I do not own Artemis Fowl.

If anyone had walked by at that moment they would have seen a caravan of tourists, one seemingly pregnant, making their way towards an unknown destination. That was very unlikely however because not many people visited this part of the Antarctic. The tourists were actually a small group of Artemis Fowl's hired help. The pregnant woman was actually Mandi Huttle, and she was not pregnant merely carrying a child under her many layers of clothing to keep it warm.

"You're such an idiot Fowl! Who brings such a young child to the South Pole!"

Artemis ignored the insults stared forward. He knew that there a checkpoint somewhere in the distance and he was determined to get there before sundown.

He had equipped his men with the finest technology to keep themselves warm during this trek but they had somehow managed to get frostbite on a few toes and fingertips. They would have to end their journey at the checkpoint and be carted off to a hospital for amputation.

No one talked much, partly from being to cold and partly from exhaustion. They were all looking forward to a break from the constant chill. About an hour later a dot appeared on the horizon. As they got closer they saw it was in the shape of a building and began to move more quickly across the barren landscape. When the group reached the small village of supply shacks they all became much more lively very quickly. Mandi pealed off her outer jackets and got a bottle of formula for a fussy baby. Butler had taken the drivers seat and Artemis was in the middle drinking tea.

"Would you care for some tea Miss Huttle?" he inquired of the girl. She looked up from the feeding baby and raised an eyebrow.

"That's okay..."

"And you Butler?"

"Oh for goodness sakes Fowl, give it up." Mandi said, temper flaring.

"Excuse me?"

"Quit with the condescending rich kid act, it's annoying."

"Miss Huttle, as a member of the wealthier part of society you must know that with this wealth comes certain class that others may, well, lack to put it kindly."

"Shut your trap would you!" she yelled, fed up with it. "Just because you're rich doesn't mean you're better than anyone."

Artemis was now interested "What do you mean?"

Mandi rolled her eyes, suppressing a scream. He was doing this on purpose, he had to be doing this on purpose.

"Perhaps you are right Miss Huttle. Perhaps I have been wrong in my thinking, crumpet?" he asked, offering her a plate of food. Without a word she turned towards the window.


They sat in silence for a long time, nothing audible above the howling wind outside. The baby had finally gone to sleep after being burped several times. As Mandi stared at the small creature in her arms she let her mind do something it rarely ever did. Wander.

Why does it feel like I know this kid? Since the first time she heard it's cry she knew it was her's to protect. And since the first time she held it she knew there was something more to it besides having a mysterious origin.

Kind of like me. She admitted. A wanderer no one ever knows. Don't worry, I won't let that happen to you...

She admitted.

"Diana." she said aloud, without think. Artemis, who had been deep in thought, looked over at the interruption.

"What was that Miss Huttle?"

"The baby's name...it's Diana." she repeated, curious as to how she knew that herself.

"Excuse me? Have you finally decided to name it?" Artemis asked, a bit perturbed by the insignificance of this conversation compared to what had been on his mind previously.

Mandi shot him a glare. "No, that's her name. I'm not sure how I know it exactly but...ever since I found her that name has been drifting in and out of my thoughts every time I go to see her. I thought of naming her and Diana kept coming into my mind like...like I had no right to give her any other name. Do you know why she is named Diana?" Mandi inquired of Artemis, wanting to see if he had figured it out like she had.

"No." he stated, bored with the subject.

"Here." Mandi said, shifting the baby so she could place it in his protestingarms.

He didn't like how this had turned."No, I don't think so Miss-" Before he could say anything else the baby was laying gently in his arms.

He had to admit he hadn't held the baby as of yet, only tried to find it's origin. Now as he held it he felt some sort of strange connection forming, coursing from little Diana into him and he knew.

"She's a twin." he said, amazed. Mandi smiled and nodded.

"I'd think you'd like the name Artemis."

Artemis smiled. He didn't smirk, didn't grimace, but gazed at the sleeping child in his arms and smiled. "Yes, I do."

"The question now is," Mandi said, puzzled again. "where is the one that makes the pair?"

Diana is the Roman name of the Greek goddess Artemis
