"But daddy I don't want to do the potato battery!" Chell complained,

"I know darling, but you have to remember?" I asked,

I was bent down my hands on my knees talking to her,

"Okay" she said with a little smile,

"Good girl" I then smiled kissing her forehead,

As I stood straight I looked across to see Caroline stood biting her thumb nail, she walked over to me and looked down to Chell,

"Hey Caroline" I said cautiously taking Chell's tiny hand in my own,

"Oh, hello Douglas" she said looking up,

"This is my daughter, Chell" I said,

"Hello Chell" Caroline then said kneeling,

Chell let go of my hand and grabbed the side of my trousers hugging me close, but she answered,

"Hello… Caroline" she said reading her badge,

Caroline then stood, "Can I speak with you Douglas?" she asked,

"Sure" I replied,

I then kneeled, and hugged Chell tight,

"I'll be back real soon, I promise" I whispered letting go,

Chell nodded and watched me as I walked away. Caroline led me a side room and as soon as the doors closed she hugged me,

"You've taken such good care of Chell" she then pulled away, "Me and Cave are so happy, and he's so proud of you, I'm sure you've enjoyed looking after our daughter",

I stepped back, "She's my daughter Caroline, you gave her up", I then turned and left.

As I entered the room full of little girls I looked around the crowd to Chell, I was taken aback straight away, she stood smiling talking to Cave. I rushed over,

"Go and work on your project darling" I said stepping in front of her,

There wasn't a reply, but I heard her tiny feet walk away,

"Douglas? What are you doing? I was just talking to my daughter" Cave said staring into my eyes,

I got a sudden sense of strength and spoke back to him,

"But she's not your daughter, she's mine. I'm the one she calls daddy, I'm the one who reads her bed time stories, I'm the one who she kisses goodnight, I'm her father" I said,

"But who supplied your daughter?" Cave asked,

"She's not a supply, she's a little girl" I replied.

"She still belongs to the Aperture company" Cave laughed, "So if you think she belongs to you, your wrong" he finished,

"She doesn't belong to any one" I said turning and walking away.

I found Chell by her almost complete potato project,

"How's it coming along darling?" I smiled,

"Good" she replied,

I looked into her eyes as she worked, and then, I really looked, the blue tint I had once seen, was now pale and grey, like uncle Johnson's…

Sorry for any mistakes I wrote it in a rush to get the ideas down and couldn't be bothered going over it again and again to make it more detailed. Oh and look, I know I said it was a one time thing… but I promise, it's only 3 chapters… no matter what anyone says… you know who you are ¬¬
