Guys sorry that this might seen a little rushed and a bit worse then the last chapter, but I found it hard to write and I was trying to get this up before I left. But I still hope you enjoy it and please review as usual!

Chapter 3:

Astrid watched her boyfriend walk off. She smiled. She had loved the last month. At first it had been strange, going out with the same boy who had tried to kill herself and Sam and so many others, but the more time she spent with him the more she came to love him.

She still felt guilty for leaving the lake. She had just run off when she saw Sam bleeding on the deck of their houseboat. She felt guilty for not calling anyone when she saw him. Instead she had run away. She had spent two days on the road before she decided where to go. Before she had decided to go to Caine.

Most days she wondered what Sam would say if he were still alive. He'd probably hate her. Hate her and hate Caine, if that was even possibly for him to hate Caine more then before.

She turned around a began to walk back the way she had come only minutes before. The fake sun was shining in her eyes. She couldn't see much ahead if her so when the boy called out to her she couldn't make out his face, but she recognised the voice straight away.

"Astrid!." Sam called out.

Caine walked happily towards town hall even though if you walked past him you wouldn't know. He wore a his usual frown and scowled at people as they walked past. But inside he was overjoyed. And depressed. He didn't want a child. He wanted Astrid. But instead he got Astrid and a child. It wasn't even his and Astrid's child. It was his and Diana's child.

He would have to tell Astrid soon. Otherwise she would start thinking up reasons why he didn't tell her sooner. He would tell her later. After the meeting.

"Yeah, later" he whispered to himself.
