mori-senpai?" I whispered.

"Kota and Haruhi, yes. Tamaki and Hikaru, no," he smiled.

"Where's Daniel?" I asked, suddenly remembering him still being in the house and scared he could have possibly been in danger.

"Mitsukuni."

I quickly relaxed after hearing that and focus more on what was going on around me.

"-You threatened Kyoya and now Haruhi two times to many," Kota punched already bruised Tamaki. Haruhi stood aside and watched as Tamaki was continually beaten to a pulp before Kota finally dropped Tamaki. Haruhi bent down and whispered to a cowering Tamaki something I couldn't hear before Tamaki's eyes roamed to mine. They held all the misery and pain he inflicted on me and I had to look away before I started to actually pity him.

Kota made his way to Hikaru, who was trying to crawl away, and picked him up by his shirt before setting him standing in front of him. "I think that you thought you were doing some good by wanting to follow Tamaki and do his bidding, but you weren't. You only hurt yourself and your own brother in the process. How does that make you feel, knowing that at this point, you could never see your own brother after this?"

Hikaru scoffed, "I don't care what any of you think, especially him. All he did was live in my shadow and I hate it. I hated him! I wanted to be my own person for so long and he just kept holding me back because he was ''scared' and 'wasn't ready'. I came to resent him and when Tamaki finally dropped that pussy of a man, Kyoya, I felt it was my chance to be me."

"That's great and all, but that doesn't justify that you agree to letting my best friend and his boyfriend almost die."

"I'm sorry, okay?" Hikaru rolled his eyes.

"I don't think 'sorry' is good enough," Kota said.

Without warning, I saw in slow moment as Tamaki leaped up with his knife and ran towards Kota. Kota turned, hitting the knife out of his hand and they began to fight hand-to-hand.

Almost too late, I saw as Hikaru drew a gun out from under his shirt. "Kota," I screamed just as the gun went off.

Daniel's Pov

It had been three hours since Mitsu and I had heard the gun shot, sirens coming and going from the house and Mitsu still wouldn't let me go down stairs. He didn't want me to anything mean that happened down there. I think he was a little scared too and that's why he hasn't moved from hisposition since he grabbed me into his arms at the time of the shot.

What he didn't, couldn't understand was that I'd seen worse than a gunshot wound. My mother, Jess, was a police officer whom was a horrible mother who would take me on jobs with her. She would have me in a baby carrier while she went through some of the most gruesome scenes. I would have been able to handle seeing someone got shot... Unless it was Mommy Haruhi or Daddy Kwoya.

Fear went through my tiny body at the thought of losing either of them. 'Not again,' I thought.

Just then, my stomach growled loudly which ignited Mitsu's. It broke him out of his trance enough to giggle with me. "Are you hungry, little one," Mitsu asked, rubbing a comforting hand through my hair.

"Who are you calling 'little one', small fry."

"Small fry?! I don't even like fries! Plus I'm four inches taller than you, so ha!" That only made us start giggling again before calming down once again, "I don't know if we should go down there just yet..."

I crossed my arms in response and stomped my foot, knowing I was acting childish and he was just trying to look out for me, but I didn't care. 'I have a right to act like a child, I am one!'

Mitsu's phone went off, making us jump. He unlocked it quickly before reading over what I assumed was a text. "No..." He whispered, throwing the phone at the wall as I heard it crack. I watched as he covering his mouth before glancing up at me with guilty eyes...

~ Haruhi's Pov ~

'You can't cry... control it now while you're alone. You have to be strong for Daniel and Mitsukuni...' I thought as tears were starting to form again at one red light on my way from the hospital to the beach house to pick Mitsu and Daniel up.

Once I reached there, I texted Mitsu so they could head out to the car. When i didn't get a reply after a few minutes. I went into the house to investigate. "Mitsukuni! Daniel!" I didn't hear a reply, so my best guess was that they were still in Kyoya and I's room. I headed in that direction and before long; I came face to face with a crying Mitsukuni and Daniel.

"Mitsu...!" I heard Daniel whine, "I told you Mommy Haruhi sent you a text but I can't read it!" He stomped his foot while crossing his arms like he was mad at the world.

"Take it easy on him, Daniel. He's going through a lot of emotions right now." Both their heads shot up and Mitsu came running towards me and hugged my waist. I rubbed his back before actually picking him up in my arms.

Daniel looked up to Mitsukuni in jealousy before i scolded him, "I'll pick you up later, Mitsukuni needs more comfort than you right now and that's okay. We all have those times when we each need more affection from others." Mitsukuni took the time to settle his head into the crock of my neck and by the time I made it down the stairs; I could tell it was starting to lull him to sleep.

"Please tell me he's okay. I'll feel guilty if he isn't." he whispered to me.

"He will be in time, Mitsukuni. Right now, he just needs our support."

He nodded and curled up in the back seat with Daniel.

At the Hospital

Once we found a parking spot, the three of us rushed in the hospital doors and walked over to the desk quickly.

The woman at the desk gave me a small glance before sighing, "Yes?" She asked in a nasally voice and i shuddered at the sound.

"Kyoya Ootori," I asked monotonously even though I wanted to break down right now.

"I'm sorry, sir. I can't release any information on that patient," the lady answered without looking at me.

I understood why she couldn't tell me when she didn't even know who i am, but this was ridiculous. 'I was just here twenty minutes ago!'

"I'm a family member, Miss, so I'm privy to the information."

She rolled her eyes at me before speaking, "Name."

"Haruhi Fujioka."

She started typing and clicking buttons before she finally stopped, "I'm very sorry, sir, but you're not on his medical contact list so I must ask you to leave and stop persisting."

"I'm his fiancé, so I'm not on his medical list just yet."

She looked at me wearily before scoffing, "An Ootori wouldn't, no, can't be gay so I'll ask again, please-"

"That's enough, Shannon, let them through." We turned around to be met with a younger looking Yoshio Ootori. This must be the oldest son, Yuuichi. He was wearing a white lab coat and he had the Ootori black hair and black-rimmed glasses. Behind him came a woman in high heels that clacked every time she took a step.

"B-But sir-" the desk lady stammered.

"Just get back to work before I get you fired by my father," he waved her off as she quickly got back to work in the fear of losing her job. He finally turned to us and gave me a small smile.

"I've heard a lot of good things about you, Mr. Fujioka. I'm Yuuichi Ootori." he offered a hand to me.

I stepped forward and just as i was about to accepted it, Yuuichi was pushed out of the way swiftly and my hand was taken by the woman before she pulled me against her in a hug. "I'm Fuyumi, Kyoya's sister, but you can call me your sister-in-law!"

"Nice to meet you both, but it would have been nicer if it wasn't under these circumstances and things in the past with your family didn't happen. After you guys disowned Kyoya, we hardly gave you guys a backwards glace."

Fuyumi's smile lessened before she answered me, "I can promise you I didn't have too much to do with that. As soon as I heard that my father and Akito did that, I felt ashamed to call them my family. Yuuichi tried all he could without being disowned himself, so don't be so hard on him."

I sighed and nodded, believing her. Fuyumi turned to Mitsukuni and Daniel behind me and squealed. "Oh! He's so cute! Can I keep him?!" She picked Daniel up into her arms as we walked down the hallway.

I giggled, "I think your brother would be upset with you if you took our son from us."

"Your son?" Fuyumi and Yuuichi questioned.

"It's a long and weird story that we don't have the time for," I said as we reached his room. I pushed open the door and steeled the tears that wanted to form. I looked to see my Kyoya lay there asleep after his surgery on his wounded leg. Luckily, he will be able to walk as Tamaki just barely missed a major artery, but for now he would need to use crutches and eventually a cane if he still felt pain after the first few months. 'He almost didn't make it... the internal bleeding was almost too much...'

I looked over to the bed beside him and squeezed my hand into a fist. Takashi was lying in the next bed with a mask over his face to regulate his breathing with Kota sat in a chair next to him, holding his hand and resting his head next to Takashi's side with his eyes open.

Hikaru meant to shoot Kyoya, but Takashi moved in front of him, knowing I would have been devastated and with that, Kota would be moody by default. That and the rate of Kyoya making it if he was injured once again was highly unlikely.

I heard Mitsukuni cry out behind me before i saw him run past me to Takashi. Kota shot up and grabbed Mitsukuni into his arms just before Mitsukuni could jump on the hospital bed. Mitsukuni fought back similarly to the way Daniel once fought me. Once he finally gave up, he hugged Kota tight to him as Kota sunk the floor next to the floor.

I walked over to the chair beside Kyoya's bed and once was settled; I turned to see Fuyumi and Yuuichi standing the doorway, still watching everything. Daniel was still in Fuyumi's arms before he started to squirm and Fuyumi set him down as he ran over to me and pulled at my pant leg as he climbed up into my lap.

"How, Mommy?" Daniel asked, tears starting to form in his eyes.

"What Daniel?"

"How can someone be so mean to Daddy Kwoya?" He sniffled as he looked over to Kyoya before cuddling into my side, "I mean, he's a really nice boy isn't he? Daddy Kwoya could never be mean to anybody, right Mommy?I don't want to see Daddy Kwoya or you hurt ever again, Mommy..." He sniffled.

"Fuck! He's so cute, Haruhi. Can't I just keep him? I'll give you my first-born in exchange..." Fuyumi tried to bribe me, which made Daniel, Yuuichi, and I grin.

"Mommy, what does 'fuck' mean?" Daniel asked innocently, though his eyes told another story.

"It means that your aunt doesn't know how to talk around children," a voice behind us mumbled. We turn to see Kyoya was awake and glaring at his sister.

"Daddy!" Daniel yelled, jumping from my lap to Kyoya's hospital bed, just missing his leg...

"Ugh!" Kyoya groaned, "Daniel, be careful. Daddy's in the hospital, you know."

"Sorry, Kwoya," Daniel apologized as he laid his head on his chest, giving him a big hug.

Kyoya looked up from Daniel to me and gave me a small smile before moving his body over in the bed, being careful of both his leg and Daniel. He patted part of the bed next to him hesitantly, almost like he wasn't sure if I would want to sit with him. I gave him a reassuring smile before shimmying onto the bed while still giving him room. He looked at me, eyes shining bright until they suddenly moved from my eyes, to my lips for a moment, and then over to the door before flittering back to my eyes. They now held a nervous hint in them and nodded to him, letting him silently know it was okay. He glanced back over to his siblings before focusing his eyes back on mine with a steel look in them. He bent forward and gave me a sweet kiss, nothing to platonic or innocent while it not feeling like we were putting on a show. When he pulled back, he let out a wistful sigh before he moved to lay his head on my chest. I wrapped an arm around his back with a sigh and smile of my own as Daniel settled himself so he was lying across both our bodies.

I saw as Mitsukuni walked over to the side of the bed with both a confused and an angry expression on his face. "Where's Kaoru, Hikaru, and Tamaki?"

I felt Kyoya tense in my arms before he relaxed, most likely trying not the show that he was bothered by what happened. I reached a hand down to one of his, giving it a gentle squeeze of support.

"I asked Kaoru to go down with the chief of the police to the station so he could file everything we needed him to against Hikaru and Tamaki."

Mitsukuni studied my face, probably trying to figure out if I was telling the truth that Kaoru wasn't in on it as well, before nodding and walking back over to Takashi.

~ Kyoya's Pov ~

I felt as my master moved under me before he spoke, "Fuyumi? Could you take Daniel on a walk around the hospital with Yuuichi? That is, if you're not busy, Yuuichi. I just need to talk to Kyoya about something alone."

"Not at all, Haruhi. We'd be glad to take little Danny on a walk," Fuyumi interjected before our brother had a chance to reply. She quickly grabbed Daniel before exiting the room, almost dragging Yuuichi behind before he stopped her, walking over to Kyoya's side of the bed.

"I just wanted to let you know that I'll be here for you, brother, and that neither I nor Fuyumi had anything to do with Father's decision." He reached out a hand and ruffled Kyoya's hair, "Now I'll leave you and fiancé to talk." He followed behind an impatient Fuyumi out the room's door.

Once the room was empty, except for Kota and Hunny-senpai on the other side of the room, i leaned my body up so i could look at my master and give him my full attention. He seemed to be hesitating on whatever he was planning to say as stared down at our intertwined hands.

"So, i have fiancé, huh?" I blushed at the word 'fiancé', embarrassed that I believed any word Yuuichi was saying, much less that.

My master sighed before grinning at me while he replied, "I guess I didn't ask in the best way, huh?"

"No! No, the way you asked was perfect!" I objected, afraid that I was hurting his feelings or pride.

"No, Kyoya," he reached a hand up to my smooth cheek as he continued, "You deserve a better proposal than that. I just...I didn't know what to say that I didn't already say back at the beach house. I love you, Kyoya, and that's all I know right now. I would for you to be my husband, even if we don't get married today or twenty years from now. I'll be happy with however much time you'll give me with you."

"Why would you want to spend your life with someone so broken, so...damaged," I started to reach my hand up to the opposite cheek but my hand was quickly snatched away and intertwined with my master's.

"I would think you would know by now that i love you, scars and all," he reached his own hand to brush the cheek, avoiding the cut we both knew would end up scarring.

I could no longer see the pure love in his eyes as my own started to blur with the happy tears that were flowing down my cheeks. I felt as the pads of his thumbs wipe away the tears under my eyes.

"Would that mean you're no longer my master, Master?" I asked, my voice faltering when I tried to sound hopeful for the change. 'Face it,' I thought to myself, 'you love the control that title gives him over you.'

He must have heard in my voice as he smirked, "Make that decision when you say yes, because I'm going make sure you stick to it. At least, I hope you're going to say yes..." He drifted off, waiting for my answer.

"I'm saying yes, Master," I replied shyly.

"I'll let you pick out an engagement ring when you're up and moving then," he murmured as he leaned forward, giving me a sweet peck on the lips. He pulled at the bottom of my lip and I just let his tongue gain entrance to my mouth when all of a sudden, something started going off in the room. We quickly jumped apart and turned around, realizing it was Mori-senpai's heart monitor. My master leaped up to alert some doctors down the hall along with my siblings and Daniel and a good five doctors were suddenly rushing in and started doing all kinds of things and tests on Mori-senpai before the noise settled down.

The doctors were exiting just as swiftly as they came in before Kota stopped one by the lab coat sleeve. "Are you going to tell us what the hell happened?! I'd like to know that if that happened again, what was causing so I could possibly avoid almost having a heart attack a long with him!"

"Sir, please calm down," The doctor pleaded as he tried to yank his sleeve out of his hands, "He must have just heard something surprising, there was nothing you could 'prevent' exactly."

Haruhi and I exchanged guilty glances as Kota and Hunny-senpai tried to figure out what he could have possibly heard that would have been surprising to him in what seemed to them to be a quiet room.

"Is he really okay?" I whispered to my master next to me as i looked over to Mori-senpai's bed. Both Kota and Hunny-senpai were moving about around Mori-senpai, trying to make him as comfortable as could be. Daniel just then crawled up onto the bed with us and nestled in-between our sides.

"He's going to be just fine, I think," my master gave me a small smiled as he intertwined our hands; 'He has Kota and Mitsukuni to look after him after all."

'I guess Takashi and I found our own little families after all...' I thought as I fell into content conversation with to my new fiancé and son.


Four Years Later: Daniel's Pov

I watched as my Dad walked halfway down the aisle with Aunt Fuyumi to be handed off to Mom, who walked him down the rest of the isle to the altar. As much as Mom joked with Dad that it would have been hilarious if he went with the a little bit of the traditional bride look and wore a small veil, but alas, it was a no go.

By now, with me turning ten in a month or so, I knew how my mom and dad's relationship worked and I couldn't be more proud to call them my parents. It seemed in the beginning for my Dad, especially after the relationship was just between them two after Tamaki got was coming to him, it was difficult to bend his mind that what my mom wanted was what should go. That is, unless it's a safety hazard or it's something that makes dad highly uncomfortable. Then he has to use this thing called a 'safeword' or something. Then mom lets him off the hook for that time being. With Tamaki not around to instill fear or hurt into my dad, things were more normal around the house. Dad got better quickly and we were able to leave that dry hospital quicker than mom and dad were expecting.

Mom and dad then soon finished high school and the three of us moved to America so mom and dad could go to the same college while still being around and raising me. I was surprised that they lasted not being married this long as sickly in love as they were, but they both wanted to make sure they were settled in at college and that they could live with one another in the real world with no maids or cooks. They decide three months ago that they were finally ready and here we are now.

Dad had been going to college for business along with a PhD in children's medicine, wanting to run his own hospital for children in need of help. He even once told me that one wing could even be an adoption agency for children who had gone through abusive parenting or a traumatic experience with no home to go back to. He would never tell me, but I think he was inspired after mom and dad found me.

Mom was going for his degree in law as well as business, wanting to support and help dad the best he could. He wanted to become a lawyer in family court so he could make sure the child was getting the best treatment in sometimes to hardest divorces or break ups.

I glanced behind me to Uncle Kota, dad's best friend as well as best man and Aunt Takashi, who was the only groom's men. 'To think that mom said that dad hated uncle Kota at first...' Then there was Mitsu, who insisted on being mom's 'maid of honor' and Fuyumi, who insisted on taking part in the wedding in every way, was the bride's maid.

I zoned out on the vows as I watched my little cousin Masato squirming in a tired Kaoru's arms in one of the pews of the church. Uncle Kota and Aunt Takashi adopted Masato almost three years ago after they themselves got married and he was five years my junior. Kaoru had been staying with Mitsu, Kota, and Takashi ever since Tamaki and Hikaru were convicted. He felt guilty that he couldn't have prevented my dad and Takashi from getting hurt that day, so he decided that he would help out dad and Takashi in any way he could.

Mitsu decided to say with Takashi until he found someone he loved as much as mom loved dad and Uncle Kota loved Aunt Takashi. Dad said that Mitsu was going to run a cake shop one day because of his loves for sweets. What I thought was sweet was Uncle Kota and Aunt Takashi's profession. Those two went back to their roots and started a martial arts dojo together. They only just bought the lease a month or two ago, so it was still a project in progress, but I can see good things coming out of this dojo in the future...

"I now pronounce you husbands," I heard Grandpa Ranka say as I focused again on the wedding. I watched as my mom and dad leaned towards each other before whispering to each other.

"I love you, Master."

"I love you more, Kyoya."

They then kiss and i sighed at the sight.

'Maybe I'll meet someone who will love me as much as that... Someone who would change the way they look at things and love me for all parts of me...'I thought as a glance down to my left hand.


A/N: Thank you everyone who read this story/favorited/reviewed/followed along on the journey. Like i said at the top, leave a review if you want to hear Daniel's story when he's around fourteen or fifteen? Will he find someone that both understands his insecurities and makes him feel stronger and will understand and be okay with him having gay parents? Or will he have to settle with one or the other.

Or maybe you'll want to read a Kyoya/Haruhi/Kaoru where it's a little similar to this story where Haruhi is still the Dom/master/seme and Kyoya is still the submissive/pup/uke and they were already couple when they met Kaoru on the streets or in some situation where he needs both someone to care for him and someone who he can rely to have the control over his life so nothing can happenagain... (I don't know how to word that without ruining the surprise if you guys really want to read and find out ^.^) But question: Should Haruhi be male or female in this story?

The second one sounds a lot more exciting to me, but I can see the Daniel one being very happy before it crashs with a angst/tragic feeling before it gets better and the other one being a a confusing mystery feel as Kaoru settles with Kyoya and Haruhi. I think I'm getting this idea from a book of some sort, but whatever :)
