Mentions of rape and miscarriage

The beach trip ends up getting moved to being two weeks later and while Carter is informed that it was for the purpose of making sure more clients can come, but Mori had other plans. Involving two wonderful females’ birthdays. The twins were distracting Carter and Ella while the rest decorated the club room. 
“Her father signed the papers, luckily he didn’t want to see her so we didn’t have to re-introduce that trauma,” Kyoya says and Takashi smirks, walking over to the male to show him the present he got her. “She has no clue, does she? She thinks all she gets is a contract,” Kyoya gaps and Mori nods, sticking it back in his pocket. 
“The twins said that Carter might be having sinus issues,” Haruhi says when Tamaki goes to place a vase of roses on the tables. “No flowers,” Honey nods in agreeance. They only get about ten more minutes before the twins burst into the room. “Ella had to use the bathroom, they’ll be here in a minute,” 
And within the minute, the entire club is shouting surprise as the girls walk in, Carters jaw dropping. “I seem to remember not telling you what day my birthday is,” Carter giggles, whipping away the beginning of tears. “Yes, but no hiding anything from mommy,” Kyoya smirks and Carter leans on him, hugging his waist. 
“Sissy has a birthday?” Ella asks and Tamaki nods, “Right before yours,” He says, picking up the little girls and giving her a high five. “Yay!” Ella squeals and jumps down, running to hug her sisters legs. “And whose idea was this?” Carter asks, looking between her friends, mainly eyeing her fiance. “Mainly everyones. Mori senpai was originally planning on stealing you for himself,” Haruhi says, hugging Carter tightly until the girl winces.
“You okay?” Kaoru asks and Carter nods, “Pretty sure that now that I’m not malnourished, my body is readjusting,” She says and everybody nods in acceptance except for Kyoya who smirks. Her doctors appointment had ended up cancelled because she was late to class again and the teacher kept her an hour after club ended, which royally ticked off the club.
“Presents and cake, let’s go!” Hikaru says and everyone nods, Carter ending up crying over every gift, whether is was plants, new glasses, clothes, or the many pieces of jewelry. Pouting when she was laughed at and leaning into the couch. “Thank you guys, so much,” Carter sobs and Kyoya chuckles, secretly scheduling a new doctors appointment for in a month as well as one with Mori’s parents. 
“One more,” Mori said and knelt in front of Carter. “I’m sorry I let you believe you only got a contract from your father for an engagement, but I needed a little more time to get this,” The gentle giant pulls out a ring box, showing the vintage inspired, halo silver ring.
The tears start up again and Carter pulls Mori into a kiss, “I told you yes without a ring, I’ll tell you yes with one,” She says and the room cheers. “But I still am confused as to why you wanted to have my party in the club room on a saturday,”
“It’s where you met everyone except Haruhi. It’s your first birthday party in years, it’s a special place for you now. For all of us,”

After that, Haruhi took Ella home with her while Mori took Carter to his house where they watched movies, ate junk food, and maybe fooled around a little since his parents were on vacation while Satoshi stayed at Chikas house. Carter chilled for a while, enjoying the calmness of life, but when she woke up for school on Wednesday, three days before the beach trip, she had a few red flags. 
First, it was the back ache and migraine and while she thought it might be her period coming a little early, she couldn’t spend too much time pondering because she heard movement coming from her kitchen, despite Ella still sleeping beside her.
“Ella, wake up, be quiet,” Carter whispers, her heart rate speeding up as she sends a quick text to Haruhi and Ranka, saying, ‘someones here’. Once Ella was looking at her, Carter takes a deep breath, “Go crawl in the tote in the closet, don’t speak if you hear the door open. Call Kyoya,”
Ella nods and tip toes to where her sister said and as soon as Kyoya answered and Ella said, “Help,” The bedroom door opened and Carter gasps, looking into her father's eyes while holding on tightly to a flashlight behind her back.
“Hello, daughter,” He chuckles, waltzing into the room, nodding in approval at the furniture. “All of this from your pimp?” Trevor chuckles, putting his knuckle under Carters chin. “My fiance,” She spits back, instantly regretting speaking when he slaps her, the smell of his alcohol infused breath invading her senses and it takes everything in her not to vomit on him. 
“Whatever. Now that you have a cover, good work by the way,” Trevor begins and Carter can’t stop herself, “It’s not a cover, it’s love!” She growls and he bursts out laughing, “No, the boy needed a whore and you were a cheap one like your mother. Now, as I was saying- I know there are some rich druggies at your school, so you’re the new dealer, I’ll be back next week for the money,” Trevor tosses a plastic bag of multiple pills and baggies onto his eldest daughters lap. 
“And I’ll kill Ally if you don’t do as I said,” Trevor then leaves the room and the moment Carter hears the front door slam, she runs out, locking it behind him before the resolve breaks and she manages to get to the sink before she throws up. “Sissy, you okay?” Ella asks, waddling out of the bedroom cautiously, watching as her sister slides to the ground against the cabinets.
Carter doesn’t say anything and just pulls Ella into her arms, sobbing into the child's hair until she screams in shock from someone banging on her door. Her first instinct to grab a kitchen knife and push Ella behind her while standing up. “Carter! It’s me!” Kyoya yells and Carter runs to the door, ripping it open and throwing herself in the males arms. “He had a key!” She sobs, not even noticing the pj’s that the man was still clad in. 
“You aren’t staying here anymore. The guard I had on you for the night… Someone got to him first,” Kyoya whispers, looking over to Ella, “Sweetie, can you turn on the sink and then call Mori senpai?” Kyoya asks and Ella nods, following the male to the bedroom after turning on the sink, speed dialing Mori.
“Hello?” Mori answers as he climbs into his limo with Honey, on his way to pick up Carter. “Bad man came inside this morning. Mommy’s here, but sissy sick,” Ella hums and Mori bangs on the privacy screen, “Fast as you can, now!” He says and goes back on the phone. “Ella, princess, which bad man?” He asks and Ella has to think for a moment. “Fadder? He want sissy to make money or he kill… Ally? Who is Ally?”
Mori doesn’t get the chance to answer before the limo arrives at the apartment complex and he and Honey are jumping out, running to the door. The police at the door instantly recognise and step aside, letting the two in. While Honey stops the sink and goes to entertain and gently explain things to Ella, Mori follows the sound of gagging and sees Kyoya holding Carter's hair back as she hunches over a toilet and sobs, holding onto her stomach.
“She is staying with you, or she is staying with me,” Kyoya says, whipping Carters face with a wet rag and helping her lean back against the wall. “With how sick she is right now, you might be best,” Takashi says and Kyoya hums. “How about you go pack her and Ella some bags so they can stay with you where they will feel safe and secure. I can send a doctor over if needed,” Kyoya says and Mori nods, pecking Carters forehead and leaving the bathroom.
“Carter, do you think you’re pregnant or have the flu?” Kyoya asks calmly and Carter giggles tiredly at him. “Pregnant. I felt just like this before I had the miscarriage,” She whispers before passing out from the stress, leaving Kyoya in shock.
