Reaching Out To You

Chapter 52

"I can feed myself" Hestia grumbled as a fork was shoved into her complaining mouth

Having been now six months pregnant she was confined to Athena's bedroom. Only to take showers and bask in the sun in the morning and evening. She had practically moved in completely considering her closet was filled with her clothes. Taking evening walks with Roselia and Athena when she got out of work. She missed being out there, working, seeing her friends. She missed it all. Her friends came to see her but it would be three or four times a week. With her bump now bigger and getting heavier she couldn't handle too much movement as much as she hated it

"I know you can but I want to do it" Athena argued bringing another bite-sized chicken piece to her tight-lipped mouth

"I don't" Hestia huffed crossing her arms

"Please" Athena pleaded softly

"Fine, the last one" Hestia replied receiving a warm smile and a kiss on her cheek, and her baby bump from the black-haired woman

She was done eating when Athena swiped her into her arms carrying her downstairs. Even with the small hits to her shoulders, squealing, and whining from the goldilocks haired woman Athena kept a tight grip on her as she walked out of the door to the garage and placed her inside the truck

"Athy I can walk you know, and where are we going?" she glared waiting for an answer from the tall woman who smirked walking to the driver's seat

Their drive was comfortably silent, well for Athena it was, Hestia kept shoving her, bombarding her with pointless questions and loud sighs trying to take her attention off the road. "Where are we going?" she whined asking for the umpteenth time hitting her head against the window

"Somewhere" came the same answer from the tall woman every time she was asked that

"Fine you won't tell me where, at least tell me when we're getting there. My butt hurts from all this sitting" she scowled

"Thirty more minutes" the tall woman replied without much of a glance at her

Hestia banged her head in boredom and decided to scroll through her playlist for some music. She bobbed her head back and forth to Lacey. The famous Folksville's pop singer. Athena side glanced an amusing smile spread across her face as she watched the woman entertain herself oblivious to her stare. Hestia mumbled to some lyrics occasionally singing out loud. Rubbing her stomach softly sighing as she felt small kicks from the baby. Caught up in her music trance she didn't notice they had made a stop at a gas station

Athena had already filled the tank and went on driving, her mind relishing the plans she had made for their evening. A setting orange sun, a small garden, and a sized cabin and of course them. "We're here" she announced already walking to Hestia's side opening the door for her

"Where's here? If you haven't noticed we're in the middle of nowhere" Hestia said warily as she looked around for the presence of life seeing none. Squinting her eyes she sighed gratefully as the cabin was in view. "Another cabin?" she teased

"Hey you should be thankful I got you out of that room" Athena exclaimed

Hestia started walking towards it when she was swooped up..again. She yelped wrapping her arms around her neck frantically. "Oh Dios Mío, I can walk Athy" she grunted

Athena kept a tight smile as she walked them to the open cabin, getting in she placed her on the small couch in what looked like the living room. "I'll be back" the tall woman announced as she went back to the truck. Taking out a small duffel bag she went inside to find Hestia snoring softly
