Annabeth is a few weeks pregnant, it's still January. Estelle, Sally and Paul's daughter, is eleven years old at this time.

Sally and Paul were the first ones to know. They wanted to tell their families first and foremost and they preferably wanted to tell both of them at the same time, but Annabeth's family couldn't fly all the way to New York until two weeks after. So, they decided last minute to tell Sally and Paul the great news. (Read: Percy almost spilled the beans as soon as they stepped into Sally and Paul's apartment because he couldn't wait to tell his mom and stepdad.)

They told them during dinner, the talk was light and was filled with everyone telling stories about their lives. Percy was greatly disappointed that his younger sister, Estelle, wasn't there and was having dinner at a friend's house for a project. Sally reassured him that she was fine and safe until Paul had to go and pick her up. Percy immediately asked if he could join Paul to which his stepdad agreed with a chuckle.

Annabeth knew this time that she could hold back to after dinner to tell her in-laws of the great news but she wondered if her husband could. All throughout the dinner, Percy had this weird happy grin, which made both Paul and Sally question him throughout dinner.

"So," Sally said, getting up from her seat and picked up her used plate and utensils. "What is the thing that Percy is all happy and excited for?"

Annabeth shot her husband a pointed look, to which the son of the Sea God had the courtesy to look sheepish. Percy cleared his throat, turning in the direction of the kitchen where his mother was already putting the used plates and utensils in the kitchen, "How did you know?"

Paul chuckled into his wine glass, as Sally walked back into the room with a smug smile. "You're my son, Percy. I raised you and changed your diapers long enough to know when my son is bursting with excitement."

The daughter of Athena shrugged one shoulder when Percy sends her an incredulous look. Sally chuckled and sat back down across from her daughter-in-law, grasping her wine glass with her right hand. "So? What is it?"

The couple looked at each other, they silently agreed that since this was Percy's parents, Percy would have the honor to tell them that Annabeth was pregnant. The black-haired man leaned over and gave Annabeth a quick peck on the cheek, (both Paul and Sally smiled at the small and cute PDA) before turning to his mom and stepdad.

"Okay, so, we're really excited to tell you guys something." Percy's family grinned at him, raising an eyebrow at him, "well, I guess that you guys knew that…"

Annabeth nudged him with her elbow, "Just tell them, Seaweed Brain."

"Okay, okay," Percy took a deep breath before smiling widely at his family, "Annabeth is pregnant."

There was a small moment of silence before Sally launched out of her seat, a squeal of delight leaving her lips, before gently gathering Annabeth into her arms. "You two better not be pulling our leg…"

Annabeth let out a laugh, returning the hug, "No, no, we're not. It's true."

While Sally started asking Annabeth about her health and how far along she was, Paul set his wineglass and got up from his seat. He walked around the table and clapped Percy on the back with a proud smile on his face. "Congratulations, Percy. Your mom's been waiting for her first grandchild."

Percy laughed, looking over to his left to see his mom giving his wife another hug. "What do you think it's going to be? A boy or a girl?" Paul asked.

"A girl."

"Boy."

Both grandparents-to-be laughed and the family chatted about the prospect of having a little one running around before Paul's phone rang, a call from Estelle. Percy immediately said goodbye to his mom and wife, a kiss on the cheek for both before rushing out of the apartment.

"He does realize that you have the keys and the car, right, Paul?" Annabeth asked, grinning when Paul shrugged his shoulders and went to get his and Percy's jackets.

(Percy came back to the apartment five minutes later with a red face and with sprinkles of snowflakes on his head.)

Estelle and Annabeth's family were next to know. The Chase family flew to New York at the request of Annabeth. Both Annabeth and Percy came up with the idea of a small tour of Percy's mortal world workplace, to entice Annabeth's family to come to New York during winter. It was a little hard since the twins were attending college and Frederick Chase had to pull a lot of strings to get a week of vacation time.

But it was all worth it when the Chase family arrived at the marine biology research center where Percy part works at, Sally pulled Percy a little ways away while Annabeth greeted her family with somewhat stiff hugs and strained smiles.

"Are you going to tell them today?" Percy could see the excited hopeful glint in her eyes as she glanced between Percy and the Chases'.

With a confirming nod, Sally let out a small squeal of delight before the mother and son rejoined everyone else.

Percy led both families around his workplace, keeping an arm around Estelle's shoulders and held Annabeth's hands with his left hand. Sally and Paul walked alongside with Susan and Frederick Chase while Matthew and Bobby walked behind everyone, taking pictures of the aquatic animals. It was after their short lunch break when Percy decided to show everyone his dolphin friend, Richie, translating the jokes that the dolphin said to the awed family. It was then when Estelle asked her brother if they could feed Richie and Percy brought out a small metal bucket of fish is when Annabeth ran from everyone with a green and sick face.

Frederick stepped in the direction that Annabeth ran in, calling out to her, "Annabeth, are you okay, sweetheart?" He was about to follow after her when Percy stopped him and said that he better do it before running after his wife.

Estelle, with a gloved hand, paused from throwing the small fish to Richie. She was at the edge of the pool, on her knees and leaned back on her heels. "Mom, is Annabeth okay?"

Sally and Paul briefly shared a secret look, Sally crouched down next to her daughter, smiling at her. "I don't know, sweetie, but your brother will make sure she is okay."

Bobby scrunched his face up in confusion, "I didn't know Annie didn't like the smell of fish."

"Me either," his twin piped up, "I mean, you'd think that she would be used to by now, being that her husband is a marine biologist and the fact that he is the son of Poseidon."

Susan Chase raised an eyebrow, looking over at the direction that both Percy and Annabeth ran in. She, too, wondered when Annabeth suddenly couldn't stand the smell of fish. She tugged her attention away and back onto Richie the dolphin, reassuring that Annabeth is in good hands.

Twenty minutes later, Richie got bored with being fed and started to swim around the pool, sometimes doing tricks and flips to entertain the family when the wife and husband came back. Percy was rubbing Annabeth's back, in a soothing motion. Notably, Annabeth's blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Frederick was immediately at Annabeth's other side, asking if she was okay. Annabeth rolled her eyes before telling her father that she was fine and that it was must have been something that she had eaten during lunch.

"But you only had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich," Frederick said with a deep frown, "and you never reacted like when you are around fish."

Annabeth mentally cursed in her head, she wondered if her dad had figured it out or had some kind inkling but from the look that Sally and Paul were giving her told her that her dad didn't have a clue.

After she had reassured her dad that she was fine and was told to stay inside for a while by Sally, Annabeth waited on a bench by the sliding door, drawing on her large H-pad Pro. Percy distracted everyone's attention with bringing in two twin manta rays named, Mikey and Sully (yes, after the characters from Monster Inc.) and letting Matthew, Bobby, and Estelle touch them and play with Richie.

Two hours later, when Percy told everyone that Mikey, Sully, and Richie was feeling tired, he led back inside to where Annabeth was sitting on a bench. Estelle hopped over to the blonde, wanting to tell her about the fun things that they had done in the past two hours. She grinned, taking a seat next to her sister-in-law and began to tell the riveting tale of guiding Mikey and Sully back into their pools. By the time that their families caught up with them, Estelle started to notice Annabeth's small winces of pain.

"Annabeth? Are you okay?" The smart eleven-year-old asked.

"I'm fine... Just…" Annabeth touched her stomach with her left hand while pushing stray blonde hair away from her face.

Annabeth's husband switched spots with his sister, mumbling too low for anyone to hear. Susan cocked her head to the side a little, studying the scene in front of her. The sudden throwing up reaction to fish, the specially made peanut butter and jelly sandwich at lunch while everyone else had egg salad sandwiches, and if she wasn't mistaken, Annabeth looked somewhat bloated even though she didn't eat a lot during lunch. It was like a light bulb went off in her head, Susan Chase let out a small grin as Percy asked if she needed ambrosia or Advil.

"Annabeth?" Susan asked, pulling out a small square of ambrosia from her bag and handing it over to her. "How long have you been pregnant?"

She ignored her husband's indignation look, her sons' surprised gaps, Sally and Paul's relieved sighs and directly looked down at the couple. Percy and Annabeth looked up at her with shock, both looked like a pair of deer caught in headlights. The daughter of Athena shakily took the offered food of the gods from her stepmother, raising an eyebrow at her.

"How did you know?"

"Wait, it's true?" Matthew asked with raised eyebrows. Susan rolled her eyes at her son, slightly backing away from the couple to give Annabeth some breathing room.

"It's not hard when you know the symptoms." Mrs. Chase said with a nonchalant shrug.

"Holy sh-" Bobby started to say but stopped when he remembered that Estelle was around, "Congrats, guys, I'm going to be the baby's godfather right?"

"Uh, yeah right, Annie likes me better than you."

While the twins continue to argue about who the baby's godfather would be, Frederick sat down on the other side of Annabeth on the bench. The graying blonde gently touching his daughter's hand, "You're pregnant?"

The blonde architect bites her lower lip nervously before looking up at her father with a steely confident look. "Yeah, are you okay with being a grandpa?"

Frederick pursed his lips, pushed his glasses back up and squeezed Annabeth's hand reassuring. "Yes, I'm very okay with being a grandpa."

Susan and Sally got the twins to settle down and stop arguing then the congratulations went around and Susan asking Annabeth if she was eating healthy and recommendation to see a doctor when the cramping gets worse. Percy felt a small tug on his sleeve, the black-haired man turned to his left and smiled down at his sister.

"Does this mean that I'm going to an auntie?" Estelle said with a huge smile on her face that made Percy just smile back. Her striking blue eyes bored into his sea green ones before Percy pulled her into him and kissed the top of her head.

"Yeah, Estelle. You're going to an auntie."

Somehow, Aphrodite had found out about Annabeth's pregnancy (Annabeth knows that Piper had something to with it). The goddess of love, of course, spend the word on Olympus that her favorite couple of the century was finally having their first child. And somehow, Poseidon heard the news before Athena.

Which in retrospect was the better than Athena finding out before Poseidon.

Percy and Annabeth were walking around the Camp Half-Blood, unwary about what is happening on Olympus right now. The two were still arguing about their baby's gender when a wind of sea breeze brushing along them and suddenly, with a small whirl of the water, Poseidon stood before them.

Annabeth let out a small yelp of surprise while Percy wrapped an arm around her, protectively. The black-haired man let out a sigh of relief when he saw that it was just his father, but shot him a look of slight annoyance. "Dad, don't do that! Annabeth-"

"Is pregnant." Poseidon finished with a slightly angered look.

Both demigods suddenly looked like a pair of deer in the headlights again. There was a silence that lasted for a few minutes which Poseidon took the opportunity to stare at the pair of demigods while said demigods stared back at the god. They continued to stare at each other Percy slid his arm off of his wife's waist and threw both if his arms up in the air with exasperation, yelling, "How is everyone figuring this out?'

This time Annabeth and Poseidon looked at Percy with slightly amused, slightly exasperated, and fully surprised looks. Percy, already used to those looks by now, dropped his arms with a sigh of frustration.

"Aphrodite," Poseidon cleared his throat and gaining the attention of his son and daughter-in-law, "summoned me to Olympus to what I heard was a very important meeting about, but instead told me that my favorite son was having a child and was asking me if I somehow convinced the both of me to name your child in the name of her."

"Wait," Annabeth knitted her eyebrows together, "we didn't tell Aphrodite anything at all, Lord Poseidon."

The sea god shrugged his shoulders, he leaned to his right against his trident. His sea green swirled with a slight hurt and questioning. "After I told that Aphrodite I didn't know Annabeth was pregnant, I rushed right here to see if it was true. Now, I want to know why my son and his wife didn't think to tell me, the child's grandfather, no less, that they are starting a family. Hades, I would have liked to know Aphrodite."

"Lord Poseidon," Annabeth took a deep breath, "we didn't mean to offend you by holding the pregnancy in the dark, but we were going to tell you and my mother in a-"

Suddenly, Poseidon perked up suddenly. In his sea green eyes, the slight hurt and questioning washed away and was replaced with mirth and glee. He straightened up and casually exchanged his trident for a fishing pole. "Athena doesn't know yet?"

The daughter of the wisdom goddess flinched mentally, just as she was going to deny the fact, Percy chose that moment to finally speak up. "Yeah, we thought it would be better to tell you than Athena."

The Sea God smirked, he opened his mouth to say something but was cut off as a column of fire and a sound of an owl appeared next to him.

"Annabeth Vivian Chase!" Athena's scolding voice was heard before she even appeared. "Is what Aphrodite had said to me holds any truth?"

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, stood in mortal height. Her black locks fluttered around her as the fire that teleported her vanished. Her stormy and calculating gray eyes were trained on her daughter, completely ignoring the Sea God and his son's presence.

Annabeth took a full two steps back, completely taken back as to how fast word travels around Olympus. One minute, she and Percy had to deal with Poseidon disappointment and the absolute next minute, her mother decided to join in.

"Mom, please," The blonde pleaded, looking around to see if they were creating a scene or not, "Lord Poseidon is here with the same reasoning as you, please if you both let us just explain the baby situation-"

Again, Annabeth was cut off by her mother.

"Annabeth! This type of announcement should be informed to the will-be-parents' parents, regardless of being divine or not. I thought our relationship was good enough for you to tell me about your pregnancy before that Barbie of a love goddess."

Annabeth sighed in frustration, her gray eyes flashed with annoyance. "Mom, please-"

Athena turned towards her fellow Olympian, her gray eyes narrowed at the Sea God before turning back to her daughter with both of her eyebrows raised. "And Annabeth, really? You told Barnacle Brain before your own mother?"

"Perhaps, because I won't disintegrate their spouse because of their parentage," Poseidon said with a roll of his eyes.

Athena turned back to the black haired god, her eyes flashed with anger and her nostrils flared. "I will not kill your son, Poseidon. I rather not have my daughter hating me again."

"I never-"

"Oh, you're just angry because your favorite daughter is having my son's child. And to rub salt on that wound, they didn't tell you first but me."

"But dad, we didn't-"

But Poseidon's last comment strung a nerve in the goddess and immediately, the two gods were in a heated argument. Their children stood there, both very awkward and exasperated at the same time. Percy nudged his wife with his elbow, whispering from the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think they will notice if we just, like, leave?" The son of Poseidon asked, Annabeth, in return shrugged her shoulders.

Both Olympians turned to their children, fire in their eyes and looked like they were about to explode with anger. "Percy, please tell this BirdBrain that you will be having a girl."

"Actually, dad-"

"And Annabeth, please tell this Kelp Head that you will be having a boy."

"Mom, please-"

"Tell her/him!" Both Poseidon and Athena raised their voices while pointing at each other.

The blonde mother-will-be rubbed her hand down her cheek with held back frustration, letting her husband deal with their godly parents himself.

A/N: So, that was the second installment! I had fun writing the last scene with Poseidon and Athena. I really wanted to show the gods as arguing in-laws, especially if those gods were Athena and Poseidon. And I badly wanted to introduce Estelle, she was super fun to write! Anyways, I love the better relationship between Annabeth and her stepmother, I believe that over the years, they grew to be civil and actually care for one another. That goes for Athena and Annabeth's relationship, I really could see Athena try to repair her relationship with Annabeth over the unseen past years after the Second Giants War.

I hope you all enjoyed it. The next installment will the first prompt for Pride month. I will try to keep everything vaguely present like Rick Riordan does in his books. After reading the Burning Maze, I know, there was a major character death in the book (no spoilers!) in the middle of this month, I will update the characters list back in the first chapter.

I hope you all are having a great day and is safe. I'll see all in the next installment.
