January 25, 1706

3rd Person POV

"You're what!" Zeus screamed

It was so loud that all of the 10 other Olympians ran into the room, Hades was visiting, expecting to see Kronos, but instead saw a sheepishly smiling Hera holding her stomach and looking at a shocked Zeus.

"What happened" They all asked at once.

"Well" Hera said "I just told your father (AN: Hera and Zeus are all of the Olympians parents, besides Zeus' brothers and sisters (Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, and Hestia) and Hermes (not related to them, earned immortality), and they were all born in the BC time period) that I was pregnant."

"You're what!" they chorused, except for Zeus who was still in shock.

After a long silence Apollo finally said "So, you're having a baby."

"Yep that's what it means when someone is pregnant!" Hera shouted irritated with her family.

Zeus finally snapped out of it. "You're having a baby!" he said.

"Didn't we just go over this," groaned Hera.

"Well," said Athena, "this is going to be interesting."

September 13, 1706

The Olympian males were in heated discussion about some football player that got traded, while Aphrodite was giving all of the females makeovers. Suddenly, there was an ear-piercing scream heard throughout the room and all of the attention was put on Hera who screeched out "the baby is coming!"

1 Hour Later

There sitting in a crib in the middle of the council room was a beautiful baby girl. The second everyone saw her they instantly fell in love with her (even Hades, Ares, Dionysus and Hephaestus) she was perfect.

"What should we name her" asked Hera.

"Arabella" Zeus said.

Everyone tried it out "beautiful, just like her," said Athena

"MOM! Dad! Uncles!" I yelled. You would think that when you lived with almighty beings that they would hear you, what with their super hearing and such. I wonder where everyone is. Just then Hermes walked in; he was one of my best friends.

"There in a council meeting and stop yelling your hurting my ears." he complained.

"Well if there's a council meeting why aren't you there," I retorted.

"I am not there because I was sent to keep YOU quiet," he said back.

"Oh, well what's the meeting about?" I asked.

"You."

"What!" I screamed, "What did I do this time."

"Nothing," he told me, "they're just deciding when to give you your blessings."

"What blessings?"

"You'll see gotta get back to the meeting."

"Whatever, bye Hermes."

"Bye Bella!" he said running off.

1 Hour Later

Well here I was hanging out at the entrance to the council.

"Enter" I heard my dad say.

I walked in "Hey daddy," I said.

"Hi Bella!" everyone said. "Hi sweetie" my parents said.

"Soo, what's up?" I asked

"Bella, we've decided to give you the blessing of the gods!" said mom.

"So that's what Hermes meant," I exclaimed.

Everyone glared at Hermes. "It was supposed to be a surprise" grumbled Uncle Hades.

"Right, so let's get on with it," said Athena.

I closed my eyes and felt a flurry of power circle around me and pervade my entire being. When I opened my eyes all of the gods were looking at me, gauging my reaction.

"How do you feel?" asked Athena.

"I feel like myself but stronger and better," I told her.

"Take a look in the mirror," Aphrodite told me.

I looked and, I was beautiful. My hair had grown to my mid-back in sleek loose curls. My chocolate brown hair was streaked with light, sky, and ocean blue, pink, white, dark and light gold, black, yellow, silver, purple, red, and orange. My skin was an ivory color; my eyes were the same colors as my hair, the only difference being that they went around in a circular patter with chocolate brown instead of black irises. Which reminds me Iris was there too, most people don't know this but Iris is a daughter of Hera and Zeus. Back to what I look like, stupid ADHD (AN: she's technically not a goddess yet and still has ADHD as well as dyslexia, she will lose the dyslexia but keep the ADHD even when she does become a goddess, which she will), my body was now perfect, I was slender with curves in all the right places, and I was 5'4. I looked about 18 and I was only 13 years old!

"You're even more beautiful than before," exclaimed Aphrodite.

"Yeah," sighed Hermes. Weird

When Bella Walks in the Room

Hermes POV

Wow Bella is so beautiful and selfless and beautiful and… stop thinking those kinds of things. Wait why is everyone glaring at me… oh right I wasn't supposed to tell her about the blessing, my bad. Hey wait why did she close her eyes… oh right the blessing okay. Hmmm transferring power and essence hmmm.

Whoa.

"Your even more beautiful than before," I heard Aphrodite exclaim, but I was too amazed by that same beauty.

"Yeah," I sighed.

Why do I want to run up and kiss her, and why do I feel so sad and broken when I'm away from her and…

"HOLY CRAP!" Wait why is everyone looking at me… dammit I said that out loud, didn't I.

"Uhhh bye" I said and then booked it out of there faster than if I had Cerberus on my tail. When I got to my bedroom I sat on the bed and thought over my epiphany.

I was falling in love with the youngest daughter, favorite niece, and youngest sister of the most powerful beings in practically the entire world. I was falling for Arabella and I was falling fast, but at that moment, I swore on the River Styx that I would never tell her or anyone else this revelation if I could help it.

Right at that moment, George and Martha came in and asked if I was okay. They told me that everyone was worried. I told them that I was fine and asked who gave George a rat. He said that Bella had one in her pocket. Freaky, she must be hanging out with Apollo a little too much.

5 years later

BPOV

It's my 18 birthday, I finally look my age, and daddy called me in to give me a present.

"Happy Birthday Bella," everyone chorused.

"Thanks," I said, "oh and also thank you for shrinking to normal size."

"No problemo senoirita," said Apollo, in Spanish.

A couple hours later dad said that they wanted to ask me something and he was, obviously, spokesperson.

"Do you want to be a goddess?" he said. The question echoed off the walls repeating it over and over again. I was so astonished; all I could do was nod.

He gave me a soft smile and told me to close my eyes and look within myself to find my domain. I tried it; I blocked out all sound and focused on the little voice in my head. It whispered soft words to me and when I deciphered the words and spoke them in my sub conscious. A moment later I felt immense power coursing through me, becoming a part of me. Unlike the blessing I could tell that this was my power, my domain. I felt as if I could do anything and nothing could stop me. I felt more free than I ever had in my 18 years of life.

I opened my eyelids and whispered my root of power into my father's ear. He nodded and said "that is indeed very powerful and deserves a seat on the council. We will begin to build your throne tomorrow."

Then, he faced the council and said in a deep voice

"Welcome to the council of Olympians my daughter, Arabella, Goddess of Fate and Destiny!"

A cheer arose throughout the crowd of my family, but I think that the loudest of all was Hermes.
