“Seven minutes in heaven . .” he snorts "that’s nothing but an evil farce to me.” Law growls and huffs in protest. In addition, your wink only manages to let him avert his gaze, complaining simultaniously: "Stop that." Although the light barely shines through the thin slit of the closet door, a hint of red is to be noted on his cheeks, caused by your straightfoward behavior. Before you can comment on that rather adorable display of your Captain’s abashment, Law grumbles and turns away from you, his hat being pulled over this usually stoic face.

“Oh come on. You’re acting all rough and tough now, even though we all know you have a cru-“ - “Shut it!”, it is then, where your intoxicated mouth is silenced by a hissing remark and a glare that sends shivers down your spine. Steel colored pools threaten to pierce through you, a dark shadow casting half over his face from the brim. The tension between you only grows, however — your perception isn’t exactly reliable, thus your distorted judgment lures you to take it a step further.

Slowly you approach him, your hand reaching out and landing on his upper arm. Upon the sensation of your gentle palm, the man flinches and clicks his tongue: “Hana-ya, you’re drunk . .” - “I’m tipsy, there’s a difference!” Your sassy retort gives Law all the more reason to roll his eyes and keep distance from your advances. Asking you to quit your fooleries and uncalled for touches, his words fall on deaf ears — you continue on being a needy nuisance. From his perspective that is.

“Tipsy or drunk, you’re still under the influence. And that too much for my taste.”, he mutters, swatting away your grabby hands occasionally, with no avail. Like a burr, you stick to his side, pressing yourself against him with a pout that looks almost comical. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, attempting your best to make him give you the attention you oh so longingly crave.

That crave isn’t solely a product of your inebriation, it has been there for as long as you can remember — since the first time you met eachother. And now, where confidence peaks, your elegance lacks, nevertheless you cannot let this opportunity slide.

“Loosen up a bit, Captain.”, is what you hum nonchalantly, your warmth invading Law’s peace of mind. With a snappy tone, he answers in a matter-of-fact: “That’s the point, I can’t when you’re like this. You’re insufferable when you drink.” It hurts, seeing him this distant towards you, yet it doesn’t hinder you from taking action. You’ve had enough of these mind games.

In one suave move, your fingers caress his chin, ruffling his goatee as you turn his head to face him. Shock accentuates Law’s features, his jaw dropped, a sweat drop drifting down his temple and pupils blown widely. All those details mildly illuminated by the cozy warm light from outside the closet. “Hana-ya . . explain yourse- mhf!”, too late, his query is being interrupted abruptly, after you pull him down by the collar to slam your cherry like lips against his. The kiss is sensual and slow, leaving him completely stunned and unable to respond properly to your ministration.

A tad bit awkward, his mouth remains stiff but willing to reciprocate, as he melts under your heat. Your hands rest on his chest, now that his body has turned your direction. There is a hitch of breath you notice under Law’s strong air intake, fueling you with a sense of victory. Gradually, you feel down his stomach, his abdomen. It isn’t particularly clothed with a vest halfway done, exposing his torso how he usually wears it.

Each centimeter your palms cross, earns more shallow, more audible rasps out of him. Then a strong grip around your wrist stops you in your tracks. “Woah woah . . you’re trespassing unorthodox territory here . . Hana-ya.”, Law utters breathlessly, his voice nearly hoarse already. Uncertainty is written in his eyes, telling about his worries regarding you and your connection the both of you share.

In abandon, your pretty doe eyes glimmer and look up at him with nothing but adoration, if not with a tinge of a broken heart. This pleading, close to puppy dog charming gaze sets the surgeon’s chest aflame, upon realizing that this gorgeous little lady before him is in fact infatuated with him. Albeit him being an emotionally lapid and dull man, Trafalgar does indeed have a soft spot for the mellow sentiments. Hence he cups your face and leads you towards him again.

“Oh . . you damn woman, ” he curses under a low growl, before he lures you with a whisper that grazes your lips, “come here.” Another kiss that seals the deal and induces your belly with the fluttering of butterflies, a hum of yearn escaping your throat in response. You find yourself entranced by the way he conveys his attraction to you, his tongue silently asking for permission to relish in your taste.

Alcohol still has quite the hold on you, opting you to remain playful and smiling into the kiss in a ‘dare-you’ manner. Oh no you don’t.

Teeth begin to nibble on your lower lip, forcing you to let out a timid moan. And as if this isn’t enough, one of Law’s large hands finds it’s way down your sides, along your waist — hips and finally, your plush behind. Giving it a squeeze to earn a second, more of a whimpering moan. That’s where you submit to his dominant and possessive nature. Now he is the one smirking in victory, lip locking you just about starvingly.

The air in the closet rises in temperature, the two of you being the cause of it. What was simple kissing before, is now a full on out make out session, as you explore his body. Greed overtakes you, your hands brushing up against his lower abdomen, dangerously close to his slowly but surely growing hard on. Law groans, his arousal throbbing in his spotted and slightly too tight jeans.

"Captain! Hana! Hello? Seven minutes are over!", a voice calls out from outisde the closet, startling the both of you. And to your horror, the door creaks open. "Hakugan, seven minutes aren't over yet.", Law simply states, clearly indicating not to be disturbed and immediately holding the door closed. The masked man on the other side grumbles thoughtfully: "But-" - "You're not questioning your Captain's judgment, are you?"

Footsteps vanish into the distance, leaving you and the doctor alone again without further intrusion.

Out of nowhere, the tall man lifts you off the ground and pins you against the wall, slipping between your legs while his arms hook underneath the crooks of your knees.

"Now . . Hana-ya, I'm starting to believe this prank was to our favor," his pelvis closes in to your core, the hardness giving you the idea of how dearly he reciprocates your feelings "don't you agree?"

A wolfish grin spreads over his lips, sending shivers down your spine and you agree to his haughty question with a subtle nod.

And with this nod, you opened the gates for this eager man before you, his possessiveness showing in a low chuckle.

That night, after that failed attempt of Shachi and Penguin to prank you and Law, Cupid did his job justice. A memory you blush and smile sheepishly to, for Valentine's day marks the day you found your mutual raging flame.

To this day, Law still can't cope with your tipsy flirtiness, but finds it endearing and hilarious nonetheless. And for certain, this was the first and last prank, he'd tolerate. Ever.

(This is for the milestone event! Congratulations!) Can I request a fic where Emma and Draken are at the doctors and hear their baby's heartbeat for the first time? and Draken getting a *little* more emotional than he thought he would? Thank you!

›› Family

They're around thirty when they find out they're going to have a child.

One of the perks of having a family of their own, for the likes of Draken and Emma, is experiencing an endless string of first times.

But every joy comes with an equal amount of doubts and fears. Will they be good parents? Will their baby like them? What if the past steps in and the lack of parental figures in their lives will end up influencing the way they raise their child?

They're sitting in the waiting room, holding hands, and they know they're both thinking about the same things.

«Draken, your hand is sweaty.»

«Maybe yours is, Emma.»

Mikey, who is there too, nervously taps his foot on the floor and bites his nails as he has never done before. That is until the doctor announces it's their turn and Draken and Emma sprang to their feet like toy soldiers.

«Don't you come in?» Ken asks Mikey, who is still sitting there.

«No, I'm scared, hehe! Go ahead.»

Draken's disappointed look shows how he wants Mikey to be by his side today, more than he'd like to admit.

Once they're inside, Emma lies down on the bed and gets ready for the ultrasound. Draken, on his part, doesn't know what to do with himself and just stands still, clumsily, until the doctor invites him to take a seat on the chair next to the bed. Emma smiles at him and grabs his hand in an attempt to reassure him, but it's very much clear how flustered she is in the first place.

«Let's start.»

As soon as the doctor places the probe on Emma's belly, the magic happens. The room is suddenly filled with the most beautiful sound they have ever heard.

Emma gasps, her eyes glimmering with small tears, as the grip on Draken's hand gets shakier but tighter.

Thump, thump, thump, thump...

It is loud, it is strong, in a way that it just echoes everywhere outside and inside. It sweetly pierces Draken's heart.

«This is your child's heartbeat.» The doctor explains, a little pedantic.

«This is our child's heartbeat...» Draken repeats in a whisper. He looks stunned, as if his brain just short-circuited. «Our baby's heartbeat...»

«Our baby...» Emma echoes his words, reaching out a hand, in order to tenderly cup his cheek.

Thump, thump, thump, thump...

«Our baby's heartbeat!» Draken shouts this time, abruptly jumping from his seat, making the doctor flinch. He leans down on Emma and kisses her lips. One, two, three, four times! He looks like a fool, chuckling and rubbing his face, gasping in awe and then laughing again. All the emotions he has always handled masterly and kept inside him with care are spilled all at once in a loud and messy fuss. «I love you!»

«Draken?» Emma laughs, half amused and half flattered, careless of the doctor trying to do his job.

«Where is Mikey?! Mikey needs to hear this!» He says, very loudly, as he rushes outside, like an hurricane. There is nothing left of the steady and level-headed man he usually is.

Emma is a giggling mess, she just can't refrain herself.

«Miss?» The doctor hesitantly tries to bring back order. «If you keep laughing like that, it's impossible for me to go on with the ultrasound, I—»

Another wave of chaos engulfs the room when Draken comes back, dragging Mikey inside, with an arm around his shoulders.

«Do you hear that, Mikey? That's my baby! Can you believe it? Mine! My little child. Your Ken-chin will have his own baby.»

Mikey's eyes grow big, as in a shock. Draken's voice and delusional rambling is the least of his worries. «Emma, Ken-chin...» He mumbles. «Is this my nibling?»

They nod, happily. And Mikey's shock quickly turns into amazement, before he covers his eyes with a hand and starts softly sobbing.

«Are you crying?» Draken asks, before he bursts out laughing again and holds Mikey tighter in his arms. «Two children for us to raise, Emma! We were worried about not being sufficiently prepared to be parents, when we've had Mikey all this time.»

Emma chuckles. «Mikey, come here, your little sister needs a hug, too!»

They are so chaotic, the doctor feels simply overwhelmed. «T— The baby is healthy, anyway.»

To have a loving family... What a bliss!

(So I’ve been on and off about this but I’m going to do this because I’ve found a love for this character and I can do what I want because it’s my blog. What do I mean? Well, simply put, I”m bring Athena Entra back from the grave? How well, you will just have to read this then. For now, give me a few to get her profile up and she will be open to ask and RP’s if you so choose.)

The Past to Complete the Future

 “Sako! What the hell did you do??”

“How the hell should I know? The prototype test all came out positive! Nothing should have gone wrong”

“Well we are out of power and the warning systems are going off for something so you must have calculated something wrong!”

“Well get the fucking power back one so we can get this figured out instead of yelling at me!”

“We are you damn fool!”

 Lulu and Kane were returning home from playing turf wars all morning as both of their stomachs growled for food as they got inside their family dome in Octo Valley. “Hmmm, the leftover soup Grandpa made yesterday or the chili from Tuesday?” Lulu questioned. “Chili! It’s still pretty cold and a nice warm bowl of it sounds pretty nice right now, hehe,” Kane chuckled. “Chili it is then,” Lulu replied chuckling with Kane. Coming down the hill, the house was in view as the siblings walked up on the porch but then stopped abruptly. Rustling of papers and footsteps could be heard inside the house which confused the two as nobody should have been home at the time. “I thought Mom and Gramps said they wouldn’t be home for lunch today,” Kane questioned in a whisper. “I thought so too and the door is still locked,” Lulu whispered back as she slowly opened the panel on the side to type the code in and place her key in to unlock the sliding door. “It’s not Zappy is it?” Kane questioned. “No, he doesn’t make that loud of noise if he is in things,” Lulu replies as she slowly opens the sliding door.

Peaking in, two looked around before spotting someone near the music cabinet by the TV. From behind, it looked to be an female octoling with long pale yellow tentacles and blue rings around her suckers; indicating she was a blue ring octopus. Rustling again through something, it turned out the octoling was looking through one of the many binders Octavio kept in the cabinet. “That’s where Gramps keeps all his documentations right?” Kane whispered as the two slowly walked into the house, trying not to make a sound to startle the intruder. “Yeah. Valley, work, any of it,” Lulu replied. “Who do you think they are?” Kane whispered. “No idea right now but be on your guard incase anything happens,” Lulu replied.

Getting close as they could, the siblings held their turf wars guns up before Lulu spoke up. “HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?” Lulu called out. Jumping in fright the octoling turned around to be a young octoling slightly taller than Lulu with blue eyes and pale skin. She wore a light blue sun dress and just seemed confused about something. “PLEASE DON’T SHOOT! WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?” the octoling questioned in panic, seeing the guns. “I think we should be asking you that question!” Kane remarked, about to walk forward when Lulu stuck a tentacle out to block him. “Wait,” Lulu spoke; Kane looking at her funny. “What do you mean wait? She’s obviously delusional and an intruder,” Kane questioned. “Kane…I don’t think so…” Lulu replied before lowering her gun and walking up to her. Looking her over, Lulu recognized this octoling. At least from photos that hung on the walls of the house.

“You’re…You’re Athena…aren’t you?” Lulu asked, realization on her face. The octoling looked puzzled at Lulu. “Yes..,” the octoling replied confused as she looked Lulu over before pointing to the pictures hanging on the wall and asking, “Are…are you the one in these photos? The one with my husband?” Lulu nodded. “Who…who are you?” the octoling questioned. “My name is Lulu. Lulu Helia Entra and that man there, your husband as you say, is our grandpa,” Lulu replied, pointing to Kane and herself. The octoling just shook her head in confusion. “Grandpa? What do you mean? Precious is only 10! What is going on here? Why is the house different? Who are you two and where is my husband?” the octoling questioned, panicking and about to cry. “Lulu is this really Grandma Athena,” Kane questioned. “I think so…I recognize her from Grandpa’s photos. Like that one hanging right there,” Lulu replied, pointing to the picture on the wall, one of the same octoling standing in front of them. “Holy cod….but how?” Kane questioned confused, “I thought Gramps said she was dead!” “DEAD?? WHAT DO YOU MEAN DEAD???” the octoling replied shocked and tears down her face. “Woah. Shoo! It’s okay,” Lulu remarked, coming up to the octoling and rubbing her hands in comfort. The octoling was startled at first but seemed to warm up some to Lulu’s presence. “I don’t understand what’s going on. One minute I’m in bed for the night and then the next I wake up and my house is different. Everything is different. I thought I could find answers in my husband’s paperwork but it’s all confusing. Dates are different. Things I don’t know. How? And what does he mean that I’m dead?” the octoling questioned. “I don’t know how but I do know this. If you are our Grandma Athena…then you have been dead and gone for almost 40 years,” Lulu replied, watching the shock overwhelm the octoling’s face.

An hour passed as the three took a seat in the kitchen with the octoling recounted what she knew as Lulu tried to explain everything to her in the last 40 years. “I never would have thought they would have been so hard on each other. And for you to suffer for it. Oh Lulu, I’m so sorry!” Athena stated, trying to wipe tears away. It seemed Athena was taking well what Kane and Lulu had explained to her but some events where hard for her to take in. Moving over to comfort her, Lulu rubbed her grandmother’s back before replying, “Hey it’s okay. Mom and Grandpa are fine now and everything and everybody is doing great. The valley is repaired and life is going great. It’s okay.” “Still Lulu. Where did she come from if she is supposed to be dead?” Kane questioned, holding a tissue out for Athena. “I don’t know. Fact is she doesn’t know what happen after she went to sleep that night but I do know that it started to rain like Grandpa had told me before, turning into a freak thunder storm. Such a heavy weather and temperature switch, she got sick which lead to her death and the rift between Grandpa and Mom,” Lulu replied. “Maybe some time anomaly of some sort?” Kane suggested. “Maybe. Probably would explain why she doesn’t know what happen but how?” Lulu replied. Looking at each other, the siblings sighed as the woman blew into the tissue.

Just then there was a knock on the front door. Getting up, Lulu walked over to it and opened it to see Sako with an energy reader in one of his tentacles. “Afternoon Lulu,” Sako stated. “Afternoon Sako. What brings you here?” Lulu asked. “Business! Tell me Lulu, do you have company?” Surprised, Lulu replied, “Sort of…why do you ask?” “Well, I was doing an experiment up at the space station when our systems when down. The alarm system went on and tracking the data and energy, we found an anomaly which I have tracked to here,” Sako replied. Before Lulu could say anything, Athena walked up and stated, “Sako, is that you? My you grew a mustache out since the last time I saw you.” Startled and in shock, Sako was lost for words. “Que…Queen Athena?? How?? It couldn’t be! Could it? Yes! Yes! So the data was correct. Interesting! Quite interesting indeed! Hohoho! What an interesting achievement!” Sako boasted. “Sako, what are you talking about? Do you know why Grandma Athena is here when last I checked she was dead?” Lulu questioned. “That I do! Do you mind if I come in?” Sako asked.

Letting him in, they all took a seat on the couches by the TV. “Now then. Lulu do you remember the last time we talked and I said was working on a project for our space technology?” Sako asked. “Yeah. It was something about a more powerful machine to detect and collect images from further reaches of space than our telescopes now could reach. What does that have to deal with this?” Lulu replied. “Everything actually! About a few weeks ago, I got a prototype working and had tested it and found positive results. I was collecting images somewhat farther than anything we had collected before so I got the approval from your grandfather and my boss to make a full on scale version. Having finished it yesterday, we moved to the space station and hooked it up. Now for understanding purposes, this was how it was suppose to work and how it did with the prototype. What it was supposed to do was create a type of worm hole that would decrease the distance between our position and the position that we were aiming for to take pictures to our liking. Now to do this I had to borrow technology from our multiple dimensional portals which we use to create said worm holes to cut through the dimensions of other universes,” Sako explained. “The ones part of our phones now right?” Lulu asked. “Correct. Using the technology would give enough of a power source and kinetic energy needed to create the said worm hole. Now when we hooked up the machine to the system in the space station I had calculated values needed to equate to the values of the prototype. Except…I made a few errors. Errors that resulted in not only overload the system and knocking the power out in the station for over 10 minutes from such a power overload but did not make a worm hole but some type of time portal. Now remember, this was supposed to take images from a far off distance that would not have reached us for some time. Like the images of the KR-5 nebula that we discovered back in January. Instead it took something from a distance in time. An image of the past. But because of the errors I had made, instead of an image, there was enough energy to made a copy of what it was looking at and bring it here to our time, causing our systems to go on alarm because of this strange anomaly. Which we know now is the Athena that is sitting here with us.”

“So, has this effected time in some way?” Lulu questioned. “Has it effected the past? No. I think of all people, you would know that if your past had changed any should she have been pulled out of her time. No, instead, she is more of a segment taking from herself from the past and brought here to the future,” Sako stated. “So the machine grabbed her while she was asleep and in a way, brought her here to the future while still leaving her in the past?” Lulu questioned kind of confused in all this. “In a sense, yes and as data has shown, this hasn’t caused an effect on anything. Which is a good thing,” Sako explained. “But is she like here to stay? Or is she going to disappear any time soon?” Kane asked. “From what the energy reader has taken, her body and energy waves are stable. If anything was to happen to her, there would have be an imbalance in either her or the energy of our universe, neither which is showing up on the reader nor back at the station. So I think she is here to stay. Which wouldn’t be a bad thing. It’s not like two of her are running around causing time distortions and the valley has seen stranger things so I doubt her returning presence would cause any major commotion. Tell me Lulu, how is that balloon friend of yours doing?” Sako said. “Donny is doing fine Sako. Thanks for asking,” Lulu replied in a dry and annoyed tone at Sako’s notion of Donbalon. “Good, good. Well, this will definitely go down in the records. And with that, I suppose I will take my leave. I assume you will explain this all to your grandfather for me when he goes home, yes?” Sako stated as he got up from the cough. “Yeah, but what about the machine?” Kane questioned. “Fried for now and probably going to stay that way. Although in a smaller size it has achievable results, I don’t want to take the risk again of trying to make a full scale model, should I get the numbers wrong again. We got lucky this time and only Queen Ahtena’s revival being the end result of said error,” Sako replied.

Walking Sako out, the three waved him goodbye as Sako left them on the porch and headed out of the dome. Back inside the house, the three looked at each other, not sure what to say. “Well…I guess I’m here to stay,” Athena finally spoke. “Guess so,” Lulu replied, “And I guess we have a lot of catching up to do.” “I guess so. Perhaps over some lunch I guess,” Athena stated. “Yes, please! I’m starving!” Kane remarked; Lulu and Athena giggling. Settling down for the rest of the afternoon, the three talked over enjoying left over chili as Athena got to know her grandchildren. The siblings found their grandmother to be quite sweet and endearing as she laughed and listened to them talk about their lives and adventures together as they came into contact with each other and became one family. Athena talked about the past, telling her grandchildren her times singing and how she came here from the states. As evening started to set in, Lulu searched for some of Athena’s old clothes to change into after her bath in the dresser in the bedroom; stuff Octavio couldn’t bear to throw out and instead kept safe in the dresser.  “I know Grandpa is going to flip when he sees you but I know he’s going to be really happy too,” Lulu remarked, rubbing in her aloe for her tentacles as her grandmother washed herself. “How is he? Still the old samurai I married?” Athena asked. “If you mean stubborn in his ways but still lovable than yes and then some,” Lulu joked. Giggling, Athena replied, “That sounds like him. From the photos he doesn’t seem like he has aged much. That’s the X-trace for yah.” “True. He still holds up like bear and fights like a samurai,” Lulu giggled.

Once done, the two went to work on dinner as Kane took his own bath. Taking the leftover vegetable soup out of the fridge, they decided to make it into a beef stew as the cooked the beef in the crock pot while heating the soup and then pouring it in with the beef to let it sit and cook. As they sat in the kitchen as Kane came out of the bathroom, noise from the front door could be heard. “That’s them. Grandma, hide in the laundry room till we tell yah,” Lulu spoke. Nodding, Athena took to the laundry room next to the kitchen and hid in one of the corners out of sight. As the door open, a tired Octavio and Precious walked in. “See why I don’t deal with dealers in Inkopolis?” Octavio spoke. “Ugh, I have never met a more ridiculous dealer in my life. Never again!” Precious replied. “Hi Grandpa!” Lulu spoke. “Hi Mom!” Kane stated. “Evening you two. Hope your day was more enjoyable then ours,” Octavio spoke. “Ugh, what I would give for a drink right now,” Precious moaned as both of them took a seat at the table in the kitchen. “It’s been…interesting. Has Sako told either of you anything?” Lulu asked. “Other than just telling me not to worry about the alarm system and that they have it covered, no. Why?” Octavio questioned. “Well, because we kind of need to talk about that,” Kane replied. “Hmmm? Kane did something happen today while we were gone?” Precious questioned. “Sort of Mom. Nothing bad but it pertains to all of us,” Kane replied. Confused, Octavio asked, “Lulu, baby girl, what is going on?” “A blast from the past Grandpa. One that is here to stay and one I think both of you will be very happy to see again,” Lulu replied with a smile. Looking at each other then back at Lulu and Kane, Octavio and Precious were confused. “You can come out now Grandma,” Lulu called out, confusing Octavio and Precious even more until shock fell on their faces when Athena walked out of the laundry room. Things went silent as the two got up and walked over to her, not sure if what they were seeing was true. “Hi Vio. Hey Funny Bean, did you two miss me?” Athena said, hold arms out. “Mom? Mom is that really you?” Precious questioned before grabbing onto her and holding her mother tight. “It’s me Funny Bean. Oh, how much you have grown. I’m sorry for being gone so long,” Athena stated, holding her daughter close. “Mama, I should be the one saying sorry. I’m the one that wasn’t there when you needed me. I’m sorry Mama!” Precious whimpered, tears now rolling down her face. “It’s okay sweetheart. It’s okay. Mama’s here now,” Athena replied. Finally letting go, the two women looked at Octavio, who was still in shock, just standing there. Walking over to him, Athena grabbed his hand and gave it a soft kiss. “Hey. It’s me. You’re not seeing things you old samurai. I’m here. I’m sorry for leaving you alone for so long. Can you forgive me?” Tears rolling down his face, feeling the warm of Athena’s fingers on his hand, Octavio scooped her up and spinning her around before kissing her. Holding her close, his knees hit the ground before loud sobbing could be heard from him. Not letting her go, Athena nuzzled into Octavio shoulder, entwining her fingers in his tentacles as Precious watched, tears still her face. From the bracing from the kitchen to the living room, Lulu and Kane stood before looking at each other and giving a fist bump.

After getting Octavio and Precious to calm down, Kane and Lulu explained everything over dinner. “Mom you have a lot of catching up to do. So much has changed. So much advancement. Including the medical field. There are probably better medications for you now,” Precious stated. “I know sweetie. But it will be an interesting experience,” Athena replied. “Honey, how are you handling all this? It’s a different time than what you know,” Octavio asked concerned for his wife now alive again. “I’ll be okay. It’s strange but I’ll get through it. I’m not alone and I have new family now to help me through things,” Athena replied, Kane and Lulu smiling at her remark. Finishing dinner, the family sat down in the living room to chat and figure out how they wanted to go about things in the morning. They knew it was best for the valley to find out sooner than later about their late queen returning from the dead so to speak. Figuring it best to give an announcement in the morning, the family retired to bed early. Having less and less troubles with her nightmares, Lulu took to her own bedroom for the night as she had been for a while as Athena took to bed with her husband and Precious and Kane went to their new rooms downstairs.

In the morning it was like trying to fight a bear for Athena to get out of Octavio’s sleeping grip. Starting breakfast but not use to the pans having Teflon on them, she almost threw the eggs off the pan when she realized they weren’t sticking to it. The smell of breakfast woke Lulu up as she walked in the Kitchen and proceeded to help her grandma out before she set something on fire. In time the others got up with Kane and Lulu trying to comfort Octavio and Precious from their thoughts that what happened yesterday was just a dream. Breakfast finished and ate; everybody got dressed in formal attire to have the meeting and announcement done. “Oh Lulu, you look in my robes. Fitting for a future queen,” Athena cooed. “Thanks Grandma,” Lulu chuckled sheepishly. With everybody ready, the family left the house and arrived at the palace mostly unnoticed till Octavio gave word of the meeting and the announcement of the returning queen. As Octo Valley watched from their TV’s, most were quite shocked about what happen with Athena’s return. But as the day went on, most settled in on the return of their late queen and were happy to see her again as most knew this needed to stay quite from outside eyes of Octo Valley. Cuttlefish, who as word got to him, came down and welcomed an old friend back with warm arms with his granddaughters to let them meet Athena. As days passed things just went back into place and routine as Athena got use to things. Greeting the whole family in the morning with breakfast, she gave goodbyes for the day to her husband and daughter as they left for work and would either help Lulu and Kane with their studies as they stayed home for the day or give them goodbyes as well as they left to practice and play turf wars till lunch time. Her day spent doing what most mothers do. Clean the house for the family, organize Octavio and Lulu’s music equipment and music sheets from Octavio’s unorganized chaos of a music room, wash clothes and dishes, tend to the crops, and other small chores while taking her own time to work on her singing again. As Athena found out, Precious was right and better medications were out there for her. She became less sickly than what she once was and having more energy now, liked to go out and about more with her family and enjoy time with them. Nobody minded as Lulu and Kane got to more about their grandmother and found someone else to play with them with their video games. She also became someone else to stand up for them besides their mother about playing turf wars and Precious didn’t have to complain anymore about the messy house. Octavio was probably the most content out of all of them as he had his family completely whole again. In all, the Entra family was happy as the future seemed bright for them as one mistake brought a part of the past back to them.
