Percy couldn't remember much of the wedding, mainly because it was a confusing mess that only Athena could remember in it's entirety. All he could remember was seeing Annabeth walking down the aisle and the next thing he knew, they were married. Afterwards, Annabeth interacted with her parents, then her new in-laws, danced with Percy and retired to bed before she had a chance to be tempted by the drinks. Percy wished he could've spent more time with her, but his job and his duties, along with her pregnancy, heavily limited the amount of time he could spend with her. Percy sighed as he leaned on the balcony banister. Artemis spotted him from the celebration and knew from spousal intuition that he was distressed about the little time he spent with his second wife. She joined him on the balcony and, rather than pursue the subject, decided to put his mind on something else.

"Percy?" She got his attention, "I've been thinking about something." She took a deep breath, "The bond you share with Calypso is symbolized by a flower that blooms in moonlight, right?" Percy nodded, "Well, with that in mind, I believe that giving our second daughter a lunar themed name would be in bad taste. It would be far more appropriate for your child with Calypso to have such a name, wouldn't you agree?"

Percy stared at Artemis. He knew she was more generous than others realized, but even he never expected her to extend that generosity to a child of a Titan. That is, until he remembered how close she was to Zoe. Percy sighed in a mix of disbelief and relief.

"Then what should we name her?" Percy asked, gesturing to the noticeable bump in Artemis' dress.

"Well, I was thinking of something on the aquatic side."

"You want to name our daughter after water?"

"Selene's named after snow."

"Touche."

Percy started chuckling at their conversation, not because he thought it was funny, but because it brightened up his mood. His chuckles turned into full blown laughter as Artemis joined in. The laughed for several minutes before a yawn from Percy broke it.

"Go on," Artemis gestured in, giving him a warm smile, "I'm sure her baby will appreciate your body heat."

"You wanna rephrase that so it sounds normal?"

"Go!"

Percy gave her a kiss as he passed. He then made his way through the guests to escape the room. He took the elevator to his room and changed into pajamas before heading for Annabeth's room. He carefully opened her door and closed it behind him, quietly making his way to her bed. He leaned down and brushed the hair out of her sleeping face, then climbed in and cuddled with his first love and their gift to the world.

...

The next morning, Annabth woke up, feeling someone breathing on her stomach. She looked down to find Percy, out like a light, keeping as close as possible to their unborn child without disturbing it. She ran her fingers through his hair, causing him to close what little distance there was between them. There was no denying that his fatherly instincts were only getting sharper. More than anything, she wanted to stay with him like this a little longer, but a glance towards the clock told her that it wasn't to be. Percy needed to wake up so he could get to work and, pregnant or not, she still had school. Annabeth sighed and began to shake Percy awake.

...

Percy and Aurora worked together for a particularly large party at the restaurant. The number of screaming children in this group alone made Percy yearn for the class of the VIP Lounge, or even the wing scented Sports Lounge. When they finally got back to the kitchen, they both let out exasperated sighs.

"I never thought I'd miss bounty hunting so much," Aurora groaned.

"To be honest, I'd rather fight Kronos all over again than go back to that table," Percy wiped the sweat off his brow.

"Four Cheese Lasagna with side Garden Salad." A chef announced a finished dish.

"A waiters work is never done," Percy sighed as he loaded the dish onto a platter to take to it's table.

The afternoon dragged on with dish after dish, guest after guest until closing time finally came. For tonight's cooking lesson, the Head Chef taught Percy how to make five star Marinara, Alfredo, and Pesto sauces from scratch. It was in these lessons that the stress of his godly life seemed to disappear, maybe because his mind was on how happy everyone would be to receive a home cooked meal rather than just having whatever. When it was time to go, Percy packed up his sauces, cleaned the dishes, wished the Head Chef a good night, and locked up before making his way home. When he arrived, he put his sauces in his personal fridge, more than one fridge was needed to accommodate the tenants as well as the house guests, and felt a chill run down his spine. He sighed as he realized who else was in the kitchen with him.

"Do they have cereal where you come from?" Percy asked as he pulled out a jug of milk.

"We hunt for all of our meals," Doxiezhe stated, eyeing Percy as he crossed the kitchen to the pantry.

"Of course you do," Percy pulled out a box of cereal and placed it and the milk on the counter. He then made his way to a cupboard and pulled out a pair of bowls, "We prefer something simpler here." Percy filled the bowls with cereal and milk and pulled a couple of spoons out of a drawer. "It's honestly a little strange, having my first and last meals of the day being breakfast, but what are you gonna do?" He offered a bowl to Doxiezhe, "At least try it. I would assume you'd be at least a little curious about your future son-in-law's diet."

Doxiezhe took the bowl and the two ate in silence. Despite that silence, Percy felt as though he and Doxiezhe were bonding, though that may have just been blind hope. Regardless, Percy gave the queen her space and retired to bed as soon as he finished eating.

...

Yes, I know it's pretty short and all over the place, I just wanted to get this done. Next chapter will skip right to summer.

That said, I still need some name ideas for Percy and Annabeths daughter, as she will most likely be a couple weeks old in the next chapter. Also, water themed name ideas for Percy and Artemis' second daughter would also be appreciated.

Thank you for sticking with me this far.
