Athena and Poseidon: you think everything is cute.
Ares: wait how did they get under the piano?
Movie: *alex wakes up and bonks his head underneath the piano. He slowly eases out under the piano and slips some pants on just as the phone rings. Quietly he picks up the phone and walks outside to the balcony and answers it* Hello?

Athena and Poseidon: *glances at each other and suddenly turns red*
Aphrodite: Oh my gods yes! I remember that day! It was so magical! Except when I lost fifty drachmas to Hera and Demeter. Felt so cheated!
Thorakis: whoa wait what happened? What did you lose fifty drachmas to?
Athena: *glares at Ares and Aphrodite and brandishes her spear* if a single word escapes your lips, I'll skewer you both where you're standing!
Poseidon: besides, it was our first time so we didn't know any better.
Athena: *freezes and looks at Poseidon* POSEIDON!?
Poseidon: what? *blinks*
Ares and Aphrodite: just so everyone is clear, we did not just spill the beans.

Chapter 11
A Happy New Years Surpise
(Poseidon's pov)
*Mall in New York City*
The cool thing about Christmas and New Years was that they were only a week apart. The bad thing about it were the Christmas sales, the New Year's Day sale, and the transformation of women becoming blood thirsty shopaholics. Throughout my past, this was the week where myself and the other Gods-besides the Goddesses-got together and prayed that the week would go by fast or that there was nothing left to buy at the stores.
This year was different. Instead of hiding away for a week, I was going to be spending it with Athena. Thankfully she wasn't like Hera, Aphrodite, and Demeter but then again...Aphrodite was the mastermind behind all the related shopping kidnapping quests.
"After Christmas sales! I love it!" Squealed Aphrodite as she nearly barreled her way through a mob of angry shoppers, "Discounts on my favorite brands and designers! Oh my god discounts on Victoria Secret bras!"
At the word "Bra" Ares snapped his head towards the overcrowded Victoria Secret and yanked Aphrodite towards it yelling, "MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY!"
Hera shook her head as she watched her son disappear into the sea of shoppers and sighed, "That's what I get for marrying Zeus, one normal daughter, one crippled son, and one horny boy. Why did I have to be the Goddess of Marriage? Why!?"
Demeter shrugged, "Hey I'd rather be the Goddess of Marriage rather than the Goddess of Agriculture. I mean come on; seriously my power is growing fruits and vegetables. How is that attractive?"
"Well you did manage to attract Tiger Woods when you both did that 'Wheat' cereal commercial," I said laughing, "True love at first wheat! Is that why he developed a sex addiction?"
Athena and the other Goddess snickered as a deep red tinge appeared on Demeter's cheeks, "Shut up Poseidon!"
"I wonder, did you rock his world? Because rumors has it that he kept moaning out your name with each woman he slept with."
Another round of snickers and laughter escaped the other Goddesses lips as Demeter literally began to glow a deep red, "At least I can rock worlds, unlike some. You can't even make the move on Athena! And you call yourself the Earthshaker."
This time it was the women's turn to snicker and laugh at me while Athena blushed a deep crimson. Truth was, she was always the first to act on it but it would always end in an abrupt stop due to her clumsiness. She looked up at me sheepeslessly and shrugged, "It's not my fault, Aphrodite has super heightened foreplay ears."
My eyes widen as did the others, strangely it was Hera that reacted in a strange yet very mother like way, "Athena! Language! And is it because he's small?"
Athena looked up and thought about it but thankfully I put a stop to it right then and there, "Okay first off, eww. The info of my size is only for Athena to know."
Demeter scoffed, "You said the same thing when you knocked me up with Arion."
"I was drunk then so shut up!" I growled giving her the evil eye as she simply smirked back in response. Demeter was just weird.
Hera and Demeter both shared look before rolling their eyes and shaking their heads, their facial expression showing signs of annoyance, "Men."
"Well you must love bacon because you keep marrying us."
"Bro, we only marry your kind because the parts fit."
"Is that the only reason why?"
"Some of ya'll ain't even good at that."
Hera nodded her head in agreement, "I'll say."
I raised an eyebrow to protest but she shook her head and held her hand up to silence me, "No not you. That never happened between us. I was talking about our manwhore of a brother/husband."
Just then the sky rumbled with thunder followed by the booming voice of Zeus, "I heard that!"
Now normally, when this happens, Hera would have done one of three things: one, she would quickly apologize to Zeus. Two, she would simply roll her eyes and continue on with her ranting of her husband's affairs. Or three, all of the above. This time however, she took a different approach, "You ain't gonna do shhhiiiiiittttt manwhoooorrrreeeee! You ain't gonna do shhhiiiiittt! You ain't gonna do shit! You ain't gonna do it! You ain't gonna do shit!"
Athena and I looked at each other as Hera continued to dance while the skies began to darken into storm clouds; I wonder how far Hera would actually take this until Zeus shot his master bolt at her.
Thankfully Athena grabbed my hand and pulled me along deeper into the mall as the rest of the Goddesses were left to watch the Jerry Springer like argument happen before them live in person.
Athena looked over at me once we were finally a good distance away from them before laying her head on my shoulder, "Is it safe to say that that was embarrassing yet interesting?"
I managed a laugh at her statement and wrapped an arm around her waist bringing her body closer to mine, "Yes it was, I've never seen Hera challenge Zeus like that before. I guess she's been watching a lot of Kevin Hart on Hephaestus TV. Thank Hephaestus for creating the Olympian Netflix App."
"Yeah," Athena giggled then sighed, "Sorry for talking to Aphrodite about our...you know...moments."
Suddenly the warm feeling on my cheeks returned at the memory of Athena telling everyone just moments ago about us doing "things", "It's okay Athy...just wish there was someone else that you can talk to about that with besides Aphrodite, even if she's the Goddess of Love."
"Me too Poseidon, but who?" She looked at me and sighed, "Trust me if there was another person I could talk to about this then I would but right now it's Aphrodite. The other Goddesses are...well blah."
"Well you could always talk to Annabeth right? I mean she's the more in depth child of yours right?" I asked questioningly, "If not Aphrodite then your best next bet would be-SALLY!?"
Both Athena and I stopped in our tracks as my old lover and mother of my son appeared before us with one hand over her protruding stomach. She hadn't changed much over the years except the maturing of her body and face. Her natural beauty still shone through her skin and eyes and the almost natural smile on her lips radiated a gentle peace about her as she approached us. Well more like waddled.
Sally stopped and let out a huff of breath and she smiled at Athena then at me, "Well it seems that Percy and Annabeth were telling the truth after all. The mighty Sea God Poseidon and the cunning Wisdom Goddess Athena are a couple."
It was safe to say that I knew how Zeus felt when he ran into the Amazons that day in Costco, but I knew Sally wasn't like that. Instead she just smiled even more and patted my shoulder, "Is he treating you right Athena?"
To my right came the slight nod of my girlfriends head followed by a soft giggle, "Yes Mrs. Blofis he is, not once has he gone off to bed with another mortal woman while under my watch."
"Good because I'm happy that he has found his soul mate," said Sally causing both me and Athena to blush a deep crimson at her statement. "What brings you two here by the way?"
"Oh, nothing, just being forced to go here by Aphrodite herself," I replied grumbling, "We were trying to escape until we ran into you."
Sally laughed and rubbed her pregnant belly, "Well don't let me stop you, besides I have to get for the baby." She rubbed her stomach and beamed down at her bulge, her eyes reflecting the love for her child from her heart, "It's been awhile since I had a life growing inside of me and just like the last time, I will love this child with all my heart just like I did with Percy."
Athena reached forward and pressed the palm of her hand gently on Sally's pregnant stomach, a look of longing etched on her face as she began to rub her hand softly across my former lover's belly. Suddenly she gasped and looked up at Sally and beamed, "Oh my gods, I just felt it kick! I felt the baby kick!"
"Yeah she's a kicker," laughed Sally as she watched my girlfriend become entranced with the form of life inside of her, "Whenever someone new touches my stomach she kicks just to say 'hello'. I have strong feeling that she's gonna be a very friendly and adorable baby."
"Wait she?" I blinked and looked at Sally then at her stomach, "You're having a daughter?"
"Yes I am. I just found out the sex of the baby two weeks ago," replied Sally with glee, "When I told Paul and Percy, they were bouncing off the walls with excitement."
"Congratulations Sally," Athena was really acting strange but it was hard not to think thoroughly about it, "Did you think of a name for her yet?"
Sally looked up and thought for a moment then smiled, "I was thinking about the name Daphne. What do you two think?"
Both Athena and I looked at each other and shared a single smile before looking back at Sally and nodded, "Daphne is a great name for your little girl, Daphne Blofis."
"I like it too. I wasn't sure about how it would sound but it actually sounds nice," Sally beamed once more and hugged Athena then me, "Well I have to go, it was nice seeing you again Poseidon and nice to finally meet you Lady Athena."
"Please, just call me Athena," Athena smiled and hugged Sally once more then leaned down and rubbed her stomach, "Bye little one, hope to see you soon Daphne."
(Athena's pov)
*Starbucks Coffee house outside of the mall*
Finally after six hours of darting from store to store to wage war against 50 - 90% discount on items on after Christmas sales, all of us were seated inside a surprisingly not so busy Starbucks sipping hot coffee or frappuccino as we rested our feet from our long trek inside the labyrinth of mall stores.
Yet, as relaxing it was just to be around Poseidon and the other Goddesses, my mind was still in turmoil after seeing my boyfriends old girlfriend.
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't jealous of her or anything. She raised her son right and because of that, my daughter has a humble loving boyfriend that is awkwardly my boyfriend's son but still, I thank Sally for raising him right. It was the pregnant element about Sally that got my mind going wonkers. Ever since Poseidon and I finally became a couple, there have been moments where things have gotten out of control but would end after going past second base. Not to mention that I was supposed to be a maiden goddess so anything past first base was a big NO.
But being with Poseidon, that all began to change when my dreams turned from pleasant walks on the shore with Poseidon to me standing knee deep in the water while watching Poseidon and a little baby girl playing in the water just a few feet away from me. Every single night, I would wake up after I would have that dream and my mind would begin think thoroughly about this while my heart would ache for it to be a reality. So seeing Sally pregnant with a baby girl inside her stomach made my new motherly instincts act up again.
"Wow I didn't expect for you to thinking about that Athena," my eyes darted to a miniature looking me standing side to side with my venti sized hot mocha coffee, "The maiden wisdom goddess thinking about pregnancy with the sea god. You really are in love with this guy aren't you?"
Before I could even reply another mini look alike of myself popped up right next to the first tiny version of me, "Logos, ease up on Athena would you? It's her first time on experiencing this, can you blame her?"
Logos rolled her eyes as she began to walk around the other mini me that had chided her, "Pathos please! Athena is a Goddess of Wisdom and she is so not being wise about this. You know how Poseidon is. I bet you as soon as he sees another girl to his liking that he would jump in her pants the first chance he gets."
Pathos shook her head and crossed her arms challenging Logos, "You're wrong Logos. Poseidon isn't like that anymore because he's finally with his true love who is also known as Athena. I mean have you seen him lust for another girl besides Athena?"
"Well…no?"
"Then I rest my case. Poseidon fully belongs to Athena and no one else! Not even Aphrodite can seduce him and you know she has a perfect track record for that."
Both of them shared a look and shuddered at the same time before looking back to me, well on top of my head, "Ethos! Finally you show up!"
From the top of my head leapt down Ethos who had huge grin plastered on her face, "Logos, Pathos is right. Besides, I know something you both don't know."
"Including me?" I asked intrigued.
Ethos nodded with a smug look, "Yes, you included. It's a secret that was entrusted to me by the fates themselves. The only hint that they allowed me to tell you all was the name Briseis."
Pathos, Logos, and I blinked at the same time, "Briseis? How's that a hint!? It's just a name!"
Ethos in response just winked as she snapped her fingers and disappeared back into my body leaving Pathos and Logos fuming, well more Logos than Pathos. It seemed that Pathos figured out the Ethos' hint because she gave me a knowing look and she too winked before disappearing back into my heart.
Logos was the only one left and was the only one left clueless, "This is so not fair! Why do they get to know before I do!? I'm your mind for Olympus sakes!"
I shrugged and tilted my head to the side completely lost to what just happened, "Hey you aren't the only one. I don't even know what the name Briseis is suppose to mean."
"Hmph, well whatever the case may be, I hope I can figure this out soon," and with that she disappeared back into my head leaving me, for the first time, in total loss for words.
*December 31st, New Years Eve*
A few days later it was finally New Years Eve. The shopping quests were done for the day and families were getting ready for the countdown happening in Times Square. Normally the Gods and Goddesses wouldn't participate with the New Year mortal festives but this year was different. The war with Kronos was over and both Camp Half-blood and Olympus was healing and flourishing from the scars that the war had left behind. Seeing this, Zeus declared an all out party mingle in Times Square right under the mortals noses to reward the heroes of the second Titan war for their acts of bravery.
And that is how Poseidon and I found ourselves seperated amongst the sea of people partying in the streets while famous musicians played on stage. After an hour of being pushed and shoved, Poseidon and I finally ran into each other at the corner of Wall Street.
My heart instantly did jumping jacks as I took a quick look at Poseidon. He was wearing dark blue jeans and black and blue Supra's while wearing a dark gray v neck shirt and a black winter coat with a New York Yankee natural fitted new era cap on his head. From across, I could see that I had made an impression on him as well as he blushed at the outfit I was wearing. Thanks to Annabeth, I was wearing skinny jeans, black boots, a sea green long sleeve sweatshirt underneath my grey winter coat. An emerald colored scarf was wrapped around my neck and a New York Jets beanie covering my head from the chilly winter night.
We both smiled at each other as he held his arms out and I gladly ran to them, throwing my arms around his neck as his own arms wraped around my waist holding me close. For the entire day we were seperated from one another due to Zeus' all out Time Square mingle but after seventeen hours of being apart, we were finally back together.
Poseidon slowly pulled away and placed a warm kiss on my forhead making me blush upon contact, "I missed you Athena."
My blush deepened from a bright red to a dark crimson, "I missed you too Poseidon. Blame my dad and his stupid plan for New Years Eve."
A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he looked around at the people surrounding us with a smile, "I don't know, I kinda like this idea of his. And it's also our first New Years Eve as a couple."
Now it was my turn to let out a soft chuckle, "Yeah I guess you're right. Hopefully this will be a very memorable New Years Eve for us."
Suddenly the noise of the party morphed into a screaming chorus of horns as lights from ambulances flashed throughout the city block, "It appears I spoke too soon."
We dashed into the crowd to where the paramedics were fighting their way in as a huge circle began to form near the center stage of the countdown platform. When we got there, so many things happened at once. I saw my father faint and Hera catching him while Artemis and Annabeth cradled a panting Sally Blofis in their laps. Percy, Thalia, and Nico were busy keeping the crowd of on lookers at bay while Apollo and Mythos were trying to claw they're way towards Artemis and Annabeth.
Then from the other side of the circle burst forth Paul Blofis as he ran towards his wife who was panting even harder now, "Oh my god Sally what happened!?"
Sally was in too much pain and discomfort to even reply but thankfully Annabeth answered for her, "Mr. Blofis, your wife has gone into labor, we need to get her to the hospital now!"
Paul nodded and glanced over at Zeus, "Dear god what happened to him?"
Hera looked up at Paul and shook her head, "Water broke into his beer cup. Don't ask how."
Paul, Poseidon, Apollo, Mythos, Percy, and Nico all made an "oh" sound as if they understood but their facial expressions confirmed their suspicions...it was unsettling.
The medics finally broke their way through the sea of people and managed to get Percy, Paul, Annabeth, and Sally into the ambulance and sped off to the nearest Hospital. I looked at Poseidon who quickly nodded and led the way to a nearby parking structure. We ran up and up through four levels of parked cars until we came across a blazing red 2013 BMW.
Without thinking, Poseidon walked over to the drivers side and opened the door with a surprised look on his face, "Huh, I thought Apollo's sun chariot would be guarded with advanced security locks."
I ran over to the passenger side and hoped in, "You sure Apollo will be okay with this? I mean this is the sun you know and you're a sea god."
Poseidon closed his door and pressed the button putting the engine in ignition, "I know it's the sun but don't worry, I've driven this a hundred times."
"And he's okay with it?"
"Um...yeah sure he is," before I could even reply, he shifted the gear into reverse and we shot out of the parking space then lurched forward as we drove back the way we came until we hit the thankfully empty streets just past Times Square.
We sped through four red lights and made ten U-turns until finally we pulled into the Hospital's parking lot.
"Was it this hectic when Percy was born?" I asked as both of us walked past the sliding front doors.
"Yes it was, but I went straight into the room with Sally," said Poseidon as he told the nurse why were here, "I feel sorry for Percy and Paul right now."
I looked over at Poseidon as we took an elevator to the third floor where Sally was put in until the baby was really ready to come out, "Why are you sorry for them? They're about to have another importan person come into their lives. Shouldn't you be happy for them?"
"I am," countered Poseidon, "It's Sally that I'm talking about. She...lets just say that she isn't the Sally that you met at the mall when she's in labor. She becomes the She-Hulk just minus the green."
I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the elevator when we reached the third floor, "Come on, child birth and labor is not that grueling to women."
"SOMEONE GET THE DOCTOR NOW!"
My entire stopped in its tracks as I watched Sally nearly crush Paul's hand in her grip while squeezing Percy's neck with her other hand. Poseidon stood there beside me and whipered, "You still think I'm making this up or is this enough proof for you?"
(Poseidon's pov)
*New York City Hospital*
Seven hours. That's how long it took for Sally to become fully dialated. It took seven hours for little Daphne to say, "Okay mommy I'm ready to come out now."
Even when she was pregnant with Percy her mood swings and violence level wasn't this high and it was only a mortal baby! For seven hours we endured constant scratching, bone crushing grips, endless wails and screaming, heads overloaded with cuss words that we've all heard before and some new ones. But that all died down when she recieved her epidural...then five minutes later the Hell resumed but double the force. To make it totally unfair, it was only us guys that recieved the brutal treatment. The girls, that being only Annabeth and Athena, were the only ones that were spared and were aloud to even get near Sally. That and the nurse and doctors as well who were all surprisingly women. Go figure.
Finally, when the clock on the wall reached 11:58 pm, the doctor announced the good news, Sally was ready to push...and the guys were ready to leap for joy and sigh in relief.
How we got to stay inside the room I don't know but it was two minutes packed with action as the doctor told Sally to push for the first time. Sally let a loud wail followed by a high pitched squeal from Paul as Sally gripped his hand tighter than before.
11.59.
Another push followed by screaming and insane amounts of curse words used as the baby's head began to crown and Percy hitting the floor at the sight of it while I kept thinking Man she's going to have a lot of hair.
Then when she pushed for the third time, Sally's screams were followed by sounds of crying that belonged to Paul as he hugged his crushed hand to his chest but that soon ended when the sounds of a new born baby resonated throughout the room.
Percy instantly woke up then fainted once again when he woke up to the placenta detaching but a minute later he was back on his feet standing right beside Annabeth as all of us watched the nurses hand Sally her new baby girl.
The tiny bundle of joy was wrapped up in pink blankets and coping softly as she took in her new surroundings for the first time. She had brown eyes just like Sally and Paul and some key facial features that mirrored her mothers.
Sally smiled, finally back to normal as she rocked little Daphne in her arms then looked up at Paul and Percy teary eyed, "Paul, Percy, I'm sorry for putting you through that. But it's over now and the turmoil was worth it."
She gazed down at Daphne who was staring up at her mother cooing and softly tapped her little nose with her own and whispered, "She was worth it."
Percy stared at his little sister and blinked, "So I was that small when I was born?"
Annabeth rolled her eyes and playfully elbowed him in the rubs, "We were all small like that when we were born seaweed brain. Well except for my mom, she came out of Zeus' split skull."
Paul looked at Annabeth then at Athena then shrugged, "I am not going to even ask how."
"Don't worry Paul," chuckled Percy as he wrapped an arm around Annabeth's waist, "I said the samething when we traveled into the Labyrinth."
Annabeth blushed and looked up at Percy, "That was also when we first shared our first kiss-Hey it's already January first!"
All of us looked at the clock on the far side of the wall, it's long and small arms both sitting in the same position: 12:00 am.
I looked back at Sally and Daphne and smiled, "Looks like Daphne is a New Years baby."
Sally nodded and beamed down at her daughter, "Yes she is. Happy New Years Daphne Blofis, welcome to the start of your first year in this world."
(Athena's pov)
*Penthouse*
After spending two hours with Sally and new born baby girl Daphne, Poseidon and I finally managed to get home despite being tired from today's and yesterday's events.
When we got home, the lights were off and and wrappers of food were strewn all across the floor as Ares and Aphrodite slept on the floor cuddled up together under the blankets. Without waking them up, we tiptoed to Poseidon's room and slipped inside quietly closing the door without a single noise before we both flopped onto his bed exhausted.
Poseidon was the first to speak after several minutes of silence, "Never thought I'd spend our first New Years Eve and New Years day at the hospital."
I giggled softly as I rolled over onto his body as gazed down at him with a smile, "Well I did say that this New Years for us was going to be memorable. I guess the fates granted my wish."
He rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around my waist, his sea green eyes just gazing into my own stormy grey ones, "I'm glad that I got spend New Years with you. To start the year off very differently than other years past makes it even more meaningful."
I tilted my head to the side and pressed my forhead against his gently, "How is that love?"
"Because I would either spend them alone or booty hunting with Zeus and Ares," he said distastefuly but then his eyes lit up as he rubbed his nose against mine in a sweet Eskimo kiss, "But this year, I got to spend it with the girl of my dreams, you. I'd say the three thousand year old wait was worth it."
"Yes I guess it was," I said feeling giddy all of a sudden, "But honestly, I wish you made your move sooner."
We both laughed and just held each other close until our eyes met once again, this time the look in both of our eyes were filled with passion and a long awaited ache for the next level of our relationship.
A warm sensation crept up our cheeks as I leaned down and kissed his lips softly then whispered, "Poseidon...I think I'm ready..."
Poseidon blinked and blinked some more until realization hit him, "Oh...oh! Are you sure Athena? We can wait just a little bit longer if you want, no pressure or anything."
Suddenly I pinned his arms above his head and fought the urge to laugh as his shocked expression at my sudden aggression, "Poseidon, honey, we've waited three thousand years to finally be together...I think we've waited long enough don't you think?"
He nodded and leaned up kissing me fully on the lips as we flipped spots so that he was on top and I was underneath him, our passion combined emanating throughout the room as one by one our articles of clothing came off. Just like Aphrodite said, when it was the one person you love and cared about, it was magical and that's how it was as the first day of the New Year began with a new level of love for us both.
