"Finally! Freedom!" I shouted as I ran through the door into my house.
We had just gotten home from being stuck in a stuffy hospital room for two days. I couldn't leave my room because I had to stay with Sakura, so I would mostly walk in circles around the same familiar room.
"You still have a kid to take care of you know." Noriaki said while following me through the door holding Sakura.
"Yeah but at least you got to leave the room! I was stuck in there doing the same thing for two days, walking in circles, feeding the child, changing the child, and staring at the ceiling!" I stated out of pure jealousy, my husband was able to leave the room and explore since he wasn't the main source of everything Sakura needed.
"I know. Hey! I have a good idea! When we were in the hospital we couldn't use our stands in case someone could see them, so why don't we let them meet Sakura since she probably isn't able to see them?" he suggested.
"Great idea! Let's do it!" I said summoning the purple and grey stand. It felt like forever since I last saw Ghost Town. I looked over at Noriaki who had already summoned Hierophant.
We watched as the stands circled the small human in Noriaki's arms. But when we saw Sakura react slightly to the glowing purple and green lights around her we were surprised.
But Noriaki seemed distressed when he noticed.
I didn't know much about what happened before I met my brother, apparently it was "classified" information by the rights of something called the speedwagon foundation. So I never asked, and even if I did I wasn't allowed an answer.
"Noriaki? You seem off?" I said, concerned.
"I... I'm fine, just surprised. Could she be a stand user?" he asked, his voice shaking a bit. As if he was scared.
"Possibly, I'll call Avdol just in case." I said making my way to the phone on the kitchen counter.
After a few seconds of ringing a familiar voice picked up the phone.
"Hello?" asked the calm voice of our friend Avdol.
"Hi Avdol, we just got back and decided to let Hierophant and Ghost Town meet Sakura, she seems to be reacting to their colours but we aren't sure, what should we do?" I asked calmly.
"Interesting, wait a bit and see if anything suspicious happens. She could just be reacting to her new surroundings but if she shows any signs of having a stand, like glowing or increased IQ levels, call me and I'll schedule a flight to Morioh." He replied.
"Ok got it, thank you Avdol!" I said.
I made my way back to Noriaki, who was still intently staring at Sakura as if she was a ticking time bomb about to explode.
"He said to keep an eye out for any signs of her having a stand." I said, relaying the message to the wide eyed man in the hallway.
"Ok, got. Can you take her? I have to go work on something." he said, still sounding nervous.
"Sure, but you can always talk to me, you know that."
"Yes, I know."

I woke up in a cold sweat. I had a horrifying nightmare. But something was off.
Usually when I'm tossing and turning in my sleep Noriaki wakes up and calms me down, but he is nowhere to be seen. I looked over at the clock beside me.
2:35 a.m.
I threw my legs over the side of the bed and started walking around the house to find him.
Then I noticed the door to Sakura's room was ajar and the light was on.
I walked across the floor and pushed the door open to reveal Noriaki standing over her crib and a smashed lamp scattered the ground.
Noriaki had a strange look in his eyes, one of terror and fear mixed with curiosity.
"N-Noriaki?" I asked cautiously.
"What happened?"
He turned around and faced me.
"I-I heard glass shatter and it woke me up, so I came to check on her. She has a stand Cerise." he answered, his voice shaking with fear.
"Why are you so scared Noriaki?" I asked, I was filled with concern.
"I can't tell you. It's classified..." he said. I could see the sorrow fill his eyes in the form of tears.
"It's ok, I know that if it wasn't classified you would tell me. I can see it in your face, whenever you stare at yourself in the mirror, whenever you stare at your scars leftover from whatever happened, ...whenever you look at me." I replied, holding his face as I said so to make sure he knew I cared.
"I'm so sorry, I really wish I could." he said as a few tears escaped his eyes.
"I know, but that's a thing of the past now," I said, wiping the tears away with my thumb, "but right now we need to call Avdol so he can get here as soon as possible. So dry your eyes and stay here with your daughter, ok mon amour, she's probably more scared than you are and better at hiding it."
"ok"

I sat beside Cerise on the couch, as Avdol stared at Sakura, who blinked in reply.
Avdol then decided to get closer, he was trying to see if Sakura would summon her stand but he had been sitting there for about an hour with no result.
As he inched closer to her face she started to give off a dark green glow, soon a snake like creature surrounded itself around her small body, as if protecting her from the large figure in front of her.
"Interesting.... She seems to know when she's in danger but she can't exactly see me clearly yet, so she is mostly protecting herself from figures that don't seem familiar. I've decided to name the stand Royal Serpent because of its snake-like appearance." said Avdol, breaking the silence.
"And she isn't in danger?" I asked cautiously while trying not to reveal much information to Cerise.
"This isn't the same thing as what happened then, since she was born with a stand it will match her power level. Right now she is just a newborn so the stand has no specific powers or any danger level other than intimidation, so she should be fine," he replied, calming my worries.
"But I do have to say, you guys had an extremely determined kid. Since stands are a manifestation of your fighting spirit and she is just a newborn, it's extremely interesting. Anyways, I best be going now. Good luck!"
And with that Avdol left the house.
