Who: Hestia and Eris.
When: Now.
Where: Eris' room.
What: A secret has been revealed.
Rating/Status: TBD/Incomplete.



Was she surprised? Not in the least. Her relationship with Remus was mutual and they acted more as best friends than as lovers. There might have been a spark at some point in their relationship. They took care of one another, they supported and loved their children harmoniously as parents. But as lovers, Hestia knew something was missing. Hestia often used her work as an excuse to stay late or to evade from any situation of having to deal with one another and how they should have been. It was her fault as much as Remus' and that was something she would have to deal later on her own. But as for now, she was going to see her daughter who had been keeping this to herself since she had first arrived.

Hestia was now Hestia Jones but her daughter would forever be Eris Lupin. That would never change and it was something Hestia would never want to change.

Hestia ran as fast as she could to her daughter's room, keeping the tears within herself. Her daughter came first.

"Eris!"

Opening her door, Hestia rushed and gathered her crying daughter into her arms.

"I'm so sorry baby."

Eris had hit a nerve and it cracked Hestia's core of steel. Tears started to roll down her cheeks as her daughter spoke harshly about the situation. "For the record..we didn't try for you. We tried for us. We knew we'd be good parents to you both, that wasn't the issue." Hestia turned around and wiped the tears away.

"And maybe it wasn't your father who didn't try hard enough."

It hurt. She couldn't look at her own daughter, not like this. "Don't be angry at him for something that was not in his control. But I'm not going to lie to you and say that everything was fucking perfect, Eris. Nothing is perfect but fuck us for trying, right?"

The tears started to pour and the most Hestia could do was hold her breath to keep any more from coming. Looking up at the ceiling, she closed her eyes and breathed slowly.

"What else aren't you telling me?"

That was the problem with being so much like someone, you knew how to say exactly the wrong things. She hated that she'd made her mother cry, hated that she'd had to be the one to break the news that had caused this whole conversation to begin with. He should have been here. He should have had to take responsibility for this, not her. But he wasn't here and she and her mother were all each other had by way of actual family.

Frowning, she closed her eyes and bowed her head for a few moments, not saying anything else that would break her mother because that was the absolute last thing she wanted to do.

After a stretch of silence, Eris finally replied, "Nothing." Voice quiet, secretive and distant.

"You're lying."

It was more of a snap more than anything and Hestia had to bite back her tongue from saying anything further. With a low hiss, Hestia turned right back around, looking as if she hadn't cried at all. "I'd like to think I know my own daughter better than that." In two quick steps, Hestia looped an arm around her daughter's waist and pulled her close.

"Don't be angry at us for not being perfect. Merlin knows I'm not."

Planting a kiss on the top of Eris' head, she tilted her daughter's head up by her chin.

"Now could you please stop lying to me?"

"I'm not angry at you," Eris mumbled, and it was true. None of the reasons why she was angry had anything to with something her mother had done. "And I don't want to talk about it anymore." Which, wasn't a lie, really. She couldn't really remember exactly why she'd had questions in the first place or what good she thought might come from talking about things she never wanted to talk about, anyway.

She didn't want to shut her mother out but it was an inevitability when she was shutting unwanted emotions out, too.

Letting out a breath, she said, "I miss Bran. But I don't even know if I want Dad to show up here now."

Hestia respected her daughter's wish of dropping the subject. She didn't need Eris blowing up on her more than once in one day. "I miss him too." And then she paused. After a brief moment of thought, Hestia spoke once more. "I wouldn't mind if your dad showed up here. And I know you would want him to be here...he is your dad." It was nice to have a mother around, but Hestia knew what it was like to grow up without a father.

"I'm sorry, for what we put you and your brother through."

Eris honestly didn't know if she wanted her father here. What if he got here and he wanted to get to know all the Teddys? Or that other French wench with the Lupin name? What if he liked them better because they had magic? She couldn't even cast Lumos without Tau's stupid staff. Shrugging she said, "I have you here, that's all I want."

Shaking her head before resting it on Hestia's shoulder, she said, "You didn't put me through anything bad." If there was one thing that was true, it was that, no matter what, she was always going to be on her momma's side.

"And I can't imagine your father putting you through anything bad either." Feeling the weight of Eris' head on her shoulder, Hestia leaned in more to give her a hug.

"We'll be fine here. I'm not leaving you and in the mean time you find your happiness here, you hear me? I'm already proud that you're so fiercely independent and almost as badass as I am, but...I want you to be everything you are...here."

Hestia meant it. She wanted the world for Eris and if that meant sacrificing a few things, she'd do it.
