A/N: Well that was a lovely chapter wasn't it? Anywyas here's another. Just to keep things going this weekend.

Briseis was asleep in her room, she had been asleep for hours, while Achilles sat by her side, looking over at the baby in the basinet nearby. He was surprised by her almost super human strength during labor, that and she pulled out a chunk of her hair. He rubbed his head from where she banged his hand on the bedrail.

Paris was waiting for the rest of his family outside in the hallway. Everyone was rushing down the hallway when they saw Paris.

"How is she?" Hector asked

"You missed quite a show brother" Paris said

"What happened to your hand?" Hector asked as he saw the bruises on it

"Briseis" Paris answered

Hector opened the door slowly, and saw them there. He walked in quietly and saw Achilles sitting next to the bed watching Briseis. He looked over and saw the baby resting.

"How is she?" Hector asked in a hushed voice

"Resting, for now" Achilles answered

Priam wheeled himself in, and Andrea walked in the baby. Priam wheeled himself near the baby and looked over.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Priam asked

"Father, the baby is wrapped in blue. Come on. It's obvious it's a boy" Andrea said

Achilles smiled as he watched Andrea scold Priam. Hector looked over at Briseis who was still sleeping. Hector noticed a bruise on Achilles' hand and a patch of hair missing from him.

"What happened to you?" Hector asked

"Briseis was very vocal during the birth, and very possessed" Achilles said as he rubbed his hand, "I didn't know she had it in her"

"See this hand?" Hector raised his hand, "It doesn't quite bend the same way ever again after Andrea" Hector couldn't bend his fingers as Achilles watched

"And she was in labor for 36 hours" Hector added

"Ouch" Achilles said

"You've got a lifetime of diaper duties ahead of you" Hector said

The door opened and a woman with red hair walked in. She was holding some balloons. Achilles looked over and saw who it was.

"Penelope?"

"Congratulations Achilles" Penelope said in a hushed voice

Achilles hugged her.

"How are you?" he asked

"I am well, Odysseus sends his regards as well as warm wishes. He wishes he could be here, but you know"

"Yes, is he well?"

"Yes, he says it was sad to see you go, being that you were so good at your craft. But he wishes you the best regardless. But I have to go. I cannot stay long. I do not want to endanger you or your child"

"It's good to see you."

"Likewise" Penelope gave him the balloons and walked off

She passed Paris on the way out. Paris took a double take as she left. Achilles said nothing and looked away. Paris walked into the room and looked over at the sleeping baby. Priam was glad that Paris had come.

"Isn't he beautiful?" Priam asked

"I think the word is handsome father, boys are handsome and strong, not beautiful" Paris corrected

"Nonsense, he is a beautiful baby"

"That he is" Andrea added

Achilles and Paris somehow abruptly walked into each other's paths in the small room. Neither one of them wanted to say anything. But both noticed the bruises on the other's hands.

"She has a good grip doesn't she?" Paris started

"Yeah, didn't expect that from her" Achilles answered

"My cousin is full of surprises"

"I'm just glad it's over"

"It's not over, she's going be way hormonal the next month"

Don't get too happy now. It's not over yet, so no happy ending...yet. But what will they name him?
