"Delphi!" screamed Feifei, running down the alley by the side of HQ.
Delphi leapt off Miro's back and ran towards her best friend. "Feif!" she cried, her eyes blurring with tears.
She hadn't spent a night away from this woman in ten years, and now they'd been separated for so long, and while Feifei was pregnant no less!
The two women embraced one another, hugging and crying tears of delight.
"Should you be running, girl?" Delphi asked her, cradling Feifei's growing tummy in her hands in wonder.
"No, she shouldn't," called Han and Kai at the same time from further up the alley.
Feifei rolled her eyes at the pair.
"She doesn't do as she's told, Delphi," Tingting dobbed on Feifei. "It's good that you're back now. You can pull rank on the Lieutenant."
Feifei put a finger on Tingting's lips to silence her.
