War of the Gods

United

Nine hours passed, and they arrived back home in Florida. "I had almost forgotten what this place looks like," Greg said. "Yeah, I had forgotten how shitty it was," Guillermo said. They laughed. "Hey, I'm gonna head to Natalie's house, I need to see what's up," Greg said. "We're coming with you," Guillermo said. "I think it's best if I go alone," Greg said. "You sure?" Guillermo asked. "Yeah, I need to see for myself what's wrong," Greg said. "Okay, hey, have you seen Star?" Guillermo asked. "No, she's probably in the bathroom," Greg said. "I'll be back soon." Greg walked out and got in the car. He left and drove to Natalie's, silently. "So, you're seeing for yourself?" Someone said. Greg looked behind him and saw Star, and almost had a heart attack. He swerved a bit and caught himself. "Jesus Christ, Star, I thought you were back at home," Greg shouted. "I decided to sneak in," Star said. "Guillermo doesn't know, does he?" Greg sighed. They arrived at Nat's house, and got out. They walked to the door, found another note, door's open. They opened the door, and walked in. Someone came out of the hallway, and saw the two of them. "Greg Adler?" She asked. "That's me," Greg answered. "Follow me, your girlfriend wanted you to see this," she motioned them towards her, and they went with her. They walked into a room, decorated like a nursery. The girl brought Greg to a crib, and he saw a little baby. "Wait, she had..." Greg started crying. "Greg, I'd like you to meet your daughter," she said. "Aries." Greg broke down crying. "Why didn't she tell me this?" Greg asked. "Well,  she couldn't put the pressure on you because she didn't know if you were staying," the woman said. Greg fell silent, he held Aries in his arms. "She's my daughter, I'm bringing her with me," Greg said. "You have a war to fight, you can't bring her along," Star said. "Not to the war, I'm bringing her home," Greg said. They get Aries settled in the car, and drive back home. They grab everything, Greg carrying Aries in his arms. They walk in, Guillermo ran and hugged Star. "Jesus, why didn't you tell me you were with him?" Guillermo asked. "You would've snuck along as well," Star said. "Fair point, but, what exactly was the..." Guillermo looked over at Greg, who had tears in his eyes. "Guillermo, she was pregnant," Greg said. Guillermo hugged Greg and Aries. "So, what's the name?" Guillermo asked. "She's a girl, her name's Aries," Greg said.
Night came, Guillermo and Star fell asleep. Greg was in his room, setting up the crib for his daughter. He got it set up, then she started crying. Greg grabbed her and walked around the house. "When I hold you close, I feel my heart melt," Greg sang quietly. "I wish I knew you were alive before my tournament, I wouldn't have gone if this was the case." She fell asleep on Greg's shoulder. Greg went into his room, and before he set her in the crib, he looked at her. His eyes, glowing, his heart, melting. "You are the love of my life," Greg whispered. "Everything I have, and everything I am, is yours... forever." He kissed her on the forehead, and set her in the crib.
