             "She's so cute!" Tiffany whispers as she looks at her new baby sister, who was laying on her parent's bed.

Steve grins "She is a beauty isn't she?"

"She's more normal than me, that's a good thing, right?" 

Tillian, is in fact, mostly normal. She doesn't have her right eyeball like Tiffany, but it was just leaking regular blood, unlike her sister.

Steve guides Tiffany out of the room. Once out front of their house, he picks her up and spins her. She giggles and he holds her close. "I love you both equally. Tilly might be less targeted now because her condition is more minor, I guess, but don't worry. In a week or so we'll all be safer."

Suddenly, a car starts gradually coming down the street. Steve puts down Tiffany and walks closer.

The car had two men wearing black suits and goggles in it whispering to each other, guns on the dashboard. It wasn't a regular cop car, either. Steve runs inside, quickly picks up Tillian and runs back out the door. Karen sees Steve's panic and runs after him.

Once they get back outside, they see the men getting out of the car with their guns.

"Stop there!" One of them yells.

Karen starts crying, as so did Tillian, and Steve looked in shock, thinking about what he could do to save them.

Tiffany realizes the situation and steps in the men's path and gets in and stands tall and hands in fists.

"Tiffany, you little cunt, come here-" Karen spits.

"Hello there, sweetheart." The man says, nicely "I believe you are-"

Tiffany lets out a loud "LAA", sending the two men flying, guns flying even farther.

"LET'S GO!" Steve screams, running while holding Tillian tightly, but not enough to hurt her. Karen and Tiffany right behind him.

Another car appears.

"That's the guy selling us the house! Get in!" Steve cries out. Karen steals the front seat and Steve gets in the back and scoots in the middle to make room for Tiffany, but before she could make it, more cop cars come and the men Tiffany got already had their weapons back and we're headed at her.

"STEP ON IT!" Karen screams at the top of her lungs. The driver, out of fear, steps on the gas and the car speeds off, slamming the door shut and leaving Tiffany behind.

"NO!!!!" Steve screams, cradling Tillian and looking out the back window at Tiffany. Who tries to run after the car, but gets grabbed and dragged away by two police officers. The car the rest of the family was in turned a corner, so Steve couldn't see her anymore. He just fell silent as he held his crying infant in his arms.

"Well, " Karen says after a little while, "at least we still have the normal one."

The driver shakes his head, his eyes also full of tears. Karen notices this and rolls her eyes. "She was a mistake anyways."

"Karen," Steve says, bluntly.

"What!"

"You're the only and worst mistake I've ever made in my entire life."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration."

"Most of the problems I've ever had were because of you. I love my children and they mean everything to me. You, Karen, I wish I never met. Now I'm stuck with you and I'm never going to see the daughter I RAISED ever again. And it's all your fault."

Karen just stares at him through the rearview mirror. "Well, " she finally says "You wouldn't have had those kids if it won't for me. The first one wasn't even your sperm."

Steve fumes as Karen watches the road in front of her.
