DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM

"Daddy Hikaru will you come and sleep with me?" Hisano asked tugging at her father's hand.

"No come sleep with me!" said Mitsu tugging at Hikaru's other arm.

"How about I sleep with the two of you tonight?" suggested Hikaru.

"How are you feeling Hikaru, seriously?" asked Haruhi.

"I'm fine for now," said Hikaru, "I'll go see a doctor in the morning to get looked over alright?"

"Alright," muttered Haruhi, "Come on Mitsu, Hisano. Let's go get you into your pajamas so we can all get some sleep."

"Yes Mommy," said the twins racing out of the room.

"See you two in the big room," said Haruhi running after her kids. Kaoru was about to follow her when he realized his brother wasn't with him. He turned around and saw Hikaru standing next Benjiro's crib. He had a real solemn look on his face.

"Hikaru are you okay?" Kaoru asked walking up to his brother and tapping his shoulder.

"Yeah I'm fine," said Hikaru, "I just wanted some time with the babies that's all."

Kaoru nodded.

"Well try not to take long. I'm pretty sure Hisano and Mitsu would get upset if you didn't come and sleep with them like you said you would," he said.

"Yeah, yeah I'll be there soon," said Hikaru not looking up from Benjiro.

Kaoru slowly creped out of the room so as not to disturbed Hikaru and his moment with the baby he was looking over in his crib.

"Where's Daddy Hikaru?! We Want Daddy Hikaru!" Hisano and Mitsu kept shouting as they jumped up and down on their parents' big bed, "We Won't Go To Bed Until We Get Daddy Hikaru!"

Haruhi tried to get her hands on them but they were moving too fast for her to really get her hands on them. Kaoru stood off to the side chuckling slightly at the sight.

"Kaoru can't you help at all?" she asked.

"Oh I don't know. I think you're doing fine," replied Kaoru with a smirk.

Haruhi groaned as the kept trying to wrestle her kids down.

"Hey someone looking for me?" Hikaru asked walking into the room finally.

"Hi Daddy Hikaru," said Hisano and Mitsu; the two of them immediately stopped jumping and instead stood on the bed looking innocent with their hands behind their backs.

"Oh look at my little angles," said Hikaru. He walked over to the edge of the bed and hugged them tight. "Such sweet kids never doing things like jumping up and down on beds."

"That's right Daddy Hikaru," said the little boy and girl.

"Oh brother," muttered Haruhi.

"Come on Daddy Hikaru," said Hisano.

"Come to bed!" said Mitsu. Both tried pulling Hikaru down onto the bed.

"Let Daddy Hikaru go get dressed first then he'll come straight to be alright?" said Hikaru shaking off his two kids and heading towards his room. He came back in a few seconds later all dressed for bed. "I don't know about the rest of you but I am Tired!" Both children giggled. Hikaru slowly crawled onto the bed and straight to the middle that was usually Haruhi's spot. He made sure to switch his pillow with Haruhi's. Both Hisano and Mitsu hugged Hikaru tight and lay down next to him. Hikaru held them close against him smiling brightly.

"Hmm," hummed Kaoru, "That looks so sweet. I almost think we should just leave the three of them be."

"But," said Haruhi knowing he was going somewhere with what he just said.

"But I also want to be near my brother right now," said Kaoru.

"Yeah me too," said Haruhi. Both quietly and quickly crawled into the bed, sandwiching their two children between them and Hikaru.

"Good night Haruhi," Kaoru whispered from one side of the bed.

"Good night Kaoru," Haruhi whispered back. She looked over her shoulder at the edge of the bed.

"Something wrong Haruhi?" Kaoru asked.

"I've never been on the outside of a sandwich like this before in this bed that's all," Haruhi whispered. Kaoru chuckled. She was right. Usually she was the one in the center of a family sandwich.

"You going to be okay there on the edge like that than?" he teased softly.

"Yes," muttered Haruhi. Kaoru watched her for a little bit as she son feel asleep. Satisfied he too found himself getting caught up by sleep.

The next morning when Haruhi woke up the first thing she noticed was that Hikaru wasn't in-between the two little ones.

"What the?" she said softly sitting up in surprise. The middle of the bed was messy like someone had slept there but there was no body anywhere in sight. She looked down and was slightly relieved to see she hadn't waked Hisano with all her excitement over not seeing Hikaru in bed with the rest of them. She carefully got out of bed and looked around. She didn't hear anything coming from the bathroom or from the walk in closet. She looked into Hikaru's room and there was nothing. She even walked into Kaoru's room and still there was no sign of Hikaru.

'Where could he be?' she thought. Then it hit her. 'He's probably with the babies!' She walked out as quietly as she could and headed towards the nursery. The minute she got in she was greeted with a, "Shh." She looked over to the first rocking chair where she saw Hikaru rocking back and forth holding all three babies in his arms. "I just got them to sleep."

"They woke up?" asked Haruhi in alarm. She hadn't heard anything.

"Relax Haruhi," Hikaru assured her as if he knew what she was thinking. "I was already in the room when they started waking up and it turns out all they needed was a good rocking."

"Oh I see," said Haruhi, not hiding her sigh of relief. "How did you manage to get all three up on your own?"

"Very carefully," said Hikaru.

"Hmm okay I suppose," said Haruhi, "But how did you also get out of the bed without anyone hearing you and not waking any of us."

"Oh that's a trade secret Haruhi," said Hikaru, "And I'm afraid I can't tell you."

"Why not?" Haruhi inquired sternly.

"Because if I did, anytime Kaoru and I wanted to cuddle with you in bed you'd use it for your own greedy selfish needs," teased Hikaru, "Like coming to spend time with these little rascals."

"So instead you're going to put up with me just shouting at the two of you to move?" asked Haruhi. Hikaru's eyes widen at the memories of Haruhi loud yells to get him or Kaoru to move.

"I'm still not teaching you the trick," he declared.

"Fine whatever," muttered Haruhi. She walked over and knelt in front of Hikaru, rubbing the tops of her babies' heads. "They sure do look sweet don't they?"

"Yeah they do," Hikaru agreed, "Why can't they stay like this forever?"

"Because if they did then you wouldn't be able to have fun with them like Hisano and Mitsu," Haruhi pointed out.

"Well if the two of them have that covered then I see no problem with those two covering the fun part of having kids with these three staying like this," Hikaru declared.

"That's not going to happen Hikaru," Haruhi informed him.

"Yeah I know," muttered Hikaru looking at his three babies, "Eventually you and your brother and sister will have to grow up and face evil people who do evil things to you just because they want something they can't have!" Haruhi jumped at Hikaru sudden mood change. She saw that his face was now pale and hurt. Clearly he was upset about what had happened to him.

"Hikaru, do you want to talk about what happened?" she asked.

"No not here anyway," he said, "I don't want to get more upset then I already am around the babies, happy thoughts around babies only!"

"Right sure," said Haruhi. She continued to stroke her babies' hair or lack there of as Hikaru kept rocking them back and forth. Time seem to freeze around them until finally Haruhi found herself standing up do to be uncomfortable with kneeling for so long. Hikaru looked up at her as she stretched a little. He wanted to hold her all of a sudden. However he couldn't move around much seeing as he was still holding all three babies. Haruhi noticed him moving around so she took it upon herself to take at least two babies from him, giving him one free arm that he was able to use push himself up from the chair.

"Alright you little scamp, back into your cell," said Hikaru laying his baby down into his crib. Haruhi shook her head and put her two daughters into their cribs as well.

"Much better," she said kissing each on their foreheads.

"Yeah much better," she heard Hikaru mutter. She turned around in time to suddenly get caught up in his arms and kissed hard and passionately. She was a little bit startled at first but soon started to relax and return the kiss. She couldn't admit it but she had wanted more kisses from Hikaru now that he was back safe. For some reason it felt like getting a kiss from him would help her feel that Hikaru wouldn't ever leave her or the family like that again.

Hikaru continued to press himself up against Haruhi and Haruhi's legs buckled. If she didn't know better she could have swore Hikaru really wanted her, unless…,"

"Hikaru," she said softly pushing him away, "If you're thinking what I think you're thinking we can't do it! At least not here, not in the baby's room!"

"No problem!" said Hikaru gripping her arm tight and leading out her of the room.

The two of them ran down to Hikaru's room.

"Are you sure this is a good idea Hikaru?!" Haruhi asked right before Hikaru's lips came into contact with hers.

"Frankly my dear I don't give a damn!" quoted Hikaru trailing kisses down her next.

"I'm only asking because the twins and Kaoru are in the next room and I don't want the kids to hear anything," Haruhi tried to explain as Hikaru kept kissing her neck.

"Well if you're that worried I can fix that," said Hikaru. Again he pulled out of the room and the next thing Haruhi knew they were in a random guest room. Hikaru was getting more and more aggressive as he kept trying to kiss her and touch her. She didn't seem to remember him being this aggressive before. She could barley shout out his full name like she usually did when the two of them were together.

After a while Hikaru laid on top of Haruhi holding her close, tighter then she'd ever been felt before.

"Hikaru it's okay to be upset about what happened," she said to him, "We were all upset about you disappearing."

"I thought I was never going to see you or anyone else I loved again," Hikaru muttered into her neck. He hugged her tighter and Haruhi was sure she could hear him fighting tears. "I really thought they were going to keep me for a long, long time."

"Was that what they threatened, that they were going to hold you hostage for as long as they wanted to?" asked Haruhi. Hikaru didn't say anything. Instead he moved his face until it was mere inches from Haruhi's. The two of them looked deep into each others' eyes before Hikaru moved down to kiss her lips again.

"I will tell you everything after a while," Hikaru promised, "But thanks for helping me to get out what I did for now."

"Of course," said Haruhi, "so what are you going to do about Walker and his company?"

"I think Kaoru had a good idea with shutting it down. It's cost more money then it's worth to keep it going," said Hikaru.

"Actually it was Lei's idea," Haruhi told him.

"Oh really?" said Hikaru, "Good now I feel even better with the idea of leaving her in charge while I'm at home with Kaoru and the babies."

"She's a good person," said Haruhi, "She was just as upset over you being missing as the rest of us."

"That reminds me," said Hikaru as he finally got off of Lei, "She was trying to ask me something before I left. Did she say what it was she wanted?"

I think she may have said something to Kaoru," said Haruhi.

"Well I better go find her and ask her or go ask Kaoru," said Hikaru as he started to get out of bed.

"Right now?" Haruhi asked.

"Is something wrong with that?" asked Hikaru.

"I just, I just want to lay with you here right now for a little bit like this," said Haruhi. Hikaru responded by hugging her tight.

"Sure, it's not like I have anything else better to do or better place to be," he said, "This is just fine with me. I love you Haruhi."

"I love you too," said Haruhi softly. Normally she'd added that she loved Kaoru too just like she would mention she loved Hikaru whenever Kaoru said he loved her too like that. But this time she decided it was best to let it just be Hikaru and her time.
