PPOV:
There were three quick knocks on the cabin door. I rolled over, "Kat, want to get that?" I grumbled into my pillow.
"What do you think?"
"COME IN!" I yelled. She winced, but neither of us had to get up.
"Percy. I need to talk to you about something." It was Thalia.
"What could you possible have to talk about in the middle of the night?"
"First off, it's about three in the morning, so it isn't the middle of the night... and second, it's really important..."
"What is it?"
"I...I'm pregnant..."
"WHAT!" I bolted upright, slamming my head on the top bunk and falling back down, clutching my head. At least this time I didn't hit it on Annabeth too...
"I'm pretty sure you heard me..."
I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. I looked at Katerina, who was curled up on her side, blankets wrapped all around her. All you can see was her face, which was completely frozen...
"You're pregnant?" I asked.
"Didn't I just say that?" Now that I looked, her stomach wasn't flat anymore, it wasn't huge, but it was a bulge.
"Who knows?" I asked.
"Annabeth, my Dad, Nico, Nico's dad, my step-mom, Chiron and now you two..."
"Is it safe to assume it's Nico's?" Katerina asked, sitting up.
"Yes. It's Nico's."
"When did you guys find the time too..." Kat asked.
"Last night before dinner, after we left here..."
"Then, you shouldn't be showing..." Kat answered.
"A regular human is 9 months. A normal demi-god pair is 6 months. A normal and big three is 3... Hera said that it will be less than a month... but she isn't sure of how many weeks, or even day..." I could tell Thalia was holding back tears.
I stood up and walked over to her, pulling her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around my neck and sobbed into my neck. "Do you want me to get Nico?" Katerina asked.
"No, he's talking with his dad..." Thalia responded.
"I'm going to go get you something to drink... no offense but you don't look to good..." Kat stood up.
"Well, I did spend he better part of the night throwing up..." I still held her, that's how nice I am...
"Be right back..." And Kat was gone.
"Don't worry everything is going to be alright..."
She let out a laugh, "That's what Annabeth said... but I'm going to tell you exactly what I told her; No it's not. What about the game Friday? Nico didn't seemed to thrilled. Dad's pissed and Hades froze when I told him! The only one that accepts it is Hera! She hated me! I mean come on!" She paused, "I asked Annabeth this too, what about the baby?"
"The baby will be..."
"Don't you dare say fine. Do you and Annabeth share a mind or something, you answer the same exact way... And don't tell me this baby will be fine. You know how it is, demi-gods are danger magnets, children of the big three attract anything dangerous within a ten mile radius, if not farther. This child had two big three grandparents..."
"Yeah, but most demigods are left with only a human parent. Not only does this baby..."
"It's a girl..." Seeing the look on my face, "Hera told me, she's going to have black hair and grey eyes..."
"See, you love her already."
"What do you mean?"
"The way you speak of her, you speak of her with pride and love... I promise everything is going to be alright..."
"Do I need to repeat what I said last time you said that? She is going to attract monsters like lights attract bugs!"
"The thing this baby girl has that other half-bloods don't, is a mother, a father, a bunch of friends, two grandparents... she's going to be taken care of... Plus with the magical borders of camp, she'll be fine. Don't you and Nico plan on staying year round?"
"Yeah..."
"There you go! Magical borders, and if either of you choose to visit your dads, that would be even better..."
She was quiet. "You always know just what to say. Thank you."
"What are friends for? Now get some sleep, I think that's good for the baby..." She offered a half smile.
"Um Percy, can I?"
"Yeah. Pick any bunk..."
"Thank you." She gave me one quick squeeze before she walked over to a bunk a laid down, out almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.
NPOV: Nico
"That's enough. Nico, go talk to your dad..." Thalia said. I stood up and kissed her on the cheek.
I walked out of the living room and into the kitchen. There he was, leaning against a counter, Poseidon doing the same across from him.
"Father?" I spoke.
"Poseidon, can I have a moment with my son?" Hades looked at his brother.
"Yes, but don't be too hard on him..." And Poseidon was gone.
"Nico. I don't know what to say..." He wouldn't look at me. He just looked disappointed and that was worse than if he started yelling at me.
"Then let me start. I'm sorry, I screwed up." I saw a small smile at that, gods, so immature, "We used protection and everything, but I guess we're that one percent that it doesn't work for... But I will tell you this, I may be sorry this is happening, but I will not under any circumstances, leave that baby or Thalia, for that matter, unless she wants me gone."
"And that is why I don't know what to say."
"What?"
"You admit you made a mistake. But then you go and tell me that no matter what I say or do, you will not leave the baby or its mother... I don't know whether to be disappointed at the mistake or proud about how your handling it..." He looked up at me and offered a small smile.
We didn't speak for ten minutes, "What do you know about the baby? Hera was speaking, but I didn't eavesdrop... "
"Its a baby girl. She has black hair and grey eyes. And she is going to be the biggest danger magnet known to god..."
"That might not be true... I'm pretty sure Percy has pissed off enough monsters that they will go out of their way just to find his kids..." My dad joked. It was true, Percy had killed and fought more monster than even Thalia. I bet even Thalia and my monster slaying scores combined couldn't beat his.
"Dad, that doesn't help at the moment..."
"Think about it this way... This baby girl will always be in either camp, the Underworld, or Mount Olympus. Those are three of the four safest places in the universe, and I be Poseidon would allow you to bring her to his palace once in a while... Then she also has a mother and father who love her. Plus Annabeth was up all night with Thalia, and Thalia's with Percy and Katerina now, and they are taking care of her. You have your sister. And you have Hera and I for sure, Zeus you may need to wait a bit for... The point is, that baby girl is going to have a bunch of friends and family to keep her safe. So while she's the biggest danger magnet known to god, she will also be the safest person known to god."
"Thanks dad."
"Not a problem, now go to sleep, tomorrow, er, today is going to be interesting..."
