As the shadows dissipated from around us revealing the familiar if now tidied surroundings of my place on Orthrys I caught Diana sneaking a glance at the door that lead through to my bedroom.
'We could always you know.' I said with a grin.
'What and let my self-righteous other half find out afterwards, yeah no.' Diana deadpanned turning away and looking towards me instead.
'Funny thing is last I checked she was the pregnant one.' I said softly into her ear before tracing my lips along her jaw line.
'Exactly which means before long she will become temperamental and prone to mood swings and unlike you, I sometimes have to share a head with her.' Diana retorted before pulling her face away though the red flush to her cheeks showed she was doing so reluctantly,
'So do goddesses actually suffer mood swings during pregnancy as well?' I asked jokingly.
'Yep and guess who she/we are gonna take it out on, guess what it is not going to be me.'
'Cheers for the team support on that one.' I told her with a pout.
'What can I say I stick by myself, now come on Kelp Head we are here for a reason and I would get it done before Artemis leaves the chariot and starts hunting us down.' Diana reminded leading me by the hand towards the door before letting go when we reached it. After all it would signpost to any of the palaces occupants should we cross their path something was amiss if we were seen holding hands.
'After you Seaweed Brain, lead the way.' Diana prompted as I opened the door and lead the way down the cavernous hallway. Most of the palaces total space was actually passages such as this designed so that a Titan could walk around in their true height. As well as the fact it could accommodate my entire wing span with a little extra.
Which had resulted in one impromptu race between myself and a certain Titan of the Air which I had been losing until he crashed into an unexpected obstacle. Lady Themis who was less than impressed with our antics though of course she couldn't do nothing to me as I was the same rank as her. Unfortunately Lelantos wasn't so lucky and got to spend a week acting as her personal climate control.
Thankfully Leto's room was not that far from my own a couple of doors and a intersection away. It was at that junction that the problem surfaced.
'Well if it isn't the lovebirds themselves.'

Dear gods I hated that voice so much, I thought to myself as the pair of us froze and slowly turned towards the source of the jeer.
'What the hades are you on about Atlas?' I demanded defensively.
'I don't know I am not the one walking through the halls in the middle of the night with a disgusting male am I?'
'So what Perseus is here as well, is that against the rules or something or do I have to kick your ass back under your burden. As it appears freedom has allowed you to think you can run your tongue.' I glared back at him.
'You know what though I could almost agree with you after all it is none of my business who you sleep with goddess, though Percy next time you bring a girl back I suggest shutting then locking the door. Goodnight.' He said cheerfully before stepping through a doorway leaving the pair of us in shock as we both stared at the spot he had been.
This was not possible of all the people who could have found out about us, why did it have to be him?
'It could be worse.' Percy said breaking the silence.
