Heracles has been observing his partner's weird behavior for the past few days... Jack likes to cling to him more than usual. He gags at the smell of tea, and he likes to eat apple pie with kavourmas on top. That's... one weird fusion of their two cultures. Days pass by, and Jack's belly is getting... bigger? As if there's life growing inside of him. Both Jack and Heracles are stunned, since both of them believe only women can get pregnant. One day, they decide to visit Priapus, as he is associated with male fertility in the Greek Pantheon. To their surprise, Priapus is also... Stunned, he suggests the couple go visit Dionysus, but he's busy partying at that moment, so they decide to visit the Hindu Pantheon to consult with Parvati about this problem. She wasn't as surprised as Priapus was because... She has seen the same case with Emperor Qin Shi Huang. She said this case will be considered normal until all gods and goddesses of fertility find a conclusion to this case.

One night... They're tucked in bed together. Heracles' arms protectively wrap around Jack's torso, giving Jack and their unborn child the warmth and comfort he wants. Heracles wonders in awe, Do all men in Jack's era wear a cone hat and a nightgown to sleep? On the other hand, Jack feels warm... He has somewhere and someone to call home. Romance never really crossed his mind when he was alive. But once it does in the afterlife, he's married to the man, the myth, the legend Hercules, the man who loves him dearly. Although how dark and unjust his past is in Heracles's eyes... he still gives him a second chance. Jack's usual clothing doesn't fit him, and he doesn't want to be seen walking around in his nightgown. So, Heracles suggests wearing the clothes from his time, simple rectangular fabric pinned together. Heracles would stay by his side since the baby could be born any day now, and he feels proud since Jack is wearing a part of his own culture. Their routine consists of morning strolls, Jack admiring Heracles while we train, having meals together, sometimes taking evening strolls, and snuggling with each other in bed.

A couple of months before the due date, they calmed down with their physical routines, mainly staying in the comfort of their home. Heracles offered to take on most of the household chores, insisting on helping although Jack refused multiple times. He would often question Jack about his cravings and the strange fusion of cuisines. Sometimes, Heracles would lie beside his sleeping husband all day long until the afternoon, silently admiring Jack’s growing belly and feeling a deep sense of wonder and pride. Their days blended together until it was the due date.

Heracles remained by Jack's side throughout his labor, offering reassuring words and gentle touches to comfort him as the midwives helped in the process. After what felt like an eternity, Jack finally gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. He couldn't believe his eyes, he brought two new tiny lives into the world, although he had taken many in his past life. Two tiny babies lay crying in his arms, filling him with a mixture of awe and wonder. Heracles pampers him with kisses, saying that 'he did it'. And they decided to name their girl Leonora, and the boy Melios.
