Olympian Blood

Chapter 37

Artemis POV

Apollo and I talked for a while until it was time for me to meet with Aaron's mom at the hospital.

As I tried to leave Apollo refused to let go of my leg unless I took him with me. Saying if I kicked him in the face it would be like kicking myself in the face and weirdly enough that made complete sense to me. 

So I gave in.

Once we entered the hospital we found Ella and the girls there. At first, I thought Ella was there due to her pregnancy but once I saw Hazel crying beside her, Apollo and I quickly approached.

"Oh, Artemis I'm so glad you're here! I would have come to the packhouse to get you but they said you would be arriving soon and the girls refused to be touched by any of the other nurses!" Ella began to ramble.

"Hey hey just calm down okay? She's here now so just take some deep breaths with me then you can tell us what happened. Alright?" Apollo asked with his hands now on her shoulders.

Apollo began to calm her down while I crouched down to see the girls they didn't seem to notice we were there yet.

"Hey, there pretty ladies. Do you mind if I see what hurts?" I asked pointing at the bloody knee Hazel's small hands covered.

"Miss.Arty! Hazel got hurt and then I-" I hushed Raven as she began to choke on her sobs.

"It's okay Sweetie I'm gonna make her feel better so don't worry," I said offering her a smile.

Hazel moved her hand slowly allowing me to see her swollen and bloody knee.

I was quick to cover the wound with my hands so neither of the girls could see then I began to heal it.

It was a small fracture but it had to have come from a heavy impact on a rough surface.

I could see that Apollo was able to calm Ella down and was now working to soothe Raven's tears.

I smiled seeing the little girl sniffle into Apollo's neck as he hummed to her softly.

Looking back at Hazel her tears had stopped now only worry was displayed on her face as she looked at her sister and Ella. I could tell she along with the other two were tired so I decided to set them up in a room before sending them home.

"Alright let's let you guys rest some before going home okay?" I asked looking at Hazel and Ella receiving a nod from both.

I pick up Hazel and let her snuggle into my neck before finding an empty room for them.

"Alright, Ella you think you can tell us what happened now?" I asked after settling the now sleeping girls in a bed in the room.

Ella took a deep breath before speaking.

"Well, this morning I was experiencing the worse morning sickness I've had during my pregnancy. Nancy was out again and the girls wanted to help out. I told them that I would be fine. They left me in the bathroom and only moments later I heard a scream from the kitchen. At that moment any discomfort I was feeling left and I rushed to see what happened. Only for my nausea to return when I saw Hazel-l on the floor bleeding." She said tears well up in her eyes. She ran one of her hands through her curls the other never leaving her stomach.

"She had been trying to make me something so I could feel better and- gosh I'm gonna be a terrible mother!" She exclaimed before breaking down.

"Hey don't say that. You got the girls here, didn't you? You were there for them when they needed you and look " I said pointing to the sleeping girls.
