A/N after looking at this story again irealised how many mistakes were in it so i went back and fixed it hopefully it reads a lot better
I heard a word the other day, content, and it made me wonder if I was content. I look back on my life and it has been hard. Granted I am a genetically engineered killing machine on the run. I lost people that I loved, but I also found people that I love.
My first love, Logan, died in a horrible accident that would not have happened if he had not of known me. I will always love him, but after getting the cure to the virus, I realised that I loved Logan but was not in love with him. He accepted that and I believe that he felt the same way but he never did say. Logan did move on and had a few happy years with Asha, who he had fallen desperately in love with. Everyone saw it coming there was so much chemistry between the two, (both having save the world complexes). When they finally did get together they had a child, whom they named her after his mother.
I found my mate, it was inevitable, I went into heat, he smelt the pheromones I produce while in heat and Alec being an alpha male, had to have me and I had to have him. He kissed me senseless right in front of everyone at Crash, took me back to his place and claimed me for himself, and I claimed him much to his surprise. I loved him; I had been in denial, for a long time. (Don't they say you hurt the ones you love the most?) We have been inseparable since then.
Alec and I now have two beautiful children. They are my world, Jack and Eva. They are twins thanks to our feline DNA. Eva is just like me, independent, and gets what she wants - sometimes with a little physical violence. Jack is just like his father; laid back and fun loving. They are like us, X-5, but thank the Blue Lady, they don't have barcodes. Though we are training them to be all that they can be, so if they do get cornered, they can protect themselves.
I suppose it is for them that we do what we do. I know it is. We now run Eyes Only. No one knows that he died; they think that he just went off the air for a couple of months like he did back in '20. Alec and I figured that with our skills we could make a difference. Also there's the fact that stealing from criminals isn't all that bad, I mean they don't need the money where they are going.
We live on the rich side of town now and why not? It is all for our kids. They deserve a better childhood than we had. While I still resent Manticore, I believe that it has made me the person I am today. In some ways I am grateful, but I would never admit that to Lydecker.
Content, I think I am. I have everything now, a family and a semi normal life, as normal as a transgenic's life can get. Even though it is still a broken world and there are still injustices out there, I'm content with what I have done in life. I once heard the saying: 'Contentment is not the fulfilment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have.' It is so true.
The End.
