Percy POV:

Dad turned to look at us and smiled when he caught my eye. He laughed slightly when May took a small step backward. There was a loud explosion and the distant sound of someone screaming in pain. May squeezed my hand tighter. The prophecy was right. May and I did have to travel to a very beak place. More then bleak. This was down right depressing. I'm glad Annabeth didn't have to come down here. It would have upset her. And the depressing state of my fathers domain wasn't the worst part of it. Usually I felt refreshed and powerful in the seas, but now I felt the same way I had when we had been in the hotel a few hours ago. Things must be pretty bad down here.

"Percy. May. I'm glad to see you both." He sighed. "Though I wish it could have been under better circumstances."

May peeked out from behind my leg. "You're Poseidon?" She whispered.

He smiled and nodded. "Yes child. Though I usually look a bit different then I currently do."

"She blinked up and him and took a step forward. "So you're my daddy?"

He nodded again. May let go of my leg and took another hesitant step forward. Another explosion rocked the ocean's floor. May shuddered slightly, but took another small step forward. Her pace quickened to a walk and then a slow sprint. She stopped when she was about a foot away from him and looked up into the sea green eyes that he had given us both. The next thing I knew, she was hugging him. He looked surprised at first, almost like he had never held a little kid, but then he picked her up and hugged her back. He looked over her shoulder and met my eyes. He mouther we need to talk

"May, we will catch up later. Perseus and I have a few things we need to discuss. You can take the hippocampi there." He pouted to a small shed-like structure. I assumed that it was some type of stable for the hippocampi. Poseidon put her down. She looked up at him and it almost seemed like she was going to protest, but she nodded and mounted Jolie. She rode her toward the stabled.

Another explosion.

Dad walked over to the map he had been looking at before we had gotten there. He frowned. Sighing he ran his hand through his hair. He turned to look at me a smiled sadly.

"Tyson wanted to be here to see you. He also wanted to meet his sister." He said, then he turned back to the map. "He misses you, but I told him I need his help. I sent him here along with the other Cyclopes." He pointed to a place on the map that I couldn't see. "And Triton went here." He pointed to another space. He looked back at me. "I'm sorry you had to get involved in this Percy. So very sorry. And May too."

I walked over to stand opposite of him, so the map was in between us. Walking in the ocean was as easy as walking on land. Thank the gods that this fight didn't take away my ability to breath under water or to stay dry.

"Why haven't you Iris messaged anyone dad?" I asked after a few minutes of silence. "The other goods could have helped you."

He laughed. "Could've? Yes, probably. Would've? Well, that I'm not so sure about. As for Iris messaging, well, as you can see I have been quite busy." He gestured to the war going on around him. A mermaid swam up to him, whispered something in his ear, and he nodded. She swam away.

"How can I help you?" I asked.

"Percy it's not that simple."

"Tell me."

He still looked hesitant, but eventually he pointed to a large stone structure about four hundred yards away. "Oceanus is a coward. That is where we believe he is residing. He has not shown himself since the war started. He has many dark creatures that are loyal to him. It is hard to win because we can't cut off his armies source of power because he is there source of power. And he refuses to show himself. I would go fight him myself, but there is a problem."

"I'm listening."

"Well, none has been able to enter the fortress It is almost like there is a barrier keeping us out."

"So how do I play a part in this?"

"From what I can tell, the fortress's barrier is similar to that of camp half-blood. It keeps monsters away. The only difference is, it keeps immortals away too, unless they have permission to enter."

Realization hit me. "You want me to go and face Oceanus."

"No. I would never ask that of you. I merely want you to attempt to draw him out of his stone fortress. You and May can-"

"No."

"I understand you may not want to help me after all you have been through but-"

"No. I'll go. But leave may out of this. She's only six. She's too young. I'll go, but you will keep her here and protect her."

"You dare tell a god what to do?"

"Either that, or May and I leave and you can get another mortal demigod to do it."

He contemplated that, clearly not liking being told what to do, but eventually he said "Very well. We must start planning."

I nodded. "I pretty much know what I'm going to do, but I need to make a call first."

Annabeth's POV

Nico managed to shadow travel all of us safely into camp, just near the edge of the woods. When I opened my eyes, I immediately turned and threw up everything I had eaten that day. Clarisse was rubbing my back. I looked up to see that Nico had fallen to his knees and Thalia was helping him stand up. His eyes were half closed and he was leaning heavily on Thalia. He look absolutely drained, but at least he was still conscious. Clarisse was helping me walk and Thalia was helping Nico. We made our way over to the big house. Half way there we saw Chiron. When he spotted us his eyes went wide and he galloped over to us.

"What are you all doing back? And where are Percy and May?" He asked when he finally reached us.

"Long story." Clarisse said. "But that will have to wait. We need to hold a cabin meeting. First things first though, Nico needs to lie down and Annabeth needs some medical help."

Chiron nodded and we followed him the rest of the way to the big house. On the way Clarisse explained how the camp was in danger and how Percy and May were with Poseidon. He didn't say anything, but nodded while listening intently to the story. He brought us into the infirmary and Nico and I were each placed into one of the comfortable beds. He left for a moment, and when he returned he handed Thalia a glass of nectar. Thalia brought it over Nico and he smiled at her gratefully. I smiled slightly at the scene that was playing out before me. Thalia helping Nico drink the nectar reminded me of the first time I had ever seen Percy, after he was attacked by the minotaur when we were twelve. After Nico was taken care of, Chiron directed his attention to me.

"I will go and get a child of Apollo. They will be able to help you. You are very wise Annabeth. It was right of you not to consume any of the food of the gods. There is no telling what the effect of the ambrosia and nectar would have had on your unborn child. It most likely would have harmed it or worse." Chiron explained. He turned to Clarisse. "Alert the camp. Round up some campers and begin a border patrol. We will have a meeting later on. I trust you to be in control of this until the threat is completely gone. Thalia, Nico, join us when you are ready. Annabeth, I am sorry, but I do not believe it is wise for you participate in this fight."

"But-"

"No Annie." Thalia interrupted me. "Think about your baby. Please don't be an idiot brainiac."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

Chiron nodded and then left the infirmary. Clarisse went to follow him, but stopped briefly to smile reassuringly at me and pat my shoulder. She left the room, leaving Thalia, Nico and I alone. It was really quiet for a little bit while Nico finished up the Nectar. He didn't look back to one hundred percent yet, but he look so much better then he had when we had arrived at camp.

"How you holding up death boy?" I said, smiling at him.

He shrugged. "Okay I guess. How about you brainiac?"

I shrugged, wincing slightly at the uncomfortable feeling in my side. "I'm doing okay. Wish I have some Nectar."

"Well to bad. You're not allowed." Thalia laughed. "Nothing is going to happened to that little baby if I have anything to say about it. Though you do know that Percy isn't going to let you do anything until he or she is born right?"

I laughed. "He can try all he wants."

"I'll lock you in the Athena cabin if I have to Wise Girl." A voice no one expected to hear chuckled. All three of us jumped and turned to see the only face I wanted to see right now. Percy was here. Well not here, here, but and image of him was. I determined by the fish swimming in the background that he was underwater.

"Seaweed Brain." I exclaim once the initial shock of seeing him there wore off. "Where are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt? How's May? Did you find Poseidon? When are you coming back?" The questioned began to pour out and I couldn't stop them.

"Geez Annabeth. You would think we hadn't seen each other in weeks. It's only been a few hours." He laughed.

"A few hours too long." I mumbled.

"It's fine. And to I will answer your questions, but first tell me how you are. I see you guys got back to camp, but did Chiron or an Apollo Cabin member help heal you yet?" I could see the worry in his beautiful eyes as he asked this.

"I'm fine Percy. Everyone is." I looked over at Thalia and Nico. "Right guys?"

"Yeah. Hey Kelp Head! How goes the work on the bottom of the ocean?" Thalia screamed in our direction.

"Jeez Thals." Nico moaned holding his head. "Why don't you scream a little louder? I don't think they heard you Olympus."

Percy chuckled. "Hey guys." Something exploded and he looked over his shoulder. "Damn it." He muttered. He looked back to me. "Okay listen, I'm sorry, but I really have to go."

"But what about-"

"May's fine. She's not allowed anywhere near the battlefield. I won't allow it."

"When-"

"Soon." He smiled. "I promise. Maybe even tomorrow. But my dad needs me to do something. I love you. Both of you."

"I love you too Seaweed Brain. Please hurry back to us."

I felt tears sting my eyes. I needed him now, but so did his father. He nodded and then the message dissolved. I turned to Nico and Thalia. Both of them were looking at me sympathetically. I wiped the tears away and buried my head in my hands. Thalia started to say something, but before she could the door burst open. Will Solace from the Apollo cabin was dragged into the roomy a strikingly beautiful woman with stormy grey eyes. And boy did she look pissed off. Thalia and Nico's eyes went wide and their jaws dropped.

"M-mom?" I whispered.

Percy's POV:

I finished my Iris message with Annabeth and immediately felt worse then before. I missed her so much it actually hurt. It took all of my will power to swipe my hand through the Iris message. I needed to finish up this job for my dad and get back to her as soon as I possible could. Luckily Dad had, had a small alcove where I could message her privately. It was concealed by large rocks and pieces of coral.

"Us?" My dads voice asked. Well I thought it was private.

I Jumped and turned around to face a very annoyed looking Sea God. "What?" I asked.

"Annabeth just said us." Poseidon said.

"Yes. Thalia and Nico were there too." I lied.

"Perseus you have never been a good lier. Tell me the truth right now." He crossed his arms and I knew I wasn't going to be able to lie my way out of this one.

"Well dad the thing is, um, well-"

"Annabeth is gonna have a baby!" May popped up from behind one of the large rocks in alcove. Jeez maybe snooping runs in the family.

"May!" I exclaimed.

"What?" She asked innocently.

"Where you spying on me?"

"I wanted to see if Annabeth was okay." She whispered, clasping her hands in front of her an looking down.

I sighed. "We'll I why did you tell that to dad?"

"Cause it's true."

"I was going to tell him."

She giggled. "You were taking too long."

My dad had been silent. He was looking between May and me, his had flipping back and forth rapidly. "Dad?" I asked.

He fixed his gaze on me, "Is this true?"

I rubbed the back of my head. "Yeah."

"Does Athena know?"

"Um no. We were kind of waiting until we found you to tell the both of you together. Your mad aren't you?"

"No Percy. I am happy for you." He suddenly smiled widely. "I haven't had a new grandchild in many many years."

"So your not mad?" I asked.

"No. Though you should probably tell Athen as soon as possible. She may be a tad upset about this. She did not believe you and Annabeth would still be together." Dad explained.

"What? Why?" I screamed, cause several fish to curse at me in my head.

Dad sighed. "Now is not the time Percy. Forget I mentioned it. Come it is time to put your plan into action." I wanted to argue, but I didn't because the sooner I finished this mission, the sooner I could see Annabeth.

Annabeth's POV:

"Annabeth Chase." My mother reapplied in a voice that could freeze Hades.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked.

She walked over to me, dragging Will with her. "There have been rumors going around on olympus. Well, at least, you better hope they are rumors."

Thalia helped Nico stand up and they slow walked over to bow before my mother. "Lady Athena." they both said in unison.

She dismissed them with a wave of her hand. "First things first. Help heal her, son of Apollo."

She released him. Will nodded quickly and scrambled over to me. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back while he did his thing. Percy was going to be so mad at me. We had agreed to tell our godly parents together. I groaned internally. Why did Athena seem so angry? The question was lost when the pain in my sides slowly seeped away until it was almost non existent. I sighed and opened my eyes and smiled at Will.

"Thanks Will. It feels so much better."

"Anytime Annabeth. You had two cracked ribs, but I fixed them. It didn't do as much as Ambrosia and Nectar would have, but….. well you know you can't have that. It shouldn't matter though. You'll be fine in a couple of days. Just, take it easy okay." He helped me into a sitting position. One I was he pat my leg and stood up. He bowed to Athena, waved to Thalia and Nico and then hurried out of the door.

Athena turned to look at me. "Now what is this I hear about you being pregnant?" She snapped sternly.

Thalia and Nico took a few steps backwards and took a sudden interest in the floor. Athena looked at them and then back to me. "Well is it true? Are you having the children of that sea spawn?"

"Children?" I asked. "I am pregnant mom, but children? As in plural?"

Athen crossed her arms. "Yes. I feared that what I was hearing was true. How could you be having the children of the child of that barnacle beard!"

"Mom, Percy and I are married. You had to assume we would have a child at some point in our relationship. Now back to children." Thalia and Nico had back out the door at this point, but I knew they were listening by the door.

"Yes, yes. Aphrodite has been pestering the gods to give her information about your pregnancy. Apparently, according to Hera, you are carrying twins. I had to be sure. Annabeth, why would you chose to have children with that sea spawn?" Her voice rose steadily and eventually she was screaming at me.

"Mom." I whispered. "We're married."

"And how long was that going to last." She screamed.

"What?"

"Oh come on Annabeth. You are one of my wisest children. You know that your marriage was never going to amount to anything."

"Mom! Is this about the feud? I thought you were over that!"

She sighed and uncrossed her arms. "Annabeth. I just want whats best for you."

"Percy is whats best for me."

"But Annabeth if you would just listen-"

"No Mom. You listen. I love Perseus Jackson. And he loves me, and we are having this baby- or these babies- or whatever! You can be a part of my life and the babies lives, or you can leave it alone. But it's going to happen." I was crying by the end of this little speech. I was still in shock that there was a good possibility that I was going to have two babies in a few months.

Mom didn't say anything. Nothing at all. She began to shimmer and I covered my watery eyes. When I opened them again there was no evidence that she had ever been there. I began to sob. Thalia opened to door slowly and her and Nico peered into the room. I didn't want them to see me cry, so I buried my face in my hands. I heard someone cross the room and put their arms around me. I heard Thalia whispering soothing words to me, telling me it would be okay, but the truth was that the only person who would make m feel better was in the middle of a battle under the waves.
