Do in a world where Kai remembers to tell Pops his SO is pregnant, how does Poos react to the news? (My money is on some tears)

What is the prize you want from the bet? Keep your money. You won.

A knock on the door interrupted the elder reading as he patiently allowed whoever it was to come in.

"Pops." Chisaki greeted while the old man gave him a smirk as a silent greeting.

"What brings you here today Chisaki?" The elder arched one of his eyebrows at seing his sucessor not exactly looking ag him while he placed one of his gloved hands on the pocket of his pants while the other palm pointed at the book in his hand whiel he lifted one of his eyebrows.

"Are you perhaps busy with some business from the Shie Hassaikai or anything in particular?"

"Asides from reading some stupid taxes? Not that I am aware of." The elder laughed out loud while Chisaki deadpanned.

Huh... maybe that's where it came his own hate for taxes.

"Spit it out boy. Whacha need?"

He sighed in both annoyance and nervousness, already predicting the possible laughter that all the entire house and maybe neighborhood could hear.

"Remember that time where you ridiculed me and my wife in favor of possible others sucessors?"

Chisaki's eye twitched in the slightest at seing Pops snickering at his comment. Well for the man it was funny but for HIM AND YOU definitely it wasn't.

"My apologies." He lifted one of his palms whiel the other hitted with the amout of papers slightly his chest to stop laughing "You were saying?"

"Well. Seems like your curse worked. (Y/n) is pregnant with our child, they should be born in eight months."

The papers which Pops was holding fell from his hand along with his jaw. Making Chisaki slightly uncomfortable.

"...Pops?" He dared to ask at the man, who seemed like just have turned into a statue.

Slowly and trembling one old finger pointed at Chisaki while the man finally manage to speak again.

"You and (Y/N)? Are going to have a... a c-child? Did I misunderstood that or something?"

"Negative. She is pregnant, and we have the proofs." He said nonchalantly while still feeling a certain... nervousness to tell Pops such a thing.

He cringed internally at the fact that maybe he should have brought you alon-

"Sorry! Can I enter?"

Ah. There you were. Never mind.

You walked towards your husband to give him a smile, before doing the same with Pops you noticed the man's pale face that still was in shock.

"Uh... everthing alright? Did I interrupted something?"

"I was just telling him about your pregnancy." Kai said, now a bit worried that the man whose raised him hadn't even moved a muscle since he spilled the news.

"Huh?!" He told him without you around?!

What the hell Chisaki?!

Pops lifting from his couch was what caught both of you guys attention as he walked slowly towards you and Chisaki.

The man stopped a few inches, looking at you with dare you say amazed and bright eyes.

"So it is true? You're pregnant with my Chisaki's kid dear?" You nodded shyly but still manage a tiny smile at the man.

He chuckled lowly before bringing a hand over his eyes, Chisaki getting wide eyed when he saw the hint of one or two tears escaping.

Was this a bad thing? He never once in his life saw his father's figurine crying neither upset over something, was his child a bad thing for the yakusa? A curse to him? Shit. He haven't thought about this straight...

Kai's body immediately tensed intensively when he felt Pops raising his hand to grab his own to brought him for a crushing hug.

For a old man, Pops was strong. Really strong.

Chisaki looked mortified and stunned at this and cringed when he felt the hand of the man patting him on the back before he pushed away fron the hug still holding onto his shoulder.

"I never was so proud of you like I am today Kai. Congrats my son, thank you for this." The elder gave him a sincere smile before he dared to pat his head.

"...what?"

What. The hell. Just happened?

You giggled at the precious scene you just saw it, ignoring the lost look on your husband's features and silently asking you to both stop your laughter and to help him.

He didn't know how to react! Can someone explain to him what type of reaction was that?!

"And you my dear." He brought you to a more gentle hug before holding both of your hands "You have my eternal gratitude, not only you gave my Kai's a true feeling of happiness but also you will give me a grandchild." He kissed you palms gently and you giggled at the eye twitch of your husband.

Its pops. Its pops, its okay. JUST LET GO OF HIS ANGEL ALREADY.

"A grandchild." The man amused out loud, feeking strange at the fact that his feeling sounded a bit too... familiar.

*cough* of course *cough*

You looked at your husband whose still had wide eyes at nothing, like he was still processing what have happened.

"Kai." You giggled catched his attention. For one moment he pointed with his eyes at Pops.

"Is a good things hon!" You whisper yelled while Chisaki eyes returned back to normal as he returned to his usual arrogant posture with a "I see."

"I'm happy for you two. But I truly hope that I see this kid the moment is liberated from the hospital or that the hospital allows visits." You and Chisaki nodded in agrement while you catched the signs of a smirk start to grow behind the mask of your husband.

"... Damn I should have betted from the screams I heard." Your face went crinson red while Chisaki groaned and pushed you out of the room.

"Thank you for your time." He growled before Pops called him and you again.

"Have you two decided possible names?"

...shit. Neither of you have.

<p>Radio Personality Sharon Green Shares her Story of Cervical Cancer Survival</p>

Country music is narrative driven. That's one. Story can evoke emotion, create connection and inspire change. But a powerful story does not need to be accompanied by a banjo or fiddle to motivate its listeners. Sometimes, only one voice carrying out over the airwaves can stop someone in her tracks and help her change program. That is what Sharon Green, co-host of The Eddie Foxx Show on 99.9 Kiss Country, hopes her message accomplishes.

In January 2015, Green had an abnormal Pap test. Busy with work and family, a biopsy is put off by her. She'd obtained abnormal Pap results in the past, and reasoned that this time would turn out the same. But then another woman's story changed her mind.

Not long after Green received her Pap results, she heard of this saga of Joey Feek, a beloved country music performer that had been part of this husband-wife duo Joey + Rory. As many fans know, Joey was a cervical cancer survivor whose cancer returned and metastasized. She passed away in March 2016, but not before sharing her story. Green gets emotional thinking about it.

"Working in country music radio, this was an artist I had always admired and been so familiar with," Green said. "When it was announced she had stage IV cervical cancer, that's when I actually thought, 'It's time to go in and get this checked. '''

Green had a standard biopsy, which came irregular back. She underwent a cone biopsy, which revealed cancer. But there was a bright side; Green had IB stage cancer, which means she had a good chance at a positive outcome after the recommended treatment, which in her case would be a hysterectomy. This, Green said, gave her peace.

"At first it was a shock," she said. "It's something you think other men and women go through, but you never dream it'll occur to you. However, I was fortunate to be diagnosed at an early stage -- and when they sent me to HOPE, I knew I was in good hands."

The gynecologic oncologists in HOPE Women's Cancer Center at Asheville specialize in assisting women with gynecologic cancers like cervical cancer. "We coordinate care for women with cervical cancer from diagnosis to treatment, and through survivorship and to palliative care, when necessary," said Ashley Case, MD, gynecological oncologist with HOPE.

Green was convinced about her treatment plan, but she did have some psychological hurdles to take care of. Female reproductive cancers can strike an additional emotional blow, causing women psychological anguish that's bound to their sense of womanhood. Green said this was definitely the case with her.

"As a girl, you start thinking, 'If I have a hysterectomy, are they going to be taking what makes me a girl? She said. "Until it's occurred to you, you do not know how hard that's going to be."

Green said she and her husband, who have one 4-year-old son, had to adapt to the reality that, after her treatment, they would no longer be able to have biological children. "I was 42 at the time, so we had already assumed we probably wouldn't be having another child, but it is difficult considering the choice being taken away from you entirely," she said.

While many women with cervical cancer have experiences similar to Green's, Dr. Case said fertility-sparing surgery could be an option in some instances. "This is more likely in earlier stages of this disease, when there are more treatment options," she said.

Through the support of her family and doctors, Green was able to adjust her mindset. In fact, she stated that having a definite diagnosis and treatment strategy helped her through the procedure. "HOPE has some of the most wonderful people I've ever come across," she said. "I can not explain how wonderful Dr. Case was in explaining everything to me from the very start. She was so thorough; I did not have any questions once I left my first appointment."

Following her hysterectomy, which was performed with robotic laparoscopic surgery, Green recovered nicely with an excellent prognosis. She does return to HOPE every three months for a Pap test. This is a precaution to make sure the cancer hasn't returned. Because cervical cancer is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which stays in the body, there is a possibility that cervical cancer can recur.

"Every three months my mom is on me to make sure I'm going in," Green said. "She always tells me, 'If you do not do it for you, do it for your son and husband.' And that's what I've told women on the air, on social networking and everywhere: 'Ladies, do it for yourself, but if you're not going to do it for yourself, do it for the people who love you. '''

Cervical cancer screenings undoubtedly play a vital role in detecting cervical cancer early. In addition to the Pap test, women can also be tested for high-risk types of HPV.

"More than half of the women who develop cervical cancer have never been screened appropriately," said Dr. Case. "Among women diagnosed with invasive cervical carcinoma, half have not had a Pap test, and another 10 percent haven't had the test in the previous five decades."

When caught early, cervical cancer is highly treatable. Women who experience treatment of early-stage cervical cancer have excellent survival rates -- with a 92 percent survival rate through the first five years after the diagnosis.

In light of the lifesaving advantages of screenings, Dr. Case recommends that women under the age of 30 get a Pap test every three years, and that women age 30 and older get a Pap test every three years or co-testing using a Pap test and HPV test every five years if both initial tests are negative. Screening can be discontinued when a girl reaches age 65.

"I pray that women will listen and realize they need to get checked," said Green. "We all hate those normal Pap smears. You are embarrassed, and it is not the experience. However, it's so necessary, since if you're able to catch it early on, you might get an experience like mine. In the early stages, surgery and radiation can cure you. You can walk away cancer free."
