Chapter 24: My Baby

NERV

"Where is it!" I was storming through NERV, looking for the 'baby'.

"Shinji, over here!" I heard Sam call me over. I go over to a room in a secluded hallway.

"What is it Sam, I'm not in the mood right now for this." And I wasn't. I was ready to kill anyone that got in my way.

"Follow me, I know what you're looking for and where to find it." How did she know? I just followed her. She eventually led me into a lab with test tubes, beakers, flasks and every other piece of equipment you could think of.

"Right here, there it is." I look into a large glass tube full of LCL with what looked like a fetes in it. There was our baby, but how was it so big already?

"What have they done?" I said as I walked up to it. I could literally see it GROWING.

"You like it? Years of research have gone into this. We injected an experimental drug. It acts as a twenty-fourth chromosome, which speeds up the growth rate by 400. When it reaches maturity, we'll destroy the drug and let it pilot." That voice.

"You're playing God! You just can't do that!" I have never been so mad.

"Look at it Shinji. It's yours. Isn't it beautiful?" I look over at it. I has grown at least a fourth of its size since I came in. Its eyes were visible now. Red hair started to sprout on its head. The eyes were blue, just like its mother.

"No, no it's not. It's disgusting." Don't look at it. I tell myself as I reach for a hammer near-by.

"You can't do it. You don't have the balls. That thing is your baby, you can't just kill it." Don't look at it.

"Like hell I can't!" I swing at the tube, sending LCL splashing everywhere. The thing falls to the floor, still alive and moving, as if trying to get away. "I'm sorry…" with that I swing the hammer one more time and end it.

Tokyo-3 Streets

"Shinji… are you okay?" I felt horrible.

"No. No, I'm not, Asuka. I just killed a baby, our baby at that! I saw it squirming; I saw it begging for its life, I saw you in it. Your eyes, your hair, your essence. I killed it Asuka… I'm so sorry…" I hug her, crying into her shoulder as she cradled me.

"It's not your fault. Gendo was the one that decided to play god, not you," the words were comforting. "Now the question is where are we going to stay?" I had no idea. Misato was our last hope, and she turned us in.

"How about Toji's? I know he would let us stay." I recommended.

"If you think he will… sure."

Toji's Place

"What? You want to stay here? Why can't you stay at Misato's or at NERV?" because we had a kid, but I wasn't going to tell him that.

"Yeah, please? I can't tell you why, but we can't stay anywhere else, you're our last resort. We'll pay rent if you want," I know that he had an extra room, I've been in it.

"Sure, whatever. Is that everything you've got? Yeah? Well, come on in. I'll take you to the room," that was pretty easy. He led us into the room and took our bags, "Sorry, I only one bed, but I do have a sleeping bag… unless you don't need it…" he said with a grin. Asuka was turning red she was so mad.

"You have ten seconds… nine… eight…" Toji ran off to his room.

"I can't believe that it was so easy, I guess he is a good friend," Asuka thought him as a friend?

"Yeah… but what if he catches wind of what happened?" he would probably kick us out.

"How would he know? Even if he did, I don't think he would do anything," I sure hope so. Toji came out of his room just then.

"Hey Shinji, you don't have to pay rent, but I do want something in return for you living here," he had that smile he always had when he was about to do something stupid, "One, I want you to cook. And two, try not to be too loud at night!" Asuka charged after him and got him in a headlock. "Hey, I'm fine with this…" His face was right next to her right breast.

"PERVERT!" Asuka was the one that grabbed him!

"So, we have a deal Shinji? You cook and I let you stay here?" that seemed like an unfair trade, but I was okay with it.

"Sure, no problem."

"Good, hope you like your new home!" he held out his arms and greeted us.

Toji's Place – That Night

"Here you go, I made some hamburgers. Hope their okay," I handed Asuka and Toji a plate.

"Anything is better than instant every night!" he pointed to a cupboard full to the rim with ramen noodles… ew.

"Glad you are okay with it, now… I also made some…" an alarm goes blazing.

"See ya…" he said as we both ran off.

A/N- Living at Toji's now, huh? Hope you like the change, I just felt the whole NERV thing was getting old. So, will Toji fond out about the child? Will the new sin be too much for them? What sin will it be? Find out in the next chapter; Switcheroo, until then keep on keepin' on!
