DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
"Oh," said Mrs. Hitachiin cradling Sai in her arms. Of course she made sure to keep the baby a little away from her dress, "A new Hitachiin, and a girl none the less. I couldn't be happier."
"Yeah sure Mom," said Hikaru.
"It is sad though, she looks more like you then Haruhi. I wanted her to have Haruhi's cute eyes," said Mrs. Hitachiin.
"Whatever," said Hikaru.
"I think she looks cute with those eyes," said Haruhi.
"Yes I suppose. Our eyes to have a nice glow to them," said Mrs. Hitachiin handing the baby back to her mother, "Where are the big brother and sister anyway? I have something for the two of them."
"Oh you didn't have to do that," said Haruhi.
"Oh nonsense," said Mrs. Hitachiin, "Dear where did we put those bags?"
"I have them here," said Mr. Hitachiin holding up two bags. Haruhi had a good guess that they had new clothes in them.
"I think they're outside in the garden with Kaoru," said Hikaru.
"Well go get them," said Mrs. Hitachiin.
"Fine," muttered Hikaru walking out.
"So how long are you going to stick around?" asked Haruhi.
"Well I'm due in Switzerland by Thursday and where were you suppose to be heading off to dear?" asked Mrs. Hitachiin.
"Kenya," said Mr. Hitachiin as he walked over to Haruhi and Sai.
"Would you like to hold her?" asked Haruhi.
"Please," said Mr. Hitachiin. He held the baby close and stroked her cheek.
"Well seeing as how we're going to be here for a while we can hold a party for little Sai," said Mrs. Hitachiin.
"Sure why not," said Haruhi. Hunny and Mori's parents had, so why shouldn't Hikaru's.
"We're having a party?" asked Ichiko running into the house.
"Yes for your new sister," said Mrs. Hitachiin. "And you should wear this to it Ichiko." She pulled out a purple dress.
"Oh it's so pretty!" said Ichiko.
"All the more reason you should be wearing it," said Mrs. Hitachiin. Then she reached over and pulled to a new sailor outfit from the other bag. "And this is for you Kaito. Don't you think you'll look nice in this?"
"Yeah," said Kaito.
"At least she's not making him wear a dress," said Hikaru and Kaoru.
Haruhi was rather surprised at how many people were at this party. A lot of them were even foreigners. Most of the people from Ichiko and Kaito's parties were either friends or family, she more or less already knew. It almost didn't feel like a party for Sai at all. She wandered off by herself and was lucky to find a vacant seat off alone away from the huge crowd. She sat down and gently rocked Sai, helping to keep her asleep. She hummed quietly as she did.
"Everything all right?" asked Hikaru sitting down next to her.
"Yeah, it's just too crowded here for me," said Haruhi.
"Maybe we could try sneaking out and go home. Kaoru and I usually found a good way to get out of parties like these," said Hikaru.
"I'd like that, but we can't leave Ichiko and Kaito," said Haruhi.
"Oh of course not," said Hikaru.
"Where are they?" asked Haruhi.
"Last I saw Ichiko was running after Tamaki," said Hikaru. "And Kaito was right behind her."
Haruhi giggled. "Ichiko sure does like Tamaki," she said.
"Yeah, I'm sure Sai will like him too. Something tells me she'll appreciate the boss the same way Kaoru and I do," said Hikaru.
"Well hopefully not that exact same way," said Haruhi.
"Hello Mrs. Hitachiin is it now?"
Haruhi and Hikaru both looked up and saw Kyoya's father was standing in front of them.
"Congratulations on the new baby," he said.
"Thank you," said Haruhi pulling her baby closer to her.
"I certainly hope she has a nice long happy life," said Mr. Ohtori.
"Yeah, same here," said Hikaru. He could feel his blood running just a little bit cold over the way Mr. Ohtori was glaring at him.
"I do hope this young man is treating you right Madam, and your children," said Mr. Ohtori.
"Yes Hikaru's a great father. The kids absolutely adore him," said Haruhi.
"Hmm," said Mr. Ohtori still glaring at Hikaru like he wanted nothing more then to strangle him.
"Speaking of kids, it's late and we should get them home," said Haruhi as she stood up.
"Yeah we should go get them and leave," said Hikaru as he too stood up and walked away with Haruhi. He made sure to keep his arm around Haruhi and Sai feeling like he had to protect them from something.
"We really should find those two and get home. They're probably wiped out right now anyway," said Haruhi.
"Oh I don't think so," said Hikaru pointing. Ichiko was on Tamaki's back, riding him like a horse.
"Uh Ichiko, this has been going on for about an hour. Aren't you done playing horse yet?" asked Tamaki.
"Oh come Boss, you can last a bit longer," said Kaoru who was standing with Kaito.
"Ichiko, Kaito time to go home," said Haruhi.
"Already?" said Kaoru.
"Yes, it's bed time," said Haruhi.
"Otay," said Ichiko getting off of Tamaki. She gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek.
"Tama will you come and play with us tomorrow?" asked Ichiko.
"I may," said Tamaki as he slowly stood up holding his back.
"How much longer before you're due back in France?" asked Haruhi.
"The day after tomorrow," said Tamaki.
"That soon?" asked Kaoru.
"Sorry but duty calls," said Tamaki.
"We miss you so much Tama, can't you ever stay?" asked Ichiko.
"I'm sorry Ichiko, but I have to help out with my mother where I can," said Tamaki rubbing her head. Ichiko sighed.
"Otay," she said sadly hugging Tamaki's leg.
"Just make sure you look after your sister all right?" said Tamaki.
"Of course I will Tama. I love my baby sister!" said Ichiko.
"Me too," said Kaito.
"Good," said Tamaki.
The next day both Kaoru and Tamaki came to visit.
"Tama, Tama let's play horsy," said Ichiko.
"Sure," said Tamaki getting down on all fours for Ichiko to ride him.
"He's so natural with them," said Haruhi.
"Yeah that is the boss for you," said Kaoru.
"Hmm," said Hikaru. He was a little bit jealous that the kids always took so natural to Tamaki even though they hardly ever saw him but yet he had to work hard to win them over.
"You know I can't help but feel these kids are growing kind of weird," said Tamaki.
"Yeah I've noticed that too. Its like they age to a certain point then they stop growing, almost like we did in high school. It's almost like in some of those weird stories or shows where the kids just act the age the person in control wants them to," said Haruhi, "But they seem to be doing okay for the most part and are healthy and strong."
"Besides Boss if they grew up too much we wouldn't be able to enjoy getting to spend time with them like this," said Kaoru.
"I guess," said Tamaki.
"Look Boss, don't look into it too much. Just enjoy them how they are now and accept it," said Kaoru.
Hikaru meanwhile walked down out of the room and down to Sai's room. The little baby was sleeping sound.
"Hey Sai," he whispered, "I know I may not be the best example of a good father, but I just want you to know I do love you and you've really made me feel the need to step it up at being a good father."
"I think you're going to be a great father Hikaru," said Tamaki walking by with Ichiko still on his back.
"Yeah Dada Hika, you're a great dad," said Ichiko.
"Thanks Ichiko," said Hikaru as he watched her and Tamaki move along.
"Hey Hikaru, how's Sai?" asked Kaoru walking into the nursery. "Did you see Ichiko managed to get the boss to be a horse again."
"Yeah I saw," said Hikaru.
"You okay?" asked Kaoru.
"Well you know I was trying hard to be a good father to Ichiko and Kaito right?" said Hikaru.
"Of course you're being a great dad," said Kaoru.
"Well now that I have my own, I don't know, it's made me feel like there's more I could do. More work I'm going to have to do in order to make sure Sai doesn't grow up twisted like us," said Hikaru. "Work harder at making sure I'm actually there for her unlike our parents."
"Oh I'm sure you'll be able to be there for Sai a lot more then our parents ever were. You're doing a good job and you're going to continue to do a good job, getting to watch Sai grow up into a beautiful young woman," said Kaoru.
"Thanks Kaoru," said Hikaru.
The next few months came and went and with them, Sai started to grow. Before long she was doing things like smiling and crawling. That just made her a lot more fun for her brother sister aunt and uncles to play with. Satoshi and Yasuchika still came by to visit often and they too played with Sai when they did.
Hikaru also played with her a lot too. He seem to keep her by his side a lot as if to prove a point that he was a better parent than his own. Haruhi thought it was a bit sweet how much he doted on his daughter.
Then about a year later, right before Sai's first birthday, Hikaru has a surprise for everyone.
"How would you all like to come with me to Campione d'Italia with me next month?"
"Where's that at?" asked Haruhi.
"In Italy," said Hikaru.
"And why do you need to go there?" asked Haruhi. Hikaru smiled and unraveled a poster. There was a picture of a bunch of models in swimsuits on board a yacht and on top it read; DIVE INTO THE SEA OF FASHION.
"It's my new show to launch my new swimwear. My agent urged my to do it in Italy for some reason so that's where it's going to be. But in either case, I really do want the four of you to be there. It'll be like a month after Sai's birthday, maybe we can turn it into a little family vacation," said Hikaru.
Haruhi thought about it for a minute. "Sure that sounds just fine, let's do that," said Haruhi.
"I want to go!" said Ichiko.
"Me too, me too!" said Kaito.
"And Sai?" asked Hikaru picking her up.
"Yes Daddy I want to see you're great work," he made her say. Haruhi had to smile.
"Looks like we're all going to Italy then," she said. The idea of a family vacation did sound nice in so many ways. Hikaru smiled happy. Haruhi crossed her fingers that Hikaru would live past the vacation in Italy
