Hermione rubbed her small belly, three months pregnant and barely showing. It was late in the night but Hermione could not find peace nor sleep, she missed Skyler greatly…missed being held in her arms and her whispers of love. Her children slept in their bed beside her giving some comfort to her in the fact that her late wife had left behind her own legacy, with another on the way. But the thought of their children growing up with out the one who sired them brought tears to her eyes as the memories of Skye's last visit came to mind…

~ Having given birth only three months ago Hermione smiled at how well her children were growing. Blushing a bit at how Annabeth's and Queen Elara's teases echoed in her mind. Skyler's seed having been much more potent then realized as they had only expected one to be born so it came as quite a surprise during the birthing when the physician had said there was one small body she needed to push out. But Hermione was grateful in the birth of her children, and she laughed quietly to herself remembering her wife's in her last letter when she stated that it mattered not what they had only that their children were healthy and as beautiful as their mother…also adding that if they indeed had a girl she would not mind trying again and again until their union bore a son.

Having just fed put them to nap about two hours ago Hermione rested on her large bed back against the headboard, head leaned back and eyes closed. Though she was happy it saddened her that Skyler had yet to see their children, let alone even hold them. How long would they go with out their other mother? Would they ever get to meet her? The thoughts swirling in her mind at the moment brought a frown to her lips and a furrow in her brow…no she couldn't think like that. Skyler would end this war and be back to help raise their children.

Feeling eyes on her brown eyes shot open and to the door widening in happy surprise when finding a familiar figure leaning in the door way watching her lovingly. Titus already her her side panting happily.

"Skye." She whispered the name only to find her wife put a finger to her lips before moving forward. Jumping from the bed the brunette padded quietly to her warrior jumping to embrace her tightly. Their lips met immediately as happy tears fell from liquid brown. She felt her warrior carry her back to the bed and gently lay her down. Breaking the kiss she pushed Skyler back slightly, "we can't love, the children are asleep."

"Ok" Skyler replied softly heavenly eyes roaming her features as if trying to find anything out of place from what memory held. "I just want to be close to you my heart.." Skye's voice was so soft and reverent Hermione could not help but to pull her down again to kiss her. That's how they spent the next hour on their bed content in the others arms, whispering gentle words and soft kisses. It wasn't until hearing their son begin to fuss (Hermione just knew the difference in her children's cries) did they remove themselves from each other and the bed to check the new members of the Royal family.

Hermione looked down as the twins smiled toothlessly at their mother once in sight. She had yet to tell her wife of the surprise since the birth as she wanted to see Skye's face when she found out. Annabeth as well as her in laws had kept quiet as well so with ease the brunette pulled her son in her arms and turned to her wife, "your son Spartan." She said happily holding toward his sire, " Prince Andre of Sparta" Skye had a look of awe in her eyes as she stepped forward carefully taking their boy in her arms. "He's beautiful Hermione." Skyler said happily a grin crossing her lips when the boy grabbed her finger, "And strong too. He'll make a fine Spartan warrior" the brunette princess could see how her wife's chest puffed out in pride and she rolled her eyes but chuckled nonetheless.

Titus moved from laying on the floor and barked happily before moving to the crib and urging for Skye to look inside. Brown eyes glimmered brightly when Skye looked at their furry companion curiously, "Titus? My son is here not there."

"Come and see love, what he wants you to look at" confusion and curiosity evident on her feature Hermione watched as Skyler slowly walked over and gasping in surprise seeing the baby girl lying in the crib giggling at Skye's reaction. Hermione too giggled picking her daughter up and giving proper introduction. "Your daughter my warrior, Princess Alexa of Sparta." With pride and happiness the princess watched her warrior take their daughter in her arms and hold both son and daughter closer. Andre and Alexa giggling happily as they squirmed in their father's arms. Skyler laughed along with them as she bounced them up and down a bit. Unable to hold back the tears of happiness Hermione let them fall and moved closed cupping her wife's face when finding those piercing orbs shining with tears of their own.

They spent most of the day in their chambers, Hermione watching her wife interact with their children telling them stories both passed down and of her own adventures. The former Roman able to tell that her strong and brave warrior was already wrapped around their daughters little finger as well as protective of her as she caught Skye whispering in to their son to guard and protect her at all costs. Though she could help but roll her eyes at the double standard she already held because Skye was already praising her son on his looks and strength and he would have both men and women after him. Having only expected one child Hermione laughed happily when Skyler gifted their son the wooden carving of a lion only to call for one of their servants to bring more wood as Skye would carve something for their little girl as well. Andre loved his toy already gnawing on it happily laying in their bed. Skyler sat at the edge with Alexa in her lap, both carving and telling stories of a brave hero. Little Alexa's eyes shone with wonder Looking up at her other mother listening to her voice. Hermione sat behind her with an arm rested on a strong shoulder listening to her loves words eyes glimmering with happiness as they watched their son. Her warrior was home and their children were spending time with their father.

A knock came at the door interrupting their bubble of family bliss. "Enter." Came Skye's absentminded voice before going back to finishing her story.

"I'm sorry for the interruption your highness' but the Queen requests your company for supper."

Seeing as Skye wasn't really paying attention Hermione answered, "Thank you, we will be there shortly. The prince is other wise preoccupied." The girl smiled in understanding before taking her leave.

Kissing her wife's neck she said quietly, "Come love go to father and mother I will be there shortly."

At this Skyler blew at the carving in her hands, the wood chips flying to the floor before pocketing it and turning to face her laying Alexa next to her brother, "If I recall correctly I think my mother requested both of us." Finishing by wrapping strong arms around the brunettes waist and pulling her close.

"I know…but your children must eat too. They are the spawn of warriors and eat as such, do not let their size fool you."

"Do they now? Well as warrior to warrior I have already lay claim on the well from which they feed." Skyler replied with a small growl at the end moving to suckling her wife's collarbone and moving down.

"Mmm…be….t-that as it may…oh gods.." Pulling Skye up to connect their lips Hermione snaked a hand down cupping her wife and rubbing. Smirking when Skye's cock hardened, pushing the warrior back she giggled when Skyler whined, "Go..we can finish after. You'll need your strength Spartan…tonight I wish to test the stamina warriors are known for." Hermione ended with a wink before gathering her children.

"You my wife…are a tease." Skyler groaned but doing as told.

Needless to say Hermione never made to dinner having been ambushed once walking out of her room only to be whisked back in by her insatiable warrior who took her again and again and again. Making up for time missed apart, with a loud high pitched moan signaling another release. Skye still inside her thrusting as she too found release, spilling more and more of her hot seed.

"Wait..wait.." Hermione panted pushing Skyler back against the bed following by collapsing on her chest.

She felt as well as heard her wife chuckle while holding her close and peppering kisses along her shoulder and neck, "too much my love?"

"Only a short rest..I've yet to finish with you my wife."

Before Skyler could reply a knock came at the door before opening and the royal couple sat up not bothering to cover themselves. "That is why you ended up with these two." Iona said playfully carrying the fussing young prince and princess in her arms. "I'm sorry to disturb your night but I drop believe they are hungry."

Hermione disconnected herself from Skyler moaning at the loss of contact and smacking the warrior when finding her grinning mischievously. Iona passed her her children who Immediately found a taut peak and began to suckle. She was really sensitive from her later activities so Hermione felt a little uncomfortable but it soon went away. She smiled brightly when Skyler moved behind pulling her closed and the brunette leaned back into the strong body of her warrior, "Thank you Iona, I think it best they sleep with us tonight we've had our fun."

"Of course." The woman smiled taking her leave and Hermione sighed contently as she reveled in the presence of her family all together again.

"You weren't kidding when you said they ate as warriors." Both women chuckled softly before looking down as their children fed. After a moment the brunette asked, "What are you thinking about?" Her voice gentle.

"Just that I do not want to miss them grow. I want to see my son grow tall and watch the girls and boys chase after him. I want to see our daughter grow as beautiful as her mother and complain that I, her brother, uncle, grandfather and Clarisse are too protective of her. Hear you laugh then yell at me for chasing away any and all potential suitors…" Hermione giggled at that because she could see that image in her mind as clearly as day but continued to listen. Skye sighed softly kissing brown locks before rest her chin on the shorter girls shoulder, not before planting another kiss. "But with the way this war is going…I fear that our children will see me as nothing more then a stranger then their father, mother which they wish to call me."

"They knew you before you even held them love. I've told them every night that you are gone of who you are. Why you are away from us, they give me strength when you are gone because I know you will return to us..some nights it's hard but then I see them smile and…I see you..hear your voice telling me not to give up to have faith." Swallowing hard Hermione could not do much to keep the tears from falling but napping in know Skye was there holding her close. Whispering in her ear. "I'm sorry you must go through this alone..I wish every moment to be here with you and our children…I pray to the gods every day and night to protect me…I promise I will always return to you..no matter what…no matter how long it takes...I can not live with out you."

"Oh? And why is that? you did so just fine before me.."

"I was a walking corpse my love…but when you came into my life…I knew then what it was like to have a heart..and you are mine. And one cannot live with out a heart."~

The tears continued to fall as Hermione wept quietly in her bed. Knowing how true Skye's words that night had been..but she couldn't break especially with their last child growing in her belly and the young prince and princess needing her guidance now that their sire was gone. Skyler had promised to return to her but how could she if was dead? This made the tears fall even harder as she held herself.

A light knock came at the door and Hermione moved to open it, she was a little surprised to find both the Queen and Annabeth standing before her. The blonde's eyes puffing from crying though she found it strange to find her smiling instead of mourning for her dead lover.

"Hermione, they're alive."

"What? Don't be ridiculous Annabeth you were there when the messenger gave of the news of the camps destruction there were no survivors."

"She speaks true daughter, Skyler's Captain and Lieutenant came just now with news…They Live Hermione…Skyler and Clarisse are Alive"

"If so then where are they are they?"

"Wake up!"

Piercing eyes snapped open as Skyler growled fiercely at the slaver banging against the cage. Feeling a nudge she turned to face her friend who nodded behind her. Looking over Skyler groaned seeing the stalls and the podium in which she and the daughter of Aries would be show cased..praying to the god Skye hoped they were bought by someone decent at least. The chances of that however were very unlikely and because of her difference she was more then likely to be solid to the highest bidding noble. She had not forgetting the people's vices..how someone like her wife ever came from a place like this was something short of a miracle.

They had been traveling for weeks and both she and Clarisse prayed their brothers in arms made it back home. If not things would be a lot more complicated in their plans, still Skye would not rest until her father and her people were avenged. The wagon came to an abrupt stop, cage opened and their more then less savory slaver's assistants ordered them off and into line with all the other waiting slaves.

With just their hands bound Skye knew they could easily try and make for an escape but they didn't come all this way to turn tail and run. The brunette and Spartan heir stood side by side as signs were put around their necks. Looking down at her Clarisse commented, "Not bad 'Mala' I am destructive."

Skyler snorted at this but had to agree. When her's was placed around her neck Skyler grinned especially when Clarisse's groaned, "Oh come on really yours is much better then being destructive."

"Hey that's how it is, beside I think threatening to come back from the grave scared him a bit."

"I never got to thank you for that." The brunette said softly.

"You would have done the same for me. I wasn't going to let those bastards have their way with you."

"Yeah yeah enough with the stirrings already." Skyler grinned shoulder bumping her friend who smiled back.

The pair stood there for about another hour before they were pulled aside sacks thrown over their heads and forced led up to the stage. Skyler stood perfectly still, straight and tall clenching her jaw in irritation. She could hear the crowd awing at her presence it must be the tattoos she received on her travels. When going out into battle she normally kept them covered so as not to give away who she was to her enemies, however since becoming a slave the only thing cover were breast, ass, and cock. But it wasn't like she wasn't proud of her body, no she was more then proud of her body and she was pretty sure the crowd of these wanton Romans liked looking at it wishing they could have it. But her days of giving her body to others was over only one was allowed to touch her and she was home with their children..heart broken no doubt if Daro and Alec didn't make back.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have. Special treat for you today.." She hears her seller begin, "Upon my travels I have seen many a thing, but nothing as finer a specimen as the one I would reveal to you now. Strong and beautiful yes?" He asked and the crowd answered vivaciously with cheers and whistles, as well as a few raunchy comments especially from one man who said he wouldn't mind if her mouth was as beautiful as her body, his cock would indeed enjoy it.

"With a mouth like yours it's her cock that should be enjoying pleasure." The crowd laughed at that thinking it was a joke only when they quieted Skyler knew he was probably giving a face of seriousness, "I do not joke, this right here is no mere woman. Or man however you wish to see…the gods bless you with a rare aphrodisiac this day but who would claim such a prize? This right here is more then a mere Gladiator."

"Show us then." Came a commanding female voice. And Skyler could hear the whispers of the crowd and cursed that she had a damn sack over her head. Luckily for her in the next moment the sack was removed and she had to blinked rapidly for her eyes to adjust to the sudden light. When finally able to see clearly the crowd stood staring at her quietly, her eyes roaming backward until coming to an extravagant litter being held by eight bearers. The current drawn around it was only open so much so Skyler couldn't see the face of the woman inside, and the only reason she knew it was a woman was because of the arm she waved out as if silently commanding the seller of something.

The man moved to stand behind her and whispered, "Remove your loincloth."

Clenching her jaw Skye only turned and glared at the woman hidden behind the veil of silk. She yet again waved her hand and Skye was roughly grabbed by her arms and neck. Struggling until a dagger was put to her throat, she snarled but did nothing else even when the seller untied her loincloth and it fell to the wooden stage. The crowd gasped and whistled a bit and internally Skye grinned knowing she had more then half the men in the crown jealous of her size. And as her wife so thoroughly noted one night that she was a shower and a grower. A term description she had apparently learn from her own mother. Well it wasn't like Hermione complained, Skye did more then satisfactory when pleasuring her wife. But in this moment she, felt exposed and shamed in the fact that her body was only meant for one and one only and to be paraded around like this…again…well it was demeaning.

Her thoughts were brought back to when the crowd groaned and complained a bit when the woman hidden in the litter sent forth one of her slaves to give payment…Skyler knew then she was bought and she had an idea as to why. Immediately she turned to Clarisse but the brunette shook her head no. Colorful eyes pleaded with brown but the daughter of Aries would not have. With a nod of resignation Skye took and tied her loincloth to cover herself as she was forced toward her new master…Domina.

She was stopped when standing beside the litter and Skye could see inside and if it were for the cold light brown eyes, she would admit that the woman inside was a sight. She smirked amused as if knowing what she was thinking, "You are quite the specimen aren't you…mm yes my sister will enjoy her new toy…buut….I must see if you are…up to the task."

Looks like we have a new player in the game which will most definitely complicate things as well as our warriors being separated. How will the news of their beloveds change the plans made by our ladies back in Sparta?

Love it? Hate it? Let me know what you think
