Hi... Frigg? It's me, Erato... Do you have a little time? I could really use your help with something...

You're welcome, sweetie. So how's Alexander?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

He's doing really well. Trying to walk. And is absolutely going to get spoiled by the new stepfamily.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Aw, they're so cute at that age. Given what I've seen of Bes, I have no doubt of that.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

He's going to be a wonderful father. And after next month, we'll get to find out if we're having a boy or a girl!

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

So no surprises for you two, eh?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I'm terrible with surprises! I'd rather know.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Heh, nothing wrong with that.

It's been a long time, but I still remember being pregnant with Baldr...

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

What do you remember?

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

I remember feeling fat. Mostly though I remember the joy, the anticipation of finally having a child of my own. I loved Odin's children as my own, but..Baldr was ours. My only child..sorry, zoned out there for a second.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I only had one back in the day too. A little girl.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

What was her name?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Kleophema.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

That's pretty.

I'd always wanted a daughter, but it never worked out.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I didn't have any male descendants for a while. Kleophema's only child was a daughter named Koronis, and she became mother to Asclepius, who had several sons and daughters.

And, you might still have a daughter. At least, you do have me.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

I..what?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Well, I dunno. You've kinda been like a mom to me...

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

I..that means a lot to me, Erato.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

You're welcome. It's nice to have a mom-type around.
