Persephone Parents Novels & Stories

“I do, but I want the baby to stay with us at first. I’ve never even held a newborn before, let alone raised one...” “Me either.” I twist to look at him. “Do you think we’ll be good parents?” He doesn’t hesitate. “Yes.” “Just like that?” “Just like that.” His fingers comb through my hair, rinsing away the soap. “We’ll figure it out. Nobody’s born knowing how to do this.” “True.” I grin, nudging him. “Maybe Severus can babysit.” Perseus barks out a laugh. “No. He hasn’t even figured out how to babysit himself. That’s more Bernadette’s style—she’s good with kids.”

They found a spot in the hospital's garden to sit and Sarah began, "I met Percy two years ago. At the time, I was desperate for money and Percy had just taken over the company her parents built for her." Ashton furrowed his brows, "Aren't her parents dead?" Sarah shook her head, "No, her parents are very much alive. They travel around a lot and Percy has been spoilt by them, so, she always gets what she wants. I had just graduated from college when my Mom's kidneys began to fail. I lost my dad at an early age, so my mom is all I have. She painstakingly saw me through school and has always been there for me.

Alexander nodded, touching my back to guide me to the car. “Can I have my daughter back?” Persephone asked as we went to divide up for the drive. “Umm… if I must.” I relented, kissing Jacira’s cheek before handing her back. “It’s just for a car ride. You’ll live, Delilah. How will you handle giving André and Darren their kids in what five weeks?” Persephone shook her head. “I’ll handle it just fine. They won’t be a world away like Jacira.” I assured her.

They both cheered, discussing what they will do when he will return, not thinking about the negative and on top of that to-do list was- ‘Father, find me a girl, I don’t want to die single.’ But, in that hall where everyone was engaged with their loved ones, bidding them goodbye, taking their buried feelings out. Persephone stood alone. “Tsk.” She scoffed, making a sour face, waiting for this to end so they could hear His Majesty’s speech. The sight was attacking her personally. She had no one who was waiting for her. “For whom should I return?” She breathed out, lowering her gaze. Her parents died in early war and ever since then, she had Zadicus.

Until Persephone is healthy again, nothing else matters. Then there’s Persephone’s family. Katrina, Tiberius, André, and Darren went home after a week. Katrina and Tiberius had to return to their young son and pack. I’m fairly certain André was forced to go home by his father rather than sending for their son to come to stay here while they awaited news. Alec went home, but not for long. He returned quickly with Persephone’s nieces, Gwen and Christina.

Knowing Alex’s parents would be safe and far from all this mess had been a relief. Even if Alex hadn’t taken Aurelia and Persephone at their word, his parents excitedly called him a few moments later, asking him to keep an eye on things at their house and with the business. They apologized for suddenly leaving and hoped he and Tristan wouldn’t mind finding alternate childcare while they went on their impromptu vacation.

That was what Perseus did every time dad want to spank him he would pretend to get scared he wet his pants mom always told dad that Perseus was only doing that not to get hiding but dad would always stand up for his son. "Look at us now, I'm getting married, you are going to be a mother, Apollo is already married and now he is a father it's only Perseus that is still single." I smile at her, "I think all of us turned out pretty awesome." "Agreed all thanks to mom and dad." We talked for the rest of the ride about our childhood until we reached the house. "I'm tired I will see you later," I told them as we got out.

"How long will you be gone?" "Not long, but..." "Is it Eva?" I close my eyes and nod. I'm new to this parenting and heard such stories from Claire and Thea. Kids like Persephone should have already hit puberty and already rebelled against their parents. But my daughter never gets to experience that in her life. She never went to school and made friends who gave excellent or lousy advice. And as a parent, I have to teach her what's right from wrong. I thought she would throw a tantrum and tell me not to go. But hearing that I'll be dealing with Eva and the Order, Persephone understood. All her life that I missed, she grew up in that place. She knows what the people there are like. She may be

Perseus was used to getting everything he ever had his eyes on. He was born from a family of warrior. His father was a general of the Crescent Peak army, while his mother was the daughter of old man Lucian. He grew up with servants toiling at his every wishes. His father taught him that the strong controls the world. So, he was trained by his father to be the best fighter in town ever since he was able to walk. And he took in every lesson like a sponge.

Percy quickly moved as she crossed in front of his door, making sure she didn't notice him. Percy’s curiosity was piqued. He needed to know more. Silently, he crept towards the door, careful not to make a sound. Peering through the crack, he saw his mother, her face a mask of anger and determination. Marissa stood nearby, wringing her hands nervously behind her. "This Jake,” his mother continued murmuring as she walked, “he’s not just some random kid. There’s history. Connections. And that transaction… it’s the key to everything. If only those detectives could do their jobs.”
