Origins.

When he'd been growing up he'd always been told he was special, he'd been chosen. He was their special boy. As a kid it had made him feel wanted.

He'd been loved, and spoiled, his parents had given him the best of everything. Not only material things, he'd never lacked hugs, kisses or cuddles.

As he'd grown older he'd begun to ask questions. He'd wanted to know where he'd come from, who he was. His search was begun, and now it was finally at an end.

He'd been afraid and excited. Afraid at what he'd find, excited because he'd finally know.

Now he did know he wasn't sure how he felt. His mom wasn't an exotic beauty who'd loved him, but had been forced to give him up. She wasn't the fantasy perfect, yet tragic, figure he'd made her in his mind. She was a whore, a junkie, who'd died in a seedy motel room.

The fantasy had been beautiful, the reality was ugly.

At least his search was at an end. His questions, his hopes, his fears were at an end. He knew where he'd come from; it was time for Brian to find out where he was going.
