Hi KSbrazy17 here, and this is a story about the son of Artemis that my poll chose. I'm not going to spoil the father who is not a mortal. Even though Jay [son of Artemis] has two godly parents he won't be fully immortal until he is old enough. The only thing I will say about the father is that he is more powerful than a Greek god, which leaves primordial, or Norse divine being. I gave a hint of the father in the title. I'm kind of bad on writing descriptions, so I hope it's good enough for you guys to click on. This is my first story, so I hope you like it, please read. Also, maybe a harem, but not Annabeth. I do not own Percy Jackson, and not making money off writing this. All rights go to Rick Riordan. I just made up some of the characters, like Jay.
Chapter 1
The Son of the Mysterious Deity and Artemis
July 1st, 2019 [he will be born on my birthday, even though it's only April 2019.]
Third Person POV
Hunters of Artemis Camp
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH, get this BABY OUT OF ME APOLLO!" This was basically the only thing heard at the edge of the Hunters of Artemis camp in New York. Hours of screams, groans of pain, and threats directed at Apollo the god of the sun, archery, prophecy, music, poetry and healing, the oracle, and destiny. It seems like when the Fates were giving out domains, they saved Apollo for last and just gave him the rest of the domains, that nobody else got.
Here he is helping one of the three Greek goddesses' who isn't supposed to have a baby… do the exact opposite. But despite her now broken oath, here is Artemis the Goddess of the moon, archery, hunting, independence, wilderness, and chastity, giving birth to her child. She was secretly hoping that it was a girl but even if it wasn't, she would love her first child for as long her immortal life was. What Artemis was really worried about, as if her hunters accepted her child, especially if it was a boy. Then there was even if she had the strength to get it out, then adding to hear fears was if her father Zeus would see her child as a threat and kill him. Though all of these problems have great value in how her child's life will go, the biggest one was if the child's father would create a problem. She knew that he wouldn't make their child's life harder than it will be, he would only be a great father. But if people knew who he was, and what the child's parentage is, it could create a problem.
After 9 long months of morning pains, feeling sick, bloated, and the insane but good food cravings, Artemis was ready to welcome her child to the world.
One Hour Later
"Finally,", cried out Artemis as she reached for her newborn baby when a man walked in. He had bright blonde hair, and blue eyes, and even brighter smile, the man had a well-built toned body to match, with a faint six pack showing through his tight shirt. This man was Apollo the twin sister of Artemis.
He walked in the room of his sisters' tent after running tests on his new nephew. Apollo's smile got even brighter when he saw Artemis gasp as she took her first look at her son. The baby had icy blue eyes with a bright silver tint to it. His eyes were gentle but fierce just like his mother. He already had a tuft of dark brown hair, with a tiny silver streak in it on the top of his tiny head.
Apollo asked with a curious tone, just as the baby reached up and grabbed his mother's finger while looking into her silver eyes with a cute giggle, "What's his name?"
Artemis didn't even look up from her baby, as her eyes stared at him with pride. He was her new pride and joy apart from her hunters. "Jason, or Jay for short," she replied with a smile.
"Ummmmm, sis", Apollo waited for her to respond, where she then looked up and nodded looking at Apollo's nervous face. "Two things, one can I bless him", he stopped as he let that sink in as his sister thought about it. As she started to look even more hesitant, he added more to make her say yes, " I always wanted a nephew from you and now that I have one I want something more than to just call him nephew but if you let me bless him with my powers I can call him my champion too."
25% of Artemis said no Apollo just wants to corrupt Jay with his perverted ways. But the other 75% said yes, he's your brother you can trust him, he only wants to be closer to his nephew. So, she came up with a compromise "fine you can Apollo", but right when Apollo started to jump for joy around the room, she made sure to add a threat into the mix to make sure his son doesn't turn into Apollo. "But if you ever try to turn him into a terrible male that beds women every three hours like you, I will castrate you, then feed you to the wolves. It didn't have the effect she wanted because Apollo just grinned which usually meant trouble.
But she reassured him that she meant it by giving him a death glare that she used on many of the men that looked at her. Apollo closed his eyes and chanted in ancient Greek, as a bright orange aura surrounded him, which then drifted over to Jay, who just looked at it curiously with wide eyes, and he tilted his head to the side. After a couple more seconds Apollo's aura started to go down, along with Jay as he stopped chanting. Jay just looked up at Artemis as if he was asking what just happened, but then giggled and cried out "Momma". Unfortunately, it seemed like saying his first word took it out of him, as his eyes started to close. But just before his icy blue silver eyes closed Artemis caught a tiny swirl of orange in the middle signaling Apollo's blessing worked.
Artemis didn't get to think about it much because she was still shaken on how he just said the first word then just went to sleep as nothing happened. Then it hit her, she needed to go to bed too, giving birth to a powerful child had taken the energy out of her. But before she could go to sleep too Apollo said something that woke her up. "He's gonna be a lady killer".
She sat up so fast and glared at her immature brother. But to get out of trouble he quickly said the second thing he needed Artemis to know. "Sis, he isn't a full immortal, it's only 95%. So, he's an overpowered demigod, but he will age a little faster than a mortal." Apollo expected Artemis to be mad, but she just gave him a face that said so, I don't care. But she still asked how. Apollo, Hestia, Zoe, and Hades are the only ones that know about her son, and who his father is, and his father is one of the most powerful deities in the universe, so it didn't make sense. Zoe only knows she is expecting a child. Before Artemis could get her answer, she heard her hunters come back from the hunt she sent them on. Then her eyes slowly closed, and the last thing she saw was Apollo smile and teleport away in a flash of bright orange and blue light. She felt her son Jay snuggle up to her as the mother and son fell asleep together.
Line Break
The Next Morning
Artemis POV
I woke up to the sound of cute snores, and the sight of a cute baby, which sort of made Apollo sound right about him being a lady killer. I smiled as I remembered the contents of what happened last night. So, I felt happiness, then heard her hunters waking up, so my fear of what they would think overcame her happiness. I slowly took my son off her chest, and into the crib, she saw next to her bed, so Jay didn't wake up.
I quickly changed into my hunter clothes and got mentally ready to tell her hunters I had a baby. I don't want him to go to Camp Half-Blood, or Jupiter, to keep everyone else from knowing until I was ready, and I trained my Jay enough. Anyway, I slowly exited her tent to already see my hunters at the table eating breakfast, which consists of pancakes, bacon, eggs, grits, and orange juice. I also saw the wolves sitting at the side eating deer. Then there were the babies who all shared a rabbit. Before she even fully walked out her tent her lieutenant Zoe looked over at her with concern.
Zoe was beautiful tall, with black eyes, with a slightly upturned nose, with copper-colored skin. Along with a single braid of her dark hair, she looked like a Persian princess. I already knew what she was going to ask, so I just nodded. Zoe then stood up, and quickly jogged over to me, before she said
"So, you finally gave birth", she quickly asked but before I could even open my mouth, she asked something again "can I see him". It sounded more like a statement than a question because she had already rushed into my tent in excitement. I followed her and saw her foot turn the corner through the door, into my room. As I walked in, I already saw Zoe leaning over Jay's crib, who was awake. He was giggling madly and smiling up at Zoe with one tooth while playing with her braid. I just smiled at the scene as Zoe looked up at me smiling, but then a face of realization came as she whispered,
"What about the rest of the hunters", she asked, looking back down at the face of the still laughing Jay who seemed to be having lots of fun with Zoe's hair.
"I know, that's why I need your help, I don't know if they will accept him, especially since he's a boy. But I still love him", I replied walking over to Jay and Zoe before continuing, "We can make him the one good male on Earth, he's already the first son of Artemis, Champion of Apollo, and hopefully the first male in the hunt." I picked up my son, as he smiled at me, before letting out a burp, which Zoe and I chuckled at.
"That's not helping his situation", said Zoe trying to make a straight face. I let out a small smile, and said "let's do this", I said struggling to keep a confident voice.
So, Zoe, Jay and I walked out of my tent to deliver the big news. In my head, I was going over all the bad scenarios that could happen. The biggest one was that they would kill Jay, but all of a sudden Jay started to climb out of my arms, and straight onto my head, until he was on my shoulders, and holding my head, holding a one-toothed smile. He didn't get much taller because I was in my 12-year-old form, so to make him feel better I changed into a 20-year-old form. I went from 5'2 to 6'0, I was this tall because I'm a goddess.
As the 3 of neared the table where the hunters still ate, a couple of them noticed us and then noticed the baby latched onto my head smiling. They all then turned toward us, and stood up when basically the third in command Phoebe spoke up and said curiously,
"Who is that boy Milady", if it was a boy older than 10, she would have already notched an arrow at him and said boy with venom dripping off her voice. "Why is he here", she followed up.
"I need you all to sit down for this", was my reply. After they all settle down in their seats, I took a deep breath, looked over to Zoe who forced a smile to make me feel better, then took one final look up at Jay innocently playing with my hair oblivious to what is going on, then looked back at my hunters. With tears already forming in my eyes I looked down but managed to blurt out, "I don't want this child to come between this group, because I love you all like my own daughters. And I know that I'm not supposed to fall in love but I did, and I don't keep ranting, so I'll just get to the point." I finally got the courage to look up, afraid of if they wanted to leave when they found out a boy was joining the hunt. "This boy is my son", I barely whispered but because of their enhanced hearing, they could.
I expected them to go ballistic, but when Jay did his cute giggle, even though 95% of them are over 1000 years old they said "YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY", like children.
