She chuckled smiling at her husband her own eagerness alight in her eyes.

"I find myself also wanting to return to our bedroom. Would you mind accompanying me?"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 18

"We will take it a day at a time, my love."

She stroked his cheek in a sweet gesture looking into his eyes. She held so much love in her own icy blue one. Love for him and now happiness for the situation they now were in.

"You know what this means, don't you?"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 18

"Hermes has access to our future child."

She admitted to her husband.

"And when they are old enough he wants to take them on adventures with him."

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 18

She knew he would react that way. She gently patted his hand as if to calm him.

"I do not want you to worry about that at this moment. Just know I discussed the deal with Hermes and I saw it as fair."

She brought her hand up to his face.

"What are your thought?"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

She took his arm linking her own with his. She lets him lead her away. Once they are a decent distance away from the training area she looks around a bit.

"Lord Hermes paid me a visit... and we made a deal in exchange for fertility."

She placed her hand over his and looked into his eyes.

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

"I was just coming to find you, actually. I just had an enlightening conversation with Lord Hermes."

She bit her lip as if unsure of how to broach the subject.

"Remember the discussion we had about another child not long ago?"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

She comes outside and sees him. She smiles softly to herself before coming up to him taking his hand as she looks out over the guards.

"How are they doing?"

1

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

She needs to speak to @hauntedhero.bsky.social.

She is searching the halls for him.

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

"I didn't mean any of that. I will happily go through the stages of pregnancy again if it means bringing happiness to my husband and son, but I meant making a deal with you..."

He grins, satisfied with his work. A shrug answers her question.

"That all depends on you now. I've only given you the ability to conceive. To actually have a child and go through with pregnancy is a choice all yours to make.

...I doubt you would regret it, though."

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

Penelope felt a warmth spread through her body as he pressed his lips to her settling into the core of her body. Her hand came to rest on her lower stomach as she slowly pulled away her eyes wide.

"I... thank you, Hermes."

She stared at the god for a moment.

"Am I going to regret this?"

until his lips press to hers in a gentle kiss, infused with his power.

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

Penelope was silent for a few moments before she let go of the god's finger lowering her hand and her eyes from him. She thought about it and then thought about her conversation with Odysseus previously and how excited he had been before reality had come back.

"Yes... we have a deal, Lord Hermes."

— ❂ 𝙷𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚎𝚜 @goldnthieves.bsky.social · Jan 17

"...I see."

His expression eases. The mischief melts away to something softer.

"Alright, fine. Then do we have a deal?"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

"Because I want Odysseus to be able to spend time raising his child. I want him to be able to experience those firsts he never got with Telemachus."

She bit her lips.

"After 12 you may take our child for longer periods of time.."

A glance is given to her daring hand, but Hermes allows it. This time.

"I would never take a newborn from their mother. I know better than that.

And what if I want to hang out with them after they turn 12? Why 12?"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

"One day at maximum until they are 12... and no days at all until they are weaned. But you are welcome anytime during that time."

She reaches out daringly grasping the gods finger looking up directly into his eyes.

"But."

He holds up a finger at that, stopping in front of the queen with a snicker.

"I want partial custody of the child too. By which I mean I want to drop by and play with it sometimes. And maybe whisk it away on occasion. But I promise to return it if I do."

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

She was beginning to grow dizzy following him.

"I feel as though there is a but coming along with this offer of your, Lord Hermes...."

Hos grin remained wide and amused, circling Penelope like his next prey.

"Ah, yes... Mortals do have that problem. Old age... But, you forget I am also a god of fertility, queen of Ithaca. If you wished it, I can make it so you can conceive another child~"

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

She turned trying to follow him at all times. It was not as if she did not trust the god, but she knew he must have an angle.

"Passion between Odysseus and I are high, and I would love to give TeleMACHUS a sibling, but my body is older now. I am not sure I could even conceive."

He hums, floating around her head, barely hiding mischievous little giggles.

"Why not? I doubt you and Odysseus have lost your passion for another. And Teleport deserves a sibling, in my opinion."

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

Her eyes widen upon seeing the god. She bows her head in respect before answering.

"It is Telemachus, Lord Hermes... and I am sad to say I cannot give him what he desires."

Penelope! Dear queen~

It seems your son Telemarket desires a sibling. Thoughts?

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 17

Why is there so much discussion of babies in the halls?

She was quiet for a moment as if contemplating.

"I want to say he would be thrilled, but I suppose you will have to ask him about it yourself. I am sure that his answer will be yes though."

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 5

She cut him off raising her hand. She paused her strides turning to look at the man.

"I do not recall saying that you were not allowed in that bed. Did I? When I gave you permission to continue on as my husband's lover I was inviting you into said marriage bed along with it."

1

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 5

She looked at him, her eyes light and jovial as she spoke to him.

“And who is to say you would be intruding? The room can grow quite cold and I am sure a warm body like yours would provide quite a bit of heat to last through the night.”

1

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 5

She seemed relieved by his admission. Her hand coming to hover over her heart.

“I am relieved, that is okay with me, though I would have preferred you both come to our bed so that I would know if he slept through the night.”

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 5

She closes the distance between the both of them waking in step with him.

“Was Odysseus with you this morning? He did not come back to bed last night.”

1

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 5

“Well it is daylight, I tend to enjoy a bit of sunlight during the day.”

She was just teasing him a small smile on her lips.

“What are you doing roaming the halls?”

Penelope @weepingweaver.bsky.social · Jan 4

She is also awake and wandering the halls.
