Hoshiko walked into the house after a long flight and was greeted by Kimiko, "Welcome home, Takashi is upstairs studying."

"Has he left the room at all?" She let out a small laugh.

Kimiko shook her head as she headed for the stairs, "Not really but it is finals."

"Trust me I'm exhausted I know." Hoshiko headed for their room. She really was tired, doing a tour while studying for finals and completing them online was killer, as well as dealing with a few meetings at her company. When she opened the door she saw Takashi asleep at the desk his head on a theory of law book and smiled. Quietly walking over to him she placed a kiss on his cheek. She watched as his eyes fluttered open catching sight of her and he smiled pulling her down onto his lap.

"You're home." He wrapped his arms around her.

"I am." She laughed, "I missed you."

"I missed you too." He pressed his lips to hers, "How was the tour?"

"It was good, got to see Haruhi and Tamaki. They seem to be settling into Boston pretty well." She smiled up at him, "Tamaki misses you."

"I'll see him in a month." He ran his thumb over her cheek.

She nuzzles closer to his chest while reaching for his book, "Is it interesting?"

"Mmhmm." He rests his cheek on her head.

"That's good." She held back a yawn.

"Tired?" He asked but before she could answer he stood carrying her to the bed. Takashi lifted the covers and placed her on the bed, lying behind her, wrapping his arms around her. Running his finger over the ring on her hand he asked, "Are you sure you're ready?"

"I've been ready since the day you asked." She smiled.

He kissed the back of her neck, "Me too."

"Ma'am there's someone here to see you." The intercom on her desk went off.

"Let them in." Hoshiko smiled and looked up to see Kyoya coming through the door, "Congratulations on graduating."

"I have brought you my resume." He said handing her a file with a smile on his face.

She flipped open the file, "Kyoya Ootori, you're hired. You'll be taking over as director of finances here in Japan. We'll keep you there for a year or so to make sure you have a handle on everything. For future reference we would like to know where you see yourself in five years, Director of the Japanese or Korean branch."

"Where ever would be the best fit for me. But I would prefer to stay in Japan." He smiled at her.

"Very well." She stood and offered him her hand, "We're delighted to be working with you Mr. Ootori. If you have any questions or concerns then you can bring them to me."

Kyoya had heard what she said but had been distracted by her very pregnant stomach, "Hoshiko…"

She looked down with a bit of her laugh, "Yeah I'm only five months along. They're going to be as big as their father…"

"They're?" He asked. He knew she was pregnant but he didn't expect this when he saw her.

"Twins. They run on my side of the family. Boy and a girl." She nodded slowly, "If I get much bigger I might kill someone but at least Takashi takes care of me and I'm not performing anytime soon."

"You're still performing?" He asked as they both sat down in the office.

"Yeah, but lately I've just been composing and writing for other artists." She rested a hand on her stomach, "Creating it was the part I always enjoyed the most and it's nice to see what other artists do with it."

"Are you going to go back after you have them?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure yet it depends on a lot of things." She looked out the window, "I've sort of gotten used to this office and it's pretty easy running all three branches from here. And once you make it up the ladder I'll have less to worry about since there will only be one Acting Director left."

"Glad to be of service." Kyoya smiled.

"How'd your dad take the news?"

"He'd been expecting it and he didn't say he was disappointed so that's the only approval I'm getting." She smiled at him and nodded her head.

"Get ready, life in the entertainment industry is a wild one. You handled the Host Club so I know you can handle this."

All the hosts were there for Christmas dinner and they all laughed and smiled with each other. Tamaki and Haruhi had their new baby with them, Takashi and Hoshikos kids were playing with the wrapping paper, Honey and his wife were sitting on a single person chair together, the twins were laughing watching the baby twins, and Kyoya was sipping his tea talking with everyone.

Takashi picked up his twins with one arm each and brought them over to the dinner table, his son with green eyes and black hair and his daughter with brown hair and grey eyes, as dinner was almost ready.

Haruhi came and sat neck to Hoshiko who was sipping hot chocolate, "When are you due?"

"Mid July." Hoshiko smiled.

"Are you not going to release your own songs anymore then?" Haruhi looked at her, "I know you said that even with Takashi you found it hard with the kids, the company, and recording."

"I might still do it but I doubt I'll tour until their older again." She shrugged her shoulders and looked at her kids, "Hiroki took his first steps last week and Naomi is already using two word sentences. I don't want to miss that because I'm in America or Europe. Plus I've gotten really good at the companies with Kyoya and Chairman Flowers help."

"As long as you're happy." Haruhi smiled at her.

Hoshiko smiled back tickling her friend's baby's chin, "I am. What about you?"

"Couldn't be happier." Haruhi answered, "Oh where's Kimiko?"

"Studying abroad." She had a proud smile on her face, "She wants to be a doctor."

"Wow." Haruhi laughed, "And I thought I was crazy for law school."

"Dinner." Tamaki sang to everyone and they all piled around the table.

After dinner everyone had left and the twins were asleep in bed Takashi and Hoshiko were laying on the couch together by the fire. He had his hand placed on her stomach and she was nuzzled into his chest. He leaned down giving her a kiss on the forehead and when she looked up at him with a smile he gave her a kiss on the lips, "Are you sure you won't miss travelling?"

"I always miss you and the kids more." She put her head back on his chest, "You're stuck with me, because I'm not leaving Japan any time soon."

"I'm alright with that." He held her his wife closer to him.

Seven years ago she was in America with her father. She didn't want to come back to Japan after he died, but she had tried to find the bright side of it, had she known it was this, she wouldn't have hated it so much.
