Chapter 14: Hippolyta's Story

After Jason's story, Hippolyta turned to Jason and Diana. "Jason, Diana, come, walk with me," she called.

The twins quickly followed their mother. "Mother, look, I can explain," Jason began.

Hippolyta merely smirked, before settling on a nearby large flat rock. "Tell me about yourselves," she requested.

"I'm sorry, what?" Diana asked.

Hippolyta sighed. "I want to know you, as my children," she admitted. "Those little details, a mother just knows about her children."

Diana and Jason exchanged a glance. "Are you sure about that?" They asked.

Hippolyta nodded. "We knew if we ever saw you again, you would have two grandchildren," Jason admitted.

"Maera and Carlos," Hippolyta murmured. "Reya, her father, did he?"

Diana shook her head. Hippolyta let out a sigh of relief. "Gold, Silver, and Bronze tried," Jason growled out.

Hippolyta arched an eyebrow. "Gaston 1, 2, and 3," Diana replied. "Papa had Mal, Evie, and I, when we hit our teens, we always had to have Jason or Jay or Hadie with us, if we left the house, avoid Gaston's turf, and stick together."

Hippolyta nodded, pulling Diana a little closer to her side.

Diana then asked, "How did you meet Dad?"

Hippolyta closed her eyes, as she remembered.

"It was long ago," she began.

Jason and Diana eagerly sat in front of their mother. "Your father and I had a complicated relationship," Hippolyta frowned.

Diana and Jason exchanged glances.

"Your father and I met, during the days that Amazons and I lived on Olympus amongst the gods," Hippolyta explained. "We snuck around, behind closed doors, hiding our relationship from Persephone and the rest of the gods. When I realized I was pregnant, it became impossible to hide the relationship. Hera was the first to discover it, and ended up helping to deliver the two of you. Hermes took Jason to his family while Diana stayed with me."

Diana looked at her queen and mother. "Mother, I can't leave Auradon, if I leave, Jason and Hadie and Mal and Evie and Uma and Maxine will be separated," the princess admitted.

Hippolyta nodded. "All of your family will be welcomed amongst the Amazon nation, my little sun and stars," Hippolyta reassured.
