★ — LOVE LIES.

ASHER: pinky promise

PERSEPHONE: and you will talk with melissa.

ASHER: if we survive the war, then i will.

PERSEPHONE: promise it.

PERSEPHONE: you need to start taking ownership of your decisions.

PERSEPHONE: well, don't blame it on your parents, cause these ones, are your decisions.

ASHER: i wasn't blaming on my parents.

PERSEPHONE: then stop.

ASHER: i can't help it.

PERSEPHONE: so you won, asher. There is no one else for you to push away. Congrats

ASHER: it's a habit of mine.

PERSEPHONE: Melissa, me, our kid... Who else is next on that list?

PERSEPHONE: I am both

ASHER: i understand

ASHER: you could not like me right now, but you’ve been wanting this for centuries.. a kid of your own

PERSEPHONE: okay asher.

PERSEPHONE: and we will, we will have tons of kids, for centuries.

PERSEPHONE: this one, this one is ours. yours and mine.

PERSEPHONE: we are at war, asher. a war i caused, a war that can bring death to creatures that were under my care and i can't fight because i'm pregnant.

PERSEPHONE: i'm scared and i'm not prepared for any of this and hades is my husband and i love him but he doesn't understand.

PERSEPHONE: you can't leave me alone, not right now.

ASHER: i just need time to process all of this

ASHER: to really see if i'm ready for this next chapter in my life

PERSEPHONE: no. i don't want hades for this job.

PERSEPHONE: i need you and i'm going to have you.

PERSEPHONE: i'm a goddess, asher, and if i have to follow you. i will.

ASHER: i don’t feel for this

ASHER: you are

PERSEPHONE: no, you are not doing that.

PERSEPHONE: you are not allowed to leave me alone in this.

ASHER: you’re not alone

ASHER: well, first, i need to see if i really want to become a part of this before i talk to her.

PERSEPHONE: part of what.

ASHER: a part of the kid's life.

ASHER: like you said.. it's a living, breathing baby.

PERSEPHONE: i tried to be patient, but that's it.

PERSEPHONE: i'm not even human and i have seen friends, i know what a break means. you were gonna get back together, she asked you for some fucking time.

PERSEPHONE: me? i was single. i was done with hades and you know what? i still said sorry. a million times, till he heard me.

PERSEPHONE: because this is a baby, asher. a living, breathing baby. another life changing thing that you have throw over her without any fucking warning.

PERSEPHONE: and above all, she is speaking to you. i know she spoke to you in the ceiling, i know she is not ignoring you. and that's a lot fucking more than i got, or for what matters, i would give you.

PERSEPHONE: so if you love her, if you ever loved her, stop being a kid and say sorry until she listens. or i'll torture you until you do.

PERSEPHONE: cause i'm the mother of your kid. and your best friend, so suck it up.

PERSEPHONE: now tell me, is there any reason why she should apologize?

ASHER: no one said anything about apologizing

ASHER: and why do i need to apologize? me getting you pregnant happened when we weren't together.

PERSEPHONE: asher.

PERSEPHONE: for the pregnant thing, asher.

PERSEPHONE: now. how many times have you tried to apologize to her?
