Mori and Kyoya didn’t leave for a while. The told Carter to go shower and get dressed in something that would allow for her wounds to be looked at and by the time she came out in a loose tank-top and flowy skirt with a slit up to her hip, Mori was putting together a bed frame in her room and Kyoya was directing the placement of her table.
“You rich people are nuts,” She mutters, holding her injured shoulder in a bad way as she couldn’t get the sling on by herself. “Some of us, but the ones you’re currently in the presence of are just efficient and care,” Kyoya says, putting down his phone and placing the sling on Carter, adjusting it with ease. “Honey senpai is on his way with twins. Honey senpai picked out kitchenware and picked up pots and pans that Mori senpai chose. The twins’ mother was shown a picture of you and Ella and they are on their way with quite a few loads of clothing,”
“What did Tamaki say about all of this?” Carter asks, hoping one of the members of the club was sane. “He grabbed Haruhi to go get decorations and shelves for your plants,” Mori shrugs, dabbing a cotton ball of alcohol on the lightly bleeding wounds on head head and arm.
“Not to mention he strives for my approval, so he asked for what I thought you should have, so there are definitely things on their way,” Ranka says, stepping in with Ella who runs to her sister. “You got hurted again,” She says and pulls the skirt to the side, revealing how bad the gash on her thigh really was. “I’m pretty sure after I hit the tree, my leg caught a rock to make that one so bad,” Carter mumbles with a shrug and squats on one leg, the bad going to the side as she hugs her sister.
“Now now, lets get that bandaged,” Kyoya interrupts. “Senpai, can you put her on the counter, please,” It was as Kyoya starts cleaning the wound that everybody arrived. “Your favourite colour is green, right my darling daughter?” Tamaki asks and when Carter nods through the stinging on her leg, Tamaki exclaims in happiness before handing her a bag. 
“That is your cellphone, it already has all the club members numbers in it, Mommy and I are on speed dial. Oh! And Ella’s school number is in there as well,” He squeals and Carter just stares like a guppy. “So much money,” She mumbles, just looking around at all of the things being brought in by maids. 
“Actually, I knew you might have an issue with that,” Kyoya begins, allowing Mori to take over with wrapping the bandage around his love interests’ thigh. “You see, The bed is one that was just replaced in my household while the mattress is from a company that was looking for my family doctors to give them the ability to say doctor recommended. The dressers were from a room in the Morinozuka household, two spare rooms were just converted into a game room and a library,”
“Yeah, and these dishes and stuff are from people that wanted us to advertise for them at parties,” Honey says as he places the bags next to Carter. “Our mom made these by hand, so they couldn’t really be sold like the mass produced ones,” The twins shrugged aand Tamaki jumps forward, “Daddy bought stuff I just thought you would like because everyone else got what you needed,” 
“And I’ll be helping you with groceries until you find and are able to have a job,” Ranka begins and Kyoya cuts him off, “Actually, I believe I have to buy this weeks groceries according to the contract,” Kyoya says and Carter bursts out laughing, “You actually put it in?”
“Well yes, you were nearly unconscious when you did sign it, so I decided to give you that in hopes it would motivate me to keep you a little more safe,” Kyoya chuckles and Carter sticks out her bottom lip with tears in her eyes, “Awe, mommy actually cares about me!” She says and Mori chuckles, placing her on the ground so she can hug the shadow king.
“Sorry Ranka, but Tamaki and Kyoya adopted me yesterday. They’re my parents now,” Carter says, grabbing the two new parents arms. “Well if you’re accepting Tamaki as a parent as well, I’ll have to tell him of your new relationship status,” Kyoya smirks evilly and Tamaki goes rigid while Takashi starts inching behind Honey.
“Did Takashi ask her out?” Honey asks with a grin and the demonic expression, Tamaki slowly turns to the said tall man. “Actually, he couldn’t say it, so I did. Therefore, I asked him out, so back off, dad,” Carter says, sticking her tongue out at Tamaki, who goes to grow mushrooms in the corner.
“The twins are now my annoying brothers that enjoy scheming with my littlest sister,” She adds when she sees the three running around together. “Anyway, thank you guys for helping me and Ella,”
“You act like we’re heartless,” The twins mutter and one look of, ‘Are you sure about that?’ and they float off dejectedly. “Because of your correlation with Haruhi, it was only a matter of time before you were dragged in, I knew of you the moment you were put in the academy, but you knowing Haruhi was a beneficial factor and now most of us don’t have to call any services to take and donate things from our houses,” Kyoya states and Carter grins, “I didn’t hear anything except that you adopted me,”
Everyone in the room, aside from the workers, soon sat at the newly acquired table and ate takeout for a few hours until everyone had gone home except Mori and Kyoya. “Fair warning, there is a hidden camera on that back wall so whoever is guarding you will know if someone is coming in without permission,” Kyoya says and Carter grins with tears in her eyes, throwing her arm around the second years waist and hugging him as tightly as possible.
“Thank you,” She whispers and Kyoya, though shocked still for a moment, slowly smiles gently- something that would terrify most of the hosts since he usually only smiles out of evil intent- and hugs her back. “You will always be welcome,” He responds, patting her head and giving her a gentle smile once both have pulled away.
“Remember you have a doctors appointment on Monday after classes. But tomorrow, just settle in and recover from today,” With that, Kyoya takes his leave, patting Mori on the shoulder. “Bye,” Mori says, pressing a gentle kiss to Carters hand while the two stand in the doorway. When he stands back up, Carter grins and lifts up on her tippy-toes, pressing a kiss to his cheek.
“Bye, Mori,”

That night, Carter and Ella were dead asleep for a minimum of twelve hours, Ella, never having used a mattress before, and Carter, just over all exhausted and in need of a full night of sleep for the first time in years.
They wake up at near noon when Haruhi and Ranka walk in to wake them up for food. “Nope, I refuse to leave this bed,” Carter argues, holding tighter to the blanket that Ranka was tugging on. “You have to eat something today!” The parent argues until Carter's glare makes him flinch back.
“We’ll bring food in here so she can eat in bed, then,” Haruhi says, she and Ella walking in with a tray of food. “Ooooo, special treatme-ow!” Carter falls back down in pain as her shoulder sends aches down her back from moving. “I’m dying!” Carter exaggerates, feigning drama and smiling at Ellas giggles at her sister's shenanigans.
“So I was thinking,” Ranka begins with a smirk, “We have a movie marathon today?”
The girls cheer in excitement, all getting ready to switch to the Fujioka apartment in their pjs, “This means I have to get out of bed, doesn’t it?” Carter asks, putting all the family in a fit of laughter before they eventually make their way to the Disney marathon until all fall asleep well after dinner.
Ranka, being the parent he is, Carries Ella and Carter back to their own bed, tucking them in and locking up before doing the same for his daughter and home.
