"I'm sure I must've heard you wrong Haruhi, I thought you just said you -"Tamaki broke the silence at last.
"I am Senpai, I'm pregnant." She sobbed covering her face with her hands.
Hikaru stood up angrily and stormed out of the building, the remaining hosts could hear him shouting , swearing and slamming objects around Tamaki put his head down. He was livid but it wasn't directed at Haruhi, though she couldn't help but feel it was.
Soon Tamaki got up to "check on Hikaru, letting himself out and joining in the noises.
Haruhi continued to sob.
I don't know what I'm going to do."
"Whatever you feel is best I suppose." Kyoya suggested.
She suddenly felt herself being pulled into a hug.
"It's going to be okay Haruhi."Kaoru's voice whispered close to her ear,she leaned into his chest.
"You think so Kaoru?"
"of course, whatever you need, we'll be here for you."
"I think Hikaru and Senpai hate me right now."
"No, they're angry. you know how the boss is, and Hikaru's always been like this. I'm not happy with what happened to you either, but right now, you need to know that someone's here for you, and we are. It's just a shock, that's all." He was used to hiding his feelings, he often did so to put Hikaru first.
"I don't know what I'm going to tell dad." Honey joined the hug.
"Don't worry Haru-Chan, if you want I'll stay with you when you tell him, so you don't have to be so worried." He offered.
"He'll be here any time now."
"Ranka loves you, sure he'll be surprised but after the shock wears off I-"
"Haruhi, what are your friends doing out-" He stopped, he stared at Kaoru and Honey who were still holding her.
"You all better have a good excuse for this." He growled.
" Dad, I have to -"
"What happened to your face?"
"It's nothing. I have to tell you something and I know you're going to be angry. I-" She looked around at the hosts. Kyoya gave her a small nod and moved closer, pushing his glasses into place.
She held onto Kaoru's jacket and felt Honey's hand on her shoulder, Mori still seemed to be processing the information.
"Dad, Akira and I broke up and -"
"Good, I told you that boy was no good for you. He's not worth your tears." Haruhi shook her head.
"Listen, this is hard enough for me to say. I'm pregnant, I know you -"
"You're what?" Haruhi burst into fresh tears at the sight of her father's expression.
"I'm going to kill that little bastard!" Ranka screamed.
"And you young lady, you're a smart girl the hell were you thinking?!"
"Ranka, I know you're upset but don't you think she's had a bad enough day?" Kaoru said suddenly.
"Stay out of this, it's between my daughter and me, Haruhi, how could you do this?" The more her father showed his anger, the more Haruhi sobbed..Kaoru's instinct to protect his friend took over..
"Ranka, I've no business getting between the two of you, and normally I wouldn't but Haruhi needs you right now."
"You don't know what -"
"She's hurting and scared, she doesn't need anymore pain."
Ranka narrowed his eyes at the red haired boy.
"This is your fault isn't it, that's why you're holding her like that." He accused.
"No, dad i-"
"You're awfully cozy over there, he's-"
"Yell at me all you want Ranka." Kaoru invited.
"You don't have to do this." She sobbed realizing that he was taking the pressure off of her.
"Haruhi, go to your room, we'll talk about this later!" Haruhi looked to Kaoru who smiled and released her.
"thank you." She said, it was clear she couldn't take anymore stress.
"That's what friends do, they help each other right?"
"Now he'll think the baby -"
"Now young lady!'
"You better go I'll straighten it out, you just try to relax for a while."
The yelling would go on for several hours and soon after it started, it caught the attention of Tamaki and Hikaru who stood in the doorway confused. Haruhi felt guilty about letting Kaoru go through that but she was grateful to him for caring for her that much. When Ranka finally knocked on her door, his voice was softer.
"Haruhi, come out here, I need to talk to you."
