Chapter 2

~ Hades POV~

I heard the doors opening so I turned toward them just in time to see Hestia fall to the ground as she was about to walk in.

"Hestia!" I yelled as I rushed to her side. "Sister are you okay?" I asked her and when she didn't respond I fell to the ground beside her. I felt her neck for a pulse. For two agonizing minuets I felt nothing at all, until I finally felt a very faint heartbeat. At this I sighed, it must have been pretty loud because I felt everyone's eyes on my back.

"What happened? Is Hestia okay Hades? Is she alive?" Zeus asked with soo much emotion in his voice it was pathetic. It took my entire will not to laugh.

"One, I don't know what happened. Two, I'm not sure. And three, yes she's alive but barely." I responded with little emotion in my voice. 'I must be strong for Hestia and set an example for the others, cause if they start to act like Zeus I don't think I'll be able to control my laughter.' I thought to myself after looking at my family's worried faces. "We'll first off we must bring Hestia to her room so she can rest. Second off get back to your jobs. I've got her alright?" I said in a monotone voice as I gently picked Hestia up and walked out of the room. As I entered her room I felt the remainders of the very powerful spell that had taken place in the room only moments ago. She always thought that no one knew what she was doing, but I always knew. I always protected her from the draining effects that the spell has on her by taking them upon my own soul so she would be spared. I had told no one of this for she had wished it to be secret and so it shall be until she wished to tell everyone herself.

"Hestia please wake up soon alright. Zeus is freaking out over this. It's pretty funny maybe I'll get it on video so you can see all the chaos you caused." I told her as I laid her in her bed and covered her up. I walked over to the small couch she had against the far left wall and sat down.

I wasn't leaving until she woke up.

~Hestia POV~

Pain...That's all I could feel, just pain. It felt like I was being ripped in two. My other rituals never felt like this, not even close. So why does this hurt soo much. The pain was so intense that I barely noticed that I was picked up and carried somewhere. I tried to open my eyes, but if I even tried the pain just got worse. So I finally jut decided that I would just be as still as I could, as it eased the pain a bit. As I lied still in my pain filled state I thought about the child I had created. 'Who did I give it to? Was it a boy? Or was it a girl? Who would she/he take after more in appearance? How about personality?' I told myself that once I was free of the pain that I would find out all of this and more about my child as I drifted into a pain induced sleep.

A/N:So... Ya. Sorry bout the wait I was on vacation to South Dakota! If you're from there I was not stalking you I swear, if not that's cool too!

I'll try to get in another chapter by the end of the week but no promises. I'm going to camp for a week on sunday, and my 4 & 8 year old cousins are coming up Thursday so I have to babysit them. So I have a busy week.

Remember if you have any suggestions PM me or just review I don't really care, but your suggestions are really helpful.

Bye! :)
