Persephone along with her personal maid and also closest friend in the Underworld went to check upon the sleeping children. They hastened their steps when they heard a sound of crying, Persephone burst through the door and went to a crying Nico's side who was being comforted by Bianca.
She picked up the little child and ruffled his hair and whispered "It's okay, it's alright baby. Nothing's going to hurt you. Everything is alright."
Slowly, Nico calmed down and sniffled as he stared at Persephone with his big dark eyes, his rosy cheeks stained with tears and gave a sweet smile and kissed his forehead.
Bianca stared intently at Persephone until she sat down the bed next to Bianca. Cara, her personal handmaiden stood there, smiling. Persephone held her arm you to Bianca who stared at her and crawled into her arms.
The queen of the underworld exchanged a smile with her handmaiden and stared at the children. "Nico, why were you crying? Hmm?" Persephone asked gently.
Nico swallowed and said "I got scared, s-scary dream. B-building e-expowded"
The queen of the underworld frowned, knowing what he had seen but shook her head and turned Nico to look at her and smiled "You don't have to worry about anything, alright? I'll protect, you're safe now. Mommy is going to keep you safe"
Nico smiled whilst Bianca stared at Persephone and hugged her. Bianca's little tummy rumbled and she blushed as Mother and son laughed. "Someone is hungry" Persephone said, poking her stomach making Bianca giggle and Nico laughed at his sisters predicament. Persephone glanced at Nico and smirked as she grabbed Nico and began to tickle him. The little siblings burst into a fit of laughter until tears streamed down their cheeks.
Cara laughed at the mother-children bonding. She was so happy that her mistress was filled with joy and she knew it to as the plants in the vase began to grow and flower popped around the bed. "I'll go and set there bath" though she doubted that her mistress heard her, courtsied and left.
"What's all the laughing?" a voice at the door said, as Hades, ruler of the underworld entered the chamber. His arms crossed against his chest and smiled at the sight of his wife and children laughing. He crossed the room and went over to the children and bent over Persephone and whispered "Enjoying ourselves, are we?"
Persephone yelped in startle as Hades laughed when the children attacked Persephone and a new wave of laughter exploded from them. Hades chuckled shaking his head grabbed the children from the waist and picked them up? They squealed in surprise and laughed, Persephone sat up and grinned.
She took one Bianca in her arms and kissed her forehead. She exchanged a look with her husband and grinned. She mouthed 'Thank you' but Hades shook his head. Theya exchanged a light kiss and were about to resume their game when a voice cleared her throat.
Cara blushed when the royalty of the underworld stared at her. "My Lord and Lady, the bath is ready"
Hades nodded and Persephone smiled "Come, it's bath time"
Onething was certain it was going to be one hell of a bath time...
