The Queen of the Titans, Rhea, was sitting in a forest waiting for her mother Gaia. Rhea had an emergency and her mother was the only one who could help her.
"Rhea my daughter what troubles you?" Gaia asked as she approached her daughter.
Rhea embraced her mother, "Mother I'm pregnant again" she stated sadly.
"Do you want to hide the child with Zeus?"
"Mother is there any way you can convince Kronos to not eat this one?" Rhea asked almost in tears. Gaia looked at her daughter and took pity on her.
"Even if I can convince Kronos to let you keep this one, what will you do when Zeus comes to challenge his father?"
"I will convince all my children that overthrowing their father is for the best" Rhea said with absolute conviction.
"Very well my daughter, return to your husband and I will follow shortly and convince him to let you keep this child."
Rhea hugged her mother and turned to leave but stopped and turned to her mother, "How is Zeus, Mother?"
Gaia smiled, "The boy is growing strong and will be able to do what is necessary when the time comes." Rhea smiled and flashed back to Mt. Othrys, home of the Titan court.

All of the Titans were gathered in the feast hall, celebrating their rule over all the other beings of the cosmos. Kronos was bragging about the overthrow of his father, again, when suddenly Gaia entered the palace. All the Titans, minus Kronos, kneeled in the presence of the primordial goddess.
"To what do we owe the honor of your visit mother?" Kronos asked his mother.
"I have come to congratulate you on securing your throne my son."
"What do you mean mother?"
"By devouring your children you have prevented the prophecy I gave you so long ago about being overthrown."
Kronos smiled at this statement but before he could say anything Metis, the Titaness of Wisdom, spoke, "What of the child Queen Rhea currently carries?"
Gaia smiled, "That child shall be Prince of the Titans and will be crucial to the fate of his father throne."
There were many reactions around the room from shock to confusion. Kronos spoke, "I thought I had secured my throne mother?"
"You have my son, for now."
Kronos snarled, "Elaborate!"
Shocking most of the beings in the room that he would speak to a primordial in such a way. Gaia smirked at the arrogance of her son, thinking how he was acting just like his father.
"There will come a threat to your throne my son and your newest son will be crucial in the outcome of said threat."
Kronos sat there absorbing the information before speaking to his court, "The seventh child of myself and my queen will be named my heir and prince among the Titans."
Rhea smiled widely at her mother who nodded in return. Gaia knew if she played to her son's paranoia and told her son his precious throne would be in jeopardy that he would agree to almost anything she said.
"Mother you are sure it's a son?" Rhea asked from her throne.
"Yes my daughter I'm positive." And with that Gaia flashed out of her son's throne room, chuckling to herself the whole time. If her son would have paid more attention than he would have noticed she never said the child would produce a good or bad outcome to the coming threat.
Line Break
A few months after Gaia visited the Titan court, Rhea was ready to bring forth her new child. The birth of an immortal is a quick process and while not as painful as a mortal childbirth, Rhea still felt a near unbearable stab of pain as her newest son entered the world. Rhea held her new son in her arms and marveled at the fact she would actually be able to raise this one. While she just stared at her son, Kronos walked in to see his proclaimed heir.
"Rhea my wife how are you?"
Rhea smiled at her husband, "I am well my lord, come meet our son."
Kronos stepped over to her and looked down at his son. The baby had a tuft of brown hair, a mother's skin coloring, and when he opened his eyes they were so ice blue that they were almost white. Kronos smiled at the boy who besides the eyes was a carbon copy of his mother. He slipped his finger into his new sons hand and was surprised when the baby squeezed it and it actually hurt the Titan Lord.
"The boy is incredible strong" Kronos said shaking his sore finger.
Rhea chuckled at this, "Indeed he is my lord and that is why his name will be Carolos."
Kronos nodded at his wife's decision and left the room to announce to the court the birth of his new son. Rhea cried a bit at the thought of her five eldest children that were still trapped in her husband's stomach. 'My sweet Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, and Hera' she thought sadly. She kissed her newest sons head and whispered, "One day my son you and your siblings will set things right."
A/N: Thanks for reading this is my first attempt to write PJATO fanfic. Leave a review positive or negative. Hope you enjoyed. BTW Carolos means strong or strength in Greek.
