Chapter 26

Percy POV

"Answers. Now." Grover said in a deathly calm tone. When neither Me nor Thalia did as he asked or demanded depending on how you look at it Grover started to turn read with rage "You better talk now".

"Fine but you have to swear not to tell anyone." Thalia said.

"That's fine by me." Grover said muttering a quick oath. Thalia to my surprise decided to open up first "Umm well as you can see I'm pregnant, it happened a few weeks ago with my husband…".

"Your Married!" Grover blurted.

"Well don't acted to surprised." Thalia said causing me to snicker.

"No. No. It's just that you took an oath of maiden hood and now you're married and with child, who's the father, how did Artemis take it." Grover said.

"Well to answer your first question Nico's my husband, we got…" Thalia started but stopped just as fast when Grover shot me a seriously pissed off look. "What." she asked.

"A little while ago me and Percy got the feeling you had a crush on a boy so we made a bet on who it was. Percy guessed Nico and I guessed Leo but now I'm finding out he had inside information.".

"First off me and Leo seriously?" Thalia asked, Grover shrugged "Second when did you two make this bet?" Thalia asked.

"The day after I got back from my first date with…" I paused to look at Grover "My wife.".

"Okay so the deal was made before he even knew about me and Nico." Thalia said "Now both of you get over here." As soon as we were within reach Thalia punched both of us at the same time which hurt a lot "That's for making a bet on my love life." she said.

"Ok so who is your wife and why wasn't I at either of your weddings?" Grover asked rubbing his arm.

"You weren't at the weddings because there wasn't any, when a god or goddess get married it's final as soon as the girl says yes." I replied hoping Grover would forget his other question but the look on his face quickly dashed that hope "...Fine I'm married to Artemis.".

Grover went wide eyed before he fell to the floor laughing "If you didn't want to tell me the truth you should have at least made it a plausible lie." Grover said still laughing.

"Make what plausible?" Artemis said walking in.

"I'm so going to make you pay for Lying to me." Grover said before turning to Artemis "Percy has apparently gotten married but instead of just telling me who he said he married you.".

I gave him a peeved look while I gave my Wife a quick rundown of what she missed "Well it's a good thing he didn't lie then." Artemis said giving me a quick kiss.

"what…where…how" Grover started to say before I added that Artemis was pregnant causing him to faint.

"Well why did you go and do that?" Thalia asked.

"Two reasons, it will give me time to figure out the best way to tell him everything because let's face it I technically both dated and married his crush and because now I can hopefully go grabbed a little breakfast." I said heading for the door.

Artemis POV (1 month later)

We had left camp half blood about a month ago right after Percy explained in length our relationship resulting in what was probably the funniest friend to friend chat I've ever seen as Grover simultaneously cried at his loss, congratulated Percy and me, and tried to kill Percy...half heartedly of course.

Samuel and the other illegal born left camp later that day. Every once in awhile I would get a little note that appeared in a small puff of flames from him saying that he was all right. I made him promise to do this before we even left camp or else I would ground him from the day he was born till he turned 1000.

We also had an unexpected event happened about two days after we left camp. We found a small faction composed of about 30 or so earth born and I decided we should just take it out before it could grow any more. All in all it was pretty routine we ambushed them, caused complete chaos, and killed them.

The unexpected event was right at the end when the last earth-born threw a truck sized rock at Luna. She dodged it for the most part but I distinctly saw her arm get crushed. Naturally me and Percy shot over to see if we could save her arm but instead found water collecting on the stump where her arm used to be which then took the form of an arm and even took on the same shape and color as before. Tentatively I grabbed her wrist and was shocked to feel a pulse

"Is she alright." Phoebe asked from behind me. "Yeah I'm fine." Luna said, and I shot her a look that said 'we will be talking about this later' before I let Atlanta take a look at her.

As soon as we got back to camp I called her into my tent "I know what you're going to ask." Luna said.

"Then why don't you explain it to me." I said.

"Okay but first could you change your age it feels kinda weird that my mom looks younger than me." Luna said. I sighed and switched to my 20 year old form.

"Better?" I asked, she nodded.

"Well you know how first born are more in touch with their parents domains." she started, I nodded "Well sometimes unexpected abilities emerge, since dad is a sea god I can turn my entire body and clothes into water and back. It comes with its own dangers of course, if I were to evaporate I would die, and if I get too spread out it could cause permanent damage." She said nervously rubbing her head. 'huh just like percy' I thought.

"Does Sam have this ability too?" I asked.

"No, he has a different ability." Luna said "He can uh how do I put it, he can become a wolf.".

"Come again." I said stunned.

"I know how you feel." Luna said "I nearly fainted when I saw him do that for the first time, but there is one bonus to it. While he's in his wolf form he can use his eyes all he wants without his power going out of control. The down side is he can't use any of his powers while he's a wolf, no water control, or healing, he's just horse sized wolf which is formidable in its own right".

Luna left shortly after that and I looked down at my belly "Samuel please don't be born a wolf if you do Apollo will never let me live it down." I said to myself

Present

I woke up in my tent and stretched 'where's Percy' I thought noticing the empty space next to me 'that's weird usually I'm the first one up' I absentmindedly started rubbing my belly. Even though it had only been a month me and the other girls already looked to be around 3 or four months pregnant with the exception of Hazel who was due any day now.

I quickly slipped some cloths made by Aphrodite that made, which actually magically hid my pregnancy, on and stepped outside where Percy was having an intense argument with his father who flashed out as soon as he saw me. "What was all that about?" I asked.

"Triton made contact with my father a few days back." Percy said "Apparently he wants to talk things out.".

"What's so bad about that?" I asked. "I don't have a problem with that, it's more the fact that Triton wants them to meet in Alaska and he wants him to come alone." He said emphasizing the last part.

"If he runs into trouble we won't be able to flash to him and he will have no way of letting us know." Percy said clearly frustrated "But he just won't listen, even Athena can't talk some sense into him.".

"We'll just have to trust him." I said.

"I know, I know.". He whispered.

Poseidon POV

I had a lot of time to think as I walked to the meeting spot with Triton. Yes there were some dangers with me going to the land beyond the gods but I would have my son there with me. No matter how bad things got between me and him I was sure I could count on him if we got attacked. I knew when I went back I was going to be in serious trouble with Athena and Percy but if I could fix things with Triton it would be well worth it.

After what seem like an eternity I finally reached the meeting spot only to find Triton already waiting for me, we decided to meet on a small glacier just off the coast of Alaska. "Hello father." he said in obvious contempt. I sighed 'this is going to be harder than I hoped' I thought to myself.
