It was Bain he shut the door quietly and walked over. He knelt down in front of me.
"You okay?" He asked softly. I nodded.
"So you seen that?" I asked.
"Ya that guys pretty nasty. I mean how can someone be so cruel to the mother of their child or to a woman. If it makes you feel any better I chased him down the hall and tackled him down the stairs." He replied. I laughed.
"You didn't." I teased when he pulled out some keys.
"Oh yes I did I even got his house keys guess who's sleep on a park bench tonight." He joked. I busted out laughing.
"Your crazy but your awesome I appreciate it." I said, he chucked.
"Hey no one talks to a woman like that around me I'm against that." He said, wiping my face, and lifting me up.
"Now you sit back I'm gonna make you something." He said, walking to the kitchen area.
"I'm fine." I said, when my stomach growled.
"Bullshit." He laughed. Pulling out ingredients. When I noticed a bunch of baby stuff in the corner.
"My sister was pregnant it was a girl. No man in the picture so decided to give her a helping hand. She didn't even have a job she was really young so she moved in with me. She was seven months pregnant when she got hit by a car. She died on impact so did my niece. I was off on duty when it happened I've blamed myself ever sense for not being there. That's why I helped you." He exclaimed when I walked up behind him and hugged him.
"It's not your fault it was a freak accident. My mother died giving birth to me. My father blamed me for it." I said, he squeezed my hand.
"That wasn't your fault." He said, marinating some meat.
"Just like your sisters death wasn't your fault." I said, he stopped.
He hugged me. He refused to show his face but I knew he was crying. I petted the back of his head to comfort him. Moments later when he calmed down. I wiped his face.
"Sorry you had to see that I don't like showing my weak side." He said, looking up at me sitting down on a chair.
"It's fine we all have our weakness. No ones perfect. Heck look at me I let people walk all over and I always make bad decisions." I said, he smiled softly.
"No you don't. Your heart just in the right place and your a good person." He replied pointing to my chest. I smiled. His smile was so warm and gentle. He got up and kissed my forehead. Then he started cooking again.
"If your so sweet why do you live alone?" I asked.
"Just haven't met the right one. I only want to get married once." He exclaimed.
"Same here that's why I refuse to marry the father. He's not serious about being a good father. I mean at this point I don't even care if he hates me just as long as he's a good loving father to our daughter I don't want her growing up like him cold and heartless." I replied.
"Ya well I'm here when ever you need me. I've taken quite a liking to you. Plus I don't want you raising her alone." He said dipping out plates. He walked over and handed me a plate. As soon as I took a bite I smiled.
"That's amazing." I blurted. He laughed.
"Why thank you I taught myself." He said, sitting down and eating. I ate it.
"So what exactly do you do?" He asked, I set my plate down and put my hands together making electricity come off them.
"Holy... How did you do that?" He asked after finishing his plate.
"Genetic bio engineering. Which in my case led to this." I said, making my wings come out.
"I'm a dragon. Only because I tested my own experiments on myself before I did it to anyone else." I exclaimed.
"So you've done this to other people?" He asked.
"Well I tested it on myself first and they did it to themselves. Mark and David both did it. I tried to stop them but I was powerless to do so." I said, looking down.
"Ya well there's only one real way to stop a monster it's with a bigger one. Their just scientist they don't know how to fight." He said taking our plates to the sink.
"Are you volunteering?" I asked.
"I don't know you tell me I'm a specially trained marine I would make a heck of a lot better guinea pig then them. Plus it will make it a hell of a lot easier for me to protect my woman. So what do you say." He snickered.
"You got yourself a deal." I smiled. I gave him all kinds of injections. But when we found my fuse machine it was all broken the men tried putting it back together and ruined it and killed pretty much all my test subjects. I fell to my knees picking up the pieces.
"They ruined my life's work how can they do that and they killed all my babies I raised all of them myself. Years of research just ruined." I cried holding a dead lizard in my hands hugging it. He walked up and put his hand on my shoulder.
"They'll pay for what they've done I promise you that." He said, when I dropped the dead lizard when I seen something moving in debris I lifted up a metal plates and found one of my large black spiked lizards. I named him Ash his skin was armor plated. He was my second test subjects. He ran over to me when he realized who I was he ran up laing his head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around him tightly. He snuggled up against me when I realized why he had his head on my shoulder. Bain was rubbing under his chin. He loved it he was rubbing his head all over his hand. I handed him to him and he wrapped himself around his neck. He nuzzled up to him. Then he started picking up all the pieces of the broken machine he put them in a box.
"It's broken." I said.
"So anything that's broken can be fixed." He smiled. I helped him. When we were done we gave the dead test subjects a proper barrel. I laid flowers down on them. I held his hand and laid my head on his shoulder. Then we walked back to my apartment. We walked in I gave Ash his injections. I grabbed my tool box. He held it together while I mended and put the pieces back together.
"Not to bad." I said, opening the door.
I plugged it in it worked fine.
"So is it okay?" He asked.
"Yes perfect." I smiled giving him a high five.

"Now get in take Ash with you." I said, he walked in when I turned on the machine. He fell to the ground. Moments later when it was finished I opened the door. He crawled out.
"Now it's gonna hurt for a minute but just bare with it." I said, giving him an injection. Then he stood up he sat in a chair.
"You know we're going to have to hide the machine right." He replied trying to catch his breath. I gave him some water and tried pushing.
"No no no no stop it your going to hurt yourself. Your with child that's bad for the baby." He said, putting the cup down and taking off his shirt. My jaw dropped. Even though he was drenched in sweat I couldn't stop staring.
"What you acted like you've never seen a man shirtless before." He teased laughing.
"Damn." I blurted. He just laughed and pushed the machine into the coset for me. Then he picked me up. We fell into the bed. I laughed. He wrapped his arms around me and we fell asleep.
