AN: I don't own Ouran. Thanks mucho for all the reviews. The song doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Eric Clapton

Sorry to JennyKim319, FliPguRL219 and Kiara Angel. I happened to love their reviews very much and I meant to dedicate the last chapter to them but I guess I forgot to put it in. So now they have two chapters dedicated to them, because of the evil glare, the f-ing curses, and the crazy chants. Love you guys mucho!

Chapter Nine: Wonderful Tonight

It's late in the evening

She's wondering what clothes to wear

She puts on her make up

And brushes her long blonde hair

And then she asks me

Do I look alright?

Takashi opened the door, his heart palpitating. "Hello?" he called. No one answered. He walked down the dark hallways and stared at the light shining from the open door. He reached and held the knob while turning to look at the people inside. Tamaki was sitting on the couch, Hikaru and Kaoru at his sides. All of them had their fingers pressed together under their chins. They looked up at him and sighed simultaneously.

"Hello, Mori," Tamaki started. Takashi tried his hardest not to raise an eyebrow at his tone. "So…did you name your son after one of us?"

"Uh," He groaned as he looked down. "The boy is not my son."

"He isn't? Or is he?" Kaoru asked quickly.

He frowned. "If Hikaru stayed long enough and was close enough to hear, he would have known that the boy called me ojisama"

"U-uncle?" The twins asked, surprised. They all laughed. "Oh, what a relief. We thought you had gotten some random woman pregnant after a one night stand. Good, good. So who is this boy, anyway?"

"Not my place to tell"

"Huh?" Tamaki asked.

"Goodbye"

"Takashi!"

He walked away quickly before they could stop him. "Don't come to my house!" His voice echoed through the halls. "I have guests"

"My party-!"

"Still coming"

-----

"Takashi?"

"Hmm?"

"Where were you?" Hunny asked delicately. His cousin smirked.

"No where important. Shouldn't you be getting ready for the party, Mitsukuni?"

"Well yes…but Haru-chan is giving Touji-chan a bath right now"

"…There are five bathrooms"

"But I like the bathroom they're in!" He whined. Takashi rolled his eyes and continued getting ready.

"You've already taken a shower. Go get changed, Mitsukuni"

"Not until you tell me where you went"

"Just to visit Tamaki, now go"

Mitsukuni sighed, knowing that was all he would get from him. "Fine. I'm going" He walked into his room and quickly got changed before knocking on the bathroom door. "Haruhi? Toujiku? Are you-" The door opened and Touji came running out. "Touji!" The boy's tie was flailing around his neck and his shirt was unbuttoned. Haruhi stared in exasperation. "I'll take care of it Haru-chan. You just continue getting ready." She nodded in gratitude before closing the door to change.

Touji was sitting on Éclair's lap. She was next to Hunny on the couch while Takashi was waiting patiently by the door. "Haruhi!" Éclair shouted. "If you don't get down here we're going to be late!" Emily smiled softly. As much as she loved Haruhi, she was excited and anxious to see her son.

"Please, Haruhi, child," She called. "We'd like to-oh…oh, how…"

The others looked to see Emily's mouth agape. Their eyes widened at what she was looking at. Haruhi had walked towards Takashi. Her red, spaghetti strap dress hugged her curves as a slit on both sides showed her long legs. Stray hair fell from her neat bun and she tucked it behind her ear nervously. "Good thing I lost all that fat from giving birth, huh?" she laughed, trying to break the tension.

"Haruhi?" Takashi asked.

"Yes?"

"I'll be escorting you tonight"

"Really?" she asked in confusion

Mitsukuni laughed. "You're like our little sister. Takashi won't let any other man touch you with the way you're looking tonight, Haru-chan" She looked down with a blush. "Let's go. Tamaki is waiting for us"

"So no Kyouya, right?" Haruhi laughed. Obviously, she was joking. Takashi smirked while Mitsukuni patted her knee.

Éclair scratched her head as the car took off. "Well actually, Haruhi, you see…"

-----

Tamaki forced a laugh out at the joke a man told him. It was obviously funny. Everyone was laughing. The problem was that he wasn't listening at all. His mind was occupied with two things. One, Kyouya had taken Sumire to the party. He understood completely. They were getting engaged and everything, but he couldn't help but think that Kyouya looked as if he was forced to bring her. The other was that he had a feeling. A large feeling that something would go wonderfully right or terribly wrong.

Hikaru tapped his shoulder. "Tono, are you alright? You've been daydreaming all day."

He glanced at his friend. "Did you ever have one of those feelings?"

"…yes, I guess so"

"Well that's what I'm feeling now."

"Something is going to go wrong?"

"I'm not sure"

"…What? How could you not know? It's a feeling. You have to know."

"Listen, I-"

"HANINOZUKA MITSUKUNI ESCORTING MISS ÉCLAIR TONNERRE" They turned towards the stairs to watch the two laughing, arm in arm. Tamaki, forgetting about all of his problems, grinned as he two friends walked down towards him.

"Éclair! Hunny!" He laughed as he hugged them. Éclair kissed his cheek softly. "So where're my presents?" She giggled at his excitement.

"Well one should be coming in right-"

"MORINOZUKA TAKASHI AND…" Pause. Sounds of bickering voices flooded the room before Mori was pushed through the doors with a small boy in his arms. "TOUJIKU" was the only name given. Tamaki tilted his head in question.

"You got me…Mori-senpai and a boy?"

"Well..." Éclair started slowly. "I got you the boy…"

"But who is-"

"Auntie Éclair?" Takashi had made his way towards them. He was staring at the boy emotionlessly, waiting for him to continue. "Who's that?" He picked his finger up and pointed at Tamaki.

"Ah, Touji-chan. This is your godfather" Tamaki's eyes widened. Toujiku? Haruhi had always said that if she wanted a son he would be named…

"This is Haruhi's son?" He whispered, already knowing the answer.

"Ojisama" The boy giggled as he reached out for him. Tamaki quickly took him and held him tightly. "Mommy said I would meet you one day! She said I would meet you and then I could say thank you for Kari!"

"Kari?" Tamaki smiled.

"The bear!"

"Oh my- but where's your mother?"

The boy looked up, confusion in his eyes. "I don't know. She was supposed to come in with Uncle Takashi but she pushed him out with me when she saw that guy"

Tamaki was brushing the boy's hair back caringly. He narrowed his eyes, trying to focus himself on what Touji was saying. "What guy? Oh you are just the cutest little boy I've ever seen! Imagine! My godson, just as handsome as me"

"That guy that everyone keeps talking about. Ootori or something"

He turned red. Of course. That was why Éclair acted oddly on the phone. He looked at the woman before him. "So if Toujiku and Haruhi are my first two gifts, who is-"

"Really, please! I don't want to be announced!" He looked up and saw a familiar blonde headed woman fighting with the announcer. "I'm just going to go down. I'm not well known anyway."

"Mother?" He asked her. "You knew my mother? I thought- just a ploy- you know her?"

Éclair closed her eyes. "She's my maid. When I was younger, she used to tell me stories about you. I thought…since your grandmother…I thought it would be nice for you to see her again"

Tamaki wasn't sure what to do. He glanced at his father. The man was staring in disbelief at the stairway. Quickly, he put Touji down and ran as fast as he could. "Mother!" He called. She whipped around and her eyes glistened with tears as she saw her son. He hugged her tightly, crying into her shoulder. "Mom,"

"Oh my son. Forgive a mother for being so foolish to let you go"

-----

"I can't believe her" Haruhi told herself angrily. "I can't believe that Éclair didn't tell me he was going to be here! How could she! God! Toujiku is here too!" She paced back and forth, ignoring the stare from the announcer.

"Uh…miss?" She could tell that he was nervous to talk to her.

"I'm not crazy!" she snapped at him. He flinched and shrunk back. She shook her head guiltily. "I'm sorry. What did you want to say?"

He cleared his throat and started again. "Are you going in? No one is supposed to stay out here. Everyone is to enter"

"Oh…" She suddenly lost her voice. She quickly brushed the strands of hair back and wiped at her eyes before she started crying.

"Miss? Are you ready?"

She stared at him. Was she?

Hittachin Hikaru and Kaoru were sitting at a table, talking animatedly about what had just happened. Tamaki had finally gotten to see his mother again. They smiled at each other before the next name caught their attention. Their faces grew solemn and they looked up at the top of the stairs.

---

Mitsukuni was stuffing his mouth with cake. "Cake, cake, cake" He hummed between each bite. Takashi sighed in exasperation. There was no stopping him. He was about to take the empty plate away from his cousin when they heard the announcer call out another name. The two looked at each other knowingly. They wondered what Kyouya was thinking.

---

Éclair munched on the appetizers, satisfying her hunger. She moaned at the great taste, closing her eyes and savoring the flavor. Suddenly, she heard a familiar name and her eyes snapped open. She grinned and clapped enthusiastically. Her smile fell off her face when she realized that there was still food in her hands. "Ugh…" She groaned in disgust.

---

Tamaki leaned over and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek. His father was still sitting across the room, not really sure what to do. Emily was watching happily as Tamaki bounced Touji on his knee while he asked the boy many different questions. The three looked up and saw a beautiful woman in red.

---

Ootori Kyouya and Taniguchi Sumire were standing by a lone corner. He glared at her heatedly as she waved at the people around the room. Their eyes suddenly widened at the name that was called. "Haruhi?" he whispered.

"Fujioka" Sumire sneered.
