(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
Whatever reaction besides tenseness that the gods were expecting…Artemis blushing as red as her hair was not it.
"I have no clue what you're talking about." Artemis denied shaking her head and causing Aphrodite to giggle while Apollo looked torn between laughing and ranting. He loved seeing his sister so flustered…but he did not like the fact that she was in love again. No one tried to date his sister without going through him first!
"Oh yes you do hun but we'll talk about that later when there aren't others around. We can have tea at my place just like we used to before everything changed! But back to the other matter…can I please please please meet your little girl? She's absolutely adorable and I promise not to let anyone hurt her! Swear it on my throne!" Aphrodite said causing Artemis's eyes to widen alongside everyone elses at that. Swearing on a throne for a god or goddess was much more binding and damaging if they broke the swear than it was for them to swear on the Styx.
"Yes daughter! Bring your child here! That is an order!" Zeus thundered glaring at his favorite child who glared back at him much to his surprise.
"I shall bring little Pleione here but I will also be bringing my Hunters and I swear on my throne that if any of you give her so much as a scratch I will send you to join Grandfather!" Artemis said glaring around the room and causing Apollo to stand beside her with a hand on her shoulder.
"I swear on my throne that if any of you hurt my one and only niece I will be right beside my twin in giving you a one way ticket for a family reunion." Apollo said with a dangerous look on his normally happy and cheerful face that made many of the present Gods and Goddesses gulp.
"I might not have known or met the kid yet but she's important to Apollo and Artemis, who are my two favorite siblings. She's under my protection as well." Hermes said standing as well and glaring around the room while Artemis looked at Hermes briefly in surprise and thankfulness while he grinned at her.
"Hey Hunting and Traveling go hand in hand so of course I consider you one of my friends, especially since you only shoot me when I deserve it. Now where's the little tyke? Can't wait to meet her." Hermes asked grinning as he prepared to go and get the kid and Hunters.
"Thank you Hermes. I'll go get her though. My Hunters, especially my daughters 'daddy' will castrate you if you show up looking for her without me warning them first...and that's just what one of the girls will do." Artemis said smiling slightly at Hermes who flinched at this and nodded quickly. In a brief flash of silver Artemis vanished from the Throne Room to the Hunters. There was dead silence for a minute before Aphrodite looked at Apollo who looked back at her.
"You do know that your twin can date her daughters 'daddy' without getting in trouble right?" Aphrodite asked causing everyone to stare at the Titaness of Love.
"How is that possible? Artemis is a sworn maiden. She swore to never love a male." Athena challenged glaring at the woman who she was internally blaming for Artemis breaking her oath.
"Actually…it's the way Artemis worded her oath that allows for this." Aphrodite said grinning slightly and causing Apollo to think for a moment before his eyes widened and he was blown back by a nosebleed.
"See! Sunshine here figured it out!" Aphrodite said snickering as she took pictures of Apollo on her phone for Artemis to laugh at later.
With Artemis
"Lady Artemis! The meeting is over already?" Christy, one of the younger Hunters and a daughter of Hermes, asked catching sight of her Mistress walking out from behind some trees nearby where she had just flashed in. Instantly every Hunter was in the clearing looking at their Patron, Zoe holding Pleione which earned a soft smile from Artemis.
"No girls it isn't. I'm afraid that I have to bring all of you to Olympus." Artemis said causing everyone to blink and look at each other before looking back at their patron.
"All of us?" Zoe asked holding Pleione tighter protectively while the little girl was squirming to get to her mother. Artemis stepped forward and gently took the squirming four year old who giggled and cuddled close to her mama while her dad looked a bit upset at the child being taken from her. Artemis was inwardly snickering at this.
Yep Zoe was wrapped around their daughters pinkie quite firmly, but Pleione was a complete and total mama's girl.
"The other Olympians found out about Pleione and Zeus ordered me to bring her before everyone. I told him that I'd bring all of you…and no less than three other Olympians, not including me, also placed her under their protection so no one will be able to hurt her." Artemis said holding Pleione close, pressing a gentle kiss to her daughters forehead while the girl looked around curiously.
"Unky Polo?" Pleione asked looking around curiously and causing Artemis to smile at her daughters title for the Sun God.
"We're going to see Uncle Apollo and your other aunties and uncles and even your grandparents in just a second sweetheart." Artemis said causing Pleione to squeal happily before laughing when Zoe stepped forward and tickled her slightly.
"So who elses protection is she under?" Phoebe asked causing Artemis to smirk.
"Well Apollo is one of them of course, another is Hermes who claims that Apollo and I are his favorite siblings." Artemis said making the three daughters of Hermes in the Hunt smile at the mention of their dad.
"That is two but who's the third? Lady Athena?" One of the daughters of Apollo asked curiously.
"No…actually the third protector used to be close friends with me until certain…things…drove us apart. Turns out Aphrodite knew about my little Hunter since the beginning and was just waiting until I revealed her before asking if she could meet with her. Aphro even swore that no one would hurt Pleione when she was near and that Dite wouldn't mess with Pleione's love life…and that if she did then the person would truly love my little girl." Artemis said causing the only daughter of Aphrodite in the Hunt to blink for a minute before grinning.
"That's my mom!" The girl, Christy, cheered causing the others to snicker slightly before Artemis flashed them all to Olympus just in time to see almost every God in the room go down with nosebleeds.
"The hell?" Artemis asked blinking as she looked at the out cold gods…except for Apollo who was blushing brightly and had his hands over his ears.
"Artemis! Good! You won't believe the amount of blackmail on the guys that I got while you were gone!" Aphrodite said smiling as she waved a camera in one hand, causing Artemis to smirk before a giggle from her arms caused the awake Goddesses to look at Pleione.
"Aww she's adorable Artemis. Can I hold her?" Aphrodite asked her eyes sparkling as she looked at the little girl who was looking at her with wide innocent eyes.
"Of course Aphro. Pleione…this is your Aunty Aphrodite." Artemis said smiling at her daughter before gently placing her in Aphrodite's waiting arms.
"Hi there little cutie. It's so nice to finally meet you! I hope you get along well with the Hunt, especially my daughter, Christy." Aphrodite said smiling softly at Pleione while Christy flushed but beamed at the fact that her mom remembered her.
"Dite' dite' 'unty dite!" Pleione babbled causing Aphrodite to squeal softly as she hugged the child.
"You are too cute! Are we sure you aren't one of mine? You're as cute as any of my children are at that age!" Aphrodite said causing Artemis to snicker while Zoe looked less than pleased with this.
"Aphro don't steal my daughter. Her 'daddy' looks ready to shoot you with an arrow if you try." Artemis said causing Aphrodite to smirk at Artemis, which earned a confused look.
"So what happened to them?" Artemis asked nodding her head towards the downed Gods.
"Oh I just pointed out a loophole in your oath that Athena didn't notice." Aphrodite said smiling smugly at her handiwork.
"Loophole?" Artemis asked raising an eyebrow confused and causing the Hunters to look at each other curiously.
"Yep turns out that you have a loophole in both your oath and your Hunters oaths. I pointed it out to everyone else and the guys all went down like the Titanic… except for Apollo who seems to be catatonic." Aphrodite said smirking amused over at Apollo who was curled up in the fetal position in his throne. He was rocking back and forth with his eyes wide and his hands over his ears.
"…How perverted is it?" Artemis asked closing her eyes and pitching the bridge of her nose while Aphrodite sat down on the floor and played with Pleione, conjuring up a few stuffed animals to play with.
"Oh what I said wasn't perverted at all…their minds did all the pervy work for me." Aphrodite said grinning widely as she made the stuffed animals animated so that they were prancing around or flying near Pleione who was giggling and cooing at them.
"Doesn't it usually work that way?" Artemis questioned with a smirk that had Athena staring at her in disbelief.
"Indeed. Aww you like the deer plush?" Aphrodite said being distracted by Pleione grabbing the deer plushie that nickered gently as it nuzzled Pleione's cheek.
"Mama." Pleione cooed holding up the deer plushie and causing Aphrodite to coo alongside the younger hunters.
"Unty Dite." Pleione cooed as she managed to grab the small white dove plushie with her tiny hand. That had Aphrodite positively squealing now while the guys slowly started coming back around.
"My daughter's cuteness put aside for the second. What's this loophole in our oaths exactly?" Artemis asked smiling as she saw her little girl playing with the stuffed animals.
"You can't ignore this little bundle of cuteness and you know it. Either way though… the loophole is that you never swore off sex in general." Aphrodite said causing everyone to blink rapidly at her.
"What are you talking about Dite? I swore off-"
"Men. Exactly. The way you worded your oath is the loophole." Aphrodite said smirking as she disappeared from in front of Pleione so that she was now standing behind Artemis, wrapping her arms around the red heads waist rather provocatively since Artemis was in her twenty year old form. Artemis had taken to using that form more often since she had adopted Pleione.
"Wh-what are you doing Aphrodite?" Artemis asked turning a brilliant shade of red while everyone gaped as the Love Goddess grinned and nibbled on Artemis's ear.
"Demonstrating your loophole. You swore off men not sex…" Aphrodite said as her hands began roaming Artemis's body making the Hunt Goddess squirm slightly as if trying to get free.
"I don't think someone can have sex without a male…" Artemis said blushing darker as Aphrodite released her ear and gently breathed on Artemis's neck and cheek.
"Oh believe me it's possible. Much more fun and no risk of pregnancy too." Aphrodite said placing gentle kisses on Artemis's cheek as the males and Hunters watched on stunned. The guys were blown back with nosebleeds again while the Hunters turned dark red at Aphrodite's next sentence. None of them turned anywhere near as red as Artemis though.
"How about we go back to my palace and I can show you what I mean while your Hunters keep Pleione busy?"
