Behind These Colored Eyes

“Hey sweetheart, you OK?”
“Yeah. I'm just thinking again.” she replied with a sigh at the end.
“You know you don't have to do it if you don't want to.”
“But I do, its just that I'm worried that I'm infertile like the others,” she said letting a tear out. “I want to be able to have a child of our own.”
“Don't worry about that, we will have our child. The book said that when two are profoundly in love that they will be able to produce a child. One of them has to be sure of it and the other has to have doubts about it or it won't work,” I said as I wiped her tear away from her porcelain skin. “I love you and you love me. I'm sure we will have the child and you are worried about it. We just have to wait for the war to be over and we could live happily for the rest of our lives.”
“You know what you're right.” she said as she was closing her eyes, blocking my view from the two most precious marbles ever created.
“Hey, did I ever tell you the story of colored eyes?”
“No.”
“Well there was once a time in which all eyes were the same color, a dark brown, but then one day a baby was born with a different color and another and another and so on. No one knew what this meant but they said that the babies with colored eyes couldn't see any colors other than black, white, and different shades of gray. No one was able to confirm this-”
“Wait but I'm able to see in all colors,” she said interrupting my explanation.
“Like I was saying. No one was able to confirm this since they were just wild assumptions trying to make themselves feel superior to the color eyed babies. Years later when the first baby was able to communicate with the dark brown eyed people he explained that he as well was able to see in colors. This created an imbalance in the eyes of the 'normal' and they relocated the colored eyes in a land inhabited by any humans. The children were left alone to fend for themselves in this never before civilized place, when an angel from above came to help them prosper-”
“You mean aliens?” she asked leaning her head against my chest.
“Yes aliens, but we thought them as angels at the time. These 'angels' were the guardians of the children because it was from them that they children came from, the children were actually a hybrid of humans and angels giving the best features of both species to the children. The angels saw this act of abandonment as barbaric and shared their far superior technology, compared to the normal people's, to allow the children to prosper in a way no other civilization ever had before. Soon the children were grown ups and were populating the land and expanding in a rate in which that they met up with the civilization that abandoned them. An elder of that civilization recognized the oldest of them and ordered the execution of this undesirable race. Wars raged for years and the hybrid species lost because they weren't a civilization prepared for war. It was amazing surviving so long without fighting back. Few were able to escape at the end and start a new life-”
“You have one dark brown eye and one colored eye. Where do you come from then?”
“My great great grandfather helped the few colored eyed people escape from the war and he helped them establish a new civilization. He was the only dark brown eyed person to help your kind and I have one dark brown eye as tangible proof that he existed. This new civilization didn't have much peace until the dark eyed people started to attack them that is why you and I are here hiding. We have to make it till the end to start all over but don't feel pressured that's all.”
“How do you know this story by the way? And the book you talk about, how do you read it?”
“Well I know this story from the book I talk about.”
“Where is this book? I don't doubt you its just that you talk about it but I've never seen it.” she said looking wary as if I would have been offended.
“I carry it with me at all time,” I said taking it out “here look.”
“You don't mind?” she said as she grabbed it.
“Go for it.”
“The book is blank.” she said looking at me strangely.
“Yeah only those with dark brown eyes could
