hi! I was bored, so I wrote this...

-SOS

Frank waved good-bye to his girlfriend Hazel. She was going shopping for a wedding dress with Piper and Annabeth, because their wedding was coming up in a few months. Frank supposed he should be going with them, because Hazel was pregnant and he was the father, but Piper had insisted that he stay away from all the wedding dress nonsense.

He walked into his office in Camp Jupiter. He was the praetor, so he had his own office which connected with Reyna's office through a door.

After reading ten chapters of a book, which didn't take him long, considering he was one of the only demigods without dyslexia, he began to feel something was off.

He dashed into Reyna's office. She was mapping out battle strategies for the war games the next night.

"Reyna? Have you heard any news from Hazel?" he asked.

"No. She did IM me a few minutes ago, but then it disconnected." Reyna looked at Frank. "Why? You think something's wrong?"

Frank nodded. "I'm going to go check on her."

He raced outside and changed into a hawk. He flew over the city, looking for Hazel. Then he found her, in New Rome's hospital.

He changed back into a human and walked inside.

"Hello," he said to the demigod at the front desk, his voice trembling. "My girlfriend is here somewhere. Her name is Hazel. I'm Frank Zhang. Where is she?"

The demigod told him to calm down. She directed him to a room where the doing of crying could be heard.

He snuck inside, trying not to trip over any wires.

Inside, Hazel was sitting up on the bed, looking weak and drenched in sweat, bug smiling. She held a bundle of cloth in her arms.

"This is our baby, Frank," she said softly.

Frank looked at the bundle, and Hazel handed it to him. It was a girl.

"My little jewel," he whispered.

"Uh, Frank, all jewels that I find are cursed!" Hazel hissed urgently.

"Well, this one isn't!" Frank declared.

"Welcome to the world, Julia Zhang."
