Thanks for the reviews, your feedbacks are well appreciated.
Disclaimer: I own neither Naruto nor Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
It has been 8 months since Naruto and Dite first met. They had been on many dates since then and had gotten very close to one another. Though there were topics that they were a bit uncomfortable with, like Naruto's past and Dite's family.
When she asked about his past, He just said that he was an orphan from a village in the east and traveled here in order to start a new life. When he asked about her family, she replied that they fought a lot, constantly bickering, mocking and annoying one another.
It has been 2 weeks since he had last seen her and was starting to worry about what happened to her. She told him she was leaving for work and would be back in a couple of days. Even though this wasn't the first time she left for work but this was the first time she didn't come back on the day she said she would.
Meanwhile on Olympus, Aphrodite was getting a bit anxious. She was called into Olympus 2 weeks ago for something; she forgot what it was, she didn't care what it was about since there was something that was currently of more importance than it.
She was pregnant. She discovered it just a day before being called to Olympus.
Currently, she was in her temple tending to her and Naruto's baby daughter. She was preparing to tell him about their daughter. She would send deliver her baby daughter to Naruto alone, she had just 'convinced' Hermes to do so; what a wonderful ability charmspeak is. She would also have to tell him about the monsters coming for them due to their daughter's status. Camp Half-Blood was also something she would have to tell him.
On one hand she was happy about finally having a child with Naruto. On the other hand she was scared and hurt.
She was scared since she knew that when she would give her daughter to Naruto that meant she would have to leave him. That thought hurt her, she loved Naruto, and she really did, more than any other human she had made a father of.
Naruto had just finished eating dinner when he heard the doorbell rang. He smiled and sighed in relief, knowing it was Dite on the other side of the door.
'I could recognize her perfume from a mile away' he then started walking towards the door.
He smiled as he saw her as beautiful as ever and the sight of her holding a baby made her look even more beautiful.
'Wait…. BABY?!' he screamed inwardly upon seeing a baby with blonde hair and blue eyes that looked much like his own, in her arms.
Before he could make any thoughts on why she was holding a baby, Dite interrupted him.
"Naruto, dear, meet Nicole, our daughter" she said with love filled words as a mom would to their daughter.
Naruto's jaw dropped and eyes widen upon hearing what she said. But after a moment of thinking, he knew she didn't lie, years as a ninja gave him the knowledge to tell if someone was lying, even though his skill were dull, he could still figure out if people were lying. He knew she was telling the truth, Dite would never lie to her about something like this. He believed that the baby in front him was his, he could see their resemblance, his trademark golden blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, though she lacked his whisker marks and she had Dite's face. But most of all he could feel it, she was his daughter, he already felt a connection to her. because of that he felt love for her.
He slowly reached his hand to his daughter, wanting to hold her in his arms. And he did, he held her as gently as he could. "Hi sweetie, I'm Naruto, your dad" he whispered gently and as he did, tears fell out of his eyes.
He was a father, he has a family. The family he had always wanted as a child. The family he never had but now has. He was happy, beyond anything he has been before.
He smiled upon see her daughter's tiny arms stretched and moving in random directions and her eyes looking into his while she was also smiling.
Dite teared up at the sight; Naruto, smiling; the most beautiful one she had seen, with tears in his eyes holding their daughter in his arms.
He went inside the house, and without looking back, he spoke.
"Come inside Dite, you have a lot of explaining to do."
She nodded in understanding and prepared herself mentally for what was to come before entering the house.
After properly laying his now sleeping daughter down on his bed, Naruto went to towards the living room where Dite was waiting and sat across her.
"So, explain why I suddenly have a daughter" He said as he narrowed his eyes.
Dite took a deep breath before saying "I am Aphrodite the Greek Goddess of Love" with complete seriousness.
"Prove it." He felt a little sorry for sounding harsh but it was needed. He didn't want to believe that he got involved with gods once again.
She sighed and snapped her fingers. Immediately a bright light appeared over her head, it was pink and was shaped like a dove. She felt a little weird for having to claim herself just like how she would claim her demigod children.
It was all Naruto needed to see before believing her. He just needed her to use some kind of power no matter how small.
He was disappointed at himself. How could he not notice something different from her? He was a ninja for gods' sake, not to mention one of the strongest to ever live, he should have noticed it no matter how well hidden it was. His skills were now as sharp as a wall, great.
Naruto let out a sigh and said "Not again".
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I've also been keeping secrets from you"
"Like what?" She replied, not liking the sound of this at all.
"I am not from this dimension, I ended up here due to an accident when I was researching on dimension hopping."
"How? Normal humans don't have the power to cross dimensions"
"Ah but you see, my dear, I am not exactly normal."
He smiled softly as he walked towards her and held her hands before muttering an old jutsu he had learned after the war "Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique".
The next thing Dite saw was a bright yellow flash and as it faded, she noticed she was no longer in the living room but was now in the guest bedroom of Naruto's house.
"Teleportation" she whispered in awe as she processed what her mortal lover had just done.
"Yep" he said in a small chuckle.
"H-How? mortals aren't normally supp-" Before she could finish her sentence she was suddenly interrupted.
"But you see, I am not exactly normal."
"In our world we have something called chakra in our body and we could use it in multiple ways, teleportation is one. My team and I fought against a goddess before I arrived here, she wanted to kill everyone but we eventually succeeded. It was an experience I didn't want to go through again so I decided to start a new and peaceful life. I was experimenting on dimension hopping when an accident happened and I ended up here, where I decided to start my life anew."
Dite frowned but hugged him anyway, "Why didn't you tell me before?" she asked.
Naruto hugged her back "I was going to tell you eventually. It's kind of hard to tell someone about this" he replied.
"True" she agreed, satisfied with his answer.
"Naruto, I have to leave by tomorrow morning. I can't raise our daughter, you know this right?"
Naruto merely nodded his head, they've talked about this in the past, about how it's a very stupid law. He hugged her closer, sad that she was about to leave him very soon. Earlier when he found out she was a goddess and that they have a daughter, he connected the dots and was devastated, a part of him hoped that maybe she found a loophole, maybe she could stay. His hopes were crushed after hearing her words.
"When she is old enough, there is a camp where you could send her to, a camp for demigods, camp half-blood. She could spend a summer there, where she gets to spend time with her siblings and fellow demigods. The place is protected so you don't have to worry about her being in danger there."
"That decision is not mine to make, I will let her decide for that herself." he replied.
"I guess you're right."
"Naruto, make tonight something special" she said as she pulled him into a deep kiss.
"That was amazing" Dite said while cuddling with Naruto after the best night they've ever had.
'Shadow Clones are amazing' she giggled as she remembered the technique and how it was used in bed.
Reality struck again when she remembered that she would have to leave soon, very soon.
She snuggled closer to him hoping to find comfort in his warmth. She knew what he was feeling; His lover was leaving him and their daughter, you don't need to be a genius to figure out what he feels.
"Naruto, take good care of her." she said with tears welling in her eyes as she was slowly emitting a soft but bright light.
"I will, I already feel that she'll grow up to be an amazing woman, one that we would be very proud of."
"I love you Naruto, don't ever forget that. I will always be watching over the two of you." She hugged him tightly, showing as much love as she could.
"Thank you, and I love you very much." he replied as he fought back his tears and hugged her closely not wanting to let her go.
And as his words ended, she was gone.
Naruto made his way towards his bedroom, where his daughter was currently sleeping. His eyes were a bit red from shedding tears but he was alright now. His eyes no longer held sorrow instead, they were determined, He was determined to protect his daughter, he would have her live a happy life and he would live on looking forward, the leaving of his lover not holding him back.
'I need to train.'
Chapter end
AN: Damn it i know it's bad, I'm not really good with drama, hope I get better in time. Chapter 3 will be out soon since I have almost finished, I'm just doing some final edits. Also, Nicole's age will be the same as Percy's. I also plan to give Nicole some big roles in the future, but Naruto will still be the main character.
