OK guys, I'm sure you want to murder me right now but let me explain. I went to a sleepover and I apparently told my parents I would call them to pick me up and when I didn't they got worried. So I was grounded but now I'm not because it's my birthday today, July 5th. So now, without further ado, I give you, chapter 11!

Disclaimer: So, as I'm sure you all know, the first Twilight book was published in 2003, the same year I was 6. PJO was published in 1999, the same year I was 2. Do you think a 2 and or 6 year old could have written those amazing series? No? Is that your final answer? Good, because you're correct. Now that we've all figured out that I don't own, nor have I written these fabulous series, I give you: The Cheap Knock-off!

Bella P.O.V.

The first thing Aphrodite did was squeal like a pig.

"OMG! You guys are the perfect couple! Look, the bronze tone off Edward's hair offsets your brunette perfectly! And he's the perfect height for you; the whole get-up-on-the-tops-of-your-toes-to-kiss-him-thing is so romantic! Wouldn't you agree Hera?"

I looked around. While Aphrodite had been talking our ears off, Hera had appeared in a puff of godly smoke.

"Hmm," Hera mused as she looked at us appraisingly, "They are the right height. And this Edward has a good sense of commitment. Although, he is very scared that Bella will die with the prophecy. I also sense everlasting marriage, and beautiful kids."

Ok, I knew the gods (accepting Ares) weren't stupid. But, Edward and I had known each other for the whopping amount of 4 days! What did these goddesses think they were doing? Way to freak a guy out; talk about marriage on their 2nd kiss! And, again, although I knew the goddesses could be a bit bubbly and…blondish at times, even a retard knew vampires couldn't have kids!

But, as I thought about the reality of what they just said, I felt strangely disappointed. The only factor in the conversation that was even slightly plausible was Edward marrying me, and that could never happen. When you had so many other choices, why would you choose a demigod to spend eternity with?

Anyways, Edward seemed to be thinking the same thing as me, as he opened his mouth almost immediately.

"Umm… I mean no disrespect when I say that is impossible. I assure you I would be more than happy to marry Bella, but kids are impossible for vampires. Although, if we can and we don't know, I would be happy to know how that's possible. Esme, Rosalie, and Carlisle would surely be curious…"

Edward trailed off at the end, but it didn't matter to me as I wasn't paying the slightest attention. I vaguely heard Hera and Aphrodite respond, but it all went over my head.

Edward would be more than happy to marry me? ME?Why would anyone be happy to marry accident-prone, freak of nature, Isabella Swan?

"Bella, Bella," Edward was saying. I quickly refocused and met Edward's insanely worried eyes. He was that worried that I hadn't responded a couple of times? Maybe he did love me…

Something inside my brain clicked then, and I had a mini-epiphany. Edward had no reason to lie and tell me things. He had no reason to kiss me even though he had blood lust. He had no reason to treat me with extreme care, or always be worried about me, or come with me to camp.

At least, other than the fact that he loved me…. No! That could never happen! Shaking my head, I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, and stuck a pin in it. (AN: HA HA. Anyone know where that quote's from?)

"So, as you see, it is very possible for vampires to have children, just not female vampires. Their bodies just can't change correctly," Hera was saying.

"Of course, the male vampire in question would have to have the restraint. Although, I'm sure that won't be a problem in your…unique situation. Ah, the wonders of young love," said Aphrodite.

Poor Edward seemed to be in shock. The knowledge that he could do that, that we could do that, shocked him out of his pants.

However, for the record, it shocked me out of my pants too. Suddenly, a future without the prophecy and with Edward and our children seemed incredibly tantalizing.

"I-you-that's possible?" I asked Hera and Aphrodite.

"No, we're just telling you because we're evil," said Aphrodite sarcastically, "Of course it's true! So I suggest, Bella that you finish this prophecy, and start a life. You'll have to change Bella, Edward, because you won't be able to live without her, and then the child would be eternally parentless. Although, you guys will probably have sex during or before the battle/war because Bella is very impatient. Anyways, once everything has settled down and you have children-Bella's a vampire- you guys can live happily-ever-after! Oh I just love those! What about you Hera?"

"I'll admit they are quite nice," said Hera drily.

My head was spinning. It was all suddenly too much to process, and my knees buckled. Edward caught me before I could hit my head.

"Umm, Hera, Aphrodite?" asked Edward. They turned toward him.

"I'm sorry, but could you please excuse us? This seems like a lot for Bella to handle at the moment and, quite frankly, I'm quite stressed as well…"

He trailed off, still looking thoroughly mind blown.

"You are right vampire. Aphrodite and I shall leave you now. We wish you the best of luck!" said Hera as she disappeared in an eruption o flames.

"Yes, Hera is right. I wish you all the best of luck as well, and don't forget protection!" shouted Aphrodite as she too dissolved, this time into designer perfume.

As soon as they disappeared, Edward half-carried, half-dragged me over to the bed. I sat down, wanting nothing more than to sleep. The stress of spying, kissing Edward, two goddesses in one night… I could barely keep hold of my sanity.

Numbly, I stumbled to my feet and started opening a few drawers. Forgetting I had an audience, I shed my all black mission clothes and traded them for a flannel pajama set. When I turned toward the bed, newly clad in my PJ's, I flushed in embarrassment. If there was any chance of Edward staying, it was gone now that he had seen me in my underwear.

Nevertheless, I ignored him and got in bed. If we had to talk, I saw no need to be uncomfortable. While I snuggled under the covers, Edward shifted uncomfortably. I motioned for him to join me in the bed, even though just thinking the thought embarrassed me. He shot me a look that said, are you sure?

I nodded yes, and Edward came to lie next to me. Even with him above the covers so I wouldn't freeze to death, this was the best to sleep. I laid my head against his chest and waited for the onslaught. He broke the silence eventually.

"What happened to you Bella?" he asked. His voice was so full of pain; I wanted to go back in time to that moment where I had been so forgetful, so utterly human.

"It was a quest," I said eventually, "Annabeth was leading the quest into the labyrinth and we came across a sphinx. She wanted to ask us a riddle, so of course Annabeth stepped up being the smartest of us all. The Sphinx asked her general knowledge questions and Annabeth thought it an insult to her intelligence. I got in the way of its attack on her, and the monster's claws found my skin." I finished my story sadly, remembering that night. By the time we had found the underground river and Pan's hiding place, I had lost so much blood I could hardly walk. The water was able to heal me, like Percy, but the scars remained.

Edward and I were silent for awhile, until he spoke.

"Why do you get into such dangerous positions?" he asked.

The question surprised me, I though the answer was obvious.

"I'm the child of the prophecy," I said sadly, "I should have never been born."

"Well I'm quite happy you were born," he stated. I blushed.

"Thanks."

We continued in silence until Edward got frustrated.

"What are you thinking? It's still so strange for me, not knowing."

"Well at least it deflated your head a bit," I teased. But he continued to stare at me seriously.

"I'm just thinking about what Aphrodite and Hera said," I sighed. Then blushed when I thought about everything they said.

"Oh….yes, that," said Edward uncomfortably.

"Yes that. Do you know how tempting it sounds? A perfect life, without the stress of the prophecy. Without the stress of my life hanging on a string every day. A life with you, forever… it sounds so certain. And, if Aphrodite is right, a child…" my voice trailed off as I imagined a child with Edward's bronze hair and my changing color eyes.

"I know what you mean though, I don't actually. I just want you to be safe and happy. And I don't want to hurt you. I don't know about children, Bella. I also don't know about your prophecy. I do know that you the smartest, bravest, most beautiful person I've ever met, and I'm not sure if I deserve you. Your soul is so beautiful, and I don't have a soul to give you. I don't even have a heart to give you."

My first thought was, Edward's being crazy, no soul? And he didn't deserve me? That wasn't true, neither was it true the other way around. Edward helped me realize that I was a completely deserving person, and I was going to show him.

"Edward, you deserve some happiness for once! I'm willing to risk an angry Zeus and a pissed of, territorial Rosalie to be with you! You'd better take that back or I swear I'll-"

I didn't get to finish my threat, which was unformed anyway. Edward kissed my lips, effectively shutting me up.

For a while it was silent while we made out. If felt weird making out in my bed, but I knew we weren't going to do anything-not tonight, anyhow. When Edward pulled away, I felt exhausted. My eyes started to drift close as I slipped into the land of Morpheus. Edward whispered something in my ear before I subdued completely.

"I love you."

Those little words were the three best words I had ever heard. I didn't hesitate to answer.

"I love you too," I said before dreams overcame me.
