My eyes could barley adjust to the bright lighting of what I knew to be the infirmary, the rather comfortable bed being a bonus. Leslie, the head nurse, was eyeing me from above as if she had so many questions to ask me, yet was afraid to.

"Hey honey. I rarely see you in here. But, it's a good thing Dr. Brenner decided to bring you to me." She had been analyzing blood work I could tell they had done while I was asleep, noting the bandage on my arm covering it.

"What happened....?" I groggily said between slight panic from the mere mention of Papa. Why would he feel the need to bring me to Leslie? I just needed some rest. And where was Henry.....?

"Well..... sweetheart. I don't want to scare you. And I don't want you stressing yourself out in your condition." My condition.....? I slowly started to rise from out of the bed to get a closer look at what they had been doing, until Papa entered the room with such a smile on his lips, one that set me on edge more than anything.

"Hello 007. How are you feeling?" He said while softly sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes searching mine for any answer he could. He knew something, they both did. And I was extremely worried.

"What's going on Papa? Is something wrong with me?" I said in such a panic, my heart suddenly racing in fear. I couldn't lay down any longer, fully sitting up to be eye level with him. And at the same time, I only wanted to know where Henry was.

"No. In fact, I have some news." I looked between Leslie and Papa in question, scared beyond belief.

"You're pregnant honey." My eyes widened in complete shock, not expecting that to be the news what so ever. And judging by Papa's face? He'd found out by who.

"Now this is good. With your abilities and 001's, your child will be incredible. Extraordinary even." And in that moment, I felt rather protective of my unborn child. I knew Papa would take them and use them for his own agenda. And I didn't want that happening.

"Papa..... please tell me 001 is okay." His smile never faltered from my words, rising from the bed while fixing his suit to look professional.

"He will be." Was all he said before exiting the room just as fast as he came, leaving me terrified for Henry. He'd done something to him as a result of the news. And it felt like it was all my fault.

"001 will be fine sweetheart. He was here while you were asleep when we found out. But...... Dr. Brenner took him away." I knew what that meant. I knew that meant he inflicted pain on him more than usual. And he couldn't defend himself. It made me sick. Literally, doubling over and throwing up all over the ground below. Wiping my mouth of it, I could only think of Henry. I had to see him. I just had to.

(3 hours later)
With all the training I had given myself on unlocking doors, it only took me a minute to get mine open after they had locked it upon arrival, never having gotten caught doing so. I had become a natural at it.

"Henry?" I had said within my mind, hoping he would answer. But to no avail. I deeply sighed into the rather quiet air around me in the hallways of the lab, getting closer and closer to his room in utter dread of what he'd say. Was he mad at me? I never in a million years thought this would happen. We were always careful. Except...... one single time we couldn't contain it. Shit......

"Please don't be mad at me." I said in such a pitiful tone to him and only him, reaching his room in an instant from how close we were. Sitting on the bed, was Henry himself. He looked...... so out of it. Papa had done damage, more than I could ever realize.

"Henry.....?" I softly said once I got his door open, eyeing him in full concern. I simply sat next to him with my eyes never wavering from his forlorn face, his rather illuminated blue eyes training solely on the floor. Until he finally registered I was there in person. Finally, he looked to me with absolutely no emotion showing. And it scared me to no end.

"I'm scared to, Hen..... so scared. Papa? He's already making plans for our baby. And they're no bigger than a pea right now." Suddenly, he took my trembling hands in his to calm me down once he saw just how troubled I really was over this whole situation, finally looking at me rather than through me.

"Our baby? Is going to be unlike anyone or anything their small minds have ever seen. They will never fully grasp just what this means. But I promise you, you will be okay. Our baby will be okay." I leaned my forehead against his in such a loving manner, his reaction more than what I was hoping for. I was so afraid he'd reject the mere idea of us having a child. But my fear still utterly consumed me for our unborn child. And what growing up in the lab meant for them.

(The Next Day)
I awoke to find myself alone in Henry's bed, laying gently on his pillow with the covers over me. My eyes slowly adjusted to the brightness of the room to see he was nowhere in sight, meaning he must be on duty. I knew I had such little time until I was to be. So i willed myself out of bed, stretching slightly and rubbing my eyes to wake myself up more.

"Good morning sleepyhead." Henry suddenly said from the doorway, thankful no one was walking the halls at the moment. I softly smiled at him, walking towards him to place a soft kiss to his lips. I knew any bliss wasn't true, not for us. Nor would it ever be. But I treasured every single moment we had together. Even if it was fleeting.

"Good morning sunshine. Anything happen yet?" I said with such dread in my tone, afraid of what his answer would be. But he merely smiled, not seeming to be in destress or anything for that matter. He was eerily..... happy.

"No. Nothing at all. I wanted to come check on you. I let you sleep in so you'd get some rest. How are you feeling?" His arms suddenly wrapped around my waist in such a soft manner, bringing me closer to him with our lips mere inches apart.

"Actually? Not bad. My stomach has settled. Thank you for looking after me." Without a second thought, he kissed me as if the thought of being caught was out the window. Everyone knew already about us, clearly.

"That's what I intend to do." I knew the next 9 months would be full of ups and downs. But I'd do anything to protect this baby. Anything.
