My lovely friends! I am so sorry for not updating, but now I'm in 8th grade, and school's driving me mad with the amount of homework I'm being subjected to. Add the fact exams are going on, and the computer decided to go completely haywire, yeah, it's been crazy. But I promise you, you'll get your updates at least once in two weeks. Wizard's honor ;)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my newest creation! And just so you know, the POVs are now going to switch between whosoever's mortal parents are being told, before reverting to Percy's for the immortal ones.

Last thing, I have decided to switch around with the kids' ages. It will be up on the first chapter. I'll edit the one they'll introduce themselves too.

Piper POV

Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods!

I can hardly believe it. I have two kids, and they are with Jason. Oh. My. Gods. I'm the happiest girl on the planet right at this moment.

When Percy, Annabeth, Christ, Andy and Cassie returned, the parents' held a meeting to discuss some stuff, mainly how do we tell our parents.

It was decided that Annabeth would go after me, and I'll be first (she wanted to see how mine went). Reyna would then tell her sister, and Travis and Katie would follow. Clarisse would go last.

I took a deep breath and stood in front of the fountain in Percy's cabin. Everyone (as in the future kids and their parents) was there, egging me on, encouraging me with things like, 'You can do it, Piper!' and, 'It won't be too hard!'

Can you shut up for a moment, people? I don't want your encouragement. I'll call up Dad when I'm ready to do it.

'Cut it out! I'll do it when I'll be able to!' I shouted at them, finally losing my cool. They all shut up, and I turned to nervously finger the drachma in my hands and stared into the rainbow.

I really don't know what to tell Dad. If he freaked when I started reading Twilight (eek! Breaking Dawn Part 1 comes out this year!), then when I started dating Jason, and the time I told him the biggest secret of my life, I don't want to think of what his reaction will be when he comes to know that I have a couple of kids in the future.

I had told him of the Greek gods' existence, Mom being Aphrodite, and Jason being Zeus' son.

Dad looked shocked (actually, that's a mild word; he looked like I'd punched him on the face) at that, but that was before I told him Mellie was an aura and Coach Hedge was a satyr. Then, I'm afraid, he had to take an aspirin, as he fainted and hit his head on the coffee table, which produced a major headache. He spent the rest of the day skirting around the two, but then got over it soon enough.

I took a deep breath, figuring I wouldn't gain any more courage by stalling, and threw the coin in the rainbow.

'O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please show me Tristan McLean, Mellie the aura and Coach Gleeson Hedge.'

I started clutching my arms the moment I threw in the coin. I was hoping that Dad and Mellie and Coach would be together and alone. Thankfully, the litae seemed to grant my prayer, and I came upon a scene in the mist.

'… I visit Pipes?' Dad was saying. My heart stopped; Dad wanted to see me?

'Dad,' I called out in a weak-ish voice. His chair turned around and he gave me a huge smile. 'Pipes!'

'Hey Dad,' I told him. 'I wanted to tell you something.'

I stopped for a moment, trying to figure out what to say, before…

'I'm pregnant,' I blurted out. Immediately, I was surrounded by a commotion. Jason fainted right onto Percy's bed, and Dad, Mellie and Coach had a hard time not following (though how Mellie can faint, I don't know). All my friends were frozen to the last thing they'd done. My nieces and nephews were looking at me openmouthed, and Penny's eyes were as wide as they could be. Aeneas was muttering in a strangled voice, 'But I can't be born now!'

Dad had now reduced himself into incoherent splutters, 'What – but – how – who – you – what?'

All this while, I was trying to figure out what, in the name of the gods, had just come out of my mouth.

'Um… in the future, yeah,' I said, feeling uncomfortable. No one quieted down. I ran out of patience after a few more tries and shouted, 'Everyone, quiet down!'

Everyone's mouths snapped close and Jason came around after two minutes (courtesy of Percy Jackson and his water yielding powers), and I took a deep breath to continue. I grabbed Aeneas and Penny by their arms and pushed them in front of the IM. Dad, Mellie and Coach went wide-eyed looking at the two as I went and grabbed Jason's hand and took him in front of the IM.

'Yeah, um, I don't know why I said I was pregnant,' Dad, Jason and Aeneas all winced at that while Coach and Mellie looked awkward, 'Because I'm not. I wanted to tell you, Dad, that your future grandkids decided to visit early. This,' I took Penny's hand and shook it in the air, 'Is Penelope Grace, Penny for short, and her older brother, Aeneas.' I repeated the motion with Aeneas.

Dad, who had heaved a great sigh of relief when I said I wasn't pregnant, choked. Mellie and Coach looked at each other pale-faced. Jason looked deeply thankful that I wasn't actually pregnant, considering we hadn't, well, you know, have that.

'You mean to say that you – and him!?' Dad pointed first at me, then Jason, turning redder.

'Married with two kids – in the future,' I nodded my consent. Dad heaved a large sigh, his face blood-red.

'Right. I'm killing this boyfriend of yours,' Dad said, steam almost pouring out of his ears.

'What?!' I nearly shouted. 'Dad! This happens – um – four years into the future?' I looked at Aeneas for assistance.

'Seven, Mom,' Aeneas told me. I gestured to him while looking at Dad, as if to say, See?

'Twenty three! You were twenty three when you had him?'

'Um, yes?' I wasn't really sure as to how I should react.

'That's it! I've had enough! Dating at sixteen is bad enough, but having your first child at twenty three? That is unacceptable! I refuse to be a grandpa in seven years' time!' Dad was getting hysterical.

'Dad!' I shouted, losing my patience. 'I'm going to be old enough, alright? You are overreacting big time.'

Dad opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it, looking mutinous. That didn't stop him from throwing a look of deep loathing to Jason, though.

'Daddy,' I said sternly. He deflated when I called him that. I hadn't called him Daddy for years. 'Be nice.'

'Yes, Pipes,' he said with a sigh. I smiled with relief. 'But I don't like it,' he added.

'I know you don't Daddy,' I smiled.

Dad closed his eyes with a pained look on his face.

'I just wish you didn't grow up so fast, Pipes,' he said sadness etched on every pore of his face.

'It's tough to see you go from being six to sixteen, and not needing my help with things anymore,' he continued. I blinked back tears, melancholy flooding through me.

He thought he was losing me as I was going to Jason.

I realized how much pain he went through when he saw me fight monsters. He almost died along with me. The only difference was that I would die due to weapons and claws, while he would die from worry.

I realized that since I told him of my world, he feared that someone would come to call, and that his fears would turn into reality, that I died.

I realized that he loved me even though he couldn't spend time with me. I realized that he lived for me.

I realized that I was his reason for living. Without me, he'd be nothing. He'd die.

'I love you, Daddy,' I whispered reaching out to the IM.

'Love you too, Pipes,' he said, a sad smile on his face.

With that, the rainbow evaporated.

Just so you know, litae are goddesses or spirits of prayer.

Okay… the last part was way deeper than I'd imagined, but okay.

Guys, this is the last chapter in which I'm going to be saying that there's a poll. The moment I put up the next chapter for Gods and Demigods Read The Lightening Thief – Rewrite, the poll will be down. So vote, vote, vote!

Yours truly,

Stella
