AN: Here you go guys you can thank: Harmonic Bunny for writing the winning 10 reasons why list: "1. Percy has done so much for Hades, like befriending Nico and Bianca and giving back his Helm.

2. Percy could go insane in there since he will never see Annabeth for a long time, and Poseidon might threaten Hades

3. Athena might get angry that Annabeth is so hurt. She prides herself on her.

4. Nico won't talk to Hades for a long time, since he holds grudges. It isn't a good feeling when you're ignored by someone you like.

5. Hades shouldn't get so worked up. It's completely unfair, and frankly, I think Athena as the goddess of justice should go to him and point out that his flaw is holding back what Percy wanted, and that he merely wanted to be with Annabeth, not that he thought the underworld was better than the living world.

6. His friends would grieve, thus making their godly parents/ Artemis feel horrible, with some exceptions (cough, Ares, Zeus, Artemis?, Hera, Dionysus, cough)

7. Greek legends have so few happy endings, naming Percy after a hero with a happy ending is because of that. It's pretty cruel for the Fates to do this to him.

8. Hades won't hold him there forever, Poseidon might come and control the five rivers...and wreak havoc...ahem.

9. Annabeth might try for rebirth, thus causing Percy to try and escape and try for it too. If he escapes that proves Hades' dungeon is horrible, and if he doesn't Percy will rot so much it'd be plain horrible.

10. Death is but the next great adventure (Dumbledore). I strongly believe in that, so I personally think that it's too cruel..."

Also I would like to award second place to the funniest 10 reasons why list ever written by: Thalicoforever3.14

"Aphrodite said so

Ares said so

I said so

Your mom said so

Zeus said so

They are awesome

They should play mythomagic

Bunnies!

Grammar flavored chicken nuggets

Mwahahahahaha"

Enjoy your bonus chapter!

Percy

The guards immediately brought him to Hades. Percy looked up at the god with anger. Hades simply asked one question, "Would you do it again?"

"What do you mean?" Percy asked him.

"I mean," Hades sighed at Percy's stupidity, "that even if you knew you would be trapped in my dungeon for all eternity would you still kill yourself just so you could see Annabeth again?" Percy looked up at him his eyes full of sadness.

"Yes." Hades nodded and gave his guards the orders.

"Call for my son, do as we discussed. Take him away." The guards stepped forward and lead Percy to the dungeon.

Percy looked up when he heard someone enter the cell. It was Nico; he stood in front of the "door" with his arms crossed.

"Hi," Percy said stupidly, "I…um…sorry?"

"Oh don't you even start with that." Nico said, "You think I'd let you get away without an explanation?"

"Um…I was hoping." Percy replied nervously, he'd seen what Nico could do to spirits.

"Haha," Nico smiled and rolled his eyes at him, "come on dead boy my father wants to talk to you." Nico escorted Percy back to Hades throne room. When they got there, someone immediately ran up and hugged Percy. It took him an awkward few moments to figure out it was Annabeth. She looked up at him and they kissed, they almost forgot that they weren't alone until Hades cleared his throat.

"Ahem, I believe we are not gathered here to watch you two, oh what's the word, make-out." The god told us as we broke apart. We looked up at him and he continued, "I have decided to let you two go."

"You mean back to Elysium?" Percy asked.

"No," the god said, "back to the land of the living."

"You mean…"Percy trailed off.

"Yes, you and Annabeth will be sent back to the mortal world. You shall keep your old memories and identities. Annabeth you shall age 22 years to "catch up" to Percy. You're friend and families have been told this and they await you on Olympus with a final surprise." Percy and Annabeth looked at each other and then back at Hades. "You are released." The god told them. They both felt a rush as their souls and body's combined as one. When the rush was over Annabeth was taller and her hair was longer, Percy was pretty much the same. Nico smiled and walked over to them, he put his arms around their shoulders and Hades waved his hand. The next thing he knew they were back on Olympus. All of their friends and several gods and goddesses were waiting for them.

"Annabeth," Thalia yelled as she threw her arms around her best friend, "I missed you so much. Don't you ever die on me again you understand."

"I'll try not to Thalia, I missed you too." Then Thalia turned to Percy and slugged him in the arm.

"That's for being a Kelp Head and killing yourself." She snapped then she pulled him into a hug, "That's for bringing Annabeth back." She finished. Hugs were passed around the group of friends. Percy kept staring at Thalia as if he was looking for something. "Why are you staring me?" She asked him suddenly.

"Shouldn't you be shorter?" Percy asked, "And like 15? I mean you look like whatever age you should be."

"I gave up my immortality and was honorably discharged from the hunt." Thalia explained.

"What! Why?" Annabeth gasped.

"I uh decided maybe not all boys are that bad." She smirked as Nico walked up next to her.

"Still calling me a boy eh?" He joked. Percy smiled at them while Annabeth's jaw dropped to the floor. Percy gently closed her mouth while chuckling softly.

"Yeah things change in 22 years Annabeth." Percy told her while she glared at him. Thalia was about to say something when the throne room doors were opened and eight people entered the throne room.

"Percy!" A woman shouted and Percy was immediately engulfed in a pair of arms.

"Mom? What are you doing on Olympus?" Percy asked as soon as he recovered from the shock.

"We let them in." Said another voice, Percy looked past his mother to see Athena and Poseidon standing in the doorway along with Paul Blofis, Annabeth's dad and stepmother, along with her two stepbrothers, Bobby and Matthew.

"Dad," Annabeth shouted as she ran into his arms, "I thought I'd never see you again." As Annabeth passed hugs around her family, Paul walked over and gave Percy a fatherish-guy-hug and Poseidon gave Percy a hug too. Percy glanced in Annabeth's direction and saw as Athena awkwardly held her arms out to Annabeth, without hesitation she gave her mom a hug. With a start Percy realized that just then was probably the first time Athena gave any of her kids a hug. I smiled as Annabeth reassured her family the she was okay. After Percy was done being swooned over by his mother, Thalia walked over to him.

"You left this in your sweatshirt pocket." She said as she pushed a small box into his hand.

SWITCHING TO 1ST PERSON PERCY'S POV!

I suddenly remembered why I had gone to Annabeth's shrine that specific day. It was the anniversary of the day we had met. I also remembered what I had planned to leave behind. I sighed, it's now or never I guess. I took a deep breath and walked over to Annabeth. She had just finished assuring her dad that she was fine so I walked right up to them.

"Do you mind if I borrow her for a bit?" I asked Mr. Chase.

"Not at all." He replied, and I lead Annabeth a few feet away. I could feel Athena glaring daggers at us, but I didn't care not even Kronos could stop me from doing what I was about to do. I took both of Annabeth's hands and looked her in the eyes.

"Annabeth, I love you," I started, "and I never want to lose you again. If you're ever in danger I want to be there for you right away…" I took a shaky breath and gazed into her face.

"Percy what are yo-" She started to ask but got cut off when I dropped to one knee in front of her and brought out the box. I opened it up to reveal a stunning diamond ring.

"Annabeth Chase, will you marry me?" I asked. Annabeth covered her mouth with her hand and the whole room was silent watching us waiting for her to answer. She moved her hand away and smiled.

"Yes." The whole room cheered as I got to be feet and slid the ring onto her finger. "Yes." She repeated. And with that we kissed. I heard and awe come up from somewhere off to our left and I assumed Piper was happy. I also heard a squeal of delight from the back of the room and knew immediately where Aphrodite was. As Annabeth and I pulled away from each other I heard Nico behind me.

"Get a room." I assume Thalia must have slapped him upside the head because and ow was heard along with some small bickering. Annabeth and I kissed one more time before joining the "party".

*One Month Later* *After the Wedding and Honeymoon*

I was unpacking my bags from our honeymoon in Greece when I heard a squeal of excitement from the bathroom.

"Annabeth," I ran over to the bathroom door and knocked gently, "are you alright?" Before I could do anything else the bathroom door flung open and Annabeth hugged me tightly. She was holding something in her hand. Was that a tampon? Annabeth pulled back and smiled at me wide. No that wasn't a tampon, that was a…oh brother.

"Positive?" I asked her. She could only nod. I smiled and kissed her. Annabeth was pregnant; I was going to be a dad.

AN: Yeah I think that's good. Well unless my magic eight ball says I should keep going. "Oh magic eight ball should I continue this chapter?" (Shake, Shake, Shake) *Read what is says* Yes. "Oh magic eight ball should I skip ahead 9 months?" (Shake, Shake, Shake) *Read what is says* NO. Well I guess I'll keep going. Gosh this is a long chapter.

*Two Months Later* *At Thalia and Nico's Wedding Reception (Yes Percy and Annabeth were the Matron (because she is married she is not called a maid) of Honor and the Best Man)*

"Hey Nico, Thalia come here we have to tell you something." I called the newlyweds over to where Annabeth and I were standing.

"What is it?" Thalia asked us looking concerned.

"Point blank?" Annabeth asked me.

"Point blank." I agreed. Nico and Thalia looked at each other with confusion and Annabeth told them the news. Point blank.

"I'm two months pregnant." A smile erupted from Thalia's face and she gave Annabeth the biggest hug ever. Nico patted me on the back.

"So who knows so far?" He asked me.

"Just us four." I replied.

"You haven't told you're families?" Thalia asked us in astonishment. Before either of us could answer Thalia started to walk over to the DJ.

"Whoa wait, what do you think you're doing?" Annabeth asked her.

"Well," Thalia smiled, "both of your families are here along with several gods. So might as well tell them now."

"No Thalia, wait, ugh." Annabeth protested as she was dragged to the DJ's station to get a microphone. "Percy, help me!" I laughed as Nico shoved me forward and I followed the girls to the DJ.

"Excuse me; can I have your attention please?" Thalia spoke into the microphone she was given while Annabeth and I stood awkwardly off to the side. "I have an announcement to make." Thalia continued, "Well actually I'll let Annabeth do the honors." Thalia held the mic out to Annabeth and I. Thalia got a glare from Annabeth who grabbed the mic out of Thalia's hand.

"This wasn't exactly the way we had planned on telling all of you but, Percy and I are having a baby." Everyone cheered and we got a lot of congratulations. My mom and Paul walked up to me and asked me when I planned on telling them. I played it safe and told them we were planning on making a celebration of it. My mom chuckled and went to go swoon over my impregnated wife. I glanced across the room and saw Athena staring at me arms crossed over her chest. I gulped as she walked over towards me.

"So," Her words were scary even though she spoke rather upbeat sounding, "how far along?"

"Two months." I choked out.

"Sex?" She inquired. I took me an embarrassing moment to realize she was asking the sex of the baby, not…you know…that.

"We're going to make it a surprise." I informed her. She nodded, congratulated me, and went to talk to Annabeth. I took a deep breath, glad that was over with.

"You would think she had a sword at your throat the way you acted just then." Said a voice behind me, I turned around to see Poseidon smiling warmly at me. He asked me pretty much the same questions as Athena did and walked away. I was about to go and talk to Tyson when Aphrodite walked up to me smiling. This was going to be a long night…

*7 months later* *Annabeth is nine months pregnant (Like my cousin's wife!)*

I was reading the paper when Annabeth groaned in the kitchen.

"Annabeth!" I shouted as I raced for the kitchen. She was leaning over the sink breathing deeply when I came in. "Oh my gods are you okay, is the baby coming?" I asked, alarmed. She took another breath and shook her head.

"I'm fine," She assured me, "they're just Braxton Hicks contractions." I sighed with relief, just Braxton Hicks contractions; I knew what those were Annabeth had been having those for the past month. Suddenly one of her hands gripped the sink so tight her knuckles turned white, while her other hand grabbed her pregnant belly.

"That's not a Braxton Hicks contraction." I said as I ran over to her, "Come on, we're going to the hospital."

"No Percy, I'm fi- AH!" She doubled over both hands on her stomach. I picked her up bridal style and ran to the car. I gently laid her in the passenger seat and ran over to the driver side.

We raced to the hospital about halfway there Annabeth stopped groaning and gasped.

"What is it? What's wrong?" I asked.

"My water just broke." She tried to say something else but got another contraction. I floored it the rest of the way to the hospital. When we got there the nurses immediately got us into a room and started prepping for delivery. They told us we had to wait until her contractions were closer together and until she was fully dilated. I stepped in the hallway for a brief moment to call our families and friends. Two minutes later Thalia came rushing into the room.

"Everyone else is in the lobby." She informed us.

"Just in time," The doctor informed Thalia, "It's time to push."

*15 painful minutes later*

"Come on Annabeth one more push come on!" I encouraged. I was holding on to her right hand and Thalia held her left. Annabeth gave another big push and screamed before collapsing back on the bed. There was an uneasy silence but then a cry filled the room. The doctor cut the umbilical cord and wrapped our baby up in a white blanket.

"It's a girl." She announced. Annabeth gave an exhausted smile as the doctor placed our baby in her arms. Annabeth smiled at our daughter while Thalia snapped a picture and then went to get the others. I leaned down and whispered a name in her ear she whispered something back and we agreed. Annabeth handed me our daughter just as all of our friends and family came into the room.

'Awe' filled the room and suddenly I was surrounded by my mom, Piper, Rachel, Hazel, and Annabeth's stepmom, Helen. Athena was a few feet away but was stifling a smile towards our daughter.

"May I present our daughter," I said to them, "Danni May Jackson." Another 'awe' filled the room at the announcement of Danni's name. "Now who wants to hold her?" The five women surrounding me immediately started to beg me to let them hold Danni, but I looked past them and nodded at Athena. "Do you want to hold her?" I asked her.

"No, its fine let the others hold her first I can wait." She protested but of course I didn't listen, I walked over to her and laid Danni in the goddesses arms. She looked a little uncomfortable at first but she slowly warmed up to her, smiling down at our daughter along with the others. I sat in a chair next to Annabeth's bed; Thalia went over to her husband as Annabeth's father walked over and sat next to the bed.

After all of the grandparents (Helen, Sally, Paul, Frederick, Poseidon, and Athena) and Annabeth's brothers got to hold Danni, she got passed around to everyone else (Piper, Jason, Thalia, Nico, Leo, Frank, Hazel, and Rachel). Rachel handed Danni to Annabeth when three more people entered the room, Juniper, Grover, and Tyson. After saying congratulations, they got to hold Danni as well.

*Two years later*

"Percy," Annabeth said as she came into the living room, "we've been summoned to Olympus." I stared at her.

"Daddy we get to see grandma and grandpa!" Danni informed me excitedly.

"Yeah," I told her before turning my attention back to Annabeth, "who exactly summoned us?"

"A-" She began but I abruptly cut her off.

"Oh gods not Aphrodite." I complained. Annabeth sighed at me.

"You should really learn not to interrupt Seaweed Brain." She scolded me. Danni giggled at us and answered my question for Annabeth.

"Grandma summoned us Daddy."

"Well we better get going then. Don't want to keep Athena waiting. Danni go grab a toy or two and we'll be on our way." Danni nodded excitedly.

"Okay Daddy." With that she skipped off to her room.

"Do you know what this is about?" I asked my wife.

"No idea whatsoever." She replied. Danni came running back with a stuffed teddy bear and a plastic dagger. (AN: YES that is a reference to Octavian!)

"She is exactly like you." I whispered to Annabeth.

"Not true, I had a bunny." She whispered back.

"Who are we taking Daddy?" Danni asked me.

"Who?" Annabeth asked slightly confused.

"Blackjack or Mrs. O'Leary?" Danni clarified.

"How about we take Rav Four?" I replied with a French-ish accent.

"Who's Rav Four?" Danni asked me. In response I wiggled my eyebrows. She turned to Annabeth, "Mommy, Daddy's being a Sea-slime Brain again." Ever since she could say two word sentences Danni had called me Sea-slime Brain instead of Seaweed Brain and refuses to change so now I'm stuck with three nicknames.

"He means the car, sweetheart. Our car is called a Rav4." Annabeth explained briefly.

"Okay, if we listen to 102.5." Danni bargained.

"Deal." Annabeth agreed. But I knew what she was thinking; she was secretly praying to all the gods that Justin Beiber didn't play.

*Five minutes and a couple of Macklemore songs later*

"And we put our hands up, like the ceiling can't hold us, like the ceiling can't hold us." I sang along with the radio. We still had another five minutes until we got to the Empire State Building, so I was praying that another awesome song came on. I almost swerved off the road is excitement when my song came on; Hero by Skillet. I turned up the radio and sang along. "I NEED A HERO, SAVE ME NOW, I NEED A HERO, SAVE ME NOW." I looked at Annabeth briefly and she was frowning at me. I knew she hated this song, so did Danni. I continued singing until Annabeth changed the radio station to 107.7 and her favorite song had just started; New Divide by Linkin Park. She sang along while glaring at me.

"Across this new divide…" She sang.

"Can we put in some good music?" Danni asked us. I laughed and put in a Green Day CD.

"Do you know your enemy, your enemy; do you know the enemy, whoa?" I sang.

"Next." Danni called from the back seat. We had enough time for about one more song. I clicked the skip ahead button and me and Annabeth looked at each other and sang together.

"On the boulevard of broken dreams…my shadow's the only one that walks beside me."

When we finally pulled up to the Empire State Building Danni was obviously excited.

"Can I get the key card?" She asked Annabeth as we entered the lobby.

"Sure," Annabeth said as she handed Danni a drachma and lifted her up so she could see over the desk. "here you go."

"600th floor please," Danni told the man, "Athena sent for us. She's my grandma." The man smiled at Danni and handed her the key card. "Thank you," She said politely as she handed him the drachma, "have a nice day." He chuckled and put the drachma back into her palm.

"Here you keep this." He told her, "Get some Olympus Ice-Cream on me."

"Thank you sir." Danni said as we walked into the elevator.

*After getting to Olympus and getting Danni an ice-cream cone (yes it was blue)*

We stepped into the throne room and promptly bowed to the three gods that stood before us (Zeus, Athena, and Poseidon). Danni only half bowed as she ate her ice-cream with delight. (Random Demigod Note: Olympus Ice-Cream NEVER melts and is any color you want it to be; so you can have strawberry flavored ice-cream and it could be purple!)

"We had summoned you here today to ask if you would accept our gift." Zeus began.

"The council has agreed-" Athena continued.

"I thought that never happened." Danni interrupted. I tried to stifle a laugh but failed.

"Danni!" Annabeth scolded, "It's rude to interrupt. What do you say?"

"I'm sorry." Danni apologized.

"It's quite alright." Athena said, "The council doesn't really agree on much, but we have agreed to offer you two the chance," She glanced at Annabeth and me, "to become immortal." Silence. Dead silence.

"Cool!" Danni exclaimed. I turned to look at Annabeth and she turned to look at me. We had a silent conversation and then turned to face the gods. I was vaguely aware of Danni looking up at us questioningly. I slid my hand into Annabeth's and took a deep breath. We knew our answer we knew what we had to do. I nodded unable to form words. Annabeth translated.

"We accept." She stated.

"Very well." Zeus replied. He waved his hand and there was a blinding white flash.

We were gods. Immortal, undying, gods.

THE END!
