Jojo had been waiting impatiently for his mother to come and tell him that he could come out now. But he had been waiting for a long, long time, and there was no voice that came from his mother.
Jojo had heard a maid giving birth in the palace before, and her scream was heard across the entire palace, so he was forced to stay awake until dawn.
He also remembered his conversation with his mother during that time:
'Mommy, why is she screaming like that? Is she really alright?'
'She is not alright, Jojo. When a woman is giving birth, her life is at stake, and she could die while giving birth.'
'That's so scary, Mommy. Why would she want to get pregnant if it will hurt her?'
Jojo remembered how his mother gave such a sweet smile and replied;
'Because mothers would do anything to save their children. Just like how I'd do anything to save you, Jojo.'
At that time, Jojo didn't really pay it any mind because his mother always said that she'd do anything to protect him, and she did.
