"Welcome home Kyami, you can thank the hosts for the house and everything in it." Haruhi said as she walked through the door and made her way to the couch. Kyami slept peacefully in her mother's arms.

"How are you doing Haruhi?" Ranka asked sitting down next to her.

"I'm alright, still a little tired and sore but I'll be fine. It's really good to be home but it's kind of scary too. At the hospital I have nurses who could help me and should me what to do, but now I'm on my own with her. What if I don't do something right or-"

"I told you this before and I'll say it again, bringing home a baby is terrifying, especially your first. You'll always have doubts but that's going to make you a good parent, it'll push you to keep doing better. Sure you're going to make mistakes but every parent, everyone in the world does and it's okay."

"Thanks Dad." Haruhi replied. "Do you think they'll be here soon?"

"They did say they'd be 'll be here."

"It was really great that they said they'd stay and help for a while." Haruhi looked at her daughter and suddenly frowned, she thought of when she had lost her mother,the pain she felt and although her father was there to raise her, the thought of Kyami being given to Akira should something happen to her filled her heart with fear. If he had abused her, she didn't want to think about what he would do to her little girl.

"Haruhi, what's wrong?" Ranka asked putting an arm around her.

"mom died when I was little, I was lucky though because I have you, if something happens to me while she's still small, I don't want her to be with Akira."

"Haruhi, I know it's still hard for you, and I know it's a scary thought, but do you really think those guys would ever let that happen?"

"I know they said they'll always be there, but dad, I can't expect them to take her like that. I need help raising her, not for them to have to do it for me."

"Do you remember when you were in the hospital after Kyami was born, that night they stayed. I told you that your little girl was very lucky didn't I?"

"Yeah, but-"

"They love her like she's their own daughter, and they love you. Akria will never hurt her because it they needed to, those hosts would take care of her. She's always going to be looking after. If it makes you feel better, you can tell them what's bothering you and there's no doubt in my mind that they'll say the same thing."

A knock at the door ended the conversation. Seconds after hearing the door open, the hosts appeared, they carried two suitcases each , Haruhi noticed Sylvia wasn't with Kaoru. She was curious but didn't ask.

She stood up and laid the child in her bassinet and walked over to greet them.

"Hey guys." She said hugging each of them.

"Hey Haruhi." The twins said in unison.

"Hello Haruhi, it's good to see you're home." Kyoya released her and they smiled at each other briefly.

"Hi Haru-Chan, how are you?"

"Fine. I'm glad you guys came."

"We'll always come when you need us." Tamaki promised. After she had hugged them, The hosts took their luggage to their rooms and returned to the living room.

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you do for us, you bought a house so we can raise Kyami in a better place, you bought all her clothes and Kaoru, you made her blankets, you took responsibility for her even though she's not biologically yours. It's only because you guys stepped in that I got to keep her. I love you all. I have to ask you guys for one more thing. "

"What is it?" Tamaki asked.

"I'm worried that if something happens to me, Akira would take her and I don't want that for her, if something did happen, if I couldn't be there, I know I'm asking a lot but would you guys-" she couldn't finish her question, she felt terrible for asking any more of them.

"Are you asking if we'll take her, if your father can't?" Kyoya asked.

"Or help him if he can. I just don't want Akira to take her, I want to know she'll be safe if I'm not here to protect her." The hosts smiled.

"Akira doesn't know where you are, but we won't let anything happen to her, just do us a favor." Hikaru said

"What?"

"Don't go anywhere anytime soon. " Haruhi smiled.

"Kyami was born in our music room, she's part of the host club,our little princess, the hosts take care of each other. Even if he tried, all we need to do is send Honey-Senpai."

"He wouldn't ever put his hands on her, he would lose them." Honey said.

"We can make those arrangements official if you like, it's not difficult." Kyoya added.

"You guys I- Thank you. I know you're giving up a lot and knowing she'll have you really helps, when I was in the hospital, the way you guys held her and spent the day with us, sometimes you guys would give her the little bottle of formula they brought in while I was asleep,so I could rest. It's what I would want from a good father for her and -"

"That's what happens when you have a child, it doesn't matter if you're the biological father Haruhi, what matters is that she's loved and cared for. We promised you that we would help you raise her and always take care of you two "

"You guys make it sound like you want to be dads to her." Haruhi said in astonishment.

"Well if we're doing all those things already-" Hikaru replied

"Why not?" Kaoru finished.

"You know that means for the next eighteen years you'd-"

"Parenting is a lifetime job, even when they grow, Kyami will keep us connected." Haruhi smiled. Their family would always be there, and Kyami would never know what it would be like to need anything, the hosts would see to that and Haruhi would always be grateful.
