-Annabeth's POV-
We all watched as Leo lost consciousness. He fell on the marble floor in a heap.
"I guess we didn't get Ares in time." Jason said.
"He got what he deserved. He won't try controlling the gods anymore will he?" Clarisse told us as she grabbed Ares and took away his spear.
"Clarisse, that is not very nice." I scolded as I bent down to tend to Leo. His head was bleeding, but at least he was breathing and had a pulse.
"Never said I was nice, princess." Clarisse rolled her eyes at me.
I hated the nickname princess, but she has called me that for years. I knew she wouldn't stop anytime soon. She knew it annoyed me and used it to her advantage.
"Whatever, we need to find a place for them to sleep. Leo wore them all out enough. Now, they should sleep." I said as I adjusted mom in my arms. She was already half asleep as was most of the other baby gods in the room.
"You can spend the night in your parents' houses." Hestia told us. We all nodded in response. "You'll have to partner up though since some of your parents don't have a house up here and I don't believe most of you can take care of a child on your own. I have the pairings already figured out."
Everyone groaned. We wanted to pick our own partners, but I knew Hestia would pair us with someone she thought we could work best with.
"The pairings I picked are for the gods best interests at heart. First, we have Thalia with Nico. You will be caring for Zeus and Hades." Thalia just sighed. "I know that you are going to tell me that you have sworn off boys so you can't stay with him, but Hades doesn't have a house here on Olympus and I think that the big three need special care that you two can give them." Thalia and Nico just nodded and walked to Zeus's room.
"Next, we have Clarisse and Chris who stay and will care for Ares in his house. Clarisse, you are the only one who can handle Ares so he will be put in your care." Clarisse and Chris nodded and walked to Ares' room.
"When did Chris get here?" Travis asked and we just shrugged in response.
"Chris was nearby so he came to help us," Hestia responded. "Now, the next pairing will be Hazel and Frank. You two will be staying in either Artemis' or Apollo's house and you will care for the twins." The pair nodded and walked off.
"So is everyone paired with their boyfriend or girlfriend?" Katie asked. It was how the pairings seemed except for Thalia and Nico.
"Yes. Jason, Piper, Aphrodite in her house, Travis, Katie, Hermes in his house, Conner, Miranda, Demeter in her house, Percy, Annabeth, Poseidon and Athena, either house.
Everyone nodded and started walking toward where they were told to go except Percy and me.
"Hestia, what about Hera, Dionysus, Hephaestus, and Leo?" I asked. They had to go somewhere for the night.
"I was going to put Leo and Hephaestus with Jason and Piper, but they will just stay with me tonight. As for Hera and Dionysus, they will have to come also."
"Percy and I can take one of them if you want. Your home will be crowded enough with 3 guests. Poseidon has extra beds and space." I offered. I didn't really like either god, but I wanted to help Hestia.
"Thanks, Annabeth, could you take Hera? I don't think she will like being in my room with only 1 girl. She is the goddess of women." Hestia told me as she picked up Dionysus and Hephaestus in one arm and dragged Leo with the other hand.
"Sure, do you want any help with Leo?" I asked her as I adjusted mom in my arms, and started walking towards Hera. Mom had fallen asleep and my arms were starting to numb from holding her so long.
"No thanks, I got it. Good night. I will see you tomorrow morning. I will fix breakfast at 8." Hestia called back as she was already at her door.
"Good night!" I called back then I went to get Hera. "Hi Hera, it is time to go to bed. Everyone else is in bed." Hera just scowled at me. I sighed knowing that this was going to be hard. I was trying to convince the one goddess that I hate and that hates me to come with me.
"Come on Hera, It is just for one night. Tomorrow night, you can stay with Jason or Thalia." Percy argued. She little goddess wouldn't come willingly so after five minutes of pleading, I just grabbed her and carried her to Poseidon's room. She didn't even protest. She just laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep.
"That was easy," Percy told me as Hera started to softly snore. I just rolled my eyes at him. Today was chaotic enough, I can't imagine what tomorrow or the rest of the summer will be like.
