Twenty years from now… That’s a tough one. Sort of. No, it isn’t. In twenty years I’ll still be with Rachel. We’ll have a life of our own. Maybe even have a cabin somewhere outside of Seattle. Don’t get me wrong I like the Berrisford Mansion but I’d want something that’s solely mine and Rachel’s. That place… it belonged to her old man. A man that didn’t particularly like me. But that’s in the past now.

Maybe by then I’ll even be a dad. Although… that’s kind of scary in its own right. Me? A dad. But I’d protect them with my life and hopefully they’ll not have barcodes. Not have to worry about dealing with the idiots of the world that us transgenics had to deal with. Maybe by then the transgenics will have equal rights. But I won’t be holding my breath on that one.

There’s no telling what’ll happen twenty years from now. Hopefully I’ll be happy and so will Rachel and the rest of the transgenic world. Because even if twenty years pass or hell… thirty its her that I’ll want to make happy. And I’m sure I’ll find a way to accomplish that and keep it that way. It’d be the perfect thing to have twenty years from now.
