"It was just as much my fault as it was his Tartraus. I shouldn't have slept with all those other men I did, nor should he have slept with any of his girlfriends. As far as Cronus goes he knew it was going to happen anyway sooner or later, we all get overthrown, the only ones who willingly left the throne were Mom and me, but even when I steped down we forced Uranus into it. We'd been ruler of Olympus for a long time, honstely I was sick of it." Gaia relaxed into her big brother's arms, resting her head against his shoulder. "The power starts to lose it's appeal after so long. I was sick of never seeing my kids, or my husband. They were and are still more important than power."
"Tar he didn't do anything to me I didn't deserve. When I almost slept with Diony or I did sleep with any of the other men I deserved what I got. The last time he hurt me and I didn't do something that deserved it was a long time ago. He has every right to be upset with me and to be doing what I did with diony and all the others. When he had his mistresses I wnet back and did the same thing to him. It was just a vicious cycle we got ourselves into. Our marriage is just messed up."

"Well then end the cycle." Tartarus listened steadily as she spoke. He did not agree wtih her. One ill turn didn't deserve another. She and Uranus were both wrong and they had ruined something beautiful. Marriage was a sacred thing yet all the others treated it like a joke. He just shook his head as he looked up at the ceiling of the theatre. Maybe the answers were there
"Well Gaia I love you if that helps anything." If only she could know how much. He was careful to hide the passion in his voice though there was a little catch at the end

“How? It’s not like he’s ever going to be faithful, and I can’t divorce him Tar. We’ve been married for going on three millennia as much shit as he pulls he’s still my husband. You don’t just get divorced because of stuff like this. It’s mutual mistakes but not anything serious. Hera would have been a single woman a long time ago if you divorced over things like this.” As much as Gaia hated to admit it she had thought of divorce quite a few times.
Smiling Gaia disentangled herself from his arms standing up. “Of course it helps.” She bit the inside of her cheek her gaze moving from his face to the ground. She shouldn’t have said that… "Tar... I shouldn't have said that I... I'm sorry."

"It's quite alright. I should never have said I loved you, but this air outside my home makes me bolder, and a chained heart begs to be released." Tartarus stood as well and walked behind her. His arms snaked around her and he smiled and he nuzzled his face into her hair. He grinned knowing what he was doing was so wrong, but he had no desire to be right. How could she not have enough reason to divorce? Cronus had been the only partly faithful husband on the mountain and he was locked in prison. Hera and Gaia both deserved better than their lying cheating husbands
"If another man offered you the world...would that be enough dear Gaia?"

She smiled turning around in his arms slipping her own around his waist. “A chained heart? You make it sound as if you’ve been pining away for me all this time. You could have had your pick of the mountain and you pick the mother of forty plus children who looks like a whale? You could have had Nyx if you tried when we were younger, now I’m not so sure she is quite in love with that husband of hers but” Since she’d had the babies Gaia knew she wasn’t in the best of shape even now that it had been a few years since she’d had the last one. Those last few pounds she’d gained during the pregnancies never did want to go anywhere.
“Perhaps.” She said despite the fact Gaia knew she’d never leave her husband, she wouldn’t leave Uranus for the world, as much of a bastard as he was, as much as she hated him at times, he was still and always would be her husband. Gaia was waiting for the bottom to fall out of all of this, just as it had all the other times. She knew her husband would kill her for this the only time he hadn't was when she’d had Erichthonius, the half snake baby she’d had with Hephaestus. Even then initially he'd been ready to kill the boy until they'd explained how the baby had come about. That had been the one illegitimate child that wasn't actually in reality Gaia's fault.
"But why would you pick me? I'm married more importantly I've got more kids than most of this moutain combined, I'm not exactly the best catch on the moutain anymore Tar, I never was really. That was Nyx."

"Gaia I have loved you since we were children. You were always the one for me and I can't deny my heart anymore. I deeply and truly love you and I only wish your heart didn't belong to Uranus. You are still just as lovely as when we were kids. Besides Nyx and I were never right for each other, but if you are set on your husband then I will take my broken heart somewhere else." Tartarus let her go and turned from her. He felt hopeless but he knew he could bounce back. This was his fault for not acting sooner, for not taking Gaia when he had the chance and now he would have to live with that mistake forever

“He doesn’t hold my heart Tartarus. He never will not after what he did to me, and our kids.” Loving him came more out of habit than it did of actual attraction it seemed anymore. “He’s my husband and in a way my son but that’s all he is anymore.” She said staring at the ground. This had happened too many times she loved Uranus but it wasn’t enough. “Why didn’t you ever tell me? If you’ve loved me that long why didn’t you tell me when we were younger that you loved me?”

"Could I really have told you back then? Do you remember how shy I was? I could barely talk to you at times let alone spill my heart to you. Then I was given my own personal prison to keep and I couldn't ask my beautiful sister to live in that hell hole with me." This was more than Tartarus had ever spoken but he felt like his chest would burst if he didn't get it all out. He sighed and looked down at the ground as he walked away from her.
"I'm sorry I never told you but it never seem the right time."

“By then I’d made Uranus remember, Mom would have killed me if I didn’t marry him, even if I’d wanted to go with you and knew I couldn’t have gone. Wasn’t long after that I had Arges, Brontes, and Steropes triplets tend to take up most of a person’s time especially when their father seems to be allergic to diapers, and bottles. With all our kids I still don’t think he changed more than about ten diapers in his entire life.”
“We both made mistakes, I should have listened to Nyx and not went ahead and made Uranus before I thought about you and Eros.”
