chapter 2

lapis's POV

it had been about a month since my birth and I have yet to see my father, I already doubted I would before the age of 12. that was until  I saw a cloud of water vapour suddenly enter the house, I was in my play area in the living room when it happened. I looked at it in confusion as this wasn't something that would usually happen.

the vapour suddenly turned into a large man, he seemed about 6,4 and had the same physical features as me. this told me that this man was Poseidon, my dad.

my mum was in the kitchen at the time preparing for me to be fed, having to already start bottle feeding me because I had an allergic reaction to breast milk. Poseidon called out to my mum who immediately came to see who had entered our humble abode.

when she saw him she called his name confused before asking why he came to visit, Poseidon answered:" to see you and my child, of course, I want to interact with him at least once. so where is he"

most people would find it weird that a father would not know the gender of their child and instead just assume, but Poseiden has an excuse. you see, he has never had a girl before, all of his children were always boys, hero or not.

mum laughed at his statement and said while pointing at my playpen:" you should probably look at her before assuming"

Poseiden looked confused for a few seconds before turning his attention to me, it caused him to gasp. he could obviously tell I was indeed his because of my sent and aura. when he realized what was sitting in front of him tears started falling from his eyes, a giant smile growing over his face while stating:" I have a daughter".

my mom smiled fondly at him as he walked over to me to pick me up, he reached his arms out to me waiting for any sign that id let him lift me, I thought why not and crawled over to him grabbing his thumb while doing so, his happiness only grew as he slowly moved me into a cradling position near his chest, mum then told him:" her name is Lapis, Perseus Jackson" he then told her that it was absolutely perfect.

when he spoke up again, the words he spoke could shock even the vates themselves:" I don't dought that all Olympians will love her, even Zeus could eventually find it in his cold dead heart to adore her. I have a plan".

mum spoke up:" what is it"

dad (Poseidon):" I'm going to convince other Olympians to start liking her so that Zeus will have a lot more trouble hurting her. I'm sure that I can at the very least convince Hestia, Hera, Demeter, Artemis, Hades and Persephone.

mum:" how will you do that?"

dad:" it is simple to explain with Hestia, Hera, Demeter and Artemis, Hestia is the goddess of family and lapis is now her niece. Hera cares about family too, she is probably the second-best in that after Hestia Demeter has a daughter and knows what it feels like to lose said child, even if Persephone returns to her every half-year I know she would never wish the loss of a child onto anyone. and Artemis is the goddess of women and will care about females above all else.

mum:" but what about Hades and Persephone then, I don't think they will be as lenient".

dad:" yes, however, Hades mostly judges someone on their personality, the same goes for Persephone. she will at one point come face to face with both of them, and the way she acts around both will determine their judgement. all I have to do to make their judgments less by telling them of her existence.

mum:" alright then. oh, I almost forgot lapis was just about to be fed, I need to give her formula because of an allergy, do you want to do it Poseiden?'

dads eyes lit up, looking almost as bright as the sun itself. he started nodding his head excessively, making my mom chuckle while walking back into the kitchen to keep on making my bottle while dad started playing with me. I decided to amuse him and play right-back while giggling and babbling at him.

he was obviously adoring every movement I make showing just how much this man actually cared about his children seeing as no other god would do this, no matter the gender.

a few minutes went by and mum walked back in to the room with a bottle filled with my formula and handed it to dad. he gently put the nipple of the bottle to my mouth so a could take it, I did and started drinking it.
