POV: Hecate
Everything was perfect. The child was growing in Sally Jackson's stomach, Sally ingested the potion on time finalizing my plan, and Zeus and Hera were finally at least not fighting. I laughed at the foolishness of the gods as I sat before the counsel. Apparently, this time, a potion was sold and it caused a whole lot of ruckus in the mortal world and of course all the gods always turn to me when it was something to do with magic. For like the fiftieth time today I denied slipping the potion into the mortal's drink and finally after a few more denials I was allowed to leave. Gods sometimes the ways of the gods just angered me beyond belief. All I wanted was to check on Sally Jackson and this blow head (Zeus) has to demand for me to come to the throne room and accuse me of something I never did, which by the way wasted at least a few hours of my time.
By the way the potion made sur ethat the baby grew slightly faster then a normal child in the beginning. The only way my plan could be is if somehow there was a miscarriage but that was not likely at all.
I shook it off and continued on my way to the apartment. I had disguised myself so that I looked like a normal woman of about twenty. It was easy just have normal clothes and you could fool even the best of the mortals. Mortals, they were so foolish. I knocked on the door and Sally came to open it. I put on a fake smile
"Hi Sally I am not sure if you remember me but I went to College with you. We were both in the same English class."
"Oh, I am sorry but who are you?"
"Call me Stefanie." I winked and Sally invited me in. I made sure before hand that there actually was a person named Stefanie in her college English class, as well as making sure that the real Stefanie wasn't going to randomly come up to visit for it could get a bit awkward. But that case was least likely since the real Stefanie was currently in Europe with her fiancée, Peter.
" Here is the picture of the graduation class." She said pointed to the first picture on the mantel. " I suppose you are somewhere on it." She replied
" Yes I am right there if you look closely I am the one right there in the middle." I pointed to Stefanie's picture.
"I see, now I remember you. I think you helped me study for a test once." She started to tap her foot. "Yes, you did help me on the test. So what brings you here?"
"I am sorry if I disturbed anything that you were doing but I was going to stay in the neighbourhood for a few years as part of my job and since I knew you were staying I just though maybe I should drop by to say hello." I chuckled softly and Sally quickly joined in with the laughing.
" I suppose then if you are staying then it would be good to be in touch after all if I moved into your neighbourhood then I would probably have done the same thing." She grinned and once more we started to laugh.
"Well, it was nice speaking with you. I shouldn't be pressing my presence on you at such a random time." I waved back at Sally and walked out the door.
"Oh yes well bye Stefanie it was nice to talk with you again. Perhaps you could come by more often and keep me company." She waved and closed the door quickly behind me.
I grinned at her last sentence. I could help myself. If only she knew how often I was going to visit after Perseus was born.
POV: Sally
Random for some reason the visit from Stefanie left me with a feeling that I would be seeing her very often.
A few days later...
