[Kaoru's POV]

We all stood in Teruko's room in the hospital. She was connected to so many machines, all of them to keep her alive.

"Sir," the doctor said to Tamaki. "We just got in contact with her doctor. He informed us that she has been refusing a surgery that could stop all of this."

"Did he say why?" Tamaki asked.

"Because her first surgery put me in debt Tamaki," a woman said, coming into the room. She had blonde hair and looked a lot like Tamaki. Behind her was Éclair. "Your grandmother had paid for the operation where I couldn't."

Tears fell down Tamaki Sempai's cheeks.

"Teruko had to go to Japan after, as a new person. She was supposed to take over the company in case you couldn't…"

"Mother," Tamaki Sempai whispered.

"She wasn't supposed to have any contact with you Tamaki," Tamaki's mother said, walking over to him and giving him a hug. "But you know your sister…Always fighting for her brother."

"She's going to die mother," Tamaki said into her shoulder.

"I'll pay for her surgery," I told Tamaki.

He and his mother both looked at me.

"And I'll pay off the debt for her last surgery."

"Kaoru…" Hikaru trailed off.

"Why?" Tamaki asked.

I smiled sadly. "Because at some point, I fell in love with Teruko Sempai."

"What are you going to do ma'am?" the doctor asked Tamaki's mother.

She looked at me. I gave her a smile and nodded.

"I…We want her to have the surgery. None of us want to lose her." She let go of Tamaki and leaned over her daughter's bed. "She's just too important to all of us."

The doctor nodded his head. "I'll have to ask you all to leave the room while we prepare her for surgery then."

We all left the room, Tamaki and his mother the last ones out, and waited in the waiting room.

"How did you know about Teruko?" Tamaki asked his mother, hugging her from the chair beside her.

"Éclair told me," she said, looking at Éclair. She looked uncomfortable sitting in the waiting room with all of us.

"I felt horrible," she said, looking down at her lap. "I was the one who made Teruko act as she did before she left the host club. Even after everything I did, when we arrived in France, she treated me as though I were her real lover. She smiled at me, told me about how she'd do anything just so Tamaki could live his life the way he wanted, told me she didn't want to go through surgery because it would cost too much. Before she had gotten hit, we were on our way back to my house to find her medicine."

"You wouldn't have found it," Kyoya Sempai told her. He took the bottle out of his pocket. "She left it behind when she had taken off her jacket."

Éclair stared at the bottle. "If she dies, it'll be my fault."

"It's not," Tamaki mother said. She smiled at Éclair. "You were still trying to help her. And you even called me to let me know, a mere maid, that my daughter had gotten hurt."

"Maid?" Tamaki asked.

"She lives in my home," Éclair told her. "In the beginning I was going to give you a chance to see her Tamaki, but then Teruko took your place. Your grandmother wouldn't allow them to see each other, so Teruko would've been living alone under watch. But now that you know the truth…"

"I can't believe Grandmother did this," Tamaki stated, staring at the floor.

"I can," I said, sitting back in my chair. "I've seen her once, and still can't put this past her."

[Teruko's POV]

I let out a cough, opening my eyes and seeing white above me. "How am I still alive?"

"Because I paid for your surgery."

I looked to my right, seeing Kaoru. I looked to my left and saw the host club, Éclair, and mother.

A smile crossed my lips as I closed my eyes again. "It has to be a dream. I have to be dead."

"Will this convince you otherwise?"

I opened my eyes, only to see Kaoru's face above mine. He leaned down and kissed me on the lips for a moment before pulling back.

"I think I need more convincing," I let out, causing the others in the room to laugh.

"She's back to normal alright," Hikaru stated.

I looked at my mother. She was smiling at me.

"I missed you Mother."

"I missed you too sweetie," she told me, stepping forward so she could sit in the chair beside my bed. She put her hand on mine, which I noticed had a needle in it. "You should've gotten the surgery sooner though."

"I didn't want to put you more into debt…I didn't want to be anyone's burden."

"You weren't a burden," Tamaki told me, coming around to the other side, where Kaoru stood, and grabbing my other hand. "You took all of our burdens on yourself…We missed you so much."

I let out a small laugh, not a chuckle, but an actual laugh. My real laugh. "But I'm not me just yet." I lifted my right hand, my mom letting go, to my left eye then my right eye. I stared at everyone in the room around me, my vision no longer blurry and my contacts on my fingers.

"That would explain why you never wanted anything in your eyes," Kyoya stated.

"I had to cut my hair, dye it, and keep contacts in my eyes at all times…I was Teruko Noaki…" I closed my hands around the hard contacts, breaking them in my palm. "But not anymore, since everyone knows the truth." I looked at Tamaki. "What about Grandmother. Does she know?"

He shook his head. "But she will. I'm sure she'll notice that Mother's debt is completely paid off."

I let my head rest against my pillow, staring up at the ceiling. "I guess I can let my hair go back to normal then. I missed my blonde hair."

Mother brushed some hair away from my forehead. "It was always so beautiful on you."

"I have a question," Tamaki said, staring at my hand.

"Yes?"

"You were hit by that car years ago…How did you immediately start gymnastics right after? It wasn't that long after I started school at Ouran that you were becoming well known for your gymnastics, so it wasn't long after you had gotten hit."

I smiled sadly. "Can't you guess? I was dosed up so strongly with medicine I didn't feel the pain. Grandmother wanted me to become someone new, someone I hadn't been before."

"You know, I guess twins always do things together," I told Tamaki as we took a plane back to Japan a week later. We'd be back to visit Mother when we'd like. Grandmother couldn't stop us anymore.

Éclair would continue letting Mother stay at her house, since she would still need someone with her just in case.

"Hmm?" Tamaki looked up at me. He had been looking out the window.

"We both fell in love with underclassmen." A smile crossed my lips as I stared across the isle at the people I was talking about.

Hikaru and Kaoru, as usual, were on either side of Haruhi. All three of them were asleep.

Tamaki looked over at them. "Yeah…I guess they do. I guess we're more like Hikaru and Kaoru than we thought."

"Older sibling always caring for the younger."

"You're older than Tama-chan?" Honey Sempai asked, looking over the seat behind Tamaki.

I nodded my head. "By a few minutes."

"That's something I didn't know," Kyoya said from behind me.

"Yep. Since we were little I always watched out for this knucklehead."

"I have a question Teru-chan," Honey Sempai said. I saw Mori Sempai turn his head slightly, probably listening. He was sitting right behind Tamaki, at one point having been across from Honey Sempai. That was before Honey Sempai decided to use that seat to step on to talk to us.

"What is it?"

"If you left for France, how did you leave that figurine for us to find?"

"Oh, I asked one of my maids to do it. I gave her specific orders not to leave it until after the fireworks. I knew she'd do as I asked because she was the one who always took care of me."

"Are you going to continue doing gymnastics?" Kyoya asked. "Since you no longer have to be another person."

"Yeah, but not as strongly as before. Despite the fact I had been forced to form a whole new person out of myself, I do enjoy gymnastics. But I'm no longer spending hours on end practicing. Being flexible is actually more fun than it looks."

Tamaki seemed to be thinking of something. "Are you going to stay in the host club?"

I frowned. "Did you not want me to? I may be going back to my old self, but I can keep my hair short for a while longer." My frown turned into a smile. "Besides, I have to keep you out of trouble."

"You act like I get in trouble all the time."

All of us awake looked at him.

"I'm not that bad!"

I laughed. "Yeah right!"

I heard a moan.

"What's happening?" Haruhi asked, waking up.

"Sorry," I apologized. "My loud mouth woke you up."

She seemed to get her bearings back, and her face was that of annoyance when she realized both twins fell asleep on her.

"You might as well let them sleep. From what I heard they deserve it. Kyoya told me they were the ones who managed to keep me alive until the hospital."

"They brought you back," he corrected. "And kept you alive until the paramedics arrived."

"Same thing." I waved him off. "Let them sleep until we get back to Japan. I can't wait for everything to go back to normal. I actually miss the school right about now. And I kinda miss my customers. I'm sure they'll be delighted to see me."

"Wait, didn't you quit school?" Haruhi asked. "I remember Tamaki's dad telling me, but with everything happening, I completely forgot until now. How can you be in the host club still?"

I smiled. "I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind me coming back to school."

Tamaki laughed a bit. "I'm sure that'll be a big shock to him."

"Along with hearing Grandmother kept me a secret from him. I'm sure she'll pretty much hate me though, since everyone knows, I have ways of keeping both of us in touch with Mother, and I'm not under her control anymore. The only way she ever had anything over me was dangling Tamaki's chance to see our Mother over my head. I kept my grades high, I came running when she visited the house, I showed her absolute respect, I agreed to a marriage to another woman…All to let Tamaki live his life. Since he can see our mother now, Mother's out of debt, and Grandmother still needs an heir to the company, she can't do anything. She just has to let things go as they are." I grinned. "My strings were finally cut from her."

"So you're not going to take over the company?" Tamaki asked me.

I shook my head. "It's all you, unless you don't want it. I won't take it from you if you want it."

"I want to take over it with you," he told me with a smile.

I rolled my eyes. "So corny." A giggle escaped my lips. "But I guess that's why I love you."

"You may now kiss the bride."

Kaoru leaned forward, taking my face between both of his hands and kissing me on the lips. Both of our eyes were closed as we heard cheers around us.

We pulled apart, our eyes open as we smiled at each other.

"Congratulations sweetie," Dad told me, kissing the top of my head.

"Thanks Dad, but I'm kinda surprised you haven't killed my husband yet."

He laughed out loud. "I wanted you to enjoy today. I'll do it tomorrow."

"Hey!" Kaoru shouted, his eyes wide. "I didn't do anything!"

Mother laughed, walking over and kissing him on the cheek. "I'm sure her big belly had nothing to do with you."

"I dunno, it was dark," I told her. "It might've been Hikaru for all we know."

"You know I wasn't there," said twin said, coming over with the rest of the host club. "You two took off when we got to the hotel. The rest of us were playing cards in the lobby."

"We were playing cards too," I tried lying.

"Sempai, we all know that's not true," Haruhi told me.

I hit her shoulder gently. "Stop calling me 'Sempai.' We're going to be in-laws soon. Call me sister!" I hugged her to me in a tight squeeze.

"Teruko!" Kaoru and Tamaki pulled Haruhi and I apart. Kaoru gave me a look. "I told you to stop doing that while you're pregnant."

"And whose fault is that? You told me you had a surprise." I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Oh it was a surprise alright," Hikaru said with a snort.

"I have one for you then," I told Kaoru. "It's twins. A boy and girl."

"What?" everyone shouted.

I stared at all of them. "Seriously guys? And you too Mom and Dad? We're both twins, does it surprise you that much that we're going to have twins."

"Damn Kaoru, when you do a job, you do it right!" Hikaru slapped Kaoru, red in the face, on the shoulder.

I laughed. "How do you know it wasn't me who's downright awesome? I may be the reason we're having twins…I am the one carrying the little kiddies after all." I held my belly, giving Haruhi a look. "Now…what about you Haruhi?"

"What about me?" she asked.

"Come on. We all know you and Tamaki have shared a room once or twice. Anything going on I should know about? Any nieces or nephews on their way?"

"Teruko!" Tamaki shouted, his and Haruhi's faces red.

I shrugged. "Just was wondering." I looked at my parents. "Mommy! Daddy! Tamaki has been doing naughty things again!"

"Teruko!"

"Love you little brother." I grinned at him before turning to my husband. "Now Kaoru, I'm hungry."

He sighed. "Alright…I'll be right back guys." He left in search of food for me.

"How long do you think you have left Teru-chan?" Honey Sem…I mean Honey…asked.

"I'd say maybe a month, based on the size of her stomach," Kyoya told him.

I stared at him. "Always the ever knowing one…Yeah, Doctor Ryuu gave me another month…I wanted to be married before I had my first kid." I looked at my dad. "Unlike someone I know."

He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. "I loved your mother very much Teruko."

"Her mother is standing right beside you," Mom told him.

"Daddy's in trouble!" I sang.

"So, have you decided what you're naming them sweetie?" Mom asked, ignoring Dad. He pouted.

I smiled at her. "Sophie Anne and Richard Yuzuru."

Everyone stared at me.

I pointed at my mom. "Mom's first name backwards from that little hyphen that I never understood." I pointed at Tamaki. "Tamaki's middle name." And I finally pointed at my dad. "And my dad's name. Kaoru couldn't think of anything and asked what I thought."

"I agreed with it so she had her whole family with her," Kaoru said from behind me. He hugged me from behind, a plate with cake on it in one of his hands. I took it from him as he rubbed my belly, and I started eating. He rested his head on my shoulder and I fed him a piece of cake.

"And obviously they're going to be Hitachiins. And they won't have these really long and confusing names like Tamaki and I." I took another bite of my cake. "Oh, and I'm putting them both in dresses!" I took another bite as everyone stared at me. I grinned at Hikaru. "Yeah, Kaoru told me about it…Can't let my kids pass up on the same chance their father had, now can I?"

"Your kids are going to suffer," Dad told me.

"I'm going to make sure to smother them when they visit," Mom added with a smile.

"I feel bad for them already," Hikaru said with a sigh.

"Yeah," Mori agreed.

"I love how the whole time, you only agreed to that," I told Mori.
