Hey everyone! Just to tell you all, this story will be roughly 34 chapters. In this chapter, the workers find out about Achilles and Briseis. Who was that peeping tom?! Also, PT. 2 is coming up when Achilles goes into the Trojan War which is about 3 or 4 chapters away. Also, a surprise will be revealed and you all will love it! No lemon in this one but sweet stuff and later, we will find out who this peeping tom is! Also, Hector doesn't die (I don't think he deserved it!) but Paris does and Hector is the one with the bow and arrow. Are you all ready for the surprise? Well, anyway, here is…
Chapter Twenty
Briseis woke up early the next morning, even before Achilles did. She slipped on her dress from the closet and wrote him a note and left it on her pillow. She said she was going back to the gardens today and you could find her there. Before Briseis left, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She did look different, there was something that looked better than before. Her hips were still small but they seemed to become more curvy, her once frizzy hair was now under control and in soft curls. Her stomach seemed a little fuller, not chunky but more womanly as were her breasts were fuller. As she stared at herself, she felt her stomach gurgle and something come up her throat. She opened her eyes wide and ran into the bathroom.
Briseis stood over the toilet and threw up continuously into the toilet, she felt more horrible with every second. She cried softly as her chest became tight with pain and her throat ached with the debris coming up her throat. She hadn't heard Achilles wake and get out of bed. He had slipped on his pants and walked into the bathroom, there he saw Briseis sitting on the ground in front of toilet, her cheeks were streaked with dry tears. He ran to her and brought her to his tan chest. She clung to him and wiped her mouth before she allowed him to look at her. "Were you throwing up again?" Achilles asked her again as he wiped away her hair that stuck to her face that was wet from sweating. She nodded and her bloodshot eyes looked to the toilet.
Achilles nodded as he saw her projected food in the toilet and continued to hold her close. "You wrote me a note, saying you were going to the gardens to work. I think not, you'll stay in bed and I'll tell the cook to make you some chicken soup." Achilles said as he picked her up and carried her from the bathroom to the bedroom again and laid her gently on the bed. Her body molded into the bed and she clung to the sheets. Achilles picked up her nightgown from the floor and took off her dress. As much as he wanted to take her again, he ignored the growing feeling of arousal in his stomach and put her nightgown on. Briseis stared at him as his hands swept over her body, pulling up the covers or adjusting them.
"I feel like crap." Briseis said as she rubbed her forehead. Achilles frowned at the state his wife was in. Her entire body seemed to ache and she shivered almost non-stop. Her eyes seemed droopy and Achilles kissed her cheek, it was warm, not feverish though. "I love you," Briseis whispered before she shut her eyes and began to sleep. He smiled and stroked her face again before he left the room and locked it, like he usually did. The workers were not even up yet, except a few, the few were Helena and most likely Gabrielle. He heard the two of them talking, their entire conversation. "That little whore married Achilles!" Helena said as she slammed her hand on the wall in anger and frustration.
"She is not a whore! And so what if she married Achilles. That man deserves a woman and Briseis is perfect for him. I applaud him for choosing a decent woman and not you!" Gabrielle retorted to Helena and Achilles smiled. He always liked that girl. "Oh who gives a shit anyway. All the workers know and only a few are realistic and agree with me. The others have to like that bitch and agree that what he did was good. The whore is probably pregnant." Helena said hatefully as she smirked at Gabrielle and began to walk away when Achilles booming voice caught her attention. "Hey Helena, talk about my wife like that again, which I know you will, so I might as well get this over with. Pack your things, I'm selling you." Achilles said as he smirked at Helena's scared face. Her eyes were pricked with tears as she ran away.
Gabrielle looked to Achilles and immediately went on her way but stopped when she heard something. "My love, wait. Achilles…" The person stopped as he saw Achilles standing there with his arms crossed over his chest. Patroclus looked at his cousin than back to Gabrielle who closed her eyes in sadness. Achilles would never permit his cousin to sleep with a worker. "Cousin," Patroclus started as he stayed a distance away from Gabrielle. "It's alright cousin, I know what it's like to love someone no one wanted you to. I won't tell, if you, Gabrielle, don't tell about myself and Briseis." Achilles said as he stared at the beauty who seemed to love his cousin dearly. She nodded and he watched she and his cousin walk away, his hand intertwined with his.
He smiled at the lovebirds and continued to walk to the gardens where most of the workers were at the moment. He took another way to his own private gardens, where he married Briseis. The sun was bright for dawn and he basked in its warmth. The mornings were his favorite time of day, it was when he would wake and watch Briseis sleep in his bed, under the sheets as she clung to him. She was too good of a person to be with a man like himself, the warrior who showed pity to no one. But, she was a lover, not a fighter which made him protect her. He enjoyed being needed by someone, especially her. They balanced each other out, he was the protector while she was the love he needed. He felt nothing, except anger and loath while she knew every emotion, even love which made him jealous. Sure, he loved her more than anything, but she loved her family and her country, he never knew that.
The sun rose into the amber sky while Achilles thought. He had heard the workers gossiping all about him and Briseis, none were aware he could hear them. The balcony door leading to his room was open, he had opened it last night when Briseis was ill to get some air to cool her off. He ran a hand through his blonde hair as he thought of her again. She was a true goddess, in her outer beauty and inner one as well. When they had their first child, he was going to bring her to the River Styx and make her immortal like himself. Maybe, when she was pregnant so than their baby will be born to two immortal parents. He almost laughed at the idea of him being a father. He couldn't take care of himself, well, he could but he was a warrior and he didn't want his child to know violence like he did. He wanted daughters and sons, but he really wanted a son.
He would teach his son to fight with a sword and he would be as handsome as himself. Achilles' daughters would inherit their mother's beauty and love. But, they would be stubborn like himself, but not arrogant. He was conceited no matter how you looked at it. War wise, he earned it but when it came to Briseis, he had a right to be. When they arrived in Greece, he noticed the way the men stared at his woman. She had said she was his. He smiled at that thought cockily and took a rock from the ground and threw it at the wall. The workers continued to talk as he stood from the bench where he sat and took the shortcut back to his home. On his way back, Achilles talked to the cook and told him to make the chicken soup for Briseis.
The cook gave him a weird look but said nothing and began to prepare the afternoon lunch. Achilles walked up the creaky stairs and thought, I've got to get that fixed before I go insane. He smiled at his thoughts and walked down the long hallway back to his bedroom. When he unlocked the door and stepped in, he saw Briseis sitting up in bed and rocking back and fourth. She hadn't noticed his presence but he shrugged off his armor and sat on the bed next to her. She continued to rock back and fourth but looked at him. Achilles touched her face and asked, "What's wrong?" in a tone of love and affection. She looked away for a second but turned back and said in a hushed tone, "I'm pregnant…"
--------
"I bless the children," Hera said as she watched through the well as did Aphrodite who blotted her eyes with a piece of a cloud. Hades sat on another cloud with Persephone who was also enthralled. Thetis smiled but a frowned smile; "He's going to be a father and his doom is near." She said as she began to cry. Aphrodite smiled and spoke in a soft tone to Thetis, "Never fear Thetis, Briseis loves your son very much. If she listens to her heart in that crucial time, he will survive to see all of his children be born, have his glory and die as an old man with his love by his side."
---------
Briseis is pregnant! Now, this baby is Sapphire so Jade and Ruby and Neoptolemus will be in the sequel and maybe the second sequel for Neoptolemus. I bet you all are happy for the couple, so here are the thank yous…
