Welcome to Gaia! ::

Adel, also hugging Dion back looked over. "Yes, of chorse." He was grinning, he didn't have very many friends growing up with the old man Ricther. TI was a lot of fun hanging aroudn the Gods, but he also wished that he could play with normal kids too.

Dion nodded his agreement.

For the next few days, they spent their time filling the house with a verity of furniture. Dion went out off his way to reconstruct some walls of small bedroom and transform it into a small in home theater.
Wall papers went up in a snap.
Not just furniture, electronics other decor went up, mostly paintings of nature,
Apollo filled the library's book shelves and the living room with vases of flowers.
There were a lot of flowers and plants.
It was Adel who discovered the small glass green house attached to one side of the house. And it was filled with small seedlings of various sorts.
Once all the Bedrooms were comfortable furnished. Apollo and Dion moved all of the gifts that Endmyion accumulated and put the into the master bedroom.
Adel's rooms was down the hall, the mortal boy was happy to have gained a large playroom as well as his own bedroom.

On the 6 day, Athena moved in, She hardly able to walk right. Supported by Demeter she was given a tour of the house.

"Impatient." She laughed. "This is really a lovely house, he'll be so happy to see it." Athena was smiling more often, despite hardly being able to walk around. Her large belly was heavy and she was offten tired out from walking too much.
She was reclined on a sofa reading and talking with Apollo, when she cried out from a contraction. "D-Diana!"
Ears perking up, Diana hurried along the halls to Athena's side, her silver yes were bright. "Is it time now?" she asked, putting both hands on her sister's stomache.
Athena Winced and turned her mind inward. "It's......Time....yes, he's ready to come out now...."

Diana took charge. "You can go out now Apollo, " she said, gently pushing him outside the room. "I assisted in your birth, just leave this to me....." She closed the door and called for Psyche to help her carry Athena to the bed.

Dion soon came to stand by Apollo in the hall way. He was almost jumping with excitement. "Did I miss it?" He asked, looking at the closed door hearing Diana's voice encouraging Athena. Gods could take days to be born or can take only seconds, from the sounds in Athena's room the birthing was soon going to be over with.

(*pokes* read up on their wiki, it sometimes says that Diana assisted their mother Leto.....and I'm just gonna skip past the messy bit. >_>; )


A few moments latter, after hearing the cries of Athena and the exclamations of the Goddess' attending her. Dion tried to press his ear to the door in attempt to listen for another voice.
Diana opened the door, frowning at Dion's attempt. She looked at Apollo.
"Endmyion's.....here." there was an odd tone to her voice. One that made teh Gods become wery. Dion's eyes widened. "Did....something go wrong?"
"No...He's fine." Diana said. "They are both fine." She bit her lip as she let Dion and Apollo into the room.
Psyche was gathering the used damp cloths and look at the new mother and her son.
Athena looked up at Apollo, with a worried expression, she was holding Dymion in her arms, only the top of his head can be seen. "Apollo.....don't....freak out ok?" She asked, pulling the covers off of the newly born God.
He was perfectly formed, long strong limbs and skin like flawless porcelain, long dark lashes blushed his cheeks, Endmyion was asleep, soft breathes panting from finely sculpted lips.
As Athena pulled the cloth lower, small neat white wings curled agsinst his shoulders, folded and still damp from birth.
Dion covered his mouth in a effort to keep from crying out. All thought Endmyion was completely healed, born a God....he didn't appear no older then Adel! The young man they had known now looked like like a 12 year old mortal boy.
Diana winced, just imagining what Apollo must think, afraid that he would take this hard.
"......he'll grow..." Athena said, trying to convince herself as well, "....just give him a bit more time....."

Diana looked down. "He's exhausted from trying to get out, he didn't make it easy on himself....during....it. Uhm," she looked up. "I think....that you should take him now. Athena may be mother to him, but.....He'll be more pleased to see you when he wakes up.
Dion looked a the sleeping form beside Athena. "Is it alright to take him away so soon?"
"He'll be fine," Diana assured them. "A little tuckered out, but he'll be fine....expect him to be just a little wobbly for the first few hours."
Athena sat up, her body already healing. "Apollo....sit down, You should hold him." She moved aside on the bed giving Apollo space to sit.
Endmyion stirred when he was moved, making a soft whimpering sound as he tried to open his eyes and closed them tightly, the light hurt his still sensitive eyes. "Hmm.....Apollo?" he asked weakly, trying to rise.

Endmyion feeling Apollo's warmth, cuddles closer and put his arms around him. "....Like I over slept...." His own voice sounded odd to him, but Apollo was here, he smiled and tried to open his eyes again, it didn't hurt this time but he could hardly see, Endymion's eyes had slightly milky film over them, like that of newborn kitten.
"Hmm......I've wanted to feel your arms for so long." Endmyion closed his eyes again and rest his head on Apollo's lap. ".....All that time....seems longer....in limbo...." He was asleep again, napping lightly, regaining his strength.

Athena leaned over and gave Apollo a one armed hug, trying not to disturb Endmyion. "No...I should thank you for finding him..."

Diana, silently ushered them all out of the room so that Athena and Endmyion could get some needed sleep.

later that evening, Athena brought Endmyion down to the living room where the gods were playing a board game. Adel was the first to notice. he looked and saw them standing at the door. "Hello Athena."
Dion also looked up. "Up already wheres....Dymion?"
Athena tried to move out of the way, she was holding onto Endymion's hand, bu the boy was trying to hid behind her.
Endmyion hung his head, he was dressed in Adel's borrowed clothing, his wing peeking out from behind his shoulders he was very reluctant to come out. Athena had managed to convince him to come downstairs....even thought, he was smaller.
