Hey people! Nice reviews and thanks to the reviewer who told me Isis was the Egyptian God, I thought for sure she was a Greek one also. Um, my tests are almost over and there are about 12½ days left of school so when summer comes, I will get the sequel up! I am definitely doing a Achilles/Briseis and a Gabrielle/Patroclus one after that. I am thinking about Achilles and Briseis having a fourth child, a boy, but I am still thinking about it. Patroclus is kind of like a son to Achilles so would that work? But they are definitely having 3 daughters.
Lisa Midnight Oceans: Their first child will be a girl named Sapphire.
Oh yeah, a correction in the chapter where I said what the girls will look like. For Sapphire, she will have brown hair and blue eyes. I screwed up right there!
Please review people and if you get to at least 280 I will give you your overdue lemon chapter. Oh, and thanks for the compliments on the last lemon chapter.
This takes place a week after the last chapter.
Here is…
Chapter Eighteen
The temperature had rose drastically in the last week Achilles and Briseis had been home in Greece. She hid her necklace when she took care of the gardens and didn't show it to anyone, not even Gabrielle. But, she had noticed that Gabrielle and Patroclus had been with each other a lot, he did like her a lot. Helena was still all over her with orders and insults when she came back from Achilles' bedroom, covered in red marks all over her neck and mouth. She didn't give a reason why, frankly it wasn't any concern of hers. Outside, the flowers were blooming and the garden looked as magnificent as ever. Troy was nothing like that, it had streets and marketplaces with large crowds, it wasn't secluded like this.
It was becoming dark and Achilles watched Briseis as she ate with Gabrielle, he stood on the staircase above their dining hall. He did feel jealous, his wife sat downstairs with her friends eating happily, he should be content that she is joyful. But he wasn't, something in the pit of his stomach told him something was not right. Her brown eyes looked to the staircase and he moved away with his excellent reflexes. She looked back down, she seemed sadder than before. Achilles sat on the floor, continuing to watch her eat. He had eaten a piece of chicken while the slaves had broth and water from the wells. He watched her as she rubbed her stomach in a circular motion, her face plastered with agony. He could see her eyes water up and no one noticed.
"Gabrielle, I'm going to bed, I don't feel well." Briseis said as she stood, her balance wobbly and she hung to the chair. Gabrielle nodded, but not noticing her distress. No one seemed to notice as she carried herself out of the room and up the stairs, she didn't know Achilles sat on the top of them. When she was out of sight, he got up and went to the stairs where Briseis crawled up. "Briseis?" Achilles asked as he took her in his arms and he put his hand on her stomach. It made a weird sound, something he hadn't heard before. "What was in your broth?" He asked as he carried her upstairs, she was moaning quietly. "I don't know, there was something purple but Helena told me there was a new cook. Ow!" Briseis yelped as she clutched her stomach.
Achilles closed his eyes in pain as he listened to his wife. He brought her to their bedroom where he laid her on the bed. He took a washcloth and dipped it in his sink with warm water and brought it back to her where he put it on her forehead. She was sweating profusely and Achilles felt her cheeks. She was burning up, her skin was like fire. He didn't know what to do, the only thing he could think of to put out a fire was to throw cold over it. Achilles opened up her dress, her skin drenched with its own sweat and lifted her up. She was coughing now, she choked up some blood. Achilles was very scared now, she was burning up, she was sweating, her stomach ached and she was choking up blood. He laid her on the cool floor and started to fill up the tub from the well. It was ice cold, something that would burn out a fire. Briseis clung to him as he lifted her slightly into the tub, she gasped as her scorching body hit the arctic water. "Achilles, please, let me out. It's---s---o c-o-l--d." Briseis said as she shivered, her body radiating off the heat, her fever going down.
"Just go under for 5 seconds baby, than you'll get out." Achilles said as he touched her face, it was still warm but not as bad as before. Her eyes glazed over with tears again and he hated to see her like this. Briseis took a deep breath and went under, it felt like ice cubes hit her face. She stayed under for a few seconds, like Achilles told her too and when she came up, she was lifted from the icy water and onto the floor. Achilles took a dry towel and dried her off as she shivered on the floor. Achilles was on top of her, continuing to dry her when her shivering began to get under control. His robe was on the floor and he scooped it up and wrapped it around Briseis.
Achilles scooped up his wife and brought her outside where it was a bit warmer. He held her close as Achilles laid her down on the soft bed, her body conformed to the skins.
"Achilles, I'm so cold." Briseis said as she clung to the warm blankets. Achilles looked back to her, his beautiful wife was now pale and shivering. He nodded and retrieved some more blankets from the closet and spread them over her. He slipped off all of his clothes and slipped under the covers with her. She stared at him, her bottom lip was throbbing and he kissed it.
"Are you feeling better?" Achilles asked as her shivering continued but not as bad as before. She nodded and came closer to her husband. He wrapped his strong arms around her small form and sighed into her hair. "Just sleep now," he said as he kissed her forehead and massaged her back through the robe. Briseis hadn't moved most of the night but he felt her breathing on his chest. He didn't sleep the entire night…
-------
When the morning sun dawned, Achilles watched it through the window that was never shut. He felt Briseis' forehead, it was cool again and she hadn't been moaning that night. She continued to sleep thorugh the morning, Achilles always by her side. He knew what had happened to his wife, his love. Someone tried to poison her…

Oh, the suspense! This was a mega short chapter and I apologize for that! I'm just going to tell you now, Helena was not the one to try to poison her. I know everyone was going to try to jump to that conclusion! I know you reviewers!
Here are my reviewer thank yous for Chapter Seventeen (the wedding chapter!)

Everyone, I have decided that Achilles and Briseis' first child will be born in this story. The others will come in the sequel and Patroclus and Gabrielle will get married and have a child as well in their story. It's not a sequel but kind of a prequel. PLEASE REVIEW!
Until we meet again,
