The candy-coated clouds of Brigitte’s castle glistened in the sky, as the goddess of joy and candy welcomed her dearest friends into her pastel-colored living room. Hera, Amphitrite, and Persephone sat down on plush candy cushions, munching on cloud-shaped marshmallows and sipping on fizzy lemonade.
Hera, the queen of the gods, sighed heavily, her golden hair cascading down her shoulders. “Zeus’s snoring is driving me up the wall. I swear, if he keeps me awake for one more night, I’ll turn him into a snoring statue!”
Brigitte chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Oh, Hera, you know you love him, even when he keeps you up at night.”
Amphitrite, the goddess of the sea, adjusted her seashell bra, wincing slightly. “At least your husband doesn’t keep you awake with his snoring. I can barely move without feeling like my breasts are on fire.”
Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, shared a sympathetic smile. “I’ve been having the wildest dreams, both good and bad. It’s as if my mind is preparing me for the chaos of motherhood.”
Brigitte patted her belly, her smile fading a little. “I’ve been dealing with morning sickness. The irony of a goddess of joy and candy being sick from food is not lost on me.”
The group laughed, and Hera placed a comforting hand on Brigitte’s shoulder. “We’re all in this together, dear friend. And it seems we’re all having boys!”
Amphitrite nodded, grinning. “Poseidon is thrilled. He can’t wait to teach our son the ways of the sea.”
Persephone’s expression softened. “Hades is a bit indifferent, but he’s been respectful. I’m having a boy and a girl, you know.”
Brigitte’s eyes widened. “How wonderful! Apollo and I are also having a boy. I can’t wait to have a mini-Apollo to worship me.”
The goddesses teased Brigitte, their laughter echoing through the candy-filled rooms. They discussed their husbands’ reactions to the pregnancies, sharing stories of shock, excitement, and indifference.
Hera mentioned how Zeus tried to help around the house, but his clumsiness only caused more work. Amphitrite praised Poseidon’s newfound appreciation for her, and Persephone shared how Hades’s distant but respectful behavior had changed slightly.
Brigitte shared how Apollo pampered her, and the others expressed their jealousy. They promised to support each other through the journey ahead, celebrating their pregnancies, their friendships, and the humor in their situations.
As the sun began to set, the goddesses said their goodbyes, leaving Brigitte alone in her candy castle. She looked out at the sky, her heart full of joy and anticipation. Despite the challenges ahead, she knew she was blessed to have such strong, controlling, and direct women by her side.
