The Goddesses' private meeting room in Mount Olympus was filled with the sweet aroma of nectar and ambrosia as Brigitte, Aphrodite, Persephone, Hera, and Amphitrite lounged on plush cushions, sipping on their drinks.
"I must say, my dear Brigitte, your baby must have quite the sweet tooth," Hera said, raising an eyebrow as Brigitte nibbled on a honey-glazed fruit.
"Oh, Hera, you have no idea," Brigitte replied, licking her fingers. "I can't seem to get enough of these."
Aphrodite chuckled. "Well, at least you're not craving salty and sour foods like I am. It's a wonder how I'm still in one piece with all the pickles and olives I've been consuming."
Persephone shook her head. "I'll take your cravings any day. I can't seem to get enough of fresh vegetables and fruits. It's a good thing I'm the goddess of spring and death, or I'd be going broke trying to satisfy these cravings."
Hera sighed. "Yes, well, my cravings for rich and decadent dishes are a reflection of my regal status as the queen of the gods. It's a good thing Zeus has a bottomless pit of gold."
Amphitrite laughed. "At least you can easily satisfy your cravings, my dear. As the wife of Poseidon, I have access to the freshest seafood, especially oysters and lobsters. I can't seem to get enough of them."
The goddesses then started talking about how their husbands had been since they got pregnant.
Brigitte shared how Apollo had been extra attentive and caring. "He's always making sure I'm comfortable and well-fed. I've never seen him so caring and nurturing. It's quite endearing."
Aphrodite revealed how Hephaestus had been shocked to find out he was the father of her twins but had been trying his best to make up for lost time. "He's been working overtime in his forge, creating the most beautiful cradle for our babies. It's quite touching."
Persephone shared how Hades had been supportive and understanding. "He's even allowing me to spend more time in the mortal realm during my pregnancy. It's been a nice change of pace."
Hera mentioned how Zeus had been his usual arrogant self but had been trying to hide it for her sake. "He's been making plans for our child's education and training, even though he was indifferent to finding out the gender. It's a small gesture, but it means a lot to me."
Amphitrite confesses how Poseidon had been extra playful and flirtatious. "It's been a mix of amusement and annoyance, but I can't deny that it's been keeping things interesting."
The goddesses then shared their husbands' reactions to finding out the gender of their kids.
Brigitte shared how Apollo had been thrilled to find out they were expecting a son. "He's already planning on teaching him how to play the lyre. It's going to be a musical household, that's for sure."
Aphrodite revealed how Hephaestus had been overjoyed to find out they were having a boy and a girl. "He's been working on creating the perfect cradle for them. It's going to be a masterpiece, I can already tell."
Persephone shared how Hades had been relieved to find out they were having a boy and a girl. "He was worried about having a successor, but now he's at ease. It's a weight off both of our shoulders."
Hera mentioned how Zeus had been indifferent to finding out the gender of their child. "But he's been making plans for his education and training. It's a small gesture, but it means a lot to me."
Amphitrite confesses how Poseidon had been ecstatic to find out they were having a son. "He's been planning on teaching him how to ride the waves and control the seas. It's going to be a wild ride, that's for sure."
The goddesses laughed and shared stories, enjoying each other's company and support.
The scene ends with them making plans for a group outing to the mortal realm, excited to indulge in their pregnancy cravings.
"We should go to that new seafood restaurant in Athens," Amphitrite suggested. "I've heard their oysters are to die for."
"And I heard there's a new bakery that specializes in honey-glazed pastries," Brigitte added. "It's a win-win situation for all of us."
The goddesses agreed, excited to satisfy their cravings and spend quality time together. It was going to be an unforgettable outing, filled with laughter, love, and indulgence.
