Chapter 4: Hard Decisions
I lay beside Roger silent but awake on the huge king sized bed. The bed was covered in black
sheets because that was all that he would accept. We had just retired for the night but I can't seem to get
any sleep. I stay still so I don't disturb Roger. I tilt my head a little to steal a peak at his babyface. To my
surprise his eyes were staring back at me. " Why aren't you sleep?," he asked. I frown at his remark. " Why
aren't you?," I retort. He chuckled a bit. " Because I knew you were still up," he said. Instead of calming
down at his answer it made me more upset. " So, are you a human mood ring?," I asked. He chuckled more
at my anger towards him.
" I'm sorry if I've done anything to upset you Ms. Waynewright," he said. I stared deeply into his
coal black pools finally letting my anger subside. " I'm sorry Roger. I don't know what's wrong with me
anymore. It's like my emotions and body is all twisted around," I confess. He nods in understanding wrapping
his arms around my still slender frame. " I know. Pregnancy will do that to you. I bet you'll be glad when they
finally get out of there," he said poking my stomach. I smile at him. " You have no idea," I said. I relaxed
in his arms as we layed in a comfortable silence.
I could live like this forever. I don't need marriage to know that I love Roger. No piece of paper
will ever tell me that. My happy thought was interrupted when an image of Angel came into my brain. That
tramp could ruin everything I have achieved. I wouldn't let her. I can still beat the bitch down pregnant or not.
" Roger, what did Angel want?," I asked breaking the silence. " Nothing much. She just wanted me to see her
boss tomorrow," he said. " Will you go?," I asked. I turn my head slightly so I could see his face. " I'm gonna
have to. She's still a client no matter what our past history may be. Besides, I never like to dissapoint," he
said with a cocky smile appearing on his lips.
I frown again. " I don't trust her," I said. " Neither do I. She always leads to trouble. She's like a
walking She-Devil," he said. " A beautiful She-Devil," I add. Now it was his turn to frown. " What are you
getting at?," he asked. I sigh turning away from his gaze. " Nothing. Forget I said it," I said. " You're worried
I'll leave you," he said. " Am not," I protested. I cringe at how childish my voice sounds. " Are to," he retorted.
I sigh again. " I mean, it's not like it would be the first time she swooned you with her beauty," I said. He
chuckled. " I'm a little dissapointed in you Dorothy. I thought you of all people would know something so simple," he
said. " Simple as what?," I asked.
I turn to face him noting the amusement hiding in his gaze. " I'll explain like this, I am a millionare and
by being so I make investments. Wise ones. You are my investment Dorothy. I have invested my love, time, and
affection in you and I don't plan to let Angel or any other bimbo get in the way of that," he said. I blush smiling
at my handsome lover. " Still a sweet talker," I said. He leaned over to me until our faces were centimeters apart.
" Don't ever forget it," he said kissing me deeply. Passion flows through me from my head to my toes. Our kisses
began to become more urgent. More hungry. When I noticed this I stopped him. " We can't," I said. He smiled as
he began to slip his hand under my nightgown. " We can," he retorts.
I feel his fingertips on my stomach making me tingle. " How do you know?," I asked trying to resist the
urge to moan. " I asked Trista. It won't bother them," he said. He layed me back climbing on top of me. " Are you
sure?," I asked one last time. " Yes," he said shushing any further objections with his mouth covering mine.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I walk up the steps of the huge establishment. Usually I would take the elevator but I took the more
atheletic approch in attemps to wake my body up. I was a bit drowsy and sleepy since I didn't get too much sleep
last night. When I reach the top of the thousands of steps, I wipe the sweat off of my brow with my handkerchief.
I stayed there until my breathing returned to it's regular pace. Taking my pocket comb, I fix my disheveled hair
and proceed into the waiting room. A secretary was sitting at her desk and raised her head as she heard me
approach.
" Who are you?," she asked. " Roger Smith, Paradigm negotiator," I reply. Her eyes widen a bit as she
surveys me. " So you're Roger Smith. All the girls talk about you. I didn't know what the fuss was about until now
that is," she said. I smile seductively at her. " Glad to know I'm still number one," I said smoothly. She blushes a
bit before telling me to go into the office.
When I enter the office I see Angel sitting in a chair across from her boss taking notes on something he
was telling her. At the sound of my arrival the duo stop what they were doing. " Roger Smith, do come in," he said.
I move from my place at the door and head to his desk sitting down in a chair. I glance over at Angel who smiled
sweetly at me. " I'm not going to say I'm pleased to meet you Mr. Rosewater because then I'd be lying," I said.
" Isn't that what you do best anyway?," he asked. I frown as Angel giggles softly. " What do you want?," I asked.
" No casual conversation first?," he asked. I glare at him. " Okay I get the message," he says.
He gracefully rises from his desk over to the cabinet where his drinks are stored. " Care for a drink
Mr. Smith?," he asked. " No thank you," I said. He fixed me one anyway sitting in front of me when he returned
to his desk. I was about to question him on the act but he stopped me. " You'll need it once I'm through talking," he
said. I cringed inwardly as my stomach began to feel queasy. After a moment he began. " I heard about your
remarkable android. Or is that bio-android now? Anywho, from various sources I have discovered that young
Ms. Waynewright is pregnant. At your hands no less," he said. Angel looked over at me with an expression of
distaste. I smile a bit hoping for that reaction.
After a moment he continues. " Not only is she pregnant, but she's having twins. What a joyous occasion
for you two," he said. There was a weird glint in his eyes that caused me to worry. " Cut the shit Rosewater. What
do you want from me?," I asked. " That's simple. I want one of your children. Boy or girl it doesn't matter," he
said. My anger began to flare. " Never! I won't ever give you one of our children!!," I shout at him standing up.
" Calm down Mr. Smith. Okay, how about I put it to you like this; Give me a child or the whole world will know
about this conspiracy. I won't even have to kill you or your children. The people of the world would do it," he said.
At his words I sit back down taking the drink that he had sat down in front of me moment earlier. I raise
the glass to my lips drinking the tart liquid down in one swallow. After I was through I addressed him again. " Why
are you doing this?," I asked. " Because I want to see if the child of an android will be stronger," he said. " And
if it's not?," I inquired. " I'll keep him or her anyway. You know I'm not married therefore I have no heirs to my
estate. That child will be my heir," he said. I frown at him with a deadly anger swelling in the pits of my stomach.
" You're sick," I said. He chuckled. " True, true. But I will give you this. You may have one year with the child,
then my dear Melanie will come for him," he said. I shake my head not believing what I'm hearing.
" And it I refuse?," I challenge. " I'll get the child anyway no matter what you do. Just agree to it now,"he
said. I felt silent tears form in my eyes as I nod a silent consent. He smiles. " Good! This meeting is adjourned. My
dear Melanie, show him to the door," he said. He turns his chair to the window as Angel and I head to the door. I
was about to exit until she stopped me. " I'm sorry," she said with her eyes locking on to mine. " Sorry doesn't
mean a damn thing to me now Angel," I said as I walk away from her and the Godforsaken building.
I hopped into my car preparing for the drive home but before I go home I stop at the jewelers and buy
Dorothy's engagement ring. 'I have to find a way to tell her. She'll hate me I know,' I think to myself. As I pull into
the garage I see Norman waiting for me. 'I know, I just won't tell her. Yet,' I think as I step out of the car. " Good
evening Master Roger. Mistress Dorothy is upstairs awaiting your return," he said. I smile at him. " Thank you
Norman," I said. I head up the steps dreading the moment when I had to face her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I sit patiently in Roger and I's bedroom awaiting his arrival home. The whole time he was gone I was
recieving some very odd feelings. At first I thought it was the babies but then I thought better of myself. I always
did have a sixth sense for trouble. As I comtemplate my thoughts without even realizing it I begin to rub my
stomach to soothe my children. After a few minutes of doing this, Roger appears in the doorway. I glance over to
him noting the bright smile on his lips. I relax a little at this sign. 'Maybe everything went well,' I think to myself.
He comes over sitting down next to me. " Did everything go okay? What did he want?," I inquire. Roger's
smile then faded as a more serious expression crossed his features. " No everything didn't go alright. I didn't want
to tell you this but I guess I have to. Rosewater wants one of our children," he confessed. I felt my world begin to
spin around me. He wanted one of my children. Something that Roger and I created in love. With love. " You did
tell him no didn't you?," I asked. He lowered his head a little with his gaze not meeting my eyes. " I couldn't," he
said. My anger began to flare at his words. " What do you mean you 'couldn't'! I would have!!," I scream at him
standing up. " Calm down," he said. " No!!! You just signed over one of our children you bastard!! I hate you!!," I
shout with tears streaming down my face.
I was about to exit the room but Roger catches me. He held me firmly in his grip making me look into
his eyes. " Listen to me," he said. " You have nothing of importance to say to me. I will leave here with these
children if I have to!," I spat. He shook his head a little in sorrow but his firm hold on me never wavered. " Please
don't do that. At least hear my reason for doing this," he pleaded. I glare at him but agree to his terms. He let me
go but forced me to sit down while he stood my the door in case I threatened to leave again. " Rosewater said
that he would reveal to the world about you. If he did that I realized we wouldn't be safe anywhere. The world isn't
like it was forty years ago. We would have no where to hide. I knew it meant sacrificing my child but it would be
better to have them alive than to have them die with us. I know it was unfair to do this without consulting you but
he didn't give me the option," he explained.
My anger faded with his words. I began to cry again. Roger came to my side holding me close to him.
" What will he do with the child?," I asked. Roger sighed. " He said he was going to train the child to see if they
are enhanced in any way. Even if they aren't the child will have to stay with Rosewater to be the heir of his million-
dollar estate," he said. " Will we get to see him before he leaves?," I asked. " We have a year with him then Angel
will take him," he said. " That bitch. I knew she always causes trouble. We should've killed her," I said. Roger
shushed me. " Stop that Dorothy. That type of negativity is not good for the babies," he said. I chuckle at his
concern.
I pull away from him a little to see his eyes. " It's okay Roger. You did what was best for all of us. Besides
we'll just have to enjoy the him for the year he's here," I said. He quirked an eyebrow. " How do you know it's
going to be a boy we give away?," he asked. I smiled at him. " Because I do," I retort. He smiles back. " Can't
wait for them to get here. Even if it does mean we have to part early," he said. " Me too," I said.

End chapter 4. Well, to start I would like to apologize for the delay in writing this chapter. I'm trying to finish my
FF8 story 'Unpredictable Endings.' Now that the shameless advertising time to get to the point. I know you are
like' What the hell? You can't just cut the story off like that!' I know. I'm going to try to get the next chapter out
