Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own the Dexter franchise, which includes the AMAZZZING show and the books, eventhough I wish I did, the real credit goes to Jeff Lindsay, but I do own the concept of this storyline.
Authors Note: This fanfiction takes place in the deep depths of Dexter Morgans mind, the place that holds his most darkest secrets, so I thought it would be interesting to get down deep inside his mind and see how he views himself as a father and brother.
Random Note: If you enjoy my fanfiction I would be EVER SO GREATFUL if you dropped a review :) Critic reviews are ALWAYS helpful, but my favorite are LOVE reviews :) All are welcome :P
Summary: Dexter Morgan evaluates himself as a Father and Brother.
Monster!
Is it possible for a monster to be a good father? Is it possible for that same monster to be a good, trustworthy brother? When I ask myself all these lingering questions one word comes to mind...Killer. Someone wise once told me the secret to life, Never reveal your true self to those you love. I tend to think Im a very neat monster, So I find the chances slim to none.
Well, that was until Lumen walked into my life. As a father I strive for the best interest of my son, but as a Brother I strive for the moment Deb see's the real me. The moment she realizes Im the man shes been tracking all these years. Eventhough I straggle between that fine line I find myself coming closer to the moment I dread the most. Will I have to teach my son the tricks of the trade?
Is he stuck with the gene my father passed down to me? The same gene that got his mother killed is the same one I fear he will have to overcome. Will I have to kill my sister? No, I could never kill Deb...maybe I could convince her to understand,but as nice as that sounds I know my sister and I know the reality of my problems. Theres no way in hell Im taking her down with me.
I have this feeling deep down in my gut that keeps aching to get out. My sons first words were Die die. Have I really set up his fate for him? Worst comes to worst I teach him everything I know...all the things my father taught me. The best part is.. when Im dead and gone he will carry on my work.
NO! Dexter pull yourself together, you dont want that for you son! No, Harrison will be stronger than me, he will be able to fight the temptation. Only time will tell, but maybe I can push the limit just a little longer.
