Kyoya's POV

I am currently sitting in my office with Ranka, Tamaki, and Fuyumi. We are going over our 'plans' for today, but I begin with the unfortunate news.

I lean forward in my brown leather office chair, and I rest my elbows on the desk. I begin, "I received some news from the prison that Ranka was locked up in not too long ago."

Everyone in the room looks at me confused, Tamaki ask, "What do you mean, they don't want to take Ranka back do they?"

"No, but before I say this," I quickly glance at the office door to make sure no pregnant women are peeking in, "you are not to say this to Haruhi under and circumstances. Do I make myself clear?"

They all nod their heads, and I soon tell them, "Well, Kasanoda is dead."

Fuyumi eyes widen from shock, Tamaki doesn't show emotion, and Ranka looks at me with utter confusion. Ranka asks, "How?"

"I received the call from the officer that was guarding his prison cell, and he said Kasanoda hung himself using his own bed-sheets." I answer. Honestly I am quite happy that man is dead. Now I know that he will never come after Haruhi or her children, which is good news to me. Haruhi on the other hand, will probably get upset at this news, and I don't think she can handle the stress right now.

I look up at Ranka who is still showing a slightly confused expression, "I know he was upset about what he did, but I didn't think he would kill himself over it." Ranka states.

Wanting to change the subject I begin to list the plans for the day. "Well anyways, today we are finally going to decorate the babies' nursery for Haruhi."

Fuyumi jumps up out of her chair and cheers, "We're finally doing it! I've been waiting for so long. I was worried she would end up giving birth before we were even finished the babies' room!" Fuyumi says excitedly.

"Well, now let's get started shall we?" I say, I look towards Tamaki, "Tamaki I want you to take Haruhi out today, and please keep her away from this house until I call you. Which shouldn't be too hard, because she has a doctor's appointment this morning." I tell him.

Tamaki looks at me surprised, "Shouldn't you be at this appointment, not me?"

"I'm going to tell her that I have some business people coming over today and that I can't make it. Don't worry I have access to her hospital files, so I will immediately know if something is wrong. Plus you're going to be a uncle soon, so I think you should be with her. Also I really just do not trust you with the babies' room." I say.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? I can do a nursery just as well as you can!" he shouts.

"Well would you look at the time, her appointment is in 15 minutes, I suggest that you get going." I say as I stand and push Tamaki out the door. However before I let him go, I whisper in his ear, "Remember do not tell Haruhi about Kasanoda." with that I push him out and shut the door.

I turn back to the other 2 people in the room, "Let's go."


Tamaki's POV

I'm sitting with Haruhi in the car, and I am currently driving to the hospital. "Why couldn't he come again?" she asks sounding very unpleasant.

"He had some important work to take care, so he ask if I could take you instead." I tell her for the 20th time. I glance over at the very pregnant woman that is in my passenger's seat, and she looks pissed. From what I have read online, pissed pregnant women are usually not a good thing to deal with.

She has her arms crossed across her chest, and her face is showing a slight frown. I finally give up, "Haruhi he is really busy today. Trust me he really wanted to be here, so don't be so mad at him." I ask her.

She groans, but soon settles down, "I'm not mad at him, I'm just a little disappointed is all." she says.

"He wanted to be here, so don't be upset. Plus you got me ya know! I'm fun and exciting too right?" I ask.

She mumbles, "You're fun alright, but not what I really wanted senpai."

We arrive at the hospital, and we walk to the maternity department. When we arrive I am awestruck by all the tiny children running around, while their pregnant mothers try to keep them under control. Haruhi walks over to the counter to sign in, but I am currently distracted by all the adorable children everywhere.

Haruhi finishes signing in, and soon she takes a seat next to a bookshelf. I walk over to join her, but soon I feel a slight tugging at my legs. I look down and staring up at me is a little girl, no more than 4, with long blond pigtails, and a missing tooth. I crouch down at her so I'm more on her level, and I ask, "Yes, princess?"

The girl blushes profusely, and she tries her hardest not to look me directly in the eye. She looks at her shoes and asks, "Can you be my prince charming?"

I'm slightly shocked at the question, but I smile and say, "Why of course my princess, but first can I join my queen who is sitting right over there" I say gesturing to Haruhi who is eyeing me cautiously.

The girl smiles from ear to ear, and soon runs to join her mother. I watch the girl run away, but before walking back to Haruhi I notice all the mothers in the room are staring at me and smiling. I blush a little, and I walk back to join Haruhi; away from all the stares.

"Mrs. Ootori!"

I look up, and a nurse is standing near the door holding a clipboard. I help Haruhi gather her things, and I help her stand to her feet. She walks in front of me, and I slightly snicker at the way she is waddling.

We walk to the nurse, and she takes us to the room where the doctor will be seeing us. I help Haruhi lay down on the bed that is in the room before taking a seat myself.

We sit there talking about random baby things for about 10 minutes before the doctor enters the room. "Good morning Mrs. Ootori" she says as she walks into the room. She than looks at me, "I see we have a new guest with us today."

I stick out my hand, and I shake the doctor's hand, "Good morning, I'm Tamaki Suoh"

"Well hello Mr. Suoh." she turns her attention back to Haruhi and asks, "How many weeks are you now?"

Haruhi hesitates before answering, "I believe I'm 8 months next Monday"

The doctor nods her head, and begins to set up her machine. I sit there and I watch her fascinated, because I never saw this type of thing before. Finally she asks Haruhi to pull up her shirt, and I turn away. Haruhi smiles, "It's just my stomach, there's nothing to see."

I turn back around, and I watch as the doctor puts gel on the bottom part of Haruhi's belly. I watch as Haruhi flinches, and I grow concern. "Wow, that's cold" she says.

I calm down, until I see the doctor put some kind of wand on the gel. "Umm, what are you doing?" I ask the doctor, confused by what I'm seeing. The doctor smiles, and says, "You'll see"

She turns around and turns on a screen. She looks at the screen, and begins to move the small wand around. Finally she smiles, and turns the screen towards Haruhi and I.

Haruhi just smiles like she has seen this before, but I sit there with my mouth wide-open. On the screen is a small baby laying inside it's mother's womb. The doctor begins to move the wand around again, and soon another baby appears. I sit there watching the tiny children as they move. The one kicks, and the other is just laying perfectly still.

Haruhi groans, "Looks like one of them is awake."

The doctor moves the wand around some more, but soon I watch her face change from a happy one to a much, much more serious one. I grow concerned, I go to ask what's wrong, but soon enough the doctor is on her feet and heading towards the door.

"I'm sorry I'll be right back, I just need to get a second opinion." she tells us as she shuts the door. I glance over at Haruhi, and she is deathly white.

"Haruhi?" I ask.

Haruhi turns her face to me, and she has such a frightened expression, "What's wrong with my babies?"

I try to calm her down, "I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. The doctor said she would be right back."

I grab hold of Haruhi's hand, and soon enough the doctor returns with another older male doctor with her. They both walk over to the screen, but before pulling the picture up; they turn the screen away from us.

The female doctor begins pointing at the screen, and the male doctor studies the image. Soon he turns on the machine again, and ask Haruhi to lay back down. Within moments the doctor is using the wand again, and moving it slowly around.

Finally Haruhi speaks up, "Is there anything wrong?" You can clearly hear the worry in her voice.

The male doctor glances at the screen one more time before answering. "Well it's a bit too early to tell if it is this, but the boy's umbilical cord is beginning to wrap around his neck."

Haruhi looks ready to cry, but the doctor goes on. "Out of both babies, the boy is the smaller one. This, however, is quite common when carrying more than one baby. Our only concern is since he is so small compared to his sister we don't want to deliver you too early, but if the wrapped umbilical cord gets tighter or becomes a knot then we could lose the boy."

This time I glance at Haruhi, and she now has tears threatening to spill over. She soon speaks, "So what is the plan?" her voice cracks towards the end.

The doctor sighs, "We definitely do not want to deliver you this early, because their lungs are still in development. However, we don't want you to go full term any longer, so we will prepare to deliver you in about 4 weeks. I highly recommend doing a c-section to safely remove the boy twin, but a vaginal birth is still an option as of now. However, if the situation becomes more serious than a emergency c-section will be mandatory."

Haruhi chokes out, "O-okay, so what do I do now? Can I do something to maybe help this?"

The female doctor speaks this time, "There really is nothing we can do to undo this, but for now you are to be put on bed rest until delivery. We want to get you as full-term as we can, but you are to come in for weekly visits to see how he's looking. Also if you feel anything different, you need to call me and I will be on stand-by."

The doctors both stand, and we thank them for their time. I help Haruhi up, and we walk out of the hospital hand in hand with Haruhi with tears down her cheeks.

Once we are inside the car, Haruhi just looks out her window, and doesn't say a word. I pull out my phone, and begin to text Kyoya about our location; but I don't tell him about the news we just learned.

After asking Kyoya when the room is ready, I begin to drive to a very nice local restaurant that Haruhi and I should remember. The same place where Haruhi and I began our relationship.


Kyoya's POV

I am helping Ranka paint one of the walls in the nursery, but soon my phone starts to ring.

I excuse myself from the room, and I make my way to the hallway where I answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Good morning sir, we just saw your wife leaving the hospital with a tall blond." the man answers. Oh, it's those two idiots I hired to protect Haruhi, I sigh and say, "Ignore him, his name is Tamaki Suoh he is a close friend of the family."

The guard gulps, "That's not the point sir. When she left the hospital, she was crying. We figured we would let you know."

I slightly panic, but I calmly say, "Thank you for letting me know, I'll talk with you later."

I end the call, and I quickly walk to my office. I practically run to my computer, and I immediately begin bringing up Haruhi's files. I search through her most recent appointments, and finally I come across a folder marked with today's date. I go to pull up the folder, but when I click on it my phone rings again.

I groan, and I pull out my phone again, "Hello, Ootori speaking"

"Good morning Mr. Ootori, I'm calling to inform you about your wife's appointment today. Mainly so we can set up a date for her delivery which should be about 4 weeks."

4 weeks that's much too early, I ask her, "Isn't that too early to deliver them, I thought the original plan was to let her try to make it to full term."

The doctor says, "Did your wife tell you about her appointment today?"

"No" I say, starting to feel anxious.

"Maybe I should just let her tell you. I guess I'll hang up now, but please don't push her on the issue if she doesn't tell you. Just know that she is to be put on bed rest until delivery. She can temporarily leave bed rest as long as it is absolutely necessary. Alright? Good-bye Mr. Ootori." she hangs up the phone.

I place the phone on my desk, and I stare at my computer screen. I pull up the file from today's appointment, and I stare at the ultrasound photos. I'm not trained to really be able to tell what is happening in the actual pictures, but I am able to read the doctor's notes listed in the bottom of each photo.

Twin A: (female): healthy progress, expected delivery 40 weeks.

I smile at that news, my little girl is health as can be. However, my heart sinks when I begin to read about my boy.

Twin B: (male): threatened progress, type A nuchal cord- possibility type B. Low weight gain. expected delivery 35 weeks by possible emergency c-section.

Nunchal cord? I've heard that term before, but I can't remember what it means. I immediately search online for this nunchal cord.

The results that appear are not so positive. A type A nunchal cord is where the umbilical cord begins to wrap around the neck of the baby. However, a type B nunchal cord is where the umbilical cord actually becomes a knot while still inside the womb.

I slowly shut my computer and lean back in my chair. Haruhi is not going to handle these next couple of weeks well, in fact I don't think I can handle this either.
