[muse_playground] November Prompt
153. This is what I thought, I thought you'd need me
This is what I thought, so think me naive
I'd promise you a heart, you'd promise to keep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
- Prelude 12/21 from AFI
In the beginning with Rachel I can honestly say, and I have already told her this, that the things I said were things said I thought she wanted to hear. We were taught to lie and lie well. I was good at it and I know Rachel was falling for it. Then came the time where I began meaning my words and knew I shouldn't. I knew my handlers and Manticore would never allow me to continue seeing her. To them she was a liability, one that made me weak. Maybe it was my fault they decided to kill her too. Maybe if I didn't fall in love with her they would have overlooked her.
I know now Rachel needs me and it's more then wanting me around. We have two children we adopted, Piotr and Hope. Then there is the fact Rachel is pregnant with my child. It's still surreal because I never thought I'd be having a baby with someone I loved. Maybe a breeding partner knocked up but never one of my own accord. I'm going to keep our baby safe, no one will think to mess with him or her. I'm the same way with Piotr and Hope. If I am lucky our baby will be born without a barcode.
Rachel has my heart, it's hers to keep. I promised her no other woman would have it as long as we both lived. I meant it.
