A.N: Sorry this chapter took so long guys, life can get in the way. And I know future chapters will be slowly updated but I'll try to update as fast as I can. I'm not giving up with this story because for years I wanted to write my own fan-fiction.

I hope you guys stay with me throughout the rest of this journey with me and I'm sorry for these slow updates. Thank you:)

As the light receded they noticed a woman standing in its place. Her curly chocolate brown hair was up in a ponytail as wisps of her hair framed her heart shaped face elegantly. Her round almond light blue eyes was filled with kindness and laughter that twinkled like that of the ocean when the sun reflected off its surface and her porcelain skin glittered like that of the most beautiful of pearls. She had rested a protective hand on her protruding belly that was covered in a sea-green nightgown that flowed around her legs lightly, its waves caressing her in an embrace.

She looked around the throne room in shock, her eyes meeting everyone with curiosity and protectiveness until it landed on Poseidon's. Her eyes filled with a great sense of love as she took a stepped towards him, eyes glittering with unshed tears as her smile stretched across her face to reveal her pearly white teeth. Her face glowed with happiness and love as she looked at the intrigued face of the Lord of the seas who had slightly gotten off his throne and looked at her as if she was the most beautiful woman. He didn't know why but he felt a sudden surge of protectiveness towards this woman

Her heart stopped before beginning again with a sudden enthusiasm as Poseidon looked at her the way he did—the way he always did. She walked forward until she was in front of him and breathed out his name as she wasn't sure if this was true or just one of her many dreams, "Is...is this real? Are you truly here?"

She placed her small delicate hand on his tan face, caressing his cheeks with her thumb ever so slightly. She sobbed realizing that he was truly real and that she wasn't dreaming at all, she caressed his parted lips with her thumb before throwing her arms around his strong shoulders.

Poseidon had never felt so warm until he was wrapped around this woman's arms. He was confused as to who she was but his heart started beating so fast he was afraid it was going to burst out of his chest in joy, his heart strings tugged as he slowly hugged her back. The smell of something sweet enveloped him, the aroma so calming he felt at home and he wanted more of it. He buried his face into her hair and the slightest smell of the sea mixed with that sweet smell made it the most addicting smell to him.

Those in the throne room and was uncomfortable to say the least except for Aphrodite who cried with the amount of love the two radiated. The demigods from each timeline had never seen a God so...affectionate and it was weird. The Olympians were also quite shocked at the new guest but were dumbfounded as she seemed to know Poseidon very well.

Many of the Gods had found the woman to be beautiful and they too watched her every move as if she was the most precious thing they had ever seen.

Hera had watched her husband taking an interest in the woman instantly, she glared to keep her away from her scoundrel of a husband only be shocked to see the look of love she showed Poseidon.

Theseus was flabbergasted. To see his father embracing this woman...yes he agreed she was beautiful but still...

The future Greek demigods excluding Jason, Piper and Leo knew who this woman was. She was younger and the most notable difference was that she was pregnant.

Another flash enveloped the room to leave a scroll that floated in the middle of the room, Athena took action and quickly grabbed the scroll.

Dear everyone,

As you can see we brought a new guest to read with you. This is Sally Jackson, the mother of the young hero you are reading. Sally dear don't fret but you are in the past to read about your baby boy and to become a better family. Everyone here are from different timelines, the Olympians are from tha ancient times along with Theseus, Orion, Heracles, and Perseus. Please catch Sally up.

Happy reading everyone!

The Fates

Sally stepped away slightly from Poseidon and looked at him with such sadness that Poseidon's heart ached, "If we're in the ancient times then you—don't know me."

"No I don't, I am so sorry. But from the things we read about our son...he's a good boy Sally. He's going to be a great hero."

Sally chocked out a sob as she laid a hand on her stomach and looked up at the man she loves with a watery smile. She let out an audible gasp before grabbing Poseidon's hand to gently lay it on her belly.

He was confused at first but a look of wonder took over his face as a felt something kick from within. He looked up at the beautiful woman with a beaming smile and eyes shining with so much love, looking happier than any of the Olympians had ever seen him.

Hestia couldn't help but smile at the beautiful sight of the little family, she stood up to get everyone's attention, "Why don't we take a break from the books and have some lunch, hmm?"

Charles took that as his cue to run towards Sally, "Gwanma!"

Sally looked at the little boy who had suddenly attached himself on to her leg in shock, "Grandma? What's going on?"

Annabeth ran towards the two and tried to unlatche Charles from Sally's leg while the rest of the Jackson siblings ran after her, "Charles let go, you're going to hurt her."

"But mommy ish gwanma! Gwanma ish da best! But mommy, why ish her tummy so big?"

"Yes I know it's grandma but you're going to hurt her if you don't let go. You don't want to hurt her now do you?"

Charles looked up at Sally before looking back at his mother shaking his head before letting go of Sally's leg.

"Can someone please tell me what's going on?"

Annabeth cringed, "You see not only are we from different timelines but our descendants are here with us. This is Charles, Damson, Luke and Zoë—you're grandchildren."

Sally suddenly felt nauseous as she swayed slightly, she was held up by Poseidon who looked at her in worry, "It's ok Poseidon, I'm ok. It's just not everyday that I get to meet my grandchildren from the future." She then looked back at Annabeth who was uncertain how to approach her, "He called you mom and I'm his grandmother, that means you're my future daughter in-law then."

She lifted Annabeths chin so she was looking at her and brought her in for a hug, "You are quite beautiful sweetie and you seem to be extremely smart. Let me guess, daughter of Athena? My son chose well." Annabeths emotions were on overdrive so all she could do was burst into tears as she hugged Sally with new found strength.

Sally didn't know why this young woman was crying but as soon as she did a big group of other children rushed towards the two to join in the hug fest.

The future Greek demigods were overwhelmed at seeing Sally and couldn't help but cry as they rushed towards her. She was younger than the Sally they knew but she was still aunt Sally to them.

Thalia shed silent tears, "Aunt Sally we've missed you!" Thalia's statement was repeated by the others as they made a giant group hug, Sally and Annabeth in the middle and being cautious of Sally's protruding belly that had a little Percy growing inside.

Jason could only look on at the group in shock. This was Percy Jackson's mother, a younger version apparently because she was pregnant with Percy. He didn't know why his new friends along with his sister was very attached to her, they seemed to know the older Sally very well. Well enough to call her aunt Sally.

The past Greek demigods looked on at their future selves. They noticed how close they seemed to be, it was—a family. They wanted that, they wanted to have a family, they were and always felt alone.

The Olympians couldn't fathom why the demigods were so attached towards this mortal woman. Of course she was beautiful and seemed kind but they had called her aunt Sally. They seemed to know her very well, well future Sally that is but they seemed to not care in the slightest. Who was this mortal woman to have such a relationship with so many demigods? Demigods who had different godly parents that is.

Sally was uncomfortable but the amount of love shown by these demigods warmed her heart, "Well why don't we do as Hestia says and have lunch."

Travis and Connor looked at each other and then back at Sall as their eyes sparkled with mischief, "Can you make your blue cookies? Please! Oh and your enchiladas! Grover would like that."

At the mention of enchiladas Grover's eyes glazed over as he nodded enthusiastically.

"Blue cookies? Why would cookies be blue?"

The demigods has forgotten she was a younger Sally and not the Sally from their timeline which saddened them greatly.

"You always make it in the future. It's ok aunt Sally we'll go to the kitchen and help." That was another thing the demigods of this timeline liked to do, they loved helping Sally cook. It was always a fun affair and they quite enjoyed it.

Nico grabbed her hand in anticipation and dragged her out of the throne room and into a different room, "Come on aunt Sally let's go start cooking," he then looked back towards the others who still looked dumbfounded, "Aunt Hestia, come join us!"

Hestia felt a sudden warmth at the show of familial love, this was it, it's working. She laughed in joy and rushed towards the group towards the kitchen but paused to beckon her sisters who joined her willingly with their own warm smiles.

The rest walked after them as they talked amongst themselves, they entered an Olympian sized dining room that contained one giant dining table in the middle with mid-sized tables surrounding it.

A giant chandelier hung in the middle of the ceiling, diamonds draped down elegantly as it shimmered brightly. The room was decorated in white and gold as different scenes of the Gods history was sculpted onto the walls. One side of the room had no wall as it opened up into a garden that had every imaginable flower you could think of. There was giant fountain that had a statue of Poseidon etched into it and hippocampus sprouted water out of its mouth. Different statues of different Olympians spread throughout the garden as if protecting the garden. Beyond the garden they could see the streets of Olympus bustling with activity as minor Gods and Goddesses mingled with nature spirits and satyrs. The Muses were up on stage in a courtyard, singing out into the crowd that surrounded them.

The demigods were speechless as they spread out to explore as the Olympians looked at their children with warmth and amusement. They spread throughout the room to pick a mid-sized table of their own or with their significant other or in some cases picked a table with another Olympian they got along with.

Annie dragged Castellan with enthusiasm as she talked his ear off about the architecture of the room, looking at the depictions on the wall with interest.

An hour went by and everyone had already came back into the dining room to sit amongst themselves, wanting to sit with their godly parents but were afraid to.

Loud laughter filled the room as the future Greek demigods and the three elder sisters along with a glowing Sally came into the dining room, plates of food in their arms as the set it onto the giant dining table in the middle of the room.

Poseidon rushed towards Sally to take the plate of...blue cookies? Whatever the case he worried that she may strain herself. After setting the cookies down he grabbed Sally's hand and kept a warm hand in the middle of her back protectively.

Sally looked at Poseidon adoringly before she looked around at everyone and saw that they were separated from each other. The Fates said they were brought here to be a better family but this was not the scene of a family, these were strangers to one another. She walked forward and laid her left hand on her hip, putting her weight on her left leg as she looked at each one disappointingly. This caught the attention of some and those who didn't were shushed by those who did, "And what do think you guys are doing?"

Those who didn't know the force that was Sally looked at her uncertainty, the Olympians especially. No mortal had ever talked to them with such scrutiny as if being scolded like mere children. Those who knew Sally looked at the spectacle with amusement, trying to hide their laughter at their faces.

Poseidon rushed towards her in a panic and stepped slightly in front of her, his family had very short tempers, practically non-existent. He worried for her safety.

Zeus composed himself, he would not let this mortal woman—no mater how beautiful she was—get the best of him, "What are you talking about, we are sitting so we can eat."

If at all possible Sally looked more disappointed, making many looking down in shame. Sally shook her head in a scolding manner, "If I remembered correctly we were all brought here to be a family. You may be almighty Gods and could probably kill someone with a snap of your fingers or turn someone into horrible hideous monsters but those children are your kids, your daughter or son," She then rounded on to the demigods, "and you kids, shame on you. Yes I understand that you feel neglected and feel as if they don't care about you but they are your parents. At the end of the day family comes first, do they not? Now come, there's a big table right here waiting for all of to sit. It is high time that you sit together as one."

Everyone looked at her in silence, not knowing how to react. The way she looked at them, the way she talked to them made them feel shame. Her eyes held such ferocity and disappointment, they didn't know how to react. Even her protruding belly could not downplay her ferocity.

She raised an eyebrow when no one made a move which then caused a chain reaction as everyone rushed to find seats at the big dining table where the future Greek demigods and descendants had already found a seat. Godly parents sitting next to their children and grandchildren, Poseidon pulled out a chair and helped ease Sally into a seat next to Annabeth before sitting next to her.

It was uncomfortable to say the least, the Olympians had never done this before, being a family and eating together like this that is. The ancient and past demigods along with the Romans and Jason, Piper and Leo didn't know how to act. They were not diving head first into this and acting casual among the Olympians unlike the future Greek demigods and descendants who started eating and bantering with one another.

Sky sat next to Zeus with Hera on her right which unnerved many of the future Greek demigods as they certainly didn't like her for the pain she had caused them for taking Percy away. But there she was between two Olympians eating happily and calling them grandma and grandpa.

When Skylar had first called Hera grandma she didn't know how to react, she was of course bewildered as no one had ever called her grandma before. She detested demigods of her husband, the betrayal hurt every time and she was always paranoid that any woman her husband met would be the next one to accompany her husband that night. She hated that feeling that she wasn't good enough. But this little girl—calling her grandma. She had felt a sudden warmth spread throughout her very being, she felt that there was purpose, that everything would be alright. And then Jasper—who had sat on the other side of her—called her grandmother too and she couldn't help but beam as a fire burned in her that filled her with life, she looked down as she hastily wiped the happy tears that fell delicately down her cheeks.

Aphrodite noticed and she could understand why Hera was crying, she was in the same place after all. She was crying herself as Jasper talked to her and Piper adamantly and suddenly fretting over her when they noticed the tears. All she could do was smile at her grandson and future daughter with warmth. Her feelings were on overdrive—another reason for the burst of tears—there was such a strong sense of love of both romantic love and family love. It made her energized and deeply in the feels.

They eventually relaxed and had conversations of their own and at one point the Olympians had enough courage to talk with their children. They found that they quite enjoyed it.

"Sally this is amazing! What did you say this was?"

"Yes this is simply divine!"

Sally looked at Hermes and Apollo in shock before shaking her head and smiled shyly, "Thank you my Lords. It's enchiladas, the kids begged for me to make it."

"How would you like to come to my place sometime and make me something?" Ares winked at her as he smirked wickedly.Sally looked at the God of war in shock as her face burned.

Poseidon put a protective arm around her as he glared at Ares, eyes swirling like a hurricane ready to drown him, "Leave her alone Ares or you'll have me to answer to!"

Sally shook her head before turning her head to Annabeth, "Would you mind telling me about my son? What does he look like? What's his favorite think to do? What about his favorite food?"

Poseidon smiled warmly at the woman as she asked question after question, he had only met her but what he knew of her was that she was warm and kind and overall a queen among women.

Annabeths eyes glazed over as she looked out towards the garden, she reached into her pocket to take the photograph out only to clutch it to her chest. Tears threatened to spill but she smiled warmly as if she was remembering something close to her heart. Everyone paused to look over at Annabeth, many were worried of her state of mind. She was unstable. But they listened to what she had to say, intrigued by the hero they were all reading.

Annabeths breath caught in her throat as she breathed out his name, "Percy...he's amazing. He's kind and he can make anyone laugh, he brings us all together. He once told me that he had always wanted a big family because as a kid all he had was you, he loves you so much Sally. When he came to Camp he made us closer and so much more of a family rather that a bunch of strangers. He hates bullies, he would stick up for anyone even if that meant being bullied himself. He never cared, as long as no one was hurt. He loves swimming, he's actually in his schools swim team—I still think that's cheating—he doesn't use his powers when swimming for his swim team, but he's so fast he's like a human fish! But most of all being in water calms him greatly. He loves your blue chocolate chip cookies and just about anything that's blue, it's a little quirk of him that we all love—that I love. But overall he's loyal, his loyalty is his fatal flaw. He would do anything to save those dear to him or anyone for that matter. From the first time I met him he had always stayed by my side, even when everyone left or when I screamed at him, told him horrible things, he would stay by my side. That's another thing you should know about him, he's extremely stubborn,"

Everyone listened with rapt attention. They wanted to know more about Percy, someone who had so many people care for him this deeply. From the things they have heard so far they grew more to like him and wanted to meet him themselves.

Sally listened and watched Annabeth as she went into detail of her baby boy, she could see how much love she had for her son. She was happy that Annabeth loved him and cared for him so much.

"I actually... have a picture of him, would you like to see?"

Sally looked at her, eyes sparkling with interest, "Oh I would love to!"

"Wait what's a picture?" Apollo leaned towards the daughter of Annabeth only to be answered by her younger version, Annie.

"A photo is short for photograph which is a picture made using a camera, in which an image is focused onto a film or other light sensitive material and then made visible and permanent by chemical treatment or stored digitally."

Apollo looked at Annie with a confused look, "What?"

Athena had followed along with Annie's explanation and sighed at the sheer stupidity Apollo showed, "Basically it's a moment that is captured and made visible and portable."

Annabeth was hesitant at giving anyone the only piece of him she had in this timeline, a reminder of what he looks like and that he was not a dream her mind conjures up—besides her future children that is—but slowly handed the photograph she clutched to her heart over to Sally who took it gingerly.

The photograph captured two people who were very much in love. They were in what Sally assumed to be Central Park during winter as snow swirled around them and their surrounding area, giving the picture a timeless and pure scene. The girl was definitely Annabeth, she wore a pomp and power purple parka with a warm fuzzy cream-yellow scarf wrapped snugly around her neck. Her arms were crossed over her chest defiantly with her hands in dark byzantium purple. Her hair was tied up in a low ponytail with an off white beanie that covered her ears, some strands of her honey-blond hair poking out. Her nose and cheeks were a rosy pink that contrasted with her lightly tanned skin, she was smiling warmly as she was looking up at the man with love.

The man had his arms wrapped around Annabeths waist from behind, hands in cerulean blue gloves. He wore a glaucous blue parka that had a warm indigo blue material inside which can be seen from the collar of the parka that stuck out. His wild raven black hair stuck out from his fuzzy white beanie. He looked down at Annabeth with so much love, with eyes that were a piercing sea-green that swirled like a hurricane of warmth towards the woman he had set his eyes on as if she was the one thing that kept him grounded.

Sally smiled down at the picture as she chocked out a sob as tears of pure happiness rand down her rosy cheeks. She laid her head on Poseidon's shoulder and grabbed his hand as he too looked at the picture of his future son with such joy.

"He looks so much like you." Sally caressed their sons face on the photograph, her voice was breathy and filled with wonder.

Poseidon definitely noticed that. Percy was so much like him it felt like he was looking back into the past of himself. None of his children has looked like himself, of course they had some traits of his like his hair or his eyes or even his nose but never did they look like a mirror image of himself. Like Theseus for instance, he had the same unruly raven black hair but that was the only trait of his that Theseus had, Orion on the other hand didn't even look like him. It was unnerving but he felt a sense of pride that Percy looked like him. He placed a hand on Sally's stomach to rub it gently as he beamed down at the amazing woman and then back at the picture of his son and Athena's daughter.

Zeus cleared his throat, "Well Barnacle Beard, are you gonna pass the photo around?"

Poseidon looked up at Zeus and noticed the intrigued faces of those sat at the table. He passed it to Theseus who had sat next to him.

By the time the photo came back to Annabeth, everyone had their opinions of Percy. Many felt calm from just looking at a picture of him but they also noticed an underlying sense of power when they looked at his eyes.

Piper, Jason, and Leo looked perplexed. They had never seen Annabeth so happy than in that picture, she didn't have the dark circles she has now. Her hair was full and seemed to glow with life in contrast with the white blizzard of snow. Her eyes sparkled unlike the look she has now that was dull and almost lifeless. And then their eyes drifted towards the man she was looking at, the reason why she looked so full of life.

Jason was speechless when he looked at him. And no it was not because of the reasons for the speechlessness of the women in the room. No it was because when he saw him he thought he was looking at Lord Poseidon, he looked so much like a God, that aura of power around the man was so prominent he could see it faintly in the photo. And those eyes, those eyes that held power.

Annie had held the photo longer than anyone. In the photo she looked so happy as if nothing else mattered except that very moment and the reason of her happiness. The man who looked at her with so much love.

Castellan watched Annie as she looked at the picture, her face had looked at it with so much awe as she caressed the picture but seemed to not realize she was actually doing it. He had glanced at the picture and was happy to see how happy his little Annie looked in the picture but felt disappointed that he wasn't the reason why.

Unlike everyone else, Heracles still didn't understand why they were reading about him, the boy didn't look like anything special unlike himself. The boy was a son of Poseidon who was not the king of Olympus, Heracles doubted he was powerful unlike him who was the son of the all mighty Zeus. Heracles sneered at everyone around him.

Orion looked off into space, eyes glazed over and seemed to be listening to something no one could hear. No one seemed to notice though.

"He really does look like you brother, it's a little unnerving." Demeter along with her fellow Olympians were shocked at the uncanny resemblance between the demigod in the photo and Poseidon. Her statement nodded their agreement.

Poseidon could only beam with pride as he looked at them. The Olympians had never seen such a look on his face.

The next hour was filled with laughter and new relationships were made. The Romans had relaxed a bit and Reyna talked with a few of the Greeks while Octavian scowled down at his plate as he ate. Clarisse had dragged Frank into a conversation with her future son, Aleksanteri, and her father about weapons. Hazel had slowly gotten comfortable talking with her newfound half brother but it had taken a little longer before she had relaxed enough to talk her father.

Although Castellan talked with the other demigods from his time he didn't once talk with Hermes, nor did he look at him. He tried talking with the future Greek demigods but they had glared at him and either ignored him or gave him one word answers.

As everyone finished the future Greek demigods walked around to pick up the empty plates to take to the kitchen where they gathered to wash them with Piper, Jason, and Leo hesitantly followed when they were dragged by the three Hermes brothers.

Their past selves looked at the closed kitchen door where they herd laughter and movements as they cleaned up. They were not close like their future selves were and they hoped it could happen soon for themselves, they wanted to feel that family love their future selves seemed to have.

Eventually everyone walked back to settle down in the throne room, Frank and Hazel had seemed to have integrated themselves among the future Greek demigods which they then received a glare from Octavian.

Athena picked up the book from her throne before sitting down, "Who wants to read next?"

Hermes shrugged before walking over to Athena to take the book.
