Hello everyone! I have returned after almost a month I think...And you're probably thinking, "Ohhhhh god! She is publishing another multichapter fic that will never be finished." Actually, while I was gone, I decided to do something different and write this multichapter fanfic that I just COULD NOT give up the idea of in it's entirety before publishing it, even if I kind of retired from romance...But there is ClayThena in this fanfic! Anyway, think of this as me being an animator and me having to make a 13 episode series before showing it on tv...Honestly I liked this better, it was much less stressful. I will publish a chapter each day, but may publish a bit quicker if there is a large demand...Not that I am begging for reviews because I honestly don't believe in begging for reviews in order to update.

And you're also probably wondering, "Emiko, why did you add a trigger warning for pregnancy?" Well, I mentioned in another fanfic I wrote that I happen to be tokophobic, and I want to set the warning for any of my readers who have the same fear, sadly people usually think people who get triggered by childbirth and sonograms need to suck it up..And honestly I am confused why I decided to write a fanfic with pregnancy, teenage pregnancy to be exact. I hate childbirth, and trust me it was not easy writing this without me doing dramatic hyperventilating and having to take breaks in between writing...But even though I feel childbirth is no miracle...At the same time I hate how teenage pregnancy is looked at so negatively...And so called pro choicers who think teenagers who accidentally get pregnant should be forced to keep the baby outta responsibility, no, just no! So yeah, I am not promoting or demoting teenage pregnancy with this fanfic...I am writing this because stuff like this happens, it's life!

Also the title is from the Leona Lewis song, the song I listened to when I got the story idea. It was originally just a beta name but after I finished writing this I could not think of a better name...Sadly the current title makes no sense. Oh well, on with the show!

Athena woke up slowly as refreshed as she fell asleep last night. Her long orange hair resting on the pearl white blanket and comforter. She sat up on the firm comforter and stretched her arms as far as she could. And smiled at the sunlight coming in from the slightly opened window.

Clay wasn't there though, how long had it been since she woke up next to Clay? She thought his job was really cool, like something out of a science fiction show, unfortunately it was very demanding for him.

Sometimes she wished she and Clay had normal part time jobs while going to university full time, but Apollo cringed at the thought, having a less than perfect university experience.

She kept herself positive by thinking about how she would see Clay in the afternoon, and Apollo, Ema, maybe Klavier. The possibilities are endless.

Athena thrust her fist forward. "Yeah!"

Meanwhile Apollo was stuck at police station, forehead covered in sweat and eye brow twitching. His lips were holding back some of his groaning.

"What do you mean Ema took it?" Apollo barked.

The man behind the computer looked at the firey attorney with great sorrow. "It didn't seem that important to you, I'm sorry."

Apollo wanted to punch walls. "The defendant of the last case wanted me to have it!" He yelled again.

"Ms. Skye was angered by that last piece of evidence, she said it looked like a toy and said she would be the one to take care of it." Said the older man.

"A TOY?!" Apollo cried in his head. "It still had a flower in it!" Apollo practically banged his hands on the table. Then he breathed out realizing what he had just said, "Well, almost a flower."

At the end of his latest case the pale skinned woman with long white hair smiled at him. Octavia Nox stroked her chin after thanking Apollo, and then told him to keep the tiny flower pot. Apollo was a bit confused, but then he smiled as well, cheek to cheek. It made the older woman giggle at him.

After thinking about this for the thousandth time he briefly remembered seeing Ema in the background, her head to the ground until she finally showed her saddened face a bit.

It didn't matter right now though, right now Apollo's first priority was to give the emotional detective a stern talking to. She did in fact steal something after all.

"I also remember that she wanted to know if Miss…Nox was it? Truly was innocent." The man behind the desk added.

Once again Apollo felt he was going to explode, but he knew the woman he defended was innocent, he saw it with his own to eyes and the culprit was such a cartoon character that he practically gave himself away to Apollo. But instead of causing all the workers more stress he headed straight for the door.

"I know she's innocent," Apollo groaned under his breath.

He shut the door leaving the worker's mouth a bit agape. The worker then realized that Apollo was literally going to go head to head with the infamous detective woman.

"Good luck Mr. Justice."


After finishing errands for Mr. Wright Athena walked off to a small deli down town of L.A. Eating a sandwich specialized with light mayonnaise and lots of mustard on French bread, and pepperoni and bacon on her already unhealthy lunch meat. She watched as everyone walked back and forth, the area was crowded today.

The wind blew through Athena's long tied hair and she gasped at the sight of three mothers walking hand and hand with their toddlers. The toddlers with big innocent eyes and their mothers looking down joyful and proud. The young attorney stared blankly though, her body frozen until the mothers and their children left her sight completely.

Finally she got out of her trance but her head still hurt, and felt pain in her abdomen. Too much sour mustard maybe? Or greasy pepperoni.

"Ugh, I don't feel too well!"


Yeah...I'm usually not one for writing chapters this short...But I couldn't think of any other way to make this chapter better. Gentle foreshadowing it is...I guess.

Review and stay tuned for more!
