Hey everyone! Thanks for the reviews but they were a little short but I'm okay with that. You guys are only 30 reviews away from another lemon. I am soo happy that Briseis is pregnant and just a little note, Paris and Briseis are not direct cousins like the movie. They are like 5th cousin in my story but Paris does not like Briseis' family (Namely Achilles) which makes him hate her and want her dead like he was Achilles dead. I have all the chapters planned out and in this one, Achilles, Briseis and Odysseus to Thesally (sp?). Achilles was called to that war before he even knew Briseis and she doesn't know about it until now. This is a sweet but rather barbaric chapter.

In the beginning of the movie when it shows Achilles in his tent with the two girls, that's not how it goes. Briseis is sleeping in his tent with him but they didn't make love. Everything else is the same though. Enjoy and review if you want another lemon!

So, here is…

Chapter Twenty One

Briseis sighed sadly as she finished packing her things. Achilles was in bed already, he had finished a while ago and slept as Briseis packed some of her dresses. They were going to Thesally so Achilles could get his glory. She touched her stomach lightly and a small sob escaped her mouth. He was going to be a father now, couldn't he just let go of his pride and glory for 10 months and be with her during these times. It was the first child for both of them and she wanted him to experience this time with her, could he imagine missing the first time his baby kicked inside of her or when he or she was born? Her quiet sobs became slightly louder as she sat on the bed and covered her mouth in an effort to smother the sound.

Achilles awoke from his slumber and stared at his wife as she shook with tears. He sat up, he wore nothing but pants and touched her shoulder. Briseis jumped slightly and wiped her eyes hastily and turned to look at him. "What?" she asked as she rubbed her eyes, trying to make him think she was tired, not crying. But he knew her better than that, and not to mention, her eyes were bloodshot. Briseis looked away from him and stood to take off her dress. She tried to use her sex appeal to make him not focus on her problems. She slipped off the sleeves and the dress dropped to the ground. Briseis slid under the covers and huddled close to him. Ever since her rape, she couldn't not feel protected as she slept.

He sighed and sat back down to stare at her beautiful face. She bit her lip as he stared intensely at her, his blue eyes burning themselves in her skin. She felt his hand snake under the sheet and touch her stomach. He smiled as Briseis took her own hand and pressed his closer to her tummy. It was harder than before and he could already imagine what his baby would look like. But, as he thought about his little one, the thoughts of how this baby was made flooded back. He knew it was definitely his, that was not questionable but he had to imagine how Briseis felt when he committed this act of love when she thought about her rape. He was determined to find out who ripped her innocence away from her. He moved his hand to her face and stroked it affectionately.

"I know you don't want to talk about this but I have to know. Who assaulted you?" Achilles said as he grabbed her wrist when she hit his hand away at the question. Briseis' eyes flared up in anger and in fear when Achilles got on top of her and held her down. His hands grabbed her own and slammed them down on the bed. He was not angry that she wasn't telling him but it angered to know she was still scared of that son of a bitch. He was so pre-occupied with his own thoughts that he hadn't heard her moaning in agony as she relived the memories. "No, please. Don't!" Briseis screamed as she did anything she could to release her hands.

Achilles awoke from his thoughts and spread kisses on Briseis' face, to soothe her mind and wounds that would never heal. His grip became looser and she shoved him off her. She looked so fragile as Achilles stared at his wife. She grabbed her robe and wrapped it tightly around her. When Achilles went to take her hand, he was pushed away violently and slapped hard on the face. "You are just like him, how could you hold me down like that. You knew he did that." Briseis said as she cried more, Achilles heart broke as he watched them stain her cheeks. Before she was able to escape out the door, he grabbed her arm again and smashed her to the wall where she let out a gasp but still clung to him. "Tell me Briseis. Who was the man who makes you as scared as you are now?" Achilles yelled at her and she winced with every blowing yell.

It was her turn to yell. "Why do you wish to reopen my wounds. I'm pregnant with your child; we're married and I love you! Do you fantasize about another man being with me against my will?!" She yelled back as she separated herself firmly from him. Achilles was outraged that his woman would say something like that. "Want to know why I want to know? I want to murder that man, I want to torture him like he did you. I will avenge you, that's all I want. How can you possibly think I want another man hurting you like that?! I'm your goddamn husband!" Achilles bellowed at Briseis and she gasped, placing her hand over her mouth. He wanted revenge on the man who hurt her, he wanted that man to know the pain she endured. Achilles was a violent man when it came to other men hurting the women he cared for.

She rested her back on the wall, her tears returning as she spoke the name, "Agamemnon."

Achilles looked stunned as Briseis sunk to the floor in a heap of tears. She sobbed as she relived the memories of being held down and being entered by that boy. He didn't even deserve the title of a man, a true man never harassed a woman. Achilles paced over to Briseis and joined her on the floor. He took her shoulders and picked her up. He put her in his lap where she curled up and molded her body against his as she embraced him tightly, he embraced her back. "Shh, calm down. It's over with, focus on our child, he or she needs air." Achilles said as he comforted Briseis into steady breathing. She later fell asleep, leaving him to think of his ways of vengeance…

Briseis woke up in the early morning of clanking armor. She opened her eyes to feel her back on the bed and Achilles staring in the mirror as he adjusted his armor. He hadn't noticed Briseis' awaken state and continued adjusting until he felt her arms on his shoulder blades. He took her hand in his but not before he kissed her over his shoulder. Briseis smiled as she turned away to grab her dress, she hadn't remembered that they were leaving for Thessaly today. She hummed as she brushed her hair and tended to her daily needs, she noted that her stomach grew a little; no one would notice except herself, she knew her body better than anyone, save Achilles.

Achilles sadly watched his wife get ready, she asked him to brush the back of her hair and fix the back of her dress. He knew she was putting on an act to forget the prior nightly events. She was failing miserably; he could see the sadness behind her eyes that quietly shown through. "Baby, are you ready to go?" Achilles asked quietly as he kneaded her shoulders gently through the dress, kissing her neck gently. Briseis took his hand and brought it down to her stomach again. "The baby is getting bigger." she said in a happy tone and smiled happily at him. He smiled back slightly but brought her closer. "We have to go to Thesally today." Achilles reminded her and kissed her cheek. She nodded solemnly and grabbed the bag that rested on the floor.

Achilles' bag was filled with more armor and spears with some swords while Briseis' was filled with her dresses and a pad, she knew Achilles would want something to do other than make love. Although, it was a good pass time. The hallways were filled with the workers as most gave a sad goodbye to their master and his bride. Gabrielle and Patroclus stepped forward, he began talking with Achilles while she, talked with Briseis. "You love her don't you?" Patroclus asked as he watched his cousin stare at her, his blue eyes intent. "More than anything. We're going to have a baby, she told me last night." Achilles said to his cousin as he smiled. "Imagine, me, a father." He said as he stared more at Briseis.

Patroclus, who smiled at Gabrielle, agreed. "I love Gabrielle as well, no one can compare with her." He said in a loving tone as they talked about their loves. But, now that Achilles was preparing to meet his fate, only love could save him…
