The Five Demigods

Chapter 73

Mitch and Avi didnt leave Scott and Kirstie's sides for the rest of the day.

Scott and Mitch were cuddled on the couch, and Avi and Kirstie were outside.

Mitch had his hand pressed against Scott's stomach.

"What was it like?" Mitch asked without thinking. Then he cringed. "I'm sorry." He said quickly.

Scott gave mitch a snuggled and placed his hand on top of Mitch's. "Its okay." He said softly, kissing Mitchs head. "Um, I'll tell you tomorrow, yeah? Right now, I just wanna hold you."

Mitch smiled as he snuggled in deeper into Scott and closed his eyes. Without meaning to, he fell asleep, listening to Scott's heartbeat.

Scott sat there for a while as he chuckled as he fiddled with Mitch orange and black hair.

Leigh walked in a saw this. "This is the most peaceful sleep he's had since you were taken."

Scott looked at Mitch's sleeping face. He did look peaceful. He also looked healthier.

"It was bad, wasn't it?" He asked.

Leigh nodded. "Everytime had try to sleep, he'd start screaming twenty minutes later. He never told me what they were, but it was bad."

Scott nodded.

"How are you?" Leigh asked him, sitting on the adjacent couch and wrapping the blanket around her.

Scott coughed. "Um...I'm okay?"

Leigh raised an eyebrow. "Don't sound like you asking a question, if you're trying to lie. Dead giveaway. So, what's on your mind?"

The blond sighed. "It hurt. I was so distracted by the pain that I don't even know what all was done to me. Uhm...I remember needles, uh...they took blood from me and the baby, um..." he trailed off, struggling to recall much else. "Thats...that's all I can remember. I'm sorry."

Leigh gave a small smile. "That's okay. That's good. It's a start. Did anything else happen, aside from...that?"

Scott chuckled. "Um, well, I have no idea what it was, but I spiked a fever. The next day...or...whatever, there was this like, orb or something that floated through the air and went into my chest and I instantly felt better."

Leigh looked with wide eyes. "Mitch was really sick. He couldn't move this morning. He's been sleeping for three days straight."

"What was his temperature?"

"102."

"Mine was 102."

"So, one of you has a new ability. What you just described, we saw the start of. Mitch created that orb. Of course, he has no memory of it." She looked at the sleeping demigod in Scott's arms.

Scott nodded. "Well, he seems to be feeling better."

"As you showed up, his eyes were like this...pink color. The same color as your whirlwind."

"What?"

Leigh sat back and readjusted her blanket and pulled her legs up underneath her.

" I have no idea." She said. "Obviously the two of you have a connection. What it is, I don't know, but its there."

Scott nodded and kissed Mitch's head.

"What changed your mind about him?" Leigh asked. This was the first time she'd seen them giving each other affection.

Scott sighed. "After he...well, almost killed me, but then saved me, I didn't know what I thought. I wanted to be around him, but I was scared to be." He put a hand to his stomach and sniffled. "But now, I understand. The entire time...all I wanted was Mitch. I wanted to hold him, just like I am now. I just wanted him."

He felt a warm hand reach up and cup his face, and when he looked down he saw Mitchs eyes looking back at him.

"And now you have me." Mitch said softly, pulling Scott in for a kiss.

"How long have you been awake?" Scott asked when they pulled apart.

Mitch smiled. "Oh, I heard everything."

"Oh." Scott said, looking at the ground.

"Hey." Mitch said softly. "Its okay."

Leigh smiled and quietly left the room.

Scott looked at the boy in his arms. "Can we start over?"

"Again?" Mitch chuckled.

Scott snorted. "Yeah, I guess."

Mitch sat up and smiled, and held out his hand. "I'm Mitch, the father of your child."

Scott laughed and took Mitch hand, shaking it. "Scott, the...motherrrr?...of your child?"

The brunette chuckled and kissed his hand. "Its a pleasure to meet you."

Scott smiled. "The pleasure is all mine."

Mitch smirked. "Is it now?"

The blond gently ran his thumb over Mitch's lips, biting his own. Then he leaned into Mitch's ear.

"Only if you want it to be."

Mitch practically melted. With a shaky sigh he looked at Scott, who's pupils had dilated.

With another shaky breath, he grabbed the sides of Scott's face and pulled him in for a heated kiss, which was hungrily returned.

Hiiiiii!!!!!

Love y'all❤
