A/N: O.o 21 reviews? In ONE DAY? Whoa. Whoa! WHOA! You guys make me so happy :) So, I just had to write another chapter….Yay!

The song for this chapter is: Make You Feel My Love by Adele

Quick note! I know Ares and Athena never really get along in myths; let alone are in the same ones. But I've always imagined that since they're both gods/goddesses of something concerning war or battle, they'd get each other. And Athena's really an independent person, and I've always thought that, even in the slightest way, Ares would feel some "big brother affection" towards her. That's what's going down in this chapter. And NO: It is NOT Poseidon's love she feels, but rather a brotherly love from Ares, and a sisterly one from Artemis.

I don't own the song, nor do I own PJO. On we go!

Chapter Five: Make You Feel My Love

Athena and Poseidon stared at each other in shock. "Okay, let's get this straight!" Athena mumbled nervously. "I, Athena, am engaged to you, Poseidon. Right?"

Poseidon nodded. "And you're pregnant with my child when we didn't even do anything!"

Athena lied down on the big bed. She stared up at Poseidon's aquarium and sighed. "Poseidon?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"Will we get booted out of the college when…you know, the kid starts to show?" Athena questioned.

"I don't know, Athena. But why would you care if we did? You don't want to work at a college as much as me," He told her.

She exhaled sharply, indicating she was about to cry. "How are they going to react?"

Poseidon sat next to her. "There's a lot of 'they's, Athena. Who are you talking about?"

"Artemis. Aphrodite. Apollo, Ares. The students? Hedge? Poseidon, everyone in my classes will look down on me, the engaged teacher that got herself knocked up." Athena shut her eyes. "What are Annabeth and Percy going to say?"

In all honesty, Poseidon had forgotten about his son and his almost-daughter-in-law. He buried his head in his hands and groaned. "They're going to hate us even more," he spoke simply.

Athena bit her lip. "We're ruining their lives with every single thing we do, Poseidon. We're engaged. That practically makes them step-siblings! I know we don't share any DNA, but that's just wrong." She shook her head sadly.

A knock came from the door. "Are you two still in there?" It was a sweet, honey-coated voice that had asked.

"Yeah, come in, Aphrodite." Athena said, wiping her eyes.

A trail of people came in, one after another. The four friends all got quiet when they saw Athena lying down. "What happened?" Apollo asked. "What did Zeus say?"

Poseidon shook his head.

"It can't be that bad," Aphrodite said, walking over to Athena. She grabbed her hand. "We're already teachers. What other shenanigans can we get into?"

"Try marriage. And kids," Poseidon added.

Artemis's eyes widened. "What? You're married? And you're having a…kid?"

"Engaged. And yes," Athena sat up glumly. "But we didn't even…I mean…you know," she said.

Aphrodite beamed a pearly smile. "Aw, you two will have the cutest little kid! He'll be all—"

"He? I believe that it should be a she." Artemis said. "Men are pigs, and that poor child doesn't have to take after its father!"

"Guys! The last thing we need right now is gender discussions!" Poseidon yelled.

"Sorry," Aphrodite saddened. "I was just trying to make you guys feel better."

"Better? How in HADES can we feel better?" Poseidon hollered at her. "I'm engaged to the person I've hated since the beginning of the ages! And now I'm having a kid with her! A kid! I didn't ask for this; I didn't want any of it!"

Athena stood, her face red and puffy. "You think I asked for this? You think I've been all rainbows and glitter about anything that has happened? First, I got sent off to high school with you! Then, you kissed me and got us kicked out! After that, we got sent off to teach brats! And now I'm engaged, Poseidon! To YOU! You think I'm happy about that? I'm happy that we're ruining not only our lives, but Annabeth and Percy's, too?" She stood her ground, walking closer to him. "You think I haven't hated you, too?"

The others watched nervously. Aphrodite was about to cry with Athena, while the others all stepped back and watched.

Poseidon shook his head at her. "I hope you do get kicked out of the job. That way, you can go back to Olympus and live your life with that thing."

Athena's mouth flew open in shock. "Thing? Well, Poseidon, this thing is your child! You expect me to carry it for seven more months, then go raise it on Olympus? First of all, Zeus won't even think about letting any of us back there for a long time! Second, if anyone is getting kicked out, it'll be the both of us!" She screamed at him.

"Yeah, you're right. You should just live with Annabeth and Percy. Quit the job now before I get fired, go explain to them what's happening, try to stop their wedding and live with Annabeth."

Athena glared at him. "I've already ruined her life enough. I'm not going to stop her wedding."

"Um, guys. It's getting late again…let's go to bed." Aphrodite suggested.

"It's three in the afternoon!" Apollo yelled. "MY territory. Day, not night."

"None of us have territories any more, dip wad." Ares told Apollo.

"I'm out of here. I'll see you guys later." Athena said. She grabbed her discarded shoes from the night before in the hall and marched down the stairs.

Artemis glanced at Aphrodite. "Where's she going?" she asked nervously.

A car was heard starting, followed by the sound of a garage closing. "Hopefully far away!" Poseidon burst.

Apollo stared at Poseidon. "Not cool, dude. Athena's a sensitive person; we've known that all along."

Ares shrugged. "She's family, Poseidon. Sure we don't get along or even hang out together, but she's still my little sister. No good big brother lets his little sister run away from home."

Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and smiled. "So he does have a heart!"

Ares grinned.

Apollo flexed his no-muscle muscles. "Yeah, I wouldn't dare let any guy touch my little sister and get away with it."

"For the last time, I'm OLDER. I helped deliver you!" Artemis rolled her eyes.

Poseidon walked towards the door and opened it, for only seconds ago it was slammed shut by a certain curly, black haired girl. "Fine. If you all love her so much, go get her."

"Only just an hour ago you were defending her," Artemis told Poseidon. "And now you hate her again." She shook her head.

Poseidon was silent.

"I'll go get her." Ares huffed. "But this is the only time I show affection to Athena."

"I'll come, too. She'll need some female support." Artemis mumbled.

Ares and Artemis searched the town for hours. They had finally found Athena at Central Park, sitting on the park bench. It had begun to sprinkle, and had gotten very windy. Her hair was damp and tangled, and her face was just as red and puffy—if not more—as when she left.

Ares took a seat next to his half-sister. "Athena," he spoke.

Athena looked up slightly. "Hi, Ares."

When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case.
I will offer you a warm embrace,
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears.
I will hold you for a million years,
To make you feel my love.

Ares awkwardly wrapped an arm around Athena's shoulders. She looked up at him with a shocked face, but it turned to a grateful one when he relaxed. He wrapped another arm around her and let her cry into his shirt.

Artemis sat on the other side of her, moving her hand in soothing circles on her back; something a mother would do to a child. She rested her head on Athena's shoulder as she sobbed.

"Athena?" Artemis asked after Athena had calmed.

"What?" she mumbled, still holding her half-brother.

"Why are you really upset? I know it's not because of Percy and Annabeth."

Athena slowly sat up. She wiped her cried-out eyes and sighed. "I mean, it is them. But it's other things, too."

"Is it the baby?" Artemis asked. "I may not be the goddess of childbirth anymore, but I know how to help. During and before the birth,"

Athena nodded. "Mostly. I can't believe she'd do this to me. I just…hate her so much right now."

"No one likes Hera, really." Ares spoke.

"Not hard to believe," Athena exhaled.

"Do you love him?" Artemis asked her.

Athena stared at a pine tree. "I don't know. Sometimes. Sometimes I really hate him, though."

She stared up at the stars. Artemis did, too. "Look," she pointed up. "That there is Zoe. Zoe was one of my favorite huntresses—she died nobly. That's why I made her a constellation…so I can always remember her and her heroic actions."

Ares stood. "Athena, I think we should head home."

Athena nodded. She and Artemis stood. Athena slightly smiled at Ares. "Thanks. For finally acting like a brother."

He nodded at her. "Just don't get used to it."

A/N: Well…

There you go.

I hope you enjoyed!

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

I, Suzie, will not be on FanFiction until Easter Sunday/the following few days. I am VERY SORRY, but it's a class project to detach ourselves from the thing that ties us to the world the most for Lent. And to be honest…it's the internet, for me. That means NO internet at all (unless it's for school). HOWEVER, I didn't give up writing for Lent (yes, I'm doing this all because I go to a Catholic Private school), so don't worry! I promise to have at least ONE chapter uploaded by the Wednesday after Easter…seems fair.

I'll miss you all! I won't be able to get on even my EMAIL for a while :( But, it's for God, so if He wills it—which I feel He does—I shall obey. I will see you all in about 41 days!

Until then…

Have a prayerful Holy Thursday!
Have a prayerful Good Friday!
Have a prayerful Holy Saturday!
And have a most prayerful, hopeful, and joyous Easter Sunday!
May God be with you all in this next forty days…try to determine what He's calling YOU to do this Lent!

And for any non-Catholics, sorry, but I am. I mean no offense by expressing religion…but I still wish you all an AWESOME EASTER!

Oh, and for any Catholics…I pray for you to persevere in the no-meat day tomorrow and for the next few Fridays. God knows I need help with that. I love meat. I loooooove meat…just like Sokka….Meat….

I love feedback almost as much as Aphrodite loves love!
Happy Easter!
