I do not own Ouran High School Host Club.

Sorry I've been slow on the update. I've been very busy. It also isn't very long.

Ch. 2

The week passed slowly for Haruhi, but Kyoya continued to keep his promise. He was home in time for dinner or a little later and he took Maia to school on his way to work. Haruhi was able to get to Ouran High School on time to teach and could pick Maia up on her way home. That way, Maia saw both of her parents daily. Kyoya also did a little more. He'd call on his break just to tell her that he loved her or to check up on her. He'd get up early to cook the family breakfast and read to Maia at night. This was lovely and all, but Haruhi couldn't help but feel like this wasn't going to last. She didn't want to get her hopes up.

When Haruhi returned home Thursday afternoon with Maia, Kyoya was sitting athe kitchen table waiting for them.

"What are you doing home so early?" Haruhi questioned.

"It's kind of a long story, but Tamaki called and asked if the former club members would be able to get together tonight for dinner. So far, no one is able to make it, but I think you should go. I came home to watch my daughter while you go out. I don't see her enough."

Haruhi was quiet for a moment. She couldn't believe that he had actually admitted it.

"That's nice, but wouldn't it be kind of weird with just me and Tamaki going out?"

"Not at all. You guys used to be great friends and I know none of us have really talked in a while, especially you two."

"I know that, but we also used to date, Kyoya."

"I know. I trust you."

"It's not me that you should worry about trusting," she thought to herself.

Later that afternoon when Kyoya too Maia to the park, Haruhi went to meet Tamaki at a restaurant. The restaurant was quiet and even though it was filled with people. It was elegantly decorated and the dim lighting was relaxing. Classical violin drifted down from the hidden speakers. She expected nothing less of a restaurant chosen by her former classmate. She spotted him sitting in a booth near the back alone.

She made her way to him and sat across from him, startling him.

"Oh gosh Haruhi, I didn't recognize you at first!"

She blushed," It's been a while Tamaki."

She'd always felt out of place in places like this, around people like him.

His eyebrows furrowed," I didn't mean anything bad by that. I meant that you look beautiful, radiant even. You grew your hair out too. It looks nice."

It was true. She had grown her hair long since high school. It was halfway down her back now.

"Thank you."

Tamaki cleared his throat," So what are you up to now? I only talked to Kyoya for a second."

"Well, I teach at Ouran. I compose in my free time. I have a daughter. Her name is Maia."

He looked shocked," That's awesome Haruhi! How old is your daughter? I bet she looks just as beautiful and is just as smart as you."

"She's five years old and I guess she's a nice mix of me and Kyoya."

"I think it's great that you teach at Ouran. There were so many great memories there with the Host Club. What do you teach?"

"Piano."

He was quiet and his mouth hung open slightly.

A huge smile stretched across his face," That's amazing."

Tamaki had taught her to play the piano near the end of high school and through most of college while they were dating. Then they had split ways. If it wasn't for Tamaki, she wasn't sure what career path she would be on right now.

"Well, I owe a great deal of my success to you. As a matter of fact, there is a concert this Saturday at the Ouran music hall for alumni performances. I'll be playing an original composition."

"I got my card in the mail, but I won't be performing. I haven't prepared anything. I'll be there to watch though."

Haruhi took a sip of water," Kyoya will be there. Maybe you guys can sit together."
