Athena and Naruto was currently at the grocery store buying foods, because they might not need it as a goddesses but Naruto and the children do, also the kids wanted a Donuts and chocolate so they to have to buy some.
"Thena I don't think we should be buying this much of a snack for the kids "
Naruto was currently looking at the pile of different kind of snack that Athena wanted to buy for the kids.
" It's fine Naru and besides, even if we bought all of this aunt Hestia will be monitoring the kids junk food intake " Athena replied nonchalantly while pushing to the cart to the next aile of junk foods and snacks
Naruto just sigh in defeat because he trust Hestia when it comes to food and the kids health.
After a while, they were finally in check out Athena didn't Want to wait in line so she went to the car first while Naruto paid for the grocery and put it inside the car, after putting everything he went inside and saw Athena reading some of her paperworks.
" U ready Thena"
"Yes lets go home I miss the kids "
Naruto just smiled at Athena and kiss her cheeks.
"what was that for?" Athena asked while raising her eyebrows but you can distinctly see the smile on her face.
"That's for being cute Athena "
"You're such a sweet talker Naru, Let's go home already "
Naruto just laughed at Athena's response, because Athena may seem cold and distant but out of all the three goddesses he personally knew she was the most soft hearted and observant.
The drive home was full of laughter, Athena miss this, she miss Naruto and everything about him, she didn't think it would still be possible to ever be with him, up until this crazy incident that happen, she didn't know what the fate have stored for them, but for now she will enjoy this short lived bonding she can have with Naruto and her children
Hestia was observing everyone in the living room, everyone just seem so happy, Artemis was laughing because Tsuki was roasting Apollo well he deserve that he's so full of himself, while Aphrodite was designing some chlotes with Lacy and the little girl would sometimes ask her other mother Demeter for suggestions, also Lacy was the only who can disturb Demeter with her television, lastly we have Hera who was usually so stoic and angry, but with now she was full of smiles and was always calm the only thing that was constant to her was her sassy attitude that I think Annabeth was starting to adapt.
With a smile of her own Hestia went back to the kitchen while silently thanking Naruto for existing becauseshe knew without Naruto none of this would be happening right now and she wouldn't have Tsuki in her life.
--
After finally arriving to their house Athena told Naruto that she will be going inside first.
When Athena got inside she was surprised to see their guest, the first one she saw was the idiotic twin of Artemis who was laughing loudly with Tsuki and Lacy, next was the girl observing at the distance who she knew was Zoe Nightshade.
Athena made her presence know by calling Annabeth a little bit loudly.
"Annie sweetie" called Athena which immediately got her daughters attention.
Annabeth who was just happy to see her mother tackled her into a hug.
"I miss you mom"
"Miss you to sweetie" Athena then ruffled Annabeth's hair earning a pout from the little girl.
"You're here where's Naruto" Asked Aphrodite
Athena went to sit beside Hera before giving Aphrodite and answer " He's just parking the car"
As if what's Athena had just said was the cue Naruto entered the house with his hand full of grocery's, his precense quickly captured the eyes of everyone around except Demeter who doesn't care at all.
Naruto who just entered the house just lokked at everyone and smiled, of course he noticed the new comer but she was sure that one of the goddesses around had a reasonable explanation for the visitors.
"I'll just put this grocery in the kitchen kids, and I'll give you my famous hug and kisses "
What Naruto had just said was quickly met with a series of "yey" from his daughters who was used on hugging their father the moment he got home
Naruto immediately went to the kitchen and saw Hestia looking at the pot with a frown, he put every grocery bag to the kitchen counter top and went straight to Hestia, he wrapped his arm around her waist and felt Hestia flinched a bit, she then turn her head to see who hugged her from the back.
"Naruto let go" said Hestia while looking at Naruto annoyingly
Naruto on the other hand, just smiled at the said goddesses and tilt his head a bit to capture Hestia's lips, everything about Hestia was making Naruto crawl into her, he was trying so hard to stop kissing this virgin goddess but everytime he sees her, Naruto's first instinct was to put his lips on her, her aura her smile her kindness it was driving him wild he wants her.
The kiss ended and both of them was now gaping for air, Naruto's other hand was dangerously close to Hestia's bossom and seeing this the goddess quickly took Naruo's hand to stop it from ever getting any closer.
Naruto nuzzled his head on Hestia's neck while she was trying to distract herself from the fact that Naruto had kissed her again and was still holding her.
"Why are you frowning earlier " Naruto asked while Hestia just sigh to keep her self calm.
she was begging inside her head for Naruto to stop acting normal because its making her heart go wild.
" It was nothing the soup was just taking its sweet time from boiling "
"Hmmm" Naruto was now planting kisses on Hestia's neck the goddess quickly put a stop to it she block his lips using her palm and pushed his face away from her neck.
"Naruto stop and go to the kids, I need to prepare for dinner, you're distracting me "
With his signature smile thats making Hestia's knees go jelly "Well at least I'm a handsome distraction"
"You're not, go" Hestia said while pointing to the door of the kitchen, Naruto pouted at Hestia but followed her order anyway.
After Naruto went out of the kitchen Hestia's first instinct was to lean to the side of the kitchen while one of her hands was placed in her heart that was still beating loudly, she never experienced anything like this before and she didn't know what to do, she couldn't talk to any of them yet, and she couldn't accept Naruto's advances because he has to settle hi business with the first three goddess in his life and she was sure why those three fell in love with him.
After the little indicent in the kitchen, Naruto then went to the living room where everyone else was sitting, he then went to Aphrodite and kiss her cheek but the goddes turned her face so she could kiss Naruto's lips and smiled at him smugly, after Aphrodite Naruto then went to kiss Artemis cheeks which cause a surprised reaction from both of their guest, he then went to kiss Demeter briefly who just rolled her eyes at him and Hera who graciously accepted the kiss on her cheek, Naruto swear that just this morning this woman seemed confused about it.
Naruto the proceed to kiss and hug his daughters, "How was you're day my baby girls"
Lacy immediately raised her hand " Ohh me first dad"
"Okay what is it baby"
"So today I was dressed like a princess and you know what dad, everyone loves me for it, everyone keep telling me I'm pretty, I mean I know I'm pretty, but it's so good to hear it for everyone"
"Aww we know our pretty baby will always shine" Naruto replied while smooching Lacy into a hug " What about you, Annie and Tsuki how was you're day"
"Mine was just the usual dad, the lectures pretty boring and that's it" Tsuki replied to her father very boredly, because she is bored and nothing special really happened to her school days, she also doesn't have that much friend since kids her age find her difficult to deal with, she wasn't super smart like Annabeth but she was still a bit opinionated and had a very stubborn personality, it's a middle child thing.
Naruto who was used to Tsuki's attitude just ruffled her hair " Proud at you for managing to stay awake at your classes kiddo" Naruto's response just made Tsuki grinned.
"Annie what about you?"
"Well, while manage not to fall asleep at her classes, Pecry did and I'm top of my class of course " Annabeth was crossing forth of her arms into her chest with a proud look knowing she was a top of her class, of course Hera and Athena were proud to it was reflected in their expression.
Naruto also smiled at his first born child " I'm always proud of you Annie " before they could continue their discussions, Hestia went out of the kitchen crossed arm frowning which made all for them shut up.
"Dinner is ready, everyone wash your hand before sitting at the table," after dropping her bomb of a speech Hestia went back to the kitchen to serve the food and everyone was now looking at Naruto once again.
Demeter who knew Naruto was the only one who can annoy Hestia at that level asked "Okay,Naruto seriously what did you do this time"
While Naruto just smiled at Demeter sheepishly, and by that smile Demeter and Hera knew exactly what he did.
Aphrodite on the other hand just shrug her head "Let's go wash our hands kids" she said while pushing the kids into the kitchen.
When the kids were out of sight Naruto looked at the goddesses in front of him "I'm sure one of you will tell who and why we have visitors today"
Hera was the first one to explaine her self since she was the one who invited Apollo " He's Artemis twin the one and only Apollo" Hera cut her sentence shot to look at Naruto's reaction, he has a raised eyebrow and his reaction was basically telling her to continue. " I asked for his help and I'm going to discuss it to everyone after dinner"
Naruto just nodded at Hera and looked at Artemis " You already knew who Zoe is and I'm also gonna discuss it after dinner "
Naruto then looked at his guest "I'm going to formally introduce myself , I'm Naruto Namikaze, I own this house if you're gonna be staying here which my gut feeling was telling me the two of you were probably going to, I have rules and you're gonna follow them, and let's go to the kitchen"
Annabeth was confused, as far as she rememberd their kitchen wasn't this big and by looking at their sitting arrangement the table has been enlarge too, Her father ofcouse was sitting in the middle on his right was mom Hestia and the Tsuki and mom Artemis, then Zoe, and mom Demeter. on dad's left was my mom Athena, Me and mom Hera, then Lacy and Mom Aphrodite then our Uncle Apollo.
Noticing Annabeth's confusion Naruto asked "What's troubling you Annie?"
Annabeth looked at her father in surprise she thought that her stoic expression was perfect she didn't expect that her father caught on her expression.
"Annie your thoughts are all over in you're face your stoic expression won't fool me and I raised you I know you"
Annabeth blush in embarrassment she didn't expect that her expression was all over on her face.
" I'm just curious dad,"
"About the kitchen?"
Annabeth nodded her head in embarrassment
"Don't worry about it Annie, Aren't you happy that our kitchen got a bit bigger, everyone can now fit in and eat with us"
Naruto said trying let her smart daughter accept his reasonings that won't satisfy her , but she nodded anyway,
The dinner has been lively Apollo kept teasing Tsuki and Artemis with the added effort of the mother daughter duo of Aphrodite and Lacy, that's why by the end of dinnir Tsuki and Artemis was already planning on their grand revenge plan for this nonstop teasing, On the other hand Annabeth was talking to Athena and Hera about the book she was reading which was just Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen but overall it was a fun dinner .
"Okay kids chop chop go wash up and we're going to follow you in a while the adults have something important to discuss okay"
After hearing what their father had just said the three of them immediately went upstaires to give every adult their needed privacy even though Annabeth was curious about what they were going to talk about.
Their little meeting was happening in the living room since it's more comfortable
"Soo I'll go first" Hera said while looking at everyone " I'm the one who asked Apollo to go here and before anyone interrupt me, I'm going to explain everything in one go. So he's a useful tool, no offense Apollo but you are for me, I ask him not to tell Zeus where I am and also he's good for helping us conceal everything so the kids and Naruto won't be discovered, hell also be the one to help us fulfill our godly duties he's basically our slave for the time being.
Apollo looked so dramatic mocking a fake hurt just to prove a point " I'm offended by that, and I'm also doing this because my dear little sister suddenly had a daughter" Artemis just rolled her eyes at Apollo and muttered "I'm older"
" If he can help with the safety of the kids then I have no problem" said ANruto and everyone else just nodded in agreement but Athena on the other hand.
"How can we make sure he's going to be loyal"
"Huge dirt on him and I'm using Artemis as a leverage, "
Artemis this time looked Hera in confusion, and the older goddess just looked at her in bewilderment "Seriously Artemis?" but the confused looked at Artemis face says everything.
"Apollo will literary die on spot if you said you will never talk to him again Artemis "
Artemis then looked at Apollo cutely in surprise "You will?"
"yeah, yeah so what?"
"And back to my story if, we ever got discovered because of Apollo I'm sure Artemis will be so mad to the point she won't ever talk to Apollo ever so that's why Artemis is our leverage" Hera said proudly , of course she was proud of her plan duh.
Demeter on the other hand was bored and she knows she also has a leverage if they were ever discovered, after Hades kidnapped her daughter she and Zeus has a agreement that he can grant her any favor Any wish and she has Nyx and their mother as her backer if he didn't follow through their agreement he will be facing Nyx and tartarus itself, she can use that agreement to make sure that Zeus would not kill or do any harm to Naruto and his children.
"What about you Artemis, " Hestia asked since she was also a bit tired and wanted to rest.
With a smile Artemis looked at Naruto with her famous I'm cute and about to convince you look "So I thought Zoe can stay here with us and be enrolled at the same school as the kids and Zoe can also act as their protector while they were on school,"
With a sigh Naruto nodded in agreement and looked at Artemis " Okay fine, Zoe can use the last room as her own, and you can enroll her tomorrow if you want "
Artemis pouted a little because she has something to do tomorrow but then remembering Hera she looked at the woman who rolled her eyes "Fine Artemis I'll enroll you're little hunter to the school "
"Go to you're room Zoe, we still have something to talk about " Artemis said after she gave Zoe the directions to her room.
Apollo had already bid his goodbye because he said he's nightlife needed him
"It's time to pick Naruto" Aphrodite said while looking at him seductively.
This time Artemis and Athena was in the edge waiting for Naruto to pick the name, Naruto gave the paper to Aphrodite who opened it to see who's name was it but to everyone's confusion Aphrodite just laugh loudly.
"Well would you look at that the fate has its favorite"
Aphrodite then passed the letter to the bore demeter who was now dumbfounded
"Hell no!!!!, I ain't sleeping with Naruto in the Same room" Demeter yelled at them, Aphrodite was still laughing at Demeter's situation and everyone was amused except from Athena.
"Sister It would be unfair if you didn't sleep with Naruto" Hestia's remark made Hera and Aphrodite laugh louder because that's almost the exact same line she said to Hestia when she was picked.
OMAKE
