Son of Aphrodite

before the flowers birth

A young man was walking by catching the attention of many women in the street. Some tired to flirt with him though all were unsuccessful and let down easy. After this incident the man reached his destination a very impressive house, walking up he knocked and was greeted by a beautiful woman "Mark!" She greeted happily "It's so good to see you again" "Likewise" Marks deep velvety voice said "Come in, come in dinner's almost ready" Mark came in closing the door behind him.

After taking dinner out and setting the table mark and the woman sat. "You know we've been seeing each other for a couple years now," Mark began "And today is our fourth anniversary so I want to take things to the next level" he finished. The woman stood and made her way over to mark "So your finally ready?" She asked. "Yes I'm ready" She places her lips to his, pulling back she says "Now you have to be a little more patient the foods not even eaten yet" She purrs. Once dinner is done and both cleaned and ready for bed, mark begins his advance. Both him and the woman were in for a long night.

Groaning Mark awoke seeing his now pregnant (according to her) lover. Smiling he rubs her belly his heart overflowing with love for her and the potential child in her uterus. Moving his hand back he gets out of bed and cleans up. After his shower he moves to the kitchen wanting to surprise his lover with breakfast. After making and taste testing his food he moved to their bedroom and woke his lover up "Breakfast is ready" he said kindly. Once breakfast was eaten and his lover freshened up they went out shopping for baby supplies.

"Do you think this is good?" Mark asked showing a bib with a dove marking "Yes, but I also love this one" She said showing a bib with a flower white petals with a blue inside and white outer

Mark gasped "It's beautiful" He said. Giggling his lover placed both in the shopping cart "Now now save the aww for when the baby comes" She teased. Continuing their shopping mark and his lover now with a few boxes full of baby supplies went back home.

Setting everything down both got to work to set up the nursery. Mark moving and setting up the babies supplies and his lover decorating the room and designing it. "I love it" Mark spoke once more his voice light with affection. "Me too"

9 months later

"Mark!" She screamed, jolting Mark out of his sleep "The babies coming!" She labored out. Picking his wife up Mark hastily moved them to the car and speed of to the hospital. His wife's pained cries and labored breath bring dark thoughts to his head. Reaching the hospital quickly Mark rushed inside and was ushered into a room laying his wife on the bed he held her hand throughout her labore and broke a few bones form her shocking strong grip.

Four painful hours later the cries of a newborn replaced the groans and screams of pain. The doctor cleaned the baby and handed it over to the mother "Thank you doctor" Mark said "Don't thank me the joy of helping new life into this world is enough" She said walking out. "Mark theirs something I need to tell you" His lover began. "What is it?" He replied worried "I'm going to have to leave you because of a law Zeus passed stating no God is allowed to interact with their offspring." She said "Zeus? Law?" Mark repeated confused "I am not who you think I am," She began "In truth I am the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Aphrodite" She said. "..." Speechless Mark could only get out illegible words "I know you might not believe me so I'll show you" a dove flew into the room "Sit on Marks head" She said and the dove did so. "I...believe you" Mark said. Aphrodite smiled and handed her child to him "Our son must not know about me until he reaches 18 please try to give him a normal life and when he turns 18 take him to camp half blood he will be safe their" She said "The doctor that help me deliver him is actually one of my other children and don't worry no one in the hospital can see us when you get home the spell will
wear off so you'll be safe" She said

"Until me meet again Mark"
