Own Nothing

"No, no, no." Darcy stared at the screen of her father. "This is the worst thing you could ever do to me. Ever."

Ian Malcolm sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose through the screen. "Darcy, sweetheart."

"Don't you sweet heart me! I would've let you let a dinosaur loose on my park before I let you do this to me."

Lowry snorted next to her and then flinched at her glare.

"You have dinosaurs run loose all the damn time Darcy!" Her Dad shouted back at her through the screen. "And it's not like I could've said no."

"Yes you could've. No means no. Tell them that I was busy. I have two Islands to run. Next on my list is world domination. And I have a wedding to plan. I have scaly children to raise. Three more that will hatch by Christmas time!" She crossed her arms. "I rather deal with another Indominus Rex." She gave her Dad a look of annoyance. "Then deal with them."

"Okay now you're just being a brat." Ian muttered. "She's just your Mother."

"Yeah, who doesn't like their Mom?" Lowery asked her, as he looked up at her.

Darcy glared down at him. "You've met the Indominus Rex right?" She asked him, watching him nod. "Indy's nicer."

Ian snorted over the video line as he sipped his coffee. "Yeah well I didn't marry her for her politeness Darcy."

"No just her sweet ass Dad, I know." Darcy rolled her eyes at her Dad. "Now she works for the FBI and you're a college professor. Jokes on you."

"She'll be there tomorrow." Ian stated as he glared at his daughter. "Brat."

Darcy stared back at him. "Dinosaur bait." She shot back before ending the call. She flopped down in her chair and covered her face.

"So is your Mom really that bad?" Lowery asked her.

Darcy sighed and leaned back in her chair. "When I was younger she wasn't. Because she was just starting into psychology, but she got good really good. She's brilliant in her field. One of the best." Darcy stopped and zoned out for a minute before speaking. "We began to split apart towards high school, that's when I wanted to live with Dad. Because she started to over analyze everything I did. Everything was a puzzle to her, she wanted to pick everything apart and I just wanted to be a teenager. Dad wanted me to be good in school and be a kid. I could have fun as long as I got good grades and chores were done." She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "And her work, it takes a lot out of her, I think. Emotionally, you can't walk away from it unscarred. You carry it with you. She bottles it up and takes it with her. I couldn't live with that all the time. So I left."

Lowery watched her. "So you two don't typically see each other."

"Sometimes." She nodded slowly. "Last time was a few years ago. I came up to live with her in Virginia to finish college and I met someone and we dated for a while." She smiled lightly at the memory. "He asked me to marry him."

"Really?" Lowery turned to face her curious.

Darcy nodded. "Yup. But I needed my last two science credits and so I decided to intern for this scientist in New Mexico so I broke it off. God my Mom was furious. She loved the guy. She was planning the wedding with his Mother in secret since the first date I think." Darcy rolled her eyes. "But he was nice, but not my kind of marriage material."

"Not Owen Grady material?" Lowery joked with wiggling his eyebrows.

Darcy laughed as she stood up and stretched. "He was no Alpha Husband material." She winked. "Well back to work for me." She waved good bye and walked out of the control room.

Darcy was having lunch with Tanner when someone sat next to her real close. She blinked as she registered just how close this person's body was to her personal bubble and it could only mean one of two things, one it was Natasha or two, it was Owen. And since it was wasn't a woman, she had to believe it was Owen. She blinked and looked over to see her fiancé eating his lunch and telling a joke to Tanner. "This is my bubble." She whispered to him.

He looked over at her and blink. "Okay."

"We're at work Owen, in the middle of the day." She whispered. "I know that we're engaged and everyone knows it too. But can we have some professionalism while we're working hours in public." She watched him as he watched her. He studied her for a moment before shifting over an appropriate distance from her. She gave him a nod and a smile in thanks before turning back to her food. She glance of to see Tanner looking at her in confusion before he dropped the look.

Darcy inhales deeply and just shook her head and turned back to her food and quickly finished whatever was left before she got up to throw it away. She held on to her canteen and filled it up with water and left the cafeteria. She walked out of the hotel and out to the parking lot with the jeeps to head to the labs. "Darcy." Owen called after her. She stopped as she reached her jeep. She opened her canteen and took a drink so she can be doing something as she waited for him to catch up to her. "Hey, what was that about?"

She closed her canteen and tossed it into the jeep and slammed the door shut and turned to answer him, not paying attention and closed the door on her hand. "Fuck." She cried out with a hiss.

"Hey, hey." He quickly open the door and help her with her hand. "It's okay." He looked at it, it was already looking pretty bad. "We might need to get you to medical."

"Damnit." She muttered. "Great, let's just add this to the list of what makes this the shittiest day." She let him lead her to the passenger seat and got in. He rushed over to the driver side and got in and they took off the medical labs. They rode in silence as they drove there and he helped her out of the jeep when they arrive. "I wasn't paying attention and I slammed my hand in the door." She explained to the staff when they asked her what happened. Owen sighed and nodded, because that was basically what happened. He didn't need to say that she was probably angry or upset about something. Because chances were, knowing Darcy, something upset her.

After an hour of exams, X-rays, they had it in cast and gave her a sling to wear for a while. Told her rest and gave her some pain pills to help. She laid there in the bed to allow for the first round of pain killers to kick in before they allowed her to go home. "So do you want to tell me what made you so upset earlier?" Owen asked her. "Because you've been off coffee for three weeks now, I don't think it would be that."

She snorted and rolled her eyes. "My Mother is coming to visit." She stated and she really hoped that the pain killers would kick in soon because she doesn't want to have this conversation.

"Why don't you want to have this conversation?" He asked her.

"Shit." She muttered. She took a deep breath and turn to look at him. "Because I really, really, really like you." She giggled. Yup there are kicking in. "Like I love you Grady. And she's just going to come into my Island on her fucking broomstick and rip this relationship to shreds." She had a disgusted look on her face as she turned away from him. "She's such a bitch." She shook her head. "She just can't get over that I didn't want to get married to Kevin." She snorted. Her eyes felt heavy, god she had to pee. Maybe she should get up. She tried to push herself up from the bed but Owen pushed her back down. "I have to go pee." She told him. She blinked. "I'm getting sleepy. Let me go bathroom, then we go home." She reached up and patted his cheek.

"Okay." He helped her up and got a nurse to help her use the bathroom. Afterwards he led her to the jeep and drove her back to the cottage. She felt a little bit more awake after that.

She rubbed her face with her other hand and smiled at him. "I'm sorry that I made you uncomfortable during lunch. I just." She sighed. "I don't want anyone think I'm playing favorites because I'm engaged to the HOS who just happens to be my Raptor Husband. I just want there to be professionalism at work during working hours when there's other people." She explained.

"Besides T-n-T and Lowery?" Owen asked her.

She nodded as she walked into the kitchen to get a cup of water. "I try to make sure everyone on the Island gets an equal share. That everyone is cared for. On both Islands. But it always seems like everyone thinks that you get special treatment because of how we act together. So I want to your boss at work."

He smirked at her and came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her cheek. "You can be my boss at home too."

"Oh my God." She laughed. "See this. This is what I don't want to hear at work." She turned in his arms to look at him. "Which you need to get back to sir." She poked him in the chest.

"I can't. I'm taking a personal day to take care of my Fiancé. She was hurt on the job." He looked down at her hand. "Blue's going to appreciate that you choose her color for your cast."

"You're a dork." She rolled her eyes at him.

"You're Mom isn't going to tear us apart." He told her in a serious tone.

"That went 0-60 real quick." She groaned and slouched against him. "She's a profile for the FBI Owen, she's like the Sherlock Holmes of agents and she will pick this apart until you don't want to be with me. Trust me, she has done it so many times to me before whenever I get into a serious relationship."

"Then I'll tell her to fuck off." He told her. "I don't need her approval to marry you." He lifted her chin to stare into her eyes. "Hey, I love you and yeah, this is not a normal relationship. But we're here and we're now. And together we're getting stronger. And besides, your Dad likes me now. So I don't give a shit what your Mom thinks of me."

Darcy stared up at him, her eyes felt watery and she honestly didn't know if she felt emotional from his words or maybe she was still in a little bit of pain. "I've never really wanted kids. I had pet lizards growing up because Dad would tell us the stories about Jurassic Park that was supposed to be a secret and I wanted to work with Dinosaurs when I got older."

"Lizards huh?" Owen smirked down at her.

Darcy nodded. "I rescued them."

"And this Kevin guy, he wanted to marry you?" Owen asked her.

Darcy sighed. "When I went to school there, Mom introduced us, he was one of her younger classmates and I was going to Culver. We dated for less than a year, I then got an internship for New Mexico with Dr. Foster, where I met Thor. So I left and broke it off. Oh she was so angry. Apparently he was devastated." She shrugged. "He was more into me then I was into him. But he wasn't someone I could see myself marrying."

"But I am?" He asked her.

Darcy stared up at him. "Yes." She stated with hesitation. "A thousand times yes."

Owen laughed and kissed her. "Alright, you need to rest, doctor's orders."

"Fine, but stop by and get my paperwork. I'll ask Tanner to gather it for you. I'll rest for like two hours but then I'm working from home." She stated as he corralled her towards the bedroom.

"That's alright. But you need to rest your hand." He told her. "Have F.R.I.D.A.Y. put in the data for you."

"God you're so bossy." She told him with a laugh as she changed slowly into PJ's.

He stopped and smirked at her. "You like it."

Darcy sat in Taylor's office and sighed. "I don't suppose we could, you know. Shut down all of our ports and we be like. 'So sorry, Island is quarantine, come back never' " Darcy asked her friend.

Taylor snorted as she sorted through the paper work from the finical office from Cindy, her new hire from two weeks ago. "That will not go over well with the media outlets."

"Urgh." Darcy glared at her. "You're supposed to be on my side here."

"I am." Taylor stated as she reached down and pulled out a stack of files. "I had F.R.I.D.A.Y grab the flight manifest of who is traveling with your Mom and their background information. So I can see how many rooms we would need. I didn't want to be unprepared. I also didn't want you to be blindsided in a few hours."

Darcy stared at the files warily. "I have a feeling this is going to suck either way." She sighed and opened up her Mom's file first to see what she's been up to. "Oh, look she got remarried." She looked up at Taylor. "Thanks Mom for telling us."

Taylor snorted. "Wait for it, it gets better."

"If this file says she got married to Kevin, I will laugh, then cried, vomit and then ban both of them from the Island because that is just weird." Darcy stated as she turned to look down at the file and stopped. "Oh. Oh. Wow."

"Not Kevin?" Taylor asked as she rested her chin on her hand.

"Shut up." Darcy narrowed her eyes at her. "Like you haven't read this. This is a poor excuse for a gossip rag. And I need copy of this sent to my Dad when you can please?" She looked back down at it. "It's for Christmas."

"I already did." Taylor smiled smugly. "I put my name on it."

"Damn it." Darcy muttered. "Okay, so who is she traveling with?" She set her mom's file down and grabbed the other one and opened it. "Hell no." Her eyes widened.

"Yup." Taylor responded. "He's a full fledged Agent now, he's on your Mom's team."

Darcy closed the file and pinched her nose as she closed her eyes. "Of course the first time I see my Mom in years. I'm happy, I'm engaged, and I'm in control of two awesome Islands. She wants to drudge up an ex-boyfriend who propose to start drama."

"Who knows, maybe he's moved on." Taylor replied with a shrugged.

Darcy sighed and set the file back on Taylor's desk and adjusted her sling as she looked at the clock on the wall. "They get here in a few hours."

"That's not enough time for you to make a run for it." Taylor stated.

"I hate you." Darcy stated.

Taylor hummed. "That's fine, but you still have to pay me." She gave Darcy a smile.

"Hey Darcy." A beep came from her head set. "Get to the labs now."

"I got to go." Darcy stood up.

Taylor waved her off as she went back to her paperwork.

Darcy touch the headset as she went to the elevator. "What's up Tyler?"

"They're starting to Hatch." He breathed. "Get here, hurry."

Darcy's heart pumped as she stepped into the elevator and pushed for the lab floor. "Get Owen." She ordered.

"He's on his way." Tyler stated.

"Alright." She breathed. "I'll be there in a minute or two." She watched as the elevator went to down the lab floor, it only two a few seconds but it felt like an eternity. The doors finally opened and she raced to the labs, trying not to giggle her injure hand to much. The lab doors open and she rushed in. "Tyler." She called out as she rushed over to him.

"Here." He reached out to her and led her over to the incubator. "I noticed the cracks a few minutes ago and I called Owen because it would take longer for him to get here. Then I called you."

"Good, good." She whispered as she watched them. "It could take awhile right."

He nodded. "I believe so. I never worked with the last batch and Owen is the expert out of the three of us." He smiled down at the eggs. "I can't believe it's time."

She smiled and patted his shoulder. "You did good." She assured him. "Thank you."

"Seven Raptors though." He breathed.

"We'll make it work." She whispered. "We'll figure it out." They stood there in silence as they watched the eggs

"How far have they gotten?" Owen asked when he rushed in a few minutes later.

"Not far." Darcy stated. "It could be a while." She looked over at him. "It looks like only one started hatching."

"Well it's a good thing we gave the other three names already." He stated as he looked over at the eggs.

She nodded as she though back to Canary, Robin and Arrow. "So what, follow the tradition and name them after DC characters?" She asked with a smirk.

He smiled at her and grabbed her good hand. "Maybe." He winked at her. They turned back to the eggs and watched. "We'll need warm towel and a box to put them in, something to keep them warm. Until I can take them home."

"We're taking them home?" Darcy asked him.

Owen nodded. "That's what I did with the other four, it helps them bond with me, teaches them social skills."

Darcy nodded as she watched the eggs. "Okay."

A few hours later two of the baby Raptors had hatched and had imprinted on Darcy and Owen. They had cleaned them off and fed them their first piece of meat. They were now sleeping in the warm box in warm, clean towels, curled into each other. "Has the last egg even cracked yet?" Darcy asked Tyler.

He shook his head. "No. There's no signs of any cracks."

"Check again." Owen stated. "Sometimes, she's might not be ready."

Tyler gave him a sad look and turned the egg over and shook his head. "Nothing."

"Tyler." Darcy whispered. "Check for a heartbeat." She blinked back tears as she said it. She could hear a beep from her headset, it was either from Taylor or Lowery but she ignored it.

"Darcy." Taylor's voice came through her headset.

Darcy toughed her head set while she watched Tyler grabbed a wand to run an ultrasound to check for heartbeat. "Not now Taylor, we're busy." She try to keep her voice steady.

"I know, but they're here." Taylor spoke softly.

"Then get them in their rooms. I can't see them now." She watched as Tyler frowned and shook his head. No heartbeat "Tell them, I will see them tomorrow."

"Yes Ma'am." Taylor signed off.

Darcy sighed and let the tears fall as she reached out and took the egg from Tyler. "Thank you Tyler, for everything."

"I'm so sorry guys. I tried." Tyler look down, ashamed.

"Hey." Owen tried to reassure him.

"Don't." Darcy started. "Don't be sorry Tyler. Blue has more sisters then we could have ever hope for. And now we have two more and they're alive. We have all of the research back from Wu. We can create more dinosaurs in case they die or get sick. But I think for now, we have enough Raptors." She looked over at Owen and smiled when he nodded. "Thank you for all of your work." She smiled at Tyler. "I'd hug you, but I'm down an arm, so when I can. I'll give you a hug."

Tyler gave her a smile. "Okay." He looked down at the box. "Take care of those girls, I worked very hard on them, it's your turn now."

Owen smiled and picked up the box. He smiled down at the sleeping Raptor babies. "Don't worry, I'll show her the ropes."

"I'm going to hold on to this." Darcy held onto the egg, the one that didn't hatch. "If you don't mind."

"She's all yours." Tyler nodded.

Darcy nodded and she walked out of the labs, Owen behind her. "I'll see you at home." Darcy stated. "I need to get some paperwork done. I'll be home in a bit."

"Okay, don't be too late, we're having steak tonight." Owen told her as he leaned down and kissed her. "You really okay?"

"It's sad." She held the egg in her good hand.

"I know, I'm sorry." He whispered.

"It's okay." She kissed him again. "I'll see you at home." She turned and got into the elevator and went up to her office. Her door opened for her because of F.R.I.D.A.Y and she sat at her desk. She sat the egg down against the wall and looked at it.

"This is a nice office."

Darcy internally groaned as she stilled. She looked over at her couch to see a woman there. "Mother."
