Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson characters that appear in this story, however…the child of Annabeth and Percy's is mine respectively. Camp Half-Blood and it's attributes belong to Rick Riordan of course.
Loud.
Chaotic.
Wondrous.
The sound of her children…their children, filled the cabin. The nymphs ran frantically around the room, trying to ease the crying from the newborn.
"It's over Annabeth, calm down," Juniper soothed the child's mother, who was breathing rapidly.
"Lemme…let me see my babies! Please," Annabeth panted. Possibly her best friend in the world now, her childhood sister complied.
"Just as soon as we clean them! HURRY UP!" Thalia barked. Throughout the entire operation, Thalia had provided the command needed to assemble her crew of nymphs. She'd even convinced her shy cousin, Nico di Angelo, to buy—steal rather—some Chinese food smothered in tarter sauce.
Everyone was used to Annabeth's absurd cravings, and could only hope that after the birth they would cease. But with your soul mate deceased and your child fatherless, who knew what would happen.
As promised, the wailing infants were washed and wrapped carefully in a soft blanket and handed to their mother. Annabeth reached out for them, and gingerly took the two in her soft arms. With wide eyes, the daughter of Athena exclaimed with glee, "It's…it's a boy and a girl!"
Cheers and clapping rang through Poseidon's cabin, and Juniper called out from the now open door, delivering the news to the long line of campers. Celebrative whoops and hollers could be heard from miles away, as all half-bloods, naiads, dryads and satyrs danced and sang.
"I'll call you…Hero Perseus, and…Hope Elise!" Annabeth whispered, more to her little boy than anyone else.
Later, when asked their names, she simply repeated it. Yes, Hero and Hope were perfect names. She was sure.
