Author's Note - First of all, THANK YOU for the reviews. They meant a lot to me, and I was glad that you liked the idea of the story.
Oh and another thing, about Hera. I understand that Hera is portrayed as rather psychotic bitch in the books. But to be honest, everyone has their good and bad sides, and that's just what Hera was. I like the way I portrayed Hera because Hera is kind,caring, and motherly, but she just needs someone to break that shell for her, and that's Johnny. She hasn't had the chance to become all motherly, as all of her children are older. And she is an average mom, at least thats how Percy described her in the Labryninth.
Hope you liked this chapter! Oh and REVIEW(:
Review Replies!
mtwon - thanks!(:
sam - thanks..Hope you like this chappie(:
Meadowshine - yeah, i kinda feel bad for him:(
ProngsandI - me too! I mean Hera isn't THAT bad. She just did what she had to do. Thats all. I mean, she does have her bad moments, wuite a few of them actually, but I think that underneath her persona, there is a kind, caring, motherly person.
sorry not logged in - haahaa thanks(:
Jellybeans - thanks! And yeah, thats one of the couples I was thinking of doing.
goddess of lakes - thanks! I wont abandon this story, i promise.
Mszcheeky - thanks! I really like her character in here too, because honestly. I don't think that she is THAT cruel...Anyway, Yes i will choose some of your pairings (Percy/Annabeth, Travis/Katie, Connor/Miranda, Nico/some random girl) I'm not going to put the hunters in the story, because they wouldn't need to be "good parents" as they are all eternal maidens, and plus that is a LOT of POVs in my story.. Sorry about that, and for Camp Jupiter...Hmm...I'm not really sure, its up to yall..and what you want.
Hermeslittlegurl - haahah mine too! But no one ever wrote it, so i said, "Hey, i'll write one."
rangerlucy - thanks!(:
eMMeD - thankss! Next update will be soon(:
Chiron POV
"So you're basically telling me that we have to start a whole new program, about PARENTING, nevertheless, and this is JUST because Hera found a mortal child named Johnny?" I said, extremely confused.
Hermes nodded "Exactly," while he rummaged through his bag, finding his caduceus.
"Hello Chiron," said Martha.
"Can I eat a pony?" asked George.
"GEORGE!" Martha exclaimed angrily.
"Sorry," George shrugged, not really caring.
The two snakes started to fight.
Hermes glared at them and rolled his eyes, "Stop it you too." He snapped irritably.
The snakes kept quiet, Martha seemed ashamed, and George was smirking.
I opened my mouth, about to ask why he was here, when his eyes widened, "Dammit. I almost forgot this," he said, handing me a folded piece of cardstock with emerald ink on it.
I stared at him, before reading it, my eyes widening the farther I got through it.
Dear Chiron,
This is Hera, and I want you to teach the children from Camp Half-Blood on how to be proper parents. Why? Because I met a despicable mother in the mortal world, and I don't want anyone else to be subject to that, and the only place I can give direct directions, instead of just influencing them to make the right choices, Hecate will make the girl campers, "Pregnant," using the DNA of the 2 campers and Aphrodite will arrange the couples. Both will show them, tonight at the campfire.
In nine weeks, they shall give "birth," to children. Every week stands for the month. Every 2 weeks after that, I shall make the "children," become a year older. More information will be given when we visit, and by we, I mean, Hecate, Aphrodite, and I.
The demigods shall go to work at the "Jobs," we assign them, get a salary, and live in their own, actual apartments, in the apartment complex buildings. Each apartment is the size of a house. Using magic, Hecate made the small apartment buildings look huge.
Everything else would be shown later on tonight at the campfire.
From,
Hera.
I folded the letter, and stuffed into my palm, staring at Hermes with an astonished expression on my face.
He laughed hesitantly; I guess it wasn't everyday you see a centaur confused, before he shrugged, "Gotta go. See you later."
As Hermes left, in the form of air travel, I sank into a chair, my hands covering my face.
I had a lot to do tonight.
Hera POV
I stared at Johnny fondly. His adorable brown hair was messy as though it hadn't been brushed, his emerald green eyes widened as he saw me, and his lips twisted into a grin.
He smiled as he saw me, and I hugged him. He stiffened considerably, and I mentally cursed his bitch of a mother to the fiery pits of Tartaurus, for making her own child scared of mothering touch.
I merely hugged him tighter, and he relaxed as he hugged me back.
We broke apart, and I looked at him with pure love in my eyes.
I couldn't understand how anyone could hate a child like Johnny.
He was just so, so angelic. From his soft brown hair, to his emerald eyes, I couldn't understand on how anyone, possibly anyone could hate him…
His eyes flickered between an emotion of sadness, pain, and hope. I assumed he was sad because of his mother, pained as he actually trusted her, and hope that I would make him feel better. He finally decided on hope, and I gave him a gentle smile.
Johnny smiled, his green eyes flashed with life, which was eradicated the day before.
I smiled at him as I held out my hand, "Coming?"
He stared at me curiously, "Where too, mommy?"
I winked at him, "It's a surprise," and
He looked confused, "Where," he asked, his voice tinged with a pang of fear.
I stared at him, long and hard. My gaze wasn't threatening, nor was it angry. It was simply just interested.
He shifted on his feet, and I tore my gaze away, and blinked, "Alright. Johnny, I am going to let you meet my family, alright?"
He smiled shyly, before nodding; it seemed like an ok response to him.
I took his hand, and grinned.
We walked to the Hall, where I was sure the gods were, arguing about Johnny.
As we walked inside the enormous Hall, everyone stopped talking at once.
Zeus stared at me intently, obviously wondered what I was thinking.
Poseidon was smirking.
Demeter was absently making stray flowers appear all over.
Apollo was staring at Johnny with shock expressed on his features.
Hermes was glaring at his caduceus, and his snakes, Martha and George, were staring at him sheepishly, I assumed they had another fight.
Goodness knows, they have way too many fights.
Ares was staring at his knife, grinning evilly.
Athena seemed to be deep in thought, her hand tracing the side of a chair.
Aphrodite was blotting her lipstick.
Hephaestus looked bored.
Dionysius was trying to summon wine under Zeus's watchful eye.
Artemis sat in her chair, huffing at Apollo, her feet propped against her chest.
The minor gods were somewhere, I didn't know. And I didn't care.
I felt Johnny shrink under me, and I frowned.
I bent down to him, talking to him in low, urgent tones, and he nodded shyly.
I walked over to my chair, gave him a smile, and I was hoping he would do what I told him, so he would gain respect from the various gods and goddesses.
I caught Johnny's eye and nodded.
I caught his eye and nodded.
Johnny gave me a shaky smile, and I motioned for him to do what I told him.
He stood in front of Zeus, and bowed, "My Lord," he said loud and clear, although you would have to be an idiot to be able to not hear the small quiver in his voice.
Zeus seemed satisfied, "You may stand."
Demeter, Hestia and Athena smiled, already fallen in love with the boy. Poseidon, Hermes, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and Artemis nodded approvingly, while Apollo gave Johnny a proud look.
I stared at Apollo, wondering why he looked so proud, and decided that I would worry about it later; after all I had to see how Johnny was doing.
My attention snapped back towards Johnny who was quivering as a leaf.
Zeus, taking no notice of that, spoke in a clear voice, "Let the Meeting begin."
Oooh cliffy!
Anyway, I have some Questions for you.
Do you want Johnny to remain on Olympus, or do you want him to go back to his birth mother?
Do you want Camp Jupiter's kids to be involved? Or just strictly, Camp Half-Blood kids?
Anyway, hope you liked the chappie!
Love yall(:
Mya(:
