Start Of Everything

//your mother's point of view.\\

I just sat there. In the corner of my home. My apartment. It didn't feel like a home. There was no furniture as of two days ago. The beige dingy wall paper was damp and peeling. Most of the bathroom tiles had been cracked or had a black rotting colour around the edges.

This place was my home but not anymore. I didn't care. I had my baby. And I didn't have much time with her. I knew that. I had decided at around four months into the pregnancy that there would be no chance for me to give her any kind of life. Not a good one anyway. I had no job and hadn't paid rent for the past week. I gazed into her (Y/E/C) eyes. I was supposed to give her away after three days so I didn't get too attached but that is impossible. As soon as I saw her face there was an instant bond. Something stronger than words. Like she was the only thing that mattered.

I looked out of the dust covered window. The moon was climbing. Only visible between digital billboards upon skyscrapers. In Detroit the moon seemed to be the only natural thing left. Along with the river. And my baby. Her (H/C) hair was growing through slightly at the top. I left the shell of a home for the final time with my baby in my arms. The door slammed behind me.

I didn't take the bus. *achoo* "Has my little (Y/N) got a sniffle? They'll take care of you I promise." I blinked tears out of my eyes. Buses didn't cost anything as they've been funded by CyberLife as a 'gift to the city'. I guess the lowest levels of employment on record is just the wrapping on the present. I sighed. How did this happen to me? My child will be raised without me. Her killed in a mugging gone wrong. And yet she still smiles. Oblivious. I couldn't help but smile at her. The only sound was my footsteps and distant vehicles whirring by. I arrived outside the adoption centre. If i went in I wouldn't be able to leave without her. I stared into her eyes once more. She giggled. Constellations danced in her eyes like the universe was hers keep. She was my baby. Mine. And I was determined to give her a chance at a good life.

The streets were in a state of slumber. The only visible life is me and my child. I looked at her and a grim frown found its way on my face. I forced it away. I looked at my beautiful baby. I loved her with every cell in my body. "(Y/N), I-I need you to know" Rivers of tears came pouring out of my eyes. "That i love you so so so much. Your father would say the same...if he was here. Just know that you can do anything. I know you're special. You will change the world one day. And-and just know that no matter what, everything about you is perfect. Down to your blood type. People say t-that the world will run by androids but none will ever compare to what you can do. Don't let people tell you that your abilities won't be as good as a robot because you are a human. You are special. I-i'm..."

...

You place a necklace around her neck. It's a wing. Her name was engraved on the back with her birthday. It was the least you could do. For your baby girl. You cried.

"I'm sorry. Be better than I am. I love you (y/n)." Is the last words you spoke to your child. You stroked her head one more time and placed her on the doorstep of the Adoption Centre. You rang the doorbell, kissed her forehead and ran. Like a tear in the rain, you were lost. Not to be found again.

**third person**

The door opened. A woman looked at the street confused. Then heard crying. Looking down at the floor was a baby. Eyes glazed with tears. Strained helpless cries. She was raised into the woman's arms. She brought the baby inside and the story began.
