When everyone woke up they already saw Naruto who was smiling smugly and an irritated Hestia who was cooking.
They also clearly see a very distinct slap on his face.
"What did you do Nar" Athena was the first to ask.
Hearing Athena's question Hestia began grumbling under her breath which didn't go unnoticed by her sister.
"Stop asking and start eating!!!" Seeing Hestia looking a little irritated, all the goddesses around immediately shut up, they rarely see Hestia get mad. She has the patience of a saint and it's no surprise that when she gets mad even the king of gods would cower in fear.
After eating Hestia was still the one who did the dishes because she insisted.
"Annie, I have a work emergency so I will leave you with your mothers," Naruto said to her eldest daughter who was currently beside her mother reading a book.
" I know dad besides Mommy is here with us well be good girls"
" I know you'll be good girls' ' Naruto stopped and kissed Annabeth's forehead he did the same with Athena who was a little startled.
Naruto then walks into the playroom to see Aphrodite playing with Lacy and Demeter who seems to be sleeping on the couch.
"Dite I will be going to work" Aphrodite looked at Naruto and stand up she then immediately cupped his face and kissed him very passionately
"Can you not do it in front of me and the child here" Demeter commented lazily since she was not interested in it.
"Dad, I want some chocolates, buy me some, okay " Naruto picked Lacy up and kissed her cheek "I will buy you a lot of chocolates."
Naruto's last stop was in the kitchen with Tsuki getting lessons on how to bake.
"Arty I have an emergency at work I will leave first" Naruto then proceeds to kiss Tsuki and Artemis's foreheads while he cheekily took a peck on Hestia's lips.
Then he ran out of the house as fast as he could.
Hestia was fuming mad how could he!!! He already kissed me this morning!! that bastard.
"Damn Bastard!" Hestia kept mumbling while starting to bake faster, confusing her supposedly student.
"Mom I can't follow if you just kept baking and not explaining" Hestia was taken aback when she heard her daughter's troubled voice.
She smiled a little embarrassed and started to explain to Tsuki in a little more detail.
Athena and Annabeth started playing chess and you can already see Annabeth getting frustrated minutes had just passed and she already lost two times.
Her mother was just so good at defeating her!
"You should clear your mind, Annie, if you keep getting frustrated you won't be able to think straight" Hearing her mother's advice Annabeth quickly calmed herself and smiled.
"Mom, why is your family so special that you're not allowed to be with us?"
Athena smiled. She's been waiting for this time because she knows that her daughter has a lot of questions.
" My father created that rule and we really can't go against it" Athena was trying to divert Annabeth. She knew that she was too young for this and didn't want her to face the same fortune as Thalia Grace.
She wouldn't have to worry about it if her daughter was her daughter alone but she has Hera's blood now which was unexpected it can also be a blessing since Hera was a powerful goddess and she was sure that Hera's traits would rub her off sooner.
" I'm not gonna ask why your father created rules like that "
"Yeah, you really shouldn't, check by the way" Athena saw the shock on her daughter's face.
"What again!!" Athena laughed lightly. " It would take you thousands of years to defeat me" yeah Annie literally Thousand of years Athena thought while laughing at her daughter's face.
"I am not coming with you, thank you very much but I like laying here and doing nothing," Demeter said while trying to go back to the couch but Lacy and Aphrodite were pulling each of her hands./
"Come on Demeter, how can you say no to ice cream!"
"No means no Dite"
"Mommy Please " Lacy looked at her mother while flashing her infamous puppy dog eye.
Demeter groaned while Aphrodite and Lacy hit five.
"This is cheating!" Demeter protested she liked doing nothing.
Aphrodite shook her head and kissed Lacy's forehead "You had no choice, Demeter!"
With no choice, Demeter alongside Lacy and Aphrodite got ready to buy some ice cream!
" Where are you guys going?" Artemis asked, bumping into them after she got out of the kitchen.
"Buying some ice cream apparently" Demeter answered fanatically.
Artemis chirp up "Perfect timing can you buy me some of these ingredients for baking here's the paper, everything is written here"
"You are passing me the chores that Hestia wanted you to do," Demeter asked Artemis while the goddess just smiled at her sheepishly.
"I don't want to go outside, and since you are going you can kidly buy me some on the way," Artemis said politely, getting Demeter more irritated, do you think I like to go out! Thought Demeter as she just glared at Artemis.
Just a minute and so Aphrodite came downstairs with Lacy, they wore a very embarrassing matching not so cute dress from Demeter's perspective.
"You ready Demeter? '' Aphrodite asked the irritated goddess.
"Mommy stops pouting you'll look ugly," Lacy said while giggling at her mother's face.
Demeter shook her head and looked at Lacy seriously "That's not a pout deary it's called resting bitch face"
Lacy looked at Demeter with clear confusion and asked "Mom what is bitch?"
Lacy's question made the two goddesses beside Demeter gasp " Gosh Demeter look at what you did, Lacy darling don't say that word it's a very bad word"
Artemis on the other hand gasps once again "Wow just wow dite I didn't know, you knew what's the difference between good and bad words!" Artemis' innocent remark made the goddess of harvest laugh loudly.
"I didn't know you had this side of you Arty" Demeter looked at the embarrassed aphrodite and had started to once again laugh loudly.
Aphrodite just rolled her eyes "Yeah very funny!" Aphrodite then picked Lacy up and started walking out.
Shaking her head Demeter followed the mother and daughter duo with the list of what Hestia needed.
Hera was very grateful to Hephaestus because he finished the tool she and Athena asked quickly but something is off.
"I thought it was just me and Athena who placed orders, but why are you giving me six tools?"
Hephaestus grinned at her mother " Athena ordered six, mother"
Hearing Hephaestus reply Hera just nodded and took the tool that was shaped like a ring, why did he make it into a ring? I didn't tell him what shape it would be though.
Hera just shrugged and stopped thinking about it. She can go to Naruto's home today and see Annie since everything has been dealt with earlier than she expected.
She just needs to make one last stop.
"Apollo we need to talk" Hera saw Apollo getting startled by her sudden appearance.
That the stupid god of the sun began shaking his head in denial when I haven't even asked. "I swear I didn't see Pops"
"Okay maybe I saw him, but I can't tell you!!"
"Spare be okay, I'm innocent!!! Why do I always get in the middle of your fights!!"
Hera just looked at the rambling idiot in front of her with dead eyes, this idiot is digging his own grave.
"Shut up Apollo '' Hera saw Apollo immediately shut up, making her smirk a bit.
"I want you to swear on the river Styx that you won't tell anyone where I am, even Zeus, especially him, don't tell him!" Apollo just keeps nodding at Hera not sure why she's not getting mad about Zeus's recent cheating incident.
"W…Wha. What do I get in return?" Apollo asked carefully, not wanting to anger the woman.
Hera shifted in thinking position but soon snarled at Apollo " I will overlook the fact that you were visiting your demigod child"
Apollo immediately made a choking sound. He was in so much trouble so did what was right "I swear, I swear on the river Styx that I won't tell anyone not even Zeus where lady Hera is" they immediately heard a thunder rumble confirming Apollo's oath.
With a satisfied smile, Hera immediately leaves teleporting herself to Naruto's house where she sees a child's Argument as soon as she gets in.
"No!!! absolutely no Tsuki was not watching Hercules Disney was just making him look good!!!" Hera immediately heard Annie's voice making the woman smile yeah tell your sister!
"But it's a good movie," Tsuki whined at Annabeth while the other just glared at her sister, scaring her real good.
"It's not true!!! and we're not watching it!" Annabeth stood still while glaring at her sister, making Hera look at her proudly.
Deciding to let her presence known she laughed and said " That's right Hercules is a very bad movie!"
Hearing Hera's voice Annie immediately cut her glare off and looked in her mother's direction. "Mama" Annie runs off to hug Hera, taking the woman by surprise but still returns the hug.
Artemis, Athena and Hestia hearing Annabeth's shout walk out of the kitchen to see Hera.
"I thought it would still take you two more days," Hestia questioned her sister.
"it surprise me too but he make it easier for me to leave" Hera answered and then she looked at Athena "I have your orders "
"Let's talk in the kitchen" With a subtle nod Hera kissed Annabeth's forehead and patted her head "you go watch with Tsuki first!"
Hera followed the three goddesses to the kitchen, she saw Hestia passing her some cookies. She looked at her question.
"Tsuki made it, you should try some," Hestia said plainly while Artemis was beaming with pride.
Hera just rolled her eyes and laid the six rings on the table.
"Hephaestus made it like rings, and I didn't ask for it"
Athena just smiled in satisfaction "I asked him to make it like this" she then paused a little and looked at Hera " So you asked the same orders huh" making the queen of olympian good.
Athena looked at the grey ring in her hand and smiled, " I ordered it with specific colours too"
"So I would assume that this colour red is mine," Hestia asked while studying the ring that she picked. "What is the use of these rings?
"for concealing your presence, aura and powers apparently" Hera answered while looking at the rings. " Why do I get the colour white?"
Athena chuckled "Well first colour comes to my mind"
"Aphrodite would suit this colour much more"
"Well if you want you can switch with the colour pink" Tease Athena getting the two goddesses to chuckle.
Hera just groaned and rolled her eyes "Thank you, but no!"
All four goddesses ended up laughing at each other
Demeter was so frustrated, she felt like dealing with two kids, Aphrodite was indeed a kid herself.
Aphrodite didn't just bring them to the grocery; they even went to the playground after buying ice cream and the one that Hestia asked them to buy.
Aphrodite was currently playing swing with Lacy in the park near Naruto's home.
She was just looking at the mother, daughter duo while fanning herself a little. It was a very hot season folks. and eating some weath bars.
Aphrodite on the other hand was talking to Lacy while swinging.
"So Lacy is there any woman in your dad's life?" Aphrodite asked Lacy awkwardly, she didn't want to ask Naruto personally since she was not very loyal. She used men to try to forget Naruto because she thought being with him as a mere mortal was impossible. but now she found out that forgetting about him was impossible.
Lacy got into thinking and smiled "Aunt Iza has always been taking care of us, we grew up seeing her a lot"
Aphrodite scrunched her nose a little bit but quickly smiled and stopped the topic about their Auto Iza.
But that doesn't mean that Aphrodite would forget about her, she was jealous of that mortal woman firstly for being close to her Naruto, okay she sounded a little bit hypocrite when she herself cheated and slept with different men's over the year, but as a goddess of love she was foreign to what she felt about Naruto at that time, the love she received and felt over the millennium was entirely different level.
Naruto's love for her was pure and peaceful, it is without malice and thought, and the men she had over the millennia only want her for her beauty and the body comfort she can give them.
"Dite!!!!" Aphrodite was startled when she heard Demeter shout.
She looked at the woman in confusion and saw her daughter was out of the swing.
"What the hell's spacing out? " Demeter put a hand on her hip while looking at Aphrodite with a mix of confusion and frustration.
But the goddess just shakes her head and smiles " it's nothing, we should probably go home, don't you think?"
Demeter didn't also push further and took Lacy's hand guiding her to the car.
