Julia still didn't know why they were going to see her parents. Sure, she hadn't seen them in a couple of days but that was nothing to worry about, right? After all, Michelle has Andrew, right? So nothing extreme can happen. And if something bad did happen, Jin wouldn't be happy…..he'd be worried, wouldn't he?
He's an angel; why should he be worried?
"Jin?"
"Yes, Julia?"
She still clasped onto his hand. "Why is it so important to see my parents?"
"It's a surprise."
"Good or bad?" Julia asked nervously swallowing a lump in her throat.
"Whatever you make it to be. We're almost there." Jin let go of Julia's hand and started running, forcing Julia to chase after him. He ran to the house that lay just ahead of them. He pulled open the door. "Ladies first." She walked in to see her mother sitting on the couch.
"Hey, Julia," Michelle smiled. "Glad you came. I've got news for you."
"Oh, Mom, this is--" she pointed next to her and turned to find Jin, nowhere to be seen. "W-where'd he go?"
"Where'd who go? Julia?"
"He-he was right here," Julia opened her mouth again as if to say something more but quickly closed it.
Suddenly she heard a voice in her ear, "I'm here but they don't need to know." She felt a hand on hers, which was positioned behind her back.
"Um, Mom? The good news you were talking about?" Julia asked changing the subject as quickly as she could.
"Oh, yes. Um, Julia?" at this Michelle swallowed down the nervousness she had felt only a few seconds before. "Julia, I'm going to have another baby."
Julia was speechless. Jin just put his arm around her, reassuring her that he was there.
