AN: *peeks around corner* Hi. So sorry about not posting in a while! Also, yay! Summer break!
***Astrid's first birthday. Artemis's POV***
Astrid's first birthday. The party is in the meeting place, but it is going to be decorated. Ronin and I walk in with Astrid in my arm. She began walking and talking before she turned one. Some say she is a smart girl, others say she picks things up easily. Either way everyone has to watch what they say. I set Astrid down and she spots Ares and runs to him. It is one of her new favourite things to do. She also likes pulling on beards because she has no idea what they are.
Aphrodite picks her up before she reaches Ares and begins playing with her. Beside me Ronin laughs.
"Should have seen that coming. She never made it to Ares," Ronin laughs.
We sit down and the party begins. Games are played and the day goes on. Finally it is cake time. Ronin sets the cake in front of Astrid and she just stares at it. Then she looks at Ronin quizzically, not sure if she should touch it. At this awes could be heard. So Ronin shakes his head yes.
"It is okay, it is just food," Ronin says.
Astrid puts a little on her finger, watching Ronin the whole time, as it gets closer to her mouth. Then she sticks her finger in her mouth and her eyes open wide at the sweet taste. Suddenly she begins eating messily and even sticks some on Ronin's face wanting him to taste it. The room explodes in laughter. Then Ronin walks over to me and gets it all over me. After that a food fight begins. Cake flies everywhere and Astrid just laughs and squeals at the fun.
"I think our daughter has a dark side," Ronin says to me, while watching Astrid.
After the party ended they finally got everything and Astrid cleaned up.
