Timestamp: The Fledglings
(A/N) I was having severe writer's block on this and the chapters weren't coming out right, so I decided that it would be better just to make this into a tablet. I'm sorry if you wanted all the details, but I'm just going to leave it to your imagination.

Throughout the duration of the pregnancy, Archangel Annabeth/Michael remained in Annabeth's form. Would the baby disappear altogether if they switched back and forth? Would it have health problems? They didn't want to take the risk, so throughout those nine months the Archangel remained in Annabeth's form, and one could tell who was in control by the color of her eyes; blue for Michael, grey for Annabeth. Speaking of Michael, he and Percy constantly bickered over what their child was going to call them. I quote Percy from a few months before the child's birth, "Michael has to fucking suck it up and deal with 'Papa' because I'm totally calling dibs on 'Daddy'." It was comical to say the least.
On July 9th, 2017, Annabeth gave birth to a perfectly healthy, beautiful baby boy who she, Percy, and Michael named Iapetus, Pete for short. He is a new type of angel, a mix between an Archangel and another, and has traits from both types, and the government has yet to decide what to call it. Pete's uncles fawned over him, and he had to be the most spoiled child in the history of the universe, though his parents were keen to make sure he didn't dangle his title in front of his piers; they told him that being the heir to the throne (God forbid something happened to Michael and Annabeth) meant he had to take on more responsibility, rather than putting it on someone else's shoulders just because he could. He was, by far, the most helpful (and shockingly intelligent) boy in the school, offering tutoring whenever he could and helping the teacher clean up after class.
Though it didn't, doesn't, really set him back, Iapetus was born with two gigantic black wings that flabbergasted all of the doctors; Archangel genes were incredibly dominant, and on top of the fact that Percy's black wing genes were extremely recessive, it was surprising to find that Iapetus had inherited them. Nobody dared to insult him, and even though Iapetus was beyond capable of fending for himself, his parents were there to back him up, just in case someone tried to badmouth him.
For some odd reason all of his friends called him "Bob" in first grade, unable to pronounce his full name or even the shortened version, and the nickname stuck like glue. Iapetus didn't mind at all, and actually enjoys his nickname much better than his full name, which he thinks sounds, I quote, "Too much like 'I peed us. What were my parents thinking?'" Pete could never really quite grasp the fact that sometimes he had a mother and a father and sometimes he had two fathers, but he accustomed much better than everyone had predicted.
As millennia passed, Pete grew to become second-in command of Heaven's armies, alongside Annabeth/Michael. He is loyal and very much liked by everyone, with a gentle, guiding hand and a very approachable attitude. The heir to the throne has an odd obsession with his tiny calico cat, who he calls "Small Bob". Michael is very much allergic to cats and complains constantly, but he can't deny that the feline makes his son happy and therefore makes the Archangel happy.
Nico and Will's children; the twins, Andromeda and Balthazar, and the older child, Tobias, grew to become incredibly successful, despite the fact that they lacked their biological parents (both of whom were nature angels, so all of their children are nature angels as well). Andromeda joined the council that helps decide whether angels should be sentenced to fall at Uriel's hand, and is very popular for her quick wit and her ability to assess a problem from all angles and points of view. She has since helped to reduce the severity of many angels' punishments; instead of losing their wings they have to perform community service and the like, and crowds of angels owe her their wings. Balthazar joined the huge horde of staff at Leo and Calypso's shop, and pretty soon climbed the ranks (no influence from his closeness to Leo and Calypso at all) to become assistant CEO with his aunt and uncle. Balthazar joined the military and became very close acquaintances with Reyna, as well as notable figures like Athena and Ares.
Hazel and Frank had a single daughter whom they named Marie, in honor of Hazel's late mother. When she'd come of age, the messenger angel was hired by her good family friend Archangel Azrael, who was incredibly close with Marie's grandfather, Hades. She usually resides in his palace as of now and comes back to the house for holidays, though Hazel and Frank admit that they miss her dearly.
Jason, Piper, Leo, and Calypso never had any children, but they were all more than willing to babysit when their friends needed a day off.
The fledglings themselves can provide more information about their upbringing, but requested that the locations of their homes to be censored, with the exception of Marie, of course.
