Chapter Seven: A Matter Of Misconceptions
Haruhi woke the next morning, as tired as she was the night previous, to the cries of Kyoichi. She forced herself to get up, and went to retrieve her son. Scooping him into her arms, she changed his diaper, and brought him to the kitchen where she found Mitsukuni sitting at the table eating some chocolate chip pancakes smothered in maple syrup and powdered sugar. Haruhi set the baby in the highchair and opened the fridge. She pulled out a bottle and warmed it, before giving it to her son.
After she fed him, she kissed his forehead, and Mitsukuni's as well. "I don't know what time I'll be home tonight, but I will try to be back before nine this time." she grinned sheepishly.
"Okay, Haru-chan. I'll watch Kyoichi for you. Oh! Can I pick the movie this time?"
"Sure." Haruhi said with a smile. "I don't mind."
She returned to her room to dress for work, grabbed her briefcase, and then left. On the way to the office, she mused over her papers, and typed a bit on herlaptop. Agito Mai would be proven innocent, she was sure of it. The limo pulled up in front of her office and she made her way to the elevators.
"Ah! Someone, please hold the doors!" she called as she rushed down the hall.
A hand gripped the doors and held it as Haruhi collapsed against the wall of the elevator out of breath. "Thanks..." she gasped.
"No problem. Actually, I was looking for you." a feminine voice told her.
Haruhi looked up and saw the familiar long red hair, and wide grin of the cheerful detective. She managed a smile of her own.
"Oh! Kaorie! Have you found any more evidence in the case?" she asked her new friend.
"Actually yes." she handed her a file. "The DNA results are in. Seems like the murderer was related to the victim."
Haruhi let out a relieved sigh. "Good. That just makes this case closed. The only
'Evidence' against my client is circumstantial at best. We'll win this one."
Honda Kaorie grinned at her. "I knew it. There was no way that she could have done it."
"The only thing to do now, is inform the judge."
Three hours later, Haruhi and the prosecutor were in the judges chambers arguing their points, and a date for the trial was moved up. Haruhi was told she could go home early, seeing as she had done all she could.
She was on her way to the limo, when Kaorie jogged up to her.
"Hey, Haruhi!" she called.
Haruhi turned. "Yeah?"
"After the trial next week, what say you get a babysitter for your kid, and we go out for a drink to celebrate? Bring those friends you told me so much about." she offered.
"Um...I don't know..." she began worriedly.
"Come on, it'll be okay right? Just hire a sitter from that autism center to come and watch him for a night, and we can go out. He'll be fine, they know what they are doing."
Haruhi thought about it before smiling and nodding. "Okay. I think I will. I'll call up the others tonight when I get home. I'm sure they'll be up for it...but just so you know though, my friends...well...they can be a handful. They are very clingy and I don't want them to scare you away."
"No worries. I have an older and a younger brother. Both have attention deficit disorders...so I'm used to it." she grinned. "I'll see you tomorrow okay?"
"Sure thing!" Haruhi grinned with a wave before getting into the limo.
When Haruhi returned home, she noticed that the second limo was gone. Curious she found Mitsukuni and asked him about it.
"Oh that. Yeah, Takashi had to go home for a while. He'll be back sometime later in the week. His father needs him a the dojo, to help train the new recruits. He will be staying there for around three to five days." he told her.
"Oh. Okay." Haruhi said. "By the way, my case is bound to close with a win for us, so I was wondering if you wanted to go out for a drink to celebrate? You'll get to meet one of my friends from the office. She is really excited to meet my "Host Club" friends." Haruhi said to him.
"Really!" Asked Mitsukuni happily before his face filled with confusion. "Who will watch Kyoichi?"
"I'm going to call the center and see if one of them can come to the house and baby-sit for the night." she revealed. "I also have to call Tamaki, Hikaru and Kaoru. Takashi too I suppose, since he isn't here."
Haruhi made her way to the phone in the living room. Lifting the receiver to her ear and dialed.
The phone rang twice before Tamaki picked up. "Hello?" he asked.
"Tamaki? It's Haruhi." she began.
"Haruhi? Haruhi! My darling daughter, how have you been? Oh we must get together and
catch up! Oh! How about right now?" he said excited.
"Uh...no. How about this Sunday? We are about to close a case, and I was wondering if you wanted to go out for drinks to celebrate?"
"Yes! Oh happy day! My daughter, my Haruhi, wants to spend some quality time with her loving father! Oh I am so overjoyed!"
"Yes...well...I'll see you then. Bye." Haruhi hung up. "If that is how he is going to act, then I dread calling the twins."
Soon she was on the phone with them as well, and they of course, informed her that not only would they be there, but that they would be sending their maids with a new outfit straight off the Hitachin line. One of their best works according to Hikaru. With a sigh, she told them that it was fine, and that she would do as they asked.
Hanging up she lifted the phone to her ear once more and dialed Takashi's cell. He picked up on the first ring. "Ah." he said.
"Takashi? It's Haruhi." she said. "Mitsukuni told me what was going on and I don't mean to disturb you, but I have one question."
"Yes?" he asked her.
"On Sunday the rest of us are going out for a drink to celebrate the outcome of the trial. I've already gotten a babysitter for Kyoichi and was wondering if you wanted to come as well. The entire Host Club will be there."
"..."
Haruhi took his silence as a question. "Haha. Of course Kyoya will not be invited, don't worry." she laughed. "I meant the 'remainder' of the club."
"I see." his voice had a tone of amusement in it. "I will come."
"Thanks Takashi!" she said happily. "I don't think I could handle the others on my own. You know how the twins get, Tamaki as well. Mitsukuni will probably have a few drinks and then be done. I'm glad to have someone there that I will actually be able to talk to without worrying about them passing out on me." she laughed.
"Yes."
"Well I'll let you go. I'm sure you have lots of training to do. I'll see you on Sunday. Bye."
After she hung up she went to play with Kyoichi.
"Hey, Mitsukuni?" Haruhi asked her friend. "I am going to take a shower, then a nap...can you watch the baby for a while?"
"Uh huh." he affirmed. "I'll watch him. Go relax, 'kay?"
"Thanks." she said gratefully handing him over.
"Hello Kyo-chan!" cooed Mitsukuni. "Wanna learn how to say mommy?"
The baby gurgled at him happily, so Mitsukuni carried him to the pictures on the table.
He pointed to Haruhi's picture. "Say Mama." he told him. "Mama."
Mitsukuni tried for ten minutes before he gave up. He tried a different tactic. "Can you say Uncle Kuni? Kuni?" again he tried and failed to get him to speak.
He sighed as he gave up. He turned to walk out of the room when Kyoichi yelled loudly. Mitsukuni jumped in surprise. He tried to calm him down but he wasn't having it. Mitsukuni paced the hall and then went back into the room, where the baby quieted. He was confused. He was still crying but the yelling had stopped.
Kyoichi opened his mouth, "AhhhhhhWahhhhhhhhhahahhhh" he took a huge breath, "Wahhhhhhdadadadadaaaaa!"
Mitsukuni stared in shock. "Whose Dada?" he asked the baby as he stood in front of the photos.
He lifted Haruhi's. "Mama." he told him.
Kyoichi swatted the picture away. He reached for a different frame. "Dadadaaaa." he cried.
Mitsukuni picked up the picture in the middle. "Uncle Kuni." he said. "Kuni."
The baby screamed and hit the picture.
The blonds eyes widened as he picked up Takashi's picture. "Uncle Taka. Taka." he told him.
The baby smiled and laughed. "Adadadadadaaaadada." he said babbling happily.
"Dadada."
Mitsukuni held on to the picture and headed to Haruhi's room. He set the baby on the floor with his toys and set the picture on top of the television. I wonder what Haruhi will say when I tell her...
He was finishing feeding Kyoichi when Haruhi came out of her room. She smiled as she heard her baby gabbing.
"Is he saying Buh Buh?" she asked.
"Not exactly..." Mitsukuni said. "Haru-chan...sit down for this." he picked up the baby and walked past the pictures.
He started to fuss and cry as he passed them.
"So...he's being fussy?" Haruhi said.
"No." he turned and went back to the pictures. "I was trying to get him to say mama, to surprise you...but he hit it away, watch."
Haruhi watched as Mitsukuni attempted to get Kyoichi to say mama by holding the picture up. "Mama." he instructed.
The photo was knocked out of his hand.
"Uncle Kuni. Kuni." he tried again, and again the picture was pushed away.
Mitsukuni looked at Haruhi meaningfully. "Kyoichi, say Uncle Taka. Taka." he lifted the picture of Takashi up.
Haruhi watched as her baby smiled and said. "Daadaa!" he waved his arms and bounced happily. "Dadadada!"
Haruhi felt faint. "Oh my..." she said as she slumped back.
