Julia sighed:
“There are probably more vigilantes than police in the streets right now… I'm glad you're fine.”
Hong Kong had rioters and Tokyo had vigilantes... She then wondered how Lei was but she would let Elise ask.

"Yes, you're right. I'm lucky to be alive almost every day."
"So Wulong sent you to check on me... Why hasn't he called?"
"He honestly wanted someone to see how you are in person. You look fine. You honestly do. So there's that. And you look great, Julia." Zakk smiled.
"And how is Wulong doing?"
"Ehh... He's seen better days, that's for sure... But hanging in there."

Julia blushed and smiled while she lowered her head.
"And how is Wulong doing?"
"Ehh... He's seen better days, that's for sure... But hanging in there."
"I do hope that riot ends soon, and in a good way, all parties happy." said Julia before she asked Zakk:
"Have you finished your shift or do you go back later?"

"Yeah. They're bombing police cars and looting and raiding. The metro station got shut down."
Elise trembled in fear. What if Lei got bombed. What will she do? Elise couldn't handle raising a baby on her own. Lei had to survive!
Zakk noticed Elise panic, and added, "Everyone is fine, okay?"
"Have you finished your shift or do you go back later?"
"I'm done for now. Anyway. So I got some time. I do wonder... Weapon Omega..."
Elise winced. That was Aspen's project.

"Yeah. They're bombing police cars and looting and raiding. The metro station got shut down."
Julia widened her eyes in fear before she noticed Elise trembling in fear. So she changed her expression to a calmer one as Zakk kept speaking.
Zakk noticed Elise panic, and added, "Everyone is fine, okay?"
"Yes, the metro is shut down only for safety measures, and they probably only bombed one car, they are for the most part young students, they don't have the equipment to kill. There is always a more violent element in the crowd but they are a minority. Most of the damage is windows shattered and small fires. Beside Wulong knows how to defend himself."
She then changed the subject to not keep Elise on the same worrying one.
"Have you finished your shift or do you go back later?"
"I'm done for now. Anyway. So I got some time. I do wonder... Weapon Omega..."
Elise winced. That was Aspen's project.
Once more Julia started to listen.

When Julia explained that they were only students, a wave of relief passed through Elise.
"Yeah, you're right." Elise then pushed her food the side. For some odd reason, she wasn't hungry anymore, but suddenly became nauseous.
"The baby is going to be just like its father. Making me worry over nothing!"
Elise then covered her mouth as she had realized what she has said.
Zakk wasn't going to ask any more questions. As now, he was wondering... How did she get pregnant again?
"I'm going to be a brother again?"

"The baby is going to be just like its father. Making me worry over nothing!"
As Elise covered her mouth, Julia realised that her 'mother-in-law' was really pregnant. And apparently didn't want to tell it yet.
"I'm going to be a brother again?"
Julia smiled and said: "Apparently, yes."
Still smiling, she turned to Elise and told her: "Congratulation for your soon to be born beautiful baby!"

"Well, I'm not in the clear yet. I'm running some tests on the kid just to make sure that I won't have another miscarriage. But I am very hopeful about this. I am going to tell Wulong about this in person."
"I see... So what's going to happen?"
"That's the scary part." Elise sighed. "I honestly don't know how Wulong will react."
"He's going to be very happy, won't he, Julia?! He's just going to be so excited!"
"I sure hope so. Tch. Well, at least we're married this time and we actually have enough resources and space for a child."
"What? Why wasn't I invited?" Zakk complained.

"He's going to be very happy, won't he, Julia?! He's just going to be so excited!"
“Of course, he will! He loves children! It’s so obvious!”
"I sure hope so. Tch. Well, at least we're married this time and we actually have enough resources and space for a child."
"What? Why wasn't I invited?" Zakk complained.
Julia was also surprised to learn about the marriage. So Wulong finally made his demand? She then told Zakk:
“I guess your father felt too nervous like he did for his demand on the boat. Anyway a wedding is mostly something between two persons, the rest is decorum. You know if your father had felt fine with people, you would be among the first he would invite.”

"Because there was no wedding. It was just a marriage of convenience. That way, I could legally live in Hong-Kong. And Wulong only wants a private wedding... If we have one, that is."
"I see..."
"And now I'm all the way out here in Japan. This long 30-year marriage is already off to a rocky start."

"Because there was no wedding. It was just a marriage of convenience. That way, I could legally live in Hong-Kong. And Wulong only wants a private wedding... If we have one, that is."
"I see..."
"Yes, that does explain everything and makes much sense."
"And now I'm all the way out here in Japan. This long 30-year marriage is already off to a rocky start."
"It doesn't mean it will not go smoothly soon. You love each other and you have faced many things together. I think everything will be fine." said Julia who swiftly gazed and smiled at Zakk as she said that. They also faced things together...

"You're right." Elise said, remaining hopeful. "We'll be fine... It feels good to have someone to share this with than to keep it a secret. I just didn't want anyone to undermine or give me special treatment just because I am pregnant. I never talked about our marriage because we never had a wedding. We don't feel married. We still feel like we're engaged."
Zakk smiled as he placed his hand over Julia's. Elise told the pair to wait before she ran off.
"She seems really excited about this."

Julia appreciated Zakk’s gesture and smiled again. She also wondered what Elise was doing exactly…
"Yeah, she does. I’m kind of excited too…"

"I haven't seen her this excited since she first met Pops. I'm just as curious as you are. I wonder what she is doing."
