Chapter 4

Ceara sat in the chair in the corner of the room watching her daughters chest raise then fall over and over again.

The memory of what happened the day she left here haunted her mind.

Ceara had just gotten out of the doctors office when she stopped at the park by her house to sit and think.

She had known Lex since they were both five years old. They had started dating when they were freshmen in high school. Now they were twenty years old.

The doctor told her she was pregnant. That she was two months along.

She had gone to the doctor because she had skipped this months' period. She was worried. She never expected this.

"Ceara?" She heard a familiar voice say her name.

She turned around and met eye to eye with green eyes. "Dick!" She through her arms around his neck. "What are you doing in Metropolis?" She pulled back. "Aren't you supposed to be in Gotham with Bruce Wayne?"

"I was coming to visit you and dad." He looked at the bench next to them. "Let's sit." He pointed to it. So she sat down. "How is everything?"

"Well, dad isn't very please with me." Ceara said as she looked away from him.

"What did you do this time, Ara?" He forced her to look at him.

"I moved in with Lex three months ago." She looked him in the eyes.

"Ceara! You now how much dad hates Mr. Luther." He eyes turned angry. "How could you put him through that? He's just trying to keep you sa..." He was cut off.

"I'm pregnant!" She said looking away again.

"I'm gonna be an uncle?" He said with excitement.

Ceara looked up at him weird. 'He's happy?' She thought to herself. 'Why isn't he turning and walking away from me. Dad's not the only one who hates Lex. Dick hates Lex because dad does.' "You're happy?" She looked at him weird.

Dick quickly gave a peck on the corner of her mouth and hugged her. "Yes I'm happy! Just because dad hates Lex doesn't mean I have to. I've never even met you lover boy." He said in her ear.

The words 'lover boy' rang through her head. Ceara turned a light shade of red. Then she hugged her brother as a 'think you for understanding me.'

Lex was driving by when he saw Ceara walk through the park. He pulled over and got out to follow her. Suddenly she turned around and hugged some guy. They sat down and talked. Then the guy kissed her. It was quick but he kissed Lex's girlfriend. Lex was pissed off. He turned, got back in his car and drove back to the pint house.

When Ceara finally got home, she called to Lex. There was no answer. "Lex!" She trade again when she got further in. He was usually home at this time of day. She walked to their bedroom door. When she opened it, Lex was sitting there on bed. "Lex, I called you twice." He still didn't say anything. She walked over to him and got on the bed. She knelt behind him and massaged his shoulders. "Had a bad day honey?" She asked as she stopped and rapped her arms around him.

Lex took her arms off him and stood up. He walked over to the wall and punched it to take his anger out.

Ceara jumped back. Lex never got this mad. What happened to him? "Lex, what's wrong with you?"

Lex turned around to look at her. "You don't really love me do you?"

Ceara was taken back by the question. "Of course I do. You know I love you!" She took up and walked to him.

"You love my money." He said when she reached him. 'That's it. She was with that guy because she loves my money and not me. Or that would have been me.'

Ceara stepped back. "Money? Why would I love your money?" A tear came to her eye. "Money can't hold me Lex. You do! Money doesn't make me happy. Someone to love me does." She took another step back. "Why would you think I don't love you?" She asked very angry.

"I saw you Ceara! I saw you kissing that guy in the park today." Lex said even angrier than before.

"Guy?" She said softly. She thought back to when she was at the park. The only guy she was with was her brother.

"About three hours ago, you were locking lips with some guy on the park bench." Lex couldn't believe she would do this to him.

Finally it came to her. When she told her brother she was pregnant, he gave her a peck on the check. "We were locking lips Lex."

"Then what was it?" He looked her in the eyes.

"He gave me a peck on the check." Ceara couldn't believe Lex was doing this. He's jealous of my little bother. "He's my brother!"

Lex turned and walked out of the room. 'How can she just lie to my face like that?' He thought as he walked into the living room. "Brother!?" He laughed at the thought. "You don't have a brother." He said as he saw her walk in the living room behind him. "You're an only child Ceara!"

"When my mother left me and my dad, she was pregnant with my brother. When she died last years, he went and lived with Bruce Wayne." She tried to calm down as she explained.

"Liar! Leave, I don't want to see you again." Lex said and turned and pointed to the door.

Tears clouded her sight as she walked to the door. She opened it, and turned to Lex. "I'm not lying. I'm telling you the truth, Lex."

Lex turned and walked back to the room. "Leave!" He said over his shoulder.

Ceara turned and shut the door behind her. She leaned against the door and cried.

That night was the last time she saw Lex. Then she met Colin a few years later and tried to get over Lex. She thought she was until Colin asked her to marry him. 'Why did I say no? He's a great guy! He loved Cassidy very much and would have made a great father for her.' She thought to herself.

Ceara put her hand up to her chest as she felt pain. "Not again!" She said as she doubled over off the chair and hit the floor with a big thump.
