Hello! I decided I was going to do both! I couldn't resist these one-shots the more I thought about them! Anyway, for those of you who don't know, or didn't read the summary, this is a serious of one-shots on the birth of the Heroes' kids, hence 'When Heroes Are Born'. The pairings are:

Percy/Annabeth

Jason/Piper

Leo/Reyna

Frank/Hazel

Travis/Katie

I can add more, but that's all I've got for now. You may send in requests, that I may or may not do. For you see, I do not do things that are out of character! Like Thalico for instance! Thalia is a Hunter, Nico is a loner. That's final. If you want Nico in one, you'd have to PM me an OC for me to use (Obviously, if one or more people send in an OC, I'll pick the first one sent in!). If you choose to send me an OC you must state their name, whether they are mortal or demigod, if demigod who there parent is, and what they look like (Obviously, you have to say who they are paired with!). I can manage and create a character centered on that.

I will most likely also do Connor Stoll with my own OC, Jaycee Carter that some of you will recognize from my story, And We Thought We Were Normal. :) So, no using Connor. He's mine!

And I don't do slash either! Or, if they're a virgin goddess or something, got it? They are virgin. They are not going to throw it all away for one mortal guy, alright?

Okay, I think I got everything out of the way except...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus. All Rights to Rick Riordan the genius behind it all. Cause if I were him, do you think I'd be writing this?

When Heroes Are Born

PERCY AND ANNABETH

A simple day did not turn out to be so simple at the Jackson residence in the city of New Rome. It was only a visit to the beautiful Camp Jupiter, but Praetor Reyna had insisted that they own a place in New Rome for their visits, or if they ever decided they wanted to live here permanently.

Annabeth Chase Jackson and her husband Percy Jackson were twenty-three and loving the fact that most monsters were in Tartarus or in hiding, afraid of what might happen to them. And they never wanted to bother Percy much anymore, knowing how he had kicked Kronos' butt (at least they thought he kicked the Titan Lord's butt. They didn't know all he did was give the host of the Titan a knife), and how he had lead an army of seven against Gaea and won (with the help of the gods).

Percy had known Annabeth was pregnant since she had been two weeks into the pregnancy. Originally, she had been too scared to tell him. It had been so early into their marriage, and Athena-reluctantly-had gave them her blessing. Annabeth had been so scared of Percy's reaction to the news, and she'd been horrified at what Athena would do when she found out.

But Percy always had a way of finding things out, and he naturally misinterpreted what he had overheard Annabeth telling Thalia over the phone, and she had to tell him.

So, now, into the last month of her pregnancy and the child due in a couple weeks, Annabeth had convinced Percy to take a couple days off of work and head out to New Rome, Camp Jupiter in California.

The couple had woken in the early morning, as the golden sun streamed in through the window, blinding them as they opened their eyes to a brand new day.

Percy shifted in the bed, wrapped his arm around his wife, and kissed her hair.

"Morning, Wise Girl," He mumbled into her blonde curls. He then proceeded to rub her stomach, when the baby kicked his hand.

"And good morning to you, too!" He laughed, talking to his son or daughter. The two had decided to be surprised about the gender of their baby. If they were to have a baby boy, they'd name him after the fallen hero and friend, Luke-and, surprising enough, it was Percy's idea.

If it was a girl, they were to name her Silena, after the brave daughter of Aphrodite. They originally weren't going to name their child Silena if it were a girl, certain that Clarisse La Rue Rodriguez would name her daughter (when she had one) after her friend, but when they couldn't think of any better names and asked, Clarisse insisted that they name her Silena if it were a girl.

Annabeth laughed. "Good morning, Percy."

Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand and squeezed it as she slowly and carefully got out of the bed. But as soon as she was standing, she didn't feel all too well, and rushed for the bathroom as fast as she could. She made it just in time to throw up into the clean, pristine toilet bowl. Percy came over to her at the same time she straightened herself, and wiped her mouth clean.

"Annabeth, you okay?" He asked, his eyebrows scrunching together in concern for his pregnant wife.

"Yeah, just…not feeling all too good. Nothing to worry about, Seaweed Brain," She answered, though she didn't sound all to convinced of that. She just wanted her husband to stop worrying about her for once.

Percy raised an eyebrow at her quizzically. He nodded, though not believing her one bit. Annabeth put on a brave face though, and stepped out of the bathroom, pushing past Percy, and heading for the kitchen.

"What do you want for breakfast this morning, Percy?" She called to him. He chuckled as he walked into the kitchen.

"Oh no, I'm making breakfast today!" He smirked.

"Really? Cause last time you made breakfast, you nearly burned down the apartment."

"I'll be more careful this time! I promise! Please?" He begged. He even got down on his knees, and hugged her around the middle, looking up at her with wide eyes. She couldn't resist the look he was giving her. It reminded her of what Puss in Boots does in the movie Shrek 2 when the cat takes off his hat.

Her willpower crumbled. "Fine!" He got up and kissed her cheek as she rolled her eyes. "But I get to oversee you doing all this!"

Percy stopped. "No way, Wise Girl! Breakfast is a surprise!"

"Then you don't get to cook. You need supervision, Seaweed Brain."

"No I don't! Not for what I'm making, anyway."

"Well, what are you making?"

"I'm not letting you know that easily!" He kissed her again and headed for the fridge. Annabeth, obeying her husband's wishes, walked out of the kitchen and went over to the couch in the living room, grabbed a book off of the shelf next to it and started reading.

Fifteen minutes had passed when Percy called Annabeth over for breakfast and Annabeth looked at the clock and realized how hungry she was. It was now 5:45 in the morning exactly as Annabeth got herself up off the couch and walked towards the smell.

Percy smiled as he spread out his arms for a hug. "Happy Husband's-Make-Their-Wives-Breakfast Day, Annie!"

Annabeth laughed as she gave him a hug. "One, that's a made up holiday. Two," Annabeth pulled away from the hug and slapped his arm as she said sternly, "Don't call me Annie!"

Percy smiled as he rubbed his arm and now forming bruise.

"Sit down, Wise Girl, and enjoy breakfast."

Annabeth scowled, but obliged to sit down and looked at what Percy had made. He had found blue food coloring somewhere in the cabinets and had dyed the scrambled eggs blue, tinged the beacon blue as well, even dyed the milk blue.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow at him, laughing at his crazy antics. Every now and then, she'd cook blue as well, just for fun, but she didn't do that every day like Percy would. Percy sat down next to her and together they started to eat breakfast and chatted as they ate.

Annabeth was only half-way done when the baby kicked, and pains and contractions started. She dropped her fork onto her plate and placed a hand on her stomach, eyes nearly popping out of her head.

"Annabeth? What's wrong?" He sounded worried. She just looked him in the eye, and he got the message. His eyes widening as well, he got up quickly, grabbed his coat, and helped her stand up. They stepped out onto the clean streets of New Rome at 6:03 A.M. and few people were out and about.

Annabeth groaned in pain and gripped Percy's shoulder tightly. Percy looked around for someone who would help him get Annabeth to the local hospital in New Rome. His eyes scanned the streets when they landed on four people he knew well.

"Jason! Piper! Reyna! Leo! Help!" He called. The four looked over from the coffee shop manned by the two headed immortal that Percy always forgot the name of. With one look at Annabeth, Piper and Reyna got up immediately and scrambled over as fast as they could.

Jason and Leo just glanced at each other before following their girlfriends over.

Reyna and Piper started steering Annabeth towards the hospital that was a few minutes' walk away. Percy quickly followed after, Jason and Leo jogging up after them.

Jason reached Percy first.

"What's going on, Percy?" Jason asked, curious. "Did something happen to Annabeth?"

Percy looked at him, eyes still wide. "Dude, she's pregnant and the baby was due in, like, a week!"

Jason's eyes widened as Leo smiled.

"Congrats, man! Bubble Boy's now a big daddy!" Leo smiled crazily. Jason rolled his eyes at his best friend's craziness.

"Ah, c'mon Sparky! We all know that once you and Piper are married for at least a year, you two will be going through the same thing! Might as well take notes from the Bubble Boy himself!"

Jason blushed a deep red. "Leo! This is serious!"

"I know," was Leo's only reply as they rushed into the hospital.

An hour and a half later, Annabeth was asleep in the hospital bed as a nurse, a young lady in her mid-thirties who looked like she was in her late teens, came walking in silently. She walked over to Annabeth and shook her shoulder lightly.

"Mrs. Jackson," The nurse whispered. Percy, who was sleeping in the chair beside his wife's bed, stirred awake and blinked a few times before he saw the nurse standing there.

"Oh, Mr. Jackson, you're awake! Good, could you wake your wife? I can't seem to do it."

"Sure," Percy yawned as he got up. He kissed Annabeth's cheek and she smiled.

"Annabeth, wake up," He whispered, and her eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Thank you, Mr. Jackson," the nurse smiled, laughing slightly.

"Mmmm," Annabeth groaned as she woke up slowly.

"Mrs. Jackson?" The nurse tried again.

"Yes…?" Annabeth droned, longing for sleep after that painful experience. She remembered Percy blacking out before she had fallen asleep herself.

"Would you like to see them?" She smiled a wide smile. Annabeth and Percy's eyes widened at the word 'them', while Piper, Jason, Reyna, Leo, Hazel, Frank, and Nico sat in seats around the room excited. Hazel and Frank were notified by Reyna, and Hazel had managed to get and Iris Message through to Nico.

"Them?" Percy and Annabeth asked simultaneously.

"Yes. You had twins!"

After Annabeth's vigorous nods and 'yes's to see the babies, the nurse went to go get them. She and another nurse came in with two little bundles of blankets.

The red-headed nurse who had trouble waking Annabeth handed the dark blue bundle to Percy, and the brunette handed the light blue bundle to his wife.

Percy and Annabeth glanced at each other before pulling back the blankets enough to see each babies face.

Percy held in his hands an adorable little baby girl, who he could already tell would have his jet black hair, but with Annabeth's curls, and her grey eyes.

Annabeth cradled in her arms the wonderful baby boy, who opened his eyes slowly to look at her. And as he stared at his mother, and she stared right back, grey met the kind and gentle sea-green of the baby's father.

Annabeth had tears in her eyes as she smiled down at the child in her arms.

"Mrs. Jackson, what do you plan on naming the children?" One of the nurses asked. No one knew who asked, for all were mesmerized with the two legacies.

"Luke Charles Jackson," Annabeth choked out. "Luke Charles Jackson and his twin sister, Silena Sally Jackson."

So, I forgot to mention that these are just a bunch of one-shots, which I'm sure you've noticed, but still, what do you think?

Next Pairing is...*Commercial Break!*
