I'm waiting for mom to come find me. I had no other choice but to warn headquarters about the fact that I was pregnant. I'm actually glad it was Isabella that answered me when I did.

Today isn't a good day. The children know that today is a day I'd love to avoid. Well, not that they know exactly that, but they notice I'm not feeling well on November 3. I'm grateful for them helping out more with the house's chores on that day. I always feel like staying in bed on that day and to never get out.

James, Deidre and Axel had come to find me this morning for breakfast. The day went by like any other day, but it's way longer. I hate that day.

I'm currently waiting in my office, writing a letter to Minerva to warn him about my pregnancy. I hear the doorknob and raise my head to see James enter the room.

« Are you writing to your friend, Mama? »

I let out a chuckle as James made his way to my desk and to my side. I take him in my arms to make him sit on my lap.

« Yes, I am. »

« Can I write to your friend too? »

« Of course. He'll be more than happy to receive your letter. »

I give James a pen and a paper and he starts writing with so much enthusiasm that it makes me smile.

We're all packed and ready to leave to go see what's left of Lambda. We're currently telling everyone goodbye.

Nat, Oliver, Yuugo, Zack, Paula, Violet and I are all ready to leave.

« Well, we'll be going now. Hm? »

Carol grabbed the sleeve of my coat. I crouch to be at the same level as her.

« I'm sorry, big brother. I shouldn't have reacted that way. »

I smile softly and put my hand on her head to ruffle her hair.

« Hey, it's okay, Carol. No need to apologize, alright? I understand your reaction and I'm the one who should've been more nice with my reaction. Plus, it's been almost a year. »

We look at each other before I take her in my arms. Carol hugs me back.

« Come back soon, big brother. And stay safe. We don't want you to come back injured again. Okay? »

I let out a chuckle before ruffling once again Carol's hair as I get up.

« I promise to be careful. »

« You better be careful! »

I look at everyone. I give them the most reassuring smile I can.

« We'll be back before you guys notice our absence. »

After some more goodbyes, we finally leave the bunker.

I just sat down at my desk. The mother of Plant 1 sent me two letters this time. Weird. I start with the letter of my friend. I call her my friend since she calls me that in her letters. It warms my heart to know someone here considers me their friend. It's the only comfort that I have in this place.
