A/n this was inspired by "Paradise," and Reid's comment to JJ that he preferred Mozart

I hear that strange sound again. I think it's what the other sounds I hear outside, call music. I like it a lot. I wish that I could hear it all the time, but it won't last. When the sound is over, I kick out hard. That's the only way to make the wet around me move and rock. I like it when I'm rocking gently in this dark place. The dark is comforting, but not as good as the music thing. I kick again and I hear more sounds. Someone is doing what I have heard called talking. It is the sound of the one that carries me around in the wet.

The sound of the one is high to me. I think it is female. Am I female or am I male. I think I am male because the one said that's what she wants. I kick again and the one says, "Be still little one, mommy and daddy love you."

So, the one is something called a mommy… What is a daddy? What is love? I don't know, but I like the wet, and the warmth, and the dark. The rocking begins and I sleep. Soon I will hear the music again, and the voice of the mommy. I want to stay here forever!
