Chapter Four Jessi and Vincent's Suspicions

The next few months passed quickly and Jessi noted that Hojo had stopped being so secretive. He still kept things from her, but not as much as before. She was able to see some of the work he and Gast had done and Hojo had even shown her his future plans.

"What's with the sudden change of heart Professor?" She asked him one day.

"I am having much success with my work and it is making me very happy."

He had said nothing more and even though he wasn't as shady as before, she still did not trust him. When she had asked about the specimen, Jenova they had called it, Hojo blocked her out.

"Jenova was a fine discovery and there is nothing for you to worry about."

But there were things to worry about. Sean had been exposed to it and there had been times he would see things that weren't there and he got agitated quickly. Sure the Jenova virus made him much more powerful, but it also changed him quite a bit. Jessi pointed this out to Hojo, but he still ignored her. She was also worried about Lucrecia as well.

They had found out she was pregnant and she was due to have her baby a month after Jessica's birthday. She noticed that Lucrecia was often weak and had to stay in bed quite often. Lucrecia was not a frail woman; she was built perfectly, neither too fat nor too thin to bear children. This was not normal and Jessi knew it; even Vincent knew something was up. When he had come back for a visit and found out about Lucrecia, he blew up. He told Lucrecia he had tried to warn her but she wouldn't listen. He then left and they didn't hear from him for a long time. But one night, Vincent had called Jessi.

"How is she?"

Jessi sighed and shook her head.

"She is always tired and looks awful. She's pale and is so weak, she couldn't even feed herself. They moved her to the hospital room in the lab to 'keep close observation on her' so Hojo said."

"Why would they want to observe her?"

"That's what I said, Gast said it was to take care of her but Hojo made it seem like she was his new experiment."

"How far along is she anyway?"

"About six, maybe seven months now. Vincent, I think they injected her with the DNA of a specimen that was found in a fossilized rock. I truly believe that is why she is so sick."

Vincent cursed. "I wouldn't doubt it, keep me informed about her though allright? I have to go, goodbye for now."
