In Ron's House.
Dream woke up.
She stretched lightly, then freshened up before walking into the living room, cradling baby Ines in her arms.
Ron stood by the doorway, eyes fixed on the television.
Ines made a soft sound, almost like she was calling for him.
Ron turned immediately and smiled.
"Ines." He gently took her from Dream.
Dream's gaze shifted to the TV.
Her expression changed.
Her eyes widened.
She now understood why Ron had been so focused.
"Ron…" she said softly.
He turned to her.
"Last night, Carter and Jake fought some dragon guy," Ron said calmly. "Then a woman appeared… and destroyed an entire city. Carter, Jake, and Lia are severely injured."
Dream's face fell.
Ron clenched his fists.
"It's Foster."
Dream looked at him, surprised.
"You know about Foster?" she asked.
Ron nodded.
"Dream… can Carter, Jake, and Lia be saved?" he asked.
Dream met his eyes.
She nodded.
"I can try."
Ron frowned. "You're not in good condition."
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
"No… I am better. Back to my prime."
A moment later — they vanished.
They reappeared near the hospital, both cloaked in invisibility.
Ron glanced at Dream.
"You can use invisibility too?" he asked, surprised.
"Yes," she replied simply.
"When did you learn that?" Ron pressed.
She hesitated. "I don't know."
Before he could question her further, she spoke again.
"Let's save your friends first."
They slipped inside, moving straight toward the ward where Carter, Jake, and Lia lay.
At the door, Ron stopped.
Ava was sitting there — asleep.
His eyes widened for a brief moment.
Dream noticed.
She glanced at him… then smiled faintly.
Ron quickly masked his reaction.
Dream stepped into the ward.
Who would've thought I'd meet my second wife here… Ron thought.
Inside, Dream placed her hands over the each of them, one by one.
A gentle but powerful energy spread through the room.
Their wounds began to close.
Broken bones mended.
Torn flesh healed.
Within seconds — their bodies were restored, not just healed, but stronger than before.
Ron exhaled in relief.
"Well done, Dream."
She smirked slightly. "Didn't I tell you I'm back at my prime?"
He nodded. "Yeah… let's go."
They left the ward quietly.
Outside, Ron saw Ava again She was still asleep.
He didn't say anything.
Once outside the hospital, they dropped their invisibility and teleported back home.
Ron rushed toward Ines, laughing softly as he played with her.
Dream watched them for a moment.
Then she spoke.
"Ron… that woman. You have my permission."
Ron froze.
His eyes widened.
Is she talking about Ava?
"…Sorry, I don't understand," he said carefully.
Dream only smiled faintly.
"Nothing."
She sat down and quietly watched Ron and Ines together.
Ron let out a silent breath.
That was close… I really dodged a bullet. Ron thought
He tried to glance at Dream from the corner of his eye. She was already watching him. Quickly, he turned his head back as if nothing had happened.
"Ron."
He flinched slightly.
"Y-Yes?" he said.
"What should we do about Nachio?" Dream asked calmly.
"I'll take care of them," Ron replied.
"I'm coming with you," Dream said immediately.
Ron stood up quietly, his expression unreadable. He gently picked up Ines and sat beside her.
Leaning close, he whispered in her ear, "You will do nothing. You will stay here with Ines. Understood?"
Dream sighed but nodded. "Yes, boss. Roger that."
Ron smiled faintly. "Now… Ines, let's play with Mama."
He carefully handed Ines to Dream.
"Hi, Ines. I'm Mama," Dream said softly.
Ines looked at her… then back at Ron.
Ron shifted slightly on the couch to get comfortable, but Ines thought he was leaving. Her face scrunched up, and she started crying, stretching her tiny hands toward him.
"Ron, she's calling for you," Dream said.
Ron's face lit up instantly. He quickly took Ines back and began playing with her. Ines giggled and smiled.
"She doesn't like Mama," Dream said with a playful pout.
"No, no, she loves you. She's just shy," Ron said confidently.
Dream laughed. "What twisted logic."
Both of them laughed together.
Ron sat beside Dream again and gently pointed at her. "She is Mama," he said to Ines.
Ines smiled, reaching her hands toward Dream. Dream gently took her.
"Look, she likes you." Ron said. Dream nodded.
Then Dream pointed toward Ron. "He is Papa."
Ron was casually looking at the TV.
Suddenly, Ines spoke.
"Pa… pa."
Ron's head snapped toward her instantly. Dream's eyes widened.
"Did she just say 'Papa'?" Ron exclaimed, almost jumping off the couch.
"She said Papa! She said Papa!" he repeated, his excitement overflowing.
"You're jumping like a child," Dream teased, then turned to Ines. "Ines, say Mama."
"Pa… pa," Ines said again.
Ron burst into laughter. "HAHAHA! I am the best!"
He then leaned closer to Ines and gently said, "Ines… say Mama."
"Ma… ma," Ines whispered.
Dream froze for a second… then warmth filled her chest. Her smile grew just as bright as Ron's, her happiness endless.
Both sat together in the warmth of their family.
Elsewhere,
Under the Night Sky
A woman collapsed onto the ground, covered in blood.
"You damn woman… why didn't you follow orders?" Ross roared.
Eirene was so badly beaten that she couldn't even speak.
"I ordered you all to let Carter and Jake dismantle Nachio so that Eric would be forced to step down and fight them!" Ross thundered.
Rio stood silently behind him, arms crossed.
"Handle her, Rio," Ross said coldly before turning and walking out.
Rio stepped closer to Eirene. "Any last words?"
Eirene tried to speak, but her body failed her. She was barely conscious.
Rio blinked and in that instant, Eirene suddenly regained her ability to speak.
"Give me… one last chance," she whispered, desperately gripping his leg.
Rio looked down at her face in silence.
"…Fine. You have one chance," he said at last.
In the next second, Eirene was completely healed — her wounds gone, her body restored.
Rio stood up and turned to leave.
"Can I leave, foster?" Eirene asked weakly.
Rio stopped but didn't look back. "No. You know too much about us. Letting you leave would be suicide."
Then he walked out of the room.
Eirene remained alone, sitting in the corner… and began to sob quietly.
