Seeing Celeste lying there in there embrace the Goddesses couldn't believe, they finally had found their soulmate.
Tenderly tracing her fingers along Celestes cheek, Aphrodite couldn't help but smile her most beautiful smile. "Finally we are United." She whispered.
Lilith and Freya weren't any better, the three looked at Celeste with such warmth it bordered on obsession.
Tearing her gaze away, Lilith looked at the other two.
"We must speak about how to handle the situation from now on. I don't know what happened at your pantheon, but the old geezer of mine ordered a hunt." She fell silent before continuing. "The target is Celeste. Our only advantage is, that they only know she exists, not who or where she is. But that won't hold for long."
Aphrodite snorted: "Is he still after you, even after all your rejections?"
"Yes he is, but it isn't as if you fare any better" Lilith answered.
The one they spoke about was none other than the heavenly father, the god of the bible. Unlike how he was portrayed by the church and in the bible, he was quiet the lecherous man and since eons ago Lilith was his prime target and the only candidate to be his main wife.
Aphrodite and Freya nodded. It wasn't easy if you were the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Aside from the countless suitors, who still tried to charm them, for some reason their faction leader decided they should be his main wife. For Aphrodite it was Zeus, but she was still lucky, that he was somewhat restrained by Hera. For Freya it was Odin, who despite his wisdom, couldn't let her live in peace.
And that were only the leaders, let's not forget the rest of the gods, angels and demons. Just like Celeste feared, every pantheon would hunt her.
A long silence began and the three thought of their suitors. After a while Freya came out of her thoughts.
"I think it's clear what we must do. We will train Celeste. She should have some powers, or she wouldn't be chosen by the guardian."
Lilith and Aphrodite nodded.
After their little talk, the three just cuddled with Celeste and eventually fell asleep.

Hearing the sound of my alarm, I groggily opened my eyes and pushed the 'Snooze' button.
In my foggy head I remembered falling asleep with three literal Goddesses, but not feeling them anymore, I came to the conclusion, that everything that happened last night was a dream.
"Being lovebound to the three really was too lucky to be true, huh?" I murmured and slowly got out of the bed.
After making myself ready, I finished the last touch of my makeup. It was my birthday after all and I wanted to be my most beautiful self, even if nobody would see it. Not that I would want that.
Walking to the door I opened it and stepped into the living room. Almost instantly came a loud "Surpri..."
It was cut short, but I couldn't be bothered by that. With an open mouth I watched at the three Goddesses.
"So it wasn't a dream after all." I whispered and stared at the three frozen women.
****
A couple of hours before Celeste woke up the three Goddesses woke up and immediately started to prepare for Celestes birthday.
Despite being inexperienced, the three started. Lilith went to the kitchen and started preparing the cake. Freya went to the storage and searched for the decorations. Finally Aphrodite wrapped their gifts and prepared them.
What followed was utter chaos.
Starting with Lilith. Ten minutes into the preparations the whole kitchen looked more like a nuclear warzone, than remotely like a place to cook. Flour was all over the floor, the counter and the cupboards, with a thin layer over the wall. Sugar, eggs and vinegar mixed to a terrible pulp dropped from every counter.
Lilith herself didn't should have looked not any better, but despite being smeared with the ingredients, her beauty wasn't diminished in the lightest.
Then Freya, she didn't even have such a big problem. It was more her reaction who made the problem bigger, than it was.
She couldn't find the decoration!
Frantically she searched the storage, the living room and the nuclear warzone. Interestingly, she didn't become dirty even in the lightest.
Despairing she sat on the couch next to Aphrodite, until finally she found it. A small scrap of fabric could be seen in a box on the shelf above the TV.
Unbothered by the chaos the other two created, Aphrodite sat leisurely on the sofa and wrapped their gifts. Unlike the other two she was prepared. She had everything she needed. Only one thing was missing.
The damned ribbons for the gifts. As much as she was prepared, she like the other two had a gigantic problem. They all practically worshipped Celeste. She was their light, their hope, their safe haven.
What the guardian prophecised wasn't a forced bond. He simply stated that the three had a soulmate and would eventually meet said soulmate. Well also something about shattering order and so, but that wasn't important. If the guardian had said nothing, then the three would have probably lived just like in the stories.
But because they knew, there was someone who waited for them, they behaved different and mostly didn't leave their temples until Celeste was born.
Or in other words, Celeste was their everything. They were all Yandere in the making.
Finally the three calmed down. Lilith finally made an acceptable cake. Freya decorated the Appartement and Aphrodite found her ribbons.
Waiting for their love they sat together and spoke about their plan for Celeste. How to train her. How to prepare her for the supernatural world. And most importantly, how to kill all the pests, who would bother her in the future. Mainly the male population of the pantheons.
Why?
Imagine a Goddess of Love and Beauty, but as a mortal without powers. The only reason, why the three Goddesses could live mostly in peace, was because they were strong. Celeste wasn't strong, and beauty without strength was a curse in the supernatural world.
****
As they discussed that, they heard the door opening and finally saw Celeste.
Together they started: "Surpri..."
But they didn't get to continue, or rather their hearts didn't let them. They saw Celeste and went blank. She was so absurdly beautiful, the three finally understood, why almost everyone in their pantheons were after them.
In their eyes Celeste was literally beauty incarnate. Sure even before she was divinely beautiful, more so than every other known Goddess, except the three. But now she didn't come near them. She crushed them.
Long flowing golden hair. Big round blue eyes. Perfect makeup, a simple yet breathtaking white dress, that hugged her voluptuous, but not exaggerated body. Long slender legs stood on sexy cream coloured high heels.
Celeste floated into the room like a divine revelation.
