Y/N's POV

"I just don't understand why you didn't tell me when you first found out." Nines paced the bedroom, LED flashing red, I sat on the bed, resting a hand over my belly.
"I'm sorry, I was just nervous... I would've told you earlier." I say quietly.
"Who else knows?" Nines asked, sitting on the bed with me. I shake my head, "No one." I mumble, sniffling lightly.

Nines puts an arm around my back, pulling me closer to him. "You'll have to tell Hank, I can tell Fowler so you can take off work." He says, his thumb rubbing circles on my arm reassuringly.
"Megan is going to tell Connor then." I say, Nines nods and brings me into a full embrace, hugging me tightly.

I allow a tear to fall down my cheek as Nines' hand edges down to the bottom of my shirt, slowly slipping under it.
The skin on his hand disappears as he feels my lower stomach, humming curiously.
"Can you feel anything?" I ask, "No. Nothing at all, I'm just curious..." he trails off, his fingers grazing my skin.

I close my eyes and lean against him, his arm sliding around my waist and bringing me closer to him, pressing a kiss on my forehead.
"No matter what happens, I won't leave you... ok?" Nines says, looking down at me.
"I don't know if I can trust you on that, Nines." I say to him.
"You never know when something could just... happen to one of us." I tell him, "You're right, lets say... I'll never willingly leave..." he says and chuckles a bit, I laugh quietly, and then hear a knock on the door.

"Come in." Nines says, Megan slowly opens the door and Buddy pushes past her and jumps up onto the bed, circling a few times before laying down.
"What's wrong?" I ask Megan.
"Are you mad at me, mommy?" Megan asks me, holding her hands behind her back sheepishly.
"No. No I'm not." I hold out my arm and she climbs onto the bed and a I hug her.
As long as I had Megan, Nines and my dad, I felt like I could get through anything. I felt confident, like I was ready for what life would throw at me next.

Unknown POV

"I miss Katlyn, and Nick." Said Joana, she looked over at me while leaning on the table, "Casey, not so much."
I chuckle and look at her, "It was Katlyn's idea to strap a bomb to her chest, Nick and Casey went along with it." I say.
"They caused so much damage." Joana said, her green eyes staring into mine.
I nod, "They did, and they killed that android, I forgot his name." I say, even though I didn't, I knew his name, I will forever know his name.

Nines.

"Well, the thing is sir... he's not... he's alive. The android is alive."

I freeze for a brief moment, balling my hands into fists, "You're fucking lying. You damn liar..." I mutter dangerously under my breath.
Joana winces, seemingly afraid of me, "I wish I was lying sir." She mumbled.

"Dammit!" I scream, and grab the nearest object, a vase off the table, and throw it to the wall, fuming with rage.
Joana winces as the glass shatters, spreading all over the carpet.

"Clean that up," I snap, and storm out of the room, "I have to do something."

"Yes, Adam."
