Unsated Desire

The End

"I'm sorry to interrupt my child but I must have my payment" she said cocking her head to the side.

I laughed wirily take my powers I don't care I said utterly defeated. I raised my eyes to look at her silent tears falling at will.

"Tsk tsk tsk your powers is not what I want my dear child" she said. She came to crouch In front of me she laid her hand on my stomach.

I looked down at her hand right there. I used to love when people touched my belly but after seeing her hand there I knew I would never feel the same again. I smacked her hand away "please don't take my child ....please spare him take my power please it's just as precious" I said tears falling more and more.

"I'm sorry my child I can't the world cant exist without you having powers" the goddess spoke softly.

"Why" I said my lip wobbling just as hard.

She shook her head "I'm sorry my child I must have her."

"Hh-her" I said blinking fast my first daughter I said the dam breaking inside me yet again. How long would it take me to put the pieces back in place?

I kept shaking my head an that's when I felt his warmth his strength that was so unyielding it uplifted me even in my darkest hour. He took my hand and he whispered the words I needed to hear.

"I'm here my love through whatever is to come. You are not alone "he said bringing my hand up to his lips and pressing a light kiss to them.

I stood holding his hand tightly and then I took Gabriel's. I nodded my head to the goddess I'd made a deal I must abide by it.

She put her hand on my stomach again and then there was a baby in her arms. Smiling up at her she had the fattest cheeks. One of her eyes was blue the other brown. A tiny mole was under her right eye.

I knew my face was nothing but tears. The constant wetness was all I needed to confirm the theory.

"Fear not my child I will make sure both your children are celestial beings in different life times."She said nodding her head and right beside her appeared Gideon. His brown hair and green eyes shining bright as he ran into my arms. I cried even harder as I squeezed him.

I looked to her "but how is this possible I just saw him in" .... I asked unable to finish the sentence.

"I have their souls you have their physical form" my child she said.

I nodded my head understanding just what she meant.

I pulled back from Gideon "honey I'd like you to meet your dad before you go okay" I said trying my hardest to smile and be strong.

He looked at him as Gideon his father crouched down in front of him hugging him without word.

He pulled back "mommy what do you mean go why do I have to go I want to stay with you all" Gideon said bewildered grabbing Gabriel hand.

I shook my head the tears just wouldn't stop. "I'm sorry honey you have to go with titi Haniko" I said finally saying the goddess of fates name.

But I his lip started to woble and the goddess stepped forward and touched his forehead. He stopped the beginning of crying an hugged me back "it's okay mommy I understand now I love and I'll miss you" he said hugging me then he hugged his brother and went back to the goddess leg.

The goddess went in front of Gideon "you will experience things for a long time perhaps 5+ years of it. Just be aware that your were gone to the outer world my child. But it will go away you must be strong" she said nodding her head.

After that she stepped back from us and the children were gone.

Everything was back to normal except I screamed in agony my stomach felt horrible. Blood dribbled down my legs.

Without a thought I tied a strip of ripped fabric around Gabriel's eyes as I heard Jebediah stand to his feet from my kick to the balls. His irritating voice absolutely horrific to my ears. I was fast turning around even through the pain. I grabbed the sword from the ground in one second and had Jebediah in the air the next. I forced his mouth open and shoved the blade down his throat loving every moment of his flailing body against mine. I let out a deafening scream aimed directly at him. The blood trickled from his ears as he crumpled to the ground. I started at him as I fell right next to him. I could hear Gideon telling the guards to get the nurses.

When I awoke I was told it was days later. But I awoke to my son and Gideon right by my side. An that's how it was going to be as we righted every wrong Jebediah had made, with them right by my side.

It had taken a long time but it had finally happened. We'd made peace with the kingdoms all except one. They wanted to mine on our land and would not tell us what for. It was something that baffled me were they that set in greed that they couldn't just tell us. We were actually hospitable people the only payment we'd have required was the heads of the men that had raped our women in the villages. We'd conveyed that but they didn't believe a word of what we said. An did not want to sacrifice their own men for it either. But for now they were not a problem.

It might have taken Jebediah only 2 years to ruin our kingdoms but it took us 7 years to bring it back together. In those seven years trials and tribulations met us. The goddess was not messing around when she said Gideon would go through it but he finally had made it through to the other side.

He'd been a month without nightmares. An I brightened his day by telling him about the baby we would be expecting..... An it was powerful this child felt different then my last two pregnancies. This felt like a new era.
