"Mom" said Bell running through the house with a smile on his face as his little feet lead him to the kitchen where he saw Alfia standing in the kitchen cooking them all stew.

She was wearing a dark blue dress that covered up her body and the sleeves ended above her elbows and she wore black gloves on her hands. Around her neck the dress went white and made a slight frilled pattern.

"Yes Bell?" She said looking down at him with her green and gray eyes.

"Look at this cool story grandpa gave me, it talks about the story of Argonaut" Bell said with a large smile.

Alfia smiled softly and crouched down before gently rubbing the top of his head "I'm glad to hear that, you'll have to read it to me later" she said.

"Really?" He said with his eyes shining with happiness.

"Yes, I'd like to hear you read it to me" Alfia said.

Bell all but glowed, he then put the book down on the table next to him, then he immediately wrapped his arms around Alfia and hugged her tightly with his ear pressed against her chest, listening to her heartbeat which was his favorite thing to do when hugging her. "I love you mom".

Her smile grew more and her heart warmed before she carefully wrapped her own arms around him and hugged him tightly "and I love you even more Bell".

They held each other for a little longer before Bell let go and looked her in the eyes with a look of worry and hope "mom... can I be a hero to?".

Alfia stared at him for a long moment processing that and debating on what best to say, before she smiled and gently rubbed his head.

"Yes Bell, you can become a hero" she said before kissing his forehead.

Meanwhile Zeus entered the house and heard most of that and couldn't help but still he amazed how fast and much Alfia changed for Bell. She went into mommy mode so fast and did everything to take care of and make sure Bell was happy and safe, plus the most amazing thing was that she never got mad at him being loud, unless it was obnoxious.

"Mom" said Bell gaining both her and Zeus attention.

"Yes?" Said Alfia looking at him.

Bell mustered all the courage he could and looked her in her eyes "I want to be your hero".

Alfias eyes went wide at that.

"I... I know your sick.. but I want to be your hero mom, like your mine and make you happy and save you. I want you to see me grow up to be a hero and save people, but I want to save you the most" said Bell.

She was silent for a long moment processing everything he just said. She wanted to tell him that he couldn't and nothing he did could cure her... but when she saw the look in his eyes, she couldn't dare bring herself to say those words.

"Ok Bell, I'll wait for you to be my hero and save me" she said before kissing him on the forehead again and he kissed her cheek, making her smile more.

Sadly for them, this wholesome moment was ruined by Zeus.

"Where's my kiss Alfia?" Zeus teased.

Instantly the air became deathly cold and thanks to Alfias mommy energy, none of her rage hit Bell.

Only Zeus.

"MY KISSES ARE ONLY FOR MY SON YOU PERVERTED OLD MAN!!" She yelled before a look entered her eyes that he recognized and tried to run away, but it was to late.

"GOSPEL!".

Zeus was sent flying again and the front door was destroyed again.

After he was gone, Alfia turned around and smiled warmly and lovingly at Bell "sorry about that sweetie, come on, why don't you help me make dinner".
