Gabrielle: Warrior Princess
Chapter 22
Gabrielle laughed for a few seconds.
"Give me a break." She said. Ares sat down, a serious look upon his face. Gabrielle noticed this.
"I'm serious." He said. "I love Xena with all of my heart, and I know that I'll never be with her. First of all, because of the fact that she's dead, and second of all because her soul is now in your daughter."
"Yeah, so?" Gabrielle asked.
"Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but I do care about you Gabrielle. Why do you think that I saved your life on Olympus?" Ares asked.
"You said I was an after thought." Gabrielle said.
"No I didn't." Ares defended.
"Yes you did." Gabrielle said.
"When?" Ares asked.
"When we were sitting at your farmhouse before it rained." Gabrielle declared. Ares thought back to his mortal life.
"Oh, you've got a point." He said. Gabrielle laughed again and laid down in her bedroll again. Ares disappeared, knowing that he was never going to get his warrior princess, or her friend.
In the morning, Gabrielle and Grace were riding Midnight into Amphipolis. Grace was laughing and giggling all morning, and Gabrielle would listen to the baby's coos. She smiled when her baby would tilt her head up and look at her. Gabrielle would grin down at the baby, and the baby would wave a chubby little arm.
"Mama!" Grace suddenly cried out. She started to cry. Gabrielle knew it was time for a diaper change.
"All right sweetie." Gabrielle said. "We'll stop up here in the woods and get you changed." She rode out of Amphipolis and into the forest. She tied up Midnight and took the baby out into the middle of the woods. She cleaned the baby up and put her in a fresh diaper. The baby giggled when she was clean. "There's my good girl." Gabrielle declared as the baby clapped her hands together happily. Then, Gabrielle headed for Potedia to tell Lila the bad news about Sarah, Sarah's husband, and their daughter.
