"We might have to..." She tilts her head.
Lee then asked about Shun.
"Oh, that's a Eurasian orphan Wulong and I both adopted. He had to protect him during a case and decided to go on ahead and adopt him. He's a half-breed. Nobody will adopt him. He's adjusting just fine, but he misses me."
She runs her abdomen, sighing as she thought to herself. "Wulong and I were going to start trying after the war... But... I guess fate has other plans for us."

Lee was quite sensible to adopted kids, that was one of the reasons why he appreciated Julia so much. Shun must be a really nice kid.
"Yes, bring him to his mother! He really needs you!"
She runs her abdomen, sighing as she thought to herself. "Wulong and I were going to start trying after the war... But... I guess fate has other plans for us."
“I guess fate mostly need you all to be here. Well again, good luck and say hi to Shun for me, even though he doesn’t know me. And take care of yourself. Wulong may be overprotective but you must not overexert yourself either.”

"I guess fate mostly need you all to be here. Well again, good luck and say hi to Shun for me, even though he doesn’t know me. And take care of yourself. Wulong may be overprotective but you must not overexert yourself either.”
"I'm actually taking care of myself now. I'm going to be very careful now. I should be just fine..."
After waving Lee goodbye, she quickly made her way to the bedroom where she sat at the edge of the bed and began calling Lei. She waited for him to answer. However, instead, she was greeted with:
“Néih gui Lei Wulong. Ngóh yìh gā móuh nàhng lihk chōu jok dihn wá. Fūng mìhng yām jī hauh hái làuh yìhn. Or, if you sprechen sie Ingles, leave a message after the beep.”
Elise sighed. Just as she was going to leave a message, she heard a metallic voice declare, "The voicemail box is full."
She threw the phone down in frustration.
"Wulong, why do you always do this to me?"
Elise picked the phone back up. Lei was probably going to call her back anyway. Elise then left a text message:
"I'm coming to Hong-Kong tomorrow morning. I have to tell you something. Please call me back."
Elise called the landline. Of course nobody answered. She didn't leave a message, though. Finally, she called the police station and asked for Lei.
"I'm sorry Dr. Kristovitch. Lei didn't make it in to work today."
"Didn't make it in?"
"He hasn't called or said anything, but he's 30 minutes late to work now."
"Any idea?"
"We don't know. But if you have information you need to tell him when he gets here, we'll send it to him."
"No thanks. Have a good day!"
Elise hung up and sighed. Lei was always so difficult to get in touch with. However, Elise was worried. Lei was late for work. Did something happen?
Not wanting to stress herself out, Elise placed her phone on the side. She then lies down on the bed and goes to sleep.
"You'll be meeting Daddy soon..." Elise whispered to her child.

Sorin shakily ran up to Elise's front door. He started knocking on the door. He was wiping tears from his face, as he held his arms together, closely. His ears started ringing, and he winced. He shook his head, and knocked again.

Elise had been with Shun when she heard the knock on the door. Elise was hoping to see Lei turn up, but instead, she was greeted by Sorin.
"Hello, Sorin... It's good to see you." She immediately hugged Sorin.
However, she completely forgot that Sorin would notice her baby bump pressing up against his chest as she hugged him.

When Elise hugged him, all he could do was begin to sob. He held on to her tight. "...I-I'm sorry!" It felt like his heart was being squeezed. "I just... I miss him so much... a-and, I didn't know wh-who to come to!" He pulled back, looking at her in the eyes. There was a ringing in his ears, as he kept crying.
"....Did you know my mother was alive!? It's... It's not fair! It's... He should be here! S-She's a stranger! But, h-he was my dad! And he w-was strong, and b-brave and he took care of me, and who is going to take care of me now!?!"
He then fell to his knees, and began to sob again....

Shun watched as everything unfolded. Elise pats Sorin on the back, rubbing him. She could feel the sorrow and sadness he felt... Somehow. Elise chalked it up to mother's instinct.
"Losing a parent is hard... And... I think it's worse when they suddenly return from the dead."

Sorin softly gripped Elise's shoulders, "Don't you hear me!? THEY SENT THE WRONG ONE BACK!" He got up, and stumbled around, "She ran away! She was selfish, and she ran away! But, not my dad! My dad was there, and he helped me and he loved me! And this... This is just a slap in the face by god, or gods or whatever you wanna believe in!"
He fell into a chair, planting his face into his hands, "...I feel bad, Elise... I... I want to be happy that she's back, but... I just can't see past the cruel irony... and Of course Daniel doesn't get it.... He was a glorified science project locked in a cage all of his life...."
He looked up at her, "What do I do.."

Elise wasn't that good with emotions and wasn't sure exactly what to do. She was silent as she tried to gather up the words to speak.
"If your mother is as selfish as she says she is, I highly doubt that." Shun finally said. "If she's making an honest effort to contact you, even after being 'dead' I'm sure she still cares about you."
Elise was surprised to hear Shun talking about this. He had a point. Shun knows about selfish parents.
"You know, it's fine to be angry. It's fine to be upset... I feel like you were still going through the stages of grief. And your mother suddenly coming back... Messed it up..."
"You know... I think I get it... If my mom didn't in fact die of drug overdose... And wanted me back, I would only accept her if she had been sober for at least five years.. and right now... All you can do is depend on yourself."
"I think you should stay away from your mother while you process what had just happened..." Elise suggested.

"..." Sorin contemplated this. He wanted his mother in his life for so long. His wishes were finally granted, but... He still felt it was unfair. He took a deep breath, knowing what he needed to do. "You're right. I'll just stay behind. I'll let Daniel take the lead with that one, while I deal with all of this madness in my own way..." He wiped his tears, and smiled. "Thanks guys... Plus, this will give me the chance to do what I came here to do. Help you rid the devil gene once and for all..."
He walked to Elise. "When shall we get started..?" He asked.

Elise sighed a little. "Maybe later... I'm tired... And my head hurts a little. I think Kazuya caught wind of the project. He literally just tried to kill me and my husband..."
She then placed a hand on Sorin's shoulder. "Listen, if anything happens to me... Keep going. Even if I die in the process, you must continue our work."

Sorin smiled, "You're gonna die... Atleast not anytime soon!" He placed his hand over hers. "But Whatever we are working on when you die, I promise to keep doing it until it's done!" He winked at her. Elise had such a calming energy about her. "I'm gonna go back to my hotel. Thanks for letting me get ugly..." He held her hand tightly, "If you need anything, just call me... okay? Feel better..." He let her hand go, and as he was on his way out, he received a call from Claudio.
"...Claudio, hey I'm just leaving Elise's..." He waved bye at them, and shut the door behind him. "Yeah, No... Stuff got really intense with... Well my mother is alive, and it's kindof a lot to swallow. What do you mean you were there...? What do you mean she has the demon's powers!?" Sorin walked downstairs as his lover explained everything. "Well, I will be at the hotel very soon..." He smiled, with a flirty flash in his eyes, "Yeah... Wear that black strappy thing..!"
He hung up, and got to his car. He raised a brow when he noticed an auburn haired woman standing at his car. She looked eerily similar to his mother... "Who the fu-"
She raised a hand, "I am your great aunt Diana..!" Sorin cocked his hip, "Great another relative... You know when I was teenager, I dreamed of a big family so I could shop with someone who wasn't a old man. I have Elysium now, so you can go back to Ireland because you're all psychopaths!" Diana raised a brow, this would be easier than she thought... "I'm here to strike a deal, James..." She smiled. "...If it's you getting off of my very expensive car and letting me go home, then yes, we have a deal." He said, bitterly.
Diana clasped her hands together. "Go back to Rome, James." She said, quietly. "...Why do you keep calling me that!? Better yet, how do you even know that that is my name!? How did you even get in here?!" He asked. "Elysium is in the car... We had to come tell her step mother that poor Christopher died...."
"Are you sure about that, because they do come back... I actually watched my mother turn to dust and she's standing in her estate right now, fully alive.." Sorin said, coldly. Diana walked toward him, "I know..." She placed her hands on his shoulders, "Because I killed him... Sorin's eyes darted to her cold, blue eyes. "Now listen... You are going to go back to Rome, you will not get in my way. My grievance isn't with you, Celina, or Giorgio... So take your brother and go home!"
"Or.." He pushed her hands off of him, "I could just stand by, wait for Nina to shoot you in the face, and then do whatever I want! Trust me, red... Whatever it is you're doing... I have no reasons to get involved...!" He went to open his car door, and gt inside. "...Good luck trying to kill them lady... Not even demons or devils can do it..." Sorin then sped off. Diana grinned. She walked back to the car where Elysium was waiting. "Let's go." Elysium and Diana got into the limo. "Time to go visit Marcella..." She smiled.

Elise held Sorin tightly before letting him go. Surely, Kazuya won't kill her and she will have this baby. Once she lets go of Sorin, she simply smiled warmly. "You're welcome... Take care..."
Once Sorin left, Elise sighed and plopped back down on the couch as Shun immediately embraces her.
"Mom! Are you going to die?"
"That's a possibility, unfortunately..." Elise admitted. "But I'm going to do the best I can to stay alive..." She strokes Shun's hair. "It will be okay, Shun. I'm not going to leave you or this child inside of me."
"Maybe you should be careful." Shun lets go of Elise.
"My boss wants your father to be my bodyguard..."
"I'm sure he will protect us."
"He will."

Lei arrived at Elise's apartment several hours later to find her and their son eating dinner. Before Lei could do anything, Elise and Shun both ran up and held him in a tight embrace. Lei couldn't help but smile and laugh a little. He still wasn't sure if it was a good idea to escape from the prison and become a wanted criminal in the process. However, this seemed to change his mind. Lei honestly forgot what it was like to have someone waiting for him to come home at the end up the day. It's a nice feeling. Something that he never got to experience much of.
After the two let go, Lei immediately dropped on the couch. Elise rushed to his side and instructed Shun to get food.
"Are you okay?"
"Wanrei is after me, I'm now a wanted criminal, Kazuya wants me dead..."
"Get in line." Elise said. "Kazuya wants to kill me, too. They beefed up security since the last attack. I think we're safe here."
"I can protect you."
"Wulong, you need to rest."
Shun arrived with the bowl of noodles. Lei immediately sat up and didn't hesitate to eat the noodles. "I don't think I can rest."
"Well, you have to! You look like you haven't slept..."
"When I was in jail, I had to keep my eyes open, because I was often targeted and attacked. Of course, I kicked their asses..."
"But you're not in jail anymore... you're somewhere safe..."
"Nothing is safe!" Lei shouted.
"But the Tekken Force will keep us safe."
"Nobody can do it better than I can. Honestly, I wouldn't put my faith in a bunch of soldiers who literally doesn't know how to deal with a random contestant from the King of Iron Fist. I'm the only person you should put your faith in. You're pregnant now. You need to start taking extra care of yourself and be extra careful!"
"I'm being as careful as I can." Elise crosses her arms.
"Dad, just... chill." Shun finally said.
"This is unfortunately the world that we live in. I can't rest and relax..."
"But how will you protect us if you don't even rest?"
"I've coped with a lack of sleep over the years... I know what I'm doing, Elise, Shun... Trust in me. Don't trust the soldiers."

Zakk arrived at the apartment with Giorgio and was not surprised to find Lei there, who quickly got into his stance. But lowered it when he saw Zakk wasn't going to capture him.
Lei took the baby, and gently rocked the child before putting him back in the stroller.
"Where's Mum?"
"She's sleeping. She had a long day... We all did."
Zakk nods. "Take care of him. Okay?"
"I'll protect this family with my life... I'll protect them all... I can protect everyone..."
Zakk stepped away slowly before closing the door. He feared that Lei is slowly going insane. Perhaps Lei wasn't the best person to send Giorgio to.
