Xena looks down at her stomach, with her hands around it, with a wide-eye look on her face. Then her face goes back to normal.
"What a Quack!" Xena says with a wave of a hand,
-Wait. I slept with 'him'. It was awesome sex. He's so big in size. But, he was so gentle and careful with me. He's a much better sleeping partner then his buddy. He kept me screaming for more. He touched me in ways I never knew or felt. I was screaming and moaning like a banshee. He was growling like Bacchus in heat. A few people came and told us to keep it quiet. We tried, but we couldn't. We had sex all night long. It's the best sex I ever had with anyone! Besides, him! I got to find 'him'!-
Xena goes to the stables, gets Argo, and walks out of the stables. Jumps onto Argo and rides off to the next town. She arrives at the next town mid-day. She asks if they have seen Hercules or Iolaus.
"They went to the next town, south of this town." A local villager says,
"What's the town called?" Xena asks quizzically,
"It's called Honetia." The villager says informingly,
"Ok, thank you." Xena says,
She walks to Argo, gets on Argo and rides to Honetia. She gets there at 10:00 at night. Xena puts Argo in the stables. She walks to a tavern. She's about to ask if they have seen Hercules or Iolaus. But, she spots them sitting at a table. She orders milk and shows the tavern keeper where she's sitting. She walks over to where Hercules and Iolaus are sitting. Hercules and Iolaus look up at the same time. They get surprised looks on their faces. They stand up.
"What are you doing her Xena? It's great to see you again." Hercules asks and says smiling,
"Hello, Xena. Nice to see you again. Where's Gabrielle?" Iolaus says and asks looking around for Gabrielle,
"When did you get here?" Hercules asks,
"How are you and Gabrielle?" Iolaus says looking at Xena and still trying to find Gabby,
"Where is Gabrielle?" Iolaus asks still looking for Gabby,
"Ok, stop bombarding me with questions. I'll answer questions one at a time. I got here a few minutes ago. You like Gabrielle much?" Xena asks holding up her hands, at the last line looks at Iolaus with wonder,
"Yes, it's more than like. It's love. I love Gabrielle." Iolaus blushes at first, and then he smiles proudly,
"Did you know about this, Hercules?" Xena says looking at Iolaus, then Hercules, then back at Iolaus,
"I knew about it. Iolaus and I are best friends. We don't keep secrets from each other. I told him to tell Gabrielle. But, he was too afraid of being rejected by her." Hercules says slapping Iolaus's back lightly,
"Still am! Where is Gabrielle? I thought you girls always traveled together!?" Iolaus says, asks again still trying to find her, and says and asks matter-of-factly,
"Gabrielle?! Don't speak her name! I never want to see her again! I never want to talk to her EVER again! But, I need to. I need your guys help, talking some sense into her." Xena says angrily with a crazed look in her eyes, and then she says desperately,
"What's wrong with Gabrielle?" Iolaus and Hercules ask with great concern,
"You just have to see for yourselves. You'll be shocked. It's a real shock if you know Gabrielle as well as I do." Xena says solemnly,
"Ok. We'll help you, Xena. Because Gabrielle is a pure soul and we don't want her to change." Hercules says patting Xena on the back,
"Yes. We'll help anyway we can." Iolaus adds,
"Good. I'm starving, I need food." Xena says shaking Hercules's and Iolaus's hands,
"What do you want to eat?" Hercules asks,
"Ribs, fish, salt pork, and beef stew. I want milk to drink." Xena says and her stomach growls,
"You're hungry! Need help eating it? Hercules says hearing Xena's stomach growl,
"Yes, I should be. That's because, I'm pregnant." Xena says quietly that she's pregnant,
"What did you say? You said 'yes I should be' and what else did you say?" Hercules says with wonder,
"I said I'm pregnant!" Xena says looking at Hercules and Iolaus, and then at her stomach,
"You're pregnant?! Really?! Who's the baby's father? When is the baby due?" Iol and Herc ask at the same time and both look down at her stomach,
"Yes! I'm pregnant for real. The baby is due in four months. The baby's father is you, Hercules." Xena says smiling down at her belly; she looks up at Hercules when she says the last part,
"It's Hercules baby? Are you sure it's his? Iolaus says disbelieving,
"Yes. It's Hercules baby. I don't sleep around." Xena says with anger in her tone,
"Sorry! I was just making sure it was his." Iolaus says apologetically,
'It's ok. I understand your concern. It's Hercules baby. I slept with no one else since the last time I was with him." Xena says with total truth in her eyes,
"The baby's mine?! Mine? Hercules: The Legendary Man-Whore." Herc says looking shocked,
