Bryce rubbed his eyes and stepped out of his cabin.  He looked out at the world around him, life sort of dawning on him.  In just a few short months, he was going to be a father.  He heard someone approaching, “Can’t sleep either?” he asked casually.

Connor walked towards the Nike cabin with heavy limbs and tired eyes. She would never say that she hated being pregnant but she was definitely tired specially when the twins felt the need to move around. “ That would be something new if I could.” She replied when she was close enough to no have to yell.

Connor couldn’t help but laugh, nodding. “ I am. It was kind of a shock to be honest.” 

“Oh my Gods,” Leia breathes out, eyes shining. “I can’t believe it… Oh, I’m so happy for you,” she said, voice a bit tight with emotion. “They’re all healthy and everything I assume?”

[connorsommers]

Connor poked her stomach as she nodded. "As far as Bryce and I know. He's making sure I get the best of anything that I need. I think he's worried about being the perfect dad and husband"

“I’ve been meaning to take some time off for you, anyway–so that’s what I’m going to do,” he smiled, speaking his mind.  His smile grew a little sly, “Well, I’m holding you to that then.”

Connor pulled away and pressed a kiss to his lips. “ I love you Bryce.” She told him seriously. “ Also, why not we do it tonight? I can honestly say that I take a lot of space up now though.”

Jonah smiled at that. It was true. Who they were by definition probably did not help the situation at all. What could they really do about that though? “I guess, it’s just part of it all. It’s why there are so few legacy children honestly. Half of us don’t even make it to where we want to procreate.”

“ A bitter-sweet statement.” She agreed. Connor touched her stomach with her finger tips. “ I guess my mom and my husband’s a blessing us this time...”

tigerboy-xavier:

“Mica’s one of us.”

Connor frowned for a moment, trying to recall a Mica. “ I must be getting some baby brain.” She apologized.

“Not to my knowledge and even if you had done any of that in the past, you’re my sister. I’ve got your back no matter what,” Blaize stated in a kindhearted tone.

Connor sniffled and stood with some effort to wrap her arms around him gently, wanting to make sure that she wasn’t going to hurt him. “ You boys are too kind to a sister like me.”

Leia’s mouth hangs open and she stares at the other in complete disbelief for a moment before letting out a laugh and putting her hands together over her mouth. “Oh my Gods… You’re having twins?!”

Connor couldn’t help but laugh, nodding. “ I am. It was kind of a shock to be honest.” 

[connorsommers]

blaizejaynes:

“I’m alright, just looking forward to the healing and spending time with loved ones part of the recovery process,” Blaize answered.

Connor nodded. “ Hey Blaize... I’m sorry if I ever treated you like shit. Or if I was ever stand-offish to you.”

“It’s normal,” Leia says with a sympathetic smile. “You’re creating another human being,” she said with a small huff and ever-present smile. “-it’s no easy task and it’s a lot more responsibility than anything else here. Don’t feel guilty,” she assured her with more seriousness. “You’re doing the best you can around here while also keeping the little guy safe. Or…,” Her smile widens a bit. “Girl?”

Connor laughed halfheartedly. “ I’m making two.” She told the other, she and Bryce had just found out before the war had started.  It was some sort of good news. “ You’ll have to wait for the genders though, I’m keeping that between Bryce and I for a little bit.” 

[connorsommers]

drxbryce:

He chuckled, “You’re not wrong…” The man held her close again, “Still, I’m sorry for not being around a lot lately.”  He smiled, “Actually, I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about that. They do make over-the-counter prescriptions for sleep, we can talk to your OBG about it.”  He rested a hand on her stomach, involuntarily smiling like an idiot, “Orrrrr, you could always come spend the night in my cabin…”

Connor gently kissed him just under his jaw line since that was the only thing that she could reach being close to him. “ Really, its okay. I know you love your job and it means a lot to you. I signed up for it.” She pointed out, allowing him to touch her stomach. “ I don’t really want to take anything for it... But I will take you up on spending some night time with you.”

tigerboy-xavier:

“Yeap,” Xavier sighed. “Did not see him throughout the war either.”

“ Do you know what cabin he’s in?” 

[connorsommers]

jonahthornhill:

Jonah wasn’t sure that he believed her. He nodded at her words though. “I hear stress isn’t good,” he said after a moment. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Connor couldn’t help but laugh. “ Then being a demigod is not a good thing.” She said lightly.

paddydoolittle:

Paddy pressed his lips to the top of her head, chin ducking against her soft blonde hair as he wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into a brotherly hug. “Hey, I wouldn’t say that. You are safe here, and you’ve got your siblings to look out for you, and the little ‘un.” He said, speaking to her in hushed tones. “The animals are just as important as the people, it’s a shame when people don’t see that.” He was glad at least one of his siblings had been looking after the animals, because with a heavy heart, he’d had to ask some of the larger animals to help in the fight. It cut at him with each injury they suffered. 

Connor enjoyed the comfort Paddy brought to her with giving her a hug. “ But only for a time... This war has proved it.” She pointed it, it was something that ran through her mind quite a bit. “ Ones.” Connor corrected, absentmindedly. “ They’re better to talk to most days. I may act like I don’t care about animals or I’m annoyed with them but its in my blood to treat them like they’re one of us.”

Bryce hugged her back, “Well, I mean, it’s mostly good when we’re not battling everything that is trying to kill us, right?”  He kissed her forehead, “Sorry I haven’t been around much…I didn’t want to leave the Apollo kids to…modern medicine…”

“Sometimes... Most times” She said after a moment. She sighed softly when she felt Bryce’s lips on her skin. “ It’s okay, it’s your job. Plus their head is going into actual med school.” She stated. “ Is it bad that I don’t want to be pregnant anymore just so I can sleep. I feel like I should be grateful.”

jonahthornhill:

“Are you okay?“ a voice said looking down at her. Jonah couldn’t help but notice that she was holding her stomach. A wise person had once told him to not to assume that a girl was pregnant. Connor didn’t look it at all. Though he supposed, she was either pregnant or injured.  The worry on her face made him curious.

Connor opened her eyes, sighing softly. “ I’m okay. Just tired and pregnant.” 

[connorsommers]

tigerboy-xavier:

“Yea..I’m fine.” Xavier nodded with a tired smile. “I managed to find most of us except for Mica.”

“ Good.” Her smile was just as tired. “ Mica?” She asked, rubbing her forehead with her finger tips willing her headache to disappear.

“Yeah, yeah… I’m alright,” she insists with some nodding and a reassuring smile. “What about you?,” she asked with some concern beginning to line her features. “And the baby?” She looks down to the woman’s baby bump, gesturing a hand as if to touch but just as a gesture, putting her hand back down to her side.

“ Good” She smiled. “ Oh... Worn out.” She said honestly. “ Being pregnant through this... It doesn’t seem worth it. I couldn’t help with the campers but I tried to help the animals around.” She was slightly babbling but she had also hadn’t had a great sleep since all this fighting started. “ Oh... they’re in there.” Connor told Leia, poking at  her already big belly. “ Honestly I wish I had a little more weight on me, I feel like I wouldn’t be so big...”
