Selene looked at both of them, then lowered her gaze. “I’m pregnant,” she said quietly.

Poseidon and Nyx froze, their eyes locking for a brief, tense moment as a wave of emotions crashed over them: disbelief, shock, fear, and finally, acceptance.

Nyx’s expression softened, and without hesitation, she ran to embrace Selene, the darkness of the night sky unraveling from around the Moon as she reached her.

“I’m so sorry,” Nyx whispered, her voice breaking. “I hid my jealousy over your relationship, and I let it fester until it exploded. I should have been honest with you.”

“I’m sorry too,” Selene replied, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I neglected our friendship. I ignored you, and I’m so sorry for forgetting how much you mean to me. You’re my sister, and I want you to be a part of my baby’s life.”

With those words, Selene and Nyx rekindled their bond, which only grew stronger from that day forward.

Shortly after, Selene and Poseidon were married. As a wedding gift, Nyx gave them a powerful gravitational force that forever bound the Moon and the ocean together, ensuring that tides would continue to rise and fall without disruption, allowing life on Earth to thrive and the ecosystem to expand.

When their baby was born, she arrived with long, radiant golden hair and a warmth that lit up the world. As she grew, she became the Goddess of the Sun, a brilliant ray of sunshine and a symbol of new beginnings.
