"Alright Hestia it's ti we had a talk" I said going downstairs after we arrived back at the church, and I saw the diminutive goddess face pale.
We sat down next to each other on the couch and for a mont we were quiet as I organized my thoughts. "I'm sorry for not telling you..." Hestia whispered refusing to et my eyes.
I couldn't help but groan as I ran my hands over my face and replied. "Look honestly as much as I love the idea of having a child and I know almost any goddess would leap at the chance. But not even consulting ?" I shook my head. "You really hurt my trust, Hestia."
"But I saw the way you looked at her!" She cried as tears started to fall from her face.
I was stunned for a mont and my imdiate answer was to shoot back a jab at her for literally bringing her into our bed, but I could tell sothing else was wrong. "Hestia what's actually eating at you?" I asked making her blank for a mont before sothing resembling sha crossed it and went back to her previous depressed expression.
I watched her for what seed a couple minutes just staring at the floor, and more than once it looked like she was going to stomp off, but it seed even she knew that would do far more harm than good.
"I feel useless..." She muttered making blank at the completely out of left field reply. Honestly, I expected a more jealousy related answer, but a role issue made no sense?
"Hestia for one you keep us safe as we sleep, and that's sothing no deity in the world can do. Not to ntion your normal duties, like updating our falna and such." I said gently pulling her in for a hug.
Hestia blubbered as she clutched onto my shirt and buried her face against .
When she cald down a bit, she pulled back and spoke. "I just want to help more than just being so goddess holding down a fort." She sniffled.
'Hmm is it possible I could make her so kind of automaton or sothing she could control from the church or sothing with the Hearth Fire, project I thought up.' I thought trying to find sothing she could do as she was naturally a lazy person and didnt want to work a nial job but frankly that was her only skillset.
Right now, I had no solution, to her problems, but I still needed to deal with how she did this whole Freya incident. "Hestia why did you want Freya pregnant?" I asked as that was by far the most pressing issue at the mont.
Hestia weakly smiled. "Regardless of any contract she could sign. I knew for a fact no matter what. If she carried your daughter, she would wholeheartedly devote herself to your cause no matter what." I blanked for a mont as I heard her say Daughter and I realized holy shit I am going to have to beat half the gods to death when they try to lay with the demigoddess.
But as I considered her words, I agreed as nothing could bind a couple together more than a kid, but whether the relationship would work out was a whole different matter.
"If you have any other plans that involve you need to tell , or this can't work Hestia." I said tiredly as honestly as I certainly couldn't do a damn thing about Freya. If the word abortion is heard while she is pregnant, I wouldn't be surprised if the person who said it doesn't see the next morning. Also, I couldn't be throwing stones as frankly if my woman enjoyed spending ti with other won after I've satisfied her, I should be ready for the consequences of sex.
Seeing Hestia nod I lifted her chin up and kissed her on the lips gently. "Hestia really my only problem was you not telling ." She blinked in surprise as my words caught up with her. "Yeah, I honestly am super excited for this, but you just dropped it on ." I smiled weakly.
Honestly, we had plenty of money coming in to support any normal child not to ntion I had no doubts everyone in the Hestia Familia would love the coming child, so I was very excited for it.
My only fear was the public's reaction.
"Let's just take it one step at ti ok love?"
Hestia smiled and it was now truly earnestly.
After cuddling on the couch downstairs and talking about the day we went back upstairs to socialize as Syr had returned and was talking to the other girls, but it seed Bell was still on his date as he wasn't here yet.
"Hey girls." I announced as we ca out of the basent door. I took Hestia by the hand and after sitting down beside Freya I pulled Hestia into my lap. She was actually conveniently short enough for to rest my chin on her head and talk to the people around making ntally giggle and wrap an arm around her waist and my other warm went around Freya's waist as she leaned against .
"So, tell us what happened with Ouranos." I asked Syr, and she smiled patiently as this was obviously not the first ti, she has answered this, as Freya didnt seem to be paying attention and was already napping against .
I will have to watch out for her as I bet, she has been stressed out about this and she shouldn't be this tired so early if she just been sitting around the church all day.' I thought ntally promising to keep a close eye on to the Goddess still in ntal disarray from losing all she had even if she has gained sothing else.
Syr launched into her tale as she told us about eting Ouranos and his literal freak out about this incident. "He, said that if soone was truly threatening Freya, she would be allowed to use her Arcanum but if she used her power for her own ends. He would send her to Heaven himself no matter what happened to the baby in question." Ah he ant Freya couldn't just march up to the Twilight Manor and nuke the Loki Familia in revenge." I nodded honestly relieved as I had no interest in trying to avenge Freya for whatever nonsense she started previously.
Well other than Loki coming with the first shipnt of materials in three days and then starting our weapon training we had a few days to hit the dungeon hard to gather as much funds as possible so we could to try the Hearth Fire project again.
