With shaking hands, Mia ran her fingers through her tangled hair as she hung her head into the toilet bowl of her dorm room. The white porcelain bowl with the fuzzy pink seat cozy-her roommates choice-had become all too familiar of a place for her for the past few days. Not just for puking though. She had taken over 20 different pregnancy tests that all said the same result. That little menacing pink plus sign was both a curse and a blessing. The gods were practically begging her to have a child with the other teen boy. Who was she to fuck with fate? She knew they existed, so it was obvious they wouldn't let this happen to her twice, right? She bit her lip and wiped her mouth easily, staring at the bagel she had just thrown up. It wasn't even digested yet. The thought of the stomach acid that she wasted on just that small piece of food made her throat tighten and heave once more, until she finally told her body no more, and hoisted herself up from the toilet, moving to brush her teeth and take some anti-nausea medication before she started the day.

Once she was all dressed and happy-go-lucky looking, she polished off the practical glow that was emanating from her body and curled her hair a bit, so she didn't look like she just lost all of her lunch. Today was a big day. She had to look the part, even if she didn't feel it. Today she was going to tell Brett, along with her best friend, Robert, that she was expecting. Again. Dear gods. Again? Now she just felt like a whore or something. Stupid baby hormones. Making her feel all emotionally defenseless and trampy. Oh well. She plastered on her grin and painted the bags under her eyes to match the skin they used to look like. Finally, she grabbed her shoes and tugged them on, along with her backpack, and ran out of the dorm, heading towards Robert's dorm room. She used the front entrance, since it was daytime, and rushed to his room, knocking politely on the door while waiting.

Most likely, Robert would be engaged in a great battle of wits against his alarm clock before eventually getting up and actually starting the day. she assumed the knock on his door would interrupt him putting on his clothing, and waited patiently for him to open the door, eyes bright and alert, despite having gotten little sleep due to the tiny peanut inside her getting all frustrated at whatever she tried to eat. Oh well. She'd have something at lunch. Maybe a big ol' piece of baklava or something... Oh, gods, that sounded fucking wonderful. She liked her lips at the thought and jumped a bit when Robert opened the door, before grinning up at him excitedly and shifting her book bag to her other shoulder. She hoped to Khione that she wouldn't puke on her best friend, and smiled even more.
"Do you have a minute? I need to talk to you about something. It's important." She nodded vigorously and hoped he'd actually let her in. It wasn't like she hadn't seen him getting dressed before. They didn't have that kind of awkwardness. They were bros. Or, something like it, at least.
"Please?" She gave her voice a little more of a sense of urgency, practically wiggling in her pants.

[ROBERT CHRISTOPHER RUSH]

the morning hadn't been the least bit unusual, really; the alarm had set off at eight thirty, awaking the sleeping senior. tiredly, he blindly leaned towards his night-side table and twisted the knob that turned the stupid thing off. squinting into the morning light, he glanced over at the other bed and unsurprisingly his roommate was gone, probably off to his early shift at work. he'd been complaining about it all during the prior night while robert tried to study, making the demigod just want to throw a pillow at his head to shut him up. instead, like the nice guy he was, he bit his tongue and nodded empathetically while not really listening.

robert yawned and threw an arm over his face in denial of getting up, though his plans to sleep in an extra hour were disrupted by the sound of knuckles against the door. moaning, he rolled out of bed and went to grab a pair of jeans and t-shirt from his drawer. "wait a moment." he called in a rusty, unused voice as he got dressed. with his dark hair twisted this way and that and eyes still heavy with sleep, he opened the door to see his best friend mia. pulling over his t-shirt, robert listened to what she had to say before asking why she was showing up so early in the morning. really, it wasn't that bad, it was just for someone who had two hours of sleep everything seemed obnoxious and uncalled for.

"do you have a minute? i need to talk to you about something. it's important. please?" she was bobbing her head as she spoke as though to convince him, though of course robert would never say "nogoaway". "yeah, sure." robert mumbled as he dragged a hand across his face. stepping aside, he let her in and closed the door behind her. however sleep-deprived the son of hades was, he still noticed the way her voice slightly trembled with urgency and how wide her ice-blue eyes were. she looked great either way, as though she'd done some extra prepping - her snowy blonde hair hung in slight curls and she had just a touch of make-up. something was definitely up. running a hand through his hair as a useless attempt to make it look a little less unruly, the senior plopped down on his head and looked at her expectantly. "what's up, mia?"

Mia smiled brightly and sat down right beside him, taking his hands tightly. Her own hands were shaking, but she was excited. She was going to ask her best friend to be the godfather of her little peanut. She giggled and raised one hand, running it through the curls she gave herself earlier. Breathing in slowly, she looked up at him and grinned.
"Well, as you know, I lost my first baby." She started, then blinked a little at his sad face. "Nonono! It's okay, it's okay." She patted his hand and grinned excitedly. "Becauseeeeee, I'm pregnant. Again. Not that it's a bad thing, I mean, it'll be really hard and stuff, but..." She shrugged and smiled more at him, eyes bright. "It'll be okay. Brett says it'll be okay. I believe him. Most days." She giggled and rubbed at her cheeks, feeling them heat up a bit at the thought of what her boyfriend would say.

"So, anyway. You're actually the first person that I told, so feel honored." She poked him in the chest and grinned, before folding her hands in her lap. Having a baby was a big responsibility. Elias had been cross with her the first time, but his wife had calmed him down long enough for him to be at a lovely little simmer. This time, she wasn't quite sure how he would react, or if he'd throw her out on her ass. She didn't really have anywhere else to go, though. Unless she bought her own place. Btu it was so much easier living with her brother. A lot less expense. Especially since it was just on weekends and during the summer... She bit her lip and twirled her hair nervously, before looking up at her best friend. He was watching her carefully. All she wanted to do was puke, now. She swallowed hard and smiled brightly at him anyway, letting her hair fall free of the grip of her hands.

"So, I was wondering... If anything happened to me or Brett..." She paused, then shrugged a bit. "I want you to be the godfather, Robert." She smiled brightly at looked up at him expectantly. "You don't have to say yes right now, but I hope you will because you're my first and pretty much only choice. I don't want to leave it to my brother; he's already got two babies, so I figured my best friend would be the best candidate." She shrugged and wrung her hands nervously in her lap, still giving him that same expectant stare. The added glow of her cheeks just made her look more like a goddess than a demigod.
"Pleaaaaase?" She grinned cutely and batted her eyelashes.

[ROBERT CHRISTOPHER RUSH]

his best friend sat beside him and curled her hands around his own, and robert instantly knew she was about to drop something huge. again. third time in a row. "well, as you know, i lost my first baby." a natural frown played across his lips, and mia must of noticed for she patted his hand frantically and spoke in a short burst. "nonono! it's okay, it's okay." before she said the big news, the demigod knew where this was going. his concerned face didn't shift as she spoke. "becauseeeeee, i'm pregnant. again. not that it's a bad thing, i mean, it'll be really hard and stuff, but..." she went on in a giddy voice. robert tried really, really hard to wipe off the sad face, though it wouldn't budge. instead, he stared at the wooden floor and tried to think up a response. really, how irresponsible could the two of them be? he knew that the thing she needed most at the moment was support, as he had showed throughout her last pregnancy - but again? biting his lip, he glanced up and offered a tight smile. fuck. he needed to try harder to look glad.

"so, anyway. you're actually the first person that i told, so feel honored." she said while poking him in the chest and grinning ear to ear. oh, what would he do with her? "um...congratulations? i think?" robert tried lamely, trying to get some enthusiasm from her bright face onto his own. you'd think, considering she had another year to go of school, she'd be a bit more "ohshit"...apparently, he'd doubted how close brett and her were. he was a friendly guy and treated mia great, so he was glad that he was the dad instead of someone else...either way, he couldn't bring himself to bounce off the walls like she was. it was like she had no idea the sort of shit she’d have to go through for the next five or so years. "so, i was wondering... if anything happened to me or brett... i want you to be the godfather, robert." there was a lot packed into those seven words. of course he couldn't say no to her, though he worried a bit about if it ever did actually come to it...hopefully, robert would get out of college with a well-paying job in mind, though aside from that he'd be living like shit in a tiny apartment who-knows-where. the senior reminded himself not to worry about it, for really, would something ever happen to the both of them? all his job was for now was to get him christmas and birthday presents.

"you don't have to say yes right now, but i hope you will because you're my first and pretty much only choice. i don't want to leave it to my brother; he's already got two babies, so i figured my best friend would be the best candidate." she sounded and looked nervous, playing with her fingers and staring down at her lap. looking up with an expectant look and cute grin, she batted her eye lashes and opened her eyes wide. laughing quietly, robert placed a hand reassuringly on her knee. he didn't really need much persuading to say yes. "of course. would you really expect me to say no?" the demigod smiled, then tried to think of something to say to make her sure that he was in full support of her. "if you ever need anything, i'm here. really. whether it's later on when your kid is running around on playgrounds or a week from now."

[EUPHYMIA ISMENE DIMITROULA]

Feeling her heart sink slightly at Robert's lack of enthusiasm, Mia bit her lip and put a hand to her mouth, before itching the back of her head and looking away.
"I knew you'd be a little disappointed in me, but..." She paused, looking up at him. "Not this much." She drew a knee up to her chest and looked at him sadly, before taking a deep shaking breath. Now she felt like she we going to cry. Baby hormones made a woman batshit crazy, apparently. She heaved in another long breath and looked at the ceiling, blinking back tears before listening to whatever else he had to say. She didn't blame him for being upset, but she did expect that he of all people could understand that she could do this. Even with an extra year of school that she needed to get under her belt. She'd only miss two months of next years first semester, which wasn't a lot, considering she caught up incredibly fast when she had miscarried the first baby. It would work out, because if the fates didn't want her to get pregnant, she wouldn't have.

"I can do it, you know." She said quietly, finally looking down at her hand. "I mean, Brett and I... We talked about it. A lot. We have plans. Lots of plans. Backup plans to our backup backups." She laughed softly. It was true; Brett and Mia had gone over a whole bunch of crazy shit like that just to make sure that if it happened again, they'd have a multitude of plans to go through and actually figure out what exactly they could do to get through it, especially with a baby to take care of. They had planned out shifts and day cares and babysitters and who would buy what for the baby, and how it's mommy-daddy time would be divided until Mia got her own place after high school. She had more than enough to buy a condo, and she assumed Brett would ask her to marry him at some point, even if it was five years from now. It could be normal. Their life could be normal. Apart from being demigods and having no chance whatsoever of getting rid of their powers.

So, a relatively normal lifestyle. Most teen mothers didn't have the type of patience that she had. She rarely got angry, even when she had every right to be. Brett always complimented her on that, so she assumed it was true.
"I just came here to ask you to be his or her godfather. Not to put up with me when I'm in my cranky moods." She laughed softly and ran her fingers through her hair, hands still shaking. "Besides, and abortion is not an option. First thing they'll do is freak out about my body temperature." She grumbled a bit and smoothed her fingers over the fabric of her shirt. "I just... Really want to keep it. It's my baby." She smiled warmly and stopped her hands when they reached her stomach. "And Brett will want it too, so. I've gotta do this. And I know I can." She nodded and leaned over, wrapping her arms around him gently. "You know me better than almost everyone else. If it were anyone else, you'd be all pissy. But it's me. You know I can do it, right?" She pressed her face into his shoulder. It was fucking terrifying. But she was excited all the same.

[ROBERT CHRISTOPHER RUSH]

robert had a sinking feeling as soon as she started to shift back and forth, from glancing way and taking a shaky breath. dammit. making people cry was pretty much top on the list of things he hated doing. "i knew you'd be a little disappointed in me, but... not this much." she gave him a sad look, eyes glistening in that way...robert sighed heavily, glancing down then back up. "come on, mia. you know i'm not disappointed in you. i'm just...worried." not quite the word he was looking for, though it worked either way. and he felt selfish; he was more feeling bad for himself, because he knew he'd have to go through her being pregnant all over again. and to tell you the truth, he was still drained from the last time. either way, he'd just have to suck it the fuck up and stop making his best friend feel like shit.

"i can do it, you know. i mean, brett and i... we talked about it. a lot. we have plans. lots of plans. backup plans to our backup backups." she spoke quietly, still looking down at her hands. robert chuckled lightly then shifted so that he was leaning against the wall, left leg bent. it was his usual sitting position, arm resting casually on his knee and other on his thigh. "knowing you, that would be the case." he joked, poking harmless fun at her organized ways. really, he wished he was like that - robert instead never knew where anything was due to his unorganized methods. if he was brett, he would of been scrambling. "i just came here to ask you to be his or her godfather. not to put up with me when i'm in my cranky moods." robert laughed quietly and bumped his knuckles lightly against her shoulder. "who else is here to deal with your hormonal turmoil other than me?" robert smiled at her humorously, then looked back down at his twisted white comforter.

"besides, and abortion is not an option. first thing they'll do is freak out about my body temperature. i just... really want to keep it. it's my baby." her hurt face was replaced with one of warmth as she trailed her hands down to her stomach, and robert resisted the urge to sigh for a second time that visit. "and brett will want it too, so. i've gotta do this. and i know i can." she leaned over and wrapped her arms around him; she was, as usual, freezing at touch. nothing new there. robert did the same and rested his chin on her shoulder. "you know me better than almost everyone else. if it were anyone else, you'd be all pissy. but it's me. you know i can do it, right?" robert knew she could, and it wasn't something to say just to reassure her. he'd seen how she acted with her nephew and all sorts of other shit she'd been through...mia was a strong person, that he knew. "you're right, i do know you. and i have no doubt that you can do it, mia. really.” the demigod told her. he pulled away and grinned, tilting his head slightly. it was an old habit he never grew out of. "so. any ideas for names? robert asked in an attempt to change the conversation to something not as prone to hormonal outbreaks.

Mia watched Robert quietly as he shifted about, looking highly uncomfortable. He was her best friend, but he obviously wasn't happy about this. Nope, not one bit. She patted his cheek and yawned, leaning back against his wall. Her and Brett hadn't really talked about names, but there were a few that she really wanted to talk to him about. She had only picked out girl names, however. Something inside her just told her that her little peanut was going to be a girl. Which she was so excited for. Brett and her would have a little baby girl. The first one ever born as a grandchild to her father. Knowing him, he'd want to be a big part of her life. Shower her with gifts, hire the best daycare services, send her a car for her 16th birthday. Italian made with leather interior and... Mia stopped herself and blinked.

Her father was a fool if he thought she'd let him anywhere near her baby. He was a crazy deranged old man who should have been executed or something years ago. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair, remaining completely calm on the outside. She could handle emotional swings, no sweat. She had been doing it all her life. She bit her lip and glance up to Robert again, smiling at him. A completely normal, regular, Mia-smile.
"Nah. I haven't really thought about names. I mean, there are a few I like, but I need to talk them over with Brett first. I'm only planning things for a girl. I don't know why, but it's like... I can feel it being a girl." She shrugged and laughed a bit, before looking around his room, then back to him.
"I kind of want you to pick the middle name, though." She smiled sweetly. "You don't have to. I have like, a gazillion and four baby books to choose names from. But you always seem to have the best suggestions." She shrugged.

Humming, she drummed her fingers over her knee and thought about it. She wanted to stick with some more Greek-sounding names for the first name. But something a little more Americanized, since Brett was actually from here. She smiled weakly at the thought of his dads. They'd Skyped once a few weeks ago, but that was the only time she'd really met them, so to speak. What if they didn't like her in person? She frowned internally, but kept her face free of worry,
"I like weird Greek names like Amaryllis and Xylia. But I also like simple names like, Zoe, Iris... You know, cute little short names." She shrugged, then laughed softly. "I kind of want her to have a horrible name she'll grow to love, like me." She paused. "Seriously, Euphymia? It's a badass name. I don't know why I hated it so badly." She shrugged and laughed softly.

[ROBERT CHRISTOPHER RUSH]

robert could tell there was something off with her smile, maybe it didn't have the usual shine to her eyes or dimples - he didn't point it out, however. he'd let her think that he didn't notice, for he knew if he worried she'd worry. "nah. i haven't really thought about names. i mean, there are a few i like, but i need to talk them over with brett first. i'm only planning things for a girl. i don't know why, but it's like... i can feel it being a girl." though he was about to let it slip, robert wasn't about to tell her to "have an open mind". instead, he'd offer encouragement and a shrug like a supportive, good friend should. "motherly instincts, right?" he joked lightly with her.

when she explained how she wanted him to pick out her middle name, robert blinked in shock and grinned. he was flattered, really; first god father, now he got to decide on names? running a hand through his dark hair, he felt like he had a whole new responsibility. "really? awesome." he thought of a bunch of simple, sweet names, things that complimented complicated first ones. because, knowing mia, she'd want something fifteen letters long. "i like weird greek names like amaryllis and xylia. but i also like simple names like, zoe, iris... you know, cute little short names." robert's eyes lit up at the mention of the name amaryllis; he'd never heard it before, though was instantly drawn to it. "amaryllis. that's a brilliant name." he smiled, then began to think of nice middle names. something short and sweet.

"i kind of want her to have a horrible name she'll grow to love, like me. seriously, euphymia? it's a badass name. i don't know why i hated it so badly." robert laughed along with her. "hey, way more bad ass than robert. i feel like a butler. or something." the senior chuckled at the stupidity of his words, though didn't fret too much over it. mia wasn't exactly one to judge and anyway, they were best friends. by then, she was used to his terrible jokes and awkward fuck ups. "well, names. amaryllis lynne? nah. um, amaryllis...marie?" robert visibly flinched at every suggestion. "how about...amaryllis rose?" actually, he liked that one. a lot. he glanced over at her for approval, eyes bright.

Mia smiled brightly as Robert grew increasingly flustered over the information she was relaying to him. She pursed her lips with a little giggle, waiting for him to process as he thought of the names.
"Amaryllis is my favourite of those too." Mia nodded wisely, tapping her chin like she was deep in thought, while she waited for Robert's answer.

When he finally spoke, she stared at him blankly, before a smile creeped up on her and she nodded vigorously.
"That sounds perfect, Robert!" She laughed softly and leaned over, kissing his cheek. "You are the absolute best friend in the entire world. I'd be lost without you, really." She nodded more and laughed softly.

It was true; Robert was like her main supporting block. Brett was always there now, but Robert had been around before him, which was pretty much an automatic bonus in her book. She loved Brett with all her heart, but sometimes she just felt easier coming to Robert with her problems, rather than worry about upsetting Brett. He already got upset over little things. Like the fact he'd probably never actually get to see his child, with his own eyes. Just in dreams. Which he said was fine, but she could tell he'd much rather be able to be awake and look down on his child and be able to say, "I see you there. I'm your daddy." It was sad, and a little bit heartbreaking. So, Mia didn't want to trigger any unnecessary moments of despair for him.

Speaking of Brett... She had yet to tell him. She bit her lip and put a hand to her chain, thinking deeply about how she would break the news again. She didn't want to get his hopes up too far; she was still in the danger zone. But... Yeah, she had to tell him soon. Last time she had waited too long and they had lost it before he could even have any dreams about it. So, this time, for sure. Maybe he'd even dream up if it was a boy or girl. That would be awesome for both of them; and make naming it a whole lot easier.
"Now, the easy part." She laughed, referring to the fact that telling Robert things like this was a little harder than it seemed. "Have to let the actual father of the baby know he's going to be a father." She nodded and moved to stand, tugging her coat back on. "Will I see you at the festival activities?" She glanced down to him curiously and she pulled her hair free from her coat and let the curls bounce around her shoulders. "Or did you and Ever break up?" She frowned slightly. They couldn't have broken up; Robert would have told her already.

[ROBERT CHRISTOPHER RUSH]

in those three seconds of her icy eyes blank, robert's heart dropped oddly in nervousness. though as soon as she broke into a grin and nodded, the senior exhaled and ran a hand through his hair. praising the name and leaning over to plant a giddy kiss on his cheek, he grinned along with her and felt proud of his name-making skills. or he just had a lucky guess; yeah, that was more likely. mia began to grow quiet, biting her lip and resting her cheek against her palm. robert blinked, giving her time to think up whatever she wanted to say next.

"now, the easy part. have to let the actual father of the baby know he's going to be a father." while the demigod was able to supply a name, giving advice to how to break the news to a seventeen year old his girlfriend was pregnant was a whole different ordeal. robert knew that the two were different than most young couples, and that last time he'd actually been great about it. or, at least, that was what mia had told him - it'd surprised him to hear such, though convinced him that brett was a good guy for her. and that he was lucky as fuck to have a girl like mia - robert couldn't think of one person aside from her that would be so awesome about the fact that he was blind. brett had looks to assist him, though that only went so far.

"will i see you at the festival activities?" robert glanced over at her once she broke his train of thought. his eye brows drew together and he bit the side of his cheek in response, trying to think of something to say. then she brought up ever, making the son of hades sigh and leaned his head against the wall. "yeah, probably." he began, regarding the question about the upcoming festival. "though not with ever." he knew that she'd get annoyed with him, if she thought that he hadn't told her about ever and him splitting. it was just, robert didn't want to burden her with his pointless love life while she's worrying over pregnancy. there was a big difference in the priority list. "we sort of broke up. about two days ago." he held up a hand slightly, the one that had been resting on his knee. "and before you get annoyed, i haven't told you yet because you've had a lot on your plate lately. it wouldn't really be fair of me." shrugging, robert leaned the side of his face again his palm with a heavy sigh. then he grinned and glanced over at her. "i'm a free man, for once." robert joked.
