Whistle, whistle.
The sounds of a kettle that had finished boiling hot water were going off in the morning hours at HQ. Jean was preparing breakfast and hot tea for him, Mitsuko and Eve, and was preparing himself for a long conversation with his daughter who was pregnant with her first child. He wanted to give Mitsuko some fatherly advice and his support since he knows how hard a pregnancy can be, especially for first time parents.
In all his years as his bounty hunter he has come across many women who have told him how hard their first pregnancy was at the time, but it also brought so much joy. Jean wanted Mitsuko to know that she will always has his support, as she goes through this for the first time with Zero. But he also wanted to catch up with his daughter, as it has been a while since they both sat down to talk with each other.
The chief took the whistling kettle off of the stove and made tea and toast. He then brought it over to the table, and made sure Mitsuko was comfortable as well, before they began to talk. He sat across from his adopted daughter, and began the conversation with a smile and kind eyes.
There were faint lines on Jean’s face as he was slowly beginning to age and stress and fatigue were catching up, but his kind heart always remained the same.
“You know it’s a good thing I picked you up today Miki, we haven’t had a chance to talk in a long while. I still remember when I first met you… That was days after you and Zero reunited, and you healed that big wound he got. To be honest Miki, when he came home after reuniting with you he had the biggest smile on his face. It was the most genuine smile that I had seen from him in a long time. You changed him.”
“His whole attitude made a 180 degree turn when you two reunited, I really believe that you made his heart fly to the highest part of the sky. You uplifted him. Looking back at how much Zero has changed.. and understanding why he was so angry back then is because he missed you. Sometimes when individuals have been stripped of what they hold dear, they rebel.”

Mitsuko smiled at her adoptive dad and she too was aging, but no one can really tell, since she has changed to how she responds to stressful situations and the things that bothered her now and again. She was also eating properly, drinking a lot of water, and doing all the things possible for her child, that was growing inside of her tummy.
She wasn’t just looking out for herself, but she was also looking out for her boy. She wasn’t just eating for herself, she was making sure that her son had food too, all the decisions that she made from here on out will affect her son so she has to be smart and make the right choices. The best choices she could ever make as a mother, and that was putting her son first.
As she listened to Jean’s words she teared up. She was glad that Zero made it so far in his life, and she couldn’t be anymore prouder of him. Zero has overcome many hard obstacles in his life, and because of those obstacles he has become strong.
“Zero was calling out for help. Rebelling is also a way to say that he needed help, and to get someone to pay attention to him. I heard the story from Hunter, and I still wished to this day that Zero and I never got separated. He was almost back to full health, and then one night… something happened and he was gone from his bed the next morning… I… never saw him again after that until… a year ago.”
“ I know Zero doesn’t want me to be so hard on myself, but dad I have an attachment to him, and he was my first friend… He was my only friend for the longest time. I did miss him. There wasn’t a day that went by where I didn’t spend time thinking about him, and picturing him smiling at me, and I smiled back at him in my mind. I’m glad now that we have each other, are married, and having a child together.”[/font]

“Oh my dear… Zero loves you. I know that he means it when he tells you and shows you. While you wish you could have prevented his pain, you did something else that was wonderful. You healed him. Only you could do it though because of the bond you two share. You changed his life, for the better. He is a much better person because of you, and with his son on the way, he’s always working twice has hard to make sure Matthew is well supported and has that sense of security.”
“Zero will always be there for you and his child. Didn’t you guys have a talk a year ago about your greatest wish for him? Hahaha was it about him finding love and fathering a kid? But he told you that he couldn’t possibly think of something like that too soon? Hahaha and look what happened. I think his words were just a cover up for his real reasons. He was slowly falling in love with you,. And now his wish came true.”
“I remember the time where he carried you for the first time bridal style. Does he still do that in your own home?”[/font]

“Hahaha yes he does, though not since we found out that I am pregnant. We have to be extremely careful now with everything, and we don’t want to put Matthew in harms way, so he doesn’t take any chances to lift me up even though I know he wants to. And whenever I tell Zero that I feel like I am putting on weight and nothing fits me like they used to since I am expecting.. Zero tells me I am glowing and look wonderful in the maternity clothes. But this is a good weight gain because I am with child.”
“Okay so get this dad, I am standing in front of our bedroom closet deciding what to wear… And Zero whose keeping his eye on me the whole time to make sure I don’t do something strenuous by accident actually helps me pick out my own clothes. And then he kisses my cheek happily once we come to an agreement on what I should wear. Dad I swear when we are together we just laugh and make light of everything that goes on in our house. Even my pregnancy. The laughter helps relieve the stressful days..”
“And every time we look at each other…. And spend time together we love each other more and more with each passing day. I admit maternity clothes are comfortable.. Every women’ s body is different and I am putting on weight fairly quickly haha. I’m not even bother going to try and fit in my regular clothes.. Since I know I will be uncomfortable… I am a month pregnant and I feel it dad.”
“People at the inn that I work with are excited for my child as well, they even asked me if I would ever adopt a child one day from the orphanage but the truth is I don’t know… I don’t have the heart to just adopt one child and leave the rest….”[/font]

“Ah I knew this topic would come up… The other thing one must think about when adopting a child is the financial security, Zero and you will probably have to wait a few years before thinking about either making another baby or adopting.. or maybe even both. It’s a huge choice that you two will make when it feels right to the both of you.
Just enjoy having your first child and then everything will fall into place… Although that must be difficult for you to see some children get adopted and none not at all.” Jean then took a sip of his tea.[/font]

“All those children should be adopted and placed in loving homes.. I would adopt them all if I could… But I know that’s not possible. Veyyard is no place for children, the only place they have is the church… but dad I worry there must be something I can do…. I can’t just leave them….
Can you help me? Dad these children need a home… What do you do when you care for kids but you know helping them is out of reach?”

“Woah woah Miki, just take it one at a time. Focus on your son first… Don’t take on too much, take it slow and make sure you go through your pregnancy slowly okay? I’m here for you and Zero but I don’t want you to take on worries.. Use this joyous time to bond with your baby. I still can’t believe I am going to be a grandpa!"
Jean was happy to say the least to becoming a grandfather. Children are so precious and he was happy that there is going to be a little baby coming into his life soon. He looked into Mitsuko’s eyes and was smiling from ear to ear at the very thought.[/font]
