Part II

Franziska knew Phoenix being the father of the baby was a bad thing. It gave Pearl false hope that Phoenix and Maya could get married. It was something that made Franziska weary about Mathew. She wished she wasn't foolish for being awkward about a baby but this was the first time she had ever encountered a newborn baby so close to her. Mathew Mauve Fey: her stepson, someone who she had to set a perfect example too.

Being a boy, Mathew could never inherit Kurain. The elders in a village wouldn't care about him. If Franziska hadn't had been there, Maya would have likely had struggled to bring Mathew up in this cruel tradition. The village had been run by a bunch of foolish fools, which lead to so much unnecessary drama on the past. Now to the future, it could be bright if everyone made the effort.

Though Maya and Franziska were the same age: Maya was still a child. Franziska never had a childhood. So for Franziska it was like taking care of two babies Maya's childish side became wild during her pregnancy. One month she ate nothing but burgers. One month she only ate noodles. So it was a hard job trying to provide Maya and the baby the nutrition they needed.

"Do you think I should start planning for another one?" Maya asked. "One of the elders this morning said I should get pregnant again as soon as possible."

"That elder is a fool!" barked Franziska. "Family planning takes lots of planning and care. It's far too soon to get pregnant again. You need rest and Mathew needs his mother."

"How long do you think I should try to concieve again?"

"At least six months," Franziska announced. "But only fools would try to get pregnant at that quickly."

"I'm thinking of visiting Phoenix Saturday, just to see if he is okay."

"If you insist," said Franziska. "I don't want him to be the father of the second child because he obviously can't produce a fine daughter."

"Franzy... Isn't that harsh?" Phoenix was the only man she could she herself having sex with- anyone else would be just weird. " We just need to keep trying till we have a girl."

"Phoenix won't be able to produce you a decent heir," announced Franziska.

"You're opinion doesn't always equal facts, Franzy." Maya frowned and stared at Mathew. "Though if we did have a girl what would you call her?" Maya didn't want the conversation to end in a bitter argument over who should be the next father. "I was thinking either Molly, Mia, Misty or Whitney."

"I quite like the name Erika," Franziska replied.

"Erika is a cool name," said Maya. "I've never even thought about it."

"Yes, it is."

"MAYA!"

Phoenix Wright walked straight into the room without knocking. Franziska was horrified by his scruffy uncombed hair.

"You could have at least combed your hair before coming to see your child," said Franziska. She looked down and saw His bare feet cut and bruised. "Phoenix Wright you look like a tramp!"

"I know I've seen better days but Ivheard about Maya giving birth I had to ran. All roads have been closed and there was a huge traffic jam."

"Hey Nick, here's our son, Mathew. He looks like you."

Franziska could never see herself warming to Phoenix, even if he was the father of her 'child'.

Still, she had to respect Phoenix for running through traffic and thunderstorms to see her son. She had to credit him for it, not many dads would go to that length just to see a child that he never planned on bringing up. It prooved Phoenix wanted to be more than just a sperm doner. Behind him was a little girl dressed in a magician suit. The girl had rosy red cheeks and brown bigtails sticking out of her hat.

"Nick who is this cute little girl?" asked Maya.

"This is my daughter, Trucy."

"You never told me you had any kids," Maya said.

"I adopted her last year," said Phoenix. " I swore I told you in that letter."

"I never got it," said Maya, "must have got lost in the post."

"Daddy," Trucy called. "Since this is my new brother, does this mean that Maya is my new mommy?"

"More of a step-mommy cause... Maya is dating Franziska."

"So Maya is dating this lady with the blue hair?"

"Yes," said Maya.

"Awesome!" cried out Trucy. " This means I have two mommies now!"

Franziska sighed, she never even knew this girl and already she was branded her mother. She wanted to object but it felt like she had just met her match with the Wright family.
