“C’mon doc, you know why,”

“Do people like me …have children?” She asked earnestly, eyes wide.

“Not really,” she twisted her mouth and peered at the ground in deep thought; her brows furrowed.
“And why is that? I think you’re doing well,” the doctor retorted with confidence.
“I killed its father,”
