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

Kaoru woke up and was surprise to see he was all alone in the bed.

'What the?' he thought, confused. Then he heard the shower going in the next room and relaxed back onto the bed. He couldn't believe he had thought for a moment Haruhi had up and bailed on him as a joke. Haruhi wasn't like that. She was kind and caring, and forgiving. Kaoru still couldn't believe how easily Haruhi had forgiven him for what he did, even if it resulted in her having to go through five years of a harsh marriage with a cold hearted bastard. How could she be so forgiving like that, when he was having a hard time forgiving himself even before he found out what had been happing to her and her daughter? No wait, not her daughter, their daughter! That was another thing he couldn't believe, Kotoko was his daughter. The thought brought a smile to his face, he was a father. But at the same time, he hadn't been there for her for last five years, especially when she needed him. Instead she had grown up with the man that made her think that all fathers yelled and hit people. What kind of life was that for a little girl?

Well that's all going to change now. He wasn't 100% sure how, but he was going to make it up to Kotoko and to Haruhi and make sure their life was better from here on out.

Just then he heard his cell phone going off.

'Damn it, what does he want?' Kaoru thought as he looked around the room for his pants and pulled out his cell phone.

"Hello Hikaru, what's up?" he asked as he sat back down on the bed.

"I wanted to know everything's going okay. Haruhi never came back last night so I figured either A, she forgave you or B, she killed you," said Hikaru.

"No Hikaru she didn't kill me. She actually forgave me," said Kaoru.

"Really?" asked Hikaru.

"Yeah, in fact not only did she willing forgive me, she actually had some really interesting news for me," said Kaoru.

"Oh yeah what?" asked Hikaru.

"I'll tell you when we get home. I want to tell you face to face," said Kaoru.

"Hmm okay then," said Hikaru, "See you when you get home."

"Yeah, see you then," said Kaoru. Just then he heard the shower stop and a few minutes later, Haruhi walked back into the room in a bathrobe. Kaoru smiled and moved to the edge of the bed.

"There she is," he said stretching out his arm and pulling her down onto the bed with him, resting his forehead on hers, "The beautiful woman who's the mother of my child." Haruhi sighed happily and gave Kaoru a kiss.

"I don't know about you but I had a wonderful time last night," said Kaoru as he started to kiss her neck.

"Hmm, yeah, last night was pretty special," said Haruhi wrapping her arms around Kaoru's neck.

"You know, I'm curious, just what was it was that made you fall for over say the boss or Hikaru?" asked Kaoru in between kisses

"Do you really want to know?" asked Haruhi.

"No lie to me," said Kaoru.

"You were the last resort," said Haruhi.

"Hey, that's mean!" said Kaoru pulling away pretending to be mad. Haruhi giggled.

"But if you really want to know, I guess it was because even though you were quite often a little devil like Hikaru and there were times you cold be just as childish as Tamaki, you always came off as the more mature one. You figured out when enough was enough first and knew when to stop or back off. I'm not saying that I didn't eventually grow to like your little childish side or little devil side but it was also nice to see you could handle yourself better," said Haruhi.

"Hmm, interesting," said Kaoru.

"So then what was it that made you fall for me?" asked Haruhi.

"Haruhi, I get started on that, we'd be here until Kotoko's in college!" said Kaoru. "And I don't know about you but I don't want to miss another moment watching our daughter grow up!" Haruhi gave a giggle again.

"Speaking of which, we should probably get home and check on her," said Haruhi.

"Yeah you're right, I promise Hikaru I'd tell him the good news in person and he's probably pacing around the mansion waiting for me to come home and tell him," said Kaoru. But then Haruhi saw his devil smile appear.

"But then again I'm in no real big hurry to get home," he said, giving Haruhi a kiss and gently laying her back onto the bed.

"Kaoru, I just got out of the shower," said Haruhi as Kaoru started kissing various parts of her face, neck and shoulder.

"I know, and I can't believe you didn't bother to wait for me!" said Kaoru trying to sound mad.

"But I took it to get clean," said Haruhi.

"And you're point is?" asked Kaoru as he started kissing her again.

"Kaoru stop!" Haruhi said. Kaoru quickly sat up.

"What, what's wrong?" he asked startled.

"I just wanted to see if you would stop I asked," said Haruhi.

"Oh course I would, why wouldn't I?" asked Kaoru. "Hey wait a minute; this doesn't have any thing to do with Rai does it?" Haruhi sighed.

"It's not like he's wouldn't stop if I ask him to, but he'd defiantly make me feel bad for asking for him to," said Haruhi.

"Hmm, another thing to hate about him, I'll make sure it to the list," said Kaoru. "And as for you, I don't want you to ever think about those evil things he did to you ever again. You're with me now, and I'm going to treat you right!" Haruhi smiled and sat up and kissed him.

"Thank you Kaoru," she said.


"Welcome home Master Kaoru and Miss Haruhi," said Emi when the two of them finally made it home, their arms around each other. "Master Hikaru has been waiting anxiously for your return."

"Oh I bet he has," said Kaoru. "You wouldn't happen to know if my parents are still here do you?"

"Yes sir I believe they are. Would you like me to go and get them?" asked Emi.

"Yes please do, and have them meet me in whatever room Hikaru is in. Which one is he in?" asked Kaoru.

"He's in his office," said Emi.

"Oh perfect," said Kaoru. He looked down at Haruhi.

"No offense or anything but this is something I want to tell him alone if that's okay? We can tell my parents together if you want," he said.

"No that's fine, you just let me know when yore parents are ready," said Haruhi. Kaoru nodded and walked off to Hikaru's office.


Hikaru sat at his desk dribbling his fingers on the table. He looked up excited when Kaoru came in.

"Hey about time you got home!" he said jumping up and walking over to Kaoru. "So what happen? What's this big news you wanted to tell me?"

"Well it's actually quite interesting," said Kaoru as he took a seat in a near by chair. "I spent most of the night working up the courage to tell her the truth, until we got to back to the hotel and I finally managed to tell her."

"I take it she took okay?" asked Hikaru sitting on the edge of his desk.

"Oh yeah, in fact she actually started to laugh!" said Kaoru.

"She laughed?" said Hikaru.

"Yeah, mainly because she had wanted to talk to me about what happen at the party too," said Kaoru. "Haruhi noticed the similarity between Dad and Kotoko and it got her to thinking, she and I slept together around the same time she slept with Rai and got pregnant. So she went had Kyoya help her do a DNA test."

"A DNA test?" said Hikaru.

"Yep and she got the results back a little while ago and it came back saying that I'm Kotoko's real father!" said Kaoru.

"What?" said Hikaru.

"I'm Kotoko's real father, me, I'm her dad, not son-of-a-bitch Rai!" said Kaoru.

"Oh my god, really? That's awesome!" said Hikaru.

"I know right? I couldn't even believe it a first myself. Haruhi even offered to show me the DNA test results to help prove it. She has them in her office apparently and to be perfectly honest, I'm almost tempted to get them framed and put onto the wall!" said Kaoru.

"Get what framed?" asked their mom walking into the room with their dad.

"Oh hi Mom, hi Dad," said Kaoru.

"Emi said you wanted to see us. What's going on?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Why don't you two have a seat right there and he'll tell you," said Hikaru pointing to a couch that was also in the office.

"So what's going on boys?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Um I'll tell you but first, where's Haruhi?" asked Kaoru about to stand up.

"I'm right here," said Haruhi walking into the room and standing next to Kaoru's chair.

"Okay now that Haruhi's here, what's going on Kaoru?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Well it's kind of complicated," said Kaoru as he confessed his actions at the Good-By party.

"You slept Haruhi and then abandon her! Oh my God!" said Mrs. Hitachiin. Mr. Hitachiin looked at Kaoru mad and disappointed.

"I thought we taught you boys better then that!" said Mrs. Hitachiin.

"Yes I will admit it wasn't one of my finer moments," said Kaoru.

"But there is something good that came from it," said Haruhi as she told them about noticing the similarities between Mr. Hitachiin and Kotoko and how it provoke her to get the DNA test done.

"And what were the results?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin. Kaoru and Haruhi looked and each and smiled before looking at his parents.

"I'm Kotoko's real father!" said Kaoru. His parents both stared at the two of them for a moment with their own shocked looks on their faces.

"You mean Kotoko is really our biological granddaughter?" said Mrs. Hitachiin. Kaoru and Haruhi both nodded. Mrs. Hitachiin gave a scream like a high school girl.

"I can't believe that precious little girl is really my granddaughter!" she said excitedly as she jumped up and hug Haruhi.

"Oh this is so exciting! I don't know what to do first! Oh I know I should go call my mother!" Mrs. Hitachiin ran out the room excitedly.

"Yes this is real good news," said Mr. Hitachiin standing up smiling proudly. "Not only is it exciting that we have a grandchild, but we also have an heir to pass on this family's legacy."

"Oh yeah, Kotoko is technology a Hitachiin isn't she? And that makes her the current heir after us doesn't it?" said Hikaru.

"MmmHmm," said Mr. Hitachiin.

"Yeah that's true, why that thought didn't accrue to me before!" said Haruhi.

"Because you're not a greedy person who puts too much thought into things like that, one of the many things I like about you," said Kaoru as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her. Haruhi smiled at him.

"Oh guess what!" said Mrs. Hitachiin running back into the room. "Mother was so excited about having a great-grandchild that she wants to come here and meet her and have some of the other family here too to meet her!"

"Oh really?" said Haruhi.

"MmmHmm," said Mrs. Hitachiin, and suddenly everyone could see her devil smile.

"If you'll excuse me, I have a party to plan, including what to have everyone wear!" And she quickly walked off.

"So that's it," said Haruhi.

"Yep she wants to play dress up Haruhi and Kotoko again," said the twins.

"Hmm, speaking of telling parents, I should go and tell my parents the good news. They'll want to know they have a great-grandchild too, excuse me," said Mr. Hitachiin as he walked out of the room.

"We're going to have to tell the guys too won't we?" said Hikaru.

"Yeah, I mean Kyoya all ready knows, but the other three don't. So we should make sure to set up a special event to tell them," said Kaoru.

"There's someone else I need to tell personally," said Haruhi.

"Kotoko?" said the twins.

"Yes her, but there's someone else I want to tell in person. I want to tell Rai and Aneko face to face!" said Haruhi.
