I neglected this story, I know, sue me. But I am back into it and updates will be a little more frequent as while Guardian Troubles will be serious most the time, this story is the complete apposite with being kinda silly. That is too be expected when dealing with a toddler Percy.

NYX POV

"SAVE ME, OH STYX, SAVE ME" I looked away from Shadow as Hades came bolting into my home through one of the living room window. He swung around, closed the poor window with so much force that the glass cracked, he then bolted to the door to lock it. Shadow giggled a little "Uncle Hades is weird." What to the mortals say, oh yes Amen to that. I wonder what has Hades so wound up to the point he needs saving.

Hades finally rushed up to me, he pointed his index finger at me just an inch from my nose, and roared "This is your fault, because you gave Persephone the idea, she's now Pregnant, and has become worse then Demeter". I swatted his finger away and gave him a look I hope said 'you are psycho'

Shadow crawled around from his toys to ask, "What's pregnant" oh dear, I do not want to have this discussion with him; he is way to young for this. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Hades get a very straight face but the movement of his shoulders revealed he was trying his best to not laugh at the moment. With all that is happening, I bet once again, no one will believe me about his reaction to what happens next.

Looking down at Shadow, I quickly went over the parenting books I had bought a week ago, because I was 2 weeks in with having Shadow around, and I wanted to raise him right so that he will be as noble as he was before. Finally I informed him "Pregnant is when a women is forming a baby" that simple and leaves out the gory details.

His mouth fell to a 'oh' face before bighting as he gave a toothy grin. He asked with bright eyes "Can I get pregnant?" Hades couldn't hold his laughter any longer; it came out as a scuff that became laughter. He had to hold his knees to prevent from falling over. I, on the other hand, was shocked into silence.

Heat rose to my face, as I splutter "No you cannot, Shadow" I knew I worded that wrong as a sniff came from him before he began to full blown cry "BUT I WANT TO GET PREGNANT, I WANT TO MAKE A BABY" Hade went from laughing slight to full blown on the floor laughter, it's weird to here the god laugh as few things are amusing to him in that way. He whizzed "where's a camera?"

"Right her, sir" I saw a Fury was at the other window in the living room, that happened to be open, she happen to have a camera. This was turning out badly, well badly for Shadow and I, as this video will go viral, and it will resurface when he is older.

Getting my attention back onto the Screaming toddler, I picked him up while informing "You can't, You're a man, and men don't get pregnant, they get women pregnant, and Pregnancy isn't fun at all, also you are way to young for any of this" He continued to sniffle slight, a little bit softer now that he understood the implications and requirements.

That's when he asked another question "When I get older, can I be changed into a Woman?" Ohh dear Styx, why me. In response to his question, I simple shook my head, making him frown deeply but luckily he didn't start to cry again. If he had started crying, I would not have a clue on how to get him to stop crying.

The fury over in the window looked over at something, she then squeaked "Persephone is coming down the path right now and she looks mad" great something else popped up. Looking at Hades, I saw the light color he had drift from his face. He spun around looking for somewhere to hide but it was too late. A bang came from my door, the wood around the lock creaked at the force.

This scared Shadow so much tears began to rush down his face. The door caved, splinters went everywhere as Persephone came waltzing in. One splinter hit shadow in the head causing a trickle of blood making him cry even louder. That's when I saw red as the mortals say, I was no longer thinking as I realized my baby was in pain.

When I was finally able think again, I noticed what I did while going into completely fight mode. Persephone was pined to the ground face first, my foot digging in the back of her neck. She whimpered "Please get off, I am sorry I hurt Percy, but if you aren't please don't dig your foot any deeper"

I slowly removed my foot letting Persephone get up, I noticed that there was a bruise growing on the back of her neck from my foot but I didn't seem to do anymore damage. Feeling the need, I apologized "sorry, I just lost it when I saw Percy, I mean Shadow" I could sense Shadow giving a child glare for calling him Percy. Continuing "I didn't really think or process what I was doing, so I don't know what exactly I did, but sorry"

Persephone got all the way to her feet, she light touch the back of her neck but recoiled at the pain from the gold bruise. Looking to me, she also apologized "Its alright, my fault for busting down your door before looking for a safer entrance, and scaring the living daylights out of Shadow, hehe that doesn't make sense with his name"

I punned in "Scaring the shadows out of Shadow" that got a good laugh from the springtime Goddess, as she moved over to where Shadow was 'hiding'. During the whole fight, maybe long or short, he had hid himself under the couch with only his feet in few as he neglected to draw them in.

Reaching down, I tickled his feet making him squeal and kick them back and fourth, finally he began to plead "Mommy stop, please" his voice had reach a new level with how high pitched it was.

I chuckled in an evil yet joking "I will only relinquish thy's feet, if you come out" It took him seconds to follow, as he crawled out backwards. The splinter on his forehead was gone, and I realized that the blood was so small; a paper cut could do better. Weird as when it happen I thought I saw so much more blood.

As I made a wet washcloth appear, and began to clean his forehead, he inquired "Why did you fight Auntie, I know she was being a meanie, but you attacked like she was a big meanie". I picked him up as I began to explain to him "Sorry about that but when I saw you get hurt, even with how little the injury was, combined with you crying, I simple snapped and just wanted the threat, which happened to be Persephone, to go away"

He gave a nod then began to settle down in my arms, laying his head on my shoulder. Before long, his breath evened out as he began to fall asleep. Persephone whispered "Guess it's his nap time" too much shock to the systems more like it but ehh.

Taking a glance around, I saw Hades must have escaped in the fray, well I thought that until he poked his head over the kitchen counter with a chuckle "thanks Nyx for the health reminder about Mama Bears" before I could even think of a response, Persephone had already launched herself over the counter, straddled Hades, and began to beat The poor God up.

Finally the question of the day "What did he do to deserve this, Persephone?" Hades backed up the question by asking though silent as to not wake Shadow "Yeah, what did I do, I was simple sleep when you attacked me.

This made Persephone stop, she dawned a confused face as she silently asked herself "what did he do?" I could feel my brow slowly rising as the reality of the situation hit. To explain this, I will try to simplify, I call it a short circuit. Goddesses unless they are of the battle variety don't like pain, at all, even a paper cut. To this knowledge, when they realize the pain of childbirth, violence towards Husbands is to be expected.

This seem to surface in Persephone mind as she got up with a nervous smile "Sorry" He just glared at her as he got up as well. He flung his arms into the air "Woman, really, Persephone you are so glad I can't hit you" with that he began to stalk off to the door in a traditional 'I am Hades' fashion.

I commented "Me and you are the only ones that know of how Hades truly is" she gave a nod while crossing her arms "yeah, My mom still swear to the heavens he is abuse, but with what we have just seen I am more abusive, didn't really mean to as I was so mad at him" This reminded of all the other times A Goddess that doesn't like pain then realized they had to go through childbirth, has done this like Aphrodite against Ares, which I luckily got to watch, then there is Hera against Zeus, I didn't get to watch that one but I hear that it was a hoot.

I walked down the hall so to put Shadow to bed as my arms can't be all that comfortable. The minute he was on the bed, he bundle his blanket's up into his arms. As I left his room, I heard Persephone think aloud "How to make it up to him?"

Knowing she was talking about Hades "If your talking about Hades, go to Victoria Secret, get a black lace outfit, and get somewhere where he wouldn't expect you and servants won't accidently wonder in" I knew I gave a good idea as she smirked widely at the thought.

She decided to inform me "I do have the Perfect spot, He has his own little garden at home, he thinks I don't know about it but I visited during spring this year and could sense the flowers growing, and I have been holding onto this little surprise outfit for a while so now I can use it"

wait a minute "That thing in The Northwest was your fault" what happened was that it was spring and the flowers had just bloomed in the Northwest of the United States, but suddenly there was a relapse of cold so it gave a good hit to crops. When I flew over an area that usually had Cherry blossoms galore around the time, no cherry blossoms.

Smiling slight, she decided it was high time to leave, so in a flash she was gone. This gave me time to look around my partly destroyed living room. Time to clean up.
