A/N: So when I wrote that Hephaestus remarried, it might make more sense if you read Come Back To Me Another Greek Fiction that I wrote. Hope you liked this one, it is kind of a filler and I apologize.

~Dark Kiss~ Xl

Persephone was with her Mother on Olympus. While Demeter was off with Hestia tending to the gardens, Persephone decided to stay back and enjoy her time in the courtyard by Hera and Zeus's castle.

Melione was with Hades down in the Underworld and she missed home more than ever. She was grateful that she was given time with her Mother, but as the years dragged on she slowly began to wonder if she would always have to leave both her Husband and her Mother, and now her daughter.

She understood their reasoning for having spent half her year with the other perfectly well. It did have it benefits, when she would get fed up with Hades she knew that she would always leave and have them settle things out for a couple of months, and then when she would return things would be better. She would never leave Hades though he loved her too much and she loved him just as more.

Same with her Mother.

It would always be hard for her to choose over them. There was her Mother, who raised her by herself and cherished her always. Though all pitied her motives for keeping her "locked up" from the world, Persephone understood why she did it.

Then there was Hades. Who loved her for centuries. Listened to her, treated her like a woman—and adult. Consulted to her and trusted her. He made he feel special and he would bring a smile on her lips.

She needed and wanted both.

Persephone sighed and began to look down at the mortals on Earth. There were many happy families like hers. But she was never around all the time with her family. Persephone got so caught up in watching the mortals that she didn't hear someone come up behind her.

"Persephone, good to see you." Said a voice from behind. Her gaze tore away from the mortals and they landed on the God behind her, Hephaestus. She smiled brightly and watched as he moved up to be closer to her.

"Hello Hephaestus." She said with a smile. She looked at him for a moment and then back the mortals.

She should feel provided. Her family loved her, her mother loved her, her husband and her daughter. Hephaestus on the other hand wasn't so lucky. Though his Mother loved him very much, Zeus however did not and as a reminder he was thrown off of Olympus. As a constant reminder he had the scar and the foot to prove it. His ex-wife Aphrodite did not love him, never did—and if she did, she had a funny way of showing it, by flaunting and having many lovers.

But he didn't complain.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked her after a while. Persephone pursed her lips and shrugged.

"Nothing really. I just like watching the mortals." She stated. He nodded.

"I know what you mean. I like coming here to clear my head and think, or if I have spent too much time in my workshop." He said. Persephone sighed and placed her chin in the palm of her hands kneeling down on her knees, her dressed flowed around her.

"Are you happy Hephaestus?" Persephone asked turning towards him and tilting her head in curiosity. He looked down at the mortals below and began to think.

He had found love and he married his her. His forges had been recognized greatly by others both Gods and mortals. His Mother loved him more than she ever had before.

"Yes I am happy. Why do you ask?" She sighed and pursed her lips furrowing her brow just the slightest.

"Because I don't know if I am or not. I mean I am—its just that I am missing so much right now all because of the pomegranate agreement." She said. "I miss my family back in the Underworld, more than I ever have." Hephaestus nodded understanding what she meant.

"Think how your Mother feels, all she's had is you for many years. You leaving her has been hard on ways you are slowly starting to realize."

"Yes, but she has to learn that I cant stay with her forever." She argued. Hephaestus rubbed his chin and looked at Persephone intently.

"Acceptance is hard for most people. Years can go by until they finally understand and think about what is really the right thing to do."

"What do you think is the right thing to do?" She asked him.

"… What you think is right may be different than what I think is right." He said, "I think that deep down, you know that this is the best thing for the three of you." He said.

"Now, If you'll excuse me Persephone, I'll be leaving now." He said. Persephone smiled and gave him a hug.

"Thank you. Tell her I said hello!"

"Alright I will.' He said.

"And Hephaestus," she added, he turned around, "I'm glad you're happy." He smiled.

"As am I. believe me when I tell you this, you are happy and you will always be. The fates have been kind to you." He said. "Best of luck." and then, he left.

The Fates have been kind to me so far She thought over and over.


Hades retired from his judging duties for the night. He was tired and so was Melione. Persephone had left to her Mother weeks ago, now it was jut him and Melione.

His beautiful baby Melione.

She was now around 6 months old sat on his bed. He lay on the pillows his one hand—or rather fingers were grasped by Melione how began to shake it from side to side like crazy. His other hand was on his chest.

"Ooooh!" Melione exclaimed. Hades smiled and turned to her.

"Are you shaking my hand now Mel? Are you saying hello?" he asked. She laughed and began to pull his fingers in her mouth.

"No Mel, don't put them in your mouth. Are you hungry again?" he asked. She looked at her father, her mouth open with drool escaping her mouth.

"Pppaaahpoo." She said, hades raised a brow.

"I have no idea what you just said." He said. "Are you tired yet Mel? Do you wan to sleep? Will you let me sleep?" he joked. Melione smiled and crawled her way to him, onto his chest. She smiled down at him and laughed which resulted in more drool escaping her mouth and dangle from her chin.

And the drool dropped on Hades's face. He didn't mind though, he was having fun with his daughter. He pulled her closer to him, kissing her cheek and tickling her neck and ears with his nose and facial hair. She soon lost conyrol of herself and lay on top of his chest laughing.

Once she calmed down slightly, moving backwards into her smiling stage once more she rolled off of her father and rested her body right beside him. She closed her eyes for a moment before opening them and then pushing her thumb inside her mouth sucking on it.

"I bet you're really missing Mum right now, I mean you're sucking your thumb." He said raising a brow. Melione yawned and snuggled up to her father, "you don't know what I mean do you?" he said. He heard so reply. Instead he wrapped his arm around his daughter pulling her under the sheets and closer to him.

We miss you Perce, more than you know he thought.
