The next day number one was sitting in his cell and Michelle, his phyche tech came for a visit.

"You have a visitor".

Michelle tried to tell Number one eveything would be ok. There was a large bruise over one of his eyes where the crowd had punctuated their feelings on his capture. He looked so small sitting in his cell.

Years ago it seemed a pretty simple affair to carry the child. It wasn't hers after all. Someone else's eggs mixed with some strangers sperm. She was well paid for her time and discomfort. Being his psychetech kept her close though.
She tried not to get involved, but she told him things, things well outside of the programs intinerary. Perhaps that led to his seperating out from the rest.

She tried to comfort him, holding him close for a moment.
He looked into her eyes and she burst into tears. She knew it was wrong but she kissed him, the difference in their age made no difference. She knew it was wrong, as it seemed she could still feel him moving within her womb.
