Note: Once again, sorry to took me so long, this will be the last chapter. I know that there out of character but it's hard to make this seem very in character when it's a dilemma that would most likely not happen in the series, you know? Anyways, hope you still like it and please review!
Chapter Ten: I Love You
It was now close to midnight. Minerva was now long gone onto the plane to France, everyone in the Fowl manor was asleep and Artemis was packing his bags like a madman. For once in Artemis's life nothing was going planned or at least what he had somewhat expected.
I mean, if you would have came up to Artemis (the evil twelve year old genius who's pet peeve was to kidnap a fairy) and asked him if he could see himself dating Juliet. He would say no. If he would get drunk? No. With her? No. If he where to get Juliet pregnant, causing her to get fired and let her cry on the side of the road waiting for him to make the biggest decision of his life? …
That question, sadly still remains un-answered.
Artemis zipped up his black duffle bag, grabbed the jacket of his suit and made his way slowly downstairs.
He wrote no note, as he hadn't made up his decision yet. He figured that while he was walking he would plan it all out. Then (if he decides to leave) then Juliet (with her great techniques in sneaking around and fighting) she could slip a note on his nightstand for him.
The Artemis's dismay it was pouring rain outside and caused him to shiver slightly as he walked down the street. Thunder roared away into the distance and Artemis ran faster and faster just trying to get this misery over and done with.
Then he had finally made it to the bridge. There he saw Juliet with her hood above her head and her wet hand clutching onto her opposite sides for warmth.
He walked over to her and placed a soft, wet hand on her shoulder with caused her to turn.
A large smile spread on her face and she saw Artemis and lunged towards him to capture him into a deep embrace, which he gladly returned.
"Artemis. I've missed you so much." She whispered into his ear.
"I've missed you too." He whispered back to her.
After a long moment they broke away from the hug and Juliet looked at him.
"Are you ready to go?" She asked softly. You could tell that she was saying the words, but that she didn't quite believe in them.
"Do you really want to do this Juliet?" He asked cautiously.
Juliet looked down at the wooden planks of the bridge.
"No…but Artemis, it's for the best-"
"The best for who?" He practically shouted at her, not giving her a chance to speak. I mean, you would be cranky too if someone you loved asked you to throw away your entire life just for them.
Juliet looked at him with tear-ruimmed eyes at his sudden out burst. But that didn't cause him to stop.
"Juliet you are being so selfish! To think that I would throw away my hole life, my hole life! I mean, my parents, my house, my life, Butler, your brother. I want to be with you I really do but…"
Juliet turned her back to him and buried her head into her hands as she bawled her eyes out. He was right. What was I thinking? She thought.
Artemis looked her crying and felt very bad for what he said. He walked in front of her and gently took away her hands from her face and tangled them into his own. He pressed his forehead onto hers and looked deeply into her pale blue eyes.
"I'm sorry…" She cried. "I-I shouldn't of…"
"Juliet…" said Artemis softly as he smiled weekly at her. He leaned forward and placed a soft kiss onto her lips. "I love you." He said softly as they broke apart.
Juliet looked at him with a dazed expression before she answered. "I love you to."
They stood in that positron for a while, just enjoying each other's company.
"We're being very stubborn about this whole situation." Said Artemis as he chuckled slightly.
"Yea, we are." She laughed back. They where glad that they could find some humor out of this situation.
"Juliet…let's talk this over with my mother. I'm sure that if you agree to do your work and I agree to not bother you at your work then we could all live in the manor, and raise our baby there…that way nobody will have to leave anything behind."
Juliet smiled at him weekly as she pulled him into yet another strong embrace.
"I like that plan." She whispered into his ear.
They stood there hugging each other strongly, knowing that everything would be perfect. And as for Minerva? Artemis has decided to leave that tiny little detail out of the picture. Hey, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
