{Emily}

"Harder!" I screamed as Toby thrusted into me. It's almost a couple of weeks and the pregnancy hormones are starting to get on my nerves even more. So far I've only been pregnant for a few months and my mood has been going up and down and I've been really horny lately. Thankfully, Toby has been with me to take full advantage of that. But on the other hand, Dominic has taken advantage of it too when Toby's not around to stop him.

Finally, Toby and I climaxed together and laid down on the bed cuddling together for a bit. There was a knock on the door and I groaned, "I really don't feel like getting up. Can you get that for me?"

Toby groaned and got out of bed and got dressed in a pair of shorts and answered the door. It was Anna with a tray of food in her hands. She giggled, "Am I interrupting something?"

Toby shook his head. "Nah, we just finished. I'll take that."

Anna laughed, "Okay then. Oh um Dominic wants to see you two in a few hours after Emily eats."

"Did he say why?" Toby asked.

Anna shook her head. "Nope. He just said he wants to see you two and that's all."

"Alright then," Toby said. He closed the door and handed the tray of food to me when he sat down on the bed.

"What do you think Dominic wants from us this time?' I asked.

He shrugged. "I have no idea."

Three hours later we were sitting in a conference room next to Dominic's office. I frowned when I saw a woman sitting at the head of the table next to Dominic. The woman wasn't just any woman, it was my birth mother! I tried to keep myself composed but I failed at it. I sneered at her, "What are you doing here?"

"Is that a good way to greet your mother?" The woman asked.

"It's the perfect way to greet you!" I snarled, "The last time I saw you was over seven years ago! And for what? To get me to cooperate with A-Circle? Do you have any idea what they did to me?"

The woman hung her head. "Yes, I know now and I never should've sold you to A-Circle-"

I cut her off, "You sold me to A-Circle? Is that why you wouldn't allow me to come home? You bitch!"

I wanted to walk over and beat the ever loving daylights out of her but Dominic put up a hand to stop.

"I think you two should settle things right here and right now," Dominic said.

I scoffed, "Settle things? And how do you propose I do that?"

"We," the woman said, "Mr. Anderson said 'we' because it's not just you that needs to clear the air."

"Clear what air?" I sneered, "I don't think there needs to be any air to clear because this is all your fault! You fucking sold me as if I were some goddamn slave and not your daughter! Fuck you! As far as I'm concerned I don't have a mother!"

Dominic laughed a sinister laugh. I looked over at Dominic. "What's so funny?"

He shook his head. "I'm not laughing because it's funny. I'm laughing because I'm glad you've finally officially disowned your mother. So, I'm going to give you a choice."

I raised an eyebrow. "A choice?"

He nodded and took out a gun; it was a semi automatic handgun. He slid the gun over to me and I picked it up. "Does this gun look familiar to you?"

I looked down at the gun and it didn't look like anything special at first but then I looked at the side of it and there were numbers on it. The numbers on it were: 32401 and there was a yellow dot underneath the numbers. My eyes went wide when I saw that. "This is my first gun!"

Dominic smiled. "Yes, it is."

I heard Dominic talking but I didn't hear what he said next because the image of the boy who was supposedly my son popped into my head. "Hi mom! In case you're wondering, yes I did pop into Uncle Dominic's dreams too. Sorry but I figured it would be best even if it was a gamble."

"What's the choice?" I asked.

"Well it's simple, either grab my hand and work on moving towards the future, or you can put the gun down and stay in the cycle of hate that you're stuck in right now," the boy explained. He held out his hand. "The choice is yours mom, so what do you want to do?"

I had no idea how long I stood there making my decision but when I finally made it I grabbed my son's hand.

The moment Dominic gave Emily the gun I had a feeling something really bad was going to happen. She made sure the gun was loaded and stood there for a good minute trying to decide what to do. I was getting ready to say something when Emily suddenly open fired on her mother and emptied the clip into her.

She stood there in complete shock at what she had just done. I don't blame her for that. I rushed over to her side when I saw her hand bleeding.

My right eye twitched in anger when I saw Dominic smirking. "Hmm, why am I not surprised by this?"

He walked slowly towards Emily and I stood in front of her to shield her from Dominic. He rolled his eyes. "Honestly, do you think I'm going to discipline her for this? To tell the truth I'm glad she killed her because now all Lieutenant 32 has to do is focus on the future."

"What are you talking about you bastard?" I snarled.

"Lieutenant 32's mother is the reason she's at A-Circle," Dominic explained. "Her mother wasn't kidding when she said she sold Lieutenant 32 to A-Circle. If you ask me, the woman wasn't fit to be a mother the moment she did that."

My heart broke when I heard that. I knelt beside Emily and pulled her into my arms. I couldn't even begin to fathom how Emily would feel at this very moment. "Oh Emily, I'm so sorry!"

Dominic shook his head. "Hopefully, by the choice she made she'll finally be able to move forward but of course I know she's going to try-"

"Just shut up!" Emily shouted, "You have no idea how I feel right now and I doubt you even care!"

He shrugged. "You're right I don't care."

"Good because I'll tell you how I feel. I'm glad she's dead!" Emily shouted, "I hope that bitch rots in hell and when you die, I hope you rot in hell too!"

Dominic looked like he was getting ready to say something when Emily got up and ran towards him. I didn't have time to think when she grabbed Dominic and ran towards a nearby office window and jumped out of it.

"No!" That was the last thing I said before I fell over and passed out.

{Emily}

I don't remember much after I fell out of the office window and apparently that window was a hundred feet up in the air and somehow I managed to survive that. Most normal people would've died as soon as they hit the ground from falling from that height. But I'm not a normal person and that's how I survived.

I didn't know how time passed until I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of a baby crying at the top of their lungs. When I opened my eyes I heard two people let out a sigh of relief. I looked over and saw one of those people was Toby was holding a baby in his arms and the other person was Dominic. I rolled my eyes and thought, Why am I not surprised that Dominic survived the fall? That bastard!

Dominic chuckled, "Did you really think that fall would be enough to kill me Lieutenant 32? It didn't kill you so why would it kill me?"

I deadpanned. "Good point."

As soon as I said that I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen and cried out in agony because of it.

"In case you're wondering you were in a coma for the rest of your pregnancy," Toby said. "You just gave birth today. The baby in my arms is your son."

Before I could do anything the baby disappeared and reappeared lying on my chest.

Dominic laughed, "Ha! It seems your child has already developed an ability. It'll be interesting to see how many abilities he'll develop as he grows."

I ignored what he said and looked down at my son who was now sleeping peacefully on my chest.

"Huh," Toby said, "I guess your son was just waiting for his mother to wake up. At least he's not crying anymore. Boy he's got a set of lungs on him!"

I chuckled, "Well he was loud enough to pull me out of a coma so yeah he does."

Toby and Dominic exchanged a look and burst into laughter and I joined in. I stopped laughing when I saw my son stir. Toby stopped laughing and said, "Alright we need to make sure this little one can sleep. He's been crying at the top of his lungs the whole entire day until his mom woke up. Here, let me take him."

I handed my son over to Toby and thankfully he slept most of the day. We decided to bottle feed him because I wasn't producing enough milk for him. As the days went on I found out that my son ate twice the amount of food that a normal baby would eat and he still maintained a healthy weight that an infant should have.

Toby and I decided to call our son Prince. We did that to be spiteful to Dominic. Dominic on the other hand wanted to call Prince, lab rat P001234.

Three months after I'd given birth to Prince, Toby proposed marriage to me and it was one of the silliest proposals I'd ever heard because he went through every name I'd ever had from, Amelia to 32401 to Emily to Lieutenant 32 and only after that he asked me to marry him. I said yes of course.

Dominic stepped down as leader of A-Circle three years later and handed the position over to me. Toby handled the business side of A-Circle and I handled everything else. Dominic would pop in every now and then just to take advantage of me and see how things were going. I wound up having another kid but by Dominic this time and I also found out that Sergeant 22 got pregnant by him finally.

Sergeant 22 was super happy about that even though Dominic made it clear to her that they weren't going to start dating or get married anytime soon. In his own words they're just fuck buddies and nothing else.

The baby I had by Dominic wound up being a girl and I named her Charlie. With everything that happened over the years I had to stop writing my stories and deal with everything life threw at me.

Then, ten years later after I had taken over A-Circle I got some news that someone was planted as a mole in A-Circle in order to expose us to the world. Thankfully, since I hired Anna to be my right hand woman so to speak she was able to sniff out who the mole was and turned him in.

I had Anna put the mole in a holding cell that we have at the labs so I could interrogate him. As soon as I got to the cell I sat down at the table in the middle of the room across from him. He smirked. "Well, well if it isn't the big boss lady herself Lieutenant 32!"

I shrugged. "Yeah that would be me. So tell me, exactly how were you planning on 'exposing' A-Circle Labs?"

"Simple," the man said. "I was going to report it to the news with video footage and everything."

I snorted. "Oh sure, a news station would believe your story. Do you know how much power and influence A-Circle Labs have? Please even if word got out about it you wouldn't be able to do a thing about it."

The man raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"

I nodded. "Oh yeah. So have fun being a lab rat."

The man shook his head. "I don't believe you, you wouldn't do testing on me-"

I rolled my eyes and gestured for the guard who was standing nearby to get me my gun. I pointed it at him and pulled the trigger hitting him with a bullet in his right arm.

"Do you really believe that I wouldn't do testing on some outsider who intends to bring down a huge business like A-Circle Labs?" I snarled, "Yeah you thought wrong on that one. And once I hand out an order it will be followed through." I stood up from the table and without another word I walked out of the room.

***

The next day after I had talked to that mole and turned him into a lab rat, my son Prince decided to ask me if he could have a private conversation with me.

"What's up?" I asked as I sat down on a chair at the desk in my office.

I motioned for Prince to sit down at the seat across from me. "Well I want to know something, was it worth it?"

I tilted my head. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Was killing Grandma worth it?" Prince asked, "Because from where I'm standing it was. Do remember what happened before you shot Grandma?"

I nodded. "Yes, you appeared."

Prince nodded. "And I gave you a choice to grab my hand and move forward and work on letting go of the cycle of hate or stay stuck right where you were."

"Oh, I see," I said. "But why did you feel the need to do what you did?"

Prince sighed, "Well as I grew up Grandma started coming around and trying to get in contact with you every chance she got. She kept trying to meddle in your everyday life and tried to make decisions for you that were your decisions to make not hers. She even went so far as to try and use me as leverage against you. Eventually you snapped and tried to kill yourself. That's when Dad, Uncle Dominic and I came up with the idea of trying to help you that way before things got out of hand in the future.

"I already knew you were dealing with some issues with Uncle Dominic but Grandma was pushing things and adding in more stress and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for you. To be honest I got lucky that the future didn't change as much as I thought it was going to with Grandma dead. I was taking a risk going back in time the way I did. But I'm glad that I could help."

I paused and thought about what Prince just said and he was right. I mean the main reason why I ended up at A-Circle in the first place was because the woman who gave birth to me sold me as if I were nothing more than a piece of property and not her daughter. It's too bad I can't really do anything about Dominic though so I gave up trying to fight him so much and just did what I was told.

Of course that didn't stop Dominic from taking advantage of me. Somehow he still had feelings for me even though I wasn't fighting with him as much anymore.

I looked up at Prince and said, "Yes, killing her was worth it. I feel at peace with my decision and I thank you for helping me do that."

I walked over to his chair and pulled him into my arms when I saw that he was going to start crying. He cried in my arms. "That makes me so happy that I could help you mom! I'm so glad! I'm so, so glad!"

After a moment of two he stopped crying and I let go of him. I smiled and went back over to my chair across from him.

"You are a very wise kid," I said. "And you'll make a great leader for something in the future I'm sure of it. Now enough with the crying, I got some work to do."

Prince looked up at me and smiled. "Yes mom. I'll leave you to it."

After Prince left I laid my head down on the table as I sat at my desk and thought about things even more. Even though I went through a lot of shit before getting to this point in my life now that I think about it, I wouldn't change anything about what I did and even though I'm still dealing with other issues right now I like my life the way it is at the moment. So yeah my son was right, since killing my mother changed things for the better in the future killing her was worth it.

In the end, I'd made the right decision but only a couple of decades too late apparently and it was the best decision I'd ever made.
