The women and children continue to read while the men are still discussing the final details of tomorrow's operation with Paul and Aphrodite, when suddenly ...

Stefan: Dad, Nic is calling you. Can't you hear him?

Jace and Nicolae, who apparently hasn't even opened his mouth, look at Stefan in amazement.

Jace: What are you talking about, Tiger? Nic didn't speak.

Stefan: What?

Stefan turns around and looks at his little brother.

Stefan: Are you kidding me? You just called Dad.

Nicolae: No, Stef. I swear. I'm reading right now. I didn't even open my mouth.

Stefan: But I just heard ... Whoa! Hold on a second!

He stands up and walks towards Artemis, who's sitting very close to Nicolae.

Artemis: What are you doing, Stef?

Stefan: Shh! Don't talk! Everyone be quiet for a second! Just for a second

Everyone remains silent as Stefan kneels down in front of Artemis. He puts his hand on her stomach.

Stefan: JJ...? It was you, wasn't it? You just called me daddy, didn't you?

The sweet cartoon voice that only Stefan heard a while ago sounds again, this time much louder and clearer because it's so quiet in the room.

JJ: Yes, Daddy. It was me. I just called you and you finally heard me!

Stefan: What do you mean? Have you been trying to talk to me again?

JJ: I've been trying for days, Dad, but apparently your angel nature was asleep and you couldn't hear me.

Stefan: My what? My angel nature? What are you talking about, JJ? I'm not an angel.
