A/N: I wrote this in an hour and it was a spur of the moment thing. And I wrote it just for fun.

Read and Enjoy!

"I must say, you were quite adventurous in the shower," Blade commented as they were getting dressed.

Diana winked as she dried her hair. "I told you it would be fun," she giggled. "Listen, I have a doctor's appointment today at five. Can you make it?"

"I have some things to take care of, but I'll make it," he answered. Diana walked up to him and kissed him.

"Great. I'm going to lunch with Melina and Chione." She kissed him again. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against him. "Or I could go later."

Blade smiled and leaned in to kiss her again. A knock sounded outside. Blade groaned in annoyance.

"Blade, the council wants to speak to you on the phone," Nikolus said from behind the door.

"I'm going to kill them," Diana growled. She opened the door and they joined Melina and Nikolus in the living room.

Melina sat sulking on the couch sipping coffee. Diana joined her.

"What's wrong, Mel? You look down," she asked concerned.

"I just found out that Nikolus slept with someone who I considered a friend," she muttered sadly.

"When was this?"

"Years ago, but it still hurts," Melina said and put her coffee down.

"Who was it?" Melina's demeanor changed immediately. She inched away from Diana.

"What?!" Diana asked clueless. Blade walked into the room.

"Hey Blade, ask Diana how many men she's slept with. And ask her who they were," Melina challenged. Diana cringed. Now she knew whom Melina was talking about.

Blade raised his eyebrow curiously. "I have been curious. Diana?"

Diana's jaw dropped in horror. "You asshole! How dare you?!" she screamed. Something told Blade that that was the wrong move.

Nikolus just so happened to walk in the room holding a file. "Here's the info you asked about, Blade. And why do those two look so hostile?"

"Nikolus, why don't you tell Blade who slept with several hundred years ago," Melina said glaring at him.

"Marie Antoinette? I thought you were over that by now," he said. This seemed to piss her off even more.

"No, I'm talking about when you slept with Diana and didn't tell me about it."

"You slept with Nikolus?!" Blade roared. Diana winced.

"It wasn't a big deal. We were drunk. He confessed his love for me. I wasn't using my best judgment. No biggie!" she rushed.

"Yeah sure. It's no big deal that you slept with someone you told me that you consider a brother," he yelled.

"Okay, Blade. How many women have you slept with and what are their names?" Diana countered. He opened his mouth to speak but closed it. He took into consideration that her elevated hormones might have something to do with this.

"You know what let's just forget the whole thing," he offered.

"I'm with you there. And you two," she said indicating Nikolus and Melina, "can work out your problems on your own time. I have a chocolate dessert with my name on it."

Blade followed her out the door.

"So how's the situation going with Blade?" Chione asked as she stirred sugar into her tea. They were at a local café with patio seats. Their bodyguards were sitting at a table nearby.

"We were able to work things out. He wants to be there for the baby, and he wants a relationship with me," she explained. She picked up a cracker on her plate and nibbled on it.

"Damn, I wished I had done that with Meneus," Chione said. Diana looked puzzled at that.

"My way wasn't the right way. Blade may have forgiven me, but he's never going to forget the fact that I tried to separate him from his child."

Chione sulked. "I know. I feel the same way. Being knocked up during an estranged relationship sucks."

"Here's to screwed up mothers," Diana said raising her glass. Chione clinked her glass with Diana's.

"Where the hell is he?" Diana said checking her watch. It was fifteen minutes past five. Blade was late.

She sat on the examination table in a two-piece hospital gown. The doctor had taken a blood sample and gone out to test it for abnormalities.

Blade entered through the door. He took off his jacket and dropped it on the chair.

"Sorry I'm late. I had some things to take care of," he said. Diana could smell gunpowder and ash on him.

"What were you doing?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing that you need to know about now," he said nonchalantly. The doctor entered.

"Hello there. Diana, we just ran tests and we should have them back tomorrow. For now we'll do the ultrasound." He reached for a drawer and opened it. He pulled out a tube of liquid.

"Okay. Lie down and lift your shirt up to reveal your stomach." Diana followed his directions. Blade was right by her side.

"This will feel a little cold,' he said as he squirted the jelly substance on her abdomen. He rubbed it around to spread it evenly. He turned on the sonogram and placed the transducer on her abdomen.

It took a minute, but an image appeared on the screen. There was small body outlined in the black. They could hear a thump-thump coming from the speakers.

"That's your baby. And the sound you hear is her heartbeat."

Blade was in awe. He'd seen the pictures she'd gotten from her previous appointments, but it was different seeing it up close. That was his baby in Diana's womb. His flesh and blood. His precious little princess.

"Wow," was all he could say. Diana turned to him and smiled.

"That's what I said the first time I saw her too," she said comfortingly. The doctor printed out the picture and turned off the machine. He handed the photo to Blade.

"Congratulations," he told Blade. He handed some paper towels to Diana, who wiped the jelly off her stomach.

"So what do you think?" Diana asked. Blade thought for a moment.

"I'm going to make sure my daughter will never date."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I know what goes through teenage guy's mind."

"But weren't you like that?"

"That's exactly why I'm doing it."
