Random Fact Time!

Erika Fong (Mia) is Chinese and Korean. I personally think she is a very beautiful woman :)

Hehe, maybe I should do this every chapter…Here's the new chapter! It's short. -Sigh- Hope you enjoy!

"Emily, calm down!" Lauren told Emily. She came in the house just to get a towel for her wet hair but Emily's loud crying drew her into the dojo instead of her bathroom. Lauren watched the poor girl search the room helplessly for the Healing Symbol Power book. "Emy, please listen to me. You cannot do the symbol right now. It's too dangerous. You're probably still jet-lagged."

"I don't care!" Emily fell to her knees and turned her head to Lauren. "I want to save my sister!"

"I know." Lauren hugged Emily. "I want to save her too but we have to wait. What got you into this crying fit anyways? Did Mia say something? She's been in a cranky mood lately. We think it's the wheelchair."

"No, I left the room before she woke up. Why is she in a wheelchair?"

"Well, there is no point in lying to you." Lauren sighed. "Mia's condition has gotten much worse in the week you were gone. She can't stand, all of her muscles are tired, she barely sleeps at night which is why she was sleeping now, and it's been chaos. She's crankier than my mother when she was pregnant with Jayden."

"I missed a lot in just a week. Vacation time is over, huh?" Emily wiped her tears.

"Yeah, welcome home. I should've warned you about Mia ahead of time."

"Em?" Mike knocked on the door. "Are you alright? Mia wants to speak to us."

Emily looked at Lauren. She nodded her head. "Go speak to Mia."

Emily dragged her feet to Mia's room with Mike following her. When she got there Mia was sitting up in bed giving her a smile while she rubbed her tired eyes. The pink and blue teddy bear was on her lap and beaded necklace was around her neck but the wheelchair was nowhere in sight. Mia noticed her looking around the room for the chair. She gestured to the closet. "Since it scares you, I got Mike to put it in there so you don't have to see it." Her voice was soft and delicate.

"I'll have to see it again soon…" Emily lowered her head.

"But not right now." Mia told her. "You're not used to seeing it, I'm not used to being in it, and it's just a depressing seat overall." She shrugged and patted on her bed where Emily could sit and patted on the spot next to it where Mike could sit. The couple sat next to Mia and she gave them another smile. "How was the honeymoon?"

"It was great?" Mike said, unsure why Mia would ask that question out of the blue. Since she made them sit so close to her, he was almost certain she was going to give them a serious talk.

"Yeah…there is lots of sun, beaches, and mangoes." Emily added on to what her husband said.

"I love mangoes. They're my favorite fruit." She hugged the pink and blue teddy bear close to her chest. "This is so cute… Ow!" Mia rubbed her stomach gently after her daughter kicked her. "I think she likes it already."

"She tough just like her mommy already too." Emily giggled.

"I don't feel very tough right now."

"Hang in there Mia." Mike encouraged her.

"I don't want to hear that anymore." Mia shook her head. "I'm terrified. I'm so sick and tired. You can't imagine. I don't know how much longer my body is going to keep this baby… I don't know if I will live or die. If I… If I pass, I don't want Kevin to raise this child alone. He loves his job and he has friends outside of the Samurai Family and babies need a lot of attention and…" Mia sighed. She looked at Emily and Mike directly in the eyes. "Do you guys want to be the godparents? And/or be the ones to take her in if something happens to Kevin and I? I mean… it's a choice. You don't have to. I can ask someone else like Lauren or…"

"Mia, we would love to be the godparents." Emily answered for both her and Mike.

"Really?"

"Of course, we would go to the ends of the world for our first and favorite niece." Mike nodded. She still has a several weeks left to go before she can see the world but Mike as well as the other samurais and Kevin and Mia's families already grew a great love for the unborn samurai. They don't want to see anything bad happen to her.

"You guys are the best!" Mia opened her arms. "Come on, bring it in. Hug me!" Emily and Mike hugged the pink samurai lovingly but she pushed them away. She sniffed Emily and covered her nose. "Why do you smell like liquor?"

"I, um, uh, coming Antonio!" Emily ran out the room.

"He's not even…" Mia turned to Mike. "Mike, why does my little sister smell like alcohol?"

"She, um…" Mike scratched the back of his head and ran out the room like Emily. "Yes Kevin!"

"What am I going to do with those two?" Mia shook her head at the two. She tucked her daughter's teddy bear next to her in bed and closed her eyes. She wasn't planning on telling Mike and Emily she chose them as the godparents now or without Kevin (he would understand) but it seemed like the right time to say something. Hopefully, she could sleep in peace this time without interruptions.

Later in the day, everyone including Mia gathered out on the patio and grill, enjoying "Memily's Welcome Home Party". They ate, talked, laughed, sang, danced, and goofed off like they always do when they get together to celebrate something or just hang out. Mia enjoyed herself as much as she could. Her pregnancy pains were on and off. Right now they were off and she was going to take as much advantage as she could.

Emily laid her head on Mike shoulder as they sat on a large swing next to the Shiba house's front doors.

"So Em?"

"Yeah?"

"We're married now, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Now what?"

Emily laughed and planted a passionate kiss on Mike's lips.
