Ranka was awake first and started making breakfast. Haruhi was still asleep.
Tamaki woke up soon afterwards. "Hm?" He blinked. "Oh wow. Ranka that smells delicious."
"Why thank you." he nodded and continued to cook. "Hey, why don't you go check on them?" he suggested.
Tamaki blinked "Oh sure." He stood up and headed towards Haruhi's room. He opened her door.
She was still asleep on her side and sighed in her sleep.
Tamaki couldn't help smiling at how peaceful she seemed. He walked in and carefully shut the door behind him. He then went over to her side and held her hand.
She smiled in her sleep and gently squeezed his hand. "Tamaki..." she mumbled in her sleep.
He continued to smiled. "I love you so much."
She looked up tiredly at him and smiled, "Hey.."
"Good morning" he smiled.
"Morning." she yawned. "Hey.. I've been thinking.. maybe we should be going home in case Kyoya comes."
"Sure, but your father is making breakfast for you." he smiled.
"Oh, alright." she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Come on" he smiled extending his hand.
She took his hand and stood up. "Why do you and my dad treat me like I'm due any day?"
"Well you know how your Dad is." he smiled "And, I'm just a little new to this."
"True." she kissed his cheek. "Ok, you're forgiven."
"Well thank you." He smiled as he brought her out to the living room.
"Hi!~ How are you two this morning?~" Ranka gushed from sitting down and eating. "Fine." she smiled.
Tamaki went over and sat down next to Haruhi "It certainly smelled delicious. I can't wait to see what you were making."
"It's nothing fancy. Just pancakes." he shrugged. "Good enough for me." she started eating.
"Those certainly have become a favorite with you." Tamaki smiled.
"Me?" she blinked. "Well, pregnant women like weird foods at weird times." Ranka chuckled.
"Pancakes aren't that unusual" Tamaki smiled placing his hand on her head. "I don't mind making you breakfast."
She blinked, somewhat confused then shrugged it off and ate more. Ranka smiled, "Have you told your family yet Tamaki?" he asked.
Tamaki frowned. "No I... I haven't gotten to yet."
"Well, be sure to do it soon!" he took a big bite from his pancake. "Don't worry dad, we will." Haruhi sighed and held Tamaki's hand.
"Uh yeah." he sighed "Hopefully this week."
"Good." he nodded. "Kyoya visits every month because your mother tells him to... right?" Haruhi asked.
Tamaki nodded "That's right. I'd like to be able to tell her in person though."
"Well... we could always tell Kyoya to be sure to inform her not to tell her but have her come visit us." she thought aloud.
Tamaki shook his head. "No, I'll go. I should go to her."
"But I thought you said..." she paused and glanced at her father then back at him nervously.
"I know what I said." He replied taking her hand sweetly. "But I have to beat this fear. For you, and for our baby."
Ranka cried into a tissue that magically seemed to appear. She gently squeezed his hand and smiled, "Tamaki, with an attitude like that you'll be a wonderful father."
He smiled sweetly. "Well, thank you. I just want to do everything I can for you."
"Are you talking to me or the baby?" she smiled and raised an eyebrow.
"Both of you" He smiled. "I want you both to be happy, and I know I can't do that if I'm always worried. So I'll beat this for you."
Ranka started crying harder. "You really are the best Tamaki." she smiled sweetly.
"Well, I try." he smiled.
"Well, we should probably go home now, huh?" she stood up. "Aw!" Ranka whined.
Tamaki smiled "We'll be back, very soon I'm sure." He smiled at Haruhi.
"Ok... bye." Ranka hugged his daughter. She hugged him back then headed for the door. "Bye!" she waved. "Bye." he waved back.
Tamaki smiled and waved as he went out the door.
She took his hand and gently squeezed it as they headed for home. "Want me to be there for you when you go into the ocean?"
"If you'd like to come you can." he smiled "I'm not sure how long I'll be down there though."
"I'll gladly come with you and wait for you." she smiled. "I don't care how long it takes."
"But I don't want you to stay out too late." he replied.
"Alright, if it gets too late I'll go home." she shook her head, "When is too late?"
"I'm going today." he smiled. "If I do it'll probably be in the morning. But I want you to rest."
"Tamaki, I'm fine. I can still do everything I used to before I became pregnant." she frowned.
"I just don't want to risk anything happening." he got quieter as he spoke.
She looked in his eyes before she sighed. "Fine, I'll wait for you at home."
He smiled and hugged her. "Come on, let's go home."
"Okay." she smiled and headed for home.
Tamaki smiled following her. He yawned a bit "I'm kind of tired." he rubbed his eye.
"Do you want to rest before you go see your mother?" she asked.
"Yeah I would." he yawned.
"Alright." she laughed and went inside their home. "If you want I can lay down with you."
"Sure" he smiled "If you want too."
"I don't mind." she yawned then went to their bedroom and lied in bed.
Tamaki smiled and lied down in bed.
She snuggled up to him and smiled. "I can't wait to see Anne, I bet she's going to be so proud of you."
"I hope so." he smiled as he closed his eyes.
"She will be." she rested her head on his shoulder and started falling asleep.
Tamaki fell asleep soon after. A little while into his sleep he shifted uncomfortably, but he soon calmed down. After about an hour he woke up again.
Haruhi remained asleep. She had rolled away from him in her sleep and mumbled his name once.
Tamaki smiled at Haruhi. "She's amazing."
She rolled onto her back with her hand on her stomach and mumbled in her sleep.
Tamaki couldn't help smiling. He leaned over and kissed her forehead.
She blinked and looked up at him, "Hmm?"
"Well hello." He smiled. "Sorry for waking you."
"No its ok." she yawned. "Hey yourself."
"I just thought I should tell you about my dream." He smiled.
"And what was it about?" she rubbed her eyes.
"Well" he began "It started out like the others. I was trapped and I was being hurt. But then... then I saw you." he smiled "You were a mermaid in my dream, you looked so beautiful. You reached out your hand to me with that brilliant smile you have. The pain stopped and I was fine. All my scars were gone, and I think that's a sign, that I can do this and I'll be okay." he smiled.
She blinked then smiled. "I'm glad your fears are gone now."
"I think I can do this now." He smiled. "It's all thanks to you." He kissed her forehead.
"But I haven't done much." she blinked.
He shook his head and placed his hand on top of her head "You have."
"What have I done then?" she asked.
"You just gave me the courage I needed." he smiled.
"As long as I could have done something to help." she smiled back, "Still want me to walk with you to the ocean?"
"I think I'll be okay." he smiled.
"Alright." she sat up. "Well...," she stretched a little, "I guess I'll wait here for you."
He smiled "Yeah, I won't be too long." He stood up then turned around and kissed her.
She kissed him back and smiled. "Come back safe."
"I will." Tamaki smiled. "I'll be back soon." He smiled as he left. Once he made it to the ocean he exhaled deeply and started to walk into the water.
She got up then sat on the couch in the living room and patiently waited for him to come back.
Tamaki made the rest of the way into the water easily. He was confident thanks to his dream and Haruhi. Surprisingly enough he wasn't afraid at all when he finally started swimming around in the water like before, he even smiled. "Now to my kingdom."
After a few hours Tamaki returned home with another person. He opened the door "Haruhi? I have a surprise." he smiled.
Haruhi was asleep on the couch. She blinked and looked up tiredly at him. "Yes?" she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Oh I'm sorry if I woke you." he smiled. "But we have a visitor." He gestured to his mother.
"Hi Anne." she smiled. "I don't mind Tamaki. How are you Anne?"
Anne smiled "I'm wonderful, how are you dear?"
"Well, I'm sick and..." she looked over at Tamaki, wondering if he told her.
Tamaki winked and held his finger up to his lips signaling he hadn't said anything yet. "Mom, why don't you sit down?" he smiled.
"Please." she smiled and nodded, motioning her to sit next to her.
"So" Anne smiled "Tamaki tells me you have something exciting to tell me." she smiled. Tamaki smiled as he sat down in the chair across from them. "That's right."
"Gee, thanks Tamaki." she laughed then looked back at Anne. "Well, in all actuality, Tamaki and I... we're having a baby."
Anne covered her mouth with both of her hands. "Oh my goodness! Congratulations dear!" She hugged Haruhi.
She smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks Anne. We're so excited and we promise to tell you every chance we get. Well, every chance Tamaki can get." she laughed.
"Yeah" Tamaki smiled "I'll be the messenger." He laughed. Anne smiled "You're finally over your fear." He couldn't help smiling "Yeah, I think I am."
"And I'm proud of him." she smiled over at him.
Anne smiled and hugged Tamaki "Congratulations. I know you're going to be a great father." "Thanks Mom"
She smiled and watched them fondly. Was she going to be like that with her child? She hoped so.
Anne looked over to Haruhi. "So, how far along are you?"
"O-only a few days." she blushed.
"Wow, so you're very early on." She smiled. "I'm so happy for you two."
"Thanks Anne." she smiled. "I'm really excited. I can't wait till later on."
"I told her how cute she was going to look and she got irritated." Tamaki smiled innocently. Anne just shook her head. "Oh Tamaki" she smiled.
"He doesn't understand." she sighed. "Though, I can't blame him."
"I don't think you have to be self-conscious." He smiled. "I think you're adorable."
"For now." she rolled her eyes.
"What do you mean 'For now'?" he asked. "I think you'll be adorable throughout your pregnancy. I'm sure the bigger you get the cuter you'll be!" he gushed. Anne giggled at her son.
Haruhi sweat-dropped. "Thanks Tamaki... thanks."
"I mean it though." He smiled. Anne smiled "He doesn't really understand about a woman's figure." she whispered.
"I realize that." she whispered back. "You just can't wait till the baby is big enough for you to feel." she laughed.
He nodded excitedly like a small child. "Yes, of course I am!" "Seems you may already have a child." Anne smiled.
"Isn't that the truth!" she laughed. "Don't worry dear, it'll come soon enough."
He blushed a little realizing how silly he was acting. "Uh... y-yes." he smiled.
She took his hand and smiled warmly. "We're just teasing you."
"I-I'll go get some tea." He smiled standing and going into the kitchen.
"Thank you Tamaki! Love you!" she called after him.
"Love you too!" He gushed from the kitchen. Anne smiled "I really wasn't expecting to see him today." she whispered. "I didn't think I'd see him for a long time." she wiped away a stray tear.
She looked back at her and blinked. "How come?"
"Well, I never thought he would come back to the ocean this soon." she replied. "I was afraid he was too traumatized to set foot in the water again."
"So was I." she sighed, "But he said he did it for me and the baby.. even though I can't understand how I did anything to help."
"I think, it was probably his love for you that gave him the courage to do it." she smiled. "He wanted to be strong for the both of you. He loves you so much Haruhi, and from what I can tell he's very lucky to have you."
She stared at her in surprise then smiled, "No... I think it's the other way around."
Anne smiled "Well then I guess you're both lucky you have each other."
"Yeah, that's the only way to truly explain it." she looked over at the kitchen towards Tamaki.
Tamaki finished getting the tea and looked over towards her "What's with the pretty smile?" he smiled sweetly.
"No reason." she shook her head.
"Okay" he laughed handing her tea.
"Thank you Tamaki." she took the tea and drank some before setting the cup on a table.
Anne thanked Tamaki and took a sip of her tea. "Do you like it?" he smiled "I added honey this time."
"It's good." she smiled. "At this rate you're going to become a chef." she laughed.
He laughed "Well when you're at work I like to try new recipes."
"I'm glad you do. Cause we're going to need you skills later on." she sighed.
He laughed "Well maybe"
"I'm pretty sure we will, right Anne?" she asked.
Anne smiled "Well, that all depends. It's different for everyone, but from what I've seen it seems he may have to do the cooking just because of how good it is." Tamaki sweat-dropped.
"Oh...well..." she yawned and stretched. Haruhi rubbed her eye a bit and looked up at Anne tiredly.
Anne smiled "It's important that you get your rest dear. Would you like to lie down?"
"Yeah." she nodded tiredly. "I've never been so tired in my entire life."
"That's expected" Anne smiled.
She got up and smiled. "Night." she yawned then went to her and Tamaki's bedroom.
Tamaki talked with his mother for another few hours. When it got late she went home and Tamaki returned to their bedroom.
Haruhi was fast asleep on the bed, snuggled deeply in the covers. She sighed and stretched a bit in her sleep then relaxed.
Tamaki wasn't exactly tired but he laid down anyway. He didn't mind just lying in bed with her.
She unconsciously snuggled back into him and sighed happily in her sleep. She was having a very pleasant dream by the looks of it.
He smiled wrapping his arm around her. "Goodnight Haruhi, I love you." he whispered.
"Tamaki..." she mumbled in her dream state.
He smiled and closed his eyes. Things were going extremely well for them.
