Kanoi Sorry for the long wait between updates. I injured my back, then life and laziness caught up with me.
Hikaru Excuses, excuses.
Kanoi Aw, common Hikaru, you know you missed me.
Hikaru As if!
Kaoru He did; he even called out your name in bed the other day.
Hikaru Kaoru!
Kanoi O...kay... ANYWAY! I don't own Ouran, so... let's just go on to the fic shall we?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haruhi stared at the tray of tea in front of her and sighed. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea; what if Tamaki got upset? Haruhi was sure her husband would have liked to know about her "little problem" before anyone else, but as she had told Yuri she wasn't sure she could handle it on her own. Then again, what made the whole former Host Club any better than just Tamaki? She had a bad feeling about this.
She cast her eyes skyward and prayed, "Mother in Heaven, please let this go smoothly."
That said, she picked up the tray and left the monstrous kitchen.
!2#$&()
"Haruhi, why on Earth do you insist upon doing such menial tasks?" implored Kaoru.
"Surely Tamaki isn't that short on servants," commented Hikaru, casting his cruelly at said blonde.
Haruhi rolled her eyes and placed a comforting hand on her bristling husband's shoulder.
"I do it because I enjoy it. Why can't you just be quite and enjoy the tea like Hani-kun and Mori-kun?" the brunette asked the twins in irritation.
And indeed the oldest two in the room were absorbed in the tea… and each other. Despite the fact that the two men were married, they were both still deeply in love, probably more than they ever were. Their affair was a well-kept secret, one known only by the former Host Club members. It was not something held against the two; after all, the love between the two was so pure it could make one sick. It was just another tragedy in the life of the rich.
"The tea is very good, Haru-chan!" chirped Hani.
Mori grunted in agreement with his small lover's comment.
"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Haruhi said with a smile as she handed a cup of murky brown liquid to her husband.
The twins raised their eyebrows.
"Tono…" the redheads said in mockery of their school days, "What is that?"
Haruhi gave a weary sigh as she sat down next to her blonde spouse.
"Why it is my instant coffee!" Tamaki proclaimed proudly.
Twin pairs of eyebrows shot up and then came down and twisted into a quizzical look.
"You still drink that!?" exclaimed a rather shocked Kaoru.
"Every day…" stated the weary brunette femme.
"Haruhi…" Hikaru started hesitantly," I am starting to think that you not going back for the expensive coffee that first day was the biggest mistake ever."
"Who would have thought it would turn into a lifelong addiction?" Haruhi muttered.
"You are all so cruel!" cried Tamaki.
Haruhi started; she had almost forgotten her husband was in the room. His silence had been unusual.
"Kyoya! They are so cruel to me!" sobbed Tamaki as he clung to his best friend. "Haruhi does not love me anymore!"
Kyoya looked at Tamaki passively.
"That's not true! Don't be so stupid Tamaki!" Haruhi exclaimed in rage, standing abruptly and violently.
Everyone stopped what he was doing to stare in shock at the fuming woman, everyone sans Kyoya, who was smiling serenely and taking a delicate sip of his tea. He set his cup down.
"Now, now Haruhi, watch your temper. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen now would you?" Kyoya questioned pleasantly.
Haruhi froze.
"Haru-chan?" Hani cocked his head to the side innocently. "What's Kyo-chan talking about?"
"Haruhi!" cried Tamaki as he went flying to envelope his wife. "What is wrong, my most darling love in the world?"
As Tamaki coddled his wife, she was completely unaware of all except Kyoya. On the outside Haruhi was completely unresponsive, but on the inside she was livid. Why, oh why did she have to go to one of the Ohtori's hospitals? Stupid Kyoya and his stupid hospitals and his stupid conniving ways. Besides, wasn't looking at someone's files illegal? Wait… why was she wondering about that? Of course it was! Stupid, law-breaking Kyoya!
"Haruhi!" the twins chorused in unison, causing said girl to snap out of her pleasant thoughts of slowly and torturously murdering one Ohtori Kyoya.
"What?"
"What is Kyoya talking about?" Mori asked in his usual monotone.
The fact that the tall, taciturn man actually spoke shocked everyone (except Hani who was smiling brightly at his cousin) so much they almost forgot about interrogating Haruhi… almost.
"Well?" asked everyone except Kyoya who already knew what was going on, Mori who had just used up his daily word quota, and Haruhi who was the one being interrogated.
Haruhi mumbled something that the other occupant of the room couldn't quite make out.
"What, my darling Haru-chan?" Tamaki lovingly asked his petite wife who was residing in his clinging arms.
Haruhi raised her eyes to meet everyone in the room before saying, quite simply," I'm pregnant."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kanoi Not too happy with this chapter. Also, a footnote, when I say Hani and Mori are married I mean they are married to other people. Sorry if that caused any confusion. Anyway, Haruhi is so freakin hard to write! Especially when she's older.
Hikaru That's because she's not the wife/motherly type.
Kaoru Um... Hikaru?
Hikaru What?
Kanoi Um... You may want to take a quick peak behind you...
Hikaru -turns to see Haruhi behind him, glaring- EEP!
Haruhi So I'm not wife material, eh?
Hikaru O-of course you are Haruhi... HELP ME!!! -runs away-
Haruhi GET BACK HERE! -chases after Hikaru-
Kanoi -looks at Kaoru questioningly- Should we help him?
Kaoru Nah, he got himself into this, let him get himself out of it.
Kanoi Still mad about the name thing huh?
Kaoru Yep.
Kanoi Eheh... -sweatdrops-
