Rhea's POV: A couple days after the housing situation was solved

It's been so many years since I've been actively involved in the affairs of the immortal world, and even more since the prophecy about the final age was discussed amongst my sisters. So long that I was beginning to question if the prophecy was even true, or if my sons in the endless killing of each other's children would even allow the prophecy unbeknownst to them to be completed.

But here I am living in my eldest daughter's palace, in the kingdom of my grandson and granddaughter, with my people all in temporary housing, as construction is ongoing for their housing and the palace my sisters and I are having built, though we are starting to wish for it's completion as we are growing tired over Hestia and Leto fighting for our attention.

Don't get me wrong I love my eldest child, more than her siblings and anything else really, but I just sorta hoped that she would be more mature at this stage in life. 'come on Rhea be happy she hasn't seen you in over two millennia' inner me said. 'yeah but...ok I don't have a counter' I replied to inner me.

"mommy I made breakfast today" Hestia said jumping on my bed waking me up. I guess I might have overlooked telling you that I was at her palace yesterday and for today, at least until Leto tries to titannap me again and succeeds.

"Ok I'm up, what did you make today sweetie" I asked, seeing that she wasn't covered in any ingredients leading me to believe Leto hasn't came to try and titannap me yet.

"I made a pancake recipe that I learnt from a very nice woman like...I don't know...maybe fourteen to sixteen years ago. They are really good you must have some mommy" she said dragging me out of bed. 

I followed her, only slightly missing the warm embrace of the bed, and when I saw the pancakes I only had one question "Why are they blue"

"Oh well her husband or ex-husband, I forget which it was, said blue food didn't exist, which upset her son, the mean man's step-son, so she started making all food that she could blue, just to make her son happy and to spite the meanie" she explained

"hmmm strong woman" I said, "and a good mother"

"She really was, it's a shame you didn't meet her. The demigods equated her to you, just because how accepting she is of them, and because she actually cares about them unlike most mortal parents of demigods" Hestia explained with a mouthful of pancakes.

"Honey I'm pretty sure we went over this but it isn't nice to speak with your mouth full" I said

"sorry mommy" she said with her head down

"It's ok, however, I would like to meet this woman, where is she" I asked, and all the sudden Hestia started crying, which she rarely does at random, so I was honestly concerned, as I went to comfort her.

After Hestia crying for a couple of hours she started to just sniffle and cuddle more tightly into me. "Honey what's wrong was it something I said" I asked, because if it was, I don't know how I would ever apologize to her.

"N...No ma...mommy" Hestia sniffled into my bosom, "it wasn't you" she cried

"Then what was it, dear" I asked softly, feeling slightly better because it wasn't me who caused this. 

"I...I...I miss the nice woman" she cried, and I began to think what's keeping her from her.

"Why don't you go visit her" I asked, which only got another round of heavy crying from Hestia and me to concluded that the nice lady is no longer amongst the living.

Time skip: it took Rhea a few hours of saying sweet nothings to Hestia again to calm her down

"Do you wanna talk about it" I asked my daughter, after she finally calmed down 

Hestia only nodded her head which was still placed in my bosom.

"well, what do you want to say" I asked

"she...she was a very nice woman...who...who cared a lot about her son...and...and the other demigods" Hestia started, but as any mother could I could tell that she was struggling with just that.

"and who's her son, I would like to meet him I think" I said

"Oh you met him already, her son is Percy" Hestia said with less crying.

Ok wow...wasn't expecting that, though I should have remained open to the possibility, I just, I should have expected it, as I was told that one of their adopted kids was also Percy's little sister.

Hestia and I talked for a little while longer about Sally, as I learned her name to be, before she asked the most truly befuddling question to me. "Would you like to watch her funeral? Percy and Artemis recorded it because their adopted children couldn't attend due to concerns about their safety" She asked and added before I could question why. I nodded my head, and Hestia said she would go off and get the recording. 

Of course while Hestia is out is when Leto came and titannapped me. I, however, am not worried about being kidnapped, but am worried about how Hestia will react.

I have no clue how much time passed, but the next thing I knew my daughter was yelling about giving me back to her, and Leto responding saying "no, she's my auntie"

I sighed as I knew this would be a very long argument between the two. After thirty or so minutes, I notice a bright flash, and that I am now sitting in the middle of my grandson's throne room, with two very guilty looking young girls, which I recognized immediately as Hestia and Leto.

"You two need to stop now or I will ground both of you regardless of what your mothers say" Artemis responded

"well I ground you first so ha" Leto said, but that was the wrong thing to say, as Artemis only merely raised an eyebrow and Leto backed off from looking like she won.

"Mother I will not have you going around kidnapping others and causing mayhem in my kingdom" Artemis said sternly, which only caused Leto to look down.

"And Hestia lighting my mother's palace on fire is not an appropriate response to her kidnapping your mother"She said looking at Hestia, to which my daughter looked down

"You did what now missy" I asked looking at her.

"I may have accidentally lit a fire at cousin Leto's palace because she wouldn't give you back to me" she mumbled finding a lot of interest in her own two feet.

"accidentally or intentionally"I asked

"or" came my daughter's response.

I just sighed and turned to look at Leto to see that she was getting a similar talk from Phoebe. Artemis and Percy, however, were talking to each other.

I cleared my throat after I noticed my sister was done scolding her daughter getting the attention of Percy and Artemis. 

"Leto, Auntie Hestia, it's been decided that on top of whatever your mother's have decided, that both of you will be under house arrest until the palace of your mothers and their sisters is completed and ready for move in" Percy said.

"And you will only be allowed to leave your palace when summoned here for a meeting, and that is with guards separating you two" Artemis added

"but...but...but" Hestia and Leto started

"No buts, our decision is final, you both have cause enough mayhem and chaos today, and we are stopping you two from continuing your antics until the underlying issue causing you to act in such childish and inappropriate manners is resolved. Am I clear" Artemis said, and now I can understand why Leto and Hestia are listening to her, she sounds a lot like me when I was keeping my children from fighting each other during the first titan war. 

"Yes, Lady Artemis" they said, and were flashed out to their palaces.

"I hate when they give me a title" Artemis sighed

"What would you expect of them in this case" Percy asked, and Artemis let out a defeated sigh as if admitting Percy was right. "Anyways sorry to disturb both of you, but we were getting a little tired of the complaints about and noises from both of them fighting over you and your sisters. You and your sisters can decided to live where you wish until your palace is completed" Percy directed towards Phoebe and I.

"and if we wish to stay here for a few nights" I asked

Percy and Artemis had a quick conversation, as I know they have a lot of kids and from the looks of it and from what I was told about their palace, it doesn't have a ton of guest bedrooms built in if it does have any. "We will have a few rooms prepared, just give us a couple of days notice so we can actually prepare the guest rooms" Artemis said

"thank you for the offer but I must go back to my daughter to make sure she follows her grounding" I said, and bowed slightly before leaving

I swear it hasn't even been two months since I have arrived and my daughter has already gotten into big trouble. I hope this doesn't reflect badly on any of my people or myself.
