TIME TRAVELER: E196. ON STANDBY

Back at the Shen family house…

"They must have registered Rowan by now," Karen sighed.
"Well, it's about time, isn't it? Jul must be so happy, not to mention Robin", Dylan replied.
"And when will the 'right time' be to tell them the truth?"
"Like I said, the wisest thing is to wait until after Dustin's wedding."


"I don't know if I'll be able to live with this secret 'til then," Karen said.
"You will, it's just a few days, then we'll fill them all in, first Robin, then Jul and the boys; I mean Logan, since Dust will be on his honeymoon."


"Do you think he'll forgive us for not telling him?"
"Trust me he'll be so busy he won't even remember we exist," Dylan joked.
"True," Karen smiled.


"What if Robin asks about his DNA test?" She asked.
"We don't tell him anything about that either; he deserves a few more days of peace, especially this one, so we're on standby until the time is right. Now, eat please, dear, your breakfast is getting cold." Dylan requested, seeing that Karen hadn't touched her food.
"I don't think I can pass a bite until I know Juliette got home okay."
"Karen…"


"Yes, I know, you trust Robin completely," she cut in. "And I want to trust him as well, but with everything we know now about him and his family, maybe we should take certain precautions, like calling Juliette, or going to find her, just to make sure everything's okay".
"They're okay, I'm sure. In fact, they must be ecstatic". Dylan reaffirmed.
}

"You're right," Karen sighed again. "Please, ignore me, nervousness makes me talk nonsense," she added, finally starting to eat.
"I don't want to ignore you, dear, I just want you to be okay," Dylan replied.
"I'm going to be, just give me a little time".
