"So we can expect Kyami to come around October. Are we still going along with the plan?" Haruhi turned to Kyoya for an answer.
"Of course, I already have a tutor that's ready to go when school starts. You'll be picked up here, and go straight to the music room. Once club hours start, you'll stay in the supply room and we'll either find something productive for you or you can just rest. If you like you can go right home."
"Kyoya-senpai, it sounds like you went through a lot of trouble with this. I can't tell you-"
"It's no trouble at all Haruhi." Kyoya replied typing on his laptop. An awkward silence filled the room.
"It's going to be alright." Kyoya said suddenly, he could see the sadness in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"You're still upset about Kaoru, he'll still be here for a little while, his flight doesn't leave until the end of next week."
"I know, I just- I never expected Hikaru to be the one to give it to him. It has to be the hardest thing he's ever done. I can't even imagine what they're feeling right now."
"I'm sure it is, they depend on each other for many things and I honestly don't know how they'll adjust. They'll make it somehow of course."
"Yeah, I know. It just going to be really strange to see Hikaru without Kaoru." Suddenly, Haruhi gasped in surprise, resting her hand on her belly.
"Are you alright?" Kyoya asked calmly.
"Fine, i-I think she just kicked me." Haruhi smiled.
"Babies tend to do that."
"It feels a little weird actually, I guess I'll get used to it, I can't wait until she's here. I love her so much already."
"Of course you do, you're her mother. I wouldn't expect anything less."
"I wonder if she'll really be okay though, with just me."
"I have no doubt that you're going to be a great mother to her. So much so that she doesn't need her father. One day when she's old enough to understand, she'll realize that she had everything she needed from you."
"What if I fail her, if I do something wrong and it-"
"Haruhi, I'm not saying this to frighten you but you will make mistakes, everyone does. As a result, you're going to second guess yourself and in doing so, you will learn and be better for it. Kyami will learn from you just keep in mind that when the mistakes come along, you can correct them and do better next time you're in that same situation."
"You really think I can do this Kyoya-Senpai?"Kyoya turned to face her.
"Come here Haruhi." She walked the few steps to Kyoya. She was surprised when he took her hands.
"Haruhi,I wholeheartedly believe in your ability to be a mother. You're a very caring and loving person, you're intelligent and you can do it. Kyami is very lucky to have you and I know you can take care of her." Tears formed in Haruhi's eyes as she threw her arms around Kyoya who returned the embrace.
"It's alright, we'll be here if you need us, I'm sure you know that by now."
"Thank you. I couldn't ask for better friends." She sobbed. "I'm kind of glad I broke the vase, I would've just walked out of the music room that day and never really knew you guys. Even though I still have to pay for it, I'm so glad it happened. I know it sounds strange but-"
"No, it doesn't, we're glad you did too."
