As the months passed and Sabrina grew older, Ares became more and more involved in her life. By the first two months when Sabrina had turned one, Ares was bringing her to work with him. He would be carrying her while talking about battle plans with his generals. Some times he would even ask Sabrina for her opinion, of course she couldn't really talk, she would just move around the figures of the miniature battle field he had created. To his surprise Sabrina had given him some good battle ideas almost every time. Ares was very proud of his daughter, you could tell that he absolutely adored her. Even Xena, Gabrielle and Eve could see it in his eyes every time he held Sabrina in his arms.
Xena found her self thinking about Ares virtually everyday, but what was she supposed to do? Even though Gabrielle and Eve welcomed the idea of letting Ares be involved in Sabrina's life, they still didn't trust him. To them, every good thing he did was just part of his plan to get Xena back on the side of evil. But it was obvious to them that Ares did care about Xena, why else would he be going through all this trouble.
To hopefully get Gabrielle and Eve to believe that Ares' intentions are good, and therefore getting them to some what trust him. The Elements told Ares to simply try to explain to them how much he has changed.
It was close to mid night when Ares appeared before Gabrielle and Eve. By this time Xena was with Sabrina looking out at the lake. Gabrielle and Eve whom were by the fire, weren't too happy to see Ares.
"Sabrina's not here, she's with Xena by the lake" Gabrielle said.
"I know, I came here to see you two" Ares replied.
"About what?" Eve asked.
"Xena" Ares answered.
"What about my mother?" Eve asked.
"I know you both don't trust me, and I don't blame you for that, I know I deserve it. You think I'm up to my old ticks again, that I'm trying to get Xena to rule my army. But I'm not, I finally realized that the old Xena is not the Xena I fell in love with. I love her for who she is not what she was, and I would never change anything about her. I only hope that you both could give me a chance to show you how much I've changed" Ares said, with a sincere looking expression.
"You just did, the old Ares would never have poured his heart out like that " Gabrielle said, with a smile.
"So do you both now believe me?" Ares asked.
"Some what" Eve answered.
"Can you at least forgive me?" Ares asked.
"You maybe have done some terrible things in the past, but that was the past. And even though I could never forget those things, I can however forgive you" Gabrielle replied.
"So can I " Eve said.
"Really!" Ares said.
"Yeah, I never thought I would ever say this but maybe you being in Xena's life isn't such a bad thing after all" Gabrielle said.
"Thanks" Ares said, before disappearing.
