Mated To a God ✔️

//what now//

All of us sat in Xander office for a while, the three of us not knowing what to do now. Our friend just passed away in front of us. For the longest time I sat in Xanders lap crying, him silently letting out a few tears as well. But he stopped as soon as Henry came into the room.

Henry stayed in the room with Diana for a long time as well, when I stopped crying I just stayed still, I was somewhat scared to move. I didn't know what to do, it was weird. My friend just died, our friend just died.

When Henry came in, he had a few things with him, and one of them, was Diana's son. She brought him here with her. He was sleeping, not knowing what just happened to his mother. He looked so small and innocent.

Henry told us that she got here maybe an hour after Xander left the pack house and she wasn't doing well, she looked sick so he made her lie down. He took Ryland, her baby boy, to a friend for them to watch, when he had gotten back to Diana with medicine, she was ten times worse.

Thats when she made him come and get us, to make sure Xander and I were there. None of us touched the baby, who was sound asleep in his little carrier. He looked around the age of two, I think Diana said he was almost two years old when I had last seen her.

She never really talked about her son or Husband, not that the man seemed to matter at this point. He left them both after knowing Diana had fully given up being a goddess, knowing that she was going to die soon. When she left to take care of me for a few weeks during that 'war', that was his final straw I guess.

I guess she really started to get sick after I made the full transition.

I watched the baby carrier as Henry stared at his feet while sitting next to me, Xander was at his desk staring at the baby too.

No one talked.

It was too quiet.

"Henry, could you leave us for a few minutes? Maze and I need to talk." My head turned to Xander slowly as Henry stood.

"Y-Yeah...sure. What do you want-?"

"Henry, please." Side eyeing Henry as he leaves, I sigh and burry my head in my hands. Neither of us say anything to each other now that we are alone, Xander stays at his desk and I stay in my seat across from the baby.

"Maze, what are we going to do with...him?" Looking up at Xander, I see him looking at Ryland with sad eyes. I squint as I figure out what he is thinking. His eyes were dark, like him and Grey were fighting or he was contemplating about Ryland.

"We're going to keep him with us."

"Maze-"

"Xander, please tell me you aren't actually thinking of...getting rid of the him?"

"Maze, you were not thinking when you said you would take care of him. When you signed us up for that." Xander stood up this time while speaking, looking at me like I was crazy. I probably was at this point. earlier today I was scared of being pregnant and now I said I would take seems kid for them?

"I knew what I was saying Xander."

"Were you? Or were you saying that because Diana was dying Maze?"

"She came here so she knew her baby would be in good hands Xander!"

"And he still can be, but not in ours."

"What?" Looking at him in total disbelief, I shake my head at him as he continues to talk, his voice raising every second.

"Maze, it is a baby. A living child."

"I know what he is. But that is her son! I-I told her I would take care of him."

"And that is it Maze! this isn't the brightest idea anyone has had! I know that he is her son, but he is still a baby."
