Chapter 210 - 2.87 Girl I think my butt getting big!
"Eris? When did you get here? Why do I feel so weird?" Xander said while rubbing his eyes. He looked at Diana and excused himself to use the bathroom.
'What in the literal hell just happened?!'
Diana woke up, saw Eris and immediately realized her body was different.
"Ok Eris, how much time did you manipulate and how long were Xander and I supposed to be sleeping for after that double blessing? My boobs weren't this big before and neither was my butt. What the hell is going on?" She asked, confused and somewhat irritated.
"You grew into a beautiful young adult goddess sweetheart." Aphrodite said calmly.
Diana looked at her confused. "How long?"
"You and Xander were asleep for a year and a half."
"What?!" Xander exclaimed as he walked out of the bathroom, no longer having an awkward situation on his hands.
"Your voice is deeper babe! It sounds sexy!" Diana shouted.
"Wait, a year and a half, so I missed two of my damn birthdays?! What the hell!" Diana complained, folding her arms in disapproval.
"So did I, but don't worry about it, when we get back to Exteria it'll literally still only be two days later. You look amazing by the way, I missed you." Xander said while returning to the couch and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"I missed you too and thank you, you look quite handsome yourself. So wait, we're both 18 now?"
"Yes, you are." Athena said with a smile. "Now for the biggest surprise yet!"
Both of them just laughed.
"So we come to Paradise and ask for help with Diana's visions because she was seeing too much of her future with us, only to be separated for 77 days, finally get to spend a night back together, forced to propose, then give us two more blessings, knock us out for a year and a half, fast forward it because I have time magic, and have an even bigger surprise? I guess not having a god and goddess formally getting married for over 100,000 years has caused my grandparents to go insane!" Xander joked.
"It's actually been over a million, your grandmother was wrong, but that doesn't matter." Athena said with a kind smile.
Eris opened a portal and Diana's parents walked through it, followed by Sora.
"Eye of Chronos: Diana and her family, Athena, My family' Sora thought.
"MOM! DAD!" Diana screamed while running to give them both a hug. "You're still alive and human, right?!"
"Yes, calm down sweetheart. We just wanted to let you know we also approved of this when Athena visited us in our sleep and had a nice talk with Sora and Brie before making a decision. Once we let Athena know, well, I didn't expect everything to happen so fast, but for you and Xander, I guess it really doesn't matter!" Her mom said while giving her a big hug.
"What do you mean for us? What about you and dad?"
"Don't worry about us sweetheart. We're still going to be in your life for as long as we are on Exteria! We will eventually pass on and you'll always be able to visit, so don't worry, ok?"
Diana nodded, forcing herself not to cry. She was so happy but the thought of her parents death was not something she wanted to think about right now.
"Well, have fun and enjoy the blessing. Love you Diana." Her Mother said while giving her a hug.
They both walked over to Xander, gave him a hug and thanked him for being such a great guy.
"Take care of her forever, please." Her mother whispered while kissing his cheek.
"Yes, of course. She's lucky to have both of you." He whispered back.
Eris opened a portal and they walked back through, disappearing into their Exterian home.
Xander had a similar reaction to his dad, but he and Diana were just curious as to exactly what was going on.
"Dad, how come they had to leave so early? Because they're human?"
"Yes, don't want to risk them staying up here and losing out on their life down below by growing older here more quickly. For us, it's kind of irrelevant. For them, an hour could be years off their life if we aren't careful. I made sure to freeze time for them as a precautionary measure, though, so they'll be just fine."
"Oh, smart. Anyway, why are we 18? How's mom and the twins?"
"Everyone's good. We miss ya kid, but we'll be seeing you sooner than you think. I have to go for now, enjoy the coronation and such. Love you buddy." Sora said while hugging him. Xander was almost as tall as him, but six foot 2. He was quite literally right in between his mom and his dad.
Sora walked over to Diana and gave her a big hug. "Congratulations. Thank you for being such a great person. We're looking forward to you joining the family."
Diana blushed and smiled. "Thanks Sora."
Xander reluctantly opened a portal and got to at least see his mom and siblings. He smiled, waved, heard the I love you yells and screamed it back before closing the portal as Sora thought, 'Release.'
"Ok so what's next in this process?" Xander asked excitedly.
"Do you really have to ask that Xander? Shouldn't it be pretty damn obvious by now," Diana laughed while giving him a kiss.
She whispered, "They're going to marry us silly."
Xander smiled and noticed how happy Diana was. He was confused. He knew he loved her, knew they were destined to be married, understood Diana already saw years in the future where they are happily married, but to have it all happen so quickly was just mindblowing.
"Oh, ok, are you good with that?"
"Of course I am silly, I love you and we both have these strange new blessings⦠don't you feel them?"
Xander took a second to think about everything. He was so thrown off by his awkward morning male issue that he didn't have time to think about how he felt. He felt older, stronger, definitely more attracted to Diana but there was more. Aphrodite's blessing made them grow into their full adult god and goddess form and Athena's blessing allowed them to speak telepathically, much like Sora could with his family, they just hadn't figured it out yet. It also gave the marriage blessing that Sora and Brie received, but there were several special surprises waiting for both of them.
"Ok, and now for the next step!" Aphrodite said excitedly.
