Beth (Or Bella) P.O.V.
"Make way! Apollo get your lazy a** up! We have a baby due!" As soon as we got to Olympus Aphro was running around like a headless chicken.
"Aphrodite was all this shouting!" Uncle Z barged in the meeting room, looking annoyed that he was woken up, with Hera trailing behind him yawning.
"It'sBethshe'shavingthebaby!Ohicantbelievei'mgoingtobeanauntalready!notthati'mnotitsjustthatonefromBeth!Ohweshouldcallnthefarmers-waitwhythefarmers?Noidontknowwhotocall!Hahaha I'm losing my mind here!" She was between mumbling and shouting all while pacing up and down and hold her head between her hand.
"Aphrodite what's wrong?" Hephaestus asked hold her shoulder so she would stop walking.
"BABY!" She yelled, and then continued on with the ranting that no one could understand.
"Baby what?" Apollo asked annoyed rolling his eyes.
"What is Beth having her baby?" Artemis joked. She didn't think that was happening since I was calm except for when the cramps came then I winced.
"YES! That's exactly what's happening!" Aphro yelled out then continued ranting and ran out of the room yelling at everyone to wake up.
The rest in here looked confused for a second then realization came through and they stood shocked. That was only for another second before everyone started rushing giving orders, mumbling stuff, or just freaking out completely. Ha, it looks like they're having the baby not me.
"Do you need water or anything?" Apollo asked rushing over to me with Artemis hot and his trail.
"Of course she need water! Go bring her some!" Artemis yelled at him.
"I'm not going to get. I might miss something!" He whined.
"Fine! Yenna bring water! Hurry!" Nemis yelled out one of the kitchen servants. Yenna rushed out of the room quickly.
"Set up the rituals! Bring a-Beth do you want water or normal birth?" Apollo asked me. I didn't think of that. I guess I'll choose water because they say it's less painful and since my father is the god of the sea it makes since.
"Water. Lukewarm please." I told him, wincing when the pain washed over me again.
"Bring a birth pool!" He yelled out at no one particularly but I knew that someone would go and get a birth pool anyways.
"How long have you been in early labor?" he asked me brushing my hair behind my ears.
"I don't really know if I got an early labor. It was like all of a sudden BAM and I was getting really painful contractions-" You know the saying, Speaking of the devil? Yeah well that's what happened. A contraction hit me at full force making me groan in pain. "This f*cking Sh*t hurts like H*ll!" I muttered clutching my stomach.
"Beth, around how long do you think you are?" Apollo asked me looking at some charts that suddenly popped out of no where.
"A month" I said unsure. I wasn't really good with time, being immortal. Months felt like weeks to me.
"A month! Zeus's Fist you are! Beth you do NOT look like you're a month along!" Apollo looked at me with a 'come on tell me the truth' look.
"Apollo seriously I swear I was a virgin before then" I said holding my hands up. It usually took female goddess around 6 months to have babies. Well except for my mom's demi-gods that is. It only take around 15 minutes for her to form them in her mind. I am the only child of Athena (or well really Minerva) that was born…normally. Yeah, the whole thing 'bout mom being a 'virgin goddess' isn't true. Not really anyways. Or else I wouldn't be here. I was created when Minerva and Poseidon *cough*did it *cough* but it's a secret so almost no one knows.
"Beth this isn't something to joke about. If you really were a month along there should be some…complications because it's way to early for you to go into labor." He told me sincerely with worry in his eyes.
"Ha, yeah but I bet she's the only one crazy enough to f*ck a vampire" Ares yelled from the other side of the room laughing and shaking his head while looking for something in a box.
"True!" Nemis yelled coming in with several golden and silver stuff in her arms.
"Shut up Ares, Artemis" I mumbled under my breath but I'm pretty sure they heard me anyway because they were laughing. "Jerks" I mumbled again, but that only seemed to make it worse because they started laughing harder and other people joined in as well.
"Thank you for informing us Ares and Copy Cat but back to the -" Apollo got cut off by Nemis throwing something sharp at him heading for his head.
"It's not my fault that I'm so good at archery that you had to copy me!" Nemis yelled fuming.
"Well I was born first so I should of chosen it just for me!" Apollo yelled back.
"Well it wasn't my fault again! You just got a head start literally!"
"Yeah but I asked you if you wanted to go first, but no you just stayed there sucking her toe!"
"We couldn't even talk for goodness sake! And you know what tell the truth you were just a Winnie because you were to scarred to go out first!"
"Guys" I interrupted raising my voice and rolling my eyes. Of course they would start fighting in the middle of me having labor of my first child. Why didn't I think of that 100% possibility before?
"I was not a Winnie!" Apollo continued not even looking at me.
"So you admit you are one now? And I did NOT suck my toe that's just gross" Nemis also continued.
"Guys!" I tried again, but failed like last time.
"No! I am not admitting to anything!"
I sat on the floor because the contractions where coming closer together really fast and where more painful each time. Ugh, I should've been more care full about messing around. But some how I don't regret it. Sure if I could go back in time and change something I would tinkle with something's to get a different ending, but I wouldn't change the baby inside of me for the world.
This continued for another 20 minutes until the pain was unbearable. I had enough of them fighting for goodness sake!
"Hey you mother f*ckers! I'm in labor here if you would just shut the bloody hell up I would be thankful!" I yelled at them putting every ounce of my godly power into my voice. And trust me that's a lot. I don't know if it's just me or this labor is going by fast.
"Alright Beth I need you to push on the count of three, alright?" Apollo asked me looking up from where he was. This is a teensy bit awkward. Does he really have to see down there?
Everyone, and I mean everyone from Uncle Z to the lowest ranking god was here surrounding me ready for the birth of my first child. I wonder if their going to be demi-god or immortal like me? If they are born a demi-god I will do everything in my power to turn them into a god or goddess. I cant bear thinking about them dieing someday.
I nodded my head at Apollo and took a deep calming breath. Or at least I tried to. "Alright, 3-2-1 Push Beth Push!"
This was going on until like 20 minutes until I finally heard a cry. I had a few tears of happiness going down my checks. I waited for Apollo to clean them up. It felt like for ever but finally he passed me a little pink blanket. "Congrats, it's a girl" Apollo told me softly looking down at the small bundle of joy that I know held in my arms.
I laughed at my own crying and kissed the top of her head. She's my little girl and no one is going to take her away from me.
"What are you going to name her?" Mom asked me hugging me from behind trying not to get wet, but still close enough to kiss the baby and my cheek.
I thought for a moment. I wanted her to be smart like my mom and not make the stupid mistakes I did when I was young. So I'll name her Athena. But it'll be confusing between my mom and her so… Perfect! Anehta! Athena spelled backwards. I like the name Josephina so Anehta Josephina. I want her to be like Artemis so Simetra and mother like when she had her own babies so Areh like Hera.
"Anehta Josephina Simetra Areh" I said proudly looking down at her.
"Don't forget 'of Olympus' she's one of us Beth. You have your own little goddess now" Dad pushed his way to the other side of me with water eyes looking down at Anehta. I've never seen my dad cry before. Not even when his darkest days in his life happened. Never. Sure I've seen him disappointed, frustrated, and sometimes sad. But NEVER crying.
"Whoa, Beth that's a mouthful! What are you trying to do to the poor kid? Huh! Ruin her?" Ares appeared in front of the pool behind Apollo. "And since you names her after me I'll choose a nick-name…." his face twister like he was in deep thought. "Alex, Storm? Rider?"
"What about A.J.?" Nemis spoke up taking Anehta in her arms and rocking her softly looking down at her lovingly.
"Perfect" I smiled looking at A.J.. I cant help but wondering what she'll be like when she grows up. Would she be like me, the rebel or like her….father? Thinking about him made me sad. But I cant have that right now. Not anymore.
The reason for my existence is now currently in Nemis arms but not for long because I'll claim her back as soon as everyone blesses her with their gift including me.
Auntie Hestia brought me a bath robe for me to wrap myself in. Getting out of the pool with not one drop of water on me. It's good to be a daughter of Poseidon.
"Here lets-" Apollo didn't finish what he was saying when a giant BOOM was heard through out the room.
Not missing a beat Dad and Uncle Z started commanding people to find pout what had just happened. Nemis stood next to me with A.J. in her arms shushing her quietly because she started to cry.
"Monster's! Around 20 of them they say that they have a message!" Tallah - one of the main gate guards- came in running full speed in full armor .
"Protect Beth and the baby no matter what!" Dad hollered leaving in a bright light for a second before returning in a full body armor.
"Check the gates! All of them! And do NOT let the monsters come in no matter what!" Uncle Z yelled. "Hermes go get Hades quickly"
Hermes quickly left and so did most of the other people expect for the rest of the Olympians and 20 guards that were now at every door and window. The other's remaining where flanking me around 5 feet of distance.
Ugh! I hate feeling useless. "Take care of A.J. for me will you?" I asked, not waiting for her respond I left closing my eyes. When I opened them I was in my living room. Where did I leave it?
I ran into my room and opened my drawers. Moving around and taking out things I couldn't find it. Ah!
Biting my lip I looked around my room. Fudge! I forgot I took it to Camp! I cant get it now! It'll take too long and I wont leave my A.J. unprotected for that long. Going down the stairs towards the first floor I was reaching the last step when suddenly the front door was kicked opened and in came six chimera's and… Alaska. Great! I forgot to ask mom about Nicole.
Sighing I reached the last step and plopped on it resting my head on one of my hands. "Are we really going to do this all over again?" I asked in a bored tone eyeing the chimera's with caution. Where on earth did they get 6 chimera's? Surely Hades wouldn't side with them…right?
"Nope" When she said nope she popped the 'p'.
I then heard faint footsteps behind me quickly turning around to face what ever it was. But it was to late. I felt something prick the side of my neck and everything went black.
Ah, it feels good to update. I've been anxious about finishing this chapter. I could though because the last week has been all crazy with school. And a piece of advise chocolate cookies + lemonade = a stomach ache that does NOT feel good. Yep, I learned the hard way by eating them together at the same time Monday while eating at Subway.
Anyway I hoped you liked this chapter. And sorry for taking so long to update. I'll try to write more as soon as possible.
*** And I might change my username to 'Lily4Ever' 'cause I was looking at my profile and editing something I noticed that my full name sounded too….formal. But I'm not sure, I'm going to think about it.
