Hi. This is the 100 Theme Challenge by ribonsnlace on Deviantart.
I really like the Juliana/Noonien pairing, but don't see much of it anywhere, so here we are!
Some of them are sad, happy, and I want to try to encompass every aspect of their relationship
Hope you like it! If you do, leave a review! Thanks!

Introduction
Juliana grabbed Noonien's hand. They both had their eyes fixed on their creation- their child. Noonien gave a single nod of encouragement before he reached to the android's lower back and turned him on.
The machine's yellow eyes opened up. He looked at his two creators, who were both smiling huge. Juliana squeezed Noonien's hand, mixed feelings running through her.
"Lore?" Noonien asked, very gently touching the pale, synthetic flesh.
The android looked at his parents and smiled.
Instead of thinking about all that could go wrong, how the others before Lore had died, they thought about the smile on his face.
The brain they'd spend years laboring over was functioning.
Lore was smiling, he was happy.
Lore was alive!
"Lore," Juliana bent over her son, who was lying on a slab. "Can you say something?"
He opened his mouth. "A…ahhh…."
The two proud parents looked at each other and giggled. Not at their boy, of course, but at the very idea of him surviving, thriving! They could raise him to be an amazing man!
"We can work on that." Noonien said, referring to Lore's speech.
Juliana bent down and kissed her new son.
"We love you, Lore."
"L…L…"
"You can do it." Juliana whispered. Noonien wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulders. "You can do anything, Lore."
"L...lo...Lorrreee!" A sloppy pronunciation of his name, but it was better than any of the previous androids had done.
Juliana laughed, and reached back to run her fingers through Noonien's hair.
"We've done it." He said, overjoyed. "By god, Juliana, we've done it."
Lore sat up, the big smile still on his face.
"Lore!" He pointed to himself.
"Yes!" Noonien released his wife. "Yes, yes, yes, yes!" Noonien leaped into the air. Lore watched in fascination.
Juliana took one of the android's hands into her own. There were tears in her eyes.
Finally, after all this work, after all this waiting, Juliana Soong had a family.
