"I'll be careful, Aerith. I'll see you when I return." "Hurry back, daddy. We'll miss you while you're gone."
Hattori waited for her to join him on the shore.
"We best get going. The sooner we do this, the sooner we'll be back."
"I planned on it."
"Now that we're alone, why don't we enjoy the moment?" Hattori said as he sat on the shore.
"Of course. I have to do my part." Lucrecia passionately kissed Ryo.
Hattori swam up to her and kissed her.
"I know you're kidding, Ryo, but I'm not." Lucrecia said, giving him a stern look.
Nanako finished her lessons and left. Hattori jumped in the water. "Hey, beautiful."
"You better be back in time for the birth, Ryo, or you'll be in deep trouble."
"Hi, mom." Nanako said to her as she continued training with Hattori.
"I will. You be careful too, sis."
Hattori continued training Nanako, amazed at how fast she was progressing in her lessons.
"It's probably better this way. I'd only hold everyone else up in battle."
"No I don't, dear. Why don't you enlighten me?"
"We'll find out soon enough."
"I can't wait either. I hope it's a girl." Lucrecia just rubbed her stomach and smiled.
Lucrecia groaned. "How come you sound angry, mommy?" "I'm not mad, dear, it's just that giving birth is really painful. You'll understand what I mean when you have children of your own."
The doctor finished the exam. "It looks like you're pregnant again, milady."
Lucrecia sat down and rubbed her stomach. The doctor came back with Ryo and started his exam.
