The light was blinding. "She's awake." The voices swam in her head. Aside from that one she didn't understand the rest. "Julia...." Brown hair the same color as her own waved into view, along with cobalt blue eyes and a cocky grin. No matter how old this man got he still had the same childish smile he'd always have. "Daddy?" "I'm sorry, Jules, it's Nicolae." Julia blinked, carefully raised her hand to rub her eyes, and blinked again. As the face came into view again she realized it was Nicolae. Medium brown hair, brown eyes, gentle smile.... She was in a hospital room, and everyone was there beside her. Everyone but her dad. "Did we win?" "Thanks to Alex." Nicolae leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Where's my dad?" Nicolae's eyes welled with tears. He held her hands gently and his bottom lip trembled. "Your father was shot, Julia. This time it did him in." Julia looked over to Milliardo. Where was Heero? "Jules, my daughter told me to give this to you. Before your dad died he had given it to her. "Where is Alex?" "In the neighboring room. She burnt herself badly somehow and needed to be treated." Relena smiled softly and handed Julia a cross on a chain of rosary beads. Tears suddenly freed themselves from Julia's eyes and a sob caught in her throat. "I lost him again. Why?" "Because even the God of Death needs to die sometime." Heero wheeled Alex to Julia's bed. The other girl smiled sadly and took one of her hands from Nicolae, holding it gently. "It's good to have you in the land of the living, Jules. I guess Shinigami didn't want your life to join his yet." Alex said softly. "Speaking of life." A voice said from the front of the room. A way parted for Julia to look over at Sally Po. She nodded an apologetic nod and Julia nodded back. She remembered what Alanis had said, that she'd used the woman in her scheme against Duo, and forgiveness was easier than expected. "I have some news about Julia here." "What is it?" Quatre asked a little too enthusiastically. Sally smiled brightly and Wufei walked up beside her, along with Po. "Have you told them yet?" "Just about to." "Told us what? What about me?!" "Well, Jules, we got some blood tests back and it seems you're two months pregnant." Their was a mass hysterical "WHAT?!" and a few dead thuds all around the room. Sally stood there a minute in shock at the mass fainting, blinked, then smiled happily.
