The wedding ceremony is continued with an early-dinner party. With only twelve guests in total, we book one of small ballroom in a seven-star hotel. The food is amazing, the band is great, and the guests are enjoying the party.
A smile is never taken off from Jennifer's face while she is eating and having conversation with her friends. But I know her better. I know the incident in the church that happened less than a second in normal time can not leave her mind.
"Don't think about it," I whisper to her while rubbing her back in circling way.
Jennifer just turns to me and kisses me quickly. "I'm okay," she says, whispering back onto my ear.
However, when door of the ballroom is opened, Jennifer reflexively squeezes my lower arm really hard. I instantly calm her down by petting her hand that squeezes me. Before putting my gaze onto the door, I already knew it is Master Long who entered the ballroom.
I excuse my self to leave the table. With a worried stare from Jennifer I walk toward Master Long to meet him halfway.
"How was it, Master ?" I ask him in lower tone. Once the ceremony was over, Master Long was staying in the church and traced back the time traces of Lily and Bruno. The theory is, everything leaves energy in whenever time space it encounters. Thus, with a special ability, one could trace back the energy's one left in the space at specific time space.
"I could trace back the woman's energy from outside of the church until she entered it and attacked. But, I could feel nothing of the man's energy before he appeared nor once they disappeared," Master Long says in the same low tone, "I think he could teleport," he adds.
I stops my step and turns my head to him. "Teleport ?" I ask in disbelief. Master Long nods. "Is it even possible ?" I ask again.
Master Long smiles. "Impossible in normal people's lives. As impossible as your speed, nor my time tracing capability," he says calmly.
I make small nods. It must be Bruno's capability after his brain cells was activated. Just like Lily's whose I suspect could poison someone with the touch of her left hand. That's why she had her glove on before.

Around 10:30 PM I carry Jennifer go in to our apartment for the first time as my wife. With Jennifer still in my arms, I close the door with my foot and carry her to our bedroom. Jennifer just lays her eyes on me the whole time.
"Thank you so much for today," she whispers then kisses me so gently when I finally put her down on our bed.
"Like wise, Wifey," I kiss her nose before going to bathroom to prepare the tub. When I go back to the bed room, Jennifer is already starting to take off her gown..
"Are you happy ?" I ask while helping her with her gown.
"Most of the time," she says, walking out from her gown that is already on the floor now.
I hold her hand and pull her into my embrace. "I'm sorry about the interruption. I'm sorry you had to watch it," I whisper into her hair in so much regret.
Still in my embrace, she shakes her head. "Don't be," She says before turns her head up to look me in the eyes. "You know what.. What worried me was not when she tried to hurt me. I didn't worry because I know for sure you would protect me."
"What bothered you then, Baby ?"
"When she tried to hurt you," she answers. I hold her closer when I feel she is shivering.
"Don't worry, Baby.. she won't hurt me. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't. But, honestly, I'm worry she might hurt you in the future"
"You don't know how crazy a woman can be when it is about defending her love. And I have 2 loves I have to defend for," She says in full of determination. Gosh, how could I not love her ?
But before I can kiss her, Jennifer suddenly shouts, "Auch.. auch!!"
"What.. what is it, Babe ?!" I ask automatically in worry. I quickly guide her back to our bed.
Instead of finding a pain expression in her face, I see her happy expression al though her eyes are wincing. "Babe ?" I ask in confusion.
"She.. She is moving.." Jennifer says in stammered then looks at me with excitement. "The baby.. she is moving!"
"What ?!"
Infected by her excitement, I spontaneously checking her belly. Suddenly, there is a bulge on it like something or someone has punched it from inside. I gasp to see it.
"You see it ?! You see it ?!"
I answer her question only with few nods. My attention is totally on her belly.
"Hi, Baby Girl.. Are you awake, Sweetie ? It's Daddy.." I whisper into Jennifer's belly while rubbing the place where the bulge once existed. The bulge appears again, but in different place.
Jennifer giggles and sobs at the same time. "Hi, Baby.. Mommy is here, too.." she says while rubbing her belly.
My heart almost explodes out of happiness. I kiss Jennifer long and deep to express it. We end our kiss with giggles.
"She is a real human," I whisper dumbly. Jennifer laughs to her my silly words. But I don't mind being laughed at by her. My mind is actually full in my imagination of having our girl in the future.
"We should name her, Babe," I suggest after I can come back from my reverie.
Jennifer nods. "Actually I prepared a name before.. Loraine.. but somehow it remains me a lot of that woman we met at the clinic," she says, referring to Laurel, my one night stand whom I faked on.
"How about Sophie.. after your mom," I suggest.
Jennifer looks at me with glimmer in her eyes. "I love that," she whispers with teary eyes. We then shift our gaze to her belly almost simultaneously. "Sophie.. you like that name, Baby ?" Jennifer ask to her belly.
For the fourth time, the tiny bulge appears as if approving the name. We laugh in pure happiness.
Our daughter has a name now. Sophie Bennet.
