10 chapters already?! XD Well, it's 2013 and the second half of the school year…so we'll see how this updating thing goes but so far I'm on a roll :P

Emily stared at her white dress in the mirror. Today she, Mia, Lauren, and Serena are looking at wedding gowns for the big day. Mike and Emily still haven't chosen a date for the wedding but they knew it was soon. The closer the spring got, the more nervous Emily got. A day that will change her relationship. A day that will change her last name. A day where two families will merge together. She will be known as a missus. She's still young. She never thought about ever getting married because of the bullying she received. Everyone at school called her ugly and said she would never find love.

But they were all wrong, she's going to get married and hopefully have kids with the love of her life, Mike.

"You look beautiful Em." Serena complimented her sister. She's still single because of her sudden sickness. She was trying to get her life back on track after being cured. She missed out on high school and if she didn't get sick, she would be graduating college now. That didn't matter to her now, though. Her baby sister is getting married. She couldn't be more proud of the woman Emily has turned into.

"Eh, I don't like this dress." Emily gave herself another glance in the mirror before turning her gaze to Mia who was sitting down looking at a baby magazine. "What do you think Mia?"

"Um, yeah, cute dress Emily." Mia told her without taking her eyes off of the magazine.

"Mia!" Emily crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not looking for cute."

"I'm sorry, I'm so excited! I just found out I'm having a healthy baby girl."

"She's not a doll Mia." Lauren took the magazine from her. "Help Serena and I choose some bridesmaid dresses."

"Fine, just let me use the restroom first." Mia got up almost tripping over her own feet. Good thing Lauren is always fast to react or that wouldn't have been a nice fall.

"Oh my goodness, are you okay?" Serena asked the younger woman. She didn't know Mia that good but she knew how much her well-being meant to Emily.

"Yes, I'm okay." Mia told them. "I'm just a little shaken up, that's all."

Lauren hesitated but nodded when Mia left. She gave the Earth sisters a frightened look. She had to tell them. "Don't tell Mia what I'm about to tell you."

"Why has Mia been so wobbly lately?" Emily questioned Lauren with concern. "What's wrong with Mia?"

"It's complicated." Lauren sighed. This isn't going to be easy to explain. "Mia and Kevin's wind and water powers are both very strong. So far, it seems that the baby has more of Kevin's water genes and they are too powerful for Mia's body. After that little trip she just had, I'm starting to get very scared. What's going to happen to her when get's closer to her due date?"

"MIA'S DYING?" Emily screamed. She was about to say something else until Lauren's hand caught her mouth.

"Shh!" Lauren hushed her. "I never said she's dying."

"But you implied it." Serena pointed out.

"Just don't tell her. Do you want Mia to remain happy or not? If nothing really bad happens and we tell her, then we just worried her for nothing."

"Does Kevin know?"

"Yes, he does and he has all eyes on her."

Serena and Emily exchanged glances. Mia just took a trip but what if Lauren didn't come to her rescue? They both didn't like the idea of keeping such an important fact away from Mia but they both agreed to not say a thing to her.

"Look at these gorgeous dresses I passed by…" Mia showed them a blue dress. None of the girls were smiling. "What's wrong? Is it the bow in the back? I'm sure we could ask for something less big."

"I like it." Emily spoke up, breaking the silence. "Right girls?"

"Right…" Serena and Lauren said awkwardly.

Later that day, Mike was giving Emily a cup of tea in their room while Serena took a shower. It has been a long day of white and blue dress eye-shopping and she was exhausted. She wasn't used to the fast city life like her sister. A few years ago while Emily was saving citizens in the city, she was ill at their home on the family farm. Sometimes she considered her illness as not good thing but one of those things that just happened for a beneficial reason.

"How was your day?" Mike asked Emily. "I'm sure it was great."

"It was okay I guess." Emily said, not wanting to get into any details.

Mike looked at Emily sadly. She didn't seem too blissful like she usually is. "Did someone die?"

Emily almost choked on her tea when she heard Mike use the word die. "No, no one died. Nobody is dying or is going to die."

"Emily, chill, I was just playing. What has you so spooked anyways?"

"Mia's dying." Emily whispered.

"MIA's DYING?"

Emily couldn't help but giggle softly at Mike using the same reaction she did back at the bridal shop. Then, she got serious again. "Well, not really dying. The baby is too strong for her so it's harming her."

"Oh…" Mike didn't say anything. He was in shock. That was a lot to take in. Mia has been an excellent older sister to him and he couldn't ever imagine losing her so soon. He just hopes Emily is lying to get back at him for his pranks but he when he put his attention back on Emily, he saw tears in her eyes.

"Mia doesn't know it's the baby causing her trouble right now." Emily cried. "What if she doesn't survive Mike? I can't lose my sister especially after we just found each other again! What if I become pregnant like her? Our Earth and forest powers are just as powerful as Kevin and Mia's water and wind."

Mike gently rubbed Emily's back. "No what if's Emily. Mia will survive. Kevin and the rest of us will make sure that the first baby of the nineteenth samurai generation is born with Mia alive, rocking her in her arms."

"And I will get to be an auntie?"

"Yes, and you will get to be an auntie."
