Enjoy! :) disclaimer: i don't own PJO P.S. you guys can skip this chapter if you want. Nothing really happens in this chapter. it's just about the kids birth. (:

It was a chilly day in New York City as snow fell lightly on the big city. In a local her park, sitting on a park bench, was a 16 year old girl with spiky black hair, piercing and dark clothes. She hasn't changed much in the last ten years since the battle of New York. Unlike all her other friends were now in their twenties and married with a family of their own.

In her arms lay a blond haired boy. He slept peacefully, feeling safe in the girl's arms. Two girls played in the fields as the boy slept. the dancing brown haired girl with electric blue eyes and the blond haired girl with kaleidoscope like eyes who sang as the other girl danced. Of course, they weren't her real children. She was just taking care of them for her brother and sister in law as they were on a quest for Chiron. Not that she mind of course, she loved her nieces and nephew and would do anything to protect them, but she was worried about all the monster attacks that had happened recently in the past few days. Plus, she was not only worried about them, but also for her own unborn child still growing inside of her, soon to be born in a few months.

Yes, for she was pregnant with a child of her own, you see, her becoming pregnant was not her choice. Aphrodite had made her pregnant by making the girl drink a potion. The potion had contained the girl's blood and his blood, which were poured on a moon lace flower that Hecate had put a spell on. Drinking it made the girl pregnant, but still a virgin. Why did Aphrodite do it? Well you see, she took pity on the girl (since her life was one of the best tragic romance story she's seen in years) and decided to mess up her life a bit.

Anyway, back to the present, the dark haired girl looked down at the sleeping in her arms, his electric blue closed. "He looks so much like his father" she thought. The girl thought her nieces and nephew were lucky to have a father to grow up with since her wouldn't have one. The father of her child had died ten years ago at the battle of New York, sacrificing himself to stop the battle. He was a traitor before through, a monster that had ruined peoples lives and had done many terrible things but despite it all, she had still loved him. And yeah it's pretty pathetic, but when she thinks of him, she thinks about how he was before the fates had separated them, before the day when she "died". The girl closed her electric blue eyes, letting the memory of a cold winter night overcome her, the day when she kicked out of hunters.

Flashback:

it was a normal night at the hunter's campsite as Thalia Grace, lieutenant of Artemis and daughter of Zeus, was called by Artemis to her tent. Phoebe, a felly hunter, walked besides her as they both walked to their milady's cabin. As they walked, Thalia couldn't help but think that today would be her death. I mean, what's the use of a lovesick and pregnant lieutenant anyway?

"You nervous?" Phoebe asks as they stopped in front of Artemis's tent. Thalia looked down at her stomach and rubbed her unborn child protectively, fearing what Artemis might do to it. "A little"

Phoebe gave her a smile, one of the pities she felt for her. "Don't worry, you'll be fine" Thalia knew she was just saying to make her feel better but it didn't. Out of the hunters, phoebe was the one trusted the most. After all, she was the one who found out Thalia was pregnant in the first place

"Thanks" she said, giving phoebe one last hug before entering the tent, knowing that will probably be the last she'll ever see Phoebe again.

Artemis was sitting in a sliver foldable chair with a deer with golden fur and silver horns rested in her lap when Thalia entered the tent. Waiting to be punished, she kneeled down before the goddess. "Look at me, my dear sister" the goddess says. Thalia looked at her. The moon goddess was in the form of a young lady in her early twenties, a form she's only in when she's says something important.

"Thalia, you have been my lieutenant for over ten years now" Artemis begins "And for every year, you have served me faithfully and greatly. Except for a few minor incidents, I am nothing but pleased by you" Thalia beamed from the compliment since receiving them from any Olympian (including her father) were very rare. But the feeling is gone as it came as Thalia remembered the real reason why she was here

"Thank you my lady"

"But I believe our journey together was ended"

Immediately, Thalia bolted up from her seat "My lady, I can explain-"but Artemis gives her a hard look and her protest dies in her throat as she sat back down miserably

"Thalia, I understand that letting go of your loved one is not easy and I know that you becoming pregnant is not your fault. Do not be afraid that you have angered me, for u have not since u haven't done anything wrong"

"So you knew all along?" Thalia asked

Artemis touched the girl's cheek affectingly "yes my little lieutenant, I knew. But do not worry, for I will not hurt your child in any way. But im afraid the hunters might. Knowing most of them, they'll probably try to hurt both you and your child so I suggest not telling any of them of this"

"Have I…disgraced you my lady?"

"Thalia, there is nothing disgraceful about loving someone or bearing a child. Love is a strong feeling my child and sometimes, you can't stop it from happening" as Artemis spoke this, her eyes were full of love and regret, as if she's gone through this before." Now go my child, you are to leave at dawn. I wish you good luck my sister"

"Thank you lady Artemis" with that, Thalia lefted Artemis's tent, her silver coat of immortalality and blessing of Artemis fading away behind her into the cold, winter night.

Thalia snapped out of her memory to see her two nieces facing her

"Hey guys, what's wrong?" she asked, looking around for monsters.

"Aunt Thalia, there's some people who keeps staring at us" whispered Jasmine, the youngest of the two. Yep, there were a group of monsters, Cyclops to be exact, staring at them with a hunger look in their eyes. Looking at them reminded Thalia of the time when she was captured by one in the past along with him.

Thalia quickly got up and told her nieces to get their stuff and go to the car. Once they were in the car, she sent a lighting bolt down on the Cyclops, killing them and turning them into piles of golden dust.

July 15th

Sunlight streamed into the hospital room as the smell of disinfectant filled the air. Sitting on the bed was Thalia with something in her arms. Her dark hair fell gracefully over her shoulders and her blue eyes shined with happiness as she cooed over her new twins.

"Hey Thals" A voice next to her said.

Startled, Thalia jumped before glaring at man next to her bed. He was handsome with his tan skin and blonde hair. His scar on the left side of his face was goneHe wore jeans and a T-shirt. She scowled at the nickname. She hated it.

A smirk ran across the man's lips, "Sorry, did I scare you?"

Thalia glared at him, "what do you think you idiot?"

The man smiled, showing his pearly whites and sat next to Thalia on the bed. She scoot over to give him some more room. The man gazed down at the two bundles in her arms with his eyes filled with love. He took one of the bundles from her and gazed down at his daughter with a tender look on his face.

"They're adorable Thalia", the man says, looking down at their daughter who had stretched out a bit and had opened her electric blue eyes that were the same as her mother's. "She looks just like you."

"Yes, but she has your hair" Thalia says, looking at her daughter's thin layer of blonde hair. She then looked down at her newborn son, who had also stretched out a bit and opened his blue eyes that were like his father's. "I bet our son will be just like you when he's older."

The man smiled, "You mean just as handsome and charming like me right?"

"More like a idiotic flirt" Thalia laughed as the man's smile melted, turning into a pout. "He'll probably pout like you too" she added, causing the two babies in their arms to giggle and Thalia to laugh harder, "See, they even agree with me!"

Then Thalia smile melted, "And what I meant before is that...they'll probably die a hero's death...like you"

"Thalia..."The man's lips turned downward as he looked into the sad eyes of the one girl he loved. She had already forgiven him for everything after the war but he knew that the deep scars that he caused years ago would never heal. Those scars will dull away and heal in time, but they'll never go away. He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arm (the one that's not holding the baby) around her shoulder. Her head fell on his shoulder as the two fell in silence, enjoying their last time together. Only the giggling sounds of the newborns broke the silence before the man spoke,

"Hey, have you named them yet?'

Thalia shook her head, "No. I wanted to do it together"

"Thalia...you really shouldn't have" the man said, "You should've done it already."

"As if Luke" Thalia says, "They're your kids too you know. And besides, I wanted to you to have as much time with them before..." she left that last sentence hanging. Luke nodded, knowing what she was about to say. Before you leave again. Luke stared into her eyes before grabbing her face and bringing his lips to hers, kissing her.

"Tyler" Luke said, after they pulled away.

"What?"

"For his name" Luke says, "I always liked that name so.."

Thalia smiled at the blonde man, "alright. And what about Luna...for the girl?" she asked. Luke nodded and grinned, showing his pearly whites again.
Thalia turned to boy and girl, hugging them close. "Welcome to the world Tyler and Luna Grace." She planted a kiss on their foreheads.

Not knowing what the fates had in store for them.
