A/N: And here it is! The sequel to Father's Day Surprises!
July Surprises
Annabeth, Percy, Athene, and Luke sat on Half-Blood Hill, watching the fireworks. Chiron had asked them all to come to see the show, which now included more fireworks. Of course seven-year-old Athene wanted to come, and so did four-year-old Luke. So, the family of four went to the firework show.
It started off with the normal ones; Hercules, Odysseus, Perseus (the first one) people like that. Then, the newer fireworks were shown. They had finally finished all the fireworks of Percy, Annabeth, and other heroes of their time at Camp Half-Blood.
There were fireworks of Percy's first time playing Capture the Flag (him in the lake…haha) Percy and Annabeth in the Tunnel of Love; fireworks of Grover flying with the shoes Luke had given Percy; Annabeth holding a guinea pig (which happened to be Percy), while dressed up; Tyson making the shield; Annabeth kissing Percy on the cheek after the chariot race (the Aphrodite girls went 'awww!' at that); Thalia and Annabeth fighting the manticore; Rachel, Annabeth, and Percy in the labyrinth; Charles Beckendorf fighting on the Princess Andromeda; Silena fighting her last battle; Annabeth when she had taken the dagger; the statues falling in the battle; Luke dying; and ended with Percy and Annabeth being thrown into the lake.
"Mommy, was that really you? And Daddy?" Athene asked Annabeth.
Annabeth nodded.
"We have a few more fireworks to be shown. Our heroes and heroines of where they are now," Chiron announced.
Another firework display was shown just minutes after Chiron had spoken. There was Percy and Annabeth's wedding, Thalia and Nico's (Where Thalia had a huge baby bump), Travis and Katie's, Clarisse and Chris's…and well, all the demigod heroes from when Percy and Annabeth were growing up marriages. It went on to show all the children of the demigods. It had shown Thalia and Nico's son, which was now about two and a half, Katie and Travis's kids, and so forth. The second to last one was of Athene and Luke, and then what followed was Annabeth, Percy, Athene, and Luke all together. But what made that one so special was something that made everybody look at the small family.
Annabeth was holding another child.
Percy looked over at his smiling wife as the show ended. Everybody clapped, and then looked over at Annabeth.
"When were you…" Percy asked.
Annabeth shrugged. "Heck, I didn't even know." She smiled.
Rachel came over to the apparently-growing family.
"Aunt Ray-Ray!" Luke said, as he jumped into Rachel's arms.
"You saw a vision, didn't you?" Percy asked her.
Rachel nodded. "Yep. Looks like Annabeth's just barely along."
"How would you just get a small vision like that?" Annabeth asked her friend.
Rachel shrugged. "I don't know. It just came to me."
"Well I'm happy about it," Percy said.
"Momma!" Athene said. "Am I going to have another little brother? Or will I get a sister this time?"
Annabeth laughed. "I don't know. Maybe Rachel does, though."
The Oracle just smiled. "Yeah. I do. But I'm not telling."
"Why not?" Athene pouted.
"Maybe Athena will tell you all again. It'd be more special than just the Oracle telling you. Or maybe Apollo will."
"Yeah, maybe, but I want Aunt Ray-Ray to tell us!" Athene said.
Luke giggled at his sister's` pouts.
"I agree with my daughter." Percy smiled.
Luke looked up at Rachel. "Ray-Ray pweez tell us!"
She whispered something to Athene, who smiled.
"Girl?" Annabeth guessed.
Rachel smirked and walked away.
July Surprises
The car ride home was full of baby-talking news. "MOMMY! I GET A SISTER!" Athene squealed.
Luke tugged his sister's hair. "No yelling." He said as he put his hands over his ears.
Percy smiled and looked over at his wife. "So, any names?"
"I was thinking about that, actually. I don't know this time." She said.
"We can think of names later!" Athene yelled from the back seat. "But I want to choose this time!"
"No, Athene." Annabeth sighed. "Sisters don't choose their siblings' names."
"Can I just suggest a name?" she asked.
"What?" Percy asked his daughter.
"What about Silena. She was your friend, right? Mommy told me about how she died as a teenager. Or maybe Piper, after Auntie Pipes!"
Annabeth laughed. "We'll think about it, darling."
"There are so many names to choose from." Percy said.
Annabeth smiled. Her smile faltered soon after.
"What?" her husband asked her.
"Yay. I get to throw up for nine months again." She sighed.

Okay…I don't like that): I'll just sign off the way I normally do:
I love feedback almost as much as Aphrodite loves love.
