"I'm rather glad, I would never have a child with you, I mean half a devil's spawn why would I sign up to be tied for you for the rest of eternity? I mean there is nothing worse then being stuck with you, not even Tartarus." He says with another sneer, walking over to his chair and taking a seat, ignoring his promise to be civil he really disliked her.

He nodded to Zeus, before smiling at Zeus standing up he wandered over to Zeus looking down at the child in her crib. He lent over and stroked the child's cheek gently before smiling at Zeus. "She yours? Can I hold her?"

Hecate laughed at that. Oh he truly was too pathetic. What kind of a man could still be mad at you for something that happened so long ago. Truly childish.

"Oh I have always been rather fond of Tarterus. The god and the place."

She stated simply. It was true. Sort of. She had spent vast amounts of time down there. Especially when the upper world had just grown to difficult.

It was probably the fact that it had been a human, Hecate had begun to think a while back. Maybe that made it worse. But whatever. Being like all the other gods and goddesses except a rare few hardly made her a bad person. She had done nothing that they hadn't all done before as well.

Zeus ignored Hecate and Lyndon's fighting it was nothing new. However, the thinly veiled insults and threats that they tossed at each other were amusing most of the time.

He smiled at Lyndon when he stroked his daughters cheek, he loved it when other people liked his kids. "Yes, she's mine and you are welcome to hold her, but if you wake he you have to get her back to sleep." He tells him with a warning look, he didn't want him to upset or wake the child up because he had only just gotten her to sleep and felt a headache coming on.

Lyndon decided to ignore Hecate, nothing good ever came of speaking or being near her. He detested her, her selfishness and cheating that was one thing that he could not stand. He had loved her with his whole heart and been faithful to her the entire time that they were together then she goes and sleeps with someone else and tell him that she had been taking birth control the entire time that they had been together when they had been actively trying to have a child but missed it after sleeping with the mortal and got pregnant by him.

He slowly and carefully picked the child up making sure not to wake her up. He rested her against his chest, stroking her back gently. He wondered how something so small could feel so right in his arms. He wanted a child, he had given up on having one not wanting to let anyone close enough to form attachment to them encase they did what Hecate had done. "What's her name?" He asked Zeus.

Hecates heart throbbed in her cheast as she watched Lyndon hold that baby. For just a split second that pain was even write on her face. It was clear in her eyes. Luckily Lyndon was too concentrated on Zeuses baby to see and the second was over again.

Quickly she turned away, hoping to all the gods that no one had seen. It was days like this when she would regret the choices she had made. Even if those times only lasted a moment. Only until her senses were returned to her.

"Pardon me, Zeus. I will go... work on that shielding spell for you."

And with that she was gone.

Lyndon shook his head at Hecate's departure, glad that she had left the room. He walked over to his throne and took a seat still holding the baby. He loved how her weight was small but felt heavy. He had wanted a baby for so long, he had never had a child and had always wanted one, but only one born in a loving relationship, not like the other gods did, with a short relationship or just an affair.

He gazed down at the baby in wonder, he wanted one, but now that he was with Araseli he had a chance of having a child, a little girl or boy. He knew he would have to wait for her to grow older but now he had a chance.

**RE-BOOT**

Iian wondered into the room looking around curiously he hadn't been in here before, with being busy with the twins. His mouth dropped open a bit before he snapped it closed it was amazing, he looked around finally seeing his and his husbands throne sitting together near ones that were clearly for Pluto and Ellie. He took a seat on his throne taking in the site of it.

His clothes changed into traditional Roman armor, his daggers appearing in their spots, and a large black sword appearing on his belt. He looked down at himself in wonder. His face even looked more serous his hair curling around his face as he settled back in the chair wondering if anyone would turn up soon. Not that he minded being there by himself. He smiled at the thought of his children, he decided after a little wait he would go find them, it had been too long since he had seen them because of how busy he had been with work and accidentally getting lost in the shadows though he had been a god for a long time he still has a bit of trouble with loosing control of his powers. Especially when he was pregnant. He thought with a smile his hand drifting down to lay over his stomach.

Bellona sauntered into the room in her usual garb these days. Dark jeans, a leather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath and knee high boots. Paired with bright red lipstick, her entire look screamed, 'Don't mess with me.' Considering she'd spent the last few decades of her life working to get more woman in positions of power, she was used to putting out this attitude to deter irritating haters. It had become important to use with the gods as well since the decline of her particular kind of war. Until she'd reinvented herself, she'd nearly lost all respect. But she was back in power and it felt better than it had in centuries.

"Hi." Iian said turning to look at her from where he had been staring into space thinking about his kids and what the babies would look like and missing his kids he knew they had to go out on his own but he didn't have to like it, he left his hand there smiling at her. He had no idea who she was but he wanted to be nice to anyone else from Goddess' to demigods since he used to be one he knows how hard being both a god and a demigod is. "I'm Iian. Hades' husband. Who are you? If it's not offending you to ask your name?" He asked hoping that she didn't yell at him because at the moment he'd either yell back or burst into tears and he didn't know which one he would prefer at the moment probably yelling because it would be less embarrassing to yell at her then burst into tears.

Bellona turned as she reached her chair and eyed him for a few seconds before saying, "I'm Bellona, and you are?" She looked him over curiously, and while she wasn't rude, it was obvious she was used to being blunt and saying what was on her mind. She was curious about the fact that he was Hades husband, but she had nothing against either of them. She wasn't connected to Hades in any significant way and had never done business with him directly. She had no interest in the land of the dead or it's lord. Strange to see his husband here however, since the god himself was notorious for avoiding Olympus.

"Iian, god of Shadows and precious metals." He tells her with a grin rubbing his stomach again he was starting to get hungry even early on in his pregnancies he started to eat more than before, using his powers he made some food appear he had gotten very good at getting food to appear after his first pregnancy munching on a piece of bacon as he watched her. She was beautiful and untouchable looking, you know on a purely impartial way he looked over her he had no interest in women and even if he did he wouldn't have cheated on someone he was with it would be horrible to have that happen to him so he wouldn't do it to anyone else. "What are you the goddess of?" He asked with a smile still munching on his bacon. "Please excuse my eating I'm pregnant and am constantly hungry when I'm pregnant."

"I'm Bellona, the goddess of war." She told him bluntly, not going into it any deeper. She didn't feel the need to, as war could encompass conflict of all kinds. She looked at him with even more curiosity when he told her he was pregnant however. "You're excused, I would dream of telling anyone expecting that they couldn't eat." She'd worked with enough woman over the years to know that to do so was both degrading and dangerous. She wrinkled her nose at the smell of bacon however. Boar was Ares' sacred animal and she'd been unable to stomach anything remotely similar for centuries. "Excuse me if I stand upwind, though, would you?"

"Ohh I'm sorry." He tells her waving his hand and all the meat disappeared he picked up some strawberries and started to munch on them. "Well you'd be the first, some are very happy to get between me and my food and they didn't like the results." He says with a wicked smile playing over his lips ad he though of the sometimes funny or terrified results he had elicited when their teasing had gotten him mad or upset. "So what brings you back to camp, if you want to tell me that is." He says offering her the bowl of strawberries and mixed berries that he had been eating, he didn't want to be rude it was one thing he hated about some of the gods how rude they were to demigods and even other gods.

She gladly took a few berries with a murmured, "Thank you." She ate a few before answering, "I come back every few decades, see whats happening, what's changed." She scoffed, "Not much usually does, but then now, everything has changed. It's like the fall of Troy all over again. One moment, everything is the same. They're all fighting their petty battles over insignificant worries and then the next they're rebuilding the empire." She rolled her eyes and snorted. "And they think I'm radical." She sighed, "In short, I'm here to take stock of the current political climate among our people I suppose."

"Ohh sounds fun I'm here to watch the gods fight, it's so fun." He tells her with a large grin before popping another berry into his mouth. "Well that and I've never been here before so I was interested in seeing it, Hades didn't want me to come because he thinks that other gods will look down on me and I haven't had the chance come before now because I was looking after our twins so I'm hoping he doesn't figure it out anytime soon because he would probably drag me home because he doesn't like the other gods." She tells her with a shrug unsure why he was being so open but there was something about the other goddess that he liked.
