"Bird?" said Indria pointing to a beautiful bird in its exhibit.
"Yeah bird honey," said Haruhi looking out towards the exhibit, "Let's see that's a Scarlet Ibis looks like."
She pushed her daughter's stroller down the path of Tamaki's zoo looking at the different animals while they waited for the celebration to start and for Indria's elephant to arrive. Haruhi herself had walked down these paths plenty of times before and had already brought Indria a few times so they knew their way around pretty well. Right now they were in area that focused mostly on animals from places like Brazil.
"Let's see what's next, what's next," said Haruhi as they came to the next spot of the exhibit, "Oh a Greater Rhea. Oh looks like the eggs hatched." She stopped and picked Indria up so she could see the baby chicks better.
"Birds?" she asked again.
"Yeah bird and baby birds," said Haruhi pointing to the chicks. Indria giggled at seeing the babies.
"Hey Haruhi, how are you doing?" asked Hikaru. Haruhi turned her head and saw him his brother and sister along with his and Kaoru's girlfriends approaching her.
"Hey guys glad to see you made it," said Haruhi, "Come look, the Rhea chicks hatched."
"Oh I want to see!" said Ageha running over to the fence to look in, "Oh they're so cute!"
"Hmm its times like that I often wonder if I should have become a vet instead of a pediatrician," said Melanie, "Probably would have been more popular with the kids."
"So how much longer before this thing's suppose to start anyway?" asked Hikaru.
"I don't know," said Haruhi, "Tamaki's planning everything."
"And by Tamaki you of course mean Kyoya right?" Kaoru teased.
"Sure that's it," said Haruhi, "All I know it Tamaki told me to just go ahead and walked with Indria around the zoo before it starts so she doesn't get too restless."
"Yeah that's why we're walking around with these three as well," said Nikkei.
"Has anyone seen Mori by the way?" asked Haruhi, "I wasn't sure if he was going to Scotland with Hunny or not."
"No," said Mori suddenly walking up towards his friends.
"I'm surprised you didn't go with them Mori," said Hikaru.
"Yeah I would have thought you'd want to go with Hunny and everything," said Kaoru.
"Its fine," said Mori, "They left in a real hurry."
"Yeah that's usually how it works," said Haruhi smiling down at her daughter, "But it's worth it." She put her back into her stroller and headed off down the path with the now big group. "Have you heard from them at all?"
"Just that they landed in Scotland safely and are with Annabel's family," said Mori.
"It's nice that they actually had family there they could stay with," said Nikkei, "That makes it a lot easier."
"Yeah," said Mori agreed.
"You know I'm also curious," said Melanie, "I wonder how it's also going with Kyoya and Helen getting those twins the found in Canada."
"You don't think the band's going to be too loud and startle little Eele do you?" Tamaki asked as he and Kyoya watch the preparations.
"No I think she'll be fine," said Kyoya. He looked into the little pen they were currently keeping the baby elephant in before they let her into the main Elephant habitat. She looked fine just a little bit scared. "How was the plane ride for her?"
"The poor thing was so scared on the plane. But she did well once she got off," said Tamaki. He walked over and patted her head. "I hope she isn't too hungry. I was hoping to let Indria feed her, her first bottle. But I don't want her to starve in the process."
"I'm sure she won't starve to death between now and when you let Indria feed her," said Kyoya.
"Speaking of babies and bottles, how are things going with you and Helen getting the twins?" asked Tamaki.
"Well the only real obstacle we have besides the objection by my father and Helen's mother is making sure the orphanage picks us out of the different families that would also like to adopt the twins," said Kyoya.
"Well I can't see any reason why they shouldn't pick you two," said Tamaki, "you're both so rich and everything..,"
"Money isn't everything Tamaki," said Kyoya, "It may help but the orphanage has made it perfectly clear they aren't going to pick us based solely on our upstanding financial standings. They're looking for people that can also support the twins in the emotional sense that they will also need. That's another thing Helen and I are also working on; trying to make sure we can prove that we can offer the twins such a thing."
"I see," said Tamaki, "Well you may do a good job of hiding your feelings but I know you have them. I'm the orphanage can see that too."
"Thank you Tamaki," said Kyoya, "Excuse me."
He walked off a ways and pulled out his phone, dialing up his wife.
Helen sat in her room at her parent's home reading a book when they phone went off.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hello Helen," said Kyoya.
"Hi Kyoya how are you?" asked Helen.
"I'm well just missing my wife," said Kyoya, "How are the twins?"
"They're well," said Helen, "I spend everyday with them as long as I can. I still miss you as well. I take it you're having your elephant celebration today?"
"Yes," said Kyoya, "I do wish you and twins could have come to it."
"As do I, but when we bring the twins to Japan we'll make a big effort to take them to see her," said Helen.
"That would be most enjoyable I'm sure," said Kyoya.
"I do feel bad though that I'm not there with everyone else at the moment," said Helen.
"Well you're not the only one," said Kyoya, "Hunny and his family is currently in Scotland to finally get their daughter."
"Wonderful!" said Helen, "I look forward to seeing her as well once we return to Japan."
"Yes it will give us a proper motivation about getting our twins," said Kyoya.
"Kyoya, Kyoya will you come here and help me with this inflatable elephant," he heard Tamaki calling out.
"I should go and help the idiot," said Kyoya, "I'll call you soon dear I love you."
"I love you too, and don't feel bad for calling me up in the middle of the night. Unlike you I don't mind being woken up in the middle of the night."
"That's nice dear I hope to see you soon," said Kyoya hanging up and going back to his helpless friend.
"Whoa, that thing is freaky!" said Ageha looking at another creature, "What's it called again?"
"It's a giant anteater," said Haruhi.
"What's that thing on its back?" asked Ageha, "Is it a mutant or something?"
"No that's her baby. I think she had a boy," said Haruhi.
"A lot of babies going on today huh?" said Melanie.
"Yeah, lots of babies," said Haruhi looking between the baby anteater and her own baby. She was interrupted by a horn honking. Everyone turned around and saw tour tram on the path under them.
"Excuse me Mrs. Suoh!" called out the tour guide through his megaphone, "But Mr. Suoh sent us to find you and take to the elephant habitat."
"Alright we're coming," said Haruhi pushing Indria down to the tram. She had barley gotten Indria out when Mori seemed to swoop in and fold up and neatly put the stroller away in the back of the tram.
"Thank you Mori," said Haruhi as he also helped her on. Mori smiled at his friend. When Hunny wasn't around, it always seemed like Mori was most loyal and helpful towards Haruhi out of everyone else in their group.
When they arrived at the elephant habitat, a huge crowd was already forming. Mori was nice enough to work crowd control as he managed to help move the people apart making a path for Haruhi and the others towards the front where Tamaki and Kyoya were standing.
"Haruhi, Indria!" said Tamaki happily when she saw his family.
"Daddy!" said Indria with delight. Tamaki took his daughter into his arms before walking over to the microphone.
"Welcome all on this special day to welcome the newest resident of the Kingdom of the Wild zoo. This new arrival holds a great deal of happiness towards me and my family since in a way we're adopting her just like we adopted our precious daughter Indria also from India. So without further ado, it's my pleasure to introduce our newest baby elephant Eele," said Tamaki. Every clapped as Eele was let out of her current pin into the main exhibit. She looked around confused before lifting her trunk up and giving out a loud trumpet.
"And now to really make Eele feel welcome," said Tamaki walking into the pen with Indria. He picked up the big bottle and helped Indria put it into Eele's mouth. The little elephant drink and drink greedily from it. Indria giggled the whole time even when Eele accidentally hit her with her trunk.
"You like that Eele huh?" said Tamaki looking up at the crowd, "So what do you think folks to you think Eele's going to fit in well here?"
Everyone applauded happily over it.
Tamaki then carried Indria back out to Haruhi.
"Did you like feeding the elephant honey?" Haruhi asked.
"Eele!" said Indria pointing at her elephant.
"Yeah that's your elephant," said Haruhi. The baby was now running towards one of the ponds and splashing in it.
"It really does feel like we have a new member of family huh?" said Tamaki.
"Yeah I guess," said Haruhi, "You know when and if we adopt again I think we should adopt from Brazil."
"Why Brazil?" asked Tamaki. Haruhi shrugged hr shoulders.
"Hmm it was just a thought. I don't even know if it's going to happen," she said.
"It's too bad Hunny Annabel and Sora couldn't be here for this. I'm sure they'd love to get to see Eele," said Tamaki.
"Oh I'm sure they'll see her eventually once they return with Hannah," said Kyoya, "As well Helen when we bring our babies."
"Oh my god!" said Annabel running over to her baby, "She's so adorable!" Hannah looked at her scared clinging to the worker tighter.
"It's alright Han-Chan," Hunny tried to coax the little girl, "We're your new mommy and daddy."
"And brother!" said Sora.
"That's right," said Hunny, "all together we're your new family."
Hannah looked at him confused. She got even more confused when the woman holding her handed her off to Annabel. She made a small whimpering noise being held by a stranger like this. Hunny reached over and played a little bit with her foot.
"Hi Han-Chan" said Annabel in Scottish. Hannah looked even more confused.
"I guess that didn't work," said Annabel, "Maybe I should try a different dialect."
"She just needs to get use to you that's all," said the director, "If you want you can go and try to bond in her with her in one of our playrooms or the courtyard."
"The playroom!" said Sora.
"Plaw?" asked Hannah. Her new family gasped.
"She talked!" said Annabel happily.
"Yeah, like I said she just needs to get use to you," said the director.
"It looks like we're off to a good start then," said Hunny.
