Eight Months Later

Persephone

"Babe, I need your help here,"

Hades walks out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"What do you need baby girl?"

I point to my feet, and he smiles, he walks over to me and kneels in front of me and slips my shoes onto my feet and ties the laces.

"Thank you,"

He kisses my lips and rubs my now eight-month-old baby bump. I was nearing the end of the eighth month and due to give birth soon, according to Hecate.

"Maria," he kisses the bump and the baby kicks, making me wince.

"That was fucking painful,"

Supernatural babies are said to be much smarter, than the average baby, she responds to me, and she talks to me, which still freaks me out sometimes but overall, she's a happy baby.

"You need to get ready babe, we don't want to be late for Fifi's baby welcome party," I say.

He groans, "Yeah, yeah, I'll be done in a few minutes."

Fifi had her baby about a month ago and because of family traditions, she had to spend thirty days alone with the baby to nurse him and be with him before anyone could see him and we planned a party for when Triton could be seen.

I try and get up from the bed, but I can't, and I can't use my powers because lately, they have been out of whack, due to the pregnancy.

Hades walks out dressed in some beach shorts and slippers and a Hawaiian-themed shirt and he's got our beach bag in one hand.

"Come help me," I pout.

He uses his telekinesis to help me onto my feet and I groan, "I've told you not to do that, it makes me dizzy and nauseous babe,"

He walks to me and kisses my cheek, "I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry."

I roll my eyes, he's not.

We walk out of our bedroom and head downstairs where Zeus is waiting for us, oh did I tell you that Zeus got kicked out by Hera for cheating, again?

"Hey man, you ready to go?"

Zeus nods, "Yep, let me help you with your bag and you can help the lady to the car, she doesn't look like she's okay."

"Thank you, Zeus," I say as he takes the bag from Hades.

Hades takes my hand and looks at me, "You don't have to do this baby, we can cancel,"

I shake my head, "No, I wanna see the baby and besides, Hestia is going to be there, and I haven't seen her for a while. I miss her."

"Alright but if you feel any kind of way, we are coming back home, understood?"

"Yes father, now let's go,"

We walk to the car and get in, the drive is quiet, and I have this eerie, dark feeling about today.

"So is Hera coming to the party?"

Zeus shrugs, "I don't know,"

"You know Zeus, maybe you should just get a divorce, she's too good for you," Hades says, "You are constantly hurting her and putting her through hell all because you can't keep it in your pants and don't think we don't know that you've been physically abusive too, we've tried to talk to her about leaving you, but she's so devoted to you, she says she can't leave."
