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

"You're pregnant?" Kaoru asked as he came and sat down next to her. Haruhi nodded her head.

"That's what the doctor said. She said I should still get more tests done to really confirm it, but she says that's the real reason I'm throwing up. And I will admit I've recently started to have the carvings I had when I was pregnant with Taeko." She buried her head in her hands. "I don't believe this. Here I am worrying about one child so much that I didn't even seem to notice that I was expecting another! I mean I know Kyoya and I had been trying for another, but to think I'm actually having one, it' just, it's just…"

"There, there," said Kaoru patting her back.

"Plus, I may never really see this baby's big sister again now that I've screwed up!" cried Haruhi.

"Calm down, this kind of stress won't help the baby," said Hikaru.

"Yeah, yeah, you're right," said Haruhi as she tried to stand up. Kaoru helped her.

"Why don't you just go lie down for a bit?" he suggested.

"Sure," said Haruhi as she walked to her room. "Do me a favor though, don't tell Kyoya just yet about this apparent baby. I don't want him to worry himself more as well."

"Sure," said the twins.


"It's still weird," said Kaoru.

"What?" asked Hikaru.

"Haruhi getting pregnant like that," said Kaoru, "At least this time we'll know Kyoya's the real father."

"Do you think we're being petty about the whole paternity test deal?" Hikaru asked.

"A little, especially now that Taeko's been kidnapped and is still missing. I blame myself really. If I hadn't said anything to Hunny and Mori about what the boss said, it probably wouldn't have escalated to the point of making Kyoya do it again," said Kaoru.

"No, no if we, hadn't gone and let what the boss said get to us, it probably would have died with him," said Hikaru.

"Well if you put it that way then the real one to blame in all of this is that dumb twerp Shiro for even suggesting it to the boss in the first place," said Kaoru.

"Little punk!" exclaimed Hikaru. "It makes me think we should just go and beat him up!"

"Don't bother it won't do any good," Kaoru said. "We're just as much to blame as he is."


"Kyoya, are you all right?" Tamaki asked watching his long time friend stare blankly out the window. Kyoya didn't say anything. He just continued to stare.

"Kyoya, you don't have to do this new DNA test. We should have known better than not to trust you about the true results. We accepted it then and we should just go ahead and accept it now," said Tamaki. Kyoya still didn't say anything. Tamaki looked to Hunny and Mori for help but they both just shrugged his shoulders.

Just then Hikaru and Kaoru both walked into the room.

"And where have you two been?" asked Tamaki.

Both twins looked over at Kyoya who was simply ignoring them.

"We can't say, not here anyway with Kyoya," they both said. At that Kyoya suddenly turned, grabbed his coat and stormed out of his apartment, slamming the door behind him.

"Kyoya! Kyoya wait!" shouted Tamaki running after him.

"Why couldn't you tell us what was wrong with Kyo-Chan here?" asked Hunny.

"Because we promised Haruhi we wouldn't," said Hikaru.

"Well can you at least tell us?" asked Hunny.

Both twins looked at each other.

"She pregnant," they both said.


"Kyoya! Kyoya please slow down!" said Tamaki as he ran after Kyoya, "Please Kyoya, please I'm your friend!"

"Friend?" said Kyoya, "You don't even trust me!"

"Trust you?" said Tamaki.

"You don't trust me. Hunny and Mori don't trust me. The twins don't trust me. And, worst of all, my own wife doesn't trust me! I know I'm an Ohtori, and I know we can be shady sometimes, but damn it! I thought at least after being with the six of you for so long, you would be able to trust me enough not to think that I would lie to you about a DNA test. Or enough for Haruhi to tell me she's been getting secret calls from the kidnapper demanding more money!" yelled Kyoya. Tamaki was shocked to say the least. He had only ever seen his friend blow up like this one time after they had first met.

"Kyoya… Kyoya I'm, I'm sorry," he said, "I didn't mean to…"

"To what? Judge me? Make me seem like the bad guy, like someone who wouldn't care whether or not his daughter gets rescued?" asked Kyoya.

"No one would ever think that about you Kyoya," said Tamaki.

"You all have a funny way of showing it!" said Kyoya.


RING, RING, RING

Haruhi sat up from her bed and looked over at her phone.

'That's right, I didn't give it to Kyoya did I?' she thought as she reached over and grabbed it, "Hello?"

"Where's my money?"

Haruhi gripped the phone tight in her hand.

"Where's my daughter?" she retorted.

"What are you talking about?"

"I have paid you twice and all I got was a minute conversation with her. That's not good enough anymore! If I'm going to give you money then I want my daughter back for it!" said Haruhi.

"Well someone's gotten just a little bit gutsy hasn't she?"

"Someone's just sick and fucking tired of having her daughter being held by some heartless creep like you!" said Haruhi.

"Are you saying I have no heart? I was willing to give you second chance after your husband blew it didn't I?"

"You just up and snatched my daughter away from me. You're keeping her where I can't get to her. You took her teddy bear, her only real comfort in this situation, away from her just to prove a point. You wouldn't listen to my husband's side of the story when he was trying to tell you the screw up wasn't really his fault! You made me believe that after I paid you I'd get her back, only to make me give you more money with the promise I may get her back! And all I got those two times were one minute phone conversations with her, that just made me worry about her even more then I all ready was. You call that having a heart? You don't have a heart! All you have a black soul! Now I am sick and tired of playing your games. Why don't you try playing one of mine called, CUT YOUR FUCKNG BULLSHIT AND JUST GIVE ME BACK MY LITTLE GIRL ALREADY!"

"Who's Haru-Chan yelling at in there?" Hunny asked as he and the others all ran to her room.

Haruhi could hear only soft breathing on the other end of the phone.

"Perhaps we should try this again after you've have some time to calm down and put your priorities in order."

"Don't you dare hang up on me!" Haruhi shouted.

From the other end Joji held the phone in fear. He was actually starting to feel afraid to hang up on her.

"You are not getting out of this so easily this time!" said Haruhi, "I am not going to let you control me this time! I'm not letting you win this time!"

"Haruhi who are you talking to?" Hikaru asked running into the room.

"The kidnapper," said Haruhi.

"This kidnapper?" said Hikaru grabbing the phone.

"Hey!" said Haruhi trying to get it back.

"Who is this?"

"What will it take to get Taeko back?" asked Hikaru.

"Who is this?"

"Just answer my question," said Hikaru. There was another pause on the phone.

"How much are you willing to give?"

"Anything, this is Hikaru Hitachiin and I can promise you absolutely anything for the safe return of Taeko Ohtori!" said Hikaru. There was another pause.

"Anything?"

"Yes anything!" said Hikaru. He sat there and waited as another pause came through the phone.

"I'll call you back later and ask."

"No, no!" Haruhi shouted grabbing the phone back, "You don't get to hang up until I say you do! Now he asked you a question and you are going to answer it!"

"So if I were to tell you I wanted 5,000…" Haruhi turned and looked at Hikaru who nodded his head, along with Kaoru who was standing behind his brother.

"You'll get it!" she said.

"Then I want $80,000.00,"

Haruhi took a deep breath at the number. She turned and looked at the twins who were still nodding their heads. She knew that if the current situation wasn't so serious, they'd be laughing over the irony of that particular price.

"Well?"

"I once had to pay that much for a stupid vase. So I'm sure as hell willing to pay that much for my daughter!" said Haruhi.

"Then get it from your friends and come to the same spot as before with at the same time tomorrow."

"Only on one condition," said Haruhi, "Taeko has to be there with you. I don't see her with you; you don't get the money! You got that?"

Joji's temper got higher.

"This woman sure as gotten cocky," he muttered.

"All right your brat will be there. Just make sure you have the money!"

"Oh don't worry about me! You just worry about your own ass!" said Haruhi right as she hung up.


"Are you serious going to show up tomorrow with the kid?" asked Hyota, "What about your plan of making her marrying Aito someday?"

"Shut-up, let's do this and see what happens. We're not licked yet. I'm not getting taken down by some crazed mother, let alone an Ohtori!" Joji growled. Then he got a thought.

"Well just have to set her up like we did her husband. Only this time instead of just loosing her money this time, she's going to loose something else, her life."

"You're going to kill her?" Hyota shouted jumping up in shock.

"Why not? Doing that will definitely set a good example to her stupid father that we're the ones in control," said Joji calming down at the thought.

"Yeah but murder?" said Hyota, "That's going a bit too far don't you think?"

Joji looked at Hyota.

"What's wrong with murder? It's helped solved problems in the past," he said.

"What, what are you talking about?" asked Hyota.

Joji gently tapped his cheek.

"Just trust me, this is for the best," he said.
