Hikaru's P.O.V
I followed her into the restaurant in time to see two little girls hugging her legs. "Mommy!" they squealed. Jeanie, Haruhi, and Tamaki were sitting at a table nearby, smiling and waving at A.J. When they saw me, their eyes widened a little and Tamaki grinned. I shuffled over to the table and plopped down next to him. "How have you been?" Haruhi asked with a small smile. I shrugged and shot her a slight glare. "You didn't tell me you two got married!" I scowled. Haruhi blushed a little and Tamaki wrapped his arm around her. "We didn't tell anyone. We eloped," he explained. "Adrienne didn't even know until we got back from the honeymoon." A.J. soon took the seat beside me, the little girls sharing the seat on the opposite side of her. "They said Mommy...?" I whispered in confusion, giving A.J. a sideways glance. "Oh, where are my manners? These are my daughters, Hikaru. Lily and Rose Breaux," she spoke up. Her eyes stayed focused on the table. "You have...daughters. That's nice," I mumbled numbly.

"We're twins!" one giggled. "We're four years old!" the other chimed. "Four years old?" I repeated incredulously. I could feel A.J. tense beside me. "Are they adopted?" I asked. No one answered. I looked at the little girls, studying them intently. Rose had dark brown, almost black, hair and her mother's hazel eyes. She favored her mother very much, the only thing unlike A.J. aside from her hair was the girl's narrow, straight nose. Lily had strawberry-brown hair, kind of like mine for example-- but a little lighter-- and big olive-colored eyes. She didn't look like her twin, or like A.J. even. The gears in my head slowly started to turn until something clicked. I wasn't sure, but I needed to think about it. I needed to be alone. The chatter in the restaurant was suddenly deafening and the walls felt like they were closing in. I shoved myself away from the table and walked out, not even glancing back at A.J. as I ran the few blocks back to campus.

A.J. P.O.V
I let out a heavy sigh as I watched him run away. "You can't just go without telling him," Auntie warned. "Mommy, Rose gotta potty," Lily whispered. "Alright sweetie, you go with her," I answered, waiting until they were out of earshot to turn my attention back to Auntie. "What am I supposed to do? He's better off not knowing!" I hissed. "I can't just ruin his life like that. Besides, me and my babies are fine." Auntie crossed her arms and fixed her icy glare on me. "He deserves to know his daughters!" I slammed my fist on the table and glared right back. "We've been over this, dammit! I'm not going to force him to accept someone else's child. I'm not going to hold Hikaru accountable for what he did," I whispered, glancing over my shoulder when I saw them return. "Hey mon petites tatailles. Are you ready to order?" I asked, forcing a smile as I opened up a menu, pointing out different things to them. Auntie let out a heavy sigh but didn't push it. Haruhi, on the other hand, gave me a scolding look. "We'll talk about this later," she mouthed, picking up her menu and shielding her face from me. I was already second-guessing my decision to come back to Japan.
