The water was calm. I watch the water ripple against each other. Athena leans her head against my shoulder and watches with me.
"We should be seeing land right about now, right? Or are we going to see another part of the world?" Damien asks as he guides the skiff.
"At this point, I want to lay in my own bed." I say as Bronx whimpers at not being home with the rest of the clan. "Also, I want to get back to the others. I already know that I'm gonna get lectured by Luna, CeCe, and Alex. And most likely Charlie." I say leaning my head on the skiff.
I feel claws tuck my hair behind my ear. I look over at Goliath. "We will get home, Diana." He places his enormous hand on my cheek. "I promise."
I blink my eyes, and nod my head. He places his hand down, Athena stands up and hugs Goliath. His arm wrap around her waist and she leans her head on his shoulder. "I think she's growing on you, big guy." Damien says to him. "Like a child and a father." He says and I look up at him with wide eyes. "And Diana the cool and loving mother." He says shrugging his shoulders. I freeze in my place as I heard it coming from his mouth.
Athena then releases Goliath and went to me, hugging me. "Mommy?" she asks me, my heart melts at her voice and I hug her tightly.
"I think my heart melted at that." I say with teary eyes.
Goliath moves over and sat next to me. Athena then points to Goliath. "Daddy?" I look at her and then look at Goliath. He was left stunned at the question. I lean my head on hers and I felt more tears coming, as a smile came on my face. "I think she's asking you if you want to be her dad." I say, voice cracking and full of emotion. He looks at me, and then back at Athena.
