Authors Notes:Right, so I'll cut right to it: If you thought that Josh being Erica's unaborted fetus was all good, and/or if you struggle or don't agree with a woman's right to choose what happens to her body: TURN BACK NOW! This is NOT for you!
I always wanted a son for Erica, and it's such a damn shame who Josh turned out to be and what happened to him in the end. Erica's son was meant to be the ONE male who stood by her through everything, loved her no matter what. It wasn't meant to be the travesty that AMC turned it into. So, I'm going to give her the son she always should have had.
This is Erica's story. Her journey to her son. This is healing and struggling. This is her finally getting to choose and control over her own body. It's her story to tell, and I want to tell it properly.
At the end of the day, I loved her most with David. This isn't a secret. But this isn't going to be a standard DE fic. It will be in terms of he's there, she's there's, life is complicated, but it's not about them…well it is, but you'll find out. Jack will still factor in, and while I loathe them together, I always try to keep it respectful. (Most characters around in 2009 will make an appearance)
This was asking to be written, and AMC was so close to it, and it makes far more sense than Josh being who they said he was.
So, if you've read all of that and you're still here…great! Let's get this show on the road!
