Hey readers! Sorry for not posting in forever, as you can tell I am rewriting this series. I feel that I would be better if I wrote more details and had more time for the Percabeth development. But I won't be deleting the origanal, unless if you guys think I should just cancle that later. I hate it when Authors do this too, but usually your first draft will never be the final, so this version with be long and more of Percy being a younger prince, and more Nico and Percy friendships.
Being a God has it's responsibilities and conflicts. Well, when I met Sally Jackson I had conficts with my responsibilities, but I think we both know how this little predicament led to. Yup, a son!
A beautiful, magnifacent, fantastic, amazing, wonderful, son. One who will be my right hand man and proof himself to the gods. Sally and I couldn't be happier, but while I was with her I started forgeting my duties; I was becoming human. And for a God, that was really bad; well that's what Zeus says.
I didn't listen to my arrogant older brother. After my heir was born, I let Sally hold him for only minutes. It wasn't my fault, I could sense that monsters had picked up him scent and were on their way to my family. The gorgeous woman sitting infront of me understood, she just made me promes that I would update her on our son and what he was up to. I agreed of course, how could I let the woman of my dreams forget our lovely child?
That day I promised myself that I would train him to be the best warrior to walk the earth. I would not let my son down and I will personally make sure that he is supplied with any thing that he needs. He will be the luckiest demi-god ever, because I will love him and be there with him.

Do you know how hard it is to take care of an infant? Well, very hard. I am taking my son to the River Styx to become almost invinsable. His Achilles spot is the small of his back. In that moment I had a little chill run up my spine, I just felt weird. Maybe it wasn't so smart putting in at his back. I don't know but I had a feeling he would be fine with that spot there.
Remember when I told you that it's hard to raise and infant? Yeah, you know like I told you this maybe ten seconds ago? Yeah well imagine trying to calm your poor little prince while he feels like his flesh is being burned off his tiny fragile body. I don't want to give you the details to the heart clenching experiences watching my baby suffer when he did no harm.
After I took him out of the river, my brother was next to me smiling. I have a feeling he was smiling at me and my son's pain.
"He sure is something," Hades admired.
"He is the prince, my baby boy," I smile. I look to the bundle of joy in my arms. He opens his dazzling green eyes and looks up to me. He is still sniffling from sobbing from the the dip in the river. After a while his gaze shift to Hades, he breaks into a grin and starts laughing. Hades and I smile at his reaction.
I turn my head to see my brother admiring my child. Like if he wishes he had something like that. I gesture to him to hold Perseus. Hades looks to me like I'm crazy, maybe I am but I think everyone deserves happiness, even for a little while.
He slowly reaches for Perceus a gently picks him up.
Perseus just keeps smiling and laughing at this situation; totally oblivious of our location in Hell.
Hades cradles him in his strong arms and begins to rock Perseus side to side. I wish I had a camera to record this moment, to remember my brother actually smiling; at something other than human suffering.
"You know, I never felt this before," Hades said with a confused face.
"What do you mean brother?" I can't help but be curious at my brothers behavior.
"You know . . . actually caring for something. Especially something so small, and not mine." He looked a little disapointed.
"You do know, you can have your own?"
"Yeah, but what Zues say? You know how he likes being the boss, the head honcho." Hades stated gloomly. I nodded.
"But I broke the promise, and so did Zues. Maybe I'd stick up for you when things get ruff with Zues." I know this is weird behavior, but maybe it wasn't so bad Idea.
"Wow, I can't belive this little boy," he gestured to Perseus, "can bring us together like this. It's nice, and extraordinary. If you tell anyone about this, you will be sorry." Hades stated bluntly.
I smiled in response, maybe having a son was the best thing that happen to me. Correction; he is the best thing that could ever happen to me.
