The weeks went on for the Trojan survivors without much happening.

Brisies continued to work on her archery and was quickly improving. Paris was continually moving the targets back for her. They trained in secret however because the men in the camp would not approve.

Helen and Brisies' friendship grew with each day. Both of them had started to gain weight but because of the lack of food their portions could only be a bit larger then usual.

After about a month and a half Paris decided to talk to them about it.

"Eventually we're going have to announce that you two are pregnant. The people are going to notice that you're gaining weight and that you need more food. And the fact that you're still getting sick."

"My morning sickness is almost gone Paris. And Helen didn't even have it. Maybe they'll think I picked something up at the camp."

"Brisies eventually you're going to have the child. I think they'll notice."

"He's right Brisies. We have to tell them soon."

"Well it's easy for you. You're carrying Paris' baby and they'll love you for it, there's nothing wrong with you being pregnant. But I was supposed to be a virgin priestess. How will they feel knowing that I'm carrying the child of a Greek who helped destroy the city."

"They don't have to know who the father is. We can do this together. We'll be fine."

Brisies sighed, "I know we can. I just don't think it's fair to the baby having to grow up without a father. It's not fair for Astyanax either. I wish Andromache would forgive me."

"Why don't you talk to her? I'm sure she's forgiven you by now."

Brisies shook her head, "I don't think so."

"Well you need to try. Andromache and you are both going through some similar problems. You two need each other," said Paris.

"Thank you."

Suddenly Helen gasped.

"What?"

"The baby just kicked."

Brisies' eyes went huge and Paris looked like he would faint.

"The baby kicked, the baby kicked," Helen squealed with delight.

Brisies wrapped her best friend in a large hug.

"This is amazing."

"I have to tell Andromache. I'm so excited."

Brisies sighed, "Fine let's go and talk to her now."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Darrius do you remember how far along Helen is?" asked Hector.

"Around three months I think. I'm surprised that she hasn't gained more weight," he responded.

Achilles sighed, "I know absolutely nothing about a woman's pregnancy."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Andromache was playing with her baby when Helen and Brisies approached her.

"Hello Andromache."

"Hello Brisies. How are you feeling?" said Andromache stiffly.

"I'm doing better thank you."

Andromache just gave a tight fake smile and went back to the baby.

Brisies whispered in Helen's ear, "I told you she hasn't forgiven me."

"Keep trying," Helen whispered back.

"Fine," she hissed. "Andromache please talk to me. I know you're upset and you have every right to be. But please, please talk to me. Please forgive me."

Andromache didn't look at her.

There were a few moments of silence that Helen decided to break, "You two are being ridiculous. Listen Brisies has apologized. But what has she got to apologize for? She fell in love. That's not a crime. And Brisies you've got to try to make peace with her. You need her right now so you need to try and fill the gap between you both. I know you've tried but try harder then."

Another moment of silence followed.

"I'm sorry Andromache. I really am. I loved Hector he was like a brother to me. And I probably should have done more to stop Achilles from killing him. But please, please forgive me. I need you now. You and I were best friends ever since we met. Please."

Andromache looked up. Tears were slipping down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry Brisies. I now you couldn't have done anything and I acted horribly. In fact I need your forgiveness. Can you forgive me?'

Brisies wrapped Andromache in a warm hug and the two both started crying.

After a few moments they both looked at Helen, "Thank you."

Helen smiled, "I have news two."

"What?" asked Andromache.

"The baby kicked."

Andromache squealed.

"Praise the Gods. How far along are you anyway?"

"Three months."

Andromache smiled, "Congratulations. I don't think I ever said that to you."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"How sweet," said Darrius sarcastically.

"Darrius you really have a sour personality."

Achilles just rolled his eyes.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Odysseus and his men had been searching for weeks and hadn't found any survivors.

"Were could they be?"

"My lord there is a possibility that there were none."

"Then why are the bodies of many members of the royal family missing? Somehow they must have survived. And we'll find them."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Do you think Odysseus will find them?"

"I don't know. But Odysseus never gives up. That's all I can tell you."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Paris, Andromache, Brisies, and Helen were talking.

"I think we should keep moving Paris. We've been here for a month and a half. What if they start searching for survivors?"

"Were will we go?"

Andromache's eyes shone for a brief second, "I think we should go to Thebe. They can protect us. If Agamemnon's dead then no one will be leading his army. We'll be safe there."

Paris looked at Helen and Brisies, "What do you suggest?"

"I agree. We should go to Thebe. I remember when we went there once for a peace mission they'll be able to protect us. I know it."

"I think so two."

Paris sighed, "Then we'll go to Thebe."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Will they be safe in Thebe?"

"Yes I think so. I told Andromache that the river leads to Mount Ida. Ida is only a few miles from Thebe. They'll be able to make it for sure. And they'll be safe there."

"Yes but if Odysseus can't find them they won't be able to get their land back and search for more survivors."

Hector sighed, "Nothing works perfectly anymore. If they gain something they'll also lose something."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DreamSprite: Thanks for reviewing.

Celebwen Telcontar: Hmm. I didn't even think about the Odyssey. I don't think it will come into it though. Sorry if I disappointed you. I hate stories with a wimpy Brisies also. I mean come on she wasn't a wimp at all in the movie.

Evanescent Dawn: Okay don't make her too perfect I'll remember that. You got a D in math? Ouch. Hopefully you'll be back soon. PLEASE update a Twist of Love! I love that story SO much. I actually haven't studies star myth I got that idea from the song Remember. It's on the Troy soundtrack.
