"Clarissa!" I exclaimed, running after my daughter, "Stop running around. Mommy needs to get ready." She continued giggling and running around the house, falling occasionally. At that point, with everything that was going on at the moment, i felt like I was ready to explode. "Chris! Come get Clarissa."
Chris surged on the door, "We are going to be late for the party."
I looked at him, trying to communicate with him, "I need a moment okay?"
He nodded and picked her up, taking her out of the room.
I opened one of the drawers inside the bathroom and grabbed a pad, since today was the day i was supposed to get my period.
I sat down on the toilet and pulled my pants down, I looked down at my beige underwear, no blood.
"What the…" I checked the calendar, to be sure if today was the correct day.
I shook my head in confusion as I stared at my clean panties.
"Clarisse" Chris knocked on the bathroom door.
"I'm going!" I tried shaking the stress off my head.
Getting sick… Missing my period…I hoped this wasn't what i thought It was.
I brushed my hair and tried fixing my black dress.
I opened the door, trying to hide my paleness.
"Whats wrong?" Chris asked me, taking me by the hand towards the door, holding Clarissa with one arm.
"We'll talk later." I kissed his cheek.
I looked at Clarissa, "Snow outside!" She yelled excitedly.
"Yes, its snowing outside, so let me put a jacket on you." Chris dressed her with some extra garments to protect her from the cold.
I gazed at her, those beautiful huge eyes of hers hypnotized me. I thought about everything we went through, all the process that took so long. All the long nights spent awake, just puking. The insane cravings for the most bizarre foods. The huge belly that wouldn't allow me to bend or to even look down and see my feet. And the hardest part of all, no training. The pain of the natural birth, the blood, the pushing, the breastfeeding, the tears…I couldn't do all of that again so soon.
"I wove you, mommy" She held my leg.
"I love you too, Clarissa." I kissed her cheek and fondled her hair.
Chris, Clarissa and Bella convinced me to go to that Christmas party.
When we got there, everyone was dressed up and everything, i searched for Bella with my eyes.
"Hey Clarisse, you came!" Bella grabbed
"I have no time for this" I pulled her far from the crowd, as i kept an eye on Clarissa playing with Chris and Annabeth.
"What is it?" I smelled alcohol in her breath.
"Are you drunk?" I asked her.
"No… Not yet." She laughed.
I shook her, "Listen, this is serious."
"What is it? Chill a little bit." Bella tried.
"I can't. I think I might be pregnant again.
"Shut up!" She put her hands over her mouth.
"Yeah…" I looked down at my feet.
"What? How…When? Clarisse!"
"I don't know what happened, I've been taking my birth control pills, but I missed my period this month and I've been getting sick… Ah Bella, no! Come on, not again!" I tried to hold myself from weeping.
"Calm down, everything will be okay." She hugged me. I glanced over at Clarissa, Chris wasn't there anymore.
"You're pregnant again?" Chris appeared behind me.
"You were eavesdropping?" I turned around to face him.
"You're pregnant again?" He had a serious expression on his face.
"I don't know…" I looked down at my feet.
"She missed her period." Bella told him.
"And you've been getting sick."
I buried my face on my hands, "Not again…" I tried to stop myself from crying.
"Maybe you aren't pregnant, Clarisse, maybe you're just sick and the period thing is a coincidence." Chris told me, trying to keep an eye on Clarissa playing with Connor and Travis and Annabeth. Connor and Travis had really been bonding with her, lately. That actually worried me, haha.
"I know what to do" Bella dragged me by the hand, "Come with me, Clarisse."
She dragged me to her cabin and looked for something in her sister's things.
"Found it" She pulled out a box, hidden below a bunch of clothes.
"What the hell?"
"A pregnancy test, Tracy's been having sex and she's paranoid, she keeps getting these pregnancy tests though every test turns out being negative." She handed me a pen like object with a test strip that extended out to one end.
I went to the bathroom and peed, i dipped the test strip in my urine stream, which seemed really weird to me. I waited a few seconds.
"I can't do it." i handed Bella the pregnancy test. "What does it say?"
She stared at the test, my heart pounded, i swore I was going to have that baby through my mouth right then and there.
"Two lines, yep, definitely two lines." She itched the back of her head. "You're pregnant, Clarisse."
I burst into tears, "What am I going to do now? Now that I started training again, its been great, I can't take it, to stop for nine more months. And Chris, he doesn't want a fat, round wife all over again. And Clarissa, what am I going to do? I am only one person, i can only do so much."
"I'm here for you." She hugged me, "Chris is here for you. And Clarissa loves you, and I know she'll love her little brother or sister."
I let myself collapse on the ground. "My father! My body! My warriors! What am I going to do? I have a big fight next week against an Hephaestus kid!"
"Clarisse" She sat down with me, "Put yourself together. You've been through this before. You know how it is. You were just like this, with Clarissa. And look at you now, you love her."
"I think one is enough, Bella, I can't raise two kids, just like this." I said.
"Well there are always other options, Clarisse, if you don't really want this baby."
"Other options?" I asked.
"Well, you know. You could always abort."
"What?!" I wrapped my arms around my belly.
"See, look at you." She laughed, "I knew you'd react like this. You just found out you're pregnant but you're already terrified at the thought of losing your baby."
"You're good." I told her, trying to wipe my tears off my face.
"Are you feeling better?" She asked me.
"I don't know… I want to go home. I hope Chris isn't mad at me."
"Mad at you?" She sounded surprised, "Why would he be mad at you? Chris loves all of this. Chris loves being a dad. Remember when you were pregnant of Clarissa? He was always so positive!"
I rubbed my eyes, letting tears fall again.
"Shh, its okay. Lets go tell him."
"I didn't mean to ruin your Christmas."
"You didn't." She hugged me, "I'm here for you, always." She kissed my head and offered to help me up, "Lets get out of here. Clean your face."
I bathed my face with the cold water that the sink provided.
"So…?" Chris asked me anxiously.
"Where's Clarissa?" I asked alarmed, looking for her.
"Travis and Connor are giving her her Christmas presents. What the hell, Clarisse, tell me!" He told me.
"I'm pregnant…" I cried. "I'm sorry."
"Ey, ey, ey. Don't be sorry, its not your fault." He hugged me tight, "I share the guilt with you. Besides, this is a good thing! We're having another baby!"
"Don't say it so loudly." I told him.
"Say it loudly, i want to scream it to the world." He laughed and kissed me, "HEY, LISTEN UP! WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY, GUYS! YEAH! CLARISSE AND I ARE EXPECTING ANOTHER BABY!"
I wanted to hide in a hole. The reactions form people at camp varied a lot. Some people seemed thrilled, some were making low, rude commentaries. Some looked confused, and some were so drunk they didn't even hear what Chris said. At least, I wouldn't have to worry about telling everyone. Many people came congratulate me, my cabin was mad, they wanted to know what was happening to me, having kids and a husband and forgetting all about fighting and training. Chiron came talk to me and gave me the whole speech again, the whole training speech.
"Are you okay, baby?" Chris asked a while after the congratulations and questions and commentaries ended.
"I just want to go home." I told him, "I'm cold."
"Okay, let me just go get Clarissa." Chris caressed my hair.
I glanced over at Clarissa, in her little red dress and heavy coat, with her little black boots, she looked so cute. Laughing and playing and having fun with Travis and Connor, unwrapping her presents and smiling around the bonfire.
"No" I told him. "Stay with her, she's having fun. You'll meet me at home later, so we can talk better."
"You sure?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, i need to vomit anyways." I told him, trying to calm down, "Merry Christmas." I whispered and turned around going home.
I went home and just…
I took all my clothes off and took a hot shower, staring at the mirror and wondering how i didn't notice that i had been getting rounder and that my breasts were swelling again. I put on a big, cozy pajama and made myself a good cup of hot chocolate and prepared some milk for Clarissa for when she got back. I made an effort not to sleep, because I sure was getting sleepy, but i wanted to wait for Clarissa and Chris to come back.
Later that night, they were back. Too late for my taste, my baby was almost sleep walking.
"Go shower, I'll get her ready for bed." I told Chris.
"Was the party fun?" I asked her, while i changed her diaper and put on her pjs.
"Yee" She smiled at me.
"You are tired aren't you, baby?" I kissed her forehead.
She nodded.
"Come here." I picked her up and sat down holding her in my arms.
I fed her some milk and I didn't have the courage to put her in the crib. She slept in my arms, listening to my heartbeat.
I put her in her crib, with a lot of effort.
"Did she enjoy?" I asked Chris lying in bed, as i watched him change.
"Like crazy. You should've seen her, so cute." He told me.
"What if I don't love this baby as much as I love Clarissa?"
"You will" Chris lied beside me. "And I will too."
"I don't know how I feel about this pregnancy. I'm REALLY pissed because I won't be able to wrestle… again. But, it is what it is. I don't know, Chris. I don't know. I'm worried about raising two kids at the same time, Clarissa is still so small, she's only one year old. And I don't know how this happened, I've been taking the birth control pills and everything and I don't know why this happened. We really need to stop making babies." I told him.
"Wait a second." He stood up and walked to the bathroom, "Where do you keep your birth control?"
"White bag in the second drawer, white round pills." I told him, "Why?"
"Just a second" He told me from the bathroom, "Here" He appeared, "Clarisse, its out of validation."
"You have to be kidding me." Out of validation? I felt the anger come up. I got out of bed and punched the wall repeatedly. Chris watched stunned as I nearly broke my hand.
"Hey, shhh, this isn't going to help." Chris told me.
"I want to punch something, or kill something. I want to fight. I'm needing to express my Aresness."
Chris laughed and threw me in bed, "Your Aresness will have to wait a couple months to be expressed."
"I'm going to get fat and ugly again."
"That's impossible." He kissed my forehead.
"I'm going to have to ask Aphrodite for that gift again after this baby is out. Oh no, oh no. The birth again, no." I nearly started crying.
"We can talk to Alysa and ask if she can arrange a C-section."
"Just take my mind off this" I begged, crying, "Please."
"Don't cry, why are you crying? She won't hurt you, she's yours." Chris told me.
"She?" I asked.
"This time I'm sure, its another girl."
"I think its a boy." I told him, though i preferred another girl.
"What were we saying?" He crawled on top of me, "Getting your mind off all of this?"
I nodded. I tried forgetting all about this situation and concentrating on Chris, but it was hard. I hated to admit it, but I actually felt a little tingle of happiness inside me. That glory of being a mom, again.
"Whats going through that beautiful head of yours?" Chris buried his head on my neck and started kissing it.
"Nothing…nothing" I sighed in comfort as he licked behind my ear.
"I'm going to try and relax you, okay?" He said in a soft voice.
"Relax me?" I was surprised, wondering what he was going to do.
"Undress for me, please" He told me and went into the bathroom.
I was thinking he was pretty straight forward but i turned on the heater and undressed until i was wearing nothing but my wedding ring.
Chris came out of the bathroom in his boxers holding some body lotion, "Lie on your back."
I did as he told me to do. He started gently rubbing my feet, letting his hands slide through my leg, and focusing on my thighs, in circular moves, hitting my pressure points and relieving my pain. He massaged my back thoroughly, breaking the knots in my neck and shoulders. Then, slowly his hands started massaging my butt, smearing the lotion on. He spread my butt cheeks and ran his finger over my asshole, massaging it and then what he could see of my pussy. He told me to flip after a while. He started massaging my whole body, focusing on my sexual spots.
"Yeah, just like that." I moaned as he massaged my clitoris with his oily hands.
"Feeling more relaxed?" He asked me.
"Hmhmm" I moaned.
He spent a little more time focusing on massaging me with that great scented lotion, causing all my stress areas to break. Then, he started focusing more in the sexual areas. He massaged my breasts and my nipples, then slid to my pussy and massaged me until my fluids were leaving my body as did the orgasm.
"Now i'm thinking, something a little bigger than your finger." I bit my lip.
He slid his boxers to his ankled and inserted his penis inside me. I was very oily, so his penis slid in very easily, it felt so good. My vagina was wrapped tight around his big and hard cock, I produced low moans, that he caught in his mouth. He moved his tongue rhythmically, perfectly synchronized with mine. He continued going, we didn't stop to change positions or anything. It was all just so relaxing. He didn't fuck me hard or extremely fast or deep, he focused on the slower movements, wanting me to feel pleasure at every thrust of his, inside me. We kept it for several minutes, slowly appreciating each other's sweaty bodies. It took no time, and we were both cumming.
"You are so beautiful." Chris lied beside me, stroking my face. I felt something in my stomach, burning and then coming up my throat and a horrible taste invaded my mouth.
"Yeah, the beautiful here has to puke now." I got up in a hurry and ran to the bathroom.
"BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! UUGGGGGGHHHHHHH! UUURRGHHHH! BLAAAHHH!" I puked mostly everything i had had that night.
I heard Clarissa crying, "CHRISSS! BLAAAAHHH!"
"I'm already here." He screamed from her room. "But she wants you."
"I WANT MOMMMYYY! GETTT OUTT!" I heard her from her room.
Oh my gosh. "URGHHH!" With all the puke coming out of my mouth and Clarissa's cries attacking my ears, i started feeling the pressure that being a mom of two would be.
