Aphrodite had dreaded this moment. She had disobeyed her father but it wasn't the first time and certainly wouldn't be the last. Her father loved her and she could manipulate him when she needed to do so. If only he had listened to her in the first place, yes, it was his fault because he had said no.
She entered his presence ready for his wrath. She lowered her head as soon as she saw him. Raising his head, "look at me," he commanded her. She simply raised her head and their eyes met. He could see tears already forming in her eyes. He paused. Inwardly, she knew that she had him. The tears had captured his heart now she had to move cautiously.
"Why did you disobey me?"
"Father, I've never seen or met anyone like Will. Father I fell in love," Aphrodite let more tears stream down her face.
"I wanted you to stay away from him because I didn't want to see you hurt. I told you that he belongs to another."
"I know father but it's not often that I find someone for me. He's everything I want father. I have eyes for only him."
Zeus knew he was trapped. He owed it to this man and his family to return him to where he belonged. He had promised Will's wife that he would be returned shortly. BUT this was his daughter; she had loves before but had never gone to such lengths to get a man.
"You will grow tired of him quickly my child and he will grow old and die while you are still young."
"But father some how some way, I must make him mine."
Zeus knew now there was no stopping her. "I am going to return him to his family Aphrodite and you will leave them alone." His tone was that of a command not a request.
"But father, I want him. I want him for my husband and for the father of my children."
"You will find others," Zeus said hoping to dissuade her. "You can find another, maybe even an immortal to father your children."
"No, father. I will only have him," she turned away from Zeus, "beside dear father it may already be too late," she said rubbing her belly. She left Zeus wondering what way he would choose. Would he return Will or give him to his beautiful daughter.
