Annabeth's POV

The door bell rang. I put down Thalia in her high chair and I told Luke to get ready for bed. I grabbed a towel to wipe my hands clean of mashed bananas. He stormed away, thinking he had to go to bed. I put down a towel and trotted to the door. As I opened it, I was praised and bombarded with 'Hello!'s and 'How have you been?'s from Ana, Elida, Bridgette, Nico, and Chris with his girlfriend, Jocelyn. I hugged everyone, except her. she just smiled and waved hello.

"Don't worry, I know about the gods and goddesses thing." she tells me as she walks.

"Oh...that will save some time for the story," I tell her and give her a nice heartful smile. She just looks at me and turns away to her boyfriend. Okay, that was rude!

"Would anyone like something to drink?" Percy says and walks in with some beer, for the adults, and some diet Coke, and some apple juice.

"Oh! I'd love some," I hear everyone say to themselves. We all walk to get refreshments, when the door rings again. I dash to go get it and I see Sam, Maria, and there two boys.

"Maria! Sam!" I say and I rush to hug Maria, which Sam didn't like by the looks of him. As I pull back, I turn to Sam and just wave. Surpised that I didn't run up to hug him, he waves back. I give him a small welcoming smile. "There are drinks in the kitchen." I tell them and I list off the choices.

"Oh! Sure! Get an apple juice for Kishan and a Diet Coke for Ren, please Sam?" Maria begs. Sam gives her a hug and tell her he would.

"Come on, boys! Lets get you something to drink!" Sam says enthusiasticly and motions them toward the kitchen.

"Wow! They've gotten so big!" I exclaim and I give her a smile. She smiled back and nodded.

"Yeah, Same with Luke and Thalia! I think they'd be honored will be named after them." Maria looks sad. She had been good friends with Thalia before she died. Maria had actually joined the Hunt for a while, which made Sam a bit disappointed. After Maria witnessed Thalia's death, she left the Hunt and became forever sad and almost helpless. I always reasured her that she went to Elysium, which made her a bit happier, but I didn't know how she'd take life afterward. But, with her mother's help, she got the courage to ask Sam out and she now has a really nice life.

"That's what I hope for..." I tell her. Then I see Luke come out in his pajamas and stare at the bottle of Diet Coke. His mouth watered and he lunged toward it. I winced as his head smashed into the counter top. Gasps broke loose. Some turned to me to help him, but he was in no need. He slowly got up and clutched the Diet Coke. As he uncaped the lid, I turned to Percy, knowing that Luke was going to chug it down. Percy then mouths 'I bought three bottles'. I breath a sigh of relief. Once the little boy was finished, he slammed the cap to the counter and looked up proudly to the sky. No one could help but laugh. Luke giggled too until he got hiccups.

"Hey!" I hear down the hallway of the apartment complex. I poke my head out of the doorway to find Manny and his really pretty girlfriend, Samantha, Davido and Tony with their wives, who are twins, Rose and Scarlett. They both had red hair and were identical to the freckle or mole. They wore the same style of clothing, only in different colors. I smiled and welcomed them in. Then I hear a whistle and I trun to find Lauren struting down the hall with her 'hot' boyfriend at her heels. Dramaticly, she shook her head and her hair went flying in every direction. "Curse Aphodite and her addiction to make her children such idiots, but pretty..." I mumble under my breath. I can almost hear Aphrodite gasp. Then she's grab her nail filer and violetnly file her nails until they were stubs. I chuckled to myslef.

"Hey! Marcella! Anastasia!" Lauren squeals.

"It's-" I cut Maria off.

"Hi! This must be Jason!" I say. She nods and clings to her boyfriends arm. I smile.

"Well, We have some beer or diet coke in the kitchen. Or if you like Apple juice, we got that too..." I mumble, making conversation.

"OH! DIET COKE! GIVE ME GIVE ME!" She screams and pulls Jason into the party.

"Why didn't you yell at her for mistaking our names?" Maria asks with her hands on her hips.

"Because, sometimes, she's so dumb, I don't know if she's faking it or that's what she really thinks our names are..." I say and I walk into my house. I shut the door softly behind me. "SO! Basicly she's...nevermind..." I say. I then I see Lauren walk over to my jewelry drawer. She opens it up and squeals, again.

"Jewelry!" she says and points in the drawer. Jason just closes it for her and pats her head.

"I swear, she hasn't changed..." I hear some people say and they chuckle. I almost laugh too.

"Okay! Luke, it's time to start the story..." Percy drematicly says. A could whoops and claps appear.

"Okay, where shall we start?" Nico says.

"Thanks for waiting!" We hear a couple people say. We all turned around to find the all the gods of Olympus. Even Hades came.

"OH MY GODS! IT THE GODS!" I hear Luke scream, but I hold him back from meeting all of them.

"Don't you want to hear our side of the story? And what We thought?" Apollo asked.

"The gods? Yes. You? No..." I hear Tony say.

"Tony! Don't talk crap about our dad!" Chris and Elida yell.

"That's right, demigods...I'm loved..." There was an awkward silence hanging in the air as Apollo glared at Tony. I could see Hermes getting annoyed by Apollo scaring his kid that he smacked Apollo on the side of the head.

"Play nice, boys..." Hera says.

"Yeah..." I hear Poseidon say as he picked Thalia up from her high chair. He grabbed some apple juice and poured some in her sippie-cup. We all stared.

"What are you doing?" Athena asks.

"Hey, I have a motherly side!" Poseidon protests.

"Oh! There's Thalia! She looks a lot cuter in real life than that picture!" Ana says and stares at the baby with wonder.

"Okay? When did Ana start being so sissy? She's like an Aphrodite child! No offence, Dity!" Elida says.

"Offence taken!" Both Lauren and Aphrodite yell.

"You did NOT just say that..." Ana says, glaring at Elida.

"If you want to fight? Take it outside..." I say, hoping they wouldn't kill me. Instead they glared at me and sulked away. There was another silence. I fiddled with my Diet Coke glass. "So..." I asked.

"Do you want to start know?" Percy asked.

"Um, Sure..." Some people replied.

"Well let's begin!"

Sorry, this chapter was not worthy condition. I'm tired at the momment, I had volleyball practice and I'm sore. I promise better next time!

Thanks!
