Thanks everyone for the grand reviews! Just to tell you all, the lemons are most likely over because this story is beginning to come to an end. The next chapter is the last one with the Trojan War and Achilles begins to prepare for fatherhood. Also, all of the Briseis torturing has come to an end but I am still thinking of the way for Briseis to get into Trojan Walls to kill Agamemnon, in that scene where she prays to Apollo. But, please keep the reviews coming in. I want to get to at least 600 before this story ends. It would be wonderful!
I know I keep and forgetting the disclaimer in this story so here it is…
Disclaimer: I don't own the movie Troy or any of it's characters; all I own is Sapphire.
Did everyone like the last chapter? I'm almost to 100 pages so I am quite happy!
So, anyways, here is…
Chapter Thirty Two
Briseis had led her husband to their tent later that day where she cleaned his wounded arm. She had to stitch up the arm yet again and watched as he hid winces and flinches away from her. Briseis frowned at him and continued pressing the needle through his skin, it bled little. "Thank you," She said quietly as she bit the thread and separated the needle from his skin. Achilles ran a soft hand over his stitched wound and replied, "For what?" It should have been obvious what she thanked him for, but Briseis smiled otherwise. She rubbed her tummy slightly, "For a lot of things; my life, my happiness, this child and for killing Paris." She said as she kissed his cheek and rubbed his wounded arm softly. Achilles nodded and returned the kiss, except it was on her lips.
"So, when is my little one going to grace me with their presence?" Achilles asked as he kissed Briseis' tummy, he felt his little one kick vibrantly which made him smile. She smiled as well as she massaged her large tummy and answered, "Any day now. Which is why, I wish you to no longer fight. The war is over, Paris is dead while Hector has no means to harm me, this child nor you." Briseis said as moved closer to his body, his arm draping across her shoulders. "I must, you know I dreamed of this war. I was born for this war."
"You were born to survive to see your baby's face." Briseis retorted back, her eyes in fury at her husband's thoughts of this war, it could take his life and he would never know the child they made out of love. Achilles looked to his angry wife as he talked of his life that only included war and atrocities. "I live for everything Briseis; that includes you and our child and future ones. The world will remember my name once this war is over."
"I shall remember your name when this war is over, your children shall remember." Achilles looked angrily towards his wife; she had a point and he hated to admit it, but she was indeed right. "You killed the prince of Troy out of love and vengeance for your wife, it seems terrible but a noble act on anyone who knew what truly happened." Briseis said as she kissed her husband's strong bicep (hot!) and threaded her hand within his own. "Why can't you be happy that your family shall remember you?" She asked as she stared at her own stomach and brought his hand to touch it slightly, "I know this little one shall remember you and be joyful to have a father like you." Achilles grinned slightly and kissed her temple. Odysseus walked into the tent, interrupting the sweet moment between the married couple.
"Achilles, we must speak with you. Agamemnon wants you to end this war." Odysseus said as he motioned for his mate to come with him. Achilles looked to his wife who gave him a cheeky grin, a fake one and nodded her head towards Odysseus. "Go with him, I wish to return home for our child's birth so, do anything you can to end this horrid war." Briseis said as she watched her husband stand and give her a kiss on her lips, a soft and loving one. Odysseus nodded to Briseis, out of all the warrior wives, she was the kindest of them all. "Bless your child, shall Aphrodite bless them with beauty or handsomeness, both their parents possess it." Briseis smiled and nodded back to him. Achilles smiled to her and left the tent, he walked across the wet sand to the larger tent where Agamemnon sat in his throne, he hadn't moved in days.
"You killed the Prince of Troy, wonderful for our advantage." Achilles rolled his eyes in an annoyed manner and crossed his strong arms over his broad chest. "I suggest," Agamemnon started, staring at his best warrior in an evil glee, "that you turn over your native Trojan wife back to Troy, the next couple of days may not be safe; the Trojans can strike at any given time." Achilles scoffed at the king and shook his head, "The Trojans are having their twelve days of mourning, for that rapist. They shall not strike, even Priam has respect for the gods." Achilles said as he began to leave, but was stopped by Odysseus. "The meeting is for my design, behold The Trojan Horse." Odysseus said as he unrolled a piece of parchment, a horse, its inside and outside showed great detail. "To end the war, we pack inside and give this to the enemy as a gift; when night falls, we get out and kill them all. Lead them Achilles, you want glory and this shall grant your wish."
His blue eyes met the older face of his friend and he shook his head. "I wish to lead, and I shall, but I no longer do it for glory."
"Women have a way to complicate things. Especially one as special as Briseis feels to you." Achilles nodded and shook his friend's hand, he began to walk away when Odysseus spoke again. "Think of this as a way to relieve the vengeance you feel for those who have done her wrong. All the men know all you dream of now, is her complete protection and need to avenge her." Odysseus said as he followed Achilles outside of the tent. He looked to the bond fire and saw his wife, Gabrielle, Patroclus and Eudrous all seated around it, Briseis had a shall wrapped tightly around her. "You are extremely protective of her, that much is obvious. Your baby is due for its birth any day now, rid the world of those that can harm your family. The world knows your name now, for the death of Paris and for leading us. Give them more to fear." Achilles nodded but backed away from Odysseus, "My answer shall be given tomorrow in the morn."
Odysseus nodded to his friend and returned to his own tent while Achilles joined Briseis by the fire. "Cold?" he asked playfully as he wrapped his arms tightly around her tiny shoulders and brought her close to his chest. Briseis smiled at the affections and kissed his arm. "What did Odysseus want?" She asked as she looked up to face her husband, her head resting on his chest. Achilles smiled softly but only answered, "Nothing you should worry your pretty little head about. Soldier business." Briseis gave him a slight grin and turned back to the fire. They stayed like that until later that night when both retired to their tent, and onto the bed. Achilles sat by a tray of food as Briseis readied herself for bed, taking off her clothes and changing into her dark blue nightgown and slipping out her earrings, but kept on her necklace.
"Are you hungry?" Achilles asked as he picked up some grapes and began to eat them. Briseis shook her head and took her hair out of its intricate up do, brown, curly hair cascading down her back. Achilles nodded and finished his grapes before he began to undress for bed. His breastplate came off first along with his war toga, he stood stark naked in front of his wife who became use to the lovely sight. He picked up a dark brown, cotton toga and slipped it on but put no shirt on to cover his chest, though Briseis did not complain. She was already under the covers when he slipped in and brought her close, to rest her head on his chest. "When shall this war end?" Briseis asked as she threaded her hand within his own. Achilles turned his head away from her slightly and answered, "Soon, don't worry, our baby shall be born back in Phtia."
Briseis nodded and kissed his tanned chest. Achilles ran his hands down her back softly and fingered her necklace with his other hand. "You still wear this? I should've gotten you something more appropriate for a wedding ring." Achilles said as he sat up and opened a drawer on his nightstand. He pulled out a small box and handed to Briseis who now sat up. She looked at him and smiled; she opened the box slowly and gasped when she saw it. Inside was a small ring, the gem was blue with two smaller gems on the side with the colors of red and green. "Like the flowers back home," Briseis said as she took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her ring finger. "I heard you talking with Gabrielle about the name you would name our children, like the colors of the flowers: Sapphire, Jade and Ruby." Achilles said as he kissed Briseis deeply. "I love it, just as much as I love you…"
