Hera appeared in the home that she shared with with her husband. She didn't care Zeus thought about about their marriage. She was after all the goddess of marriage and she figured that her word on the matter should be law. Her opinion on the matter on the matter was that she was far about to let the power she had from being married to Zeus go.

Her kids stood at her side as she started to move towards where sounds where coming from the lounge room a smirk om her face as her 4 children followed. They where a surprise for her husband who had yet to met his 4 children despite them now being three years old. Hera had after all kept her space as he had asked.

"Hon-" she cut herself off as she saw the demigod the leaned so casually against her husband while watching the TV. "And who are you?" she spat at the boy, her voice dripping with every bit of malice she could muster. "Really Zeus, you have got to stop bringing your play things home. Does this one even know your interest in him will be gone in a few weeks."

One of the boys poked his head out from behind his mother and tugged slightly on her dress. "Mama, which one is Dada?"

Zeus was startle when Hera appeared and even more when a little boy poked his head out from behind her. "Leave him alone, It has nothing to do with you." He tells her with a scowl, before standing and moving towards Hera and picking the kid up and placing him on his hip.

"I'm your daddy kiddo, and what's your name? Your mama hasn't told me." He tells him, giving him a tickle. "This is Atticus," Zeus tells Finn motioning to Atticus before walking closer, to him wanting them to get along because Atticus was it for him.

He heard a soft cry from the bedroom and moved towards the back still holding Finn, He then picked up Kayci in his other arm. Jiggling her so that she stopped crying and giggled. "This is your little sister Kayci." He tells him as he moves back to the living room not wanting to leave Atticus with his wife any longer than necessary.

"Why did you keep them from me?" He asks, keeping his tone even so that it didn't upset the kids but he was steaming mad. "I deserved to be in their lives from the start."

Atticus jumped as he heard Hera and tried not to let her speech increase his own doubts of his relationship with Zeus. He knew he loved him bit he still had trouble understanding how Zeus could possible find and interest in someone as simple as him. He watched as Zeus moved to the boy that had made himself known and smiled at the kid as he was introduced.

He had been about to go and grab to Kayci at the crying when Zeus left him alone with Hera. He stood and turned to look at the Goddess about to introduce himself when the goddess cut him off with her next comment. Atticus frowned slightly and replied, "we shall have to see."

Atticus forced himself to try and relax as Zeus re entered the room and waited to see wait Hera would say about the kids.

Finn wrapped his arms around Zeus' neck in a hug. "I'm Thinn. And that's Thaith, Thallon and Thate", Finn replied pointing at his siblings. Finn glanced at Atticus but didn't say or do anything. "Mummy said we weren't to talk to anyone else", he replied as they left the room.

Hera glared at the demigod as they where left alone. "I don't care who you are", she started as he opened his mouth. "I could squash you like a bug."

She rolled her eyes at his comment. "No, It is you who shall say. My comment to you was correct, my husband always returns to my side."

Hera fell silent as Zeus returned to the room. She rolled her eyes at his question. "You asked for your space, my love. I was only giving it to you."

Zeus hugged him back with a grin. "Finn huh, that's a lovely name and so are the others." He says, feeling robbed of their 2 earlier years. "You can talk to Atticus he is my partner." He tells the boy, "Mama just doesn't like him."

Zeus felt the muscle in his jaw tick as he ground his teeth. "Thanks for that." He says in a snide voice. "You could have told me about them, what are you doing back then if you wanted to keep them from me?" He eventually asked passing Kayci over to Atticus before wrapping an arm around his waist and pulling him into his side.

Atticus took Kayci from Zeus, shifting her to arm so he could wrap the other around Zeus. The urge to flee was no longer strongest in his mind now that Zeus stood with him.

Hera narrowed her eyes as Zeus so blatantly claimed the boy in front of her. Things where only made worse as Finn shifted in his fathers arms to hug the demigod. "Hi Atipus. I'm Finn", he said to the guy. He shifted back to hugging his father.

A look of anger crossed over Hera's face before she schooled her expression back to a neutral one. "Finn. Come back here please. Atticus doesn't know you. Your probably making him uncomfortable dear."

Finn looked at his mother. "But I want to stay with daddy."

Atticus had to fight back a laugh as he grinned and winked at the boy.

Two of the other children Faith and Fallon, seeing that Finn was with their daddy made their way over and hugging his and Atticus' legs. "Daddy!" They cried together with a giggle, putting their thumbs into their mouths watching Hera. Faith and Fallon didn't like their mummy very much because even though she smiled nicely at them in front of Daddy she always gave them a mean look when he wasn't around.

Zeus smiled and passed Finn over to Atticus just to make his wife mad before crouching down and hugging his two other kids before picking them up and leaning closer to Atticus. "So why are you here?" He asked again not wanting to let go of his children now that he had them even though Fate seemed to not want to talk to him but he knew that the child probably loved his mother. "Hi there Fate, do you want to come give me a hug?" He asked not wanting to push the child into doing something that he didn't want.

Hera frowned deeply as two of her other kids went over to hug Zeus and his latest play thing, but smirked slightly as Fate shifted to cling to her even if he was watching his siblings. "I am hear because the children seemed to want to met you", she replied. "At least the others did", she continued, running a hand through Fate's hair. He always seemed to be the one that listened to her the most these days.

Finn was a bit unsure when Zeus passed him to Atticus but wrapped his arms around Atticus' neck and relaxed as he looked at how comfortable his little sister looked with him.

Atticus smirked as Zeus passed him Finn. He knew what Zeus was doing and just tried his best to make the kids like him. He didn't want to scare them away on Zeus and make him lose a chance.

Zeus scowled at her with an evil glare wishing that he could take her power and destroy her but unfortunately, she had yet to do something to warrant that so he looked down and cleared his face and took a deep breath before looking up again. "I'm glad that the kids are here even if they don't all want to meet me yet, I'm glad to meet them." He says, grinning at the little boy wrapped around his wife. "I take it you are leaving them here before making yourself scarce again?" He asked, his tone saying that was what was going to happen.

Zeus couldn't help the warm feeling in his stomach when Atticus tried to make friends with his kids he was so happy that they seemed to be getting along.

"Hey Finn, Fallon, Faith. It's nice to meet you", Atticus stated to the three kids that came over to them. He hoped that Fate would come over as well and was disappointed for Zeus when the child stayed close to Hera. The boy had obviously been brain washed by his mother more then the other three. Still he smiled at the boy. "Hey Fate. I can show you all around so you can pick rooms for when your mother leaves you with us", he suggested, looking at Zeus. It was partly because he wanted to get away from Hera and partly because he wanted to get the kids away from the argument that was sure to come from Hera at Zeus' demand.

"Sounds good," Zeus says smiling at Atticus glad that he was taking it so well. "Come on Fate you can pick your room first." He tells him, the other little boy reluctantly moved away from his mother, smiling at his siblings who were jumping up and down in excitement about having a new room even though they all knew they would share one room because they hated being away from each other.

Finn and Fallon wondered if they could sneak Kacyi into their room too, they had never had a younger sister before and they didn't want to be separated from her, they both wondered if dada would make them sleep in separate rooms like mama did they hated being in separate rooms.

They took hold of each other before taking hold of Atticus' hand. "Le go." Faith said from around the thumb she had in her mouth.

Before Atticus even had a chance to leave the room with the children, Hera started in on the fight. "I will not be leaving MY children with you and your filth", she yelled at Zeus, giving Atticus a dirty look. She knew it was useless trying to get Fate back to her side even if he was her little Angel. His siblings would hold him back from her now though, she was sure.

"It's only only that they wouldn't shut up about it that i even brought them here to see you now", she continued after Atticus had left with the children. "I won't have them learning stupid ideas from you and your fool."

Zeus had used his powers to make sure that Atticus and his children couldn't hear her callous words. "That is enough." He tells her infusing his voice with his power. "Now that they are with me you will not see them again if you keep up that."

He takes a few deep breaths before starting again. "You will not disrespect Atticus again. He is the one that I want any anything you say will just make you look bad in front of our children. You kept them away from me and I will never forgive you for that I missed out on so much of their lives and you justify that by saying "you wanted space" really Hera? REALLY?!" He asked, getting louder and louder till he was screaming in her face lightning and rain starting in the room in reaction to emotions.

He took a few steps back wanting to put some space between them so he didn't strangle her like he wanted to.

Hera glared at Zeus. "You will not keep me from my children", she all but snarled back at him. He had taken so much from her already, her reputation among it. She was the goddess of marriage and even she had never been able to keep her husband faithful to her, and the goddess of Family who felt on the verge of loosing that as well.

She scoffed as he said he wanted Atticus, "You wanted me once too, then you throw me aside like trash. Wonder when you will get bored of him." she almost let his next comment go but decided she couldn't. "You used me Zeus. I am THE goddess of MARRAIGE and FAMILY, and you choose to humiliate me time and time again while we where married. Excuse me for needing some space when you finally decided you had had enough of me."

she rolled her eyes as she started to get wet, she not scared of her brother.

Zeus couldn't help but glower at her. "It's not my fault you're a prude." He says snidely knowing that it would rile her up. "I didn't throw you aside but you just didn't fulfil all my needs it's not my fault that I wanted what I wanted." The words spilling from his mouth, he didn't mean it all but her making the low blow about Atticus made him mad. "It's not my fault that you finally decided that you would leave me, I just couldn't live with you trying to kill my kids anymore. You will not lay a hand on them anymore to poison them anymore."
