Who: Sekhmet and Shesmu
When: Friday
Where: Hathor's and Sekhmet's L.A. Home
What: Hi hunny, I'm home
Warnings: Egyptians, Mentions of pregnancy,
It was a quiet day for her. Sekhmet had all but pushed her Love-self and her feathery friend out the door with the threat that if she had to endure another round of hearing them have sex she would give into the urge to chase Horus around like the lion she was. She did more then love Hathor, but needed her quiet. She needed her time spend being lazy in a patch of sunlight in her favorite pillows. And much like any cat was aggrevated when their routine was interrupted, she didn't like it either.
So she'd dragged a beanbag in front of the largest window to watch the steady progression of her Lord-Father across the sky while she indulged in raw meat and the occasional sip of the wine Shesmu had left. As long as she didn't get smashingly drunk the occasional drink would not harm the child within her. Seeing it shared her blood, she gave it the benefit of the doubt that it could endure. She had dressed in one of her silk gowns, forgoing clothes when she could, and was at perfect peace.
With a lazy stretch she yawned before laying back and closing her eyes. She wished she could still purr. She felt content enough to do it.

Shesmu was torn about returning to Los Angeles. On one hand he'd missed Sekhmet and knew he should be there, but on the other hand... baby. Terrifying, petrifying baby.
In the end it appeared that Sekhmet won out over his fears and he headed back to the apartment he'd been spending most of the last year in. Putting the key in the lock and turning he, Shesmu found he was holding his breath nervously. He didn't know if Sekhmet was going to be pissed off at him for... no, not exactly 'running away' but... alright, running away.
"Anyone home?" he asked, stepping inside

When she heard the voice and felt his presence she smiled and rose. She had been angry, and hurt, when he had left but after spending time at her temple and regaining focus she had come to understand. She wanted this to work, and for that to happen she had to make an effort to know that he did not always understand things from her perspective and that like her he was a loner.
It would take time.
She closed the robe and smiled as she approached him, watching him. Then she reached up and set a hand on his chest. "Welcome home, you were missed. You missed Self and the ever charming Horus." The winter was good for her. If it was summer she'd be a mess through all this. "Ever amusing as he is to chase, I grew weary of them." She reached up and kissed him before stepping back, "come in."

Her lips were soft and warm and Shesmu found himself pulling her back towards him even as she tried to step away. "Hey," he smiled, burying his face against her sun-warmed throat. "Missed you."

It was surprising when he pulled her back. Ever since she had told him and he had left, she had made herself promise not to press for too much, to give him whatever distance he needed. Yet she smiled and settled her hands on his shoulders, closing her eyes. "I have missed you more then I can say." She let her fingers curl in his shirt, breathing him in.

They stayed like that for a few long moments before Shesmu finally drew back, giving her a smile. "How's things been, other than chasing Neferhor around in circles?"

She released him, reluctantly, because she'd gotten so used to his presence even when she slept. It had been hard going without it. "Quiet. You missed Osiris by but a few days. He will return soon. We are all distraught with the news of home." She sighed, "it aches I cannot help my people, that I cannot bury my teeth in that dictators throat." She growled low then shook her head. "Self took away most of my things, I was inches away from getting on a plane when she reminded me of why I cannot go running around Egypt."

Shesmu only had any idea what she was talking about because one of the caretakers on the New Mexico vineyard had talked to him about it, knowing his mortal alias claimed Egyptian descent. He would have liked to be there as well, axe raised. But he was here instead.
"Probably best none of us are there," he said. "Those of us that are there will do what they can."

"I know, but they should have never made us leave. It's not right." Her peace was shattering and she closed her eyes, taking a long breath and remembering Isis' commands. If she aggravated herself, she aggravated the child. She had to keep calm.
She smiled at him and led him inside. "Best we not speak of it. Osiris and Isis will return soon and I am kept at rest." She sat down on the beanbag and curled her legs up. "Self is looking for a bigger place."

Shesmu was happy to let the Egypt situation go. He wasn't there to bring order so it would only piss him off. He had enough things to think about here in America without adding other troubles to it.
"I'll bet she is," Shesmu said with a chuckle, imagining Hathor house shopping. "Something more in a palace?"

She sighed, "you know Self well. I've long given up the argument that it would draw attention and we have no funds for it. I half expect her to invite us all in some celebrities house." Smiling she extended her hand, "sit with me?"

Shesmu nodded, less interested in the housing situations than in her her. She didn't look very pregnant he thought. He took her hand. "And you?" he asked. "You're good? You and... the baby?" Terrifying little baby just waiting.

She smirked and raised an eyebrow, curling close once he'd sat down. "Going to spring from my insides in about five seconds." She chuckled then. "Relax. We are fine. I am fine. I will not show for some weeks. All I ask is you join me for one appointment to learn the gender, that is all."

"I still don't really know how to do any of this," Shesmu admitted, not that that wasn't painfully obvious. "I won't go again though."
At least, he really hoped he wouldn't.

Smiling she curled close, wrapping her arms around him. "Once the child's born it will be different. But, we are different. It was something I had forgotten. You do not know how to deal with this, and I need to accept this if I am to keep you." Smiling she kissed his shoulder, "if you do, tell me in person? It hurts to find out these things over something as inpersonal as a blog."

Shesmu nodded, his expression suitably shameful. "I will," he promised her. "It was cowardly of me to do it like that." Shesmu was not supposed to be a coward. He was a punisher of the guilty, a mighty headhunter. It turned out though that in a relationship he was as bad as any mere mortal.

"It was. I was more angry with that then anything else." They both had their faults, but she tried to work on them. She had not had anything this nice in some time and would fight to keep it. Smiling she settled her head on his shoulder. "At least I stopped feeling wretched."

"I'm glad," he said moving to kiss her head but pausing, unsure of the gesture. Instead he ended up setting his chin on her head.
"I've never been around new life," Shesmu said warily. "I'm a dead thing and I'm used to being around dead things. More than that... it's disquieting." That was a better word to use than 'terrifying.'

She glanced up at him, trying to find a way o soothe his fears. "Yet I am vibrant. I am not life, yet can be like the sun. You do not seem to be wary of my presence."
She sighed, "I cannot ease your fears, I do not know what it is like to be dead. My time in Duat was...discomforting at best. I guess Osiris may be able to understand how you feel."
