Chapter 2-Hera: New Definition of 'Rest'

HERA'S P.O.V.

I pushed the doorbell and it rang something like 'Jingle Bells'. Soon after, Hestia opened the door, Her hair was in a bun and it looks like she just went from doing something excessive work, seeing some beads of sweat cascading down in her forehead. She wiped it with the back of her hand and smiled at us.

"Hera, Right time you and the kids came. I'm just putting up the decorations for the Christmas tree" She said, We both hugged as a greeting. Then, I felt some cold arms wrap around my leg. I broke the hug to only see that it was Little Dionysus who was clutching the hem of my skirt. Hestia's eyes widened in glee and knelt down to level my youngest son.

"Oh, Is this Dionysus? He's so big now" She smiled and hugged Dionysus. It looks like Dionysus didn't remember who she is. He just stared at her, not hugging back. Kids tend to forget who their Aunts and Uncles were. It happened the same with Hermes and the others. Long ago, Athena even hid herself on my back, because she did not know that the person in front of her was her relatives.

"Dionysus, Give Hestia a kiss, She's your Aunt, Didn't you remember?" I asked, Placing my hand on his soft hair. He looked up to me with his violet eyes full of curiosity. He, then, obeyed me and hugged Hestia back, placing a peck on her cheeks. Hestia smiled and broke the hug. She welcomed us in her big house, We entered while the Kids one by one gave Hestia a kiss on the cheeks. It was a tradition of us, Our own way of greeting our other relatives. Even, When I came home from work, the moment I stepped inside the house the kids are always in line giving me a kiss.

The Kids fell into the couch, while placing their bags and luggage at some corner. They all groaned, Tired and exhausted from some 2-hour travel. Zeus was still outside getting some things that we brought. I sat at a single-seater couch and looked at them.

"Now, Boys, Help your father carry some of our things" I commanded, When I say boys, It means: Ares, Apollo and Hermes. Dionysus was excused, he was still too young for carrying luggage. The boys groaned muttering something like: "Kay, Mom". Then, they eventually stood up and went outside to help their father carry some things. Like, The Gifts, Shoes etc.

The boys went back with some bags and they placed it on the corner where the other bags were. Then, slumped into the couch. Zeus went to Hestia and embraced her like any siblings would do. He sat at the another single-seated couch beside me. I watch as the kids lazily slumped down their backs at the couch, feeling like this was their own house.

"Now, now, Kids, don't just slump in there. Get your things up to your respective rooms" I said, Shouts of protests came to me.

"C'mon Mom, 5 minutes?"-Artemis

"Mother, We just went to a 2-hour travel and you expect for us to carry these heavyweight bags upstairs? What are we 'Supernatural' beings?"-Athena

"Mom, Please let us rest for a few minutes?" -Hermes

I was about to stand up and scare the shit out of them so they will ran like cowards and get their luggage to their rooms but, Luckily for them, Their Aunt Hestia put a hand on my shoulder and stopped my plans on forcing them to go up.

"Nah, You can have rest first, You're all tired. I have some cookies at the kitchen" Hestia announced, The Kids quickly have an energy. Dionysus and Hermes ran to the kitchen while the Twins raced each other to the kitchen. Athena, Ares and Hephaestus just silently walked to the Dining Hall.

I sighed as I observe Hestia's mansion. This is only Two floors but it does have a very big attic, As big as the two first floors. At the first floor, You can find everything here. The Dining Hall, Kitchen, Living Room with the Fireplace, Etc..But there are Four rooms here. The 1st room is for Hestia, Her own room. But once, Demeter and her daughter came they will share a room. The second room was meant for Hades and Maria. Every couple has their own private room. Which means the third room was meant for Poseidon and Sally while the last and fourth room was meant for Me and Zeus.

Speaking of Zeus, I was shocked when suddenly a handkerchief was placed on my eyes to blindfold it. I was about to scream and yank off who the hell is this 'abductor' but as my abductor covered my mouth and whispered into my ear, I would always let myself be captive in his arms.

"Who do you think I am?" He whispered seductively, His warm breath tickling down my ear.

"An abductor" I played, When he and I are alone, We are like children. Playing our own different kind of games. Lost in our playground.

His hands trailed to my shoulders to my hands. I shuddered in his arms. He rest his chin on top of my right shoulder.

"You're wearing a skirt" He said, I smiled. For my age, I was still a slender and sexy woman. I was doing my own diet and exercise so my husband will not leave me for any other girl and thank God, After many years he was still so loyal to me. I rarely wear a skirt when going outside, usually when I go to malls, I rather wore a jeans than a skirt and have some dirty men looking at my legs.

But since, today we are just on the van for whole two hours. So, I did not wore jeans. I don't know what has gotten into me and the next thing I knew I was wearing a skirt.

"So what are you gonna do with it?" I asked, turning my face to him. I can't see him because of the blindfold but since he laid his chin on my right shoulder, I knew where he was.

"You're stunning with it but I think you will look more beautiful if the skirt fell" He said and kissed my cheeks. I knew where this was leading.

"I'm tired, I wanna rest" I pouted, I heard him chuckle.

"Then, Let's rest" He said and held my hand to stand up. He started guiding me to our room. To the fourth room. As we were walking I tried to visualize the house again.

The Second floor is where the Young Adults are. Ares and Athena share a room, The two are close, since the accident. Ares stood like a protector of Athena, like a knight who will always protect her. Triton, Poseidon's first don share a room with Hephaestus. They seem to get along. We just can't have Ares and Hephaestus at one room. They have a problem. The last room was for Macaria and Melinoe, Those daughters of Hades. The Second floor also have an entertainment hall for the kids. It has a lot of game consoles, Wii, Xbox, Ps3, You name it.

In the attic that's where the children are. It's just one big spacious area with a lot of beds. Two queen sized beds and A King-sized bed. The Queen size was for Artemis and Apollo, And Bianca and Nico. The King sized bed was accommodated by Percy, Dionysus and Hermes.

Zeus opened the door to our room, I imagined the last time I saw it. Queen Sized bed with grey and white sheets. A lamp at the sidetable. And a private Bathroom. Every 'couple' room has a private bathroom while on there are one bathroom at the second floor, the same with the attic.

I knew things will get rougher. He pinned me to the bed and I clutched the sheets of this bed. He kissed me passionately and I, of course, responded with the same fervor level. I gripped his grey hair and deepened the kiss as he starts roaming on the other parts of my body.

He wants to rest huh?

Well, The clothes have gotten off, There's now way to go back into reality.

We all know what happened next between Zeus and Hera. Okay so that's all-

Okay, Guys, sorry for them suddenly appearing. Don't worry I'll try to keep them outside next time. Though, they might just randomly appear. And in behalf of them, I clearly say sorry.
