Disclaimer: I do not own District 9, and as for Tania and Wikus? They belong to their owners.
NOTE: Hullo, this is my first District 9 fanfiction and I have no idea where it is going, or what to do with it. I have no idea if I should continue after this chapter - I might, just depends on how many reviews I get.
I'm sure you're wondering why Wikus/Tania. I can tell you that this couple has great chemistry with each other, even if there were only a few scenes with them together. The way they both talk about one another just gives you that idea that they love each other VERY much, so yeah. Eh, I can't explain it, but whatever. Enjoy!
A year and a half, and he still hasn't come back. The only sign that she knew he was alive, were the hand-made aluminum flowers that he left in front of the door every morning. She knew it was from him, from her husband, because she knew no one else who had the ability to create such beautiful things from everyday rubbish that people tended to throw away. She chuckled at this thought. At least her husband is being enviromentally friendly.
But she had been thinking as of lately. What if he had broken his promise to her, and the metallic like flowers were a sign of saying sorry? No. Wikus wouldn't do that, he wouldn't. She knew he loved her. Yes he did. She knew he did. She always saw it in his eyes, and his smile.
She wiped a stray tear that fell from her eyes, and put golden strands of hair behind her ear. She continued to wipe the oncoming tears pouring from her eyes, and stood up from the master bed she had been sitting on; careful not to knock over her treasure chest where she kept all of Wickus' hand-made presents, and headed for the bathroom.
She looked up at the mirror with her tear stained face, and grabbing a nearby towel she wiped her ruined mascara off her facial skin, and looked up at the mirror again.
Lonely. That's how she felt, along with a mixture of other things such as depression and stress.
When they were married, she and Wikus - she thought that they would never be seperated, yet here they are, far away from each other. She saw something in him that other people didn't, even if his own mother thought he wasn't a very smart man; he is, but has a strange way of showing it.
She choked up a bit of laughter when she remembered Wikus grabbing her in anticipation from behind, and they they were laughing, and cleaning their teeth together with Listerine before laughing some more. They loved each other, that's what mattered.
She sighed as her hand hovered near her stomach, a bit shaky, before it dropped down to her side. She remembered about their baby, Aidan; that was to be the child's name - he passed away. Since then she and Wikus had been visiting orphanages, but now there was no point. Even if she found the right child she couldn't adopt; not without her husband's support and criticism to see if they're picking the right kid.
Her father had said that she forget about Wikus, as he left her to stay in District 10; to be with his kind. His kind? Wikus is human, and belongs with the human race. She had nothing against the aliens but it had her wondering about what if her husband had grown obsessed with the creatures? Is he in District 10, taking care of the rest of the aliens that had been left behind by the mothership? Providing them with cat food and other luxuries? If he is, which company is he working for? It's definitely not MNU. Why hasn't he come home yet? She didn't know, but she wanted to.
And her father? He can rot in MNU and it's filthy liars. All this time he had been telling her lies, all of them against Wikus had been telling her lies. Didn't he care about how is daughter felt? I guess not. But it didn't matter what her father thought, because she was going to find Wikus.
... Find Wikus? Is that the right thing to do?
It's been so long since they had seen each other, it couldn't hurt.
Putting the towel she had been holding back on it's rack, Tania prepared for her visit in District 10.
