Family Times

Okay, okay, picking on Kenzo was fun and all, but we have a story to get to, and we also need to dial back the drama. So here's a much more heartwarming chapter. Check your teeth afterward, because I went heavy on the sugar for this bowl of sweetness.


Family Times

Back in 1992, Jotaro was anxious as he paced in the hospital's waiting room. When he and Fluttershy had learned of her pregnancy, meaning they had to cut off their search for Diavolo, he wasn't sure what to think. Sure, he had every intention of being different from his own father, but he was getting his degree in marine biology, so it was difficult to say how easy it would be. He was soon joined by his friends as they arrived. "Hey," Jotaro said, "How'd the search go?" "We managed to track down Diavolo," Kakyoin said, "But unfortunately he slipped away."

"Bastard has a Stand that can erase a few seconds of time," Polnareff said, "Working together we were able to overwhelm him regardless, but he was still able to give us the slip. It could be years before we track him down again." "How's Fluttershy been?," Avdol asked. "Getting through it," Jotaro said. He sighed. "I'd like to think that our daughter won't have to deal with the same troubles our family has been having for the last few decades, but deep down I know I'm deluding myself. It's only a matter of time."

Just then, a doctor came out of the nearby room. "Mister Jotaro Kujo?" Jotaro nodded in his direction. "Congratulations," the doctor said with a warm smile, "You're officially a father. Your wife has safely delivered the baby and both of them are in good health. You may come in to see them now." Jotaro headed inside to see Fluttershy cradling their new daughter. As the newborn was busy breast-feeding, the familiar star-shaped birthmark was visible.

"I wanted her to see her new father first," Fluttershy said, "But she got real hungry when she finally decided to come out. I guess she used up a lot of energy." Kakyoin was distracted by the strings that seemed to be coming off the baby's body. "Is that what I think it is?" Fluttershy nodded. "Yeah, it looks like she was born with a Stand. Considering me and Jotaro are Stand users, we shouldn't be surprised. In fact, I'm more surprised she developed it this early."

"She must have a strong spirit," Avdol said with a smile, "I was four when I first learned how to control my Stand." Jotaro smiled as he gently rubbed the baby girl's head. "Guess if trouble ever does find you, you'll be ready to face it. Isn't that right... Jolyne?" "Jolyne?," Polnareff asked. "The name we agreed on," Jotaro explained. "Somehow we just knew our child would follow the same path of destiny," Fluttershy noted, "So we thought her name should reflect the status of Jojo."

Jolyne had finished feeding and now turned to look at her father. Her eyes were inquisitive as Jotaro carefully picked her up. "Welcome to the world," Jotaro said, "I'll make sure you get to know it well, because one day, you just might have to protect it." The group smiled at the sight of Jolyne nuzzling against her larger father like he was an oversized teddy bear. The new generation had been born.


It was during the early months of 1999. Jolyne was chasing down her younger brother Josefumi. The rest of their family was surprised when Fluttershy became pregnant again so soon. Polnareff even joked that she had gotten some on the side, but Josefumi's familiar star birthmark confirmed he was Jotaro's son. Jotaro was trying to decide what to use as the subject of his next thesis paper, while Fluttershy was busy talking on the phone with the people in her veterinarian clinic.

As she hung up, the phone started ringing again. "Kujo residence. This is Fluttershy." 'Pardon the sudden call,' came the familiar voice of Roses, 'But would you and Master Jotaro please come over and make sure Master Joseph's friends don't accidentally murder him?' Fluttershy blinked. "Huh...?" When they got to Joseph Joestar's house, Jotaro actually snickered at the sight. It seemed Caesar and Applejack had decided to pay a visit, but for some reason Applejack was using To The Core to restrain Suzi Q, who for some reason was holding a melon baller, while Caesar had Joseph in a headlock ranting about unfaithfulness.

Fluttershy was just stunned, while Jolyne and Josefumi were confused. Eventually everyone calmed down enough and explained the situation. Apparently Joseph had a drunken one-night stand with a Japanese woman during the time he learned DIO had returned. And now that brief affair had resulted in a son. "Um, Daddy," Jolyne said, "What exactly is going on here?" "You basically have a great-uncle young enough to be your older brother," Jotaro explained. He sighed. "Gimme a break..."


Back in the present, Jotaro smiled as he remembered those memories. When Jolyne heard about their planned trip to Morioh, she begged to join. Jotaro finally relented. It was fun remembering her as being so cheerful. Despite her punkish looks later in life, Jolyne didn't seem to have much trouble making friends. In fact, up until the incident with Johngalli framing her for murder, Jotaro and Fluttershy didn't think Jolyne would ever run into serious problems until it was time for her destiny.

'I should have known,' he thought, 'Destiny can really creep up on you.' He was overseeing Gwess' recovery. As theorized, the return of her Stand restored her to life. It rather reminded Jotaro of the battle against D'Arby, who was finally snapping out of his delirium after so many years, though Jotaro was unsure if he would ever go back to gambling. He then felt a sudden weight on his leg, and looked down to see Shizuka there, now twelve years old.

Jotaro smiled. "Well if it isn't my littlest auntie." Shizuka grinned. "Jotaro, I'm your only auntie." There was a familiar laugh as Joseph appeared. In order to have the strength to raise Shizuka, Joseph had picked up his Hamon practice again. His age meant he still needed a walking cane but otherwise the familiar fighting spirit he once had was shining through in his posture once more. "The Speedwagon Foundation told me everything," he explained, "So now it's Jolyne's turn."

Jotaro nodded. "I don't know the situation inside Green Dolphin Prison, but I do know my daughter is fighting for everyone's safety." Joseph nodded. "I honestly thought we were done with DIO when you defeated him back in 1989. But I should have known his followers would still be wanting revenge for him." He sighed and shook his head. "I managed to get a picture of Pucci using Hermit Purple. And take a look at who's with him." Jotaro took the picture and frowned when he recognized the man next to him. "DeKurliss."
