PerseusSilver

When the first 2 gods descended, they fell in love at first sight, and the moon god created several roses to gift to the sun god as a sign of his affection.

Those same roses were then passed down to their descendants, mortals, to take care of them.
Roses are usually red, but the first roses exist in different colors, and whenever a mortal pluck one of the original roses, they are blessed with unimaginable power.

A few of the roses have been found, and several others are waiting for their chosen one, but one, in particular, has never even been spotted, the black rose.

Re: The Last Rose

"I can't believe that everyone forced a vacation on me, you kids are the best." Perseus said as Lilith handed Lillian to him

He then held the other 2 and took turns cradling each of them.

As I watch him holding our babies, his face alight with joy, I feel a sense of pride swell within me. The decision to orchestrate this forced vacation wasn't easy, but seeing him now, immersed in the children, I know it was the right one.

He's always been dedicated to his work, pouring countless hours into his goals. But in doing so, he sometimes forgets to prioritize what truly matters.

Now, as I witness the sheer happiness in his eyes as he reconnects with our little ones, I'm reminded that family should always come first. This forced break may have initially been met with resistance, but seeing him here now, embracing fatherhood with such tenderness, I know it was worth it.

It helped him relax and take away the stiffness he had all this time.

"Good job, Buddy." he then praised the fox, "I knew that I could rely on you to watch over them."

"He's too good at it, to be honest." Leilah sighs, "The fox would clean and change the kids with magic while then sleeping right next to them."

"Of course, I would." Buddy replied, "They're just the mini versions of Perseus, I love them just as much as I love him."

"What did he say?" Leilah asked to which Maple translated it for her

"Besides, they are my size, cuddling with them is a very nice feeling," he continued proudly, "So even if I don't like you, I'll allow you to have more kids, the cat was right, spoiling them is the best."

When will I get the chance, I wonder...I don't necessarily need to carry one since we all collectively decided to treat them as our own, but who wouldn't want to carry a child they had with a person they love?

"Sure, here." Perseus handed me Orion while he held Jasmine.

Lillian is with Rosa and Vince, who are watching over the child with the others while Perseus and I are watching a movie and relaxing in the living room. I placed my head on his shoulder and just relaxed and he laid his head atop mine, it was cute...

"I just do, so what's the answer?"

"Well...it could wait just a bit longer, if anything, I rather you have them with Ruka and Maple first."

"That's fine by me, but I just want to know whether you want one between us someday?"

"Naomi's existence does rely on it...but...yeah, I would love to bear our own child one day."

"Jerah would really have complicated feelings when he comes to visit his grandchildren."

"No need to talk about him, currently, I'm with you and no one else."
