Mother

19

You were breastfeeding Orion his gem glowing bright while a book in your grasp. Your studied the same basic spells over and over hoping to imprint them on your memory as a keep sake. You grandfather has been hounding you on your education wanting you to follow in his steps. Every once in a while, you scanned the room not believing you would be living in somewhere so lavished and desirable. The idea of your sons growing in a respectable home and by your side puts you in a peaceful mindset. It soon becomes interrupted by a knock at the door.

You fix yourself before allowing this so called person in, and the door opens to reveal your uncle Thamus presenting you with a goofy grin that reminded you so much of your father. He tells you that you have a visitor, and you asked him politely to direct him to your room not wanting to leave the babies alone. He gives you a tip of his hat before leaving you be, and seeing Orion asleep, you place him in his bassinet patiently waiting for the surprise guest. That's when a familiar voice makes its way to your ears, and you tell the Julianic to come in. He's been visiting you recently and you've formed a liking to him. In a friendly way of course.

He picks up a book in attempt to make conversation.

" Astronomical Witchcraft. You know I've read this before."

You let out a little laugh seeing right through him.

" I know a liar when I see one."

He shrugs his shoulders not saying any more of it, and he comes stopping only a few feet before you.

" I have to ask on my father's behalf, but what have you been doing with your children?"

You cocked an eyebrow in his direction finding it a bit of a surprise, but you kept yourself together not needing Julianic to soil your plans. You've started a revolution of the next generation to bring harmony and heroes to Earth. Monsters will no longer be discriminated, and our side of the world with magic will finally be accepted with all. The humans will have no choice for their blood line will eventually be tainted, and they'll will understand what it means to be different. A new society will be born within this new community even if it never grows large for it will make a big impact. You just know it.

You guess you could say Diana turned you into a radical.

" My grandfather is handling it."

" That's what you keep saying, but my father is not technically trusting it."

" I can show where my uncle has froze them in time again-."

" You.. You don't have to. You have to understand my father is just paranoid. These children really must not be released to mortals. It'll be a whole fiasco, and you would be charge with obstruction against the Gods."

Oh you know this so well. Your grandfather has reminded you of the consequences many times now saying you were in world where you weren't allowed to make mistakes. You know he knows something you don't by the way he speaks to you, and you've tried endlessly to dig with this unknown knowledge.

" I just.. don't want you to suffer their wrath. Out of anyone, you don't deserve it."

" Trust me. If it weren't for my boys coming into my life, you wouldn't of liked me."

He starts to end the distance between you two, and you freeze when he cups your face with his palm.

" Would you believe me I said you were beautiful?"

" No."

You were surprised at how your insecurities shown through, and he honestly didn't expect such an answer also. You knew why he wanted you, or at least you think so. He finally kisses you and rougher than expected, and you two fight for dominance him suddenly pushing you upon the bed.

....

You woke up to shifting within your bed, and you jump quickly covering yourself once realizing when naked. You calmed seeing the familiar set of purple and green orbs shining through the night. You could hear sniffling, and you find yourself patting his head telling him to give you a moment to get dressed.

" Mama, I don't know if I like him."

You turn to Roman wondering who he was talking about.

" He shouldn't of defiled you mama-."

" Roman, we never talk about this sort of things. You 're too young."

Seeing it as a scolding, you could hear him on the verge of tears.

" I'm not mad Roman, and you don't have to worry about that. Mama can handle herself.'

" Promise? I'm just scared... about you getting pregnant again. That night you gave birth was scary. I don't want to lose you like my other mama."

Once dressed, you pulled him in a tight hug about to ask if he wanted to sleep in bed with you when you feel an unfamiliar presence pass your door with the sound of an envelope sliding across the stone floor. Your babies even since it waking Zula and causing a fit of crying. You tell Roman to stay put as your magical fluorescent power surrounds you as a threat and to see what skit across the floor. You picked up the letter taking in the seal of a gemstone. You opened it up feeling the energy that radiated off of it.

" It's... It's from Earth?"

It's from one of the bigger towns known as Goldstein Ridge being an invitation to a masked ball, and you were even seen as an honor guest; this particular person writing in hoping to see your... work. The children you birth... Possibly inspect your wombs maybe? You weren't sure, but this was something you should see for yourself. You should tell Diana and the board about this.. How did they even infiltrate your grandfather's home-

You instantly throw the parchment to the side, and tell Roman to keep the door lock and to use their magic if necessary to protect himself and the babies.

" Yes mama!"

He was destined to be a good older brother. You run rushing to check on the children. After checking on Sebastian and Atlas, you were met with your Uncle Continuum who was alerted just like you checking this hallway for your sons and you.

" Are you okay? Father and I felt an intruder in the household. It was only for mere seconds though which fickle me so. Did you feel it as well?"

You nod not speaking of letter.
