"I hate doing this to you but I am willing to do anything to save my baby's life. I know it's selfish but you are the only woman right now who looks almost like me." Holding onto the woman's hand she shakes her head understanding what you are implying.

What happened is that you begin to feel a bit unsteady as if you were constantly being watched. In a desperate attempt you didn't plan this out you were just doing it. The thought occurred to you when you walked into a woman's dressing store. Holding onto a woman's hand you gave her commands to continue looking around the store but not to leave, she obeyed your command.

Then you went over to another woman who was pregnant but she also looked like you. Making them both buy the exact same clothes they dressed in it and left the woman's store. The men who were stalking you looked at the two women who were dressed in the same clothes part ways. But they followed the one who seemed pregnant.

Breathing heavily you felt tears wanting to roll down your eyes as you rubbed your belly. "Calm down sweetheart, just wait. Just wait..." the sun was already setting but the hospital wasn't that far it was literally just around the corner from where you stand. Looking up you see the building with the words on the side Hospital Virgen del Mar. They don't stay open 24 hours but their emergency room does.

This right now is an emergency.

Just as you walked the straight road rubbing your belly a sharp piercing pain screamed out through your shoulder blade. The impact was so great you fell forward but you instinctively bend your knees scraping them on the patterned stoned sidewalk. Holding yourself up with your hands you were just grateful you didn't land on your stomach.

The people around you screamed running away as a man in a brown coat stopped behind you aiming his gun down to your head. You have met the end of this barrel so many times that you knew already who it belonged to.

"You truly wounded me amor mio."

The sadness within the voice made you sure of who it was.

How your heart ached on doing such a thing to the man you loved. "Risotto did teach you how to kill a man and I taught you how to shoot a gun until your hands blistered. Mio amor, do you know why I wasn't upset when you stabbed the side of my rib? It's because you weren't trying to kill me, you injured me to the point I was in shock from the loss of blood. I knew then that you still love me." The end of the barrel slides down under your chin lifting you up.

"Because if you really wanted to kill me you would." Diavolos eyes stop on your hand he almost lost complete strength in holding his own gun. What he saw seemed to have taken its effect in torturing his actions. The pink star diamond ring he had searched for, you were still wearing it. All this time he thought you probably sold it for surviving these 9 months. But no, it seems that no matter what you went through you kept his ring.

"Why do you still have the ring." Diavolo lowers his gun. "Because someone once told me that man puts value into things. To me this ring is priceless just like this life I have inside me is priceless." Diavolo shakes furiously, once more he finds himself trapped in this web, this wasteland of nothing! Everytime he has his mind set something you do seems to always stop him from ending you!

"You should have killed me why didn't you?" Diavolo slides out your dagger tossing it to you, the same dagger Risotto made for you from his iron.

"Because it's not of my nature." Picking up the dagger you look at it and toss it to the side. "I can't do it..."

Diavolo rubs his face with his palm lifting up his gun shaking uncontrollably. "Mio amore if you don't make it I'll see you on the other side."

Looking up you hear the bang that stings your ears as the piercing agony pain from the bullets forces its way into your chest. The bullet it's hot it burned your skin and the inside of your chest. Falling on your back Diavolo goes over lifting the dagger up looking at your stomach.

Kneeling down he tares your shirt apart looking at the your belly seeing the movement from the inside. Raising his hand up he stops feeling a terrible shock corse through his mind.

A clear vision memory of you with that poor girl from the chocolate store. The voices so clear.

"Why did you do that? You hurt yourself for me? But, but why? My life doesn't matter it's not as great as yours." it's the poor girl.

"Because I see a lot of myself in you.
I don't have scars on my body only inside of me where no one can see them only I can see them. If people found out how weak I was the pain would only get worse. But hiding it with a smile made a lot of the pain disappear. But, I'm guessing the reason I protected you is because when I was a girl no one was around to protect me.

So deeply did I wish for someone to jump in and save me. But I let go of such wishes knowing no one would."

-----

The vision fades away leaving Diavolo shaking from the sudden pain you felt.

So deeply did you wish for someone to save you but no on ever did. Just like how you wish someone would save you right now from Diavolo.

"All I wanted was for you to feel like if you had someone. I wanted to be the only man in your life... the only one who saved you. What have I done? What have I become?" Diavolo looks down at at his ankle where you held onto him.

You showed him that memory.

Keeping your eyes slightly opened with tears streaming down you can feel your throat tightening up. The knots inside your lungs fighting for air but it's so hard to breath when you can smell and taste your own blood. Diavolo grinds his teeth looking down at you.
