Chapter 2

“Hwoarang, Jin, Julia and Ling went upstairs to the nursery room. “I have the perfect solution for this,” said Jin with a smile. Jin started to rock the baby gently on a rocking chair and humming softly. Jin’s baby’s eyes started to flutter and then he was asleep. Jin looked at Hwoarang with a smile and a raised eyebrow. “Oh please. You look like my grandmother while she was in a mental institute. This is the way that it’s done,” Hwoarang said with confidence. Hwoarang took out his portable boom box and raised the volume to full blast. The music woke up Jin’s baby quickly and it started crying. Though Jin’s baby was crying Hwoarang’s baby was gurgling along with the music. Hwoarang then whispered to the baby, “Go to sleep you little runt. Not try to sing along with the damn music,” “Kenjiro don’t cry. Daddy’s here,” Jin said soothingly. Kenjiro still wouldn’t stop crying. Jin started to get this weird headache and he suddenly said to the baby in a threatening manner, “Be a man. DON’T CRY!”  Hwoarang looked at Jin with wide eyes. Hwoarang started to see markings on Jin’s forehead. Jin shook his head and the markings disappeared instantly. And Kenjiro looked frigthenly up at his father.

“Oh Kenjiro I’m sorry. Daddy didn’t mean to…Ow! Damn headache,” Jin started to massage his forehead. Julia noticed Jin’s awkwardness and said to Ling, “Uh, Ling what’s the specialty that Jin has?” “I…I…can’t say at this moment,” Ling whispered nervously. “Thanks a lot Hwoarang. Now Kenjiro can’t go to sleep again now,” Jin said glaring. “Hey it’s not my fault you’re not good enough to be a father. My baby also can’t sleep. Hey this is not a damn Barney song you idiot,” Hwoarang said angrily at the baby. While Jin and Hwoarang were arguing, Kenjiro took a stuffed panda and started to play with it. Hwoarang’s baby Bernice, took noticed and joined Kenjiro. Jin and Hwoarang stopped arguing and looked at their baby’s. “Axel!—“ said Hwoarang until Julia interrupts “Its Bernice Hwoarang!” Julia shouted again. “My God! Okay woman. Bernice, Bernice. Anyway, Bernice doesn’t play with stupid stuffed animals. She’s going to be in the military like me,” Hwoarang smiled. “Well, Kenjiro is going to be a champion martial artist like me,” Jin smiled.

“This is so sad, yet funny,” Julia commented. “Yeah, I know. They both suck but don’t know it,” Ling said shaking her head. The two started laughing. “Okay what’s our next competition?” Jin asked. “Diaper changing,” Hwoarang said. “Hmph. You’re on,” Jin said with a hand on his hip. They put the baby’s on a big table and started taking the diaper off. “Eww. I’m not---“Hwoarang said. “So you’re giving up?” asked Jin with a smile. “Uh, no, no. I’ll go on. Julia get me a shower cap and dishwashing gloves and a mask if there’s one available,” Hwoarang asked. “Nuh uh, you’re going to do that the ole fashion way. With your bare hands,” said Julia crossing her arms. “Damn it, when we get home…ugh,” Hwoarang mumbled. Jin cleaned Kenjiro with the baby wipes and put an ointment that prevented Kenjiro from getting a rash. Jin then put the diaper on and was finished. Jin looked at Hwoarang and said, “What’s the matter?” “NOTHINGS THE MATTER! God, the pressure…I can’t take this no more. Ugh, yuck. I can’t ruin these sensitive hands of mine,” said Hwoarang stepping away from the baby. “You’re such a wuss, Hwoarang,” said Jin as he started to change Bernice diaper. “There. It’s that easy. No Ebola virus or nothing,” said Jin. Hwoarang slowly stepped to the baby and said to Jin like a frightened child, “Really?” “Yeah,” responded Jin with a sigh. “Ha! I could’ve done that. Its because Julia and me are going to have sex later and I don’t want her to gag on anything, or me” said Hwoarang. “Yeah, right. Not while we have the baby Hwoarang,” said Julia. Hwoarang glared at Julia and said, “Honey, what’s the score on Jin and me?” “Well, the last round ya both lost, cause of you Hwoarang. So, nothing there to score. And Jin won this round by default. So Jin one point. Hwoarang nada,” Julia said with a laugh. “Well…okay, as long as you’re paying attention and keeping score,” Hwoarang said kinda humiliated. Julia just rolled her eyes.
 

“Okay what’s our next stupid race gonna be?’ asked Jin. “Hmm…ah, this is something you have no expertise in Jin,” Hwoarang said proudly. “And what would that be?” asked Jin with his arms crossed. “Having fun, Ha!” shouted Hwoarang. “Whatever. Kenjiro and me always have fun, you’ll see,” Jin said. “I’ll go first,” said Hwoarang. Later on, Hwoarang, Jin,Ling and Julia were heading to a bridge. “Ax—I mean BERNICE,” said Hwoarang quickly looking at Julia before she corrected him. “Will bungie jump off this here bridge. Now that’s what I call fun,” Hwoarang smiled. “What? Isn’t bungie jumping off this bridge illegal? The cops will arrest us especially you. You’re just going to make your parole violation much worse. And besides that, it’s way too dangerous. I don’t think it’s a good idea,” said Julia trying to grab hold of the baby. Hwoarang put his arm out to prevent Julia from taking the baby. “First of all I’ve done this plenty of time’s. So I know what I’m doing okay. I’m alive right?” Hwoarang said putting the baby in a backpack

Two hours later the trio went back to Ling and Jin’s house. “Thank God the police went easy on you Hwoarang. You dropped Bernice when you went down. Thank goodness the police boat was there to catch her. And also you would’ve drowned. The rope was bobbing you up and down, “ Julia said furiously. “Hey but Bernice was laughing all the way down right?” Hwoarang smiled. “True, but don’t do this ever again,” Julia said. “Try and beat that Kazama,” Hwoarang scoffed.  “Now Kenjiro and I are going to have a SAFE fun,” said Jin entering the dojo. Hwoarang just rolled his eyes and said, “You don’t even know the damn meaning of the word “fun” if you had a dictionary.” Jin changed into his red flame pants and started showing off his moves and explaining injuries from them. “This Dragon punch here will split your skull in and not to mention your jaw will be looking like a crown on your head,” Jin laughed. The baby was looking frightened. “Okay since having fun is a family affair I’ll get your mother to join in Kenjiro. Ling come here,” ordered Jin. “No, no,” said Ling stepping back. “Come on now. I’m not going to hurt you,” said Jin with an innocent smile. “Okay I want you to be my enemy. Attack me,” said Jin straightening up. “Uh, okay,” said Ling nervously. Ling lightly punched him on his chest.

"That’s not a punch. That’s a tap. Come on, show me what you got,” said Jin. Ling strike Jin with a powerful punch to the face. Jin staggered back from the punch. “Uh, that’s good, good. Now Kenjiro this is what you do when someone comes up to your face,” said Jin karate chopped Ling on her throat. Ling fell on her knees and was coughing madly and gasping for air. “Oh my God. Ling are you okay?” said Julia leaning down besides Ling. “I’m, uh…okay,” Ling said coughing. Ling slowly got her composure and air back. Now she was furious. “Get ready to get a beat down,” Ling said with her eyes narrow at Jin. Ling stepped kicked Jin on his abdomen and he hit the wall behind him hard. Jin was completely taken by surprise by Ling’s attack. He looked at Ling with narrow blood red eyes. Jin quickly got up and Ultimate Tackle Ling on the hard floor. Jin was about to punch Ling when Ling, wide-eyed kneed Jin on the crotch.

“Uh, Hwoarang I think we should stop this fight,” Julia said worriedly. “Nah, this is fun. It’s better then getting beat up myself,” said Hwoarang suddenly having a bowl of popcorn in front of him. Jin rolled off of Ling’s hit to the crotch. Now Jin was on a fetal position and said, “Cheap shot.” Ling got up from the floor. Jin slowly stood up and slowly with a cold glance and weird looking marks on his forehead. Ling tried to remain rigid, trying not to show fear. Hwoarang and Julia mouths were wide open in shock. “Hwoarang why does Jin have those weird markings on his forehead?” asked Julia nudging Hwoarang with her elbow and not taking her eyes off of Jin. Hwoarang’s popcorn fell off his mouth when he saw Jin with the markings and red eyes. Suddenly like quick lighting Jin Ultimate Uppercut punch Ling. Ling flew several feet away. Kenjiro was now crying hysterically. “DON’T CRY!” Jin shouted in unusually deep and menacing voice. Everyone was quiet at that moment.
 

“AHHHHH! I think you broke my jaw you damn psycho,” said Ling holding her jaw in pain. “See I told you. Now don’t think you can learn this overnight. You have to practice each and every day. Got it?” Jin said with his arms crossed. The baby then looked at him with a blank expression. “Julia would you please call an ambulance?” asked Ling. “Of course,” said Julia as she headed for the phone. But Jin quickly took the receiver and put it down. “Ling will be just fine with an ice pack. She’ll regain use of it in a few days…or weeks,” said Jin. Julia quickly stepped back and sat next to Hwoarang hugging his arm.

“Okay what’s our next competition?” Jin asked giving Ling an ice pack. “Jin you moron. I think you broke Xiaoyu’s jaw. You should take her to the hospital,” Hwoarang said not believing what he was hearing. “Oh please. Ling will be just fine with an ice pack and my care,” Jin said caressing Ling’s hair. Ling then looked at Jin with frightened eyes and did a muffled scream while holding the ice pack to her jaw. “Uh, okay. The next race is feeding the babies,” said Hwoarang giving Jin a weird expression.

Hwoarang and Jin went into the kitchen while Julia and Ling were sitting in the couch tending to Ling’s jaw. “Uh, where are the pots at?” asked Hwoarang. “Oh I’ll get them,” said Jin looking into a cupboard. Hwoarang at that moment went up to Jin’s baby and waved his hand over its eyes. The baby didn’t blink or flinch an inch one bit, just the same blank expression and looking ahead. “Okay here they are?” said Jin handing Hwoarang a small pot with a handle.

Few minutes later the two fathers were in the middle of making the baby food. “Ax—I MEAN BERNICE,” Hwoarang shouted. “OH OKAY,” Julia shouted back. “Bernice, daddy is going to make you some good baby grub,” Hwoarang smiled. Bernice just smiled a bit nervously. Jin was looking at the milk waiting for it to be ready. God I love being a father. I can’t wait when Ling and me get married. We’re gonna have tons of babies. Like about 10. Yeah. And especially I’m going to love making love all night, though Jin with a smile. Hmm…since Kenjiro is going to be just like his dear ole daddy I could just put something in his food to make him just like me. Its never too early you know, Jin though as he put some weight gain powder and some steriods in Kenjiro’s milk. This milk is gonna taste so bland, I should spice it up some, thought Hwoarang as he took out a flask and poured some fruit flavored alcohol in Bernice’s milk. And also taking a sip of the alcohol himself.
 

A few minutes later the two guys were done. “Okay here you go Bernice enjoy,” said Hwoarang holding the baby while he puffed on a cigarette which caused the baby to choke sometimes. “Here Kenjiro dinner time,” Jin smiled. But Kenjiro still had that same blank expression since the dojo fight and he wouldn’t sip the milk. “Kenjiro what’s wrong?” asked Jin as he put the bottle in its mouth but the milk would come out in the corners of its mouth. “Oh my God. Ling come in here now,” Jin shouted. Ling came inside the kitchen with the ice pack still on her jaw. She asked in a muffled voice, “What’s wrong?” “I think something’s wrong with Kenjiro. He doesn’t want to drink his milk,” said Jin worriedly. Ling just observed the baby and waved her hand over its eyes. Kenjiro of course didn’t blink or make any expression. Ling thought of the worst.  “Mijpgjasidh,” said Ling in a muffled voice again. “What?” Jin asked. “I said I think you might’ve given it a mental breakdown,” said Ling until she felt the searing pain of her jaw and ran upstairs to her bedroom screaming in pain. “Oh please. Come on Kenjiro, sip the milk for daddy, please,” said Jin with innocent eyes. Kenjiro with the same blank expression started to sip the milk.

Bernice finished with her milk and suddenly vomits on Hwoarang. “What the hell!” shouted Hwoarang as he quickly got up and put the baby on the kitchen table. Julia quickly came in to see what was wrong. “Oh my God. Hwoarang what did you do to Bernice now?” asked Julia holding up the baby and wiping the vomit away with a paper towel. Hwoarang also grabbed a paper towel to wipe the vomit off his clothes. “This goddamn piece of junk finished drinking her damn milk and she suddenly vomits on me. I can take this anymore,” Hwoarang said still wiping some vomit off of his clothes. “Oh so you give up huh?” said Jin with a smile. Just then Kenjiro skin started turning blue and he couldn’t breath well and his eyes closed. “Jin what’s wrong with your baby?” asked Julia. Jin looked down and was in a panic. “Oh no,” said Jin as he turned on a fan and patting Kenjiro’s back. Kenjiro then vomits the steriods and powder out along with the milk on Jin back. “Like what did ya guys put in the milk to get them so sick?” Julia said as she sipped some of Bernice’s milk. “Is this bacardi?” she asked Hwoarang. “Hey I just wanted the milk to have some kick, that’s all,” Hwoarang shrugged. Julia then punched him in the face. “YOU IDIOT!” Julia shouted.  “I don’t even want to know what you put in his milk Jin,” Julia frowned.

“Hey Jin, can I borrow one of your shirts?” asked Hwoarang. “Uh, sure. Let me go get it,” said Jin putting Kenjiro down on the table. Jin went upstairs and tried opening the bedroom door but it was locked from the inside. “Ling open up. Hwoarang needs to borrow one of my shirts okay,” said Jin knocking on the door. Jin heard a noise inside, then suddenly the door opened a notch and Ling threw a shirt at Jin’s face and immediately closed the door. “Uh, thanks hon,” said Jin looking at the door weirdly.

“Okay here you go,” said Jin handing the shirt to Hwoarang. “Thanks,” Hwoarang said taking off his vomited shirt and putting Jin’s. “Hwoarang come to the store with me. I have to get something,” said Julia walking towards the front door. “Okay,” Hwoarang said with a sigh. “Hey Ling do you want to come with us to the store?” Julia shouted. Ling quickly ran outside and into her car and honking the horn and saying, “Come on let’s go.” “Okay, that was fast. Jin can you look after Bernice while we’re out?” Julia asked. “Sure,” Jin smiled.

“Uh, guys you don’t mind if I make a stop to the church right?” Ling asked. “Sure. Uh, but what for though?” asked Julia.
