Lady Hestia had wanted a child for some time, but her vow of maidenhood made that hard for her. She knew it wasn't impossible though. Her niece Athena had plenty of children yet is still a maiden goddess. She just had to make one out of her symbol of power, the hearth, but there was one problem with that.

She didn't know how.

So Lady Hestia sought out her niece hoping that she may be able to help her with this little "quest" of hers. She knew that a portion of olympus was being rebuilt due to a rather overzealous Apollo and a drunk Dionysus. So the goddess went to look there first.

She walked around Olympus, looking at the intricate designs on the walls, sniffing the aroma of flowers budding in the spring, seeing the children play on the streets, she smiled sadly, thinking to herself one day, soon...".

She found Athena at the site hunched over a table with various blueprints mumbling to herself. Athena seemed to have noticed Hestia approaching, slightly curious as to why her aunt was here.

Athena straightened her back before bowing her head in greeting "Good morning aunt Hestia, what brings you here?" she greeted. Hestia smiled, Athena was one of the few olympians who treated her as family, she was easily one of Hestia's more preffered relatives.

"Good morning dear niece, I was looking for you actually." Hestia replied.

"May I ask what for?" Athena now looked at her aunt curiously, tilting her head slightly to the side.

"It is about children." Hestia stated, albiet somewhat nervously. She was worried that Athena might tell Zeus about her, what with him being paranoid about the great prophecy about a child of the eldest gods.

"You want to have some, don't you?" Athena asked, although it sounded more like a statement.

Hestia sighed sadly "Yes, even if it was only one child, I know I am a maiden goddess, and I know about the risk of the great prophecy, but-"

"You're willing to risk it for your child." Athena finished for her, smiling sympathetically at her aunt. Athena remembered when she was also conflicted about this. "And I assume you've come to me to ask how to make one without breaking your vow?" she pressed.

Hestia laughed heartily, "You are correct my dear niece, your reputation for your intellect fails to do you justice" she stated, impressed that Athena figured her out in less than 30 seconds.

Athena waved off the compliment "No need for flattery aunt Hestia, just call me If you need help and I shall come." she smiled at her aunt, knowing that if she did make a child, then Athena's aid would most likely be needed to prevent Zeus from killing said child.

"Thank you Athena." Hestia's warm eyes shone with gratitude as she smiled at her niece.

"It is no problem aunt Hestia" Athena replied. "Now allow me to introduce you to the wonders of children!" She exclaimed.
