"She's beautiful"

"She looks just like you Caroline"

"You're one lucky girl, Caroline"

"Congratulations, on your baby Caroline"

Caroline thanked her visitors; she was rather pleased with the compliments she was receiving. She looked down at her baby girl and smiled at her. She was rather happy about having a baby, by looking at her child. It brings tears to her eyes. It gave her joy.

Too bad she had to give her away.

Caroline had no time to take care of her child, she had to work. Ever since Cave died; she was left responsible of Aperture and that will take up most of her time. At first she said no, but the staff kept pressuring her to say yes, she reluctantly did. She really wanted to keep her, but she couldn't. Caroline couldn't give her baby the attention she needed. Sure she will pop up once in a while, but that's all she can do.

Later, all her guests but one left. Caroline looked at her guest and then back at her child, her daughter was wrapped in a bundle of blankets she was sleeping soundly, and she had her mother's tan skin and her mother's beautiful brown hair.

Caroline looked back at her guest.

"Doug, promise me you will take care of my child"

Doug gave her a reassuring smile, "I promise, Caroline. You don't need to worry"

Doug was one of Caroline close friends, he was always by her side when she needs help. Always supporting her, always there when Cave wasn't around, Rumor has it that those two are in a relationship, but Cave would always dismiss it.

Caroline hesitated before handing her baby over to Doug; tears came out of her eyes. Soon enough she started to cry. She didn't want to do this; she didn't want to give her child up. But Caroline knew she's in good arms.

"Don't cry, Caroline. It's going to be alright"

Caroline sniffed, "Thank you, Doug"

"So, what are you going to name her?"

Caroline looked at her daughter one last time and smiled.

"Chell"


Link-Kara's Note: This is my very first story, This is my version of what happened to Chell and how she got adopted. I know that Chell is the daughter of a scientist. But I decide to twist it up alittle.

I apologize for any errors.
