This is my first fan fiction. I hope you like it. I'll try to update as much as possible!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Goddess Test, Aimee Carter does (I'm only saying this once because I'm pretty sure I won't be switching bodies with her any time soon).
Kate's POV
I slump forward on my white diamond throne and sigh. Ten years ago today Ava gave her life to save mine. The grief was hard enough on me, paired with the tiring act of helping Eric, Ava's oldest son, find the new goddess of love to fill the empty position on the council, it was nearly unbearable. We'd gone through one girl every year, nine so far, meaning that the next will come soon. But it's starting to feel impossible. First there was Hannah, then Victoria, Michelle, Jane, Sandra, Isabell, Marie, Grace, Nicole and most recently, Lindsey. Most of them had failed before we could dare hope. Others started, only to fail spectacularly. It was hard to find someone who embodied love in such a cruel and dark world. Henry looks at me with worry in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" He asks in a voice meant for only me.
"I'm fine, just please tell me that we're done for the day." I say, gesturing to the group of left over souls, which was considerably smaller than it had been that morning.
"Yes, we are done." Henry says with a small smile "Let's go see what trouble Milo and your mother have gotten into." I laugh and close my, when I open them Henry and I are standing in our son's bedroom. Milo is sitting with my mom in the middle of the room. In between them is a large block tower and when Henry and I walk over, the precariously placed blocks fall down, landing on the two of them.
"Mom!" Milo groans as he glances at his ruined masterpiece.
"Hey blame your dad, not me!" I say, putting my hands up in surrender.
"Don't worry sweetie." My mother whispers softly "You can rebuild it. Why don't you start on that know while I talk to your parents?" Milo huffs in reply but goes back to work. My mom stands up and joins us in watching Milo.
"So how was it today?" my mother asks in a whisper.
"Tiring." I say simply.
"Kate is doing marvellously." Henry says with some amusement in his voice at my bluntness.
"That's great." My mother says with a warm smile that I return "You know, you two could probably use a night off from parenting, I could take him for the night." Henry glances at me questionably but I just shrug slightly.
"Diana, we couldn't possibly…" he starts to say but stops when he sees the look she's giving him.
"That wasn't a question Henry." she says firmly "You guys should take the night to… relax."
I smile at her "Well if you insist…"
Henry and I wave as Milo and my mother disappear up to Olympus. As soon as they're out of sight Henry moves behind me. I think he's starting to walk back to the place and I am about to follow when I feel his arms slip around my waist. He kisses my neck lightly before moving down to my shoulder.
"Henry, not out in the open like this." I scolds and he laughs lightly.
"Okay, close your eyes." He whispers. When I do, the familiar feeling of disappearing and reappearing washes over me. I open my eyes and am only slightly surprised that we're in our bedroom.
"Henry…" I try to say, but he shuts me up with a kiss. When we break apart he gives me that look. The look that makes my stomach do summersaults and makes me feel like I'm the most beautiful person in the world.
"I love you so much it hurts." I whisper.
Henry pulls me closer and whispers back "Unfortunately we will both be in agony for eternity." He lays me on the bed and we lose ourselves in each. We haven't had a night like this in a long time.
