Tuesday Tales - Puzzle

Hi everyone! Welcome to Tuesday Tales!
This week’s word prompt is “puzzle”. We’re back with the second book of The Gods of DC Series. Athena has quite a bit on her plate at the moment.
*Warning - there are adult situations and language.**

Athena shook her head. “It’s not my place, Ares.”
Ares set the box on her desk then sat back in his chair. “No, Athena. You opened the can of worms. Spill. What is going on with Juliet?”
Athena sighed as she mimicked her half brother. “She came to me in tears. After I talked to Freddy, I told her the truth. How did she respond? She threw up all over my rug. Ever since all she does is vomit, sleep and complain about being achy.”
Ares eyes widened in alarm. “Whatever you did to change her from a vampire to a nymph is failing.”
Athena wagged a finger at him. “I thought that at first but no. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation.”
Ares just stared at her, his brow creased in confusion. Athena shook her head again and continued. “Come on, bro. Put the puzzle pieces together. It’s not that hard.”
“Athena, I’m not in the mood for games. Just spit it out.”
“You’re going to be a daddy. Again. Try not to fuck this one up like you did the others, okay?”
Ares gaped at her, his mouth dropping open at her news. She watched his jaw as he concentrated closing it for it to fall back again. “Are you certain?”
“She’s peed on a stick. It came back positive. We haven’t gone from there.”
“Huh.”
Athena leaned over her desk towards him. “Ares, she is still my nymph. If you hurt her or that baby physically or break her heart, I will rip you apart.”
He sat forward in his chair until he nearly met her nose to nose. “Athena, I have never loved anyone like I love Juliet. I wanted to get her pregnant while she was still a vampire but she didn’t want to curse our child. Now to find out she is carrying my baby, I’m torn between stealing her away to a high priced hotel room to celebrate or just taking her home and kissing her lips and her belly until my mouth is numb.”
Athena skewed her face up in disgust. “Yeah. Keep your plans to yourself. But you’re happy?”
“Ecstatic. Overjoyed. Beyond the moon. I love this little one more than my existence and I haven’t even met them yet.”
Athena slumped back in her chair and waved her hand towards the door. “Good. Go get your girlfriend out of my loft. And act surprised when she tells you, alright?”
Ares rose to his feet. “Of course, Sis. Thank you for watching out for her. I appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome. I’d appreciate it if you used the door…”
Before she could finish, Ares disappeared. The rest of her words fell on an empty room. “Like a normal human being. Which you’re not. You’re a god.”
