Disclaimer: I don't own Pretender. If I did, I would have made seasons three and four make sense.
Author's note: It's funny how you can get the idea for a story from one sentence, then end up cutting out that sentence entirely. Part of my modified 100 fic challenge.
Miss Parker didn't even like Brigitte, but she was ruining a very expensive suit for her. As she tried to coax the baby into the world without killing its mother, she kept getting glimpses of red blood on the almost-white suit, a mockery of her almost-life.
Seeing Brigtte lying on the floor broken, bloody, and alone, convinced Parker she was as much a pawn as Parker herself. She couldn't love mother or child, but a fierce hope whispered she might be able to save this child, make up for all the children her mother couldn't rescue.
Like Jarod.
Like her.
