Hey what's up everyone? Hope all is well with you guys. Here's another chapter for you. Hope you like. There's a little bit more romance in this one, so yeah. Nothing smutty, just fluffy and a little angsty.

Meanwhile, Lena was back at the apartment not doing anything in particular, just sitting there, thinking of the past. She was worried about David. He was her only child, so it was natural of her to worry. Someone else came to mind when she thought of David…his father, Thoth. She tried hard not to think of him, but David looked exactly like him. The same black hair and dark brown eyes, the same nice tan…the same everything, just younger. Her eyes began to moisten thinking of Thoth. All those times he had told her he loved her, how much he cared, how he always would be there for her, it didn't seem to matter. It shouldn't have mattered, but it did. It did and it hurt.

Her thoughts were disrupted when she felt someone else sit down on the couch by her feet. Lena immediately shot up.

"David?" she asked.

"No…but close enough".

Lena looked and there he was. Thoth, the god's scribe, right there sitting next to her. Lena's tears returned, but these were tears of anger and slight hatred.

"YOU BASTARD!" she screamed at him, "GET OUT! JUST GET OUT!".

Thoth hadn't changed. He still had his black hair and brown eyes that could see into the hearts of all men. He was dressed in a nice black suit with a charming hat on his head, which he presently took off and set on the coffee table. She could see him perfectly, even if it was a little dark. His tan hadn't faded either…

Thoth grabbed her wrists gently, careful not to hurt her. He had no wish to cause her any more pain. He'd done that enough.

"Lena…my sweet Lena-".

"I'm not yours anymore in case you forgot!".

"Lena…you'll always be mine. We're a part of each other…in case you also forgot".

She pulled her arms out of his grip. "I don't want anything to do with you!".

"We both know that's a lie".

"You son of a bitch! Stay out of my life! Better yet…stay away from my son!".

Thoth sighed. "He's every bit mine as he is yours. I love him no less".

"You lie…".

Thoth sighed again. "Lena…please don't fight with me. Talk to me. I came back for you and for David. I have no desire to fight with you. I'd rather reason".

"Like you gave any when you left".

The god of writing looked like he had been hit in the gut. His heart twisted with guilt. He loved her then, he still did. It was true he left her without proper reasoning, but it was for hers and David's own good. Ra couldn't find them if he wasn't with them. He thought his feelings for her would've died away, but no. They were still there, deep seated forever in his heart.

"I had my reasons for leaving".

"Oh really? What were those?"

"I had to because Ra would've found you and David. He hates Half Bloods".

"It's a little late for that, David now knows what he is".

"As it is his right to know".

"Well I'll have you know he hates you".

Thoth looked even worse then. He spoke in a low tone.

"You turned my own son against me?".

"I had to".

"Why? You didn't even know why I left! I did it for you and for him! Do you not realize what all I've done for you and for him? I have lied for both of you. I put my life on the line for both of you every single day since I left!"

"You can't die!"

"No…but I can get my immortality stripped and then what? I'd be able to and Ra would be more than glad to do so now".

"Then maybe you should get it stripped so that maybe you'll know what it's like to be just like everyone else!".

"You'd have the father of your son die to get vengeance for something that wasn't even meant as a bad thing?"

"You're just his father. You had nothing to do with him growing up".

"And you think I enjoyed it, Lena? You think I liked being forced away from my, OUR son? I hated it, Lena…I wanted a family, Lena, with you because I love you damn it! I still do! I always have!"

Lena couldn't think of anything to say to that. When she said nothing, Thoth took her small hand in his large one.

"I'm really sorry Lena. Maybe I shouldn't have come back" Thoth's eyes betrayed him. Tears stung at his eyes as his heart seemed to break. He released and got up to walk away.

Lena thought for a moment. She remembered those days with him. She remembered how smart, fun, and loving he was. She remembered those nights where she felt nothing but love for him and nothing else mattered. All her problems melted away when she was with him. Her heart spoke before her mind could think and something in her snapped. He was leaving again. She couldn't have that. She didn't want to be alone anymore.

"Thoth…don't leave. Please….I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that".

They were the words that Thoth had always wanted to hear from Lena: Don't Leave. The writing god turned around and faced her again, a small smile that was etched on his face and in his heart. He took her hand again and kissed it gently, like he had all those years ago.

Oh how he had missed her! He missed being able to be himself around her. He loved everything about her, and no one else ever made him feel the way she did. Even know his heart pounded with love for her. He let her hand go again.

"I won't leave….but only if you don't want me to" he told her.

Lena embraced him. "Never…please, never again Thoth. I love you too much and David needs you".

"I know…and I'm here now for my family. I'm not going anywhere" he kissed her lightly and held her close on the couch. From this point on, they were in this together.

I absolutely love Thoth. I always have, and I always will. Long live the god of writing! Anyway, had a moment, so yeah, um…I'm not sure what else is gonna happen with this. I just got a new laptop and I might continue this on that, if I can get the rest of this story on a jump drive 'cause I really don't like working on the same story but on different computers. That bugs the crap out of me! So I'm not sure when the next update will be. Talk to you guys later.
