Noah hummed as she walked to the kitchen of Apollo's house. She decided that it was time to see if her feeling that she was pregnant was correct she hoped that it was, it was all that she wanted. To be able to give Artemis children, it would be a dream come true. Noah knocked on the door to the kitchen knowing that she should have waited at the front door but she was too nervous to do so, she just hoped that Apollo wasn't too mad. "Apollo, Gabriel?" She called out hoping that they were here and not away like they were so often. Seeing that it was empty when she pushed the door open she headed to the living room to wait for them hoping that they wouldn't be too long.

Apollo

Gabriel walked out from the bedroom when he heard the call from his sister in law. He had been asleep when Apollo had left so he wasn't exactly sure where his husband was but he knew Noah well enough even if she was a hunter. He found her in the living room and gave her a hug even if he wasn't sure if she would like it. She was still family to him and he would treat her as such. "I'm sorry, I don't actually know where Apollo is, Noah. I am sure he shouldn't be to far away though. What do we owe the pleasure to though?", he asked taking a seat.

"Hey Gabe, It's okay I don't mind waiting." She tells him, smiling at him. "I, uhh, I think that I might be pregnant and I didn't, I can't, I need to be sure before I tell Artemis about it because I can't have it happen again." She says, her lips turning down thinking of the babies that they had lost before she couldn't tell Artemis till she was sure that she wasn't going to lose it. "I..I just we lost so many and I don't, I wan't to keep silent until I know for sure that this kid is going to survive, I can't hurt Artemis again telling her about the kid and then having it die."

Gabriel smiled back at her though his smile faulted as she mentioned the children she had lost. He took a seat and motioned for her to sit beside him. He had never lost a child but he still knew lose though losing his sibling and having a son himself, he felt he could almost imagine what it would be like. "I think Artemis would be happy anyway. I haven't lost a child but I know it would be hard. Sometimes we just have to deal with the cards we are dealt by fate", he knew she had been a demigod like him and would understand this as well as he did. "Either way, I am happy for you. It will be nice for our girls to have cousins to grow up with."

"I just, I don't want to put her through that again. I know we have to deal with the cards dealt but I don't want to hurt her like that again." Noah says, taking a seat beside him hoping that this time the children would survive so that they could grow up with Gabe's children, but she was afraid, she didn't know how much longer she could go through loosing the babies she carried. "I hope they are able to grow up with your girls." She says softly her hand moving down to rest on her stomach gently worried that it wouldn't happen.

Gabe took her free hand in his, "I know I am not a seer but I think everything will be fine but I also think you should tell Artemis. If things go wrong, well, I don't think you should have to handle that alone. If you don't though, know that I-We will be here for you." He hoped that he would take her advice because he really didn't want her to be alone. He let go of her hand and stood. "I don't know how long Apollo will be but can I get you a drink or something", he asked, changing the topic away from the current one until Apollo arrived. He just hoped that anything Apollo knew would be good.

"I'll think about it, I'd love a cup of tea, earl grey if you have it, Milk and two sugars." Noah tells him twisting her hands together thinking it over as he left to make the tea. She turned the thought over in her mind before deciding that she had to tell Artemis, she couldn't go through this alone even with Gabriel and Apollo being there for her she wanted the support of her wife. She felt calmer after coming to the decision but she knew that if Apollo told her that these babies were going to be healthy she would share it with Artemis. But if Apollo wasn't sure she would keep it to herself for a little longer till Apollo could tell her for sure that it would all be okay.

Apollo appeared in the room after he had finished working on his last patient he appeared in the living room. He smiled at he caught sight of Noah, he had been wondering when she would be stopping in, the last time he had seen her he realised that she was pregnant and hoped that this time it would end better than last time. "Hey Noah." He says, moving closer and pressing a hand to her stomach using his powers to look at her unborn children. He was relieved to find that despite minor imperfections the babies were perfect he pushed his powers into her babies carefully fixing their imperfections before moving back and taking a seat beside her taking her hands into his.

"I'm so happy to tell you that the babies are fine. All three of them are healthy." Apollo tells her, hoping that she and his sister would finally know the happiness of having children like Gabe and He had. "I'd like you to come in for check ups once a month. You're about 3 months along already."

Noah teared up, taking on of her hands from his and placing it on the little swell of her stomach. "Three babies? and that are all healthy really?" She asked looking up at him unable to believe it after all their trying they would finally have the babies they had always dreamed of even if it was more than they had planned on they would love them all the same. "Thank you so much." She tells Apollo leaning forward and wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tightly she couldn't thank him enough for the news she had always hoped to receive but never did until today.

Apollo hugged her back tightly so glad that he had been able to give her happy news instead of the sad news that he had had to give her in the past. He couldn't wait for Artemis and Noah to become mothers he knew that they had both wanted it for so long. "Our babies will grow up together." Apollo said with a happy smile, pulling back after a moment happy that Noah finally had the good news that she had been hoping for. "Does Arty know yet?" He asked, he had a feeling that Noah wouldn't' have told her till she was sure Artemis often told him that she wished that Noah would tell her things sooner but she knew that Noah wanted to protect her.

Gabe left the room with a hope that Noah might take his advice though he knew it was unlikely. He did hope that her kids would be able to grow up with his though. It would be fun to be able to watch them grow together and he knew that Dakota, Gale and Daniella would be just as caring and protective of Artemis' and Noah's kids as the would be if his little girl's. He knew when Apollo arrived and just stood in the kitchen listening to them. A grin crossed over his face as he heard Apollo say that they where healthy though the three came as a surprise to him. He picked up the tray he had now placed the drinks on and made his way back into the lounge room, carefully placing the tray down on the coffee table. He knew their was always quicker ways to do things but sometimes he just wanted to act normal. "I'm so happy for you Noah", he said shifting to give her a hug before sitting and picking up his black earl grey tea. He had found the sipping on it could at times decrease his nausea at least.

Noah hugged him back taking a sip of her tea feeling like this was a dream because she couldn't possibly be this lucky to have not only one healthy baby but three it was beyond her wildest dreams she really couldn't wrap her mind around it her hand drifted down to rest on her stomach feeling impossibly happy she really couldn't believe it. "Thank you so much you two." She tells them both taking another sip of her tea. "I can't want to tell Artemis she will be so happy to be having a baby. Not one but three I can't wait to tell her."

Gabriel tapped the chair beside him,moping that Apollo would take the hint and sit next to him. His hands then both wrapped around his own cup and he took a few sips. "I am so happy for you both. You will make great parents." Gabriel had been scared when he had first found out he was pregnant with Gale but he had loved the whole experience once he was over that. "I just hope that the hunters don't scare them away from us to much", he tried to joke. He knew that a lot of hunters had a lot of good reasons to hate men and there where also a lot who where more accepting then they where given credit for.

Apollo saw Gabriel's motioning and took a seat next to him picking up his cup taking a sip listening to the other two talking feeling so happy that his twin would finally get to experience being a parent. He had a secretive smile seeing everything play out through his foresight he loved what he saw he had never seen Artemis as happy as she would be over the next few years he couldn't wait to be a part of their loves and his Twin's happiness. He was so glad that they had finally had their hearts desire, children. He rejoined the conversation as Gabe remarked about the hunters. "They hunters don't mind me and they probably wont' mind you they are usually pretty nice to gay guys because they hadn't hurt them in the past."

Gabriel lent against Apollo as he sat next to him. He really was glad to have him around. Gabriel smirked at his husband. "Ohh, so its just your knights that they hate then", he teased softly. He did hope that having a former hunter as a sister might help him gain the trust of the hunters as a group as well. Plus there was the fact that he was friends with their leaders. He loved Noah like another sister and they where his sisters through marriage after all. "Either way, they will have to like me. Play dates are going to happen either way.
