Make my Mom Fall in Love with Dad

Hestia peeked through the peephole to see who their visitor was and to her surprise she saw Lance at the other side of the door, not wanting to make him wait Hestia quickly opened the door and welcomed Lance inside the apartment.

"Come in, I'm sorry for not opening the door quickly." Hestia ushered Lance to seat on the sofa but she remembered that Ichigo and Damon was sleeping on it quite peacefully.

Lance was surprised to see his brother sleeping peacefully on the sofa while cradling his nephew. He took his phone to capture the moment.

"I guess we can seat at the dining area." Hestia smiled apologetically.

Lance smiled brightly at his sister-in-law."No problem, I don't want to disturb their precious nap time." Hestia agreed with him and led him towards the dining area. She left him for a bit to bring blanket for the sleeping father and son. Hestia then returned in the kitchen and asked for Lance preferred drink.

"Do you perhaps have hot choco?" Lance asked, he always prefer choco over coffee.

Hestia smiled and nod, she then grabbed two mugs for their hot choco drink. The two enjoyed their drinks in silence. "If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is your purpose coming here?"

Lance looked at Hestia, he smiled when he saw the girl fidget on her seat. "I'm sorry for suddenly visiting without noticed, I thought my brother would have told you that I'll be coming but I guess he was too preoccupied about thinking ways on how to pursue you." Lance chuckled when he saw her blush. Thankfully she wasn't drinking her hot chocolate or else he would probably covered with hot chocolate.

With a sheepish smile Hestia tried to deny Lance's statement. "Me and your brother are still not that close," she was comically waving her hand to explain their actual situation. "We're friends as for the moment." Lance raised a brow at her "friends" statement knowing her brother he won't just settle for just being friends with his sister-in-law. "I swear we are just friends!" Hestia was out of breath the moment she finished her defense. She cringe when she realize how she was overreacting. Her reaction feels like she was denying the truth that she and Damon are actually dating. "You don't believe me, am I right?". Lance skeptical look answered her question. She sighed, putting her head on the table. She doesn't want to look at Lance and show how embarrassed she was.

"I can assure you that my brother is really serious about courting you and being Ichigo's father. I know he can be overbearing sometimes and he often can't express his feelings in a romantic way but if you just give him a chance Damon will surely be a good protector, provider, father and specially a very good lover."

Minutes pass but no one made any sound.

"You still did not answer my question on why you are here."

Lance eyes bulged out from their orbit. He was talking non-stop about his brother but she was just interested about his purpose in coming. Lance smirked. 'Good luck brother, you still have a long way to go before winning Hestia's heart.'

"I'm here to deliver his highness change of clothes."

Hestia raised her head from the table, her mouth was in a 'o' shape. "I thought he was joking." Hestia was so silly to think that the man was joking, she was really hopping that Damon was only teasing her but in reality it was the truth. "Can you convince Mr. Gray to go home?"

Lance laughed at how Hestia addressed his brother, "I'm sad to say that I don't have enough convincing power to help you with your request." Lance smirked when he saw Hestia's defeated look. "My only advice is just be prepared to be pampered and be spoiled."

"But I don't want to be pampered and spoiled!" From her childhood years towards adulthood she was never pampered or spoiled, so receiving such treatment from other people aside from Ichigo is quite uncomfortable for her.

Lance crossed his arm and leaned on his chair, "That's why I'm advising you to be physically and be mentally prepared because my brother is really a stubborn man, once you caught his attention you can never escape from him. Ever!" He doesn't want to scare the poor woman but his brother can really be headstrong, no one can stop him from achieving his goal.

Hestia was now really realizing the extent of agreeing to be courted by such a willful man. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. "I guess you're right but if your brother's stubborn I can also confidently tell you that I too can be strong-willed. So bring it on!" Hestia was determine to not give in too easily, she'll test Damon's so-called love and determine if it's fake or true love. It is only wise to do so, she can't allow Ichigo to experience a broken heart just like what she had experienced before from his biological father. Ichigo's happiness is her top priority.

"Let's cheers to that!" The two clicked their mugs together in agreement. "I agree with you 100%! You should really make him work for your sweet approval. Make him crawl and squirm!" Lance smirked while rubbing his hands together, he looked like your generic villain from any movies.

Hestia laughed evilly. "Any suggestions on what should I do?"

Lance smiled with a gleam in his eyes. "I thought you would never ask sister-in-law!"

"Looks like the two of you are planning something evil."

Lance and Hestia's smirks froze when they heard the oh so familiar charismatic voice. They laughed nervously and acted like fools in front of Damon. Lance stood up to quickly and hit his knee at the table while Hestia dashed away leaving a hot trail of smoke behind.
