Haruhi's Progress-3 Months
I've always been a light sleeper. I got woken up by the tiniest things- Hikaru rolling over, talking in his sleep, etc. That's actually what has happened whenever I tell Hikaru he pushed me off the bed nine times out of ten. Sometimes, he actually would push me out but most of the time when I couldn't sleep because of his incessant moving around I would simply get out of bed and lie down on the floor, uncomfortable as it was.
This is why that at two in the morning about a week after confessing to Yuri, I woke up to the feeling of covers being tossed back. I woke up, feeling the bed shift and hearing the pats of feet running to the bathroom. I sat up and looked toward the bathroom, saw a light switch on and heard the door close. I got out of bed and crossed the room, pressing my ear to the door.
It sounded like she was sick. "Haruhi? Are you alright?" She didn't answer and I decided to just go ahead and go in. She was kneeling in front of the toilet. I got down beside her and rubbed her back awkwardly. She stopped after a few minutes and leaned against the side of the bathtub.
"Are you okay?" I sat next to her.
"Yeah, its just morning sickness." She leaned her head against the wall, looking exhausted. We'd only been asleep for a couple of hours since we had both been working on an essay for our English class.
I nodded. "Do you need anything?"
She shook her head. "No, go back to bed. I'll be there in a few minutes; I'm going to see if maybe it comes back."
I got up from the floor and went to the door of the bathroom. Before going back into Hikaru's bedroom, I turned around to face her. "You know that I'm here for you, right?"
She looked confused. "Yeah, of course."
"Then why won't you let me help you? I know that you miss Hikaru and you wish that he were here with you and taking care of you instead of me, but I'm supposed to take care of you while he's gone. He told me that, remember?"
"I know. I don't need anything, Kaoru. Go back to bed."
She seemed very irritated with me. Probably mood swings or something. I wouldn't back down though. "No, Haruhi." I thought back to the other night when I overheard her on the phone. She was talking to her doctor, setting up an appointment for the next week. That night when she and Hikaru were talking, she told him about the appointment and said that she wished he were here to go with her. I just couldn't understand why she didn't ask me if she knew I was here for her. "You do need something. I heard you the other night talking to Hikaru. I know you want someone to go with you to the appointment, so why didn't you ask me? You know I'm here for you, so why wouldn't you let me help?"
She sighed. "I didn't want to cause you a burden. My appointment is during school tomorrow. As if it isn't bad enough that I have to miss school, you shouldn't have to as well."
"You're like my sister. You would never be a burden, Haruhi."
Haruhi's Progress- 5 months
I took Haruhi to the doctor every two weeks. She had to go more often than most because of her age and the fact that she was carrying twins. Yuri and I went out together a lot, though we were still kind of awkward around each other, like we didn't really know how to act.
At the host club, things were hectic as usual, with Tamaki and the new hosts being the way they are. Haruhi decided long ago, when she first found out that she was going to be keeping the twins, that she would stay in the club as long as she possibly could until someone recognized that she was pregnant. If anyone said anything, then she would just take over simple cleaning duties, as long as they didn't pose a very serious threat to her or the twins. We all knew the day would come, however, when she would be discovered.
The day started as normal as ever. Haruhi sat with a few of our customers at a table. Haruhi and Aki were hosting four teenage boys at their table, when all of a sudden one of the boys, Natsumo, began to stare at her midsection.
"Ne, Haru-chan? Is it okay if I ask you a question?"
She smiled. "Of course, Natsumo-kun."
"Well, I was just wondering - and don't take this the wrong way or anything - but has your stomach…grown?"
The effect of this question was immediate. Everyone in the room stopped talking altogether and Aki simply got off of the couch and excused herself to go get more tea. Tamaki rose from his seat on one of the couches nearby and ran to Haruhi's table.
"No! How dare you ask a woman such a question! You will be henceforth banned from all Host Club acivities!" He yelled.
"Tamaki." Haruhi touched his hand, making him look to her. "It's fine. Really." She got up and everyone looked to her. She took off her jacket, which had been making her appear as if she were still the same size for the last few months. Her baby bump was easily viewable through her school shirt. "I'm very sorry that I didn't tell all of you this, but Hikaru and I are going to be having a baby." Everyone sat there in complete shock, especially Natsumo, who most likely had a crush on Haruhi or something. "Twins, actually." She corrected herself.
The room was completely and utterly silent. Haruhi looked like all she wanted was to run out of the room as quick as possible. I went to her and put an arm around her waist to show my support.
One of the girls in the back decided to speak up. "Is that why Hikaru-sama had to leave?"
I nodded. "Yes. He was supposed to study in France with me when we graduated but since they're having children he's going to go early so that he doesn't have to leave after the twins are born."
The room went dead quiet yet again. Everyone just stared. A few seconds later, Kyouya appeared by Haruhi's side. "If any of you have a problem with Haruhi and Hikaru's current situation, that is fine. As for the members of the club, we are prepared to protect them. If you do not wish to protect them, I suggest you leave."
Only a few of the customers got up to leave. Within the next day, the news of Haruhi and my brother's love-child(ren) had gone viral.
