Reversal

"Where were you? Everyone is waiting for you" Seeing Christian coming out of the elevator with Dimitri, Eva folded her arms and spoke.

"I was just fixing a few things in the bunker, but I'm ready now" With a slight smile, Christian took Eva's hand and spoke "Let's go to the party~"

"Let's go" Smiling instantly, Eva nodded.

Looking at his mother's smile, Christian bit his lips slightly and thought 'I'll tell her later today... but after this party'.

Taking a deep breath as he stood in front of the door, Christian adjusted his expression and repressed his fears, then walked in with a big smile.

...

After a nice party, everyone went to their beds ready to rest, while Christian stared at the shower in front of his bed.

"I have to tell her... don't be a coward" Clenching his fists, Christian took a deep breath and whispered.

At this point, Christian's nervousness was through the roof.

He doesn't know how his mother will react, and although he can simulate several possible reactions, none end well for him.

"That was relaxing, it's so stressful traveling by plane" Walking out of the bathroom with her naked body while drying her hair with a towel, Eva spoke with satisfaction.

'It's time' Taking a deep breath, Christian stood up and walked towards his mother, then took her hand and led her towards the bed.

"You can't stand~?" With a mischievous smile, Eva squeezed Christian's ass and whispered sensually.

"I have something important to tell you" Sitting on the bed, Christian took Eva and sat her on his lap, staring at his mother's face with a seriousness she never saw before.

Frowning slightly, Eva wrapped her arms around Christian's neck and asked softly, "Tell me what's wrong?"

"I'm going to be a father."

"..."

Seeing Eva's stunned face, Christian bit his lips and continued "With Elisa.... Elisa is pregnant... I also slept with other women."

Trembling at those words, Eva opened her eyes a little wider and stared at Christian in a daze.

"..." Not knowing what else to say, Christian just stared at his mother with concern.

After a few seconds, Eva frowned deeply and spoke "It's a joke, isn't it?"

"No it's not... I would never joke about something like that."

Staring at Christian, Eva's face was getting angrier and angrier, then she raised her hand and grabbed Christian's chin with some force and whispered coldly "Is it a joke?"

"You know I'm not..." Looking at his mother sadly, Christian held her somewhat more tightly by the back and whispered "It's the truth."

"..." Biting her lips tightly, Eva's whole face began to distort with different emotions in it, but they all had one thing in common, anger.

With a face flushed with anger, Eva struggled in Christian's embrace and stood up, then glared at him and shouted "YOU CHEATED ME!!!?"

"..."

"FUCK!!!" Hitting the bed hard, Eva screamed angrily, frantically pacing around the place.

Staring at Eva, Christian walked over to her and tried to hug her.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" Pushing Christian's arms away, Eva screamed.

"But mom..." Biting his lips, Christian spoke "What's the matter? You like it..."

"WHAT'S THE MATTER!!!?" As if his words hit her, Eva approaches Christian and takes his chin again hard "YOU CHEATED ME CHRISTIAN, YOU FUCKED A WOMAN BEHIND MY BACK, THAT'S MY FUCKING PROBLEM!!!"

"But we did it before, I slept with 4 people in front of you!"

"BUT THAT WAS SOMETHING WE AGREED ON TOGETHER, SOMETHING WE DO AS A FUCKING COUPLE!!!" With red eyes, Eva continued "YOU SEEN ME STUPID FACE AND YOU FUCKED ANOTHER WOMAN BEHIND MY BACK, THEY ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT SHITS!!!"

Losing the momentum he had gained, Christian looked at his mother's irate face in pain, knowing full well that he screwed up and only just realizing how much he let himself go.

Biting his lips, Christian raised his hands and touched his mother's cheeks "Sorry..."

*Pa*

Suddenly hitting Christian, Eva screamed "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH ME-!!!!"

Eyes wide with disbelief, Christian brought his hand to his face and touched the blood dripping from his lips, then looked up to see the woman who like him, was staring at him in disbelief.

"You... hit me?" looking at his mother in disbelief, Christian whispered.

For the first time in her life, Eva hit Christian.

It wasn't a light blow, let alone a slap.

It was a straight fist to Christian's face with a great deal of force behind it.

"..." Staring dazedly at Christian's blood, Eva looks down and stares at her own fist, not believing herself what she just did.

"Ch-Christian... f-forgive me... l l-lost control" Quickly approaching Christian, Eva lifts her trembling hands and begins to touch his face with concern.

Staring at his mother in silence, Christian was still processing everything.

He is skilled enough to dodge a simple punch, he is 100% sure he could dodge that kind of punch for weeks if he wanted to, even though he could see it coming, his brain couldn't process what was happening, he never thought about this possibility, never simulated it and never came close to thinking about it.

Seeing Eva's reddened eyes, Christian licks the blood from his lips and shakes his head "It's okay.... I understand."

"I didn't w-want to do it..."

"I know" Taking Eva's hands, Christian smiled softly "I know you would never do it and that you were just blinded by anger."

"..." Looking at Christian's soft smile, Eva bit her lips even harder as she felt so much guilt.

"Come" Gently taking Eva's hand, Christian guided her to the bed and sat her down next to him, then turned and stared at her face "Let's talk like adults... let me start."

"..."

"I know I was wrong... maybe I always knew it and I didn't even bother to see it, or I just didn't want to... I don't know, it's my first time having these types of relationships and I honestly don't know how I got to this point" Whispering softly, Christian continued with pain in his eyes "I manage to understand that I hurt you and you don't know how miserably I'm feeling right now because of that, really seeing your face with pain is breaking my heart, even more knowing that it's because of me"

"..."

"I love you mom, I really love you, you are the one I think of when I wake up and your face is the last thing I think of when I go to sleep... I really don't know what I would be without you" Caressing Eva's face, Christian continued in a husky voice "I know I hurt you and I made a big mistake... but I also know that I can't ask you to forgive me, because I wouldn't... and even if it hurts me to say the following... I will say it"

Holding Eva's face a little tighter as her lips began to tremble slightly, Christian finally managed to squeeze out his words "If you want to end it... I'll respect that."

Hearing those words, Eva's body trembled slightly, while her face became more and more hesitant.

As for Christian...

Truly the change was tremendous.

His eyes lost their glow that seemed to be eternal, his skin that was already pale before became even paler, while his whole face in general seemed to have gained a few years because of how haggard he looks.

"I..." Whispering hesitantly, Eva bit her lips and stood up, then quickly put on her clothes and continued "I need to think... then we'll talk."

Watching the woman's back as the door closed, Christian could no longer bear his own weight and collapsed on the bed, as the world around him seemed to spin faster and faster.

Bringing his arm to his eyes, Christian whispered in a broken voice "I'm an idiot..."

...

With a cigarette in her hand, Eva looked at the sea with empty eyes under the dark night.

"Excuse me."

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded to Eva's side, causing her to turn her gaze instantly.

"Mr. Dimitri, I didn't think you'd be awake."

"I tend to sleep very little" With a light smile, Dimitri sat down next to Eva and looked at the sea "A few hours ago I saw your son looking just like you"

Biting her lips at hearing from Christian, Eva asked "Looking at the sea?"

"No... desperate and with a cigarette in his hands, although I must say the boy has good lungs, he finished more than 4 in a few minutes"

"Christian smokes?" Frowning deeply, Eva asked quickly.

"Not that I know of, but you know, he must be nervous about the sudden news."

Opening her eyes a little wider, Eva sighed bitterly and turned her gaze back to the sea "How much do you know?"

"Everything."

"Even about me?"

"I know you have an unconventional relationship with Christian."

"..."

"That boy doesn't hide many things from me, and even if he wants to, I know him very well, so I have no trouble deducing certain things."

"He asked you to come?" Turning her gaze, Eva asked.

"Not at all, I knew something like this was going to happen so I just waited."

"..." Taking the cigarette to her mouth, Eva takes a puff and remains silent.

"May I know your age?"

"32"

"And do you know Christian's age?"

"18"

Smiling slightly, Dimitri sighed "You know... I shouldn't get into this, this is something that Christian and you initiated, but since Christian calls me father, I'll leave my words out in the air and it's your choice to hear them."

"..."

"Since I started living with Christian in prison, he talk about you a lot, there really wasn't a day that he didn't talk about you... that boy always loved you, although I never expected that this love was much more than a family love."

"..." Lowering her gaze in embarrassment, Eva spoke after a few seconds "What was he like in prison?"

"Christian... that boy really is a unique being" Looking up at the stars, Dimitri continued "Always surprising me at every step, his way of thinking, his quickness to learn, his maturity, everything about him seemed to stand out... over time the boy grew up and I'm proud to say he became amazing... but there's something that always bothered me"

"What thing?"

"You've heard the saying that tends to pop up everywhere that says 'Find something to die for and you'll be happy'?"

"Yes..."

"I think, with Christian, that phrase makes no sense" With a bitter smile, Dimitri continued "That boy is capable of dying for anything... he seems to have no respect for his life and even the smallest thing, is something worthy of dying for him."

"What do you mean?" frowning, Eva asked.

"I suppose you must already know something of Christian's overflowing feelings, no?"

"Yes... Ever since he was little he was like that."

"I think it has to do with that" Looking at the calm waves of the sea, Dimitri sighed "The boy has many feelings, so many that I'm sure they overwhelm him daily... that boy is capable of dying for whatever he considers interesting or worthy, maybe music, maybe fights, maybe a pet or maybe a simple goal he sets for himself... that boy has no respect with death"

"Are you saying Christian wants to die?"

"Not at all" Smiling slightly, Dimitri continued "What I'm getting at, is that Christian doesn't need any more reasons to die.... Christian always needed a reason to live for, and I'm sure he knows that."

"..."

"That child who shows so much decision and security, is incredibly insecure with that aspect... he is afraid of being left alone, he is very afraid of being abandoned... I honestly can't understand why, it is possible that what he experienced in his childhood is the trigger of that trauma, but I'm not sure."

"..." Hearing about a childhood trauma, Eva's eyelids twitched and she lowered her gaze.

"For this child, being alone, is the same as having no reason to live and thousands of reasons to die for, he would be nothing but a walking corpse" Sighing, Dimitri continued "That's why this child always tries to keep all the close ties close, always tries to keep them happy and healthy, no matter the cost... maybe it's quite selfish if you ask me, but he's like that, he depends on the others"
