[ Things he never wanted to be doing, and never thought he'd be doing: Changing an alien baby's diaper. He doesn't think he's ever seen ... waste material so green and so strangely odorless. It's one of those things you push to the back of your mind until the image pokes its head out randomly to haunt you. Anyway, since everything faded to black, it's over. The old diaper has been thrown away and he's holding a clean baby again. If anything is a consolation, it's that.
The sudden forced memories are nothing but whiplash, compared to what he just had to deal with. Immediately, he starts seeing the life that they had together - the love and safety he had apparently felt when with Vane that he had never felt anywhere else. It warms him in a strange way, and that only makes him feel more indignant because he knows it's all fake. There's also that one very important detail ... ]
Idiot. Don't get sucked up into it. Remember that this is a simulation. [ Even if there was something oddly endearing about the way Vane tried to take his hand.
Now, back to that one important detail that they are missing. ] And how the hell did we have this child?! We're both men!
[ The simulation promptly ignores him and continues on. No reason two dudes can't have a baby in space. ]
