Breeding Grounds

She didn’t breed as expected, she loved her children and acted as if she loved the men she was forced to lay with. As much as it hurt, she was determined to bring the love that was forever in her genetic imprint from the love of her family left behind. Her babes were strapped to her body, no matter where she went or what she was doing, it was important for her skin to touch theirs. She was convinced that this would show any child the comfort of being loved, even if just for a while. Would they remember after being sold? Would that first display of loving kindness and protection sustain them, numb some of the heartache of abandonment though unavoidable? 

She wondered if it was possible to breed love, and bring a bit of something beautiful in bondage.
