11. A few days later, Micah starts faintly waking up in a hospital bed with the news channel on T.V. about Austin and Maria's novel. Micah starts looking around the room and sees himself in hospital clothing and bandages.
"What the...Wait? The cut on my shoulder brought me here, how? I was completely fine when I...What did I do again? Why can't I?" Micah tries to look at his shoulder, but the door opens right then and a young nurse walks in with shoulder length brown hair, brown caramel skin, and dark eyes, of course wearing a blue nurses uniform. She walks in happily saying "Hello Micah, my name is Estella, I've been taking care of you, you were completely out though, i'm so glad you're awake"
"Your voice...Sounds very familiar..." "Aw silly, you were probably half asleep. I came in here before, but you were knocked out after the medicine we gave you to heal your open wound" "But, like, before I got here, all I remember is going to sleep" "Your medicine is ready, time to take this shot" "But, how did I...?"
Estella gives Micah his shot, and he finally sits back, but as things get quiet, she starts saying suddenly "Your Uncle Gree had you come here, he said that two nights ago after you must have fallen asleep, you didn't wake up, and that you were bleeding heavily, so, he took you here, and your memory of it is a bit distorted I guess, because you've been here for two days" "What caused this?" "Well, someone stabbed you on your shoulder, on your shoulder with poison, but, we were able to get it out, it just took a lot to do so, and that's why you are feeling this way"
Micah sits up again thinking to himself "Austin and Maria allowed me to be poisoned? What the..."
"Okay, now let me patch it up, it's not going to hurt, might be sore though" "Ow..." "I'm sorry, don't worry though, you'll be going home tomorrow, just one more night here" She pats him saying "I know you can do it, now have a goodnight this time" She winks at him and leaves.
The next day, Micah is allowed to leave, and he walks over to the front desk seeing Gree standing there, looking a bit dishuffled, his graying hair is messy and unwashed, his beard not groomed, and his outfit too homely for the public, maybe.
Micah notices him, but instead tries to look around for Estella to say thank you, too late though, as Gree comes over to him and says "You, you ready?" In a stutter.
"Yeah, i'm ready, i'm feeling fine by the way too" "That's good" Micah and Gree walk out into the car, then as he fixes to drive, he starts saying "So....I have big news to tell you" "What is it?" Gree says broadly "Jun is pregnant"
Micah sits back in the seat as they are driving now, he begins to shout "How? Derek isn't....What? In prison? This is a problem, Gree" "No, it isn't, she'll be fine, and the baby will not suffer in that prison with her, trust me, it's been two years, and two years is enough now, so, we are going to see her today, as they allowed us to". They arrive at the prison, and Gree and Micah get out and walk into the building and walk to the receptionist with her saying "Can I help you two?" "We are here to see Jun Liendo, i'm her uncle and this is her brother, we heard that she is pregnant and we need to see her" "Oh, yes, but, you only have fifteen minutes" The receptionist goes on the speaker saying "Jun Liendo, you may go to the chat desk, you have company!" The receptionist puts the phone down saying "You may go in" "Thank you" Gree says back politely.
Micah and Gree walk to the desk seeing Jun walk up rubbing her belly, surrounded by other prisoners. "Sis! Oh my gosh? How did you get pregnant?" Gree pats Micah's hand saying "Micah!?" He sits back saying "We need to talk about this" "That makes both of us Gree replies. "And me...So, the baby? I found out about two weeks ago actually, didn't tell you guys until now though, because...I'm a little embarrassed" "Don't be, it's normal to get pregnant at twenty one, plus you'll be twenty two when the baby is born" "I really want to name it, if it's a girl, i'll name her Mikatu, it's mothers middle name, and I don't have one for a boy name yet, even though I kinda hope it's a boy, but girl names are more vast"
As Jun is talking, she starts looking more and more sad in the face, and she stops rubbing her belly. "I don't know how I got pregnant, it's sad i'm about to have this baby in prison" "No you're not" Micah says to her. "What? You gonna bail me out Micah, an $10,000 bail" "Jun, we will find away to get you out, one of us will, we will talk to Derek about this too, since he is most likely the father" "But? How would he be?" "He's the only boyfriend you had"
"Oh, and here is your necklace and ring honey, Micah found these for you" "Thanks, but how did my necklace and ring, I mean where did you find it?" "Um, in your room, yeah" "Duh I guess, It's been two years, I barely remember" "It's gonna change though, don't worry" "The security is telling us to leave I believe, we will see you again, Jun" "I hope so" "Bye, Jun!" She silently stares at Micah and Gree as they leave instead.
Arriving back home, Micah and Gree see Charlie, Leli, and Mary sitting on their porch. Leli immediately gets up and hugs Micah saying "Everything is okay now, right?" "Yeah man, you were in the hospital for three days" "I'm fine guys" Then Gree interrupts saying "And the other news?" "Oh yeah man, Jun is gonna be a mother, that's going to be strange to see" "She will do good though, don't worry Micah" Leli puts her usual bright smile on again, causing Micah to smile for once.
But, as they are all talking, Jonah and Lissa show, with Jonah saying "Hello Micah, we just came to say we're sorry, please, we understand what was happening was weird and inappropriate and...We won't do that again, I just wish that all is well with us now" As he is talking, Lissa is standing next to him looking pitiful in her face, Micah notices and says "The both of you...Right?" "Yes" He looks at Lissa as she slowly looks at him, with him saying "We're cool I guess, no worries" "Thanks" They all go inside, but later as they leave, Gree starts saying "We need to tell Derek about the baby, I say about tomorrow evening we will go see him, that sound good?" "Yeah, sure, I just hope he appreciates it, you know how Derek is" "Yeah, the meaning of an douche bag" "We will see how it goes, and hopefully, it'll go good"
