Disclaimer: I don't own anything even remotely related to the Matrix. I don't get paid to write this story. All I get out of this is fun. So please don't sue me.

Author's note:This is my first Matrix related fanfic. I thought it would be cool if, by some miracle, Neo and Trinity had a kid. This type thing has probably been done before, but oh well. The story won't get out of my head. So please enjoy.

The hour was late. The moon had been blocked out long ago. The woman was lying motionless on the deck of the ship. A machine tore open the roof of the ship and looked inside. It spotted her. It reached in and began scanning her. It detected a faint signal of life coming from her abdomen. It gently picked the woman up and took her back to the city. She had been with child. She was now dead; however, the child wasn't.

When the machine arrived back at the city, it took the woman's body to a plant and handed it over to the medical technology. They proceeded to remove the child (still undeveloped) and insert it into a false womb. Soon it would be plugged in. The woman's body was soon disposed of.

Nikki jolted awake, drenched in sweat and gasping for breath. This made the fourth night in a row she had had the exact same dream. She had no idea what it meant. She had no idea who the woman was, or if she was. And she had certainly never seen any machinery like that before. The only thing that she was certain of was the fact that each time she had this dream it freaked her out even more.

She climbed out of her bed and went to her bathroom sink. She grabbed a wash cloth and turned on the cold water. After she had gotten rag wet, she rang out the excess water and proceeded to wipe down her tanned face and arms. These past few nights, she had taken to wearing a spaghetti-strap top and pajama shorts to bed, due to the fact that her air conditioner was acting up again.

At 21, Nikki should have been quite content with her life. She had graduated from college the year before, thanks to night classes as well as summer courses. She was enjoying her job as a graphic artist. She ran frequently and did yoga. As far as the world was concerned, her life was perfect. But to Nikki, something was never quite right. As if strange occurrences with her computer weren't enough, now she was having freaky dreams. Could these dreams have something to do with the Matrix (whatever the hell that is)? She wondered silently. After she had cooled off, she went back to bed and fell into a, thankfully, dreamless sleep.

Meanwhile, in the city of Zion, Morpheous woke up after dreaming the same dream. The only difference was he knew who the dead woman was. "Trinity." He whispered. Had it really been 21 years since the night that Neo and Trinity had died? Even though they had ended the war, the peace only lasted 10 years. At 60, Morpheous was alive longer than he had thought he would be. He was still in good shape too. He had to be. For the past 11 years he had continued to rescue people from the matrix.

Now he was having nightly dreams about Trinity. Was it possible that she had been with child before she had died? They hadn't been able to recover the body. Neo's body was also lost; the machines had told them that the body had disappeared shortly after he had died. According to them, he had just vanished. The only thing they had found was a computer chip marked with the words "For Morpheous". Morpheous had tried to use the program but all he found was an empty white room.

Morpheous got up went to see Link; the two men had become quite close. He knocked on Link's door; it was soon answered by a very tired looking man. "Morpheous, what's up?"

"Link, I need to run the program that Neo left behind."

"Come on Morpheous, you its going to do the exact same thing it always does."

Morpheous shook his head. "Not this time. I believe it will be different."

Link shrugged. "Whatever you say, but can it at least wait until tomorrow?"

Morpheous nodded. "Sure, get some sleep. This program has to be important or Neo wouldn't have left it."

"I believe you. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night, Link."

"Night, Morpheous."
