My Gods, it's been a while. Anyway, before we begin, I would like to bring attention to something. Every now and then, I Google my username. I do this to keep an eye on where my art goes, since I only upload to DeviantArt and Facebook, though for the last one, I use my real name. But that's beside the point. I noticed something interesting the last time I did it. Someone has uploaded a Spanish translation of one of my stories, specifically this one, on Wattpad. Now since they've properly credited me as the true author, I see no reason to report them, but it should be known that they did so without my permission. As of this chapters publishing, no one has asked for my permission to translate my stories into other languages. If any of you find any other authors, whether on this site or another, writing a translation of any of my stories, I would really appreciate being notified. Thank you and please enjoy this chapter.

Percy took his next free day to get away from the camp and visit home. As Artemis was teaching that day, he decided to take Aurora to meet her grandma. Aurora was secured to him via a baby carrier harness as he flew Blackjack to Manhattan. Even though she was perfectly safe and secure, Percy felt complied to hold her steady with one hand and ask Blackjack to fly slow. Aurora spent most of the trip asleep, but when she was awake she would make noises and try to touch clouds as they passed by.

When they arrived in the city, Percy had Blackjack land on a building that could easily hide him and made the rest of the trip on foot. Aurora proved to have every bit of her mother's confidence, as she made noises and waved, or at least tried to wave, at every person they passed on the way, which really just went to show how used to large groups she was. When they finally arrived, Percy noticed his mom and Paul unloading from a morning grocery shop. He couldn't help but smile at that mundane, yet peaceful part of of the ordinary persons life.

"Need any help?" Percy announced his presence to the pair.

"Oh, Percy," his mom greeted him, "I didn't know you were coming..." she trailed off as she noticed the baby strapped to her son's chest, "... Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"Is that baby...?"

"Uh..." Percy feigned confusion as he pulled Aurora out of her harness, who began fussing once she was free of the thing, and gave her a playful once over, "Yeah, she's mine." He turned her around to face her grandma, "Aurora, say hi to grandma."

Aurora reached out for Sally the moment she saw her and made much louder noises than she had with the strangers on the way. In response, Sally set the groceries she was holding down and carefully took her granddaughter into her arms, barely holding back her tears at how beautiful she was. When she was finally situated and comfortable, Aurora noticed Paul behind her grandmother, who gave her a little wave.

"Hello," he greeted in a soft voice.

"A-oh." She mimicked, wave and all.

"You're a smart little cookie, aren't you?" Sally chuckled at her granddaughter.

"Well," Percy knelt down to pick up the groceries his mother had set down, "She is the daughter of Artemis."

...

Back at Camp Half-Blood, Artemis had just finished her final class of the morning. She let out a yawn and stretched her back out until she heard a pop. All the teaching she had done over the past couple of days had built up a chink in her back, one that she had just relieved herself of. She let out a sigh as a wave of relief washed over her back.

"It's been so long since I've trained more than five people at a time," she muttered to herself, "I'm out of practice."

She watched her students leave, still talking excitedly about her training despite how strict she had been, especially towards the boys. She then spotted a pair of campers further away, sneaking off into the woods. From the way the girl was giggling, it was blindingly obvious what they were sneaking off to do. She chuckled as it gt her thinking that it had been a while since she and Percy had gotten any private time.

"Percy said he was visiting his mother today," Artemis mumbled, getting an idea, "this may be a good opportunity."

With her plan set, Artemis flashed over to the Poseidon cabin and began her preparations.

...

Percy pulled Aurora's lunch bottle out of the cooler bag he had brought with him while Aurora played with her grandma. While Percy warmed it up in the microwave, Paul noticed a second bottle in the bag.

"Percy," he caught his stepson's attention, "do you want to put that second one in the freezer so it doesn't go bad?"

"Hm?" Percy looked to what Paul was gesturing to, "Oh. No thanks. It came from a Goddess, so it won't go bad for a while."

"And how long is 'a while'?" Paul asked.

"Not sure, I just know that Artemis scolded me yesterday for dumping a day old bottle. Could be fine for a week for all I know."

"A week and a half at room temperature to be specific," Artemis announced her presence from the fire escape, causing everyone to jump and Percy to almost spill the freshly warmed milk, "that is, if my sister's calculations are correct, but you know Athena."

"I thought you were gonna make a day with the Hunt after you finished class," Percy recalled their conversation before he left the camp.

"I was, but then I remembered that we haven't had a proper moment of privacy since you proposed," Percy tensed up at those words, as they were being said right in front of his mother. Artemis ignored the reaction and reached into her pocket, "You also forgot this," She said as she pulled out a stuffed wolf.

Aurora made excited sounds when she spotted her favorite toy, all the while Sally gave her son a look demanding an explanation. Said son simply gestured to his wife, implying that it was her idea in the first place. Sally's look softened a bit, but still gave off an air of disappointment.

"Paul," Sally addressed her husband, "maybe it would be a good idea for you and Percy to go out for some father-son bonding?"

"Huh?" Artemis looked at her mother-in-law in shock, "but I came to get Percy for-"

"And you and I," Sally cut the goddess off, "are going to have some mother-daughter-granddaughter time."

Artemis quieted down at the look she was getting from Sally. It was gentle, but it let her know clear as day that she messed up. The men, knowing all too well when Sally was in a bad mood, quickly scrambled out the door to give the women their privacy.

"Artemis," Sally began, "there is nothing more important to me than my son. And I know that Percy feels similarly towards this child. With that in mind, I want to know everything that happened between his proposal and now."

Artemis sat on the floor, feeling fear towards a mortal that she didn't think was possible. She knew that there was no escape from this situation without giving her mother-in-law what she wanted. Knowing what was ahead of her, she gave a nervous gulp and began explaining the events of the past few weeks.
