"Jeremy?" Aelita called the next morning, "Hurry up; you don't want to be late for your first day on the job."

Jeremy groaned as he came downstairs from his room to the kitchen and saw Aelita and his kids eating.

"Aw, don't you look all fancy in your suit," Aelita joked.

"Hahaha," Jeremy rolled his eyes, "Never had to wear this crap at my old job."

Little Anthea giggled, "Haha, daddy has to wear a dress code."

"So do you," Jeremy teased his daughter who laughed.

"Come on," Aelita said, "Time for school."

"I'll take her," Jeremy said as he picked up his daughter in his arms, "Now, shouldn't you get dressed and such?"

She laughed and jumped out her dad's arms and ran to get ready for school.

Jeremy looked at Aelita and smiled at her, "And now that the child's gone," He went over to her for a kiss, but she pushed him away and laughed, "We have one child still in the room," And motioned to baby Franz.

jeremy laughed and shook his head at the baby, "Hey, kiddo. Scoot."

Franz responded with a little laugh and smile.

Aelita smiled at Jeremy and hugged him. "What happened to that shy kid at Kadic?"

Jeremy chuckled, "He left because he was boring."

Aelita kissed his cheek, and went to feed baby Franz.

"Are you going to work today?" Jeremy asked.

She shook her head, "I'm sure they could build that prototype without me."

Jeremy laughed, "Who would have thought that you'd be working with robots in the future, and I'd be in the government."

"Life is a crazy thing isn't it?"

"Daddy! I'm ready!" Anthea called, climbing down the stairs.

Jeremy picked her up in his arms, "Okay, time for school. Kiss mommy good-bye."

He walked over to Aelita and his daughter reached out and kissed her mom on the cheek.

"And say bye to your brother."

She waved bye to Franz. And the two of them left the house.

Older Anthea was leaving a 7/11 with another newspaper and coffee.

I have to find out where they live. I HAVE to see my daughter.

She was walking past and wasn't looking where she was going; she bumped into some one and spilt her coffee on both of them.

"Oh my," Anthea gasped, "I'm so very sorry."

"Yeah you should be," The lady said rudely, "You got your coffee on my shirt; maybe you should get some glasses old lady." With that she stormed away. ((It was an older Sissi))

"Oh," Anthea sighed.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

She looked to see a Japanese lady with short black hair, who had walked by and saw what happened.

"Oh, yes. Yes I'm fine," Anthea said quickly.

Yumi looked at the lady who Anthea had bumped into and shook her head, "That girl over there, Elizabeth, she's just a pain. Don't worry about her."

Anthea nodded, "Thank you. I must be going."

Yumi looked at Anthea closely, "Ma'am, have we met before?"

Anthea shook her head, "No. I can't say I've ever seen you before in my life."

Yumin looked unsure, "Are you sure? Cause I could have sworn, I've seen someone like you before. Maybe in a photo or something," She mumbled the last part.

Anthea shook her head again, "No. I'm sorry."

Yumi looked disapointed, "Oh well. You kinda reminded me of one of my friends from my old school," Yumi started to walk away.

Aelita?

"Wait!" Anthea yelled and ran to Yumi, "D-do you know this person?" She held up the newspaper and pointed to Aelita's face.

Yumi smiled and laughed, "That's who you remind me of! Must be the pink hair."

"Do you know her?" Anthea asked again.

Yumi nodded, "We were best friends when we went to school," Yumi stared at the Anthea, "Why? Do you know her?"

Anthea nodded, "Wh-where does she live?"

Yumi didn't look so sure, "Why do you want to know?"

"Please," Anthea begged, "I have to know where she is."

Yumi sighed, "How do you know her?"

"I-I'm her mother," Anthea pulled off her scarf from her head and showed her pinkish/just a hint of graying, hair.

"Okay Franz," Aelita picked up her son, "Time to clean you up." He had gotten food all over his face and shirt.

She gave him a bath and put him in a blue shirt and tan pants. She laughed when she looked at him, "Aw, you look like a little version of Jeremy, without glasses."

He burped then laughed. And Aelita did too, "And without mannors."

The doorbell rang and she picked up Franz, and went to go get the door.

"Hell-" She stopped when she saw who was at the door.

"Aelita? Is that really you?"

"M-mom?"
