- Time skip - Early next morning.
Aruka: Lucias, I was wondering if you could... well... remodel the house... for the twins. (I said, as we ate breakfast, and he nodded.) Just something to throw out there, since they are bound to be born soon, and I don't want to raise them in a small house, you know. (We finished, and I washed the dishes, then put them away.)

Lucias: I understand, Aruka, and I will get right on that. (He hugged me from behind, and I smiled.) But, first, I'm gonna need some volunteers to help me with the reconstruction. (I sighed, holding onto his arm.) Think you could find me volunteers? Just two would be nice. (I nodded.)

Aruka: Yeah, no problem. I just need to see who's available for building the additions. (He let go, and grabbed all his tools and materials.) You should get started on it, just in case.
(I stood up, and began waddling to the door.) I'll get to asking around the village. (I left, and asked around the village.) Excuse me? Is anyone available for building a new addition to my house...?
(I had some people volunteer, and they went to the house, as I wandered to the docks to see STAIRS... ACTUAL STAIRS leading from there to Aphmau's house.) 'OH, THANK IRENE FOR STAIRS!!!'
(I was internally, singing to the heavens, when I saw a boat dock the shore.) 'Huh? What's that...?' (I walked down to him, and he smiled at me.) What's the meaning of this, sir...? (I looked at the ship, and he chuckled.) Hm?

Sailor: This here is the drop off for the young cat lass. (I tilted my head.) Is it alright if she got off here, my lady...? (I jolted, and he noticed my stomach.) You're expecting... future Lord, here's hoping...! (He cheered, and I froze, shaking my head, nervously.)

Aruka: Oh! You think I'm the Lord of the village?! (He looked confused.) Oh, no! I'm just a guard on maternity leave! (I smiled.) I could go get her, if you want. It's no problem.

Sailor: Oh, sorry about that, lass. (He smiled.) You just look like a serious and confident figure that could take control of a stressful situation. (I was shocked.) My mistake....

Aruka: Oh, it's no big deal. I kind of expected that from others. (I sighed.) I could be pretty intimidating. (We laughed, and I waved.) Well, I'll go get the Lord. She might know about this meif'wa passenger. (He nodded, and I walked off to find Aphmau.)
'I guess she's helping a good friend get back on her feet. That sounds a lot like Aphmau.' (I went toward the remodel houses, and bumped into Aphmau halfway.) Lady Aphmau, where are you headed, right now? (She looked confused, but smiled.)

Aphmau: I wanted to see how the stairs looked by the docks. (She tilted her head.) Why..?

Aruka: That's perfect! (I smiled.) Just continue doing what you're doing. (She giggled, and we walked toward the docks.) 'Aphmau has a meif'wa friend....' (I thought it over, and sighed.) 'This will be an interesting encounter..., I bet....'
(I started getting this intense feeling, as we approached the docks, and Aphmau saw the boat.) 'What the hell?' (I froze, looking down, as the strong pulse of the feeling nagged at me.) 'What does it mean...?'

Aphmau: Hey! Aruka, look! (She ran to the boat, yelling.) New people! (I could've laughed, when she got there, and I quickly tried to waddle to catch up with her.) Oh, sorry, Aruka...

Aruka: ...It's fine... (I sighed at her excitement, and I finally made it. Without a second thought, after talking with the sailor, she bolted up the ladder of the boat, and went below deck.)
I'm sorry about my lady. She can be very excited for new villagers, and I believe she knows that young meif'wa. (He nodded, and I winced feeling the pulse of that feeling, again.) Agh...! (He seemed worried about me, but I shook it off, smiling.) I'm fine...

Aphmau: Come on, Kawaii-Chan! (She jumped off the boat, carelessly, and I face-palmed, moving Thorgi out of the way.) I'll show you to the house you'll be staying in. (She looked at me, and smiled.)
Oh! Aruka! I'll introduce you two, when we get there. (So, we went to the remodeled houses, and Aphmau showed Kawaii-Chan her new house.) Now, to introduce you guys. (She smiled at us.)
Aruka, this is Kawaii-Chan; Kawaii-Chan this is my new guard, Aruka. She's a magicks user, but she can only do so much, while she's carrying. (Kawaii-Chan seemed very happy to hear that, and was ecstatic, smiling at me.) I'll leave you two be, then. Come on, Thorgi. (Thorgi stood up, and followed Aphmau out.)

Kawaii-Chan: Oh my Irene! (I winced at how high her voice was.) Kawaii-Chan is so happy for you, Aruka-chan!! (She squealed.) So, what are you having? A boy or girl?

Aruka: I... actually don't know, yet.... (I scoffed.) Huh.... I should really look into that...

Kawaii-Chan: Kawaii-Chan can sense amazing power coming from you... (She smiled, innocently, as she came closer to me.) May Kawaii-Chan feel...? (I nodded, and she placed her hand on my stomach.) It's a warm feeling.... I feel two life forces...!
(She smiled.) But, their both different.... the first one feels light and kind... the other one feels distant and caring.... (I could feel it, too... the opposite energy between them was astonishing.) But, they are both strong and courageous siblings, nonetheless... They are going to love you....

Aruka: Thank you, Kawaii-Chan.... (I teared up, smiling.) That means so much to me....!

Kawaii-Chan: Of course! Kawaii-Chan will do anything to help a friend! (She giggled.)

Aruka: Well, I hope you get settled in here, and good luck to you, Kawaii-Chan... (I froze, that feeling struck me hard, that time, and I witnessed a vision of Kawaii-Chan. It showed flashes of her meeting a guy with blue hair, her in a really pink dress with Aphmau, her with a family... and it goes on...)
'What is this...?' (I didn't know why this happened, but I got a feeling like there was something that happened between the last two events.... She looked older when she had a family, but when it showed her in the formal dress with Aphmau she looked as she does, now... young and pretty....)
'Kawaii-chan is important to Aphmau, that much is certain...' (As the vision ended I fell, unconscious, and the last thing I heard was Kawaii-Chan shouting my name, before I fully blacked out.....)
