I'm really excited to finally start writing this story. Sakura02 and I had a lot of fun coming up with the plot and ideas for this story so I hope all of you enjoy this story!

Haruhi sighed as she made her way to the 3rd Music Room. She looked down at the small baby she held in her arms. "How am I going to explain you to Tamaki-senpai and the others?"

"Ah, there you are, Haruhi." Kaoru was the first to greet Haruhi as she came in the room. He blinked when he saw the baby in Haruhi's arms. "What's that?"

Haruhi refrained from rolling her eyes. "She's a baby." Haruhi took a few steps back as the rest of the Host Club came over to see what was going on. "She's my cousin's daughter. My cousin didn't want her so she sent her to my dad and my dad didn't want to take care of her so he sent her to me."

Tamaki squealed and skipped over. "It's a commoner's baby! That's so adorable!"

This time, Haruhi rolled her eyes. "Anyways, I'm going to have to bring Tsuku with me from now on. I hope that's okay."

"Why is her name Tsuku?" Tamaki asked curiously, peering at the still sleeping baby.

Tsuku's small fist shot out from under her blanket, hitting Tamaki in the face as hard as a baby could hit. She sleepily opened her lavender eyes and frowned at Tamaki. She blew a spit bubble at him and buried her face in Haruhi's shirt.

Haruhi suppressed a laugh. "She has a tendency to hit or attack anything that she doesn't like."

Hunny bounded over and peered curiously at Tsuku. "Can I hold her, Haru-chan?"

Haruhi reluctantly allowed Hunny to take Tsuku from her. Hunny giggled and held Tsuku up in the air. The blanket had fallen off of Tsuku and her arms were completely free. She waved them around excitedly, blowing spit bubbles.

Tamaki pouted. "Why isn't she hitting Hunny?"

"Tsuku-chan likes me!"

Haruhi gently took Tsuku from Hunny. She looked at Kyoya. "So, is it alright if I bring Tsuku?"

Kyoya sighed. "I suppose. We could always use her to attract more customers."

Tsuku startled everyone when she began screaming at the top of her tiny lungs. She reached up with her hands and waved them in the air frantically.

Tamaki began to panic. "What's wrong with her!?"

Haruhi rolled her eyes. "Mori-senpai, can you hold her for a minute?"

Mori came over and held Tsuku with one arm. He smoothed the small wisps of brown hair down onto Tsuku's head. He smiled softly. "Hello, Tsuku-hime."

Haruhi dug around in the small bag she had slung over her shoulder. She pulled out a small bottle and held her arms out for Mori to give Tsuku back. Once he did, Haruhi held the bottle up to Tsuku's mouth.

Tsuku happily gripped onto the bottle and drank quickly, milk dribbling out of her mouth. She pouted when Haruhi took the empty bottle from her. She let out a small burp as Haruhi gently patted her back.

Kaoru cautiously came over and poked Tsuku in the stomach. He screeched when Tsuku slapped at him. "It's evil!" He ran back over to stand by his brother.

Hikaru mimicked his brother's actions, poking Tsuku in her stomach. He closed his eyes tightly, waiting to be slapped. He was surprised when he heard a giggle instead. He opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Tsuku holding her arms out to him. He looked questioningly at Haruhi. "Can I hold her?"

Kaoru pouted. "Why'd she hit me and not Hikaru?"

Hikaru grinned triumphantly. "She clearly knows who the better twin is."

Tamaki stood beside Hikaru and poked Tsuku in the cheek. "I don't see how she can automatically dislike or like people." He suddenly let out a small shriek. "She's biting my finger!"

Haruhi rolled her eyes. She seemed to be doing that a lot today. "She's teething right now. You shouldn't put your fingers so close to her mouth, Tamaki-senpai. "

"She's going to gnaw my finger off!"

Hikaru laughed. "Yes, she's going to bite through your finger with her one tiny tooth."

Haruhi took Tsuku back, allowing Tamaki to pull his finger from Tsuku's mouth. She sighed as Tsuku began screaming at the top of her lungs. Tears poured down her chubby cheeks. "Mori-senpai, can you hold her again?"

Mori took Tsuku and sat on the couch with her. He waved his tie in her face and almost smiled when she began chewing on it, her tears immediately stopping. "Is that better, Tsuku-hime?"

Tsuku smiled up at Mori from around the tie. When Haruhi tried to offer Tsuku her teething ring, Tsuku turned away from her and continued to happily chew on Mori's tie.

"It's okay, Haruhi."

At that moment, many customers began to fill the room. Mori tried to hide Tsuku from sight but it was too late; she'd been spotted.

"She's adorable!"

"She kinda looks like Tamaki-sama!"

"Is she your sister?"

Mori held Tsuku high in the air, away from grasping hands. Haruhi stood beside him. She held her arms out and waited patiently for Mori to put Tsuku back in her arms. Once he did, she smiled brightly at all the squealing girls. "This is Tsuku. She's my cousin and will be staying with me for awhile. I hope that's okay with all of you."

"Can I hold her?"

"How old is she?"

Haruhi quickly hid behind Mori. She looked down at Tsuku's cranky face and cringed. She looked pleadingly at Kyoya. "It's her naptime."

Kyoya sighed and stepped forward, silencing the girls. "I know this is all very exciting, but let's settle down. It's time for Tsuku-hime's nap."

Haruhi wasn't sure how Kyoya managed it, but within five minutes, a small rocking baby cradle was in the room, placed beside Haruhi's table. She smiled gratefully at him. Haruhi gently placed Tsuku into the fancy cradle and rocked it slowly back and forth.

Tsuku sleepily took in all her surroundings. She didn't care for the squealing creatures. She liked most of the giants except for the loud one with purple eyes and the one that looked like the nice giant. Her tooth began hurting her again and she started crying at the top of her lungs until Mori came over, giving Tsuku his tie. She chewed contently on the tie and slowly fell asleep.
