Highschool Sweethearts(OHSHC)

Chapter 13

Carter woke up with a gasp, sitting up and looking around the room- the panic in her chest rising as she didn’t recognise anything. That is-until she noticed the blanket on her was Mori’s comforter she stole from his bed that morning- as well as the oxygen tube against her nose that had to have been Kyoya’s doing.
After calming for a second, she wrapped up in the comforter and walked out of the room towards voices, carrying the mini oxygen machine, not knowing if she still needed it since her lungs and throat were currently burning.
She stood in the doorway of the kitchen with wide eyes, just wanting to cower away from the tension that was visible between Tamaki and Haruhi. “Hello?” Carter says quietly and everyone's heads snap up to her, Mori literally knocking his chair over while rushing to her. 
“You scared the hell outta me,” He grumbles, scooping her into his arms and walking to the table to take his seat next to Kyoya back, the said shadow king instantly checking the oxygen machine and Carter's heart rate. 
“You are a scary woman,” Hikaru states and Kaoru nods, “You should’ve slept through the night and not been able to walk when you got up,” The twin adds and Carter pouts, rubbing her chest- which happened to be the sorest of her bruises. “You had to have CPR, coughed up half the ocean and passed out, but that was a damn good knee,” Kyoya chuckles and Carter frowns.
“That explains the chest pains past the sore boobs,” She says and Mori nods, peaking under the blanket just to check and growling in anger, shocking his fiance. “Kashi?” She asks as the male stands, setting her on his chair and stalking outside, Honey sighing and joining him.
“Why is he so upset?” Carter asks as the twins, Haruhi, and Tamaki think the same thing. Kyoya was the one that helped Mori bath her, so he saw the traces of forming bruises already. “You didn’t look, did you?” Kyoya asks and Carter shakes her head, “I didn’t have any glasses, how am I supposed to see things?” She asks and Kyoys sighs, pulling yet another spare pair-but in her usual gamine style- out of his pocket.
The girl pulls them on and pulls the blanket off of her, gapping at the sight. The entire right side of her body was still red from it’s impact with the water, but from her tanktop, finger shaped bruises poked out, being joined together by a large circle one from where she got CPR.
The twins, Tamaki, and Haruhi stared at the bruises they could see over the table while Carters gaze went below, her fingers tracing over the hand prints on her waist and the bits peaking out from under her underwear. Not to mention her entire left knee was black and swollen. 
“At least I kneed him hard enough,” Carter giggles, trying to make light of the situation, making Kyoya groan, “Yes you did. Let’s just say you did so well kneeing him that he won’t have a reason to be in the situation to be kneed ever again,”
“Did I break his-?” Carter begins and Kyoya chuckles at the twins’ expression of fear, “Actually, you burst it,” Carter bursts into a fit of giggles, eventually calming down and sighing, poking at her belly. 
“Is it okay that I’ve been losing weight? I feel heavier, but the scale and amount of food I actually manage to keep down says otherwise,” Carter asks right as Haruhi runs off to puke up five pounds of seafood. “As long as you aren’t passing out from walking, you’re not unhealthy. You’ll be getting your first ultrasound on Monday since it is the physical exams, so we can make sure the baby is okay as well. We just need to find a food that you can keep down,”
Carter groans at the ending statement, “Well, the food I’ve been craving, I am not allowed to have. So I don’t know where to go from there,” Kyoya purses his lips at the statement, muttering a small, “Of course you would crave sushi,” before rolling his eyes and standing up, “Well you can just go look through the kitchen for something appealing. I need to make a few phone calls and get a shower,”
Carter pouts at being left alone, not even having Ella since the sister was having a sleepover with Kirimi-something Carter objected to because of the debauchery incident. But the begging and lack of babysitter won over. But she sighs, walking to the kitchen and grinning when her eyes are caught by the fruit bowl filled with pears and plums. 
Lacking any care, she hops up onto the counter with a damp rag and the bowl of fruit, savouring every bite until she is full. “I think you have a surprise for everyone,” She whispers with her hand on her belly, talking to the growing ball of cells in there.
But her one sided conversation with her future child is interrupted by the sound of thunder erupting through the house, lightning flashing outside, and the power flickering off. “Hope Haruhi is okay,” She mumbles before gasping in realisation that Honey and Mori were still outside.
The girl abandons her blanket on the counter and runs to the door, ripping it open right as the two males step onto the porch. “Are you two okay?” She asks, pulling them in and running her fingers over the scuff marks on their faces. “Don’t worry about us, Carter Chan!” Honey giggles, grabbing her hand and swinging it while Mori holds her other one against his face and leans into the touch.
“Takashi needed to release some rage, so we spared outside until the rain started,” Honey giggles and Carter nods with a sigh. “Come to the kitchen so I can put cream on these bruises,” She says, not letting them answer before dragging them by their hands.
Once she had the cream out with a dry towel, she instantly started treating Honey, but when she reached up for her fiance, she was lifted to sit on the counter so she was level with him. Honey simply smiled at the cute interaction and left the room to shower and go to bed. “So, did Honey win or did he feel lazy today?” Carter giggles and Mori smirks, pecking a gentle kiss on her lips while resting his hands on her bruised hips. 
“He went easy so I could keep going until I felt a little better,” Mori says and Carter hums, rubbing the last of the cream in. “Your turn,” The elder murmurs, grabbing the bruise cream, blanket, and his girl, carrying them to their bedroom. “While you were unconscious,” Takashi begins, lifting her shirt and starting with the handprints, neither of them thinking anything of it as the male tends to her. “Kyoya and I discussed another safety precaution for you and Ella.”
Takashi pulls her shirt back down, pressing a kiss on her belly as he pulls down her boyshorts and starts on her hips, “He said you like dogs, so after your appointment tomorrow, we’re going to a training facility and looking at their trained protection dogs so you can take your pick,”
Carter pouts, but nods, “What if I just get a protective dog from the shelter?” She suggests and Takashi chuckles, pulling her underwear back up and making his way to the bathroom for a shower, “After your major dangers are in jail, I promise we’ll get pets. But for now, you need a bodyguard that we don’t have to worry about being undercover or a pervert,”
“Okay, but what about Ella?” Carter asks and he nods, heading into the bathroom and stripping while Carter gets up and preps the shower for him. “She is going to be with you until the court case or with me, Mistkuni, Satoshi, or Yasuchika. Even at her school, Satoshi is a few rooms away, so they’ll be able to protect her there and they both said they will start riding in the limo with her,”
Carter takes deep breath, kissing him passionately. “Alright, I guess that works you over protective giant,” She says when they break apart and Mori chuckles, lightly pecking her forehead, “Go to bed, babe. I’ll join you in a few minutes,”
