10 YEARS LATER

ANNABETH XX

"Mummy, can you tell us the story of how we got our names again?" Luke, my six year old child, asked me.

Percy smiled, he knew I've told this story a billion times before and was starting to get sick of it. My other children, Zoë and Charles all smiled and nodded, eager to hear the story.

"Of course, sweetie," I replied.

"Yay!" Luke, Zoë and Charles cried.

"So, it all started when your Daddy and I hated one another," I started.

"That's an understatement," Percy laughed.

"Actually, it started when I was seven," I recalled. "Your grandpa got married to my step-mum and I hated her."

"Why did you hate her?" Little seven year old, Zoë asked quietly.

"Did I ever tell you that spiders hate children of Athena?" I asked.

Zoë nodded.

"Well, spiders hated me so much that they'd bite me and cover me in cobwebs when I was asleep. But, the bites would wear off before breakfast and she thought the

cobwebs were fake," I explained.

"And she hated her step-mum so much that she ran away," Percy said.

"Yes, and then I found Luke and Thalia... you all remember Thalia, don't you?" I asked and they all nodded.

"And she's told you about the time that Thalia sacrificed herself to save Camp Half Blood, right?" Percy asked.

They all nodded again.

"And now comes the part when we hated each other," Percy said.

"Yes, I hated Daddy and I sort of had a crush on Luke," I said.

"A very obvious crush," Percy added and laughed.

"Yes," I laughed too. "But Luke turned out to be evil, he tried to kill Daddy and he hated his own Daddy, Hermes."

My little Luke pretended to kill Percy, which I'm sure Luke Castellan would have wanted to do to his father. Percy pretended to play dead while Luke jumped on him, making

sure whether Percy was alive or not. Charles joined Luke while Zoe hugged onto me.

"Luke tried to let Kronos take over the world, but it didn't work. He realised his mistake in the end and he killed himself so that Kronos couldn't rise again," I explained. "And

that was how Luke was named; after a hero who saved the world.

"I still think we should of named him after me. I'm a hero that saved the world. Twice," Percy half scoffed but then gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"You saved the world twice?" Zoë asked.

"Yep, once from Kronos and the other time from Gaia," Percy boasted.

It's funny that when I first met him; I hated him and now we're married and have three gorgeous kids.

"Now my turn!" Charles shrieked.

"But, I've never actually heard who I'm named after," Zoë said.

"Okay, Zoë first and then Charles," I said.

"Zoë, you were named after Zoë Nightshade and she was a very brave hunter of Artemis. Without her Kronos would've taken over the world and you wouldn't have existed," I

explained.

"How did Zoë die?" Zoë asked.

"Zoë died from the venom of a dragon. She didn't tell us about it until she was about to die. She was an extremely brave person, Zoë, just like you," I said.

Zoë blushed and hugged me.

"My turn now!" Charles shrieked again.

PERCY XXI

"Shall I explain this one?" I asked.

"Go for it," she replied.

Damn, she was beautiful. Even though she had aged a little and given birth to three kids. I couldn't believe all the stuff that we had been through together, the beginning,

dancing at Olympus, kissing in the lake, sleeping next to her in the stables, and I couldn't forget tartarus. The memories of Annabeth brought back other memories, like

Grover. We were still good friends but he was now married to Juniper and off doing peace talks for satyrs about how he met Pan and what Pan would've wanted.

"You, Charles, were named after Charles Beckendorf, he was a very brave fighter. He helped us destroy Kronos by setting bombs all over a ship, he then got caught and was

killed by Kronos," I explained.

"Is that it?" Luke asked.

"But that's so cool! He blew up a ship!" Charles exclaimed.

"I helped too," I added.

"Hey, we better get to Frank and Hazel's house soon. They'll be expecting us," Annabeth told me and give me a kiss.

"I forgot about that, I was hoping to go swimming later on," I replied.

"Come on, we better go. We don't want to be late," Annabeth said.

"Hey kids, do you wanna see Uncle Tyson? And Aunt Ella?" I asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah!" Charles and Luke shrieked.

"What about you, Zoë?" Annabeth asked.

"Okay," she replied quietly.

"Okay, everyone get in the pegasus carriage and we'll get going," Annabeth instructed.

"I'll race you there!" Zoë exclaimed, knowing that being the oldest; she was the fastest.

"Three, two, one... go!" Luke shouted and bolted off.

"I'll saddle up the Pegasus." I said.

"And I'll bring the carriage out," Annabeth agreed.

I ran off and quickly saddled up BlackJack's daughter. Black Jack had died a few years back just after his partner had given birth and died during labour. We ended up taking

care of the young Pegasus as she was too young to take care of herself. We decided to name her Nelena, or Nelly for short.

"Come on Nelly," I said. "We gotta get to Hazel and Frank's house."

emOkay, she replied./em

She walked out of the stable and over to the carriage where Annabeth and the kids were waiting. I easily hooked the harness that Nelly was wearing to the carriage and I

took the driver's seat.

"Alright Nelly, go!" I exclaimed and she took off to Hazel and Frank's house, it was surprising on how big New Rome had gotten.

LEO XXII

"Babe, you ready for the reunion thing?" I called out to Calypso.

"Have you ever wondered whether I'm still immortal or not?" Calypso asked.

"I have, but I don't think it's possible," I told her.

"But, what if it is?" she asked.

"Have you aged since you left Ogygia?" I said.

"Well, no I haven't–"

"And ageing is a sign of mortality isn't it?" I asked.

"I guess," she replied sadly.

"Hey, babe," I comforted her and kissed her. "It's okay, you're mortal. The spell was broken because I found you again. Now, you look gorgeous but are you ready?"

"Have you ever thought about having children?" she changed the subject again.

"Yes, of course. I just wasn't sure whether we were ready or not," I admitted. "But, I'd love to have a mini Leo running around... or a mini Calypso."

"I think I do want children," Calypso admitted. "I mean, we've been married three years. I think it's about time."

"Well, then tonight, you and me baby!" I winked.

She could help but smile and she then kissed me.

"So, are you ready?" I asked.

"I think I'm kind of nervous," she said.

"Why?" I asked her.

"Because I barely know your friends. And I feel like they hate me," she said quietly.

"Hey, just stick with me, okay?" I told her. "I'm not going to let you go."

"Okay, I think I'm ready," she said a little more confidently.

"You are?" I asked.

She nodded.

"Well, lets board Festus and go," I said walking out of our house.

Thanks to many upgrades over the years, Festus was now a superdragon. He had touch screen controls and an amazing engine that would almost make you travel as fast as

Arion.

NICO XXIII

I waited downstairs for Bianca (my four year old daughter, named after my sister) and Will to get ready. I walked upstairs to see Will.

"Bianca! It's almost time to go to the reunion!" I called out to her. I walked over to Will, "Will, are you ready too?"

I gave a kiss on the cheek and waited for an answer. Will stood next to me; topless in our bedroom, obviously looking for a nice shirt to wear.

"Which shirt should I wear?" he asked.

"A dress shirt?" I suggested; I was ready to go an hour ago.

"Yes, but which dress shirt?" he asked.

"You have three dress shirts, it's not that hard," I said.

"Easy for you to say, not everyone gets the privilege of looking as good as you do," he smiled.

"And not everyone gets the privilege of being your husband," I smiled back.

He gave me a light peck on the lips.

"Just wear this light blue one, it looks good," I said.

"Does it look like I'm trying to hard?" He asked.

"No, besides who cares if it does? Just put on your sports coat and lets get going, we're going to be late at this rate," I said.

"Alright, alright. I'm coming," he said.

I went downstairs to help Bianca, who we adopted from an orphanage.

"Hey sweetie, were you able to get your shoes on?" I asked.

"Yes, Papa," she said. "Where's Daddy?"

"He's upstairs figuring out what to wear," I replied.

"Again?" she asked.

"Again," I confirmed.

"Alright I'm ready, are we ready to fly?" he asked. "'Cause, I ordered two pegasus taxis to come by," I said.

Unlike the others we lived in an apartment in the city, so we had to take a pegasus to get there.

"What, no shadow traveling?" I said and Will shot me a look.

Then a whinny came from outside.

"That would be the pegasi," I said.

Will walked over to the door and two pegasi trotted in. Must have been hard for them to get through the lobby.

"Okay, hop into my arms, Bianca," I said and opened my arms for her.

"No I wanna sit with Daddy," she said.

I opened the door to the balcony and the pegasi trotted through. Will placed Bianca on the pegasus first and he then got on afterward. I got on the other pegasus.

"Okay, are we ready?" I asked.

Will and Bianca nodded.

"Okay, lets go!" I exclaimed and the pegasi jumped off the balcony and flew over the city of San Francisco.

REYNA XXIV

"Should we go today?" I asked Dylan who was still in bed.

"Go where again?" he asked.

"To the reunion," I replied.

"Oh yeah that," he said. "That depends, how good are you feeling today?"

I knew he meant about the baby, well, babies, and how I was feeling about it. I hadn't had any morning sickness today, so that was good. I was having twins, we wanted the

gender to be a surprise so we hadn't really come up with names yet.

"Do you want me to get you anything?" he asked.

I'm so glad that I married such a considerate guy.

"It's okay, and so am I," I said. "I think we should go."

I'm sure seeing everyone will bring back many joyful memories that I hold onto. I'm so glad that everyone's life turned out alright. Even now, I still remember my quest with

Nico and Gleeson Hedge, and now they both have wonderful families. Nico has a husband and a gorgeous daughter and Gleeson has a wife and many little goats. I sat up on

the bed.

"What do you think of the name, Ryan?" I asked.

"For the baby?" He asked and sat up too.

I nodded.

"It's a nice name I guess, but what if it's a girl?" he asked.

"Hylla?" I suggested.

"Whatever you want, really," he replied. "Are we going?"

"Yes, get ready," I replied.

Dylan was ready within five minutes; dressed in a nice shirt and sportscoat. I, however, took a little longer. I pulled on some nice comfy but still stylish pants and my

favourite maternity shirt. Lately, I really couldn't be bothered with makeup, although I looked like a zombie. I walked to the front door where Dylan was waiting for me.

"You look amazing," he said and kissed my cheek. "I'll get the pegasus."

He ran to the stables and dragged out a pegasus behind him. Since we lived near where everyone kept their pegasus we could use whichever one we wanted. Dylan helped

me up first and then got on himself.

"Okay, you on?" I asked.

"Yes," he replied.

"Alright, off we go!" I said and kicked the pegasus to make it fly.

PIPER XXV

Jason placed his hand on my very pregnant belly, even bigger than Reyna's belly. The little baby inside of my moved around a little and then kicked.

"I think I felt a kick," he said.

"Yes, that was definitely a kick," I replied.

"Mummy, what are we doing today?" Thalia (my three year old daughter) asked.

She was named after Jason's sister, I gave birth to her just after the original Thalia died. It was a devastating time for Jason, as she had died an agonizing death which he

had tried to prevent. Thalia has asked him to help her destroy a minotaur that was threatening some new found demigods that were across the country at that time. He flew

by pegasus to help save them, but Thalia and the new demigods had already been stabbed by the minotaur once he reached there. He tried as best as he could to save them

but he couldn't. So, we named our girl after Thalia.

"We are off to a reunion. Do you remember Bianca?" Jason asked.

Thalia nodded.

"Well, we're gonna see her today," I told her.

"Yay!" she exclaimed. "I'll go put my shoes on!"

"Are you ready?" I asked; though he was still in his pyjamas.

"It's not like you're ready either," he said.

"True," I replied.

"Come on then," he said and took my hand. "Lets go upstairs and get changed."

I followed him upstairs and into our bedroom. He pulled off his shirt and found a dress shirt to wear. Even after all this time, damn, his abs were nice. I walked into my

wardrobe and found a dressy shirt and pants to wear. I put on some ballet flats and walked into the bathroom to do my hair. I quickly pinned it up in a bun and walked back

out to the bedroom. Jason was putting his shoes on and ready to go.

Damn, Piper was still a knockout. So looked amazing in her outfit today. I finished off putting on my shoes and walked over to her. I kissed her and took her hand.

"Are we ready to go?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I think so," she said. "Should I accessorize?"

"No you look perfect," I said.

"Thanks," she replied.

"Shall we start walking over?" I asked.

"What should we name the baby?" she asked.

Honestly I hadn't even thought about that yet.

"I don't know, should we name it after someone?" I asked.

"No, I feel like everyone's naming their children after someone. And I get why we named Thalia, Thalia, but I don't want to name it after someone else," she explained.

Thalia then came running into the bedroom.

"Hey sweetie," I said.

"We were thinking of what to name the new baby," Piper said and put her hand on her belly.

"How about Sebastien?" Thalia suggested.

"Sebastien?" Piper asked.

"Yeah, after my favourite cartoon: Sebastien the Unicorn," she said proudly.

Piper and I both laughed at her, little minds are so adorable.

"I guess we'll think about this later," Piper said. "Are you ready for the party, Thalia?"

"Yes, Mummy," she replied. "Look I even put my shoes on!"

"Are we flying there?" I asked.

"Well, yes. I was hoping you could fly us," she said.

"Sure, but I might be a little rusty," I said. "Come on, lets go outside."

I grabbed Piper's hand and picked up Thalia and I carried her outside. Piper latched onto me.

"Are we ready?" I asked.

They both nodded.

"Okay lets go!" I exclaimed and shot up in the sky.

HAZEL XXVI

"They should be here any minute, children," I said. "You can have fun, but please behave."

"Who's coming over today, Mummy?" Marie (My five year old daughter, named after my mother) asked.

"Well, there should be Percy and Annabeth with their children, Leo and Calypso, Piper and Jason with their children, Nico and Will with their children, Rachel and Tyson and

Ella," I said. "Oh, Reyna and Dylan might pop over, too."

"Don't be too rough around the Jackson boys," Frank laughed, knowing that they took after their parents: competitive and rough.

I chuckled a little too.

Emily (My seven year old daughter, named after Frank's mother) shot us both look of: emYou know exactly how rough they are compared to us/em

"And that leads me to the next rule of no shapeshifting," I added. "Unless it's an emergency."

"Aww," Emily complained.

"Does the Jackson boys not leaving us alone count as an emergency?" Marie asked.

"No it doesn't, but if they persist to annoy you then come see us," I replied.

"We don't want dragons flying around the house, that is not going to happen again," Frank warned. "Correct?"

"Yes, Daddy," They chorused.

"We all remember what happened last time," I agreed.

"It ended with them shooting water everywhere and you two shapeshifting, Zoë crying in the corner, and then you two shapeshifted into the boys to trick them," Frank said.

"Although that was pretty smart, considering their mother is Annabeth."

"Frank!" I exclaimed, he really wasn't helping.

"Long story short, no fighting. Hang with Zoë, Thalia and Bianca and play dolls, and Little Pet Shop and stuff," Frank said.

"Oh, and no playing on or with Arion. He's sick right now and needs all the rest that he can get," I warned.

As soon as I was done speaking the doorbell rang.

"Behave," I wagged my finger at them.

Well at least if things go too wrong, then I can try to bend The Mist to make it look like nothing's wrong. They both rolled their eyes and followed me to the door.

FRANK XXVII

Hazel opened the door where everyone was waiting outside.

"Hello everyone, welcome, come in!" Hazel said excitedly.

"Hey! You're all here," I said.

Marie and Emily grabbed all the girls and strutted off to their room for privacy. Also, probably to hide from the Jackson boys.

"Frank!" Leo exclaimed.

"Hey Leo," I greeted. "How are you?"

"Not too bad, I see you've got the works. Two girls," he said.

"Yeah, and I guess you're still waiting for children," I replied.

"Yeah, well Calypso and I were the last out everyone here to get married though," he said. "But, we do want kids."

"I better greet more people," I said. "The food's on the balcony."

"Nice talking to you, man," Leo said.

I walked out to the balcony to greet everyone and welcome them here.

The rest of the day pretty much went like this. I learnt all about Percy and Annabeth's sons and daughter, all about Leo's life with Calypso and how happy there were

together, all about Nico's life with Will and how he doesn't regret anything he did in his life, all about Jason and Piper's life and what they wanted to name their next lot of

kids. Overall, it was an amazing day, and I wish we could do stuff like this more often. The problem is that nowadays we all have complicated lives with children and husbands

and wives. To be honest, I felt really sad once everybody left, I really did miss those guys. The party was super fun and thankfully nobody turned into dragons or used their

powers.

"Well, that was a fun day," I said to a very tired Hazel.

"You're right it was," she agreed.

"We should do this more often," I said.

"Yes, but not at our house next time," she said.

"It did leave quite a mess," I said. "Are the girls asleep?"

"Yes, they were very tired. They hopped into bed themselves!" she said.

"I have to admit I'm quite tired too," I admitted. "I think I'll go to bed right now."

"But it's only..." she started "9 PM, you're right we should get to bed."

I hopped into bed and about two minutes later Hazel joined me. I spooned her and I soon felt myself falling asleep.

The end. Sorry it was kind of crappy, but if you liked it, perhaps you might want to check out my other work. I work more on Wattpad now, and more so on my own ideas and not fanfictions.

(I work in the genres of: teen fiction, fantasy, mystery, and I plan to write in many more!)
