-----------------------------------
I sighed as I took my laptop out and sat on one of the Agency sofas. Apollo had said that he'd Skype me once he'd got back from investigating. I smiled before feeling a dip next to me on the sofa. I turned to my side to see two smiling girls, "What are you two up to?"
"We wanna say hello to Daddy too! You're not the only one that should get to see him!"
I smiled and petted Martha (Age 5) on the head, "Okay." She smiled back and Abigail (8) hopped off, coming to sit on my other side. I opened my laptop and immediately saw that my Skype was flashing. I opened it up to see that it was Apollo that was calling me. I smiled and accepted the call, connecting. It took a while as we were in different countries but we soon got connected.
"Hey."
"Daddy!"
I chuckled, "Hey, Polly. How are you today?"
"I'm doing great. What about you?"
"I'm doing okay. Tired, but good. These two munchkins are taking my energy away," I sighed, bringing Martha and Abigail into a hug, "You better be home before this one arrives," I continued motioning to my stomach.
"Heh, I'll try to be, (Y/n), but I can't make any promises because I don't know how long this trial will be and I don't know how long I'll be kept here afterwards," Apollo responded, rubbing the spikes on his head. I turned to the two girls we called our daughters, "Now you two, go and play with Athena or Trucy while I talk to your father more." The two of them nodded and waved bye to Apollo before hopping off the sofa and to a different part of the agency. I smiled and turned back to my laptop screen and therefore, Apollo, "How's the case going?"
"I don't really want to talk about it, to be honest. It's stressful, but I'll get through it."
"That's the Polly I know!" I smiled, "So, do you know what today is?"
"Uhhh... (Y/n) if it's your birthday, I'm so sorry! I forgot to send something over! I promise-" I cut him off, "No, it's not my birthday. It's Valentine's Day, Apollo."
"Oh. That's a relief. I know I send for something to be delivered for you."
"Thanks, Polly. I'd have liked to give you your gift in person, but I can easily give it to you like this." I smiled wider and got my guitar out from the side of the sofa. I had a bit of a struggle finding it with all of Trucy's magic supplies, but I did find it. I spotted that Apollo has a confused look on his face, "(Y/n), what's the guitar for?"
"Just shh, for now, Apollo. You can give me your verdict when I'm done." I placed my laptop on the sofa beside me before strumming the guitar and starting to sing,
"We're far apart in every way.
But you're the best part of my day.
And sure as I breathe the air.
I know we are the perfect pair.
On a prickly path that goes on for miles.
But it's worth it just to see you smile.
And I cannot be pulled apart.
From the hold you have on my heart.
And even if the world tells us it's wrong,
You're in my head like a catchy song.
The seasons change and leaves may fall.
But I'll be with you through them all.
And rain or shine, you'll always be mine.
On a prickly path that goes on for miles.
You're the only one who makes it all worthwhile.
And you should not blame me, too.
If I can't help falling in love with you..." I put the guitar down and turned back to the screen to see Apollo wide-eyed, "W-Wow. (Y/n), that's amazing! Thank you! The flowers I got for you are nothing compared to this."
"I'm sure they'll be beautiful, Apollo, when they arrive."
"You know what's more beautiful? You." I felt my face heat up at that statement but I smiled nonetheless, "Thanks, Polly. You're pretty cute yourself."
"I am not cute!"
"Yes you are. That's what made me fall in love with you. You can't blame me for that, Apollo."
He chuckled before lookin behind me, "Looks like you've acquired an audience, (Y/n)." I turned around to see what he meant, only to see he was right, standing in the doorway of the Agency were Mr Wright, Athena, Trucy, Martha and Abigail.
"(Y/n), when did you learn to sing like that?!" I rubbed the back of my neck, "I don't know... I've been singing since I was 5, but I never told anyone."
"Daddy's right, you're singing voice is beautiful!" I smiled, "Thanks, Martha."
"Hehe, I'm just stating a fact."
I smiled, "Anyone else want to say hello to Polly?"
"I do!" Trucy squeaked, running up to the sofa. I menouvered myself so she could see the screen and Apollo could see her, "Hey, Polly!"
"Hi to you too Trucy."
-------------------
Two months later, I was in the hospital, Athena by my side, as Apollo wasn't back from abroad yet. Athena had volunteered to stay with me throughout the birth of mine and Apollo's third child. She'd given me permission to squeeze her hand as hard as I needed to. However it didn't come to that as just as I was half way through my contractions, Apollo burst through the door, "(Y/n)! You okay?!"
Before I could say anything, a nurse came in following him, "Mr Justice! Slow down!"
"She's my wife and I'm going to stay with her during this time! It's my responsibility to look after her," he replied sitting of my other side and taking my hand that Athena wasn't grasping. Said girl soon stood up and I thanked her as she left the room, leaving me with Apollo.
--------------
"Martha, Abigail, meet your younger brother Martin." The two girls hesitantly walked further into the room, as if asking for further permission from the nurses that were still walking around the room. They walked up to the hospital bed and, after getting my permission, Apollo listed the two of them onto the bed so they could see their new brother.
"He's so cute!"
"You know, Abby, you were like this too, although you were a lot louder," I chuckled out, petting the now nine-year-old on the head. I felt a wave of sleepyness overcome me and Apollo noticed. He ushered Abigail and Martha out of the room before walking back and taking Martin from me, placing him in the little crib by the hospital bed. He kissed my forehead, "Have a good sleep, (Y/n), I'll be here when you wake up."
I smiled in my sleepy state, "And you should not blame me, too, if I can't help falling in love with you..."
