Chapter 2 - Decisions and Confessions

Skelitor was in a really nasty mood and was taking it out on everyone. He pointed his staff at Beast-Man and zapped him for being late. Evil-Lyn was standing in the shadows in the throne room trying to formulate a plan of action, but blew it all away when she muttered under her breath 'I hope our baby don't take your temper.'

Not really hearing properly Skelitor turned heal and looked at her with blazing, ruby-glow eyes. "What was that Evil-Lyn?"

Lyn realising what she just said backed up a few steps, "nothing my lord, I didn't say anything."

"Oh it sounded like something to me." He moved closer to her, eyes getting more angry, causing her to back up and eventually trip onto the floor. "You'll tell me for everyone else to hear, what you said."

"I don't think--"

"YOU DON'T THINK! JUST TELL ME!"

"OK! I SAID I HOPE OUR BABY DOESN'T GET YOUR TEMPER!" She cried out that loud it could be heard all over the mountain.

Skelitor froze as the rest of the room looked at them with great interest. He dropped his staff in shock and the echo could be heard ringing throughout the room. He swallowed hard temporarily forgetting everyone else but the woman in front of him, "Your what?" He asked nervously.

"I'm now three months pregnant, with your child. Or do you not know where babies come from? And I have to explain that to you as well?" Lyn replied coolly, even though her heart was going a mile a minute.

When Skelitor heard a few muffled laughs he remembered where he was and turned around to the others. "GET OUT!" Not needing to be told twice they soon scurried away like mice. Unable to take much more Lyn started to uncharacteristically cry. To both their surprise Skelitor reached down a hand and helped her to her feet; pulling her into a warm embrace. "It's ok. You don't need to cry," he soothed, going on instinct.

Evil-Lyn gave her first genuine smile in a long time, and snuggled into his chest. At that instant she knew it was her Keldor she was talking to, not the thing he had turned into. "What am I going to do Keldor? I mean snake mountain is no place to raise a child."

Not sure who he was at that moment, Keldor or Skelitor, but there was one thing he was sure of, he really wanted this child. "I know but it's all we have right now Lyn." He tried not to laugh when a thought crossed his head, "besides with us for parents the poor kid probably be doing that much accidental magic he'd probably be better off here where we can keep an eye on him."

Lyn gave a little laugh, "when I was a little girl I accidentally turned all my fathers clothes pink, thinking how nice a colour I thought it was. He had to wear pink clothes for a week till he got new ones."

"Is that all? I had a nightmare when I was five, dreamed about a big giant purple dinosaur, that liked to sing and dance. Next thing I know I woke up and it was there dancing around my brother. Apparently I transformed his pillow into that thing... think it called it's self Barney." Skelitor cringed as he remembered those words; 'I love you, you love me, we are just one big happy family...'

Evil-Lyn shuddered at the thought of it. "So what happened?"

"The Elders managed to banish it. It's still at large in another universe somewhere."

"That really is evil, even for you."

"Worst of it is, I can't even see what damage my evil creation is doing." He pulled back a bit and stroked her cheek with one finger. "I will need an hare for when I take over and rule all of Eternia. Looks like fate has brought me one, and you back to me." He rubbed a finger over her lips to stop her from speaking, looking into her eyes. "When that time comes I want you to rule by my side as my queen. I always have, I just needed a little shove in the right direction. Can you forgive me for being so mean to you?"

'I can't believe my luck, if I go along with this I can get closer and closer to him. One day he'll let his guard down and I can overthrow him, and take over all Eternia at the same time.' Evil Lyn smiled sweetly at him, "I guess I can in time."

It was times like this Skelitor was glad he had no face, or else he'd be grinning from ear to ear. 'I can't believe she's falling for it. I can get her to be so sweet on me she won't even dream of betraying me.' But there was a niggling little voice in the back of his head that kept saying 'keep telling yourself that.'

3 Weeks Later...

The past 3 weeks have never been boring that's for sure. Evil-Lyn knowing full well as long as she is pregnant, Skelitor will not harm her, and has been doing as much she can to annoy him. So in return he has been finding ways to punish her with out putting her in any physical danger, and has been very amusing for the general population of Snake mountain. The situation was made even more amusing when they had decided to run off and elope in the middle of the night one day under magically created disguises. Each had an alternant motive to do with the deep magic the bond creates.

The Master's are still completely unaware of the situation between Evil-Lyn and Skelitor, which gave her an idea. Seeking her mate she found him in one of his labs. Moving up behind him, she unconsciously held on to her growing stomach. "I've come up with a plan that just might work."

He turned around and looked at his wife, "oh do tell darling."
