“Why does Tamaki’s dad want to talk to me?” Carter whines as Kyoya forces his support on the heavily pregnant woman to the seating area. “He wants to meet Haruhi as well and you have been on your feet too much today,”
“I’m pregnant and not labeled as high risk. You should be thanking me for doing all of this baking,” Carter growls, pushing him off of her so she can waddle by herself, ignoring the many stares. “Ah, Haruhi Fujioka and Carter Mills,” Mr Suoh begins and the girls instantly frown, “Um, I actually go by Carter Morinozuka now, but it is wonderful to finally meet you, Mr Suoh,” Carter smiles and Haruhi says her own greeting.
“Mr. Suoh is so formal… how about Uncle? It would please me greatly to be called Uncle,” He blushes and the girls’ jaws drop, no doubt he’s Tamaki’s father. When the girls nod, he smiles brightly, handing them roses and saying they have to call him if they ever need anything. But as Tamaki starts to yell at his father, the sound of a slap sounds through the room and as soon as Carter see’s who it is, she is livid. 
“I’m gonna kill him,” She growls, pushing herself up, but she only manages a few steps before Takashi and Honey are grabbing her arms and holding her back while Haruhi tries to calm her down. “No, what the hell kind of parent hits their kid during what should have been a civil conversat-”
Carter cuts herself off, taking a deep breath and wincing through a braxton hick. “Carter, are you okay?” Takashi asks worriedly while the others go to check on Kyoya, who brushes them off and stalks out of the room. Even braxton hicks worried the club at this point. Her belly had dropped a week earlier and her due date was the next day.
It takes a few seconds of recuperation for Carter to nod, rubbing the twins as they continue their rebellious kicking. “Yeah, your kids just decided to let me know it’s a little cramped in there for a braxton hick,” She groans, leaning on his chest.
“I wanna hurt Kyoyas dad,” she mumbles and he nods, pecking the crown of her head. “We all do,” He responds before grabbing her hand and following the club to where they were watching Tamaki interact with his grandmother. The rudeness and stature of the grandmother and the girl have Carter rubbing her temples.
“I’m going back to the kitchen where I won’t get pissed off at anyone elses family members,”

“I’m declaring war,” Carter states as she takes Ellas hand the girls follow Takashi out the door. “No, mama bear, war is not a good plan… right at this minute,” Satoshi reasons while Takashi is too scared to tell his wife no. Carter hadn’t been able to sleep last night because the twins were kicking so much and because she was so mad about the obviously forced engagement Honey told her about.
“I don’t know, maybe the rage will get the worms to come out faster,” Chika chuckles, wincing when Honey wacks him over the head with Usa-chan. “My worms have two more weeks to stay inside until I’m evicting them. One if they don’t chill with no sleep thing,” She grumbles, straightening out the ankle length sundress.
“I just want the club to be okay while I’m not there and from what I can tell, there won’t be a damn club,” That one sentence had everyone silent on the way to the fair. Ella was attending with her sister today while the middle schoolers went to look at the highschool kendo club.
While placing the fresh treats on the cart for Haruhi, Kyoya called the two girls over to Eclair, despite Takashi’s warning text to all of the club to not let her near the woman. 
While the redhead was talking to Haruhi, Carter didn’t hear a word, busy breathing through a longer than usual braxton hick. As soon as it was over, Haruhi was dragging Carter away where they were intercepted at the cart. Any Kyoya there stated that Haruhi’s debt was paid.
The girls were frozen and didn’t say anything, even as Kyoya’s dad comes in. Though, Haruhi was very quick to tell him off. Mori had been watching the entire time and sighed, walking over to Carter, “Are you feeling alright?” He asks and Carter wanted to say yes, but she knew she wasn’t.
“No, I’m sad and exhausted,” She states and Mori nods, calling Snail and Ella over from their table of treats. “I’m going to send you three home, okay? Call us if you need anything,” Takashi states and the twins walk with them down to the limo. “Ella, help mommy get some sleep, okay? Be good, I love you two,” With that, the driver takes the girls and dog back to the Morinozuka estate where the three climb into Carter and Takashi’s bed to fall asleep.
After a few hours, Carter woke up to another braxton hick, but the volume of tightness and pain let her know that she hasn’t had a braxton hick all day. They were contractions. It was nearing sundown, so Carter pulls out her phone and dial Takashi and Mori for a three way phone call.
“Hello?” They both answer from right next to each other, a little confused. “Hi, sooo, what are you two doing at the moment?” She asks with a nervous chuckle, grimacing when she can feel another contraction coming on, meaning there was only about a six minute gap. “Tamaki just jumped off of a bridge for Haru-chan!”
Carter can’t even gasp as she groans through the contraction, biting her lip as fluid splashes onto the ground. “Why, what’s going on?” Kyoya asks and Carter nervously laugh, “Well, funny story… My water just bro-” The signal cuts out, but the males all manage to hear the warning bark.
“Guys! We gotta go, Carters in labour and somethings wrong!” Honey yells and the four others run over, jumping into the car and discussing what could be happening, Kyoya checks his phone and growls, slamming in shut. “The team made their move on the American syndicate. They go Nick and Trevor, but James got away,”
“Call Kasanoda,”
