Chapter 14

Hanako woke up in a very comfortable bed in Kyoya's room. She looked off to her side and saw a side table with saltine crackers and glass of water sitting on it, as it prepared for her to eat just in case. She also saw a note on it that she picked up to read.

It said, "Dear Hanako, if you awake and need anything please push silver button on the bedframe on the opposite side of this table. And if you are feeling able, when you wake up, please come to the study. Press the button and a maid will come to escort you,

Sincerely Yoshio Otori

"Oh boy," Hanako said to herself as she managed to get herself up and off the bed. She hit the button and in less than a minute, a maid was coming in through the door.

"Miss Hanako, did you need anything or are you feeling able to come to the master's study?" she asked.

"I would like to go to the study," said Hanako.

"Of course, please follow me," said the maid, motioning for her to follow out the of the room. Hanako lingered slowly behind the maid with her head down low. Tears were still in her eyes after what had happened earlier with her father. Plus, as she walked past a couple of other servants, they seem to stop and give her a dirty look or two.

'Everyone hates me now, I know it!' she thought.

"Here we are," said the maid when she came to a door and knocked three times.

"Enter," came a loud but gentle voice on the other side.

"Go on in," said the maid as she moved aside for her. Hanako was about to past her when Hanako suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder and looked at maid.

"If it means anything, I think you'll be okay. My mother had me at seventeen and she was able to raise me happily," she said.

"Thank you," Hanako said softly as she walked further in. As she entered fully she saw Yoshio sitting at his desk, Kyoya sitting in front of it, while Rika was sitting on one of the two love seats in the office as well.

"Have a seat," Yoshio instructed gently.

Hanako did as she was told and sat on the other love seat, right in eyesight of Kyoya's mother. The woman was staring at Hanako with serious eyes and Hanako couldn't tell what she was thinking or feeling.

Kyoya looked at her and nodded. "Are you feeling alright this morning?"

"Yes, were you able to eat the saltines I had placed on the nightstand for you?" Yoshio queried.

Hanako sighed. "No. I am still too nauseated right now to eat. But I assure you, now the sickness seems to go away in the afternoon so I will be eating the saltines."

Yoshio nodded as he began to speak. "So, Kyoya, Rika, and I have been speaking about what is to happen in the very near future. Kyoya from now on, you no longer have boundless use of the family wealth. That also includes your school tuition."

"I understand," Kyoya agreed.

"However we are prepared to help in other ways. I'm going to work out a budget similar to that of what a family from Hanako's class could offer up if they were supporting their child starting out on their own. That includes helping you pay for your apartment."

"You'll help us pay for an apartment?" Hanako asked, shocked.

"A simple one, one that someone like you would go for if you were just starting out," said Yoshio.

"Thank you very much sir," Hanako said, her tone still shocked, but more so thankful.

"Kyoya and I were also talking about your school situation. Since you're still in high school and your father probably won't be paying your tuition for that anymore, I can cover that at least. That's no big deal."

"You'll pay for my school tuition?!" Hanako asked.

"Kyoya, Rika and I all agreed it's important to at least have a high school education," said Yoshio, "So we can see to that and act as your legal guardians if need be."

"So, aside from my school tuition and money to help with an apartment, we're on our own?" Hanako asked looking at Kyoya.

"Yes. Though I have decided that you two and the child will be covered by me for medical until the time comes you are able to afford that yourselves. No matter what I want to ensure that my future grandchild and you are healthy."

"Only way we can get help if need be is if we have something we need and can present a decent argument as to why we need help with it, then Father agreed to help, but in most cases he wants us to handle everything on our own. That means I'll have to get a job, regular blue collar job but it'll be worth it, in more ways than one," said Kyoya.

"I should probably look into getting a job too to support us," said Hanako.

The three occupants in the room looked at her in shock.

"Hanako, you don't have to do that. I'm sure I can-"

Hanako shook her head. "I can't just sit around at home all day while you slave away. I could most likely get a job at that diner Omi works at. I'm sure he would help me with that. I can't expect you to pay for everything."

"That would probably be a good idea," said Yoshio, "As long as it doesn't interfere with your school work too much and or tending to the baby."

"We'll work something out," said Kyoya, "Father would it be too much trouble to ask Haruhi and Namiko Fujioka to come here so I can have their help in working on a budget for living as a commoner with Hanako."

"Yes, that would be most acceptable. I would like their fathers to also come so I can discuss what would be enough help and involvement I can offer for the two of you," said Mr. Yoshio.

Suddenly the door to the study was slammed open and in stormed Akito.

"Father look at this! Nobuko showed sent this to me!" he said mad as he stormed over to Yoshio's desk and showed his father his phone.

"Hmm," Yoshio muttered as he looked it over.

"What is it?" Hanako asked timidly.

"Nothing you need to be concern with," said Yoshio handing Akito back his phone. He whispered into his son's ear who nodded headed to the door. However he stopped and looked down at Hanako.

"Are you feeling well?" he asked calmly.

"For the most part," said Hanako.

"Is the baby looking well?" Akito asked.

"Oh yes, I think I still have a sonogram picture of it somewhere in my bag... oh that's in Kyoya's room!" said Hanako.

"I have one," Rika spoke up, "I came into your room while you were sleeping and took one. I'm sorry for invading your privacy, but I wanted to see it so badly." She pulled out the sonogram picture and held it out to Akito. He studied it carefully.

"It looks healthy, that's a blessing, can't wait to meet it." He said before handing it back to his mother and walking out of the room.

"Father, what was on Akito's phone?" Kyoya asked.

"A silly immature post on a social media network from Miss Hanako's immature older brother, using her misfortune as a means to feel better about himself," Yoshio said, "But don't worry, your brother will handle it."

"If this is something involving Katashi, I would like to handle it!" said Kyoya.

"You won't have control and or access to many of the family resources for a while, you might as well get use to something like that now. So no, your brother will handle it. Think of it as a uncle vs uncle kind of thing," said Yoshio.

"hmm," Kyoya said not satisfied, "I supposed this also means that I'll have to quit the host club so I can focus on family matters."

"It might be a good idea. You have your girlfriend and child to think about now," said Yoshio.

After the meeting, Kyoya and Hanako went back to his room where both laid back on his kind sized bed.

Both looked at the elegant ceiling in Kyoya's room, letting their minds take in everything that was just discussed. The ceiling was adorned with eggshell white swirls fluidly moving towards the middle of it where an elegant black wrought iron chandelier hung.

"I suppose I'll have to get used to not having a bed to sleep on like this." Kyoya chuckled.

"Smaller beds aren't so bad. I mean, one day when we can afford a bigger apartment, we could have a big bed again."

Kyoya nodded. "But I do suppose you're right. A smaller bed means I can sleep close to you."

Hanako laughed. "Not that it stops you now." She winked.

Kyoya hummed as he planted gentle kisses on her neck.

Hanako smiled and turned her head to kiss his cheek and looked at him. "Why don't we call them over tomorrow? If I recall correctly they are going shopping for Sachi's baby today. She is I think three and a half month pregnant. I can't wait to meet Namiko's little brother or sister."

Kyoya nodded. "It will be joyous. There are two babies who will be born close together."

Hanako smiled lightly, placing her hands gently on her lower abdomen. "I do have to admit, I am happy, but I am scared too."

Kyoya looked into her eyes as he laid on his side. "I'm sorry Hanako."

"What? Why are you sorry?"

"If I would have been smarter about it. If I would have waited until you at least graduated this wouldn't have happened this way."

Hanako shook her head. "No. Listen me honey."

Kyoya's eyes widened. She had never called him 'honey,' but he liked it. He nodded.

"I do not regret anything. True, we could have waited, but that night, there was so much love between the two of us and we created this child out of that love. If anything I should apologize. Any normal girl my age would have been on birth control, but I had never thought I'd need it. But then I never knew I would meet you." She said, kissing his neck.

"You said you are scared though..." Kyoya reminded her.

"Well, I'm sure all mothers to be are. I'm simply scared because I'm worried about how young I am. Most teen mothers birth premature... not only that, I worry that I won't be a good mother. I can only hope I am as good a mother as my own was to me."

"Seems you and I are having the same thoughts."

"Huh?" Hanako asked, shocked. "You're worried you won't be a good daddy?"

Kyoya smiled at that word. "Well, as I told you. Before now, my family didn't really share much emotion. I just worry I won't connect with her."

"What?" Hanako asked him.

"I worry I won't-"

She shook her head. "No no, not that. What did you say at the end of that?"

"with her?" He said, confused.

"So you think it's a girl huh? I'm pretty sure it's a boy."

Kyoya smirked. "Yes I do believe it's a girl. I guarantee she will be just as beautiful as you."

"If it is a girl, which it won't be," She teased, "She'll be a heartbreaker. We'll have to keep the boys away." She said continuing the joke.

Kyoya groaned. "No! No boys will be near her until she's 50!"

Hanako giggled as Kyoya laughed with her.

"I love you Hanako." He said, his eyes loving as he moved closer and pressed his lips to hers. He carefully but passionately held Hanako's hip with his one hand. He rolled over, allowing her to be on top of him as the two kissed. He pulled away and looked into her eyes, her emerald green pools burning with a passion he hadn't seen since that night. He knew they couldn't do anything right now, it wouldn't be smart if they did and his father wished to speak with him.

"I love you too Kyoya."

Kyoya hummed to himself as the two cuddled up together on his large bed Hanako's back against Kyoya's chest as he hugged her to him tightly. Hanako slowly fell asleep, leaving Kyoya awake as he rested his hand on her stomach, feeling like he could connect with the growing child. He kissed Hanako just under her ear before the silence in the room lulled both of them to sleep for a midday nap.

Mrs. Kokan walked slowly and softly around her daughter's room as she gathered things she felt Hanako would need to take the Otori mansion. She found herself sighing sadly uncontrollably as she more or less packed her daughter away in a big bag.

"Oh Hanko," she said softly, "why did this have to happen? Why?"

"Mom," Matsuo said as he walked into the room, "I don't know what's going on with Katashi but he won't stop laughing and calling Kyoya and Hanako fuck ups or whores."

Mrs. Kokan sighed a frustration sigh for a change, "Just ignore him. He'll be gone once I get done with his laundry."

"But what's going on? What are you doing in here? What happened to Hanako?" Matsuo asked as he looked around his mother's work.

"Mommy," Koizumi said as she walked into the room as well, looking around nervous, "Daddy wants to know if he's allowed to at least come back into the house."

"He can come in once I've gone to give this all to Hanako!" Mrs. Kokan said sternly.

"But, what happened? What happened to Hanako?" Koizumi asked.

Mrs. Kokan looked at her tow kids and saw they weren't going to back down anytime soon, until their questions were answered.

"Alright, might as well tell you," she said, "Hanako's pregnant, with Kyoya's child."

Both kids' mouths jaws dropped.

"Hanako's going to have a baby?" Koizumi asked.

"Oh my god!" Matsuo said in shock, "but what does that have to do with Dad and Katashi?"

"Katashi is just being his usually self-centered self, just ignore him. Your father on the other hand, well, he's not taking this whole thing well. He's so mad that he's decided to more or less kick Hanako out."

"Kick Hanako out? Out of the house?" Matsuo asked.

"That and kind of out of the family too," said Mrs. Kokan.

"He kicked Hanako out family?!" Koizumi said upset, "But she's our sister! His daughter!"

"I know," said Mrs. Kokan, "But this is how he wants to deal with it for now. And right now I don't have the patient to handle it. I just want to get this stuff to your sister. So please let me finish this up."

Matsuo narrowed his eyes before walking out of the room fast.

"Mommy, if I get pregnant, does this mean Daddy will kick me out of family too?" Koizumi asked sacred and a little teary eyed.

"Oh honey, don't think that way about your father! he still loves you and loves Hanako in his own way."

"I don't know," said Koizumi, "I don't know how much I want to be around Daddy anymore." She walked slowly out of the room.

"Koi!" her mother called after her, only to hear a door shut. "Oh, Koi!"

Matsuo stormed down the stairs where Katashi was sitting on the couch, still laughing his head off and fiddling with his phone.

"this is so much fun," he said.

"what are you doing?" Matsuo asked him mad.

"Just making Hanako's pregency a little more fun," said Katashi not looking up. Matsuo could feel his anger welling up inside of him to the point that he went and surprised Katashi by walking up behind him and hitting him upside the head.

"What hell? You little fucker, what's your problem?!" Katashi snapped at him. He jumped up and started to come around the couch.

"I don't care if you kick my ass two ways from Sunday! I won't let you use Hanako's problems as mean to amuse yourself! Either knock it off or get out of here and take your laundry with you! Mom's not your laundry lady anyway!"

"Boy you got an attitude!" said Katashi.

"Someone has to man up in his family since you and dad won't!" Matsuo.

Katashi laughed, "You, a man? Dude, Koi has more balls than you!"

"Stop making fun of Hanako! You're her brother, act like it!" Matsuo declared.

"Man, what has gotten into everyone?! Doesn't anyone have a sense of humor anymore?" Katashi said as he walked towards the laundry room. Matsuo followed slowly behind him only to suddenly hear a loud knock on the back door. He went to open it and saw his dad standing there.

"Finally, did your mother say if I can come back in?" he asked.

"She says you can come back in once she's gone to take Hanako's things to her," said Matsuo calmly as he started to shut the door.

"Enough of this!" Mr. Kokan said as he tried to stop the door.

"No Dad!" Matsuo maintained as he pushed his dad's arm away, "You're staying outside until Mom leaves, like she said!"

"What the hell has gotten into you young man?!" Mr. Kokan said.

"You were wrong with Hanako when you kicked her out! You had no right!" said Matsuo.

"The hell I don't!" said Mr. Kokan.

"No Dad! You were wrong! Hanako needed help and support for what she's going through, not what you did!" Matsuo declared, "I know you can beat me up just as bad as Katashi, but I won't back down this time! You stay out here until Mom's gone!" And with that, Matsuo shut the door in his father's face.

"Now, one more person I need to confront," Matsuo said to himself as he walked back to Hanako's room.

"Hey Mom, can I go with you to the Otori Mansion?" he asked.

When Matsuo and Mrs. Kokan arrived at the mansion, they were both greeted at the front hall by the Otori parents.

"Thank you for coming," said Mr. Otori.

"I have the things right here," said Mrs. Kokan holding up the few bags.

"Very good, thank you," said Mr. Otori, "We've been able to figure out what's going to happen to the two of them. I think they're going to be alright for the most part."

"I hope so," said Mrs. Kokan. "Where are they, anyway?"

"Maybe the two went out?" Mrs. Otori wondered.

"Perhaps. Let's place Ms. Hanako's things in Kyoya's room and we can talk in my study." Yoshio suggested to Mrs. Kokan. "At least to fill you in on what Kyoya, Hanako, and I discussed earlier."

Mae nodded as she gently opened the door. She placed the luggage in front of the dresser. As she turned to walk back out she sighed happily, looking at Kyoya's bed.

Yoshio and Rika noticed her stop and curiously walked in to see the two sleeping peacefully, Kyoya holding his girlfriend to him tightly as his one arm rested beneath his head and the other wrapped around Hanako, his hand on her stomach with his face buried behind her neck.

Rika smiled as she silently got excited. She took out her phone camera and took a photo of the two.

Yoshio smirked. "My beloved, why did you take a photo?" He whispered as the two walked out.

"Well to show Fuyumi. As you know, she has a hard time, for some reason, believing Kyoya is so loving." She giggled. "I, for one, am glad to see that, despite the current circumstances, that the two are able to love on another." She said just as Mae walked out, closing the door behind her.

Mae looked at Rika. "It's just so hard to believe that our children are going to having a child themselves."

She nodded. "I agree, but even though I want to be angry, I can't find it within myself to be. Yoshio and I were arranged, but we loved each other before we even knew we were to be married. We married young, I was 18 and he was 19. We had out first when he was 20. Our parents were worried as we had started to expect so early after marriage, but it's true what they saw, a baby can bring so much happiness, no matter the circumstances. Wouldn't you agree dear?" She asked Yoshio.

"I do." He said as the three made their way to his study. Matsu however lingered outside of Kyoya's room.

'I'm going to wait here for when Kyoya's ready to talk. I want to talk to him about this!' he thought determined.

"That was a dirty trick sis!" Kyo yelled at Ranka.

Ranka growled. "I am a man! And what are you talking about! How was I supposed to know you wanted Prince Street!"

Namiko sat with her family, Ritsu having came over. Namiko was sitting on Ritsu's lap, leaning into him as they played monopoly together.

"Your turn Namiko." Haruka said as she laughed at her father and her uncle, Tamaki sitting there as well.

Ranka wasn't happy about Tamaki coming along, but Namiko's fathers welcomed him in, even if Kyo had also been a little unsure.

Suddenly her phone rang. As soon as she saw the name, she hastily answered. "Hanako?"

"Hi Namiko. Could you and Haruhi come to Kyoya's home. His father wants you two and your parents to come to the estate."

"Oh... yes, we can. Is everything okay?"

"Well, let's just say that Kyoya's father wants all your advice and input about commoner life."

Namiko bit her lip and nodded. "Of course. We'll be there shortly. I'll let you know when all of us are on our way." She hung up, looking at her father's who were looking at her, their expressions confused.

"Was that Hanako?" Haruhi asked.

Namiko nodded.

"Is she alright?" Tamaki asked.

Ritsu cocked his head to the side. "What do you guys mean?"

"Yes, what is going on?" Sachi asked, sipping her tea.

Namiko looked at Haruhi who nodded. She should tell them especially if they are going to be asked about commoner life.

"Namiko?" Ritsu asked.

She looked at Haruhi and sighed. "Well..." She said, now looking towards her fathers, Ranka, and Sachi.

"Oh my god! You're not pregnant are you!" Kyo begged.

Namiko's eyes widened. "What?! No! Ritsu and I haven't even... not the point. No."

Ritsu was blushing due to the two having been asked that.

"Hanako... she's pregnant."

"What?!" Kyo and Nobu asked, shocked.

She nodded. "Yes. Anyways, it's Kyoya-senpai's baby." She said, hearing an audible gasp from Ranka. "Kyoya's father would like Ranka, Sachi, and you two to go to his estate so he can ask you about commoner life. I guess it's important and something to help Kyoya and Hanako."

Nobu nodded. "When would they like us to be there?"

"As soon as possible. Hanako and Kyoya want Haruhi and I too so we can help to look for apartments for the two of them."

"An apartment? Did Kyoya's father kick him out?"

Haruhi shrugged. "Being it that they are looking for an apartment, it is probably so." She said, looking over at the clock. "It's noon, so I'm going to assume they are going to want us all there soon."

"You're right." Sachi said, standing up, everyone following suit.

Hey Hanako, We're on our way. Could you send an address? xNamiko

Namiko sighed as she sent it, almost receiving an immediate reply.

Hi Namiko. Actually, could you send the address for your place, Kyoya's father is insistent on one of their cars picking you guys up. xHanako

She nodded as she quickly sent the address, everyone now sitting around their living room waiting for the arrival of the limo.

It wasn't long until they heard the honking of a horn.

Namiko, Tamaki, and Haruhi grabbed their laptops as they all went towards the door.

Ritsu walked to his car, waving Namiko over for a moment. Everyone looked over at them for a moment. "Hey Namiko. I'm sorry but I have business to attend to with my father. Let me know when you're done at Kyoya's and we can study some more." He winked.

Namiko laughed as she wrapped her arms around him, winking. "Yeah, you sure you want to just study?" She joked.

"Namiko!" Haruhi groaned.

Namiko laughed. She kissed Ritsu on the lips quickly before turning around. "I'll text you later okay?"

He nodded. "Looking forward to it." Ritsu got on his car and waited for everyone to get into Kyoya's limo and letting it leave before pulling out of the driveway himself. "So... Kyoya's having a baby huh? This... this is going to be an interesting year."He said to himself as he got closer to home.
