Chapter Six

Diana

Diana tried to look at herself in the mirror. It was very dark, making the task nearly impossible. The only light in the room was coming from the small Sammy Sun in the corner. The little sun cast a sort of ominous, green glow over the entire room. It was creepy to say the least.

Diana couldn't really make out her facial features, but she could definitely see the small bump where it strained against the fabric of her shirt. Weird, Diana thought, yesterday her stomach had still been completely flat, and today it was definitely not. However, she was no expert on these things, so maybe that was just how it happened.

She shrugged, whatever, there was nothing she could do about it. She wasn't a doctor, and she definitely wasn't Lana. Diana was still staring at herself in the mirror when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Diana shouted. She tore herself away from her reflection. It was only making her upset.

Edilio opened the door and popped his head in.

"Hey," Diana said as she ran a brush through her bob length hair, "What can I do for you?"

Edilio didn't even greet her, instead he just jumped right to the chase. "You might want to hide."

"Why?" Diana asked, confused.

"He's here, and he is looking for you." Edilio said.

Diana's heart rate picked up, and she took a deep breath. She tried to slow down the frantic beating of her heart, but she failed. What was she going to do? Hide under the bed? If he found her, which she was sure he would, he would only be angrier. Diana had a plan that might work. She felt bold.

"Send him in then," Diana said to Edilio, "It's not like he knows the truth. Maybe he missed me and just came to visit."

Diana laughed a cold, hard laugh. Caine might say that he missed her. This was probably true. However, he probably didn't miss Diana's sunny personality. He just missed what she could give him. Diana's laugh cut off suddenly, it would only have been a matter of seconds until that laugh turned into sobs. She swallowed them back though because Diana could not show weakness. Not in front of him.

"Are you sure?" Edilio asked warily.

"Yes, If you wouldn't mind." Diana said politely.

"Uh okay." Edilio said, shutting the door on his way out.

He probably thought that she was a madwoman. Maybe she was, Diana thought. Diana went and changed her shirt. The tank top she had been wearing was tight, too tight. Caine would have known right away. She changed into a looser cut top. Diana had never really owned anything baggy. When you had a body like she did you didn't really want to cover it up with over-sized clothes. Diana could have slapped her old self. She would probably appreciate a few baggy t-shirts as her stomach expanded.

Only a few minutes had passed when she heart another knock on the door.

"Who is it?" She called even though she knew who it was.

"It's Caine." Said a strained voice on the other side of the door.

"Caine who?" Diana said. She probably shouldn't play with him, but she couldn't help herself. It was a habit.

"Would you just let me in," Caine said obviously annoyed, "Please." He threw in at the end.

Diana sighed. "It's open." She yelled.

She heard the sound of the door opening, but she didn't turn. She was doing this meeting on her terms, not his. He had controlled her for a few years now, and enough was enough.

"Hello." He said awkwardly.

"Hi." Diana said, giving him nothing.

"How are y—" Caine began, but Diana cut him off.

"Do you just want to cut the crap and get on with what you want to say, thanks." Diana snapped. She hadn't been in a good mood all day, and this definitely wasn't helping matters. Diana turned around then and gave him a once over. The once over was long enough to make him feel uncomfortable. She saved his eyes for last. His piercing green eyes held fury, but behind that fury there was something else. Sympathy maybe? An actual god forsaken human emotion? Impossible, Diana thought. Caine was unable to feel such emotions.

"Are you going to ask me something, or did you just come here to stare at me? If so take a picture, it will last longer."

Diana couldn't help the snarky comments. They just kept coming. Diana looked at Caine again. He was angry, she could tell. If any other person were to have said that to Caine, he would have probably sent them flying. However, he would never do something like that to Diana. Sure he would threaten, but he would never follow through.

"I've been hearing some rumors." Caine said.

"Really," Diana began, "From who? Your friend the gaiaphage?"

Caine flinched, but he didn't waver. "No actually," He said, "I've sent Bug up here a couple of times. As you know, he makes a very good spy."

"You sent that little troll to spy on me?" Diana spat indignantly.

"Yes," Caine said as a smile crept onto his lips, "Or should I say both of you?"

Diana's breath caught in her throat. He knows! Of course he knows… A long silence followed as Diana tried to collect her scattered thoughts.

"I'm taking your silence for a yes." Caine said confidently, mustering up some of that old charm.

"And if it were true," Diana began, "Whose saying the baby is yours'?"

That caught him off guard. It gave Diana a moment to regroup.

"Oh please," She could tell his confidence was breaking, but he still continued. "As if any of the guys up here would be so stupid. They know that you are mine."

"You do not own me, Caine." Diana spat each word angrily. "You forgot about Sam, he could take you. What if the baby is his?"

Caine looked at her then and she froze. She had always thought that Caine was handsome. His dark hair and green eyes had always attracted him to her. Then his power and charm had done the rest. They had been inseparable. Diana wasn't sure when it had turned into love, but it had. She had to admit that she loved him, she always would, but right now she was confused. He wasn't a good person, but if he wasn't the right guy, who was? Diana wasn't exactly winning any awards for her behavior anyways.

"It's not Sam's." Caine said.

"What?" Diana asked. She had forgotten what she had asked him in the first place.

"The baby," Caine began, "I know that it's not Sam's."

"How do you know?" Diana asked.

"Bug said that he heard Sam call the baby his niece or nephew. Being that I am Sam's only brother, the child has to be mine." Caine smiled wryly.

"It's yours." Diana said in barely more than a whisper.

She watched Caine intently. A huge smile spread across his face. He attempted to hide it, but it was definitely there. This made Diana smile. Caine looked at her then, his piercing green eyes happy for once. He crossed the small room and stretched out his hand towards her.

"What are you doing?" Diana asked.

"May I?" Caine asked gesturing towards her stomach.

"Sure." Diana said.

She was taken aback, Caine never asked permission. Ever. Caine stretched his hand out and touched Diana's stomach. He smiled, kind of crazily. It was a weird expression, one Diana had never seen before. After a moment he drew back his hand and looked up at her.

"So, when are you moving back to town?" Caine asked suddenly.

"Pardon?" Diana was shocked yet again.

"You are moving back to town right?" The bold Caine was gone. In his place was the awkward teenage boy who couldn't really talk to girls.

"No." Diana said firmly.

"Why not?" Caine asked suddenly angry, "This baby is just as much mine as it is yours!"

Diana was at a loss for words. "Yeah, you are right Caine, this kid is half yours. However, I'm not going to throw our baby through a wall or encase his hands in cement. I'm never going to make him eat human flesh, I'm n—"

Caine cut her off. "Do you think I enjoyed doing those things?" Caine said furiously, "I did those things for you!"

"No you didn't," Diana held her ground, "You did those things because you need to be in charge. You are an egotistical jerk Caine! Always have been. I stuck around though because I cared about you. I shouldn't have, I really shouldn't have. You are sick inside Caine, sick. But back then I was only hurting myself. Well, newsflash it isn't just about me anymore."

Diana wasn't sure when her rant had turned into sobs, but it did. She tried to stifle them, but they came in a torrent. Running down her face while Caine stood there motionless.

"Diana, I love you." Caine said.

He sounded earnest, but she didn't believe him. He would say whatever he needed to say in order to get what he wanted. It had worked last time, but Diana was stronger now. She knew better.

"I wish I could believe you Caine," She said, "But I don't. It wouldn't be the first time you lied to me."

Caine was frustrated now. His plan had fallen apart at the seams. "What do I have to do to prove it to you? When will you move back to Perdido Beach?"

Diana thought for a moment. How could he really, truly, honestly prove it to her? Then she remembered. Toto! He had a sort of built in lie detector. If Caine confessed his love for her in front of him, then Toto could tell her if he was lying or not.

"If you say those exact three words in front of Toto and he says that you are not lying, then I will go back with you. If you cannot do this then I will not."

"But –" Caine began but Diana cut him off.

"Now go," She said, "Whenever you are ready come and get me. See you then."

Caine balled his hands into fists. He couldn't fight this. He could have force her to go, use his powers and drag her all the way back to town, but he didn't. Diana was winning this battle at the moment, now all she had to do was wait. Caine really had to do some soul searching if he ever wanted to see his child.
