Selene and Sally stared at each other for a moment, then Sally took Selene into her arms, "It's okay; it's going to be okay." Sally said as she hugged Selene tightly

Sally led Selene over to the sofa and sat her down. She could see that the young woman was about to freak out and that she was going to need comfort and support. Selene sat on Sally's sofa in stunned silence, "How did this happen?"

"Well, when two people love each other," Sally said jokingly.

Selene looked at her friend and slapped her leg, "I know how it happened. I didn't think it was possible. I mean, Emmett's not human."

"Neither are you."

"Yeah, but, technically, Emmett's dead."

"Well, not completely dead if he was able to get you pregnant."

Selene stared at Sally, "I'm pregnant, Sally, what am I going to do? How does this work? Will the baby be a half-vampire, and one-quarter human and one-quarter demigod?"

"What's Emmett going to say when he finds out?" Selene's eyes suddenly widen, "Oh my gods, what's my dad going to say when I tell him? He's going to kill Emmett!"

"You don't know that for sure. Your dad may be understanding about this."

Selene deadpanned.

"Okay, more than likely not, but he's not going to kill Emmett. He wouldn't do that to you. Emmett's your imprint, Poseidon would cause you the pain of losing your imprint."

Selene started hyperventilating, "I don't know if I can do this, Sally, I never thought I'd live to be a mother. What if I'm a terrible mother? What if I screw up this child's life?" Selene gasped, "What if Emmett doesn't want it? How am I going to be away from him and raise a child on my own?! Should I even have the baby?"

Sally gripped Selene's shoulders, "Selene, Selene! You're freaking out unnecessarily. Calm down. We're going to take this one step at a time. The first thing you need to do is tell your father that you're pregnant?"

"You're pregnant!?" Percy asked the minute he walked into the living room.

Both women jumped when Percy yelled, "Percy, keep your voice down."

"Sorry, Mom. But Sel, your pregnant? How?"

"Well, when two people love each other-"

Percy rolled his eyes, "I know how, Mom, but how did a vampire impregnate my sister? He's dead!"

"Well, there are legends of incubus seducing women and having offspring with them," Sally said, "So the possibility is there if those myths are true."

"Are you saying, Sel's baby is going to be the spawn of the devil?"

"Of course not, Percy! I'm only saying that it isn't unheard of that supposedly male vampires procreate with women."

"I guess so," Selene said. Selene looked at her little brother, "Percy, don't be mad at me, okay? And I'll understand if you don't want to go now."

"Are you crazy? Of course, I'm going with you to Washington, now more than ever. I'm not going to let anything happen to my little nephew or niece if you decide to keep it," Percy said to his big sister.

Selene had always been there for Percy, and she had always been the strong one. Now seeing his sister look so vulnerable and fragile, Percy knew that it was his time to step up and help Selene in any way he could. And if that meant destroying a few monsters, then so be it.

"Thank you, Percy, I appreciate it," Selene said.

"No thanks necessary, Sel, we're family and family look out for each other."

"Does that mean you want to come with me when I go to Olympus and talk to Dad?"

"Hades yeah, I want to go. I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"Okay, then we'll go together to see Dad. But first, let's go eat; I'm starving."

Sally laughed, "That's how it's going to be, kiddo, you're starving one minute and puking the next. And your libido is going to go crazy too."

"Gee, thanks, Mom, that's just the sort of image I want in my head right before we eat," Percy told his mother, curling his lip in disgust.

Selene and Sally laughed at the look on Percy's face, "Alright, let me get Estelle, and we'll head out."

Sally went into the other room to get her daughter. After that they went out to get some Mexican food, Selene was in the mood for something spicy. Sally laughed, "Yep, I was the same way with Percy, maybe it's a demigod thing."

"No, I think it's a pregnant lady thing," Selene said as they took a cab to the closest Mexican restaurant.

When they got there and sat down to order, Selene began to request an inordinate amount of food. She ordered Caldo de Res, Flautas, Green Chicken Enchiladas, and Chicken Mole. And she still wanted dessert. Sally and Percy looked at each other, "Are you sure you have enough food, there, Selene?" Percy asked.

"What? I'm hungry!"

"We can see that. At the rate you're eating, you're going to blow up like a balloon, Sel," Percy told his sister with a smirk.

Selene stuck her tongue out at her brother and continued to eat. After having a filling lunch, they went to see a movie then went back to their apartment. By that time, Paul was home, and he was making dinner. He invited Selene to stay for dinner, but she politely declined.

"No, thank you, Paul, Percy, and I have to go see our dad right now. Then I'll take Percy out to eat afterward."

Paul nodded, "Okay. Be sure to be home by ten, Percy; you have school tomorrow."

"Okay, Paul. Bye, Mom, see you later."

With that, Selene and Percy left for the Empire State building. When they arrived, they took the elevator up to Olympus. As the elevator began to climb, Selene started to hyperventilate, "Holy Hera, Percy, I don't think I can go through with this. Dad's going to kill me," Selene said to her little brother.

Percy rolled his eyes, "He will not. He's probably going to be more pissed off that your boyfriend deflowered you than the fact he's going to be a grandpa." Percy told his older sister.

Selene glared at her brother and smacked his arm, "You're not helping."

The elevator doors opened to Olympus and getting the attention of the gods who were in the middle of a meeting. Poseidon beamed at seeing his children then and quickly stood up. He walked over to them and promptly took his mortal form, "Selene, Percy, what a surprise," Poseidon said as he hugged his children, "What brings you by?"

"Well, I came into town to bring Percy back with me to Washington for part of the summer, and I decided to stop by," Selene said nervously. She kept avoiding looking in her father's eyes.

Poseidon's brow furrowed, "Is there something else you want to tell me, Selene?"

"No, what makes you think that?"

"The fact that you're acting very nervous, you won't look me in the eyes, and your brother is staring at you in shock."

Selene lifted her head and looked at Percy, who's mouth was hanging open. He motioned with his head towards Poseidon, and Selene shook her head no, "What's going on with you two," Poseidon asked.

"Selene has something to tell you, Dad."

"No, I don't."

"Yes, you do, Sel."

"What is it, Little Starfish?"

"Nothing, it can wait until later. You were in the middle of a meeting."

"Well, since you and your brother have interrupted, you might as well inform us all, Niece," Zeus said from his seat.

"It can wait, Uncle. Percy, and I will talk to Dad later."

"Nonsense, you can tell him. Now," Zeus commanded.

"Styx," Selene mumbled. Selene took a deep breath and looked her dead straight in the eyes, "Congratulations, Daddy, you're going to be a grandfather."

It took a second for what Selene had said to sink in. His eyes widened, then they narrowed, and Poseidon started turning red with anger, "You mean to tell me that, that Emmett seduced you and got you pregnant?!"

"He did not seduce me, Dad, I went willingly to his bed."

"WHAT?!"

"Maybe I shouldn't have said that," Selene said to herself.

"Oh, you think?" Percy asked sarcastically.

"Shut up."

By this point, Poseidon was shaking with rage. He couldn't believe that Emmett dared to have sex with his daughter and get her pregnant. Selene walked up to her father, "Daddy, you need to calm down, okay? Emmett didn't do anything wrong, and nothing happened that I didn't want to happen. He's my imprint, Dad, and I'm his mate, it was inevitable that this would happen."

Poseidon closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down, "Alright, I'm calm. I'm calm. I promise I will not smite him, no matter how much I want to."

"Thank you, Daddy, after all, he is the father of your grandchild."

"Does he know yet?"

"No, I just found out an hour ago. I thought it best to tell you first,"

"Good, I'm glad you did."

At that point, Zeus decided to make an appearance, "So, you are going to be a grandfather, Brother, I would congratulate you, but there is a slight problem with Selene being pregnant by a monster."

"And what would that be, Uncle."

"The fact that we do not know if this child will be more vampire than human. I'm sorry, Selene, but you cannot have it."
