Emotions that she had never felt before came forth. Astraea took a breath and replied with a slight waver in her voice.
"Hello there. Are you Pathea Jones?" She nodded confusion written all over her face. "May we come in? I am positive that this is not a conversation for the hallway." Pathea again nodded and stepped aside to let the two girls in.
"Would you like anything to drink?"
"Water for the both of us please." Pathea nodded and walked to the kitchen.
"You guy could sit down in the living room."
"Alright." Astraea walked deeper into the apartment. It was simple and yet had an elegant taste.
"You have a lovely apartment." Pathea walked around the doorway and set the three drinks down on the table
"Thank you. Now, what do you two ladies need to talk to me about." Amanda shook her head and pointed at Astraea. "So just you miss…" Astraea took a sip of water and then replied,
"Astraea." Pathea looked shocked but quickly took control of her emotions.
"Ah. So why…?"
"My father told me that I would find my mother here." Pathea breath hitched.
"And who is your father?"
"Poseidon. He told me that my mother's name was Pathea Jones that she works as an FBI agent five blocks from the Empire State Building." After Astraea said that Pathea walked around the small table to the other couch and looked in Astraea's eyes. She must have seen something in there because she teared up and smiled really big.
"You really are my Star. My precious star."
"Mama." That was all that the two of them needed. Astraea stood up and wrapped her arms around her mother while her mother did the same. Tears were falling freely from the two of them and for once Astraea felt like she was home and safe.
