It had been a while since they actually had some time alone but Logan didn’t mind. Everything was going to be okay though, Delia was born and he also had Isabelle too. How did he get lucky to have two beautiful and amazing daughters now? Bella was growing up so fast and now with Delia he was going to have two chances to make everything okay. Looking around the kitchen he made sure the food was cooking before he went to the nursery and made sure the two little ones were enjoying their nap. It was good that they were able to sleep and he enjoyed that they could sleep without needing to wake up and cry.
Now that he had checked on them he could make sure that everything he was making for lunch would be perfect. The staff was away for today and he was going to make sure that everything was perfect. Once lunch was close to getting done he went and set the table and got everything perfect. Hopefully Discordia wouldn’t mind this lunch. He was trying to make something Roman and well it was going okay. He was more used to making dishes from other places and not Italian food. Though it wasn’t too hard! He had gotten the recipe for some lasagna and made it. Once lunch was done he plated it and then pulled out the cheesey garlic bread and then finished the table. “Discordia darling, come out lunch is done!”
As any other modern mother, Discordia worked every day really hard. It wasn’t that she was going to get paid for what she did or that she went to an office to do what she needed to do… Well, in fact she went to an office. She worked from Monday to Friday in an office for Mercury at his delivery enterprise. It was a nice thing to work for him, she would never know why on Earth he hired her in costumers’ service! But he did and in a way she was glad for it, she felt that she was doing something good where she didn’t destroy the life or mind of others.
Of course she still worked with Mars and Bellona on the battle field, but she was trying to stay away from those places, she wanted a good a quiet world for her children. Apollo had foreseen other three children in her new family, besides Bella and Delia. So she tried to keep her special skills away from human kind for a while. Of course there were some moments when she simply couldn´t resist to go out and… play. Elections time for example! But she tried to focus on her job.
Because of that, the babies, and Logan’s work also, they hadn’t had enough solo-time for themselves. Yet, they always tried to find the time to be together. That day, by Lunch time more or less, she heard Logan calling her. She smiled and looked at the clock on the wall. She closed and saved all the information on her computer and then left a note on her desk, she was going to have lunch with her family, she would be back to work in two hours.
She walked to her door and opened it, on the other side was already the hall of their house. “It smells good! What is it?” she asked as she closed the door and walked to the kitchen. She smiled at Logan when she looked at him. “good morning handsome!”
Today was going to be a romantic day for them, the children were with a baby sitter that he really trusted and it was just going to be him and Discordia. This was something that he was really excited for, they actually hadn’t had a day off to be together in a while and now was the time. He’d made sure Bella and Delia had everything that they needed before the baby sitter went and took them out to the park. That would give them a few hours, he made sure that she had money to take Bella for some ice cream after as well. Sadly Delia was still a baby so she wasn’t old enough to have ice cream…yet. That was going to be a horrible day for the sitter when she could.
When he pulled their lunch out of the oven he took a deep breath, the recipe was right with the fresh mozzarella thing. Instead of using that bagged shredded stuff he’d used the big clumps of fresh mozzarella. Thankfully he had today off so there was no need to worry about the company right now. They could last one day without him. Unless one of their new pieces of technology got out of hand and he needed to go in.
Finally hearing Discordia coming he made sure that the table was set and walked over to light the candles that were there. Now this was perfect. Seeing her enter the room he gave her a charming smile as he walked over to where she was. “That would be our lunch darling.” Taking her hand he places a kiss to the back of it and leads her to her chair and pulls it out. “Your seat darling.” His eyes find hers for a quick second and he feels that flash of happiness. “Good afternoon beautiful. Did you have fun working?” Walking back to the stove he plates their lunches and brings them over setting hers down first and then his. He then pours her some wine and then fills his glass. “I hope you enjoy it, I found an old Italian recipe online you should love.”
