Enjoy the short chapter.
René is now six months old. She is starting to crawl and she can say simple words. She has started to call me 'Dada'; it enrages Tamaki every time he hears her call me that. He often storms out of the room. I have tried to get René to call me 'Kyo', but she just shook her head and said, "You're her daddy now."
I could tell the pain that shot through her mind, but she hid it the best she could. But over the past few months Haruhi has slowly let go of any love that she had for Tamaki. I could tell that she would love him to some degree, but she came to love me.
I always loved Haruhi, so when this happened I did feel a sense of victory. I love Haruhi and René. They are my family and when Haruhi and I became an item that's when I knew that it was nearly official. She was almost completely over him.
It was only when Haruhi changed René's last name to Ootori. And I gladly let her take on my name. It was Haruhi who was hesitant.
"Kyoya, you don't have to do this. She can keep the name she has." Haruhi looked down in sadness.
Placing my hands on her shoulder I made her look up. Her dirty face looked back at my dirty face. Recently Haruhi had been helping with construction and often forgot to bathe afterwards. I did as well.
"What let the baby keep the last name of a man who does not want her? It is bad enough that she was named after him-"I cut was off by Haruhi clinging to my shirt. I saw tears fall down her face.
"Please don't insult her first name. It is the only thing she will have connecting her to Tamaki. Her first name stays, but she can have your last name."
From that moment on René was no longer René Suoh but René Ootori. That was when Haruhi and the baby became mine and truly mine.
