Apollo quietly enters the room and the first thing he sees is Ariel sitting in one of the armchairs nursing her child.
- Oh, I thought you were one of my friends. How can I help? - Ariel asks, blushing slightly as she covers her chest with a blanket.
Apollo looks at her in shock for a few minutes, he just wants to kiss her and take her breasts in his hand.
-The Fates have sent a letter, in which they wrote that they are dissolving one of your soul connections, and your friends have chosen me because they thought I could calm you the best. says Apollo with a slight smile.
-That's true. You are the person who can calm me the best, -says Ariel. - Could I maybe get a hug? - she asks shyly, not knowing how Apollo would react to their relationship.
Apollo doesn't say anything, he just slowly steps over to Ariel and embraces her tightly, carefully so as not to harm the baby.
After a few minutes, Apollo pulls back a little, but still keeps his arms wrapped around Ariel's
"I can't believe I have such a wonderful soulmate," he says, gently caressing Ariel's face with affection. "Please tell me that I will be a good partner in the future, and that I will always be there for you when you need me," he says vulnerably.
"Calm down, you are perfect, and you are always there for me, just like my other two soulmates. By now, we have become one big perfect family," says Ariel, smiling.
"I don't know how to feel about the fact that you have two other soulmates," says Apollo with a sigh. "You know very well that gods are very possessive and dominant."
"I know," says Ariel, giggling. "At the beginning, it was difficult because you were constantly arguing and wanting to fight each other, but after a while, you realized that I need all three of you, and you made peace." Ariel leans towards Apollo's ear with a cheeky smile and whispers softly, "In fact, you get along so well now that there were times you took me to bed together."
Apollo takes a deep breath to calm himself and not to pin Ariel down on the bed (in the soulmate connection, there is a strong pull towards the other).
"Are your other two soulmates men or women?" asks Apollo.
"They are both men," says Ariel.
Apollo is about to say something when they hear loud crying from one of the cribs. Ariel rushes to one of the cribs and gently lays down the sleeping baby in her arms, then she goes to the crying baby's crib and carefully picks up the infant, starting to soothe him.
"There's nothing wrong, my little one, mommy is here," says Ariel as she rocks the baby. "Did you feel that daddy is here, my sweetie?" she asks the baby sweetly. Apollo's breath catches at what he sees: his soulmate holding their child in her arms. He has never felt such immense happiness in his life. They look beautiful together.
"Is he our son?" asks Apollo as he steps closer to them, wrapping one arm around Ariel's waist and gently stroking the chubby cheeks of the little boy with his other hand. "He's perfect. What's his name?" he asks with a smile.
"His name is Zion Jackson," Ariel says. "Would you like to hold him?" she asks, to which Apollo nods. Ariel gently places their son into Apollo's hands.
"Thank you," Apollo whispers, tears welling up in his eyes as he looks up at Ariel and their son. Ariel doesn't say anything, just snuggles up to his side. They remain like this for minutes until Apollo remembers they need to go back to watching the movies.
"We need to go back," he whispers softly, then walks over to the crib and gently lays their son down. Stepping away from the crib, he returns to Ariel and strokes her cheek. "I'll be by your side the whole time, okay? You can sit with me," Apollo says.
