...One Years Later

   Gianna
"You're going to be okay for being around with him?" Ben asked, driving me back home into the railroad of woods.

"Yes." I says, looking out to my window staring at some branches and trees. "I'm sure."

"Gianna,"

I turn glance at him.

"If you need anything. Just call us and let us know if you need anything. In case if there's any emergency." He said, handing me a black cards number with email address, also it add with BPRD logos on it.

I looked at it for a moment, then nodded him, takes the card from him.

Ben driven me back to the same cottage home in Vancouver where I'm use to be belong. It's turn out I'm a free. I'm became a free woman. Free about I can do whatever I want. It's mean, no one can stop me or even bothering me when I'm about to enjoy my life. All I want is peace and getting my life back. That it. That's all I need. I can't take chances for another hell of my life. No... way.

When we finally arrive at the cottage by the lake, I get out of the vehicles, and I thank to Ben for driving me home, who's been taking care of me. You know, I... accidentally slip, fell and injured my hand from the ice, where's Jack want it to see me and trying to killing me which wasn't sound good at all. I did had to kill him, cause I got no other choices, so it did. Finally it come me.

Ben nodded me, as he wave to goodbye and began to drive away.

I stood there while I'd watching him and waited till it's going away from here, and finally gone.

I scoffed, turn looked around to the cottage. Start to realized this is where I want it to make a fresh new start. A new start beginning I would say. Something I'd never considered because I knew wouldn't approve of it. I don't know if this is what I want. After all what we're been through enough from the horrible things about everything. But I didn't want it to talk about it. I just want to be enough.

I was greeted by Gina, who came outside with holding a baby in her arm. Her expression became surprise and amaze that she thought presumed me dead after I was struggle against Jack. I smiling slowly.

It's been a year since we have seen each other. Where's Cortex? Is he looking after the other baby?

"Gina, I... "

"Glad I'm here?" She says, her eye looked down at my hand are cover with white wrap bandages. "What happened to your hand?" She ask in bit worry. I look down and gazed steady at it.

"I accidentally slipped on the ice, it's a long story to talk about it." I told her, then look up to her and to the baby, he start to blabbered sound with making a duck lip and clapping his small soft both hand. He's so small.

I made no move to touch him. I was seemed almost afraid to do so.

Gina began to noticed this, she look at my... baby. Then she look back at me with mid-interest.

"Do you want to hold him?" She ask as she take a one step close to me.

My eye darted to Gina from the baby then swallowed.

"No."

She frowned, disappointed on her faces.

"Why not?" She asks.

I held up my hands with scars as if that would answer her question.

"He's pure and breakable. I—"
