"Are you sure you should be posting that?" A hand appeared on his shoulder, causing him to nearly fall out of his chair.

"God, Lisa, what the hell?" He swatted her hand away, chuckling nervously. "Don't scare me like that."

"Sorry," She sighed, looking back at the computer monitor. "'The Devil's Bargain'," She read aloud. "'How Murkoff Turned the Global Water Crisis into a Billion Dollar Revenue Stream'." She gave Miles a sideways look. "Quite a mouthful, don't you think?"

"Oh, shut up," He rolled his eyes, turning his chair back to the monitor. He was just about finished editing it before being interrupted.

Murkoff was a big-shot company that was well known for its' exploitation of the less fortunate, but because they targeted foreign countries and territories, it was difficult for the U.S. to get involved. Recently, they had reopened an asylum on American soil, Mount Massive, and have been conducting what most would call unethical actions. Miles had gotten wind of these issues from an old family friend, Mrs. Hope, who'd filed a lawsuit against the company back in 2009 for not updating her on her son's status, whom she had committed earlier that year.

He hadn't accumulated enough data on the asylum to do any damage to the company, but this article would at least halt their actions to a degree. It might give him the advantage he needed over them- to get them to slip up. The least it would do is bring attention to the company, which would have been a victory in its' own right.

"Hey," A voice pulled him out of his thoughts. Massaging his shoulders, Lisa chimed. "We still haven't come up with a name for the baby." He turned around, giving her confused look.

"Really? You bring this up now of all times?"

"If you do, I'll let you post that article" He stared at her, dumbfounded.

"I'd still post it anywa-" She placed her finger on the 'delete' key

"Hey,- wait!" He flailed about, eyes wide. "You win, you win!- just-" She laughed at his expense, before removing her hand and sitting on his lap. "You're such a dick," he pouted.

"That's ironic" She smiled, cupping her belly. "Here," she guided his hands onto her own. "You can feel em' kicking"

He was still amazed that he had kids to begin with. When they were younger, he always joked about how he'd never have kids, and it would be just the two of them forever and ever, and they'd die an old angry couple and share a coffin together. Now he couldn't imagine life without them. Funny how life never goes the way you planned it would.

He felt a nudge and gave a warm smile. "Hey there, sweetheart," He cooed, placing his cheek against Lisa's belly. "You're going to kick ass when you grow up" He smiled when he got a flick to the forehead.

"Don't curse to the kids!" Lisa hissed, before flicking him again.

"He can't even understand what we're saying!" Miles responded, finding the idea ridiculous.

"She," Lisa corrected.

"You took the test without me?" He furrowed his brow, feigning hurt.

"I was going to surprise you, but you were so focused on this damn article!" She flicked him again. Hard.

"Ow!" He blocked another barrage of flicks. "You're so immature!" He laughed, sitting up. "How about Abigal?"

"Too old"

"Ophelia?"

"What the hell? This isn't some medieval bullshit, Miles." She moved in to flick him again before he grabbed her wrist, slightly annoyed. She just contradicted herself about the 'cursing in front of kids', but he wasn't about to bring that up.

"You throw out some ideas, then"

"I don't know, how about Lisa 2.0?" She smiled at the thought.

"Wow, that's so shallow" Miles laughed out loud.

"Better than your ideas," She retorted.

"You're joking, right?" He scoffed. After a moment of thought, he spoke up again. "How about Faith?"

Lisa gave a moment of pause, too. Then she smiled. "Faith" She repeated. "It has a nice ring to it." She looked Miles in the eyes, speaking in a commanding voice. "Alright, you're good for now, but that doesn't mean we're done picking names, you hear?" Miles groaned in response. "I still don't think you should post that article though" She got up and headed to their bedroom.

It wasn't hard to understand why she'd be against it. Mile's articles have taken down at least 2 other major corporations, and each have caused them some sort of unwanted side-effects. One time, they'd gotten spam mail with viruses attached to them on every email they had, and it prevented Lisa and him from doing their Jobs for almost half a year. They almost had to sell their house before the cops got to the bottom of it.

His hand hovered over the 'post' button. It's not like anything worse than that could happen, right? He closed his eyes and clicked send before heading off to bed with Lisa.

July 12th, 2013

It'd been a long day, and Miles had just gotten home from an interview. He'd just ran into the nanny as she took her leave, informing him that Nadia and Jake were fast asleep. Lisa would be home soon, and he'd decided on freshening up before she got home. He thought he'd surprise her with a gift, today being her birthday and all. He placed a bouquet and a box of chocolates on the counter before heading off to the showers.

It wasn't long after he turned on the showerheads when he heard shuffling in the other hallway. Maybe the kids weren't asleep after all. A clank and a door opening followed, causing Miles to smile. Guess Lisa's home, too. She usually gets home earlier, and he'd wanted to set up a little more before surprising her. Surprise ruined, He sighed.

"Mommy?" He could decipher part of the conversation through the noise from the showerhead. Nadia had probably woken up from the sound of the water starting. Miles silently cursed himself for his carelessness.

"Where's daddy?" Jake woke up, too.

"Miles?" Another voice replied. Lisa. He thought he heard some urgency tangled in with his name, but brushed it off.

"I'm in the shower!" He shouted back, anticipating the response.

"Miles!?" Lisa's voice wasn't getting any closer, but it was picking up in intensity. Something was off. Something felt wrong. Just then, he swore he heard crying. Then a shriek. Glass breaking. Something was definitely wrong.

He turned off the shower and immediately threw on some clothes before bolting out of the room and down the stairway. "Lisa!" He called out, dashing through the house before arriving at the living room.

A/N: Another chapter cut... Mile's story is probably the only one that I'm giving out at one time, lol. It's hard to describe and embody what's happening. Anyway, thanks for reading.
