Hades stood up ready to leave "My flower, why don't you give the children their baths while I go and take care of the conditions of the underworld." Hades said but stopped as Persephone grabbed his wrist.

"No, don't go my Lord. I have never been so happy in my time with you than I am now. Please stay. Just for the bath time then you can go for your work" Persephone requested.

Hades looked into her deep brown eyes and smiled "Very well, my dear. This is only for you" Persephone smiled and gave him a peck on the lips.

Cara and Persephone changed the two children into swim suiuntamed carried them to the bathroom with Hades in pursuit. The bathroom was quite vast with magenta tyled floors and walls. Stygian black bathtub, sink and taps with rubies on it. Crystalline water flowed in the bathtub filled with bubbles and sweet smelling oils. Various bottles and viles of soaps, shampoos and oils lined the walls and an elegant crystalline mirror hung on the wall.

The children of the Underworld jumped into the bathtub and immediately a full on water fight surged. The two women had the sense enough to protect themselves with a water-protection spell but unfortunately Hades was too late as waves of waves doused him, head to toe.

The two women giggled at the predicament of their king and handed him a towel. Hades grumbled something's under his breath and took the towel, drying his face. He flicked his wrist and is robes dried and this time he had a shield around him as well.

The two children squealed in delight with every wave of water they splashed at the other. Persephone sat at the edge with a beaming smile gracing her features, she said gently "Now love, that's enough. Let me wash your hair and Cara will rub the soap on you"

The two stopped and had their 'mother' massage the shampoo in Bianca's hair while Cara applied soap on the boy's back. Hades stood their watching the two friends clean the kids as the little munchkins played with the foaming, bubbly water. The blew bubbles to one another as the two women laughed.

Hades heart swelled with happiness. He and Persephone had been happier than they had been since their time together. His wife and children were happy. After such a bloody war with so many deaths and heartaches he had finally received happiness.

Nico playfully took a light dive in the shallow water and popped up next to Bianca making her jump. If the Queen had not been surrounded by a shield then she would have been soaked, she chuckled with Bianca at a bubbly and foamy beard and moustached Nico who grinned.

He scooped up foam and smudged it on her face. Instinctively, Bianca did the save and another war began as the wrestled with each other. The King and Queen laughed together at the children and their antics.

As though their laughs had triggered something in the children, the two moved towards their parents and handed them soap and shampoo with innocent eyes. Hades and his Queen looked confused but shrugged as Nicoo got his hair shampooed by his father and had soap applied by Persephone. Unknown to them they had a plot in their minds...

Hades awkwardly massaged his son's head when he grabbed the bubbles and rubbed it against his face with Bianca doing the same and water being splashed on them and being pulled into the bath tub. Sure, the king and queen were stronger and older than the children but the slippery wet floor made them lose their balance and the royalty of the underworld laughed in the bathtub.

Their laugh echoed across the chamber but Hades stood up andpulled Persephone out of the tub, grinning. "My dear, why don't you and Cara finish their bath while I go clear as much of my work I can till breakfast"

Persephone nodded with a smile as Hades left.

Their bath was finished by the two immortals and had them dried up in fluffy towels and dressed up for breakfast. The Fates know what catastrophe awaits at breakfast?
