It was a dark, gloomy day at Maverick Hunter Base. Zero was sleeping in bed, holding his 6 year old son close to him. Lifesaver had told Zero that Zero Jr had 3 months to live...3 months ago. Everything was going bad for poor killed his lover 6 years ago, 3 years ago he had to put down Zero Jr's twin. All Zero has left now is Zero Jr and his older child Sakura, who was 17

*Cough* Zero Jr let out a blood filled cough. Zero held him in his chest, rubbing the back of Zero Jr's head.

"Shhhh...It's okay son..." Zero said to his little boy. Zero Jr kept coughing. Zero's heart ached and made him feel so bad about his family. Maybe if Iris were here, things would be a little better. Zero thought. It's a thought has been in the back of his head ever since she died.

"Da...D...Daddy...*Cough* I...I don't want to go..." Zero Jr said, obviously talking about him dying. Zero Jr looked up at Zero, revealing purple bags under his eyes. "Daddy, I'm scared..." He said, whimpering. Zero dropped a tear, knowing his child was in so much pain...he wishes he could put him out of his misery...but he can't because then another child's death will rest on his already horribly guilty conscious. Zero looked down and sighed, picking up the little guy. It was a real shame that Zero Jr's older sister couldn't be there so he can spend his last hours with the people he loves.

"Its okay Zero, daddy's here, It'll be all over soon." Zero said, rocking him. They stared into each other's eyes, Zero gazing into Zero Jr's dark purple eyes and Zero Jr looking into his father's big Sapphire eyes.

"Daddy." Zero Jr'scoughs were getting worse. "I'll be with Mommy soon..."

"Son..." Zero could feel Zero Jr getting weaker; soon Zero Jr would be dead...and to Zero's suprise didn't really make him cry. It made him more depressed. Zero looked at his son, tears dropping from his face. "I love you, buttercup...I lI've you so much...and..and I'll really, really miss you..such a sweet child...you've been a good boy all this time Mommy's been gone..I know you miss Mommy...I do too...but you'll be with her soon enough." Zero said, still rocking little Zero.

Zero Jr looked up as if to say I love you too. Zero Jr let out 3 large coughs, followed by a shake then he went limp.

Zero gasped. "Jr, Jr, Jr...AHH THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Zero fell to his knees, crying the most he'd ever cried. "FIRST YOU TAME MY GIRLFRIEND! THEN MY SON! NOW MY OTHER SON!? WHY SIGMA!? WASN'T IRIS ENOUGH!?" Zero punched the floor, wailing. "IRIS! ZACK! ZERO JR! WHY!?" Zero screamed. It was clear how much emotional damage Sigma and his virus had inflicted on Zero. All he wanted was a family with Iris...but that virus took them away. Zero cried and cried. Axl had Cinnamon, X had Alia, who had Zero for the past 6 years. A navigator that hit on him. Zero closed his eyes and cried. The pain killed him.

"I WANT MY DAMN FAMILY BACK!" Zero yelled.
