"YOU'RE DOING WHAT!" Pythagoras yelled as he looked at Jason, Hercules and Ariadne as they stocked themselves with weapons from the temple guards armoury "WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING? OR WOULD YOU HOPE THAT I WOULDN'T NOTICES UNTIL YOU CAME BACK!" The ginger haired man shouted. Jason placed a small digger under his armour before walking up to his husband and took his hands into his own.
"I have to do this for you and our children if for anything else. She has to die." Jason told him as he brought his hand up to his lover's face "Pasiphae has to die for every ones good." He whispered
"Jason please don't do this I need you here, we just married." Pythagoras cried as Jason leaned in and kissed his lips
"I got to." He whispered softly as he looked down at the golden band around the slim finger of his husband. Atmell has them made for them both rings had the same markings and both have been blessed by the priests.
Pythagoras let out a choked sob as Jason kissed his hands before kissing his face again, they were only married the day before in the centre of the temple with falling petals of white Jasmin and it made them both smile making them remember their night in the Jasmin gardens. "Then I will come with you."
"No!" Came the group cry, the younger man looked around at them his eyes welling up with more fearful and angry tears
"Has you brains been washed away by hormones? You're about ready to pop do you think they won't kill you because you're pregnant!" Hercules told him as he went to touch Pythagoras' arm but the gingery blonde pulled away from all of them
"And what if you all die? I would be left alone wishing I could have done something more that it was my fault that you all died!" He sobbed as he ran away from them all.
"PYTHAGORAS!" Jason yelled as he went to go after him only to be stopped by a hand.
"I will talk him." Ariadne said as she walked passed him.
She found Pythagoras in his chamber laying on the bed curled around the pillow crying, she slipped into the room and sat down next to him on the bed before running her fingers though his hair "We are not doing this to upset you we're doing this for every one we can't hide here for ever Pasiphae will find us again and I wouldn't put it passed her that she would destroy this temple and very one inside just to get to us." She whispered again.
"I can't lose all of you." He sobbed quietly, she looked her head and then leaned down and kissed his forehead
"I can't promises we will make it back but I can promises you this if we do die you and your child will always be safe and taken care of." She smiled as she stood up "Rest okay you will see everything will be okay." Pythagoras frowned but watched her leave before he stood up and walked to the window to watch as they leave.
The moment he saw them leave he felt a pain ripple though him making him wince and double over, he gasped as he held his stomach as the pain faded but as he stood up he felt something gush as his trouser leg stuck to his inner thigh "Atmell!" Pythagoras yelled as another wave of pain caused him to stagger to the bed "Atmell!" He cried out again as the priest and a few of the other temple boys came running
"Quick get him to the bed." He said to two of the boys before turning to another two "Get be a bowl of warm water and sheets." He said, they nodded and ran off. "Okay Pythagoras when did the pains started?"
"I'v…I've have small twinges though the night." He whimpered "I thought it was nothing." He said as he let out another cry of pain "I'M GOING TO KILL JASON FOR LEAVING ME LIKE THIS!" He cried.
"You need to breath." The white haired priest said as he took a look to see how far long he is "I'm sorry to say but you still a while away from giving birth all we can do is make you comfortable as possible." He told him
"I want Jason."
Hours later…
Jason and the others were making good time back towards Atlantis, they were sure to make it there quicker than they did to the temple. But for tonight they stopped and sat around a small camp fire. "I'm sure he will be okay." Hercules said, he told them trying to convince himself more than Jason "The boy is made of strong stuff." He told Jason who was just staring at his golden band before he looked up.
"I know I-I just feel bad, what if we do die then he will be alone." He whispered as he rubbed his face
"What about…" Ariadne started to say and then stopped with a frown as she looked down into her drink
"What about what Ariadne?" Jason asked looking at her as she bite her bottom lip "Ariadne?"
"Icarus." She said, Jason frowned
"What about Icarus?" He almost growled his name …what about the man who tried to bed my husband…he thought angrily
"Well it was when you and I were- were…well you know together and Pythagoras and him were seeing each other for a short time." Jason forgot about him or rather he wanted to forget about him. The man was lost for Pythagoras and it bothered Jason that there was someone one out there who loves Pythagoras as much as he does he suddenly doesn't feel so good.
"What about him?" He asked with a snarl to his lips
"I was thinking he could help us get into the castle." She said softly "And he might have something we can use him and his father." All good reason Jason thought but still didn't want the man near him
"Oh good for a moment I thought you were going to say how about we sent him to my husband's side." He said darkly and he poked the fire with his sword
"Well we could do that to… you'll would know then that Pythagoras is safe if that man is with him." The larger man said, Jason looked at him with a dead look
"Only if we're going to die will I send him anywhere near my Pythagoras."
Pythagoras hears the baby cries though the blood pounding against his ear drums, he lets out a gasp as he fall's back against the pillows panting with tears running down his face as he felt the pink wriggling baby was placed on his chest. He pushed himself up and warped a blanket around the baby and himself and shivered at he started to cool down "You have a son." Atmell tells him
"He is beautiful." Pythagoras whispered
"He is a gift." The priest tells him. Then he cried out again and felt the same need to push again. Atmell frown and looked back at the gingery blonde and raised his eye brows "There is another one coming."
"What?" Pythagoras yelled as one of the other temple boys took the baby off his best and warped him up as the triangle obsessed bared once again.
