The Goddesses’ Private Lounge in Mount Olympus was filled with the sweet aroma of nectar and the lively chatter of its inhabitants. Brigitte, Aphrodite, Persephone, Hera, and Amphitrite lounged on plush cushions, sipping on their drinks and sharing stories of their current pregnancies.
Brigitte, the goddess of the harvest, shared her recent craving for honey-glazed fruit. “I can’t seem to get enough of it,” she said, a smile playing on her lips.
Hera, the goddess of marriage and childbirth, commented on Brigitte’s baby’s sweet tooth. “It’s no wonder, with a mother like you.”
Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, revealed her craving for pickled fish. “I know, I know, it’s a strange one,” she said, rolling her eyes at the playful insults from the other goddesses.
Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, shared her craving for dark chocolate and spicy foods. “I’m telling you, these twins of mine are going to have quite the fiery personalities,” she joked.
Hera mentioned her craving for rare steak, and the goddesses discussed how their husbands had been catering to their cravings.
Brigitte shared how Apollo had been amazing in the kitchen, whipping up her favorite dishes. “He’s been so attentive and caring, it’s like he’s a different man,” she said, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
Aphrodite shared how Hephaestus had been trying his best, but his culinary skills left much to be desired. “At least he’s trying,” she said with a laugh. “And he’s been making it up to me in other ways.”
Persephone shared how Hades had been surprisingly attentive, bringing her exotic fruits from the underworld. “I never thought I’d see this side of him,” she said, a wistful look in her eyes.
Hera shared how Zeus had been leaving the cooking to Hestia, but he made sure to bring her the finest cuts of meat. “He’s been trying to make up for his past indiscretions,” she said, a hint of bitterness in her voice.
Amphitrite shared how Poseidon had been sending his best chefs to cater to her every whim. “He’s been so attentive and loving, it’s like he’s a different man,” she said, a smile playing on her lips.
The goddesses laughed and shared stories of their husbands’ reactions to finding out they were expecting.
Brigitte shared how Apollo was over the moon when she told him, and he had been doting on her ever since. “He even wrote a song about our baby,” she said, a tear of joy in her eye.
Aphrodite shared how Hephaestus was shocked but happy when she told him, and he had been trying to make it up to her. “He even made me a golden bracelet with our baby’s name on it,” she said, admiring the bracelet on her wrist.
Persephone shared how Hades was pleasantly surprised, and he had been showing a softer side ever since. “He even offered to take me on a romantic getaway before the baby comes,” she said, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
Hera shared how Zeus was excited but also a bit nervous, and he had been trying to make it up to her for his past indiscretions. “He’s been bringing me flowers every day and even offered to take me on a shopping spree,” she said, a smile playing on her lips.
The goddesses continued to share stories and laugh, enjoying each other’s company and the blessings of their pregnancies. As they sipped on their nectar and shared their cravings, it was clear that their husbands were doing everything they could to make this time special for them. And the goddesses couldn’t have been happier.
