Nightmare

"To your left!" My head screams. With great accuracy Nightingale's elbow connects with his chin sending him falling to the ground. Attention brought back to the woman in front of me I kick her swiftly in the gut. Gun in front of me I push up the stairs. "You've got a tail." Nightingale says in my head calmly. Naturally she flips over to take my tail out. Bending forward I swing at the woman in front of me, she pins me taking rapid punches to my face. Pausing her I bite into her wrist no matter how much it disgusts me. Pulling up my gun she is down. Quickly the building is clear, and eager I nearly race out of the building. Actually I am surprised I did not get busted for speeding.

Happily I bounced through the door only to see a lonely note left by Steel. I'll be back, gone to the book store. :) I <3 you! Letting out a sigh I sit on the couch tracing the stitching. Steel gives me so much devotion, but I am selfish and want more. Our hours prevent us from seeing each other, I have the agency and he has the hospital. Embracing him would work wonders for me right now. Taking in his sent would make me high. Light returns to my face as a knock sounds at the door, jumping up I go to answer it. David's cold glare awaits me. "Oh hello David." I smile. Annoyance already coming into his voice he stares "Let's cut to the chase. Where is Steal?" Defensive I ask "Why?" Raising his eyebrows I tell him "At the book store." Turning without so much as a thank you he walks away. How could my kind Steel have such a jerk for a father?

Night works its way on the house and I crawl into bed. Steel never returns, making me restless. Adding some comfort Molly my Dalmatian squeezes into bed next to me. Softly here beating heart lulls me to sleep.

Cries break through the night. Outside the door starts to creak open. Quickly I race down the stairs, grabbing a kitchen knife, ready to defend myself. In my position to pounce, Steel walks through the door with two babies in his hands. Wide eyes stare at me and the babies start to tear up. "What is going on?" Steel questions. High pitched I screech "What is going on! I do not know Steel! What is going on?" Tears cloud my vision and I am tempted to just crawl back into bed and pull this off as just another dream. Steel calmly answers "I was at the hospital. It was supposed to be a surprise." Gently my eyes look at the children. These were our children. "How?" I ask barely containing my excitement. Steel does not put effort to hide his happiness "Nightingale. Her friend Michael used the samples from the hospital." Jumping to him I wrap my arms around his neck. Two children. Wow, I am a mother.

The little boy had brown hair and green eyes, and the little girl had blonde hair and blue eyes. Alias was the boy's name, but the girl was named Luna. Everything seemed to price together. I ad an amazing husband, a paying job, a dog, a home, and two beautiful children. Life was not perfect but it was just good enough.
