Clytemnestra's Gift
Category: Uncategorized

When Theseus came home for dinner he scooped his wife up into his arms and spun them around leaving in a flash of gold. He had her in his arms as they moved in a flash of gold to a deck of a boat in the waters of Greece the sun setting as dinner was waiting for them and he looked at her and he leaned in to press a kiss to his lips.  "I made a promise to my wife to take her to a second honeymoon. Sorry I am late." he gently set her down and he over looked the deck and he hoped she liked it. 

The first couple of months being married were so intensely amazing for Clio. True once they got home it was easy to recall how busy her husband could be. But it wasn't some unknown life to her, he had alot of people depending on him and she was there every evening to take his mind off of it all. Every time he returned home she smiled and today was no exception. But her smile widened as he scooped her up and in a flash they were no longer in their rooms. And the view was amazing as he settled her down on her feet. Her smile returned once her shock was off of her face and she turned to tell him, "This is beautiful, perfect," hands pulling his cheeks down so she could press a firm kiss to his lips. 

He grinned when she seemed to like it and he leaned down when her small hands moved to his cheeks and he pressed his lips against hers and his arms moved around her. "We...should....eat....first." he spoke through kissing his wife pulling back to laugh at her. "You have me for a week all to yourself on this boat." he grinned rubbing his nose against hers. "Plus you don′t eat enough and you sleep when I leave you in the mornings. You know I worry." he spoke and he pressed a kiss to the top of her head and he lead her to sit down. 

Clio pulled back grinning, but she didnt stop her husband from leading her to the table to sit down, which she did watching him with a smile. "Well in my defense you are just built with that hero stamina and im not so I need that extra rest after an evening wrapped around you." She winked playfully deciding that after dinner she could tell him instead adding on, "But i get a whole week without interruptions.... ill eat as much as you want me to." Still she felt Christmas morning excited about this upcoming week. 

"Well I happen to like being buried inside of you. But I also want you to be healthy." he sat next to her and his arm moved around her shoulder. "We do have servents that will be here to cook and clean but other than that we are on our own." he spoke and he pressed a kiss to her cheek before he picked up a fork and his fingers trailing up and down her shoulder. 

Clio grinned when his arm came around her shoulders and that is how she kept it, leaning into him, her light eyes moving up to his every so often as she ate. And she did making sure to eat more then she normally would have. His fingers keeping the track up and down her arm which left her with a smile as they ate. "This is good... im glad we are here," she said looking up at him again. 

He was done eating by the time she spoke and he smiled wiping his mouth and he nodded and he looked down at her and he pressed a kiss to her forehead and he grinned "I am happy we are here together and alone." he picked up his wine glass and he sipped from it. 

Clio smiled drinking from her water glass before she tipped her head back to look up at her husband. "Ive had to get used to sharing you with everyone all over again. But this is good, because id been trying to think of a way to make dinner special tonight anyway and this is better." She shifted her hip so she was facing him with a smile. "Id had a busy day today, including seeing a healer so i was sure i wasn't crazy, because i suspected... and i was right. Sometime next spring we will be having a baby," she let her voice trail off waiting for his response, oddly nervous for it. 

Theseus looked over at her as she spoke and his lips pulled into a large grin and he turned into her. "Really?" he moved his hand to his mouth and he laughed and he moved his hand to her belly quickly. "This spring we will be parents?" his voiced was excited and he leaned over and pressed his lips against hers his free hand moving to her cheek and he pulled back. "Is it to early to tell if it′s a girl or a boy?" he asked just as excited before his lips met hers once more. 

When he smiled Clio had one of her own, slight butterflies and a flutter in her chest which were only brought out stronger when he leaned in to kiss her. She smiled against his lips and when he pulled back form their kiss she laughed shaking her head, "Still a little early for that unless you want to call an oracle and persuade her to tell us our futures," she told him, her palm pressed to his cheek, so excited about how excited he seemed to be. 

"Would that be to aggressive if I was to hunt up one and demand to know?" he grinned and he pressed a kiss to her lips once more and he pulled back to look at her belly and he couldn′t tell that way so he knew they would have to wait to know what the sex of the baby is. "I love you Clio. I thought you hand in marriage was the greatest gift you could give me." he paused to laugh happily and he looked into her eyes "But this a part of us is just something.." he paused again beyond happy he couldn′t find the words. "So amazing." he laughed again. 

Clio couldn't have been more warmed relieved and charmed at his response to their baby and she cupped his cheeks laughing softly at his words. "It is amazing and i had debated hunting up some oracle on my own to see what we would have but then i thought you shouldn't miss out on something so huge. Still i am so glad that you are as excited about this as i am." And leaning forward she brushed her lips with his elated with a fluttering belly at the clear excitement in her husbands voice, dripping in every word.
