June 6, 2515
Isaac looked at the clock a foot from his head; it was just after one in the morning something had woken him up. He looked beside him and there she was Ellie sleeping like a baby. The engineer and his pilot wife lived on board of the Gaia Space Station located near Alpha Centauri; it was independent from EarthGov so the two survivors of the Titan Station had lived here in complete peace since then. Plus there was no Unitology presence here. Most were secular or agnostic.
Both had gotten married a year since arriving and a year after marrying Eric Paul Clarke came into their lives on June 4, 2512.
For the first time in many years Isaac was happy.
He heard the noise again coming outside the master bedroom; it could be a Necromorph attack though he would know in advance the first signs of a Necromorph outbreak were obvious but it was quiet on the station.
The door slid and his eyes looked for any signs of an intruder, it was dark. He heard the noise once again coming from Eric's room. He hurriedly opened the door finding his three-year-old son carefully position his stuffed animals near his bed.
''Buddy, its one in the morning, you should be asleep,'' Isaac said.
The little guy looked at this father, it was remarkable how much the child looked like his mother but with his father's sparkling blue eyes that held such innocence.
''I had a dweam daddy, monsters came too to get me,'' He said in a small voice.
He knew what the boy did position the toys near the entrance so whatever tried to enter would make noise; children have done this for centuries.
The engineer knelt down to the boy's level taking him into his arms rubbing his back.
''Son, there is no such thing as monsters,' Isaac said but he knew that was a lie, monsters were very real he´s fought them in the past these undead creatures known as Necromorphs.
Eric looked into his father's eyes. He sounded so truthful.
''Really?'' he replied.
Isaac nodded.
The little boy hugged his father real quick and slipped back into bed.
''Wuv you, daddy.'' The boy said.
Isaac smiled.
''I love you too, pal.''
He turned off the lights and left.
