No monument will be erected to my memory, and my name will soon be forgotten. But I have loved someone with all my heart, with all my soul. And for me, that is enough to fill a life'.

Carina had woken up Maya at about a quarter past one in the morning from her concussion. They were talking about their future baby in bed, after a dream the captain had about it.

- "and so we take a donor from a sperm bank? "

- "of course bambina, where do you want to take it? "

- "we could have used someone we know"

- "like... Your brother?"

- "no, that's not what I mean. Plus I wish that if we had two, the donor would be the same..."

- "so we can do that, look at the donors. Some characteristics of yours, your eye color for example..."

- "so you don't want a donor we know?"

- "I don't know bambina. It's risky... And then who to choose ... Dean, he already has a child, Ben, I don't think Miranda will agree. I don't see myself asking Travis or Emmett because we would have a kid and they wouldn't..."

- "and I don't think they're there in their relationship"

- "but Emmett could have been good, he could be your brother from another mother! "

-Do you think so? "

- "but so much!!! "

- "what are our other options? "

- "hmmm Schmidt, but the problem remains the same... A gay couple would probably want joint custody... Wolf?"

- "and... Ja--"

- "hum hum bambina, don't tell me Jack!!! "

- "it's not his fault you know... At least I think so.... "

- "he knew we were together"

- "yes, but I'm the one who gave it to him... Obviously... Jumped on him... And you forgave me"

- "because I can't live without you... No but Jack..." Just at this idea the brunette had shaken her shoulders in disgust and shouted "aaaaarrrrghhh"

- "don't abuse him either. He's handsome, kind, hardworking..."

- "you needed to put handsome first? "

- "it was to say"

- "yes well avoid saying too much..."

- "wait, I'll get our PCs "
She was back a few moments later. "Well... What are your criteria?"

- "smart, kind, blue-eyed, doctor or astrophysicist... Or a profession that looks good... Why not a high IQ?"

- "okayyyy.... "

- "what?"

- "How is this child going to look like me?"

- "intelligent, kind, blue eyes"

-"Not even a little bit athletic? A silver medalist at least, in any discipline... I don't care, even the javlot throw.... Well, I would prefer running, endurance... A real sport... But a minimum of sport".

- "swimming? "

- "yeah swimming is not bad, moreover it allows you to work on your apnea"

- "why apnea? "
