The living room of the gods’ apartment in Olympus was bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun as Aniya, a stunning goddess with tan skin and curly brown hair, lounged on the couch. She was still feeling a bit queasy after a morning sickness episode, but she was trying her best to shake it off.
The door to the living room swung open, and in walked Hermes, the god of thieves and Aniya’s husband. He had a mischievous glint in his eye as he approached Aniya, unable to resist the temptation to play a prank on his pregnant wife.
“Hey there, beautiful,” Hermes said, a smirk playing on his lips.
Aniya looked up at him and rolled her eyes, “Don’t you ‘beautiful’ me, Hermes. I’m feeling less than beautiful after that morning sickness episode.”
Hermes chuckled, “Oh, come on. You know you’re still the most gorgeous goddess in all of Olympus.”
Aniya couldn’t help but smile at her husband’s flattery. Hermes leaned down and planted a kiss on Aniya’s belly, causing her to jump in surprise.
“Ugh, Hermes! Can’t you give a girl some warning before you go puckering up like that?” Aniya playfully scolded him.
Hermes laughed, “I couldn’t resist, my love. You’re just too tempting.”
Aniya rolled her eyes, but couldn’t help the flush that crept up her cheeks. “Well, if you’re going to be kissing my belly, you might as well make it worth my while,” she said, patting the space next to her on the couch.
Hermes happily obliged, snuggling up next to Aniya and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. “You know, I can’t wait to meet our little ones,” Hermes said, resting his hand on Aniya’s belly.
Aniya sighed contentedly, “I know, me neither. But I have a feeling they’re going to give us a run for our money.”
Hermes chuckled, “Oh, I have no doubt about that. But I have a feeling they’ll be just as mischievous and playful as their mother.”
Aniya laughed, “Well, they did inherit their father’s good looks, so I guess they have to get their mischief from somewhere.”
Hermes grinned, “I’ll take that as a compliment, my love.”
The two continued to cuddle and chat, the love between them palpable in the air. Aniya couldn’t help but feel grateful for Hermes and his playful antics, even if they did sometimes catch her off guard. She knew that no matter what, she and Hermes would always have each other’s backs, and she couldn’t wait to see what the future held for them and their little ones.
