I said I would post on Saturday, but I never said when. Sadly I'm disappointed at the fact there had been no reviews, it's possible that is being stupid again, but I even reviewed the story and it seemed to have made it's way through to it, so what the hell is going on?Japanese translations are at the bottom.

Chapter 18
What Father Wants
- Previously -
"Chikusho." Kyouya rubbed his face and called her. "what appointment is it?" She answered, saying it was a usual checkup. "You're already there then," she said yeah and he sighed, "I'll be there in ten minutes-," she told him not to come; that it was okay, "did otousan take you then?" She corrected him, "Tachibana should've called me," he chuckled at her reply, "yeah you are… so you're sure you don't want me to go over there? The Host Club was finishing up the meeting to let the customers in."
Haruhi said that everything should be fine and that one missed appointment from him wouldn't hurt anything. After he was assured that it was okay, they said their temporary good-byes and hung up. Kyouya had several Host Club glances in his direction, so he cleared his throat to ignore them.
"Who was that?" Hikaru asked boredly.
"Family, …unfortunately." He added.
"Calling you during school?" Kaoru seemed surprised.
"So it would seem." Kyouya then went to go greet the ladies.
He was banned to host them, by Haruhi.
Ring, ring.
"Kyou-chan! Your cell is ringing!" Mitsukuni stated.
'She rarely calls this much, let a lone at all.' Kyouya sighed, "arigato."
"I'll get it!" He skipped away and looked at the caller ID and froze, "…fiancée?"
"Don't worry about it," the shadow king came over to get his phone from him.
Answering the phone, Mitsukuni beamed, "moshi-moshi!" She replied in German, completely confusing him and gave it to Kyouya, "wah! I can't understand!"
Kyouya took the phone, "nani, did it go well?" He watched Mitsukuni fleeing to his customers. "Wakatte, was that all?" She replied that it wasn't and that the doctor had a question, after asking Kyouya's opinion on it, he blushed lightly, "can you ask me this later? Now really isn't a good time." Haruhi yelled at him mildly, but enough for him to extend his phone away from his ear, then pulled it back. "You choose what you want to do, it's not like I can really answer that though. So really, it's up to you."
Haruhi huffed at his unhelpful-ness and said she would go to the library to get a few books to understand whether she should breast-fed or not. His eyes rolled a little and he said fine so long as Tachibana went her, so she agreed on that. Again the two hung up the cell phones, and Kyouya received everyone's attention in the room.
"Kyouya!! You have a fiancée?!" Tamaki roared.
Hikaru looked around and pointed, "I thought it was Renge."
"Hikaru… she was fantasizing…" Kaoru sighed.
"…oh yeah…" he had completely forgotten about it.
"She spoke Japanese to you but German to me!" Mitsukuni whined.
Tamaki still roared, "why didn't you tell us!"
"I thought it was obvious because only my fiancée can forbid me from hosting the other ladies in the room." Kyouya stated. "It certainly got my mind off another."
The assumed it was someone in the room to get his mind off of Haruhi.
- Now -
Kyouya was a little jumpy, and a bit cranky towards the Host Club when they bugged him. For the past two weeks now he acted almost anxious, as if he was waiting for something to happen. Today though, he was completely worn out from being so out of character, so they left him alone so he could rest some.
Tamaki admitted that even in class, Kyouya seemed to be a little dazed from the teaching. What made him more confused was that the teachers allowed him to doze off into his thinking world. Out of nowhere, everyone heard the 1-A class president yelling out Kyouya's name in the hall frantically.
'What would a student want with me?' Kyouya sighed and got up.
Kazukiyo barged in and panted, "Kyou… Kyouya…-senpai…"
"Hai?" The junior looked at him. "Nani-yo?"
"Superintendent said… to tell you… hospital…" he still panted.
His eyes widened and looked at his cell phone, it was dead. "…"
"He said… take his limousine…" Kazukiyo fell to the floor.
Kyouya looked at Tamaki and demanded, "take my things to my estate!" Then ran.
He was there at the hospital ten minutes later and literally ran to the delivery floor asking for Haruhi and was pointed in a direction. Already his brothers were sitting in the waiting room as both of their fathers were, but ignored them. Kyouya wasn't going to screw this up and not be there when their daughter was going to be born.
A doctor saw him running and motioned him to a room where Haruhi was already prepared for delivery. Kyouya sighed in relief and came over to Haruhi and cleaned her face from all of the sweat. She looked at him and then cringed at the contraction, and felt him hold her hand as reassurance; he was going to be there for her.
It took only three pushes for her and the baby came out, crying as most babies would, and they smiled. Kyouya wanted to wait for Haruhi to see their daughter first, or at the same time, it didn't matter to him really. They raised the infant after the cord was cut, and the parents stared, almost in surprise at the shocker.
It wasn't a girl.
It was a boy.
"…doctors…" Kyouya sighed, trying not to laugh.
Haruhi didn't speak, she was tired. "…"
Kyouya wiped her face again, her body was small, so it didn't surprise him that she needed to rest just a little longer after that. Their son was cleaned up and given an immediate circumcision and Kyouya asked, then he was placed into his fathers' arms. Haruhi smiled lightly, watching him hold their son, watching him look so practically clueless as to what he was doing.
He gave their son to Haruhi who fed the small one, quickly settling down to give everyone's ears a break. Doctors and nurses shook Kyouya's hand and congratulated him, and added that the baby would have to be taken to be checked up. They understood, but they would wait just a little longer, and a nurse asked for the name.
Haruhi looked at Kyouya, "Daichi?"
Great Wisdom? He smiled, "hai."
Ohtori Daichi. October 15th.
Kyouya was absent from school for the next two weeks to spend time with Haruhi and Daichi, trying to get any rest that he could. Haruhi barely had any sleep with feeding the baby, her daily things she would do, and not to mention that she was trying to get back to her original weight. Daichi was an adorable little boy, hair and eyes were just like daddy's, but his face and skin were more like mommy's.
Knock, knock.
He groaned in annoyance, "I told Tamaki not to come over."
Haruhi laughed softly, "does he ever listen though?"
Sighing, the shadow king got up, "I'll be back soon."
"Don't fight this time, or I'll come beat you up."
"You're lucky enough to be home." He reminded.
The shadow king opened the door, and the entire Host Club was behind the maid, making him a little nervous, but didn't show it. He asked them what they wanted, and they just stated that they were worried about him, causing him to sigh again. Kyouya stated that he was sick the first week, so he was taking this week off to make sure that he knew he was alright.
Daichi was starting to mutter a whine, so Kyouya quickly guided the Host Club members away and went elsewhere. The ended up going to the living room to discuss plans for the club, and so he gave a few ideas. Each idea was approved by the idiot club president, and Kyouya noted them down; he just wanted to sleep.
"I want Haruhi to come back." Hikaru stated selfishly.
"…" Everyone was silent, they all missed Haruhi.
Kyouya smirked and replied to Hikaru, "she's hard to find."
"Kyou-chan's looking for her?" Mitsukuni asked surprisedly.
"A little. I'll be sure to find her before June." He added.
"Let's plan something for June!" Tamaki cheered.
"Brazil?" Mitsukuni smiled.
"Haruhi doesn't have a passport." Takashi stated.
"She most likely does, I can't find her in Japan." Kyouya stated.
"H-hontou?" The others, other than Takashi, asked.
"…we could take her anywhere!" The twins grinned.
Daichi became five months today, and as promised, Haruhi was going to attend half of her classes for two months, but as a guy still. She almost returned to her usual weight, and she wore a sports bra again to conceal her slightly big breast. Just recently she stopped breast-feeding as soon as he started to get his teeth, and it wasn't nice.
Haruhi didn't attend to classes today though, merely talked to the superintendent, showing him a picture of Daichi. Yuzuru just adored him and showed her a baby picture of Tamaki, and even said that she could have it because he had so many. After that, she pulled just one more picture out, and gave it to him, saying he could have it so long as Tamaki wouldn't see it.
It was a family photo of Daichi and his parents, and obviously it was professionally taken from the look of the background. Daichi was smiling at the camera, most likely imitating the cameraman's smile as did his parents. Haruhi was sitting on a chair with Daichi in her arms smiling warmly as Kyouya stood with his arm around her shoulders and his other in his pocket, also smiling warmly.
"It seems you've changed him Fujioka-kun," Yuzuru paused, "…er…"
"I'm still a Fujioka, till I graduate at least." She smiled.
He looked at the time, "you should get going, the final bell will ring soon."
Haruhi nodded and replied, "ja ne," then walked off.
She arrived two minutes before the bell rang for the end of the day and she opened the door to the Third Music Room and laid down on a couch. Kyouya was the next to enter and scowled at her, knowing that she didn't even go to any classes. Haruhi only smiled at him, saying that she was in the office most of the time to adjust her classes, so he let her slide off on it and prepared things.
"Why don't you go greet Kasanoda-kun? Come back in a few minutes, surprise the Host Club and the customers." Kyouya offered quietly.
"Are you sure? I haven't been around guys other than family, are you sure you won't get jealous or something?" Haruhi flipped the page.
His eyes rolled, "I'm not going to get jealous."
"Okay," she got up, "I'll be back in ten minutes."
Everyone was doing what they've been doing for so many months; twins being a little stubborn, Mitsukuni was a little sad. Tamaki on the other hand was looking forward to going to Brazil with all the other Host Club members. The door opened and everyone turned to look, only to be quite surprised to see who it was.
"Gomen," Haruhi scratched her head, "I lost track of time."
Kyouya rolled his eyes at her excuse, knowing that she would make up some type of excuse, and continued doing work on his laptop. That is, until Haruhi threw a pillow at head for rolling his eyes at her; pregnancy issues are supposed to leave, aren't they? It didn't matter, she had been with their son every hour for four months, while he was half that amount because of school and the Host Club trips.
"HARUHI!!" Tamaki yelled, causing her to jump lightly; normally alert for her son.
The Host Club king clung to her happily, soon, all Host Club members except the usual two smothered her in hugs. Haruhi laughed as she knew this would be their reaction and tried to escape their holds on her. After seven minutes of suffocating her with affections, they went all out with questions, causing her to cower away.
Haruhi went to Kyouya, "I already have a headache."
"You should've taken the medication before coming." He stated.
"I did," she replied, "…I just forgot the painkillers."
"There should be some in my bag." Kyouya stated.
"Haru-chan! You look taller!" Mitsukuni cheered, jumping into her arms.
Haruhi caught him and replied, "well… a little I guess."
"Haruhi looks bigger too." Hikaru commented rudely.
"…" She turned her attention to him, glaring.
"ONI!" The twins ducked.
Kyouya was typing on his laptop and stated, "Haruhi left because of the issue, and the fact that he was getting a rare sickness. Though it's cured, he still has to take a lot of medication." Then he added, "but he will be attending half of the classes each day for two months, afterwards, it will be regularly."
After Haruhi took some Advil, she returned to the room, "yeah, thanks for telling them everything, I'm thrilled." She sighed, "the superintendent has a picture."
"Tamaki will snoop." He retorted, not really pleased about it.
"Yeah well… otousan said to give him one, so don't blame me or I'm leaving."
"WAH!! YOU CAN'T LEAVE!! YOU CAN'T! YOU CAN'T! YOU CAN'T!!" Mitsukuni cried.
Haruhi looked at the little senior and smiled, "can you, give us a minute?"
"Only if you don't leave again!" He stated.
She smiled, "okay, I won't."
"Kay," Mitsukuni fled.
"…" Haruhi sighed.
"You have the 'we need to talk alone' pursuit, aren't you?" Kyouya asked.
She looked at the ground and replied softly, "what do you think?"
"You know that the others will still try to listen to us though."
"I know that Kyouya." His fiancée sighed calmly, still having head pain.
The shadow king stopped his task and looked at her. "What is it then?"
"Otousan said that if you upset me, and he catches wind of it like the last time," Haruhi looked at him straight in the eyes, "Daichi and I go back, and we stay," she was referring to Ryouji's apartment, "and you won't be with us. He made that clear."
Kyouya literally looked disappointed, and sighed, "you seriously can't do that to me."
"Wrong." She said softly, and caressed his face softly, "it's up to you if I'm upset."
"How can I avoid it when you don't tell me if I do something? Last time you ran away because I yelled at you, last time you could've been killed." The shadow king stated.
"You've known everything about me, better than anyone, for the past two years."
With that, Haruhi left him with his thoughts and went to talk to the seniors, Takashi and Mitsukuni. After that, she talked a little with Tamaki, know that he was probably the most dramatic from her disappearance. Then finally, she went to the twins and Hikaru stood up in front of her, looking at her with a frown.
"Gomen," Haruhi knew he was the most upset.
Hikaru immediately hugged her tightly, as if she would disappear if he didn't touch her, but she hugged back. It really wasn't fair putting them through all of this, but she told them in advance that she would explain herself eventually. Unfortunately though, they weren't ready for it, so they had to wait a little longer for it.
"You're not going to leave us again, ne?" Hikaru asked as he trembled.
She nodded softly against his chest, "I'm staying now, don't worry."
"We missed you." The oldest twin stated, hugging her even tighter.
"H-Hikaru, you're squeezing me." Haruhi winced.
"Oh…" he release her, "gomen."
The two hours passed and all of the customers left, leaving the Host Club members to have the Third Music Room to their selves. Tamaki told Haruhi their plan of going to Brazil over in South America, so she thought about it. Eventually she shrugged her shoulders, saying that she hadn't been to South America yet and wouldn't mind.
"Demo… can we wait on that trip for a few more months?" Haruhi asked softly.
Tamaki blinked confusedly and asked back, "why a few months?"
She scratched the back of her head, "I need to adjust to everything."
"We should go in three months," Kyouya spoke out.
"Okay, we'll go in May then." Tamaki announced, and then looked at Haruhi curiously, "is that okay with you? All of us going to Brazil in three months?"
The freshman bit her bottom lip, trying to think about it, "ano…"
"Don't worry about him, it'll just be a weekend." Kyouya told him.
She turned to scowl at him lightly, "do you know how nervous I am just being here?"
"The doctors claimed that you need to be out more anyways." He replied.
Haruhi rolled her eyes and sighed, then turned to her friends, "…sure."
"YAY!!" Mitsukuni cheered, throwing his stuffed animal in the air happily.
"Let's plan everything now!" Tamaki cheered and looked to Kyouya for help.
"Let's go to the Amazon River so Haruhi can where a swim suit!" The twins smiled.
Haruhi looked to the twins, "o-onegai, no swim suits…"
"Ara?" They looked at her suspiciously.
"Can't we just go somewhere to have fun? Without civilization so close?" Haruhi asked them all, "I'm just… if we're going to go somewhere, I'd rather not…" She didn't know how to explain herself to them, so Kyouya spoke.
"We'll have a hotel twenty miles away from the Amazon River, that area it secluded." Kyouya stated. "On the other side is something like a Tribe, it's vague for me."
Haruhi nodded her head softly, "kay." She looked at the time, "I'm going home now."
Tamaki smiled, "may I take you home? I'm curious as to where you now live."
"Hentai!" Hikaru and Kaoru called out before harassing him with many pokes.
"Haru-chan, where do you live?" Mitsukuni smiled.
Ring, ring!
Haruhi jumped lightly, then answered it, "moshi-moshi?" There was crying in the background, the maid said that Daichi wouldn't settle down for her. "I'm on my way."
