Chapter 1

2018

"So when's the special day?" I sat on one of the helicopters with my "expecting" friend Belle. I laid my hand on her firm and round stomach.

"I don't know. Your mom said somewhere between two and four weeks. You know what they say, stress can bring the baby on early." Belle sighed. She's only eighteen and one of the most beautiful girls I've met. Long black hair, fair white skin lightly freckled, and lips as red of a rose. While I'm only sixteen and my my hair is naturally wavy so it's always tangled, my face is usually always covered in dirt or mud, and I'm normally covered in cuts and bruises. My long auburn hair was currently being controlled in a pony tail.

"Eric's going to be ok Belle. They'll be home soon." I reassured her. She smiled. Most of our guys were out on a search trip. Rumors of new Terminators are going around. My dad's with them and my best friends Aidan and Matt.

"I hope so. I don't want to raise this baby without a father."

"Breathe sweety, they'll be back." I jumped of the copter and offered my hands to Belle to help her down. We walked into the medical ward where my mother was reading.

"Something wrong?" she asked putting her book down.

"No mom, Belles fine, heard anything from dad?"

"Oh yes, they're on their way back now."

"Did they find anything?"

"Sadly no. The upside is they're coming home but the downside is that they left on a rumor." she got a little mad and rubbed her pregnant belly.

"Relax mom, it's better if your baby doesn't come before Belles. You still have nine weeks." I smiled. She smiled back and brushed her hair back.

"I know. I'm just nervous. Your father's heart transplant was five weeks ago and he keeps saying he's better, but I think he's just being stubborn."

"Well that's the man you married I'm afraid." I grinned. Suddenly I heard choppers. "Speaking of dad." Belle almost took off running.

"Wow she moves fast." My mom said getting out of her chair. We met Matt's girlfriend Jane on the way to the hangers. Belle had already found Eric and was squeezing the life out of him. Jane ran for Matt who just stepped out. Matt is twenty years old. Very tall, with short and scruffy dirty blond hair. Next out was Aidan. I've known him since we were kids. He's two years older then me. He lost his parents when he was seven. I met him when I was seven and he was nine. He was tall, about six one, short black hair and the brightest blue eyes. I ran up and hugged him.

"Long time stranger." I joked.

"It's only been twelve hours Lucy." he groaned lightly. I pulled back.

"What?" I pulled up his shirt and his right side was bruised. "What happened?"

"I... fell." he muttered. I tried not to laugh.

"Off of what?" I asked. Still trying not to laugh.

" A ledge." my father stepped out of the copter with Marcus.

"What ledge?" I asked.

"There was a wrecked building and well Aidan just proved he's a bit clumsy." snickered Marcus. I could tell my dad was also trying not to laugh. Aidan glared at Marcus, which only made him laugh harder.

"Well apart from that. We found nothing, which I guess has it's ups and downs. Where's your mother?" my dad asked.

"Proving that Belles a faster pregnant girl." I turned around and my mom walked up and kissed my dad.

"Well that girl astounds me by how fast she runs." she laughed. I looked over at the copter as another man came out. I didn't recognize him. He looked to be about nineteen. Over six feet, short blond hair, blue eyes and very muscular.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"That's Luke. We found him on the high way." said Marcus. Luke looked over at me and we met eyes. He smiled slightly and walked over.

"Is this your daughter Mr. Connor?" he asked.

"Yes, Lucy this is Luke." I reached out my hand and we shook.

"Nice to meet you Lucy." he smiled.

"Nice to meet you. Do you want to come eat with Aidan and me?" I asked. Aidan looked like he was about to say something, but I gave him a swift elbow to the stomach and he nodded in pain. I already forgot he had a bruise the size of a cat.

"Sure, that sounds nice."

"Cool." I grinned.

"Ya, cool." choked Aidan. We left my parents and Marcus to discuss who knows what and we walked to the "cafeteria". The variety sucks, but it's better then starving. We just grabbed a sandwich each and went outside.

"So Luke, tell me a little about yourself." I asked.

"Not much to tell really. I was born in 1999. I have a little brother who is who knows where and he's seventeen. My mother was killed in 2006 and my father was killed in 2013 and I got separated from my brother two years ago. I've been trying to find him ever since." he sighed.

"Do you even think he's still alive?" asked Aidan. I smacked him on the back of the head for that.

"You don't have to hit him for that." laughed Luke. "I have had that thought go through my mind. I just need to know either way."

"I'm sure you'll find out."

"Lucy!" I shot up and Eric was yelling for me. " Belle's in labor!"

"Holy crap!" I shouted. "Sorry boys, got to go."

"Can I come?" asked Aidan.

"Of course, you can come to Luke." we took off for the medical ward. Belle was up on the table screaming and what looked to be breaking Eric's hand. Her hair was soaked from the sweat and her face was about a red as a tomato.

"Ok Belle, your doing great. Just push." directed my mother. I ran to Belle's side as she screamed. Watching by the door was Aidan, Luke, Matt, and Jane.

"Come on Belle. You can do this." I held her hand and fought through the pain of her sneezing it.

"It hurts." she cried.

"You can do this sweetheart. You've been my rock baby and I know you can do this." said Eric as he rubbed her head.

"I love you." she cried. He kissed her forehead.

"I love you to, and afterwards when you feel up to it, will you marry me?" he asked. Belle looked up and him and smiled.

"Ya." she whispered. The couple kissed. I couldn't help but smile. In this time, each second is precious, because you never know when it could be your last.

"Ok Belle, your almost there. Just one more push." encouraged my mother. Belle screamed at the top of her lungs and pushed. Then the next screaming we heard was her baby. My mother wrapped my baby in a blanket.

"It's a boy." my mom was now crying. She handed me the baby and I gave him to Belle who was now hysterical. I took a step back and marveled at the new family. My dad walked in and kissed my mom.

"Great job dear and congratulations to the both of you."

"Thank you sir." thanked Eric who was now in tears. Which isn't easily seen since he's a big man in his early twenties.

"What are you going to name him?" I asked.

"His first name is going to be William, after my father, and his middle name is going to be James, after Belles father." said Eric. I smiled and kissed Belle on the forehead and Eric on the cheek.

"Congratulations." I smiled and walked out.

"You ok?" I turned to see Aidan, Matt, and Luke with concerned faces.

"Oh ya, I just need a minute." I turned around and started walking. Since Judgment day, the small things we take for granted becomes most important. The small things in life. The miracle of child birth takes a whole new scale of beauty and for some reason it always hits me hard when I watch it.

I walked outside and crawled into one of the old helicopters that no longer works. I am not John and Kate Connors daughter. I am not related to them in anyway. I was born in the year 2002, one year before judgment day, to Michael and Charlotte Reid. In the year 2006 they were killed by a terminator right in front of me. I was only four. John and Kate found me and took me in as their daughter. Now they're about to have a baby. A baby that's really theirs. Where does that leave me? That's probably why I get very emotional after seeing a baby being born. Because I have no memory of the woman that gave birth to me.
