Hades watched as Persephone set the jeweled flowers in the vase which was set upon a mahagony table in a chamber of the underworld which had been transformed into a nursery.

Persephone had the room divided into two sections with Bianca's side being painted a shade between dark pink and purple with white butterflies on them and a touch of a floral pattern while Nico's side was the colour of deep blue and purple with black crowns, swords and sceptre with a touch of elegant flowers adorned the walls.

Nico being 3 years old and Bianca being 5 they decided to have small beds made for the children that had canopies and beautiful silk curtains with soft fluffy pillows and stuff animals. Their was a book shelf and an armchair with beanbags.

If anyone from the outside world saw thisroom they would have thought a nursery from the royal family had been stolen and brought and setup in the room in their palace but of course, Hades and Persephone had ensured that none of the gods caught air of their purchase.

Hades had sent his furies to bring the things and had some ghosts possess mortals to get the items. Alecto had left 15 minutes ago to retrieve the children and was expected to return any minute.

Persephone turned and stared at Hades, he could see the anxiety, eagerness and excitement of his dear Queen and he too reflected those very emotions.

Hades was never a very good father and heknew it as the ancient laws stopped him from being their for his children but now he was going to raise children with Persephone. His beloved Persephone, to whom he had sworn his loyalty for his very existence. And don't get Hades started on how much he loved her! Not even the eternal abyss of Tartarus can hold the extent of his love, a love so strong that it would probably make Aphrodite the most powerful goddess in existence. Most of all, he knew Persephone felt the same way.

I'm nervous, my Lord" Persephone whispered which surprised Hades for some reason. He gave her generous yet affectionate smile and said "Persephone, my Queen, no need to be nervous. You will be a wonderful mother. I know this without a doubt that you are already a wonderful mother. Your mortal counterpart is infact a real evidence, is she not?"

He caressed her faceand smiled. She stared into his eyes as a small smile graced her features "I believe it is true" she gave a dry chuckle and embraced him.

They held each other, not wanting to let the other go. A slight cough caught their attention and they let go of the other but Hades kept his arm around Persephone's waist.

"My lord and lady,I have brought the children. They are asleep." Ale to said, her head bowed.

Persephone glidded forward and took Nico in her Ames with a smile and traced her finger against his soft chubby cheek.

Hades smiled and took Bianca in his arms with a soft smile. Persephone came to Hades side and smiled. The two of them took the children to their respective side of the room and lay them on the bed and smiled. They stood together and watched the children sleep.

This was one of those moments, the kind and queen of the underworld wished that they could freeze the moment their and watch the sweet children sleep.
