Aubrey

On September 4th, 2008, Aubrey Marie Lafontant entered the world. She has beautiful black hair and green eyes. In fact, she's nearly the splitting image of me. Dwayne says she lucked out. He treats her like a princess. I knew he would.

Aubrey is absolutely amazing. I made a person. I made an actual person.

Sometimes it feels like I wasn't born so much as kicked out of some type of heavenly corporation while I was still a baby. That probably doesn't make any sense.

I know Aubrey isn't exactly like me because I never got that kind of feeling from her. Her world is innocent. In contrast, I think I always saw life as something to micromanage.

Actually, I worried about how I would be as a mom because of my OCD, but I think I'm doing just fine.

Mm, well, Aubrey already won prizes in the baby division of six beauty pageants and I'm really hoping she wins an overall prize soon. I need an outlet, and pageants are perfect. The other contestants are at a disadvantage because Aubrey just is the most beautiful. They're at another disadvantage, too.

Sometimes a flash of light will appear out of nowhere and whatever frustrates my daughter melts. It just melts, or it disintegrates. Dwayne notices this, as well. He's sure it's remnants of her parents, that's us, getting struck by the Depelter Turbo, and there's nothing else it really could be.

The light isn't as bright as the Depelter Turbo's flash. I don't think anything else on earth is that bright, and frankly, I'm not sure it's from earth. Man may have developed it, but it's not something that was made for earth.

Dwayne doesn't have our daughter's ability. Neither do I.

Of course, all this stays a secret. We may be monitored as it is. The last thing we need is to lose our child to science.
