WHO: Anne & Sam
WHAT: Going to Troy (what's left of it, anyway)
WHEN: Now
WHY: She's homesick

It hadn't taken her very long to pack at all. They weren't going for very long, just a couple of days, and really? Anne was grateful that Sam had agreed to take her for that long. She knew he didn't really understand her need to go, but the fact that he was willing to just go meant more to her than she could express.

It was a need, too, and she spent the night in the chair in his room, thinking. He'd asked her why she was sad and it wasn't that she was sad, not really. She missed her home, though. How it made her feel, how it smelled, the people. The people wouldn't be there, couldn't be there, and THAT was what made her sad. Selena, her mother's maid, her guards, all of the people she'd just abandoned... gone.

So, she sat there and waited until morning, then took a shower and went back to Sam's room. She got dressed again and waited some more.

	He tried to see it all, as she was describing it. Sam held her hand tightly as she pointed this way and that. "Where was your room?" he wanted to know. Sam had always been fascinated by people's rooms. He'd only had his own for the first six months of his life and it had ended in fire and death. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Her room. A smile as a memory came over her. "It was around this way."

Picking her way carefully over the rocks and finding a staircase or three fairly intact led her down to the beach. It didn't take long for her to find a crocus plant that had grown much larger over the time she'd been gone. Bending down she felt tears come and she wiped them away as she petted the plant and then stood.

"Up there." She pointed to an area that was empty. "It's there, on the highest level. There was a balcony that wrapped around the edge. It overlooked this beach. I had a bed that was... well, very large. A vanity made of marble that kept everything that I've ever treasured. It's all in my London home. The treasures, not the vanity. A closet that kept clothes for months. And my bathroom, a sitting room, a side room for my personal maid..." As she drifted off, she smiled up at Sam. "It was a big suite."

Looking down at the plant. "My father planted this in celebration of my birth."

Sam knelt down to look at the flower, and looked up to see where Anne was pointing.

"Your dad's kind of sentimental." he more said to himself more than anyone else. Rising, he wrapped his arms around Anne from behind her, one hand slipping to her little round belly. He just stood with her, quietly and took in everything around him for awhile.

"He'll know about this, Anne. He will." Sam promised.

"My father hadn't had a child in three thousand years. He has a right to be a bit sentimental. That and Apollo would have killed me as an infant to hurt my father." She grinned, feeling more alive than she had since she'd been sick. "My birth was a secret."

She placed a hand over Sam's and took a deep breath. "After he's born, the only way to raise the city is to be a god. Me. I have to do it. After Mother died, I closed it down. I left. Their Queen was gone and I wasn't ready to be that for them. I want my city back, Sam, but I want to be yours. With you."

Antigone didn't move out of his arms, she just twisted a little to look up at him. "I belong with you."

	He didn't really know what to say to that. Of course he wanted her to be with him...for her to be only his. "I didn't think you'd stay...this way...forever." It just made him sad that his forever had no chance of keeping up with hers. She'd see their son into his old age, when Sam was a long forgotten memory. He shivered a little bit and held her closer.

"I don't know what to do," she whispered. Louder, "When I closed the city, I swore it would be forever. That I wouldn't be selfish, keeping those people alive for thousands of years just to keep me happy."

Now, she turned in his arms and looked up at him. "If I weren't pregnant, just being here would have made me ME again. Our son prevents that." She wrapped her arms around his waist. "If I stay this way, if I leave the city in ruins, then I want to grow old and die. With you."

	Sam swallowed hard, not saying a word. He held onto her tightly and stuck his face into her hair. He couldn't tell her not to be who she was destined to be. He loved her so much, that he couldn't want selfish things for himself, either. "Just be happy, baby. That's all I need." he murmured to her head, doing his best to keep it together.

She clung to him as if she was going to float away without him to anchor her there. The tears that came this time didn't stay in her eyes. She could feel them start down her cheeks and then she was crying.

"I don't know what that is anymore, Sam. Being with you makes me happy. Being here? Makes me complete. I don't know-" She shook her head and pressed her face against his chest. The sounds of the ocean in the distance soothed her enough to stop her from losing it completely.
