Hestia's House in Utah

Hestia's POV

Today I was spending the day with my ban of demigods. They have took the liberty of calling me Mommy. It was delightful and I always wanted demigod children but being a maiden goddess, I couldn't.

Right now Percy was chasing Jason and Thalia around the spacious living room. Percy was getting so excited that Jason and Thalia were dripping wet with the water he accidently summoned. That hardly mattered though since electricity was passing through both Jason and Thalia while unnatural wind currents blew them dry. I did determine that the electricity was Thalia's doing and the wind Jason's.

I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I didn't realize that the god of the underworld entered my home until my trio of demigods stopped and stared. I turned around and smiled warmly at my brother.

"What can I do for you Hades?" I asked sweetly despite already knowing what he wanted with Apollo's prediction and the fact he was holding a baby girl.

"Um… since you were taking care of Zeus' and Poseidon's children, I thought maybe you will be willing to watch my daughter." Hades shifted on his feet nervously. Understandable, his children are usually frowned upon and left out for being his. Before I could respond a trio of demigods spoke up after watching the exchange.

"Cool, I get another girl around here. She and me can finally beat the boys in a game." Thalia cheered.

"Another friend. Yes!" Jason started jumping around, pumping his fists in the air. He got a few good feet off the ground with the help of the powers he got from his father.

Percy remained calm and approach the god of the dead. An action that would made a demigod twenty years his senior quake in terror. Then he did something that came unexpected, with his big green innocent eyes he asked Hades, "Can I hold her?"

The reaction Hades had was priceless. He clearly was confused and out of his element. He wasn't used for demigods to automatically accept his children, and never had he had a child be so calm around him. Even his children have a small, almost nonexistent, sense of nervousness around him. He looked at me in confusion, his onyx eyes pleading for help.

"I am sorry Percy but you can't hold her. You are too young," I replied calmly yet sternly to the stubborn child.

"But please! I really want to." Percy was now in front of me pleading.

"No. You are too young and might drop her. You don't want to hurt her on accident. Do you?" I asked Percy knowing that he will back down after this argument.

"No." Percy sighed in defeat. "But can I at least see her?"

I looked and now saw that the daughter of Hades was, in fact, covered in a black wrap and was too high up in her father's arm for the young demigod to actually see her. Deciding that this was a good compromise, I went up to my brother and plucked his daughter out of his arms. From there I knelt down so the trio of half-bloods could see her. By now the children of Zeus had calmed down enough to realize what was happening. My children quickly gathered around me and started to coo at the little girl in my arms. Thalia was gushing on how cute she was, Jason was smiling at her letting her to hold onto his fingers, and Percy was making goofy faces at her. Upon seeing Percy, the babe in my arms started to giggle, her big golden eyes lighting up with laughter. I stole a glance at Hades and I saw something I hadn't seen in awhile. His eyes, despite naturally striking fear in mortals hearts, were gleaming with hope. He also adorn a small smile at his daughter being accepted in our band of misfits.

"What's her name? You haven't told us yet." I spoke up after gazing at my brothers' happy expression. He tried to suppress a smile but I saw through his wall void of emotion.

"Her name is Hazel Levesque."He replied curtly. "I must be leaving now. This is all the time Zeus has allowed me. Zeus has also granted her the same treatment of those three so I would be seeing you soon that is if you accept her."

Saying that sparked around of pleading from the demigod children around me. Smiling I already knew the answer. "Of coarse. I already been expecting her. Children why don't you go play the toys Lady Athena got you while I put Hazel down for her nap."

"Yes Mother." The older demigods chorused.

I started to head upstairs to the room I prepare for Hazel when Hades seemed to backtrack.

"What do you mean you expected her?" Hades followed me through the halls.

"Apollo predicted her birth. I knew I would have Zeus' and Poseidon's children by now so I knew you would come to me. But may I ask what happen to her mother?" I gazed down at the little baby nodding off in my arms. She was at least a few months old.

"I first met her mother when she summoned me. I think she was a descendant of Trivia. She summon me and I couldn't keep it in my pants. So she let me out and we conceive Hazel here. She summoned me early today once again. Then I saw that she mentally unstable. Poor Hazel was on the floor crying and her mother was just telling her to be quiet. Fortunately, she didn't summon me properly his time so I was able to break the circle without her permission. Doing this only enraged her and started yelling at me. I picked up Hazel and calmed her down and walked out of my lover's apartment. Now we are here."

"Oh, Hades I am so sorry." I whispered as I laid Hazel down in her crib, fast asleep. I turned to my younger brother to see him giving me a sad smile.

"I will be fine. As long as Hazel is okay then I will be okay. I think she will finally be one of my children that is excepted." Hades replied with a sense of hope in his voice. Something I haven't heard in centuries.

"Well, when you have three powerful demigods on your side then you have a tendency to have the upper hand." I reply with a chuckle and a small smile.

"Well yes, I suppose so. I must be off. I need to go check on her mother, make sure she is possessed or just went crazy. Take care of Hazel for me." Without waiting for a reply, Hades shadowtraveled out of the house.

"I will. Sleep well my little Hazelnut." I whispered to myself as I closed the door to the nursery and went to check on the hyper demigods running around my house.
