Diana POV
I yawned, fluttering my eyes open. I sighed, walking to the kids room and seeing them still asleep. I smiled, looking at each and everyone of their rooms.
Each of their rooms were decorated by each of their personalities. Hephaestus was cool, sporty with rappers heś been listening too and so was Poseidon but with normal songs as I like to call it. Now Hades. I swear he's a mini version of me. He has the emo version room. All dark with dark shows and dark music with other dark stuff. I mean wow. Now for aphrodite she ́s the girly girl. Her room all pink and white. CLothes, makeup, some posters of her favorite band and a lot of clothes,. Jesus that girl can have a lot of clothes. And lastly my geeky little Flora. She has posters of her favorite books and books of mathematics, science, english and history. She also has her own little lap that uncle gave her for christmas. Sometimes I wonder what she's trying to make.
I went down to the kitchen and saw Sebastian already almost finished with breakfast. I smiled, getting a cup and pouring kool aid in it.
̈ ̈Good morning Sebastian.¨
̈ ̈Good morning to you Diana.¨
He said. I sat down, still kinda tired.
̈ ̈The kids are still asleep?¨
He asked, placing the plates on the table. I started hearing footsteps come downstairs. I sighed, smiling.
̈ ̈Not anymore.¨
They sat down on the table, saying good morning and already eating. I sighed, smiling at them.
̈ ̈Hey. I have something to ask you.¨
I said, making them look up at me.
̈So I decided to meet your father personally up front and I was wondering if you didn't mind Sebastian taking care of you.¨
I said, to their shock.
̈Really mommy. You're gonna meet daddy.¨
Flora asked. I smiled.
̈Ya. I decided to stay with him for the night. Maybe for two days.¨
I said, a little nervous.
̈ ̈So you guys mind?¨
̈Nope. Not at all. Just behave and don ́t get into trouble.¨
Poseidon said. I giggled, kissing his head.
¨I won ́t.¨
I said and ate the bacon. Sebastian smirked at me. I glared at him. He chuckled and continued cooking for my uncle. I sighed, looking down at my plate.
After that I was packing, grabbing everything I needed. Toothbrush, clothes, soap, and other things that guys shouldn't know about. Then I got a call from Rose. I answered, putting my things down.
̈ ̈Hey. What ́s up?¨
I asked.
̈Are you busy tonight?¨
Rose asked. I smiled.
̈ ̈Actually yes. Um. I ́m actually going on a date.¨
I said, making her laugh.
¨You. On a date. Diana you're too complicated to be in a intimate relationship.¨
She said. I sighed.
¨I know but..this is 626 so I decided to hang around him and start to grow a good bonding relationship with him.¨
I said. Than Aphrodite came in, confusion was on her face.
̈Mom. Have you seen my hairbrush?¨
She asked. I grabbed the brush and gave it to her. She smiled.
̈Thanks.¨
She said and left.
̈Really. So it's a date?¨
¨I don't really want to see it as a date. I like to see it as a hang out. Because I mean he doesn't even know that i'm going.¨
I said, getting my blanket and pillow.
̈Well. You have fun. Okay and don't get too wild.¨
̈ ̈Shut up!¨
I said, embarrassed. She laughed. I giggled, hanging up and making shier I have everything for the few nights.
Soon uncle drove me to his job. I sighed, getting out and seeing him walk inside, making me follow him. He smiled at me.
̈ ̈He's waiting for you.¨
He said. I nodded.
̈ ̈These are my rules. I don't want you doing things that I don't like.¨
He said. I hummed, already walking away.
̈And make shier you eat whatever they give you!¨
̈Got it!¨
I yelled and walked over to the door that he was sleeping in. I breathed nervously but then I moved back.
What was I doing. I can't just go in there and just start making myself at home. This is nuts. Maybe I should go back home with the kids. But it was too late to turn back now. I sighed, hesitantly putting the password in and walking inside once the door opened.
I looked around, nervous. I sighed, holding what felt like a billion of stuff on me. Then I bumped into someone. I gasped, looking up and seeing him 626. He froze once he saw me.
̈Oh. Hi. Umm. I guess my uncle told you..the plan.¨
I said, nervously, pushing my things up. He smiled.
̈Uh. Ya. Ya. He said the kids were with Sebastian?¨
He asked, a little confused.
̈ ̈Oh ya. He's our butler. I asked if they wanted to come but they said they wanted us to be..well alone.¨
I said. He chuckled.
̈Right. Right. Oh! Let me help you.¨
He said, grabbing some of my bags. I sighed, feeling bad.
̈ ̈Oh no. You don't have to do that. I got it.¨
I said but he already took it. I sighed, following him wherever he was going. He grinned, showing me what it looked like..A MINI HOUSE.
̈ ̈Well you're uncle put that there once I was hatched. When I started learning how to go in my human form I decided to live there. Is it..okay?¨
He asked. I smiled.
¨It's perfect.¨
I said, walking inside with him, putting my things down in the living room, to my surprise. It had a kitchen, living room, photos, a tv. It looked like a regular home. I smiled, crossing my arms, looking at the chimney.
̈Wow. Must feel nice just having a place to yourself, not having anyone bother you.¨
I said. He smiled, jumping on the couch.
̈Ya. Sometimes I get relieved once the kids go with you. There exhausting sometimes.¨
He said, making me giggle. They can be hard but I guess that's the path to parenthood. I sat down with him and sighed, looking around.
̈ ̈So. What do you do when the kids are gone. I know I would go crazy if the kids weren't here with me.¨
I said. He chuckled, rubbing his neck.
̈Well. I like reading so most of the time. I read all day until I pass out. Almost all of my everyday life style unless it's my birthday. Which means I get to eat all the junk I want and not let the kids be the only one who eats all the candy.¨
He said, making my laugh.
̈Omg. You really do that to them?¨
I asked.
̈Well unless there sick or have a broken leg but other than that it's all mine.¨
He made me laugh even more.
̈Omg. That's horrible. I mean I spoil them like heck. Uncle James even spoils them more.¨
¨You need to discipline them more. They need to learn how to do things on their own.¨
I sighed, annoyed.
¨I know. I know.¨
He chuckled.
This was the very first time I ever felt comfortable with a guy..besides Alex. 626, It's like he gets me. Knows how I feel and knows already how I feel just by looking at me.
I gasped, rushing to the refrigerator and got out some ice cream.
̈Do you have movies.¨
I asked, throwing him a cup, seeing him catch it so easily.
¨I have a lot. So much that you need to take a break.¨
He said. I giggled, seeing the Nun. I gasped, excitedly, looking at him.
̈Have you seen this one.¨
I asked. He shook his head. I smirked.
̈Loser.¨
I said, making him chuckle.
̈ ̈Your the one who's human!¨
He said, I giggled, putting it on and jumping on the couch with him. He laughed, already eating his ice cream.
This was very odd for me..for me to already warm up to someone like this. I never warm up to someone so easily.
While we were watching the movie I never noticed that we were cuddled up together while wrapped around in a blanket. I wanted to move so I wouldn ́t disturb him but..his warmth made me feel safe..like there was no other girl in the world but me.
Once it was over we started talking about more about each other. Surprising we had a lot in common. He loved the same books as I did. The same music. The same movies. It was shocking how we had the same things in common.
I giggled, laying my head on his lap.
̈ ̈That is not true at all. Twilight was the best movie ever!¨
̈ ̈Not at all! It made no sense. She was already in love with the guy after they were together for weeks.¨
¨You don't ́t know that. It's like Romeo and Juliet. They fell in love when they first glanced at each other. It's like a spark between them. You know love means-."
"An intense...feeling of deep affection."
He cut me off. I smiled.
"Exactly."
I said. He smiled, staring at me. I stared back at him while smiling. Than I sat up immedaitly and looked at the time. I smiled at him.
"We better be going to sleep."
I whispered. He smiled, crossing his arms.
"Ya."
He whispered. I smiled at him.
I never felt this kind of connection with someone for a while. We soon went to our rooms, said good night and went to sleep. But then yesterday was even more fun.
The next day I woke up to the smell of bacon. I yawned, getting up and walking to the kitchen, seeing 626 cooking. He turned to me and smiled.
"Good morning sleepy head."
He said, making me smile. I walked over to him, smelling the bacon.
"Smells delicious."
I whispered. He chuckled and flipped it over. I took out the kool aid and drank some. He then started putting on some music and I immediately knew what it was. It was ain't no mountain high enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terral. He started singing with the lyrics. He wasn't that bad..but he wasn't that good either. He was pretty decent. I smiled and started singing with him. He smiled at me, singing with me. I giggled, dancing over to him while singing.
"Remember the day I set you free. I told you you could always count on me darling. From that day on, I made a vow, I'll be there when you want me, Some way, somehow"
I giggled, singing the rest with him.
We were outside. I was laying on top of him. We were talking about the world and what we thought about the human life that lives upon this earth. He's just so fascinating. I can't even think of a better man than him.
Soon after we were on a porch swing, not noticing we were cuddled up together but I did know that we were reading the same book that we both read a million times. He moved my hair away from my face and put it behind my ear. I smiled connecting my hands with his and kept reading.
Soon after that we even talked more about random things like how he loves hamburgers and how me and my friends met. He started getting all stern when he heard about Alex but I told him about what Gay means which made him a lot happier for some reason.
After all that we were eating dinner that we made for eachother. He smiled at me.
̈So is there anything else I need to know about the mother of my children.¨
He asked. I sighed, smiling at him until it dropped, he stared at me. I breathed, looking down at my food.
̈ ̈Well..I wasn't..wasn't such a goodie tooshoos back when I was little..after my mom and dad died..I changed..I..I started shutting out on people..started getting in trouble in school. I was just..a disappointment with myself.¨
I said. He stared at me. I shook my head, looking down at my steak.
̈Nevermind that. You didn't need to know that.¨
Once I said that he got up, grabbing my hand gently and walking outside. I giggled, looking around, seeing it all dark.
̈ ̈Where are we going?¨
I asked. He chuckled, clapping his hands, seeing the forest glow color like purple, blue and green. Fireflies came out of the grass and flew around, making me eyes so mesmerized by the beauty. He chuckled, putting on Clair de lune by Beethoven. I smiled at me. He walked over to me, holding my waist and holding my hand. I breathed nervously, looking down embarrassed.
¨I can ́t dance.¨
I whispered. He smiled, already dancing in slow motion.
̈ ̈Let me show you than.¨
He said. I followed his footsteps, trying to get it perfect so I wouldn't make a full of myself. He spun me around and pulled me towards his chest once again. I smiled, staring at him.
¨..You don't have to be scared anymore. Life is just a mystery that is waiting to be discovered. Truth is there is still more things the humans had not discovered yet. Life is the existence of an individual human being or animal. But what about the abnormal. Aren't we life beings too? We have feelings like them, We have senses like them. Even some of us can talk like them. There's a place where we can be ourselves, not be afraid of who we are, break the rules, get angry, have fun and it'll be ours and the kids for the taking ̈
I stared at him. I never realized he thought like how I thought. ABout our life and how I thought we could make it better.
̈Would you ever want that if you had the chance?¨
He asked. I smiled, almost feeling like I was going to cry.
̈Of course. For you..for me and the kids..show them a better life than this..somewhere safer..prettier and magical..just like this.¨
I whispered, making him smile down at me.
James POV
I stared at Diana and 626 while they were dancing. I stared at 626, confused.
Maybe I never made 626 like her at all..maybe..I made him like her father. I walked away, still thinking.
Strange. 626 only thought of humans as nothing more but just boring insects, as he says but now that Diana is in the picture..his whole opinion about the human life has changed..how..why..could it be love..no..it's something else..but what?
