Khai's POVTheo demAnds I help the child into this world, the child that’s exiting out mate as we speak.Stretching parts of her that shouldn’t be stretched so wide.I watch as the water murks with blood, the colour changing as she obviously pushes the child through your body and down and out of her vagina.And I baulk at how large her opening becomes, a brown-haired head moving its way to me.The water only blurs the vision before me some, not enough if you ask me, but then again, this is my job, apparently.Where is Celeste? Surely she would be better suited to this than I…Lilith moans, whines and screams, her voice portraying her pain while Theo and I remain quiet. Though Theo’s supporting her more than me, and I’ll admit that.Between contractions, he will mutter positive things, nice things.Urging her forward, telling her how well she is doing.The only problem is she’s obviously not happy.She’s in pain, and I don’t believe she believes she can do this.I wouldn’t either, if
Lilith’s POVI’m absolutely exhausted, my body feeling like a ten-ton truck has run it over.My legs ache, my back aches, even my shoulders, and they did nothing as I pushed out my child, my little girl who looks the perfect mix of both her fathers.That’s the thing I wondered about most.This child has three DNAs running through her little body. How does the genetic makeup work in that case?It’s obvious to see how that she took after her fathers rather than me, though maybe she will change as she grows.She has a head full of brown hair, chubby cheeks and a slim and slender body.She hadn’t opened her eyes before Dr Knight had taken her, but I’m sure she will have one of their eyes too.Will they be blue like Theo’s? As blue as the see where I can get lost as I stare into them.Or will they be deep brown like the earth like Khai’s?I hope to find out soon, but for now, Theo has emptied the bath, encourages me to climb out and has us both in the shower cubicle.The running water is r
Theo's POVHave you ever looked down into a perfect set of blue eyes and melted from the inside out whilst falling in love with the very being you've stared at?I have, twice over but this time it's different. It's separate kind of love looking down into the eyes of my child.I wipe the white looking cheese off her skin gently, out of her face, eyes. Even her ears and then I place the nappy on her and pick a white all in one to dress her in.Celeste has been busy for days getting Lilith's old clothes ready for Lora and it seems right to dress out child I'm her mothers clothes. Even if Lilith's parents never kept her past a few months.In cradle Lora to my body, her warmth radiating off of her as I bring her up to my nose to smell.She's sweet like vanilla and spicy like cinnamon and I notice that she's the scent I found on Lilith a few days ago. It's exactly the same.I look down into her face. Her eyes holding my own as she wriggles with her mouth open.Her hair is the same colour as
Khai's POVCeleste and Dr Knight leave not long after I arrive and I’m glad. I kind of want it to be just the three of us again. Or four, including our little girl. Lilith has been laying with the baby for a while, struggling to eat one handed before I decide it’s time for me to step in. I briefly held Lora earlier on but I feel the need to take her, to cuddle her so that precisely what I do as I sit beside her on the bed.I watch Lilith pick at the food Theseus made her, licking between the different fruits. The sandwich and the glass of juice as if she has never eaten before.That’s when Theo comes over, demanding Lora.“My turn,” he says, holding his hand out for me to pass her.I feel like our cuddle was brief, very short and I’m not ready to give her up but I do.He picks her up with one hand under her head and another under her bum taking her from me."Make sure you hold her head," the Lilith says, with a mouth full of food.I watch with jealous eyes as Theo settles the other s
Theseus's POVIt's not been but a few hours since the child was born and I can already feel the shift in the air.I suppose it's this child's birth that is the deciding factor of whether and when I take over Zeus's roll as God.I don't want it, the responsibility of controlling the world as we all see it but after his little stunt of letting free the bear hounds I see no choice but to oppose him.I was never there to protect Lilith, by way of my own choice, admittedly but even that was forced by Celeste.I know I went along and I had hoped that Lilith might have been the key to transforming Hati. That Celeste wouldn't have to come to the conclusion that Zeus was right and that she would have to make this Hati's last life cycle.I'm not sure what has her so hung up. Obviously there's a lace of love in the mix, whether romantic or otherwise is undetermined and I don’t think she will ever admit to having feelings for Hati or her friend Bart. Both of which I know she holds dear to hersel
Lilith's POVOur night is full of disturbed sleep, Lora waking every few hours with a soft cry to let us, mainly me, know she's ready for more food.I hadn't thought much outside of the pregnancy but now I'm faced with a sleepless first night and breastfeeding my child.She's beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous and she's mine.When I was a child, or even up until recently I never fathomed that I might become a mum.It wasn't in my mindset. Finding Theo wasn't either.I was sure that I would live a long and painful life alongside the mate, Khai, that was to scared to claim me.Yet here I am with two mates and a baby and... my parents.Celeste has shown a keen interest in Lora and inadvertently me because of that.And when I look down at my baby I realise that Celeste has known her a lot longer than I have.How many times has she reached into that pool to cradling her combined souls?Did she speak to her? Bond with her int he time since she arrived up here until yesterday when her souls
Zeus's POVLife often passes by with the same old routine.I am God, and in turn for being that I get what I want when I want, and I'm not ashamed of that.There's something about being the person everyone worships. The one they turn to when things are going haywire.The surge of happiness I experience when it's me who has the referendum choice of what happens in their small and insignificant life is abominable.Yet it's been this way for millennia, and I do not wish for that to change.But I cannot deny the change that I feel is coming.I've felt weak, my abilities shorting out whenever they feel like it, and I have that dreaded human gut feeling sitting deep within my stomach.Theseus is vying for my title, he wants what I have, and I'm sure he won't stop until he gets it.A god that is reaching far above his pay grade, so to speak. Theseus used to be one of my favourite underlings that I owned.He was efficient, loyal and to the book, but since he and Celeste decided to sire a chi
Theo’s POVI note the warriors outside as I stare out of the bedroom window. After getting dressed for the day. Six men that put any of mine to shame, put any of our kinds to shame. They must all stand above seven foot. They’ve hardly anything on and their bodies are pack with muscle showing their strength and ability. They’ve not moved an inch, standing with weird spears that look as if they could cut someone within an instant for the last twenty minutes.They were not here last night, nor any other night we’ve stayed here.This is new and there must be a reason behind their appearance.Sending men to guard a place or people is not a strategy someone would come up with if they didn't feel threatened.So taking from that it that leads me to the thoughts that Zeus feels threatened and his retaliation was to put something in place to take that unwanted threat away, but I cannot decide what he particularly feels insecure about.Is it Lora?Does her appearance here in this realm perplex
