New York, NY

The green iridescent digits shined on a shadowy mans watch. He was sitting in his car watching a culprit out of the corner of his eye. The culprit stood outside a tall skyscraper under an overhang. He was up to something and the man in the vehicle was going to find out.

00:01:01

The man outside the overhang quickly ran inside and instantly shot a guard.  The shadowy figure quickly opened the side door and ran inside. The culprit was soon found by the shadowy figure and shot in the head by a pistol. Before the man died he screamed out a weak sentence.

"Who are You?"

The figure then replied.

"Bond. James Bond"

On the other side of the world in London a little miracle was just beginning to occur. A young couple were about to have their first child. The moment was unexpected and neither believed it had been real. The mother was a young Double-O Agent named Skye Johnson and the father was a young Quartermaster named Quinton Oswald he was now know in his workplace as Q. They both discovered the baby bump a few weeks after a one night stand they both had and decided to investigate it. Sure enough it was a baby girl. For weeks after they debated whether to put her up for adoption after she was born or even an abortion which Skye was completely against.

The delivery went smoothly and they soon had their new child  in their arms. They decided to name her Clara Oswin Oswald.

"We can never let her know about our REAL lives."

"I understand completely."

From that point on it was decided that Clara would never know her parents true workplace and they would need to keep it that way until she was old enough to understand. They had also decided it was best for them be a family unit and keep it a secret from those at work. Relationships with coworkers never went well around MI-6. Everyone viewed it as a risk in security and privacy and confidentiality. That night Q proposed to her in secret to which Skye willingly agreed.

A Month Later...

Skye and Q became a married couple through law. The wedding was beautiful. A few close friends and a few coworkers who they both trusted not to tell anyone attended the service. Skye had cut her hair and curled it just for the ceremony and had a wreath of real white daisies atop her head. It was all to pay tribute to her parents for her middle name Daisy. They both said their "I Do's" and then passionately kissed to the sound of claps and cheers from the small crowd of guests.

A few weeks later they had officially begun their new lives. They now rented an apartment and spent many years with their new daughter. They kept the secret from her for several years by being at home when she would get home from school or taking her to after school care until one was able to pick her up. They even had Q's mom look after her for the nights they knew they would get home late. So far the secret had worked as planned. But would it last?
