Oops? (Achilles)

[fishdude]

Achilles held Daphne close as she processed the information she had told him just moments ago. He probably hadn't realized it himself yet, being more concerned about his wife than himself at this point. His mind hadn't even bothered to worry about himself. The son of Demeter looked down at his love and waited for her to process it. "Yeah, you're going to be a mom." He whispered to her as he held her close. "And while I'll be here for you, I won't be able to relate with you to help you deal with it. I can't exactly get pregnant." Achilles chuckled softly at his own words.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne didn't pay attention to Achilles's joke as she tried to process what was happening to her. "I'm pregnant," she whispered once more. "We're going to be parents. I'm going to be a mom..." Then she widened her eyes as she looked up at her husband. "I'm going to be a mom. I'm going to be horrible!" Her mind was flashing back to her own mother and how horribly she was treated for not going to the fine arts and finding out she was a Zeus child instead of Apollo. "I can't do this," she said a bit panicked. "I can't put my child through what my mother did. I just can't." She took rapid, ragged breaths as tears came. Then she buried her head into her husband's chest for the second time that day.

"Daphne, calm down. You are not your mother." Achilles knew exactly what she was talking about. "You will not hate your child because of what they are not. I know you better than that, Love." He hugged her tight as he looked down at his wife. "You will be a great mother, and I will be there for you and our child. I know you will give our child more than enough love and affection. You will be an excellent mom, Daph." The swordsman smiled softly at her before placing a kiss on the top of her forehead. He picked her up and walked over to sit on the bed, placing her in his lap.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne did feel comforted by Achilles's words a little, but she still had her worries. That phrase like mother, like daughter did ring some truth to it. What if she did become like her mother and ended up kicking their child out. Would she forgive herself? It took a couple of moments before Daphne was calmed down enough to pull her head off his chest and look at him. "Do you really think so?" she whispered to him. "Do you really think I would be a great mom?" She closed her eyes as she shook her head. "Because I don't know... I have a feeling I would end up like her..."

[fishdude]

"You are nothing like her." Achilles said a bit forcefully. "You are a kind, caring, and loving person without a malicious bone in your body. I know you would be an excellent mother." He pulled her away to look his wife in the eyes. "I know that you would be nothing like her." The son of Demeter leaned over and kissed her softly. His eyes were smiling as he pulled away to look at her. "I know this to be a fact. You can't not love our child, and you can't possibly do anything to hurt her like the way you were hurt."

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne couldn't help but smile at Achilles as he said that. That made her feel a lot better that she wasn't her mother. She would have hated to see another kid grow up the way she was raised. She looked down at her stomach and couldn't really believe that a baby was growing in there. Then she realized something and looked up and raised an eyebrow at her husband. "You said her," she teased him as she watched his face. "Do you want it to be a girl? Don't you think it's bad enough that you have to put up with me already? Wouldn't a boy be easier to raise?"

[fishdude]

Achilles smiled as he realized what he had said. "I guess you can say that I'm partial to the idea of a little girl." His eyes were amused as he pulled Daphne closer to himself. He leaned down and kissed her again. "I think it would be nice to have a little girl around here." The swordsman smirked as he put a hand on his wife's stomach. "But I would love our baby whether it's a boy or a girl." He rested his head on top of hers with a smile. Achilles chuckled as he held Daphne. "What do you want?"

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne looked up at Achilles and giggled at him a bit before he leaned in and kissed her. She kissed him back quickly when he leaned to kiss her. She place her hands on top of his when he placed his hand on her stomach. Then she glanced up at him and smiled a bit. "I don't know," she admitted as she chuckled slightly. "I've never really thought about it, you know?" She sighed as she rested her head against his shoulder. "But I think I would be happy with either one." Then she glanced up at him and raised an eyebrow at him. "Would you like to know what gender or have it be a surprise?"

[fishdude]

"I think you should decide. You're the one who isn't biased about it." Achilles said with a chuckle. His face broke into a smile as he felt her lean against him. He held her close and closed his eyes. "But I think we have some better ways to tell other than ultrasound. I bet someone from camp can give us a better idea than a machine, that might be obscured by the mist, could tell by using their powers." The son of Demeter opened his eyes and smirked at his wife. "Are you feeling a bit more comfortable with the idea of being a mom?"

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne pressed her lips together as she thought about it. "I want it to be a surprise," she said finally as she looked up at her husband. "He or she is already a surprise, so let he or she surprise us even more." She giggled a bit as she cuddled into Achilles's chest as she closed her eyes slightly. "Doesn't Eileithyia have a couple of children?" she asked as she opened her eyes to look up at him again. "I mean, not as many as other gods, but I think she has one our age. We can try to go see her." She closed her eyes again and sighed contently. "Yeah," she whispered to him. "A little bit better than before. Thanks... And I think you'd be an excellent dad too."

[fishdude]

"Yeah, I think there is one. Maybe we can talk to someone we know at camp and they can tell us." Achilles said with a smile as he laid back on the bed. His arms wrapped around his wife and pulled her down to lay on top of him and hold her close. "You know, Beautiful. I love you." He smiled as he looked down at Daphne. "Our lives are going to be very different from now on." The son of Demeter said to no one in particular. He had a million things running through his mind. Achilles didn't want to have the dojo this close to the house if he was going to have a kid, and he was trying to figure out how he was going to get a new place for it.

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne giggled slightly as Achilles laid down and pulled her on top of him. She looked down at him as she reached up to brush his hair out of his face. "I love you too, Handsome," she whispered down to him. It was really growing on her that she was going to be a mother and Achilles and her were finally going to have a family. "Yeah, they are," she whispered to him as she used the hair that pushed his hair to cup his cheek. "But remember what you said to me right before our first time? That things were going to change, but not our relationship?" She smiled softly as she leaned down to kiss his forehead. "It's still true here. The only thing is we'll share our love with one more person. And he or she will be worth it."

[fishdude]

"No, that's where you're wrong, Daph. Our relationship is going to change. Just like when we became boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife. We are going to be mommy and daddy now, and that is going to change our relationship more than anything else. It won't be a bad change, in fact, I think it will be a great change, but it will be the biggest change our relationship has ever had." Achilles told his wife with a slightly stern tone, making certain she understood. He looked at Daphne with a serious look on his face as he raised up onto his elbows. "We will go through this change with as much love for each other as we did the others, if not more." The son of Demeter sat up and sighed. "But we will still be there for each other. Even though this is the biggest change in both our lives and relationship ever."

[Daphne Scotts]

Daphne sighed as she looked at her husband. She didn't believe that their relationship would change that much. Hades, she didn't think it changed that much at each step of their relationship. If anything, all that would change would be how they were related to each other and how they would just have an extra person to share it from. But Daphne wasn't going to argue that with him. Instead, she adjusted herself so she was sitting comfortably on her husband's lap as she shook her head. "I think we'll make great parents, you and me," she said to him as she leaned up to kiss him on the forehead again. "And I'm ready to go through this change with you. There's nothing we should be afraid of, because I love you and I think that's enough."

(and I hope that makes sense... Rachel English is dominant right now XD)
