Child of Mine

I gazed at the young child shivering in my arms and wondered at one what point she became mine. I had never wanted children before, and I wondered at what point I decided I did. Maybe when Maisie came along.

In some ways, Maisie reminded me of Owen. She was fearless, and, well, I loved her. I wouldn't be able to bear it if she was taken away from me.

In other ways, she reminded me of myself. She was a leader, and she loved dinosaurs more than anything, except her family.

In most ways, though, she was Maisie. Her own person, despite being a clone. Although it would most, I didn't care that Maisie was a clone. I loved her for her and Owen was the same.

When the authorities came, I protected Maisie the best I could, but I wasn't enough. I was not allowed to adopt her on my own, but with Owen, we were finally allowed to raise her.

We raised her as our own. We lived in the cabin that Owen insisted he built himself, however, when he fell off a ladder and broke his leg, he let me help. On the day it was finished, the three of us stood proudly outside our new home, Maisie holding a small black kitten we had given her for her birthday. She had named him Blue, owing to a small blue streak in his fur. Owen had smiled at that. The dinosaurs had been saved and put on an island with no volcano this time. I know Owen missed Blue sometimes, but the small kitten managed to close the hole blue had left him slightly.

We saw Karen, Gray and Zach every so often. At first, Karen had teased me about having a child, but she knew Maisie was everything I wanted and needed. She was my child.
