The Muses: Titans Return

Chapter 18

Walking into the house I was greeted to Melinoe with Bo in the living room. When they see me they both give me a look and I took off running to the third floor and into my room. When I get there I see the unbelievable, Deimos sitting up in our bed. My heart dropped for a brief moment. Deimos looks over at me and he gives a sleepy smile. I run to him and I give him a tight hug as he groans in pain.

"Oh! Hey Anya, dear. What's with the hug dear?" Deimos asks as I pull back and cup his cheeks looking at him.

"You scared me Deimos. You made me promise not to die and yet you make me watch you almost die tonight." I say looking him over again. Deimos gives me a small smile.

"I just wanted to make sure you loved me." Deimos says with a chuckle, "Now I have my answer."

"Deimos! I have been married to you for 4 years and we have a child together! When did you question whether or not I loved you!?" I look at him confused. "If I didn't love you I wouldn't have agreed to the match and we wouldn't have a child."

Deimos chuckles and kisses my forehead, "How did everyone else do? I don't remember much. Did we win?"

"Yes we won. The Titans are going back to Tartarus in pieces. Cerberus was injured as well as you and Hades. Everyone else had minor injuries." Deimos cups my cheek and suddenly I gag and dry heave. Deimos looks at me concerned.

I suddenly run to the bathroom and heave up everything I have ate in the last twelve hours. I groan as I sit on the floor of the bathroom. I hold my stomach as it doesn't flips and I chalk it up to the anxiety of not knowing how Deimos was doing, if my father was safe and if Cerberus was going to be alright. I slowly stand up and rinse my mouth out with mouthwash. When I walk back into the room Deimos looks at me confused. I just shake my head and offer him a small smile.

I head down to the kitchen to make some chicken noodle soup for Deimos and I. When I get downstairs and starting cooking just the smell of chicken makes my stomach do flips again. I rush to the down stairs bathroom as Macaria walks in the front door. She follows me as I throw up a second time. She knocks on the door trying to get my attention.

"Anastasia? Are you alright?" Macaria asks knocking on the door.

"Yes, Aria. I am fine. I think my body was just anxious from the fight." I say after rinsing my mouth again. When I walk out she gives me a funny look and nods accepting what I said. I finish making food and I carefully walk it to Deimos. When he got his food he gave me a concerned look.

"Anya, are you alright. You look gray. Like your gonna-" I cut him off running back into the bathroom and throwing up a third time. I sit back in the bathroom for a moment when I hear grunting outside the door and then a small knock. I open it and Deimos is standing there.

"Hey! No! Go back to bed!" I gasp surprised and I help him slowly go back to bed. We stop a couple times for him to catch his breath and he groaned painfully when he finally sat back on the bed.

"Anastasia I am worried. You never get sick and you have puked twice now." Deimos says taking my hands.

"Three." I say sitting next to him.

"What?" Deimos asks confused. I look down at our hands and he moves one hand placing it under my chin making him look at him.

"I have puked three times." I said looking into his eyes as they soften.

"You have puked three times. The last time you got sick this much you were pregnant with Cassie." Deimos says with a chuckle. My eyes suddenly go wide and I jump up grabbing my phone from my side of the bed. I click into my calendar and I realize, I am late. Not just late, three weeks late. "Anastasia. What's wrong?" Deimos asks getting my attention.

"Deimos. I'm late." I look down at my calendar on my phone and back at him still sitting in bed.

"Like for a meeting? What do you mean late?" Deimos says leaning back against the headboard.

"I will be right back." I walk out the door and head directly to the infirmary. I find the doctor, Dr. Rodgers, who was in his mid-thirties, tall with blonde hair and green eyes.

"Ah. Anastasia! What can I do for you?"
