Percy sighed as he walked through back to his cabin after the campfire. Annabeth couldn't come and her cabin said that she was working on something with Nico. He walked towards the Athena cabin to see if he could at least help with whatever it was they were working on. He stopped in his tracks when he heard a sound that was alien to his life at camp.

A baby crying.

"Nico, calm her down!" He heard Annabeth shout from inside the cabin.

"What do you want me to do, Give her a book!" Nico shouted back from inside the same cabin.

A book? What the-, Percy set off running towards the cabin, he opened the door and saw Nico standing in the centre of the cabin with his hands behind him. "Hi Perce"

Percy looked at him confused and glanced around the now silent cabin. "What was that?"

"What was what?" Nico asked innocently, looking at Percy cluelessly.

"A baby, I heard it crying and you and Annabeth were shouting and-"

"Are you okay Percy, maybe you just imagined it?" Nico shrugged "Besides, last I saw Annabeth she was heading over to the campfire to see you?"

"She wasn't at the campfire and her cabin said she was working on something with you?" Percy pressed on.

"Me? Well I haven't seen her" Nico shook his head.

"Oh really?" Percy asked, crossing his arms "Then why are you in the Athena cabin?"

Nico's face went blank as he stuttered an excuse "Oh um… well y-you see I… uh…"

"Forget it Nico, we can tell Percy" Annabeth said as she emerged from behind the door.
Nico gulped and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly "hee, well you see Percy... It's actually a funny story, uh…"

Annabeth groaned "Do I really have to save your un-dead butt again?" Annabeth turned back to Percy "Dead head here decided to have a little fun by raiding books in the Hecate cabin. Apparently he found a piece of magic on one of the forbidden books and just couldn't help himself but try it out"

Nico awkwardly laughed "Yea, you know how Chiron said he was inviting all the Gods over today for a meeting about something"

Percy nodded.

"Well I was about to use that spell in Grover for a prank and well...the Gods sorta 'poofed' in right in between me and Grover and the spell hit him"

"Woah, wait...What was the spell supposed to do?"

"The spell was specially designed to turn satyrs into children by reversing their age growth over a period of two hours" Annabeth said expertly. "The antidote spell is also designed specifically for Satyrs"

"But since the Gods have immortal blood it affected them differently...it made them...younger than it was supposed to-"

"Okay, so let me get this straight. You messed around with ancient FORBIDDEN Greek magic and have turned the most powerful beings in existence into BABIES!" Percy shouted.

Nico cringed slightly and squeaked out "kinda?"

Percy face-palmed "Okay, who was crying?"

"Athena" Annabeth said simply. "Nico almost dropped her"

"She hit me!" Nico defended.

"She's a baby!"

"GUYS!" Percy shouted "Where are they?"

Annabeth pushed the door closed as Percy walked out of the way, showing in her arms, a black haired toddler with intense grey eyes wrapping in an oversized white dress. Athena continued to reach up in an attempt to grab Annabeth's ponytail.

"Yeah, apparently the magic didn't extend to their clothes" Nico said, rubbing his neck awkwardly.

"Wait, where are the other gods?"

Annabeth stepped to the side. Revealing 8 more toddlers playing on the floor behind her.

Percy's heart sank "You have got to be kidding me" He walked forward and picked up a black haired toddler with deep green eyes, smothered in a blue surf shirt. "Dad?"

"Ba!" Poseidon laughed, hitting Percy on the nose.

"Ow, dad!"

Annabeth and Nico laughed at him despite the situation. Then Annabeth jumped away from the babies "Ow! Zeus no, you don't shock people"

Percy laughed and looked down at the toddler. Zeus seemed slightly smaller than the others, which was weird since he was the king of the gods. His dark grey hair reaching his eye brows, just above his hard grey eyes. He crawled around in a long sleeved suit shirt that looked like a dress on him.

"Hey, at least my dad's the calm one" Nico laughed, nodding to the bed where Percy noticed a pale face in the mess of blue blankets, the black hair hanging down over his face and pale arms wrapped around a lump of the blankets, hugging it close to him.

"That's Hades?"

"Yeah, he's actually kinda cute when he's not thinking about death" Nico stated, sitting down on the bed beside his…father.

"Ba-bie san goo!" Poseidon laughed, pulling at Percy's hair.

"Okay, first, OW!" Percy jerked his head back, yanking his hair away from the baby "Second, what the hades are we gonna do?"

The two boys looked to Annabeth, being the daughter of Athena and all. They were shocked to say the least when she shrugged "I don't know, Ancient Greek magic isn't exactly my forte"

"Soooooo….we ask the Hecate cabin?" Percy guessed.

Nico shook his head "This would be way out of their league, the gods of the world are freakin babies for Zeus' sake"

Said child looked up at Nico in confusion "un?"

"Uh, nothing" Nico shook it off "I think we should get Hecate herself-"

"Not gonna happen" Annabeth pointed out "She's in Britain, something about checking a school there…boarwarts or something…no, Hogwarts…Okay, the name doesn't matter. Either way, Iris messages to her have been cut off since she's going into the school disguised as a student to check it out. It's to stop her from being revealed-"

"Well that's just dandy" Percy announced, his voice thick with sarcasm.

"I think we should at least get Chiron in on this…he'd have an idea of what to do" Annabeth announced.


"Y-You…what?" Chiron as, leaning forward in his wheelchair at the three demigods before him.

Nico laughed awkwardly and leaned further back into the sofa of the big house "Well, I sorta turned them into babies…is it really that bad?"

"If by 'bad' you're referring to the fact that the beings who's moods control what happens on the planet…then yes, this is bad"

"Oh" Nico whispered "I forgot about that part"

"But, Chiron, there has to be something we can do, some way to fix this?" Annabeth asked.

"Yeah, you've been here the longest…you have to know so- Oh gods don't touch that!" Percy shouted, jumping from his spot between the two others and running over to the small blonde haired, brown eyed girl in the long sleeve pink dress which was once a jumper to pull her away from the dagger she had been reaching for on the table. Annabeth had guessed that when she was hit, she'd stayed in the form she was in at the time."Aphrodite, that's dangerous, you don't touch those" He told her, lifting her up into his arms.

"Wan shy-ie!" The goddess of love pouted.

"I know it's shiny but-"

"Shy-ie!" Aphrodite screamed and started crying.

"Oh boy…uh…" Percy frantically searched around the room before reaching over to the ping pong table and picking up a ping pong ball "Here, play with this"

Aphrodite stopped crying and looked up from where she'd buried her head in Percy's neck. "shy-ie?"

"Um…no, it's not shiny, it's…uh…cool!"

Aphrodite looked up at him in confusion "Co'l?" He reached out one of her pudgy hands and grasped the ball "Co'l!"

Percy sighed and walked back over to the sofa, sitting down in his previous spot with the miniature goddess of love on his lap. "Chiron, please!" Percy almost begged "There has to be something!"

Chiron sighed and shook his head regretfully "I'm sorry Percy, but there's nothing I can do. The ability to change millennia old gods and goddess' into mere children it's…it's far beyond my knowledge"

"Well then…what do we do?" Nico asked, glancing nervously down at the sleeping god of the dead who was still wrapped in the blanket and was currently using Nico's lap as a pillow.

Chiron once again, shook his head "I truly regret saying this…but I haven't the slightest idea"

"We can't just- Apollo, Artemis no!" Annabeth shouted, handing Athena to Nico who yelped in protest at being moved, and charged over to the fighting twins, pulling the auburn haired girl away from her sandy haired brother and holding her up by her silver jacket (Which had shrunk to fit her for some reason) and her forest green dress which was once a T-Shirt. Yellow/silvery moon eyes glared at her, who knew they could glare at that age? Apollo gripped Annabeth's jeans and used them to pull himself up to his feet and reached up for his sister. His golden sun eyes glancing between the two as he tried not to trip over his oversized white T-shirt.

Chiron reached over and picked Apollo up by the collar of his T-shirt, holding the squirming toddler on his knee.

"Nah, don anna sit!" Apollo protested, struggling against the arm that Chiron had wrapped around his stomach.

"But then…what do we do with them?" Nico asked, passing Athena back to Annabeth as she sat down, holding both goddess' on her knees.

Chiron shook his head "Lady Hecate is the only one I can think of who would know what to do…but we have no way of contacting her, she said she'll be at that school for a year-"

"A YEAR!" The three demigods shouted, startling several of the children who were scattered around the room.

"I'm afraid so. It would seem you have babysitting duty until then"

"B-but a year?" Nico asked "That's…that's crazy, we can't babysit the gods for a whole ye- Ares, stop that!" The demigod was cut off once again as he bent down to pick up the short, black haired god of war in an oversized blood red T-shirt who was laughing in delight as his shrunken metal baseball bat morphed into several different weapons. He lifted him up and sat him on the sofa between him and Percy.

Chiron gazed thoughtfully at the three demigods and then glanced at the gods around the room. "I believe I have an idea. Though I'm not sure how the camp will take to it"

"As long as it means I don't have to change a diaper, let's do it" Annabeth agreed.

Chiron nodded "Well, if we give a child to the cabin of their children, it would mean the work of taking care of them would be divided between the demigods of looking after their parent."

Annabeth nodded in agreement. "Good idea Chiron, but what about Percy and Nico? And Artemis, Zeus and Hera?"

"Well, if Nico and I take shifts with Hades and Poseidon, I think we'll manage" Percy offered to Nico who smiled in agreement.

"Thanks, but if Hades sleeps the whole time like he's doing now, I don't think I'll have a problem" Nico laughed, tensing suddenly when the god of death mumbled and snuggled his head further into Nico's lap.

"Aww" Annabeth cooed, then her face snapped back to normal "Did I seriously just awe at Hades?"

"Yeah, that creped me out too" Percy agreed

Chiron smiled at them "Well, about Zeus, Artemis and Hera, I think we should call the hunters, Thalia is his daughter and the hunters are cared by Artemis as though they were her adopted children, they could help to care for her. I'll send an Iris message"

"Congrats brats" Dionysus, who's been quiet until now, said "You're parents"
