Rafael sat in the waiting room of the hospital waiting for Julieta to come out.
Julieta walked out of the doctor's office smiling and nodding at him.
Rafael hugged her happily because of her pregnancy.
ONE MONTH AND A HALF LATER, Adriana knocked on the front door of Rafael's house.
Rafael opened the door and saw Adriana.
"Hi. Come in." said Rafael.
Adriana hugged him and went inside the house and said—
—"I just got back from the doctor's office."
"What happened?"
"It worked. I'm pregnant." said Adriana with tears of joy in her eyes.
"That's great."
"I'm gonna get to keep my house. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"I should go." said Adriana starting to leave.
"Wait, before you go, I think that you, me and Julieta should have a meeting. There's something I need to talk to both of you about."
"Ok, sure. When?"
"We'll come by your house tomorrow."
"Ok, see you then." said Adriana and walked out of the house.
"Bye." said Rafael closing the door.
THE NEXT DAY, Rafael and Julieta went inside Adriana's house.
Julieta and Adriana both sat in chairs at the dining table and Rafael stood in front of them saying—
—"I've been doing some thinking and I think we need to start planning for our future. Now, we three are the only people who know that the Government will blow up the world by the time our kids turn 18. And the first thing they are gonna blow up is this city. So I think we need to start building a boat to go find that island and we're gonna need to use your house to build it in."
"All right." said Adriana agreeing.
"Do you know how to build a boat?" asked Julieta.
"No. But we'll figure it out." said Rafael.
AS THE WEEKS WENT BY, Rafael, Adriana and Julieta would discreetly purchase material to build a boat and take it to Adriana's house.
Then they would start building it.
4 MONTHS LATER, Rafael and Julieta were working together at a construction site when they saw a large group of policemen walking toward the construction site.
The Policemen stopped everyone from working and started moving all the workers to the main square of the city.
The Police had brought out all the people out of their work places for a spectacle.
