Part 2
Well, three months passed yet again, and yet again, Xena was with child. She cried herself to sleep most nights and Ares would hold her and comfort her. Xena was ashamed at herself for being so weak, but she knew it was the hormones.
She was a girl of 13 year old. She'd barely had time to live her childhood. She went to Ares early in the morning on a warm spring day.
"My Queen." He said as he greeted her with a kiss. He rubbed Xena's belly. It was barely noticeable that she was expecting. In fact, to the unknowing person, she didn't look pregnant at all.
"I'm going out today. I shall be gone all day and return tonight." Xena declared. The king nodded.
"Will you be taking the children?" he asked.
"Yes. I'm going to show them what nature looks like." Xena said with a smile. Ares nodded.
"Very well." He said. "Do you want a guard?"
"No. I'll be fine." Xena said. She smiled at her 16 year old husband and left to get her daughters.
Xena went down the corridor to the nursery where her infant daughters were sleeping. Well, Eve was toddling around the room and her nanny was chasing after her. Chloe was sleeping in her cradle. Xena picked her up and she picked up Eve into her arms and carried the girls out of the nursery and out of the castle.
For a split second, she felt as if she never wanted to come back to the palace, but then again, she couldn't leave Ares. She loved him so. She was only 13. She felt as if her life, which had barely begun, had ended. She had not a friend in the world. She just had Ares, her daughters, her parents, and the many servants and workers around the palace. She wanted to meet someone. She wanted to meet somebody who could be her friend.
