Daphne and Achilles were blissfully married for three years and Daphne couldn't ask for a better three years. They were more in love than before and Daphne swore she fell more in love with her husband with each passing day. Even after three years, she still got giggly as she looked down at her wedding ring.
And so they kept every aspect of their relationship as healthy as possible. However, trouble came to Daphne as she missed her period, despite the fact they'd been using protection as much as possible. She didn't tell Achilles this right off the bat, because she didn't want to worry him. However, she did run to the store and grabbed a test to take when she got home. Fifteen minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom and stood in the bedroom, looking at the strip.
"Achilles?" she called out to her husband as she continued looking at the test. "I need to talk to you!"

Achilles looked up from the ground when he heard his wife call for him. He had been cleaning up in the training area for his classes. He rushed to bedroom where he had heard her voice coming from, hurrying when he heard the urgency in her voice. The son of Demeter stepped into the bedroom and raised an eyebrow at Daphne. She seemed to be staring at something in her hand and he couldn't see it from where he was. His feet moved swiftly as he walked towards. "What's the matt-" He cut off as he saw what she was holding. His eyes darted to the bathroom, confirming what she was holding when he saw the box on the sink.

Within a few seconds of calling to her husband, she heard his pounding footsteps as he ran to her. She looked up at him and gave him a reassuring smile, letting him know that she was okay. But she saw the look in his eyes as he put two and two together. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she looked up at her husband. She was still soaking in the news herself, part excited and part terrified. She looked up at him and smiled. "I'm pregnant," she said slowly as she looked at him gauging his reaction. "We're going to be parents."

Achilles just stood there, stunned. His brain was working on overdrive, trying to think of something, anything he could say. He looked down at his wife and opened and closed his mouth a few times as if about to say something. The swordsman closed his mouth and finally thought of something to say. "Are... are you certain?" Gods, that was stupid. He thought as soon as he said the words. Achilles put his hands on his wife's shoulders and waited for an answer, in despite of that thought. He wasn't going to ask a question and then not just refuse the answer.

Daphne pressed her lips together as she watched her husband digest the information. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times, like a fish out of water. Then he managed to process enough to ask her if she was sure. She sighed and rolled her eyes at him. She was completely expecting another reaction than that. "I am sure," she said slowly as she looked at him. She held the test strip towards him. "Well... for the most part... but there's a ninety-five percent chance that I'm pregnant." She sighed as she just watched him as she repeated, more for herself than anything, "We're going to be parents... I'm going to be a mother..."

"I'm going to be a dad." Achilles whispered as he stared off into space. It was the only thing going through his head right now. He was trying to wrap his head around the idea, not even wondering how it happened. They used protection, and it didn't sink in that it must have failed. Not that any thought other than parenthood was going through his brain. "I'm going to be a dad." The son of Demeter said a bit louder, as if saying it louder would make the idea seem more real. He felt like he was in a trance, and it seemed more than a little unreal.

Daphne took a couple of deep, shaky breaths as she watched her husband. He was clearly in a state of shock and still trying to process everything. She took a particularly shaky breath as she looked at her husband as tears filled her eyes. "And I'm going to be a mom," she whispered to him as she wrapped her arms around him and buried herself into his chest. That's when she broke down into his chest crying. She was scared shitless out of her mind. She couldn't imagine herself raising a family now. Yes, they'd talked about it casually, but she wanted to start it by choice, not by accident.

Achilles was shaken out of his stupor when he heard his wife begin to cry. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her against himself. "Shh, Daph. Don't cry. It'll be okay. I'm here, Love." His words were gentle and quiet as he stroked her hair softly. "I know it's scary, but I'm here for you, Daph. You don't have to worry." The swordsman held her close, hating the fact that she was crying and he didn't even notice her distress until she was sobbing into his shirt. He whispered the same words over and over again, shushing her as he continued to tried to get his wife to calm down.

Daphne kept sobbing into her husband's shirt, despite all of his attempts to calm her down. She was scared. She was no where prepared to have a child. She was in the middle of her career and planned to climb the ladder for two more years before she settled down. After a while, she managed to calm herself down enough that it only was a couple of shaky breaths before she pulled away from his chest to look up at him. "Are we ready?" she asked him as she wiped away the tears from her eyes. "I mean..." she took a deep, shaky breath. "I know we talked about it, but are we ready? Can we take care of another person in our family?"

Achilles knew what answer she wanted to hear, but he couldn't really give her any answer right now. "I don't know." His whisper seemed impossibly loud as he told her what he believed. "I have absolutely no idea if we are ready for this." He looked down at his wife and love and sighed as he told her the truth. "But I love you and I know I would love to have a family with you, Daph. I think about the possibility of a little boy or girl in our lives and the thought scares me shitless." The son of Demeter took a breath before continuing. "But I love the idea also. I don't know if we're ready for anything like this, but now that I think of the idea, I know I want to be a dad."

Daphne pressed her lips together as she looked up at her husband. He didn't feed her what she wanted to hear, but it was reassuring to know that she wasn't the only one scared by it. She didn't say anything as she pulled herself into her chest and buried her face. "I love you," she mumbled into it before she picked her head up to look at him. "And I both love and hate it. I want to start a family with you Achilles... it just..." She sighed as she shook her head. "It's just I wished it happened when we wanted it to. But I know I want to be a mom with you."

Achilles smiled slightly when he heard that last part. His arms held her tight as he looked down at his wife. "Well, that's been our lives, uncontrollable and hectic. I'm just glad it's not something evil this time." He chuckled softly as he hugged her just a bit tighter. "We've never really had much control over anything in our lives, did we Daph?" The son of Demeter leaned over and kissed his wife briefly. "But I'm really glad the surprise is something like this. At least, this time I get the chance to start a family with my love."

Daphne looked up at her husband and smiled softly at him. "The Fates like to do that to us a lot, don't they?" she asked a she slightly chuckled a bit as she shook her head. She felt a lot better about their surprise, especially since she knew Achilles was going to be with her every step of the way. She sighed as she smiled at him. "And I guess there's no time like the present to start a family, right?" She giggled slightly as she leaned up to quickly kiss him on the lips. "I love you," she whispered to him as she barely pulled away from his lips. In her mind, she was racing with everything they needed to get done before the baby was born. She might have had nine months, but they had to buy a lot of stuff and figure out where they would place their little bundle of joy when he/she arrived.

Achilles smiled as he held his wife. "I love you too, but first things first, Daph." His eyebrow raised as he knew that her mind was racing. "You need to sit down and calm yourself before you even start on the list you're forming in your head." He chuckled as he picked her up slightly and carried her over to the bed, sitting down and putting her on his lap. The swordsman held her in his arms. "I know you, and I know that you haven't even really given yourself time to adjust to the idea at all now that I'm here. You keep taking comfort in the fact that I'm here for you and never really prepare yourself for it. While for other things this may work, it won't be enough this time." He watched her intently as he spoke.

Daphne sighed as she looked up at her husband. It was scary how much they knew each other. She swore sometimes that Achilles knew her better than she knew herself. She sighed again as she buried her face into his chest. "Okay," she mumbled into it as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then she picked her head off of his chest as she looked at him again. "I'm pregnant," she whispered to him as she looked in the eyes. She was doing this more for her sake more than his. She still was trying to soak in the fact that their lives were about to change. "I'm going to be a mom. We're going to become parents." That thought just scared her, so she buried her head into his chest once more and took a couple of deep breaths.
