Secrets of the Past

Xena sat on her bed in her chamber rocking the baby. Everything was wrong. Things weren't suppose to happen this way. There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Xena said.
Ares entered. "Are you okay?"
Xena said nothing for a minute. Then she said,
"No, Ares, I'm not okay. My mother is dead. Gabrielle's father is dead. Half of Potedia is dead. Draco is on the loose, probably off to burn more villages and destroy more lives, and you Mr. God of War who wants to make peace did nothing!"
Ares looked hurt.
"You left me alone with the baby, didn't even tell me you were leaving. I was a bit preoccupied."
"You are the God of War! You could have done something, anything." Xena shouted. The baby started to cry.
"Xena, I'm sorry. I couldn't track after you while I was caring for Atrius."
Xena laughed harshly.
"A baby affects your godly powers? You really are loosing it!"
Ares threw his hands in the air.
"What do you want from me Xena? Huh?"
Now the baby was starting to calm again.
"I want to go home. Back to my time."
They were silent for a long moment. Xena saw something flicker in Ares' eyes, she read it as sadness. He walked closer to her.
"Alright." He said, his voice quiet.
Xena put Atrius down in the cradle.
They stood there staring at each other for a moment. Then Ares pulled Xena to him and kissed her. The room began to spin. And Xena felt really dizzy and like she was flying. Then in a instant everything was still. Both of them were back in the bath tub at Alcmene's house.
"A deal is a deal." said Ares.
They shared one more stare then Ares disappeared.
Now Xena would have to break Hercules' heart in telling him about their daughter. Or maybe she didn't. The girl supposedly still lived with Autolycus in Corinth, they could go visit her.
What were Gabrielle and Iolaus going to say?
