Summary: It's a godling baby shower!

All the preparations had been readied. At one end of the ballroom stretched a long table laden with refreshments: sandwiches, cold cuts, cake, mints, punch--though, naturally, nothing that was generally recommended that pregnant women should avoid.

Seven piles of gifts ringed the room, each one labeled for a different mother-to-be. The piles for Melpomene and Aphrodite were doubly large--for the expected twins, of course. The gifts were not labeled to indicate who had sent them, though. Still, it seemed like each one contained enough things for both mother and baby up until the little ones were ready to march off to school.

Before looking further at the present, Tara had some punch. Then she had some more punch. She was /thirsty/, okay?

Then she looked at the package and, instead of opening, she sits on the floor beside the pile and begins carefully examining each package while moving it as little as possible.

"No mail bomb in this one," she announces to herself before setting the first aside and moving on to the next.

Seth had some punch of his own, but didn't tear through it like Tara did.

"I can't fault you for being cautious babe, but I don't think they brought us here just to kill us themselves."

"Point..." she opens one, finding several pairs of small cream-colored baby socks. Her face lights up. "... clearly, their goal is to turn me completely sappy."

He looks over her shoulder to see the socks. "Socks turn you sappy?"

[identity profile] littlebithorny.insanejournal.com 2012-10-21 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
"Baby socks have some kind of direct link to maternal hormones. I swear I will write a scientific paper on it someday. You had better not laugh at me."

Aphrodite entered with her head held proudly. She also entered alone. Her smile didn't completely ring true, but she lovingly touched the fabric of a velvet toddler's dress in a rich burgundy hue, alone with little matching barrettes.

Triton entered, albeit rather stiffly. Clearly, he wasn't comfortable in this place, but his expression was the same one of grim determination that he was going to fulfill his duty if it killed him.

"My father has declined the invitation," he told Aphrodite, "So I am in attendance in his stead."

[identity profile] venusingucci.insanejournal.com 2012-10-24 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Aphrodite blinked.
"Oh. Thank you," she said. She smiled just a little. Let it not be said that Triton wasn't a responsible lad.

Apollo looked over the room like a child at Christmas, one arm very determinedly locked around Melpomene.
"Imagine! All of this, just for us!" he gushed, pulling Melpomene in along with him.

She had the brakes on full for all the good it did her. She did not want to be there. She hated the whole baby thing. Apollo knew that, and still he dragged her, literally, to the stupid shower.

"Yee-fucking-haw."

Seph looked up the /adorable/ little yellow dress she was opening from her own stack of things and waved to Apollo and Melpomene.

Hades had been sitting quietly next to Persephone, reviewing over the clothes she showed him. He gave a polite wave to his nephew and his Muse mother-to-be.

[identity profile] inspiredvoice.insanejournal.com 2012-10-22 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
She gave a wave that managed to be even less than half hearted to Hades and Seph. Her focus was not on staying and being social, but escape. She made yet another attempt to wiggle out of Apollo's arms. "Okay, I showed up. Can I go now?"

Ogma entered the room arm-in-arm with Lilith.
"Hey, all right! I'm afraid we've gotten rid of pretty much all of Devin and Harper's baby things," he said, looking over the pile of gifts.

[identity profile] womanontop.insanejournal.com 2012-10-21 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
She beamed at Ogma's enthusiasm. She was delighted to see him so excited about their baby. "It looks like someone's trying to make up for that. I can't believe there's so much just for us."

[identity profile] inked-oak.insanejournal.com 2012-10-22 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, kids need a lot of stuff. Just be glad we're having a boy. I swear, Harper had twice as many things as Devin, and not just because she was the second child. Looks like we've got enough here to last him for the first five years, at least," Ogma observed.

"It's very generous, but half the fun is the shopping." Her pout was pretty and utter pretense. She was absolutely itching to tear open the packages.

[identity profile] inked-oak.insanejournal.com 2012-10-22 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, if there's anything here you don't like or we can't use, we ca return it to Godlings 'R Us and you can take full advantage of the store credit," he teased.

Dionysus walked cautiously into the ballroom, and while he didn't gasp and flop around like a fish out of water, he felt like one in almost every other respect. "This is so not my usual thing," he muttered to himself, determined to be social nevertheless as he walked towards the assembled guests.

[identity profile] venusingucci.insanejournal.com 2012-10-22 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Aphrodite was the first to acknowledge him.
"I suppose you're here because of me," she said.

[identity profile] acratophorus.insanejournal.com 2012-10-23 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
He nodded, saying "Well, you know, I'm always around when someone throws a party. Besides, it would be rude not to show up."

[identity profile] venusingucci.insanejournal.com 2012-10-23 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
"...And none of this interests you at all, does it?" Aphrodite sighed, gesturing to the pile of things for a little girl, mostly in various shades of wine.

[identity profile] acratophorus.insanejournal.com 2012-10-23 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
"It's, well, not something I've got a lot of experience with," he stammered, looking over the gifts. "Still, the color's nice," he added, giving the dresses a second look.

Erato had entered with an admittedly less-than-comfortable-looking Achilles, and was happily cooing over the baby items.

[identity profile] amberwaveograin.insanejournal.com 2012-10-29 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Sif had squealed with delight upon seeing all the gifts meant for her.
"Oh my goodness! Did you have this many things with Tina?" she asked Tyr.
