~*April's POV*~

One year later

It was a year later that something major happened.

I was washing dishes from Hermes and my lunch when Megan came bursting through the door.

"April. April. April." she sang as she came into the kitchen. "We so have to do another girls night. Please? I have tonight free. I convinced Apollo to take the girls tonight." Megan did the puppy eyes.

"You are twenty years old. You know that won't work." I sighed. Then grinned. "Of course I will. Where are we going?"

Megan got a mischievous grin and said 6 words that would change my happy little world around me. "We are going to a bar."

So that is how I found myself at 7:00 drunk off my ever loving ass.

"This party is awesome!" I slurred.

We were stumbling up to the empire state building.

"Megan, we should totally do this again sometime." I hiccuped.

"No you won't." said a voice. "Not without permission. You girls are drunker than a skunk. Lets get you home."

I saw Hermes holding Megan's arm and steering her towards a gray chariot.

I growled. He's mine. I thought.

I must've said it outloud because Hermes' head snapped in my direction. His eyes were darkened.

Megan giggled and said in a deep voice: "I better not hear a word from you two. I swear-" she trailed off in a fit of giggles.

I laughed too. It was so funny. She did a perfect impression of Hermes.

We arrived at Megan's house. She did another impression before saluting Hermes and going inside.

I busted up laughing. I was suddenly picked up and tossed over Hermes' shoulder.

I was set down in our room.

"You think that's funny, do you?" he asked, eyes glinting.

"Yep." I nodded.

"Well. Lets see if you think this is funny." He kissed me. I moaned. "Still funny?"

I nodded.

He got a wicked look on his face.

I don't remember much of that night.

Two months later, I was taking a nap when Megan walked in.

"So . . . What's up?" she asked.

I sat up and yawned. "What do ya mean?"

"You've been taking quite a lot of naps." Megan noted, oddly serious for once.

I just looked at her. "And why are you concerned?" I snipped at her.

"That's another thing, you've been a lot more testy lately." She continued.

"I'm sorry." I said, suddenly feeling sad. I cried. "I just don't know what's wrong." I sniffled. "I mean, I am eating a lot more which scares me. I don't want to be fat again. I am also sleeping more, more emotional, I even missed two periods because I am stressed about being fat. It just doesn't make any sense."

Megan just nodded with a thoughtful look. "Come with me."

She helped me up and pulled me to her house.

I walked in to see Apollo playing with all of his girls. Leto Jordan and Marisol Artemis are six almost seven. Natasha is one.

Apollo looked up and said "Nice to see you sleepy head."

I just glared at him.

Megan whispered in his ear. He nodded and was about to speak when Leto Jordan spoke up.

"Your baby is imagining life with you."

I was shocked. "Baby!"

She nodded.

I whimpered. "Please don't tell him."

Megan looked about to protest when Apollo nodded.

"We understand. It is not our place to." Apollo said with a firm look at Megan.

Megan sighed in defeat. She reluctantly nodded. "Tell him, soon, please? He's already worried as it is."

I was shocked. "What do you mean?"

Megan snorted. "He asked me to talk to you a few hours ago. Said he was extremely worried that you were sick or something."

"I don't want him to know." I said stubbornly.

"We aren't telling him." Apollo reassured.

"Can I ask why not?" Megan asked.

I started to cry. "Please, I don't want to talk about it."

Megan sighed. "Alright fine. We won't talk about it."

"Talk about what?" Asked a voice.

I stiffened and turned to see Hermes standing in the doorway.

"I knocked but you didn't answer so I picked the lock." He said impishly.

Apollo sighed. "Hermes. Please don't pick my lock."

"Well, next time get the door." He shot back. "So . . . what's going on? I see you're up, April."

"Are you accusing me of being lazy?" I snapped at him.

"What? No!"

"Then what are you implying?" I demanded.

I was completely irrational at the moment but my anger overshadowed any thoughts about calming down.

"Nothing!" He said a little panicked.

"Gods! I can't stand you!" I stormed out and went back home. I grabbed a backpack and packed a few clothes. I stomped back outside and took off for the elevator.

I will drive to my dad's, I thought. No. That's one of the first places he'll look.

I ended up driving until I stopped in Oklahoma. I ran out of gas on a little country road.

Then a Cyclops appeared and hit the back of my car. My car spun and hit some trees that lined the side of the road.

The last thing I saw was a glowing light and a woman with blonde hair the color of wheat standing over me.

Hermes' POV

I was shocked. What the Tartarus is wrong with April?

Megan just looked at me. "Are you going after her?"

All I could do was stand there.

Megan waved her hand in front of my face.

I just stared not blinking. What is wrong with her? I was worried. She slept more, was more emotional and . . . and . . . What if she is . . . ? No. She can't be. We used protection every time. Except . . .

I jumped. Megan had doused me in cold water.

"What the heck?" I yelled. "Why did you do that? Oh, and by the way is April having a baby?"

Megan opened her mouth but Leto beat her to it.

"Yes she is Grandpa." She smiled sweetly. "That baby has such an active imagination."

"Leto Jordan! We promised not to tell." Megan said.

Leto got a haughty look on her face. "You promised. I didn't promise jack diddly squat."

"Hey, man you might want to go check on her." Apollo said.

I nodded and flashed to my house. When I arrived I couldn't find April anywhere.

I wanted to curl up and sleep again but I pushed through. I have to find her. For us and our baby. That's all I would do. I will find her.

I flashed to the throne room.

"Dad!" I shouted. A second later Zeus flashed in.

"Yes Hermes?"

"Did anyone leave Olympus today about an hour ago?" I asked nervously.

"Yes. Why?" He asked.

"Damit April." I muttered.

I must have not done it quiet enough because Zeus asked. "What's wrong with April?"

"She left." I said simply. "And she's pregnant."

Zeus just sighed. "What is it with you guys? First Apollo and now you. Who's next? Ares?"

While he was talking Apollo flashed in. He must have caught the last of what was said because he was glowing.

"I'd advise you to put that thought out of your head. I have seen Ares' soulmate and I am not happy." He gritted out between his teeth.

Zeus busted out laughing. "Oh so it must be one of your daughters, then. Hmm. I wonder. Natasha?" He asked.

Apollo glowed a little bit brighter but shook his head.

"Marisol? No that wouldn't work she is too timid. Ah. Leto Jordan."

Apollo tensed up and glowed so hot I was afraid to touch him. "No! My daughter will not be with Ares! I forbid it!" He howled.

The air got so hot I was sweating. I saw another flash and Megan appeared. She took one look, walked up and slapped Apollo on the back of the head. The glow abruptly stopped.

"Ow! What did you do that for woman!" He barked.

"Oh shut up Apollo. You are so overprotective. Don't get me wrong that's a good thing sometimes, but you don't know when not to be. You have twelve more years until she's eighteen. Enjoy her as she is now because she won't be little for long." Megan said shutting him up. "And you, don't rile him up." She shook her finger at Zeus. "I know some pretty good tricks to get you to behave and I might just share them with Hera."

Apollo and Zeus paled.

"Please don't." Zeus pleaded.

I cleared my throat. "Back to the situation at hand. April?"

"We'll look for her." Zeus reassured.

"Yeah. We'll look for her." Megan agreed.

Three weeks later

Oh, April, where are you my love.

Mystery Woman's POV

I was out tending my fields when I heard a huge crash and saw a cyclops about to pick up a car. I also saw a flash of bright red hair in the car and thought, Is that April?

I flashed over to the car and killed the cyclops. I peaked into the window and saw April about to pass out. She had a cut on her forehead and what looks like a broken arm. I carried her out of the car and brought her to my house that I have out here.

I laid her down in one of my guest bedrooms and healed her cuts and bruises. I set her arm and looked her over for any other injuries. I saw she was pregnant.

Oh, dear. I hope the baby's okay. I don't know how to check. I am not a doctor goddess.

I sat down in a chair and waited for her to wake up.

April's POV

I was lost in a world of blackness. My only constant thought was: I have to come back. My baby needs me. Hermes needs me. I was selfish. I need Hermes.

I woke up to see a ceiling fan swirling up above me. I stared at it for a while then decided to get up.

I stumbled downstairs of the house I was in. It was a simple two story house with pictures of various gods and demigods along the walls.

So I was either in the home of a demigod or god/goddess.

I smelt food coming from the kitchen. I walked in to see that same lady from before I passed out cooking something on the stove.

I smelt it. But I wanted cereal.

"Excuse me? Ma'am? Do you have any cereal? I am starving." I said.

The woman turned. She had blonde hair tied up in a bun and brown eyes.

"You like cereal?" she said excitedly.

"Yes I do." I said.

"What's your favorite?" She asked getting out a bowl and some milk.

"What kinds do you have?" I asked.

"Oh any kind you want. I have an endless supply."

"I'll have some Kixx." I said

She made a box appear out of thin air.

"Might I ask who you are?" I asked timidly. "And thank you for saving me."

The lady sighed. "You caused quite an uproar on Olympus. Hermes hasn't slept since last he saw you. He knows about the baby and says he won't rest until he finds you."

"How long have I been out?" I asked.

"Oh about four weeks." She replied.

"What? I have to go back." I stood up quickly and almost fell over.

"You can't yet. You have to get better. I can only do so much healing." She said.

My head spun. "Can you . . . can you help me back to bed?" I asked.

She nodded. "Of course, dear." She helped me up and led me to bed.

I yawned. You never answered my question. "Who are you?"

She laid me down in the bed. "I will tell you when you wake up." She brushed my hair behind my ear. "Goodnight April."

I closed my eyes and flew off to Morpheus' realm.


Hope you enjoy
