Hey guys, I don't know why I'm doing another one since I can barely work on those I already have, but here's another fic for ya'll, it's a Halo one since I've been play a lot of the games lately. lol just yesterday i beat the 3rd game from beginning to end in just under 7 hours.

Chapter 1: Future Memories

'How long has it been'

Former Smart AI CTN 0452-9 thought this as she watched the man before her cradle a small newborn in his arms.

A small smile graced Cortana's face as she allowed her mind to wonder into memories.

So much had happened since she'd been introduced to Spartan John-117, so much had happened since the war with the Covenant, their adventures with the Halo Rings and the Flood, the Ark. So much had happened since Reach.

Cortana's grin widened a large amount hen she heard the baby start to coo as its father wiggled a finger above the reach of its arms, the man's attempts at making funny faces. Cortana gave him an 'A' for the effort, but a 'C-' for overall execution. At the best they looked like worried grimaces. It made her giggle.

The sound of her voice made the man look over to her. "What's so funny?" he asked. His voice was bland, almost emotionless. But it wasn't the voice that spoke to Cortana as she looked at him. It was his eyes. Those grey eyes spoke of more then just words to her, they spoke of pain, anger and many more emotions. But the one that stood out the most was the love in them. Both for her and the child in his arms. Those same eyes were probably the most alive part of her husband there was. But they were also a major factor into how she'd fallen for him in the first place.

Cortana mentally sighed, John wasn't always the best at emotions. Then again, neither was she, but they were getting better. Together.

"Nothing," she smiled. Gracefully, she walked over to her husband and looked down at the child he was holding.

Her son smiled up to her and cooed again. His eyes, the same shade as her own, sparkled with innocence and wonder that only a child that young could have.

'Oh yeah.' Cortana returned the baby's smile as she gently removed him from John's hold. The man himself simply let her take him, but his eyes stayed fixed on the two as Cortana moved around the room, rocking the child with her arms. 'Its been eight years.

Eight years since she had met John-117.

Eight years since the war with the Covenant and the first Halo Ring.

But only two had passed since Cortana had been reborn.

Two years since Cortana had become human.

CUT!
