Holly's POV
"HOLLY! ARTEMIS IS BUYING CONDOMS for your escapades…"
"So. They're condoms, Foaly. Unless you want me pregnant!"
Foaly was scared of the possibility of Holly being pregnant only because of the repercussions of keeping it a secret from the Council. If they found out, it would be instant decommissioning and the child would learn what hell was at an early age.
Artemis's POV
At home, Artemis now hid his newly bought box of condoms under his bed for later, maybe even tonight if Holly gets a shuttle pass. Artemis was a new man, his revival had made him realize his life is short and he needed to enjoy every little thing. Especially love and family.
Holly's POV
Holly was at the door of Commander Kelp and was preparing herself to request a shuttle pass because she now knew Artemis had plans to make love to her. She and Artemis hadn't been together long after his revival, maybe a month, but they had loved each other for years and were ready to take the final step in consummating their relationship, even if they weren't married.
She knocked to make sure Kelp wouldn't interpret this as Holly just wanting to get above land so she could screw her boyfriend. Sadly, Kelp knew of their relationship and Holly even thought Foaly had narked on her. But whatever, she would get her pass and go.
Holly could now see Fowl Manor in the horizon, and prayed Artemis was still awake at eleven at night. No doubt he would be and she saw him on his laptop when she softly tapped on his window. Ha! She had startled him from whatever reprieve he was in that made him so unobservant.
Artemis opened the window and immediately attacked her face, swaying her with kisses to his bed. Holly knew what was on his mind and couldn't help feeling the same.
Butler's POV
Butler heard that window open and close, and knew Holly was here, either that or Artemis was now gone. He was on his way to check and was five feet from the cherry wood door when he heard their moans. Moans of pleasure or pain? Butler questioned that until he heard the small female scream and almost busted down the door.
"Wait, Arty, give me a second. Ah. Finally, you can move."
Butler was mortified, he had almost walked in on two virgins start to make love. Not something he wanted to see, he'd had a few walk-ins on Mr. and Mrs. Fowl, as well once catching Artemis once jacking off, and he thought Artemis had learned his lesson then and there to either lock his door or take it somewhere else.
Artemis's POV
Next morning…
Artemis went to empty the trash can in his room for it was becoming full. Holly was still blissfully asleep in bed from their night of romance. Artemis loved the look of her looking so much like an angel coming down from a heavenly high. Artemis turned to the door and in a speedy glance saw what was on top of his trash heap. The used condom, but he only now noticed the small tear at the top…
No. He could not be a father at eight-fucking-teen.
And especially not with the mother now being Holly Short. Foaly fucking jinxed us.
