Love. Illusions. Manipulation. Charmspeak. Power. O how I love being a goddess. Currently I was happily skipping around my house because of the new demigod I just made. His a very cute baby I thought while I held him in my arms. I grinned what could I do to make my child even more... charming and powerful.
Jordan's little face turned and opened his sparkling green eyes to look at his mother. His step mom of course because even though there was no way of knowing at the time he is a demigod and godly parents taking care of there children directly are forbidden. A powerful halfblood of a goddess who made love to a handsome entrepreneur of a very successful college named after the goddess herself or at least what he thought she was called. The step mom, Rachel, who was only a few weeks into being pregnant with her own son already loved Jordan the brown haired baby very much even though she had only been married to Avery Charm for a month now she quickly took a liking to the three months old baby.
Hey, baby I'm home! Rachel turned around and smiled at her husband. He was at the door taking off his shoes and setting down his suitcase. He looked up and smiled, "How's Jordan?". Rachel looked at the baby in her arms then looked at Avery, "His been good as usually,". Rachel sat down in the living room on the couch. "How was work?"
"Paper work and more paper work but you already know that," Avery came over and sat on the brown couch next to his beautiful wife and turned on the television, "Well we did have something really weird happen today." Rachel who didn't look up from Jordan asked "and what would that be?"
"A baby rattle was on my desk when I went in this morning." Avery showed the rattle to Rachel and gave it to the small hand of Jordan Charm. He looked at it grinned and laughed while the rattle made noise when he shook it. The rattle was a silver color and had a big A on the handle of it. Taking notice of the A Rachel asked, "what's the A stand for Avery?" Avery looked at the rattle, "um I'm not really sure because I didn't buy it but I doubt it stands for my name." Avery got up and went to the fridge. "Whatever it stands for it was nice of whoever it was that gave it to us." Avery looked at his watch, a shiny black watch he got from one of his new students father. The watch had a ring of jewels around it giving it a royal and expensive look. "I'm heading up to my office baby, I love you."
Rachel saw he had already walked up the stairs and called up after him, "we love you to!"
"Nico have you found the halfblood or the satyr at the college yet?" This was getting ridiculous the boy of mine has had over a year almost to find them! I mean he was graduating already! Well would be if he wasn't actually only fourteen and he wasn't actually attending the college classes I just made everyone believe he was with the mist. "But Father I have found the satyr but he hasn't found the demigod child either!" Lord Hades the god of the underworld sat on his throne with a confused look. "No child has ever evaded a satyr for that long though."
"Father it's true I talked to him earlier today about it."
"If he hasn't found him after this long then why is he still looking?"
"Because of Percy, father." Hades looked at Nico from his throne in his godly height. "If he is in college already he was suppose to be at camp by now shouldn't he."
"It could be a she father."
"Return to whatever you were doing before Nico leave me to my thoughts and look harder this time." Nico shadow traveled out of the throne room with a sad face and Aphrodite's face pop up on a iris message in his place. "Aphrodite what a surprise." Hades looked bored. Probably because he was unlike most men, he didn't get excited when Aphrodite showed up. "i here your having trouble looking for a halfblood." she smiled. "I'm here to make a deal with you." Aphrodite's smile widened when she saw the scowl on Hades face. "What deal?"
I'll help you find the demigod if you bless him."
"and why in the name of my arrogant brother would I do that?"
"Because wouldn't you want another child?" The big three you see can't have children or at least aren't suppose to be able to have children because they are to powerful compared to the other god's children.
"I may want more children but I want them to be my children and it wouldn't benefit me at all to help this demigod out other than have Nico take him to camp."
"It would though because it would take some of the interest off Nico and put it on your new child because everyone would think that it's yours because he has your powers."
"Nico will be fine he has proven himself to the gods already." Aphrodite frowned this was not going has she planned she wanted her son to be powerful and strong. Why? Because to many people and gods considered her children weak and useless. The goddess of love put some of her famous charmspeak into her next words and smiled brightly. "Just consider it a personal favor for me to do this and I just know how much you love to show off how great your children are compared to your brothers." Hades looked at the goddess with disgust but he did like to humiliate his brothers every chance he got. Plus Nico wasn't as heroic as he would prefer... "Where is the child at Aphrodite?"
"So does this mean we have a deal?" she asked happily almost squealed. Hades looked like he was making a tough decision. "Yes Aphrodite I think we do." Then Hades grinned evilly. "but only if you bring the child to me personally by tomorrow." Aphrodite wasn't phased by his request. Which in turn upset Hades because that's what he was going for. "Of course! I mean I couldn't trust your son to find him now could I!" Aphrodite cleared the iris message now it was time to visit her so called husband. Back at the throne room Hades was seething. That was a low blow but he also was mad because he felt like he just made a deal with the devil and was manipulated into doing it. It should be the other way around...
At Avery's house Aphrodite appeared at the front door and knocked it was around noon. The door opened to reveal a baby and a mother. The baby was holding a silver rattle. "Hello what can I do for you?" Aphrodite looked at the women through her sunglasses and smiled at the baby in her arms. "O didn't you know I'm here to pick up my child!" Rachel was taken aback because Jordan's mother left when he was born and from she heard from Avery about her cheating on him and with two guys at the same time it was enough to make her hate this girl. This happened months before Jordan was born and before they got married. "No I think your mistaken this is my child." Aphrodite took off her sun glasses and leaned her head just a little bit closer to the women holding her baby like she couldn't believe what she just heard. "Honey," Aphrodite smiled venomously. "you poor thing you must of not have gotten the memo but I'm taking Jordan." Rachel looked at Aphrodite with glazed eyes and handed her Jordan. "Thank you now why don't you go and bang your head against that wall over there until Avery gets home." Rachel turned and then preceded to beat her face into the wall. Aphrodite closed the door and laughed. O how she loved to be a goddess.
