Allie giggled as she stirred the cookie dough and Diana used the cookie to make shapes from another batch of dough. They were both covered in flour. Some where shaped like hearts and others shaped like butterflies. They had taken one of Alfred's cooking books and decided to bake cookies. The more time they spent together the less angry they would get at each other and would stop arguing. It might have changed around the time Allie found out Diana was pregnant. Allie never had siblings, but the thought of having one made her heart fill with joy, even if she wasn't biologically related to it.
Diana, however, worried about having the baby. What if they all found out that it wasn't Bruce's child? What would they do to her? They'll probably hate her even more. It's not like she didn't want this child. In matter of fact it thrilled her, but she was had this feeling that something awful might happen to her or the child. She would rarely go out anymore in fear of being hurt by someone in the street like the Joker or Mario.
She didn't want anything to happen to the person who was the closest thing she had of Derek. Every night she would lay in bed thinking about him. She hasn't seen him in five months ever since her father, Adrian, kicked him out of his house. Sometimes she would cry herself to sleeping and other times she would think of leaving all of this behind and run away with him, but that she was always afraid what her father might do to them if they secretly run away.
Diana's relationship with Bruce was simply platonic or maybe even less. They were like strangers living together. He was barely at home and when he was he would either play with Allie or be in his office. She never knew what he did staying out so much, but sometimes she'll get a feeling that he was cheating on her with Belinda. Diana really didn't care anymore. She regretted ever trying to separate Lily and him from the beginning, and she wasn't going to interfere anymore with Bruce's love life.
"Mrs. Wayne," said Alfred coming in the doorway.
"Yes, Alfred," she said, laughing as Allie licked the spoon after pouring the last batch of cookie dough on the tray.
"Lt. Parker is here to see you," he said. Diana almost dropped the spoon in her hand and felt the air leave her lungs.
Allie noticed Diana's sudden discomfort. "Didi, are you OK?" she asked.
Diana smiled weakly at her. "I-I'm fine. Alfred, please take Allie up to her room while I go greet our guest," she said.
"But what about the cookies?" whined Allie.
"He won't be here for long, Allie. We'll continue once he's gone, alright?" she said
Allie nodded, but still had a frown on her face and let Alfred take her up to her room. Diana took a deep breath and made her way to the living room. She felt her eyes sting seeing Derek's back facing her. His clothes were more different, more sophisticated.
Derek heard Diana move behind him and he immediately turned. The glamorous girl he had met over a year ago wasn't the same girl he was seeing in front of him. She was wearing normal clothes, her hair was hanging messily in a pony tail, and she barely had makeup on while her face was covered in flour. She was still beautiful in his eyes and how he loved her.
With long strides, Derek walked to her and cupped her face, kissing her deeply. Diana was shocked at the intrusion, but the fear of getting caught soon left her mind and began to kiss him back. She opened her mouth and gladly let him explore her mouth with his tongue. His skin felt like it burn as it touched hers and the passion that was asleep for so long began to stir inside her again.
Derek groaned silently as his hands touched her body, but he soon stopped cold in his track and looked at Diana in shock. His hand moved slowly towards her belly noticing a bump in her stomach. Diana licked her bruised lips as she watched Derek's reaction.
"Diana," he whispered.
She shook her head. "I'm sorry, Derek," she said.
"Is it mine?" he asked. "How far along are you?"
"Five months," she said.
Derek silently did the math and it again made him shiver. "Is it mine?" he repeated again only louder this time.
Diana sighed looking sadly at him. "Yes, it is," she confessed.
He shook his head trying to make sense of all of this. "When did you find out about this? Why didn't you tell me?" he said, slipping away from her as he walked to sit down on the couch.
"I found out two months ago," she said.
"And you let Wayne believe it was his?!" he said angrily.
Diana trembled as she sobbed. "I'm sorry, Derek, but what was I suppose to do? You heard my father. I wanted to be with you I really did. I would give up everything that I own just to be with you, but my father would never let us be together. He would search till the end of the Earth to find us. I know that he has connections and even if you are part of the law, he will kill you. You think I would want to see something like that?! I love you too much to see that happen."
Derek stood up and walked over to her again. "Diana, don't do this to me," he said softly. "My heart aches every time I think that you are in Wayne's bed and not mine. I have tried to be strong and tried to forget you for so long, but it doesn't seem to be working. I can't stop loving you no matter how many times you walk over my heart."
"Derek," she said kissing him gently. "I don't share anyone's bed, but with you willingly. There's nothing between Bruce and I. He's in love with someone else and so am I."
"Then leave him," said Derek. "Leave him and come with me. I promise you that your father won't find you and we'll get married and have more kids than just this one."
Diana laughed softly. "Marry you?" she said. "That's crazy."
Derek smiled back. "People do crazy things when they're in love. Please, Diana be with me. I don't have a lot of money, but I just got moved up the rank, so I make more now. You'll never live so lavish like you do here, but I promise you'll be happy."
Diana felt swooned by his words. "OK," she whispered.
Derek's grin widened and kissed her. "I'll come back for you and then we'll be together. If I have to I'll confront your father, I'll do it."
Lily looked at the test with shaky hands. It had a small plus sign. Now she knew it wasn't food poising. She hadn't had her monthly flow in two months. At first she thought she was stressed, but checking furthermore wouldn't hurt. It did though. It gave her a heartache.
She was going to be a mom in seven months and she didn't know the first thing how to take care of a baby. Sure she was good with kids, but to actually take care of a tiny delicate creature that will cry for every little thing is too much, especially if she didn't know who the father was.
Lily had slept with both Bruce and Batman around the same time. The good side to all of this is that she was having a baby with either man that she loved. The problem was that one man was a vigilante that is wanted by the police and they couldn't be together because of his duty to protect Gotham. The other was married and his wife will soon have his child.
"What am I going to do?" she asked herself.
"Going to do about what?" Lily jumped and looked up at Sarah, who was standing by the doorway of the bathroom. Sarah looked at the pregnancy test in her hands, making her eyes go wide. "Lily," she whispered.
Lily sighed. "Yeah," she said.
"Who's the father?" asked Sarah.
Lily shrugged. "I don't know," she said.
"What do you mean you don't...? Oh! Both?" she said, realizing who she was talking about.
"Yeah. It was around the same time," she explained. "I don't know what to do," she said, covering her face in her hands.
"Tell them," said Sarah.
Lily shook her head. "Their lives are hectic enough already and with a baby, it'll only make things worse."
"Lily, look at me," said Sarah as she gently cupped her face. "They love you. I know this and you love them. I'm sure that they'll understand. Bruce will do anything to be with you and Batman... he'll protect both of you from everything and anything. Oh, Lily," she sighed. "I'm so happy that I have the same love from Dave as you have and what Cynthia has for Alex, but I'm sad that you don't share the same happiness that we do. No matter what, you know that we'll be here for you, every step of the way."
Lily smiled and hugged Sarah. "Thank you for everything."
Lorena walked through the streets of downtown Gotham. Normally the flash of the jewelry and the smell of new clothes, perfume, and hair products will make excite her, but she was too depressed for anything now. The man that she had loved betrayed her and worst of all he left her at the altar. He claimed to have love her and would "make love" to her, but they were all lies.
Mario loved another and she hated that other. She wished nothing but death for her, but there was another too. Not only was he infatuated with Belinda, but after thinking and replaying memories from since she had met him, he has been a womanizer including giving dirty looks to her best friend, Diana. What furthered the evidence included flowers and love letters to Belinda and somehow Diana was frightened of him, but his eyes lusted for her.
Why did he play her like this? Why couldn't she have a relationship like her brother and fiance? No man would want her now, especially of what she was going to do. Feeling depressed and wanted consolation, she turned to a man that has been after her: Adrian Leigh. He had offered love and the pleasures of it, but after encountering him in bed with her mother, she refused him immediately. He even dared to still come onto her, but she only saw him as a father since she has grown up with Diana.
Lorena regretted not to her brother. She regretted making Lily's life hell. How she wished rain would fall on her and wash the sins and bad memories away. She looked up as she walked subconsciously and suddenly a hard body hit hers. Lorena gasped and looked at the person holding her up. Her green eyes met the person's green ones. She didn't know what went through her, but her stomach suddenly jumped along with her heart.
"I'm sorry, miss," he said in a soothing voice.
Lorena slapped herself mentally. "Watch where you're going!" she said, harshly, pulling back.
Robert smirked seeing Lorena's reaction. He has seen her in her engagement party and even went to her wedding. He was Sarah's brother. He liked Lorena. She was beautiful, of course, but her attitude. Oh! Her attitude was one of the worst he had seen.
Maybe I can turn her to the angel that she looks like, he though. "I said I'm sorry, Lorena," he said.
Lorena glared at him. "How do you know my name?"
"I know that you're Dave's sister, my sister's fiance," he said as her eyes widened. "And I also know that you were left at the altar," he said.
Lorena felt her blood begin to boil. "What?! How dare you! You don't even know anything about this!"
"Does anyone?" he asked. Lorena stayed quiet. "Maybe you should tell someone about it."
"Who? You? Please, why would I tell you?" she said, walking away.
"It's always better to tell someone that you don't know when you can't tell anyone else," he said. Lorena stopped and hesitated thinking quickly. Robert smiled when she turned to look at him. "Come on, I'll buy you lunch," he said, holding out his hand. Lorena slowly placed her hand on his and let him lead her to where ever he was taking her.
