Since it's Tyson's day protecting Thalatta, Percy and Annabeth decide to put a call in to Camp Jupiter now that Annabeth has finished teaching her Ancient Greek class. They haven't heard anything since Will and Apollo tried to do away with each other, and they haven't shared the news about their bundle of joy.
When Will appears in the image, he's in the middle of a lesson on Greek battle strategy. He promises to give them a call after he's done, so they call Piper.
"Hey guys," Piper says when she appears.
"Piper it's good to see you. How are things going," Annabeth asks.
"Pretty good, I've just come from having a meeting with some Venus kids. We were comparing notes on Mom," Piper says with a laugh.
"We called Will first but he was teaching a class. Is everything OK between his dad and him?" Percy asks.
"Yeah, I'll let him tell you how it's going with Reyna, but Apollo hasn't been back since the day of the blowup. I think it hurt their relationship a little, but I don't think they'll be fighting again," Piper explains.
"Any news with you and Mr. Grace?" Annabeth asks with a smile.
"Noooo," Piper says drawing out the word, "I don't know why everyone is in such a hurry to marry us off," she continues. "We're very happy just as we are."
"Even your dad?" Annabeth asks, "He doesn't mind you two living together?"
"Well he doesn't exactly know about that part," Piper says with a grin.
"What about the sex part, does he know about that?" Percy laughs.
"No," Piper tells him.
"What!" Annabeth asks, since her husband just got Piper to admit something.
"Please don't tell everybody," Piper says, "We weren't planning on it happening, but we fell asleep one night lying on his bed talking, and the next morning it just happened."
"Did you use protection?" Percy asks sternly.
"Not the first time," Piper says sheepishly, "But I'm not pregnant. Trust me."
"Then you've continued to do it?" Annabeth asks curiously.
"Hades yeah, it was too amazing to not," Piper says with a laugh. "So how's married life?" she asks changing the subject to them.
"Great, but we have something to tell you," Annabeth says with a smile.
"You're pregnant!" Piper says excitedly.
"Not exactly," Percy says then goes to the crib and brings Sophia back to the image.
"I don't understand," Piper says. Percy and Annabeth then fill her in on their little miracle.
"Guys, she's beautiful," Piper tells them, "Jason's going to be upset he wasn't here to see her."
"He can IM back later," Percy says then kisses his daughter and wife and says, "Babe, I have to run. I'm teaching sword class today."
"Bye Percy," Piper tells him then she and Annabeth get down to some serious girl talk.
As Percy is walking back from teaching his class, an IM comes through from Will Solace. "Will, what's up man?" Percy asks when he answers.
"Percy, rumors are flying around there that you're a papa already," Will says.
"Not a rumor buddy," Percy says then tells him about a god bringing their angel to them and he and Annabeth agreeing to accept her as their own. He doesn't tell Will which god, and Will doesn't ask. "So how are you and Apollo?"
"We aren't trying to kill each other if that's what you mean," Will says with a smile. "I'm not sure we'll ever be like we were before."
"Have you and Reyna made any decisions about a relationship," Percy asks.
"Yeah," Will says then nothing more.
"You're gonna leave me hanging?" Percy asks in surprise.
"No, sorry, we're going to give it a try. I moved into her houses," he explains.
"That's great man. Are you going to raise the baby as yours?" Percy asks.
"It's for the best. That protects Reyna's reputation and keeps the little one from not having a daddy as it grows up. I don't have to tell you how hard that is," Will explains.
"So have the two of you…"
"Nosy," Will says with a laugh.
"I was just curious," Percy says with a laugh of his own.
"She says I'm better," Will tells him with a proud grin, "Because I actually love her."
"I'd be willing to bet that she's serious about that," Percy tells him.
"She's an amazing woman Percy," Will continues.
"I know," Percy agrees. "So did you tell her sister that you knocked her up?" he asks thinking that with Hylla's attitude toward men she might not be too pleased about that.
"Actually we told Hylla the truth. She's one of the few people that knows about Dad," Will tells him. "Reyna didn't want to keep that from her and figured she would actually like me better if she knew the truth."
"How'd that work out," Percy asks with a chuckle.
"I'm still a guy," Will says with his own laugh, "But hey, the dogs like me."
