MidnightSafari

stands up straight, exuding confidence Officer, I want to cooperate fully with your investigation, but I need you to understand that I did what I had to do to protect my baby's life. It was self-defense, plain and simple. And I have witnesses who can corroborate my story. Piutor: puts away his notepad and pen Ma'am, thank you for cooperating.
MidnightSafari
i turn to you and hug you
returns the hug tightly, tears in her eyes Thank god you're safe, baby. I was so scared... I thought I lost you... But you're here now, and that's all that matters.
MidnightSafari
