The candy palace of Brigitte, the goddess of fertility, was a sight to behold. A sweet wonderland filled with clouds of cotton candy, rivers of chocolate, and forests of lollipops, it was the perfect place for the goddesses to gather and indulge in their pregnancy cravings.
Hera, Athena, Pershephone, Amphimtrite, Aniya, and Aphrodite were all present, each with a unique craving. Pershephone's insatiable hunger for pomegranates was well-known, while Aniya's craving for Hermes' favorite ambrosia-infused sausages was a recent development.
"I can't believe you broke your vow of chastity for a one-night stand with Hercules," Aniya teased Athena, who rolled her eyes.
"At least I didn't prank Zeus and get struck by lightning," Athena retaliated, earning a laugh from the other goddesses.
The conversation turned serious as the goddesses discussed how their husbands or the person who got them pregnant treated them during their pregnancies. Hera shared her frustration with Apollo's lack of involvement, while Aphrodite revealed her ex-husband Hephaestus' concern for her and their unborn children.
Pershephone's labor pains interrupted the conversation, and the goddesses gathered around her, offering words of encouragement and support. The twins, Nico and Bianca, were born on January 28th, and the goddesses celebrated the new life with a feast of honeyed cakes and sweet nectar.
Athena shared her excitement about her pregnancy and her plans for her son and daughter, Telemachus and Annabeth. Aphrodite surprised the goddesses by revealing her pregnancy with Hephaestus' children, and Aniya teased her, calling her a "hopeless romantic."
Amphimtrite shared her joy about her pregnancy and her husband Poseidon's support, boasting about her son Perseus' future as a powerful sea god. Aniya announced her pregnancy with Hermes' identical twin boys, Conner and Travis, due on April Fool's Day. She joked about playing pranks on the other gods with her sons.
Hera shared her frustration with Zeus' refusal to attend the gathering, but she revealed her joy about her pregnancy and her plans for her son Jason. The goddesses continued their celebration, indulging in their pregnancy cravings and engaging in playful banter.
They shared their hopes and fears for their children, with Hera expressing her desire for Jason to be a wise and just leader. The goddesses made a pact to support and guide each other through their pregnancies and beyond.
As they left Brigitte's candy palace, each carrying a bag of candy to satisfy their cravings, the chapter ended with a cliffhanger. The challenges and adventures that awaited the goddesses and their children were hinted at, leaving the reader eager for more.
