What Father Wants

- Previously -

"Haru-chan will make it, ne?" Mitsukuni frowned.
"Un." Takashi replied for his comfort.
The chauffeur shook his head though, "…"

"Mama…" Daichi said quietly.
"Kyouya-senpai 's Daichi's chichi." Kaoru stated.
"Why didn't you tell us… that you…" Hikaru paused.
"Should I have told you?" Kyouya asked.
"…" Everyone looked at him.

"As I said, we've slept together before, that time over New Years was when I had impregnated her without either of us knowing it." Kyouya stated, "twelve weeks after the conception, she found out and made drastic measures as to have home schooling from Ouran, so I had her move into the estate, her father moved to a new apartment and went into a witness protection program so to speak," he sighed, "in Brazil a fight managed between us and she left the estate, so I hadn't seen Daichi in five months."

They looked to the ground silently. "…"
Hikaru was the first to speak, "why didn't she tell us?"
"She didn't tell anyone except school superiors." Kyouya stated.
"That explains why she didn't want to tell us anything." Kaoru spoke.
"Haru-chan likes to be independent, but something like this wasn't something that she could do alone." Mitsukuni stated quietly with a light smile on his face.

"Is there a Ohtori present?" A doctor called out after leave the emergency room.
Kyouya stood up and shifted Daichi in his arms, "hai, Ohtori Kyouya."
"I understand that Fujioka Ohtori Haruhi is your fiancée, is this correct?"
"Hai, how is she?" He demanded rather sternly, but really, he was worried.

"May we talk then?" The doctor glanced at his companions. "Alone?"

The others understood and went over to the chairs and sat down as Kyouya gave his son to the chauffeur. There was something about this that he knew he wasn't going to like, so he tried to brace himself for it. Their silence last thirty seconds, long enough to make sure the fiancé of the girl was ready to hear what he had to say.

"She had multiple fractures, a bone even pierced the skin," the doctor stated, "it was mainly her left side that faced more of the impact- where the car his the limousine."

Kyouya paused when hearing this, and looked at him, "can I speak to her?"
"You can, demo…, she won't respond anytime soon." The doctor replied.
He swallowed nervously, "what is that supposed to me? You said-"
"She slipped into coma, Ohtori-sama." His hand raised to look at his watch. "She should be in her room now since operations are over, family only for now though."
The shadow king understood, and asked, "then can they go to whatever floor she's on? So they can wait in the waiting room on that level?"
His head nodded, "I'll take you to the floor, one family member at a time."
"Can Daichi go with me at the same time then? He's our musuko."

"…it's best to not let him see her at the moment." The doctor replied.

- Now -

Everyone at Ouran Academy new that Haruhi was in a car accident one way or another, and everyone equally worried. The Host Club was closed until she returned to them, they were far too worried about her to even host. Kyouya, trying to be as supportive as he could, stayed over at Ryouji's apartment and watched Daichi.

They would ask Kyouya how he was every now and then, but he never replied to them; he was probably shaken up. He showed no mercy on the man whose car hit the limousine, and it he was going pay dearly. Both the Fujioka and Ohtori family, even along with the extension to the Shido family as well.

The others could visit her after eight entire weeks to where her body looked like it barely had any damage. Bones were healed, bruises lightened up a little bit, but she was still in that disturbing coma. Kyouya would visit her for five minutes first, then let the others see her for the same amount, and he would return for an hour more.

He was really worried.

Tamaki and the others left, Tachibana took Daichi home personally in a car, and Kyouya stayed a little longer with Haruhi. It was raining outside, and Haruhi barely look like she was breathing, so he wasn't going anywhere any time soon. He never touched or spoke to her; he just sat there at her side, gazing at her with his silence.

Knock, knock.

Her nurse came back in after her twenty minute break and returned to Haruhi's charts next to her. Kyouya didn't care what the nurse did, he just kept looking at his fiancée, hoping that she would wake. Haruhi would seem dead to him if he didn't know that she was in a coma, even if she was on a heart monitor.

"Ohtori-sama," the nurse called out a little nervously.
He spared her a light annoyed glance, "…"
"It helps… if you try talking to her, and touching her…"
Kyouya then looked at Haruhi, but stayed quiet, "…"
"I'll leave you to be with her, I'll be back later." She bowed.

After she left, Kyouya still looked at Haruhi in silence, not knowing what he should really do. Should he talk to her and act like a fool when a nurse or doctor comes in to look at her to give a check up? Should he touch her and feel like he was taking advantage of her somehow after the incident that created their son?

He looked at her even longer, her face would make someone assume that she was sleeping peacefully, or that she was dead. Kyouya took the latter option of how he should some communication to her; to his fiancée. His hand grabbed hers and lightly caressed the back of her hand with his thumb, trying to give her little warmth.

"…normally it's you giving me warmth," he said quietly, then frowned, "gomen nasi." Kyouya stopped and just held her hand, "I should've just went with you, and sat where you sat… you shouldn't be in pain like this, Haruhi."

She was still.

His hand came up, and caressed her face, "Tamaki asked me once, if I loved you, or if I only lusted for you." He sighed, "I didn't know back then, demo, I understood my feelings when we were in Brazil, I was jealous that you were with him, and not me."

He stared at her.

"…aishiteru, Haruhi." Kyouya leaned over and kissed her head. "I wish I told you that before you had gone through all of this, but I didn't want the customers to know or else it my affect the company and the stocks." He laughed and shook his head, "I'm horrible aren't I? Thinking more about the company than I am about you that is."

Her face was soft.

"You're going to wake soon, and when you do, I swear I'll be here- Daichi and I both, I promise," he rubbed her arm now. "Once you get out, you'll have a huge amount of homework to do that the twins can help you with. So you better wake up soon, ne?"

His eyes watered.

Before he gave any chance for them to fall, he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief from his pocket. He hadn't felt this way before, ever; his heart just ached in never ending pain, his worry kept him awake a lot, his mind focused on her. Thankfully, all of his teachers let him off the hook and allowed him his time when he needed it because of everything that was going on in his life right now.

Knock, knock.

"Ohtori-sama," the nurse called, "it's been three hours, how about you go home?"

He wanted to decline, but he was tired, and he had much to do at the apartment such as Daichi and homework. Kyouya understood instantly why Haruhi would take him to a day care during the day so she could do homework. His head exploded when he tried doing homework and keeping an eye one the little boy, and he was trouble.

Kyouya stood up and kissed Haruhi's forehead, "I'll be back tomorrow."

Two weeks passed and everyday was the same thing over and over again, school, visit Haruhi at the hospital, and go home. Now onto the eleventh entire week, and he couldn't take it much longer, which was something that Ryouji noticed. He offered Kyouya to just take a break from stress and worrying, and just do something fun.

Yeah right.

Riiiing!

The bell rang and everyone was either going home or going to a club activity, it didn't matter to anyone. Kyouya was the person who didn't care the most about anyone at the moment, all he cared about was Daichi and Haruhi. He hadn't been at the estate in ten long weeks, hadn't seen his blood family, but he didn't mind.

"K-Kyouya!" Tamaki bursted with surprise.
He looked at him, "nani-yo, Tamaki?"
"L-look!" The host king pointed shakily.

Kyouya rolled his eyes at him and looked in the direction that he was pointed in, and he froze. There standing in baggy jeans and a sports jacket was the girl he had been so worry about the past two months. Haruhi smiled and came walking to him slowly and was greeted with a strong hug from the shadow king.

"You're awake." Kyouya said quietly, holding her even tighter than earlier.
"I heard everything you said, I wanted to reply so badly." She whispered.
His hold loosened a little and he looked at her, "what do you mean everything?"
"I heard your voice, Tamaki's, …everyone who came to see me." Haruhi smiled.
He could feel his cheeks lightly heat, but at least not enough to blush, "I see…"
"That nurse was mean, I woke up and asked to leave, and she wouldn't let me,"
Haruhi frowned, "I had to call otousan, so he picked me up and brought me here."
"Otousan is here?" Kyouya looked her surprisedly, but she shook her head.

"Iie, he left. All he did is drop me off." She explained. "I'm sorry I made you worry."
Kyouya kissed her lips lightly since they were in the flooded hallway. "It's fine."
"No it isn't, you were crying, I remember." The young woman kissed him back.
His eyes rolled, ignoring the fact that she claimed that he cried, "humph…"
"I was worried too," Tamaki frowned, feeling left out of the conversation.
Haruhi looked at him, "you wouldn't stop talking Tamaki." She kissed his cheek.
He grinned lightly in satisfaction to be in the conversation, "well, you weren't dead."

"Haruhi!!" The twins yelled in excitement as they saw her, and ran over.
"Hikaru! Kaoru!" Haruhi smiled and released Kyouya so he wouldn't be trampled.
They hugged her at the same time, "you're okay! you're awake!"
She laughed, "you're suffocating me," they released her.
"Shouldn't you be at the hospital?" Kaoru asked.

"Delivering a kid is the only time I would like to be in the hospital." Haruhi replied. "I don't enjoy needles in my arm and the constant beeping of a monitor."

Hikaru grinned, "only when delivering a kid? You're going to have another soon?"
"Eh?" Haruhi looked at him confusedly, wondering what he meant.
"You said delivering a kid is the only time you want to be at a hospital." Kaoru spoke.
"Haruhi, are you pregnant again?!" Tamaki panicked.
"How rude," Kyouya sighed, "we're in school you know."

"Haaaaruuuu-chaaaan!!" Mitsukuni called out in happiness and leaped to her arms.
"M-Mitsukuni!" Haruhi got him by instinct since he was little. "T-that's unsafe…"
"Yeah, what if she was still injured!" Tamaki pouted.
"Then she wouldn't be here…" Hikaru replied to him.
"She shouldn't be here anyways." Kyouya stated.

Haruhi looked at him quietly when he said that as Mitsukuni took advantage of her motherly instincts to be hugged. Takashi came from behind and patted her head, causing her to jump lightly in surprise because of it. Mitsukuni was released and she went to Kyouya who looked at her curiously, wondering what she was thinking.

"How about we all go to the apartment?" She asked her fiancé quietly, and then made him an offer, "I'll make something to eat for us all, how does that sounds?"

"Yay!" Mitsukuni cheered.
"Un." Takashi had no objections.
"Haruhi's cooking!" The twins grinned.
"Let's do it!" Tamaki smiled happily.

"Iie." Kyouya answered her.
"Eh?" They looked at him.
"Naze?" Haruhi asked him.

"You need your rest, you were released today, so you should be tired, and don't tell me otherwise." Kyouya demanded, being stern with his strangely happy fiancée.

"I am tired," Haruhi replied, "but that shouldn't stop me from having fun, ne?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise of what she said, and how she said it; was she really okay? Mitsukuni cheered nonetheless, and held her hand to take her outside to the limousine with Takashi following them. The twins and Tamaki were worried about her, and how uncharacteristic she was, it wasn't her.

Tamaki looked at Kyouya, "do you think something's wrong?"
"She was in a coma for almost eleven weeks. Of course I do." Kyouya replied.
"Well… she's happy… so…" Kaoru allowed Hikaru to finish for him.
"Shouldn't we be happy too?" Hikaru ended.

They didn't understand.

But they knew.

Something was wrong.

Haruhi fixed them a snack, dinner, and dessert within three hours of no help from the others or the servant that lived there. The guys played with Daichi, even though all the little boy wanted to do was cling to his mother. Kyouya noticed that she was literally happy; not once did she complain about anything, not even the annoyance.

Since it was Friday night, they all stayed the night after Haruhi offered it to her best friends. Of course though, they had to sleep in the family room while Kyouya, Daichi, and herself slept in the other room. Ryouji came home early the next morning and saw how everyone was passed out on the floor, and wondered how they knew where he lived, then he slipped into the sleeping room and saw Kyouya sleeping.

He smiled warmly.

Kyouya was sleeping soundly with Haruhi wrapped in his arms, and her arms wrapped over his. It was a little passed four in the morning, but even though it surprised him that Kyouya wasn't awake doing homework, he understood. Haruhi was home and so his worries should all be flushed away, and he wanted to be with her after seven months of being ignored; two of those months were terrifying.

Ryouji forced himself to stay calm and not burst out with glee for her recovery; he didn't want to wake up his grandson and all the others. He went to go take a nice hot shower in the bathroom since he didn't want to go to sleep. His shower ended thirty minutes later, but it seemed he dawdled quite a bit because it was seven already.

'A nice cup of coffee will do me good.' Ryouji though and went to the kitchen.

There she was.

Haruhi was fixing some coffee at seven in the morning and stared outside the kitchen window. It was sprinkling outside now, she heard that there should be a storm soon tomorrow, but she didn't mind. Feeling that someone was watching her, she turned around and smiled when she saw her father, and gave him a hug.

"Welcome home," Ryouji whispered.
"Hai," she replied just as quiet.
He knew something was up, "daijobu?"
"I'm fine, do you want some coffee?"
"Hai, arigato," he was confused.

An hour later, Daichi woke up and stumble out of the room, not missing a step on Kyouya's foot and Tamaki's back, along with the twins hands, Mitsukuni's head. He tripped over Takashi's leg though and began crying, and everyone panicked insanely. They looked around, wondering what to do, except Takashi who paled for having the little one fall over his leg, but it wasn't his fault.

"Dai-chi, stop whining," Haruhi called out softly.
"Mama!" Daichi stopped crying and went to her.
They stared that the little boy confusedly, "…"
Tamaki spoke, "was that… to get your attention?"
Daichi stuck his tongue at him, "bleh!"

Haruhi smiled and kissed Daichi's cheek, "he's a mama's boy."
Kyouya sighed and spoke out, "he steps on everyone to wake them up, falls so he can cry and get your attention. Clearly, he is a mama's boy."
She shrugged, "I've had more time with him, except the past two months."
"Coffee everyone?!" Ryouji smiled happily, changing the subject.

The Host Club and Daichi went to a playground where kids could play in the sand and on the toys. Tamaki and the twins asked to play with the little boy, and Haruhi granted them permission. Mitsukuni was already playing in the sand, swinging on the swings and then going down the slides with Takashi close by.

"Why are you so happy?" Kyouya asked, sitting next to Haruhi on the bench.
"I'm just having fun, that's alright in the Ohtori family, isn't it?" She smiled.
"You haven't been upset or annoyed as you usually do when being around them."
Her shoulders shrugged, but smiled softer. "Maybe I'm just bothered by it anymore."
"Tell me what's wrong… Haruhi," Kyouya said quietly, not used to saying this.
She smiled softened even more, and looked at him, "kowakatta…"
"…" The shadow king looked at her quietly, wanting to listen.

"When that car hit, all these white lights just flashed in front of me, I realized that I wasn't ready- that life was so short." Haruhi paused and looked at the ground. "In that darkness, I wondered if I was dead, but after a while, I heard the others, and then I heard you sometime later on," she looked at him, "I was happy, and I woke eventually."

Kyouya didn't understand all that much, and held her hand, "why?"
"I have a family, so why cant I be happy?" She asked curiously.
"You remind me of Tamaki's haha, she was happy." He replied.
Haruhi held his hand back and looked at him, "okasans are like that."

"Mama! Look!" Daichi called out on a secure swing where his legs dangled in two holes as the twins pushed him gently and Tamaki making faces when he came forth.

"You never answered the twins yesterday." Kyouya reminded her.
"Yesterday?" She looked at him curiously, already forgotten.
"Are we going to have another kid?" The shadow king asked.
Now she remembered, and looked at Daichi, "…depends."

His brows furrowed, "what do you mean?"
"Well, there's two things it depends on."
"What's the first?" He asked curiously.
"How soon is 'soon,' a month? A year?"

Kyouya laughed, "after you graduate."
"Oh, so, in two years?" She asked.
He blushed lighty, "not exactly…"
"You're blushing." Haruhi stated.
"What's the second?" He asked.

"If you still love me."
