WTF did I just read? Mood whiplash much?
I haven't experienced this myself, but isn't one of the things that you do when you are expecting is to have like a pregnancy bag ready so that you can immediately go to the hospital if your water breaks? Also have a plan of action and having the whole family on board? I feel like the Akebi family were a little negligent for their preparations.
Still yes Akebi is a hero. My heart stopped when I saw her curled up on a bench. Hiro is godly at drawing and I hate seeing that skill used to depict near tragedies.
