Ok so I got a request for a story of Claire and Mia's births so I decided to go with a oneshot because I wanted to honor that request but I'm a little too lazy to crank out a story...curse my laziness. So this is for the request...please no flames and if this this similar to another story out there I apologize...so anyway let me know how you like it and I promise to update Breaking Point soon I lost the flash drive it was on and I found it just recently oddly enough in my pillowcase...weird huh? So please no flames. RawR and enjoy and I hope this fills your request...~RawR :D
We hated each other, we really did, this was never, ever supposed to happen. We happened to be drunk, he was still hanging out around the completely wrong people, and I will admit I'm not exactly proud of what happened that night. Ok so we did something stupid and we ended up having to pay the consequences but hey in the end everything ended up working out for us in the end.
"Thalia please come to the party." Annabeth begged me.
I looked at her, "Why, what's so great about this party that wasn't existent in the other parties?" I asked.
"You need to have some fun once in awhile." Annabeth reasoned with me.
I looked at Annabeth, "What's that supposed to mean, I have fun all the time?"
"Come on Thalia I promise this one will be fun." Annabeth begged.
I sighed, "I'm not going to a party."
"Why not?" Annabeth challenged, "I bet you can't even give me five good reasons."
"Luke's going to be there, Luke's going to be there, Luke's going to be there, Luke's going to be there, and lastly Luke's going to be there. I think that's five pretty good reasons not to go." I smirked.
Annabeth rolled her eyes, "For the love of Zeus Thalia, you two used to be best friends! Come on you're going."
She pulled me out of my cabin and started to drag me out to the woods where the party was being held. Soon enough the sound of blaring Miley Cyrus could be heard and I sighed. Another party with stale beer, shitty music, and last Luke Castellan. Yeah the gods decided that it would be a good idea to give the moron a second chance. Honestly I thought they were being stupid because he was ok for about a month and then he started hanging around with his little goons once again. So basically he killed any chance of forgiveness that he ever had coming from me.
The moment we got to the clearing where everyone was running around and dancing or drinking beer out of red Solo cups. I didn't really want to deal with anything and I tried to stay on the outskirts of the event. That's when he walked over with two plastic cups full of beer.
"You looked lonely, thought you could use some company and possibly a drink." he grinned.
I took the beer he offered me but I didn't say anything to him. It was obvious that he'd already had a couple drinks because usually he wouldn't just come over and talk to me like this.
"So how have you been lately?" he asked with a small upturn of his lips.
"I've been good. How about you?" I asked before taking a long sip of beer.
Luke smiled, "Good. Hey we're actually talking."
"Nice observation Captain Obvious." I smirked.
"I try my best." he smirked right back.
Soon enough we were both fairly drunk and making out in my cabin. Luke pulled me closer and kissed me roughly, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do this."
I shivered as his slightly cold hand caressed my cheek to my neck pulling the sleeve of my dress with it. Why on Earth was I letting this happen? I didn't say anything as he kissed my shoulder lightly nipping it slightly causing me to shriek in surprise. Luke chuckled and soon enough our drunken make out session turned into something else.
"This is a terrible idea." I muttered.
"Completely terrible." Luke smirked against my neck, "This idea is completely terrible."
"That's what I just said moron." I giggled very uncharacteristically.
Luke smashed his lips into mine before we made a terrible decision that would completely change the course of our lives. It was the decision that changed everything completely.
The previous night's events were coming in kind of blurry but as I looked around and realized where I was everything came flooding back to me in complete clarity. I looked around and spotted a pair of boxers, that of course belonged to me, and then a Green Day shirt, which belonged to one person. I mentally groaned and dared myself to look over at the sleeping figure next to me.
Oh dear Zeus! Who was going to kill me once he found out I had slept with his daughter. Thalia rolled over and curled into my side. Had I wanted to screw Thalia? Well you could say that it was only a minor thought when she was brought back to life after being a tree...of course I've been wanting to do this! We were supposed to hate each other. This definitely doesn't look like hate to me. So what did I decide to do? I did the one thing I knew best; I ran.
I struggled into my boxers and jeans quickly before throwing my shirt on. I snuck to the door quietly and turned back one last time to look at Thalia. Her feet were uncovered by the pale blue sheets, she was covered from the knees to the top of her chest with one arm lightly draped over her chest and then other under her head. The sun hadn't even come up yet and my siblings were all asleep...well all except for two little brothers of mine who were sneaking back into the cabin carrying the shoes much like I had been.
They looked at me, "Where were you Luke?"
"None of your business." I muttered.
"You were with Thalia weren't you?" Connor smirked.
"You were screwing your ex's twin sister weren't you?" I asked mocking his voice perfectly.
"In fact I was and Travis was screwing Katie Gardner." Connor smirked.
"Don't tell Thalia." I muttered.
"Scout's honor." the both smirked holding up their hands in the traditional scout's honor. They must've been boy scouts or something.
Two Months Later
I woke up one morning about a month after the party feeling violently ill. I ran straight for the bathroom just as the contents of my guts spilled into the toilet. It was a wonderful way to spend my morning. This wasn't the only time that this has happened though and it was beginning to drive me nuts.
"Thals you in here?!" Annabeth called. I could hear the door close behind her.
Annabeth and Percy were already expecting twins because they went and did something stupid that they shouldn't have done...actually most of my friends were having kids...Jason and Piper already had one set of twins and were now expecting another set. So I liked to pride myself that I was the only one not having children...my gods even Nico had kids...looks like someone settled down from his wild party days. Then again we were all in our twenties now...
"I'm in the bathroom!" I called before another attack caused me to throw up once again.
"Thalia are you ok?" Annabeth asked. She was already showing a baby bump.
"Not really but it'll pass." I sighed.
Annabeth looked at me and then at the unopened box of tampons on the counter.
"Thalia when did you buy those?" she asked.
"Umm two months ago." I shrugged.
"And you haven't used any of them yet?" Annabeth asked.
I shrugged not thinking anything of it. Ever since I became a huntress my periods have always been whacky and when I quit it didn't seem to get any better anyway.
"Thalia how long has this been going on?" Annabeth asked referring to the sickness.
"Umm for about a month...oh dear gods please don't tell me you're thinking I'm pregnant?!" I exclaimed.
Annabeth nodded, "Thals think about it, you were complaining about a brand new pair of jeans not fitting you right, you've been eating a ton lately, you asked me for pickles and ice cream the last time you were at my place for movie night, you're only sick during the mornings, and you haven't had a period for a month possibly longer."
"Annabeth there's no way...oh my gods!" I groaned.
"Who was it?" she asked.
"Luke..." I trailed off.
Annabeth looked at me sympathetically, "Thalia...look you don't need to tell him, Percy and I will be there for you."
I looked at Annabeth, "Thanks Annie but I think Luke should know."
Since that night at the party when Luke and I apparently had sex Luke had started dating a chick named Erin a daughter of Eris whom I couldn't stand and vise versa.
Later that day I sought out Luke after having taken three different tests to make sure that I was absolutely pregnant. Spoiler alert! I was. I found him down at the beach with his stupid buddies Ethan and a couple other scumbags who weren't exactly the best people in the world. Erin was plastered to his lap.
"Castellan!" I called.
Luke's head shot up and he kind of pushed Erin off her lap which earned me a death glare from her. I shrugged and Luke jogged over to me.
"What do you want Grace?" he asked with a sneer.
"Can I talk to you over there?" I asked jerking my head toward the lifeguard tower.
Luke looked back at his friends and then shrugged, "Just make it quick ok."
"Trust me I don't want to talk to you just as much as you don't want to talk to me." I muttered as we walked over to the tower.
"What do you want?" Luke asked irritably.
"Well you know that party two months ago?" I asked him.
"Yeah what about it?" Luke shrugged.
"You know how you sort of screwed me and then left before I woke up?" I asked with a smirk.
"Yeah, what about it?" he asked impatiently.
"Well you forgot to use something important and now you're going to be a daddy." I said with a smile.
Luke's jaw dropped, "Thalia are you joking? This isn't funny!"
"Why the hell would I joke about you knocking me up?" I asked sincerely.
"Thalia what are you going to do about it?" he asked.
"Well obviously I'm going to keep the baby and you're going to stay out of it's life because I have all the help I need." I shrugged.
Luke frowned, "That's not fair to you..."
"It's not like you were going to be any help anyway." I shrugged, "You're skank isn't going to like this."
I left him there with his jaw hanging to the ground. I was going to handle this. This wasn't going to defeat me.
How the hell could she tell me this kind of news and then tell me that she didn't want me being any part of the life of my child? I took a deep breath before knocking on the door of Thalia's cabin. A tried Jason answered holding one of his daughter...I think it was Summer but I wasn't sure for all I know it could have been Autumn.
"Is Thalia here?" I asked.
Jason shook his head, "Umm no she just went for an ultrasound."
"How long has she been gone?" I asked.
"She just went to the infirmary." Jason shrugged.
I took off at a sprint to the infirmary and hastily asked the daughter of Apollo where Thalia was. She took me back to a room where the doctor was spreading a clear goo on Thalia's stomach that was slightly bloated.
"So where's the father, usually they want to be here for the first ultrasound?" she asked Thalia.
"The father's right here." I said before Thalia could answer.
"Well it's nice that you can join us..."
"Luke Castellan." I said.
Thalia looked at me skeptically. The doctor smiled, "Looks like you two are expecting double trouble."
Thalia's mouth dropped open and I grinned. I was going to prove to Thalia that I was going to be the best father these kids could possibly ever have. I wasn't going to let them grow up without a father.
Over the next few months Luke was completely insane and super protective of me. If anything was possibly slightly dangerous he wouldn't even let me go near it even if that meant Ms. O'Leary who wouldn't harm a fly unless Percy told her to.
He broke it off with Erin and started hanging out with the right people again. We had found out that we were having twin daughters and Luke even got a house away from camp. So he was constantly working on the nursery for them. We agreed that we liked the names Claire and Amelia and everything seemed perfect resulting in tattoos of the other's name and a marriage proposal. We got married at camp, it was a small ceremony. It was a month before the twins we due but hey it worked right?
The twins were born on April first at three in the morning and Luke was instantly in love.
We had the girls for about three months and the day they were born Rachel spewed out another prophecy concerning our daughters. Thalia was heartbroken. "Thalia we have to keep them separate and as far away from camp as we can." I whispered one night as we watched the girls sleeping in their crib.
"I know." she sniffled.
I pulled two lockets out of my pocket, "The silver one is for Amelia and the gold one is for Claire."
"We'll give Claire to Rachel. Rachel will be able to help her with the spirit of Delphi." Thalia whispered as I clasped the locket around Claire's neck. Claire looked like me and Amelia looked like Thalia.
"Amelia will go to Grover and Juniper." I whispered, "She wouldn't have any one better to take care of her than those two." I clasped the other locket around Amelia's neck.
Thalia picked up Claire and I picked up Amelia. We wrapped them in blankets and kissed them each before we took them to their respective homes. There was no way that I was going to let Kronos get to my daughters. I wasn't going to let them go through the same hell that I went through, that their mother went through. I loved them too much for that to happen and I love Thalia far to much to make her go through that ever again.
