New Additions

"You have two beautiful daughters," Cyrene informed Xena as they were given to her. Xena lay in bed exhausted from two days of pregnancy and a long birth despite being a goddess. Both of her little girls lay beside her the eldest snuggled against her eyes closed while the youngest looked at everyone alert and curious. She really hoped they didn't grow up too fast.

"Don't worry they won't grow so fast," Aphrodite assured her. Xena nodded.

"Where's Daniel and Solan?" She asked.

"Outside waiting," Cyrene told her stroking her youngest granddaughter's hand. She was smaller than her sister and strong from the grip she held on her finger.

"Let them in." Daniel rushed in ahead of Solan looking worried while Solan merely looked curious assured now his mother could not die in childbirth because of her godhood.

"Mommy are you all right?" He asked her. Xena smiled at him.

"I'm fine, come meet your other sister." Daniel turned and looked at them, Solan was already holding the eldest who was clearly comfortable in his arms as she snuggled against him.

"What are their names?" Solan asked.

"I haven't picked names for them yet." Xena frowned. "Actually hadn't even thought about it. Any suggestions?" Xena nearly slapped herself at her mistake. Everyone threw out suggestions.

"She likes Eve mother," Solan told her. Xena sat up a little as she took her eldest from him.

"Hmmm…you do look like an Eve don't you." She rubbed her head of black hair. She had blue eyes just like her. She released a breast to help her nurse. "All right you shall be called Eve from now on. But what about my littlest treasure." The littest treasure in question was staring at Daniel from Gabrielle's arms.

"Why does she stare at me?"Daniel asked.

"Because she's curious," Xena told him. "She's trying to figure out if you're going to be nice." Daniel smiled at her.

"I'll be a nice big brother don't worry," He told her. She stared at him a moment longer before deciding she wanted him to hold her. He took her in his arms and a cool wind flowed across his face.

"She has the power of wind," Athena commented thoughtfully.

"That must mean you were the one turning everything into water than," Xena commented Eve, who merely looked up at her in answer."But still this doesn't answer the question of what to name her." Everyone threw out more suggestions.

"How about we name you…Zoe Anemone?" Xena asked her when she was nursing. The wind swirled bringing a sort of peace to the room.

"I guess that's a yes."

"Eve needs a second name,"Gabrielle commented.

"How about Mesi, it means water in Egyptian." Everyone smiled at Daniel and nodded.

"Eve Mesi and Zoe Anemone,"Cyrene repeated. "They're beautiful names."

"Mother do I have a second name?" Daniel asked.

"Yes, Daniel Pyrros, I know not so imaginative." Everyone laughed.

"Come Xena, Eve, and Zoe need their rest," Cyrene said as if realizing for the first time that it was two hours after birth and neither of her girls had slept.

"Uh oh Ares is demanding you bring him his daughter," Athena told them. Everyone suddenly tensed up at the thought of giving either of the two girls over to Ares to corrupt.

"Tell him he can't have them, tell him his contract does not say that I must hand over his daughter, but have it."

"And if he insists on being persistent?" Artemis asked.

"Than you tell him that it is my right to keep all my children, and I will bring this before Zeus if he won't back off." All three goddesses disappeared to speak with Ares.

"You think he will listen?" Daniel asked.

"Nope not even, Gabrielle tell the amazons to take cover and gather the children, and send a rider to the village they have to leave too." Gabrielle nodded.

"I'll ride to the village they know me best," Eponin told Xena. She ran off immediately as Solari and Gabrielle saw to the amazons.

"Here I've got ready made slings for the girls," Cyrene told her.

"Mommy you should move," Daniel told her.

"Yes, but we have too, I've gotten all the rest I can get at the moment."

"I'll carry Eve," Solan told them. Xena dressed Eve in the ready made clothes. She secured her hat and shoes before tucking her securely in the sling Solan now wore. She made sure she was wrapped properly in her blanket.

"It's a bit windy keep her face out of the wind." Solan nodded.

"I'll take Zoe." Xena nodded to Daniel as Cyrene helped him with the sling. Xena bundled up Zoe all the same.

"You got her?" Xena asked Daniel. He nodded. She looked him over making sure he was dressed warmly. "Put your cloak on." Daniel who had thrown his cloak on a chair earlier grabbed it. Solan hadn't taken his off.

"Stay together all right, all four of you. If nothing else don't get separated from one another." They nodded.

"Where are we headed?" Solan asked.

"just to the caves," Cyrene told them.

"However Ares wrath is nothing something you play around with. Look boys Ares can still kill me, I'm not any less immune because I am a goddess." They both looked frightened at the thought. "If I die my claim is gone over you especially you three, so I want you to head for Egypt where you're safe. If I am alive I will find you there."

"How will we survive?"Daniel asked.

"Solan has learned his lessons very well as a blacksmith and you can call upon your Aunt Cleo. I'd prefer if you didn't become hired swords." They nodded. "Take care of each other and stick together. If I die, I want you to be honest with the girls about what happen, don't let them ever come to Greece blind."

"We won't mommy," Solan promised. She hugged them.

"Go head for the caves, mother and I will follow." Solan and Daniel nodded setting off with some amazon children already on the way. Xena turned and her mother was preparing to help her dress when an all too familiar pain ran through her body.

"Aah!" Xena move a hand to her stomach.

"Xena!" Cyrene exclaimed hurrying to her.
