Percy is 2 years old

Hestia POV/Third Person

Fire and Hearth, they must always be together, without one, the other cannot thrive. Fire can bring people together, it can spread warmth, happiness and light to anyone in the room. It also can be un-predictable though... deadly and impulsive. The hearth is the rock though. It keeps the fire from being impulsive, from turning evil; it kindles the fire, so it can be at it's strongest and brightest It's the fires home, though homes can be broken, or over-thrown…

Hestia's rambling thoughts then drifted off towards her beautiful baby boy. In this sense, what or who, would the hearth represent? The fire is Percy, but who would the hearth be? Every fire needs its hearth. But whom…

She was suddenly thrown out of her thoughts when a a childish, tinkling, sort of bells laughter came from behind her. She turned her head slightly to see quite an amusing sight.

The usual paintings on the soft red wall were now burned to crisp, charred to disbelief. The only thing left now was a heap of ashes piled like a mountain on the ground. The Moon Titan was writhing on the ground, com-pulsing violently as her body was locked in a fetal position. The pain goddess was now running around, arms flailing, while being chased by a flame and magical floating arrow army that only seemed to multiply by the minute. And in the middle of all the chaos was Percy, eyes changing color rapidly, from flames, to silver to pure black.

She then studied her little boy and his quirky habits.

Already he was showing an amazing amount of raw power. Zeus would surely destroy him if he found it out about the child. She doubted Aphrodite would let seeing as he was already becoming a beautiful little boy. With that raven black hair of his, his tan but chubby cheeks body, and his fascinating, beautiful flame eyes…

"Hestia, you better freaking help me now, before I go all Athena on your face," screamed out Odyne, still running for her life from the ever slowly advancing army.

"Yeah, please, help," gasped out Selene, who somehow seemed to be com-pulsing faster than before (if that was even possible).

Hestia looked around at the mess laughing, then she turned her head and softly said, "Hey sweetie, can you turn your powers off please, you're hurting your aunties."

Percy looked up widely and frantically, eyes bright with blue flames, which usually meant he was confused or scared.

His lower lip started to tremble, "I'm hurting aunties, I sowy," cried Percy, "I turn off."

Immediately, Selene stopped com-pulsing, and the flame and arrow army dissipated into the air. Percy stood up on his wobbly two-year-old legs, and walked slowly over to Hestia. He reached out his arms to her, wiping his tears off because in his mind, big boys didn't cry.

"Up please mommy," said Percy, still teary from before, even though he tried not to show it.

Hestia picked him up, holding him tightly as if he was going to disappear any second. "They forgive you Percy, right guys?"

Odyne walked over slowly and warily now free of the flames, "Yeah, as long as you stop doing that flame thing Champ. Tia, I really think we should start training him, like NOW. He's worrying me, with all that raw power he's showing," stated Odyne.

"Yeah, if I get pain-attacked one more time…" threatened Selene. Her threat really didn't hold any challenge though, as she was still trying to will her body to let her out of the fetal position.

Percy turned his beautiful silver eyes now, changing his eye color as he deemed necessary and said, "I so sorry Sel, I start training now, I don't want to hurt anybody anymore."

Hestia looked at her child, head shaking widely, "Percy, think about this, training with us will be difficult and you're only 2 years old, I really think that's not the best idea."

Percy shook his head violently, "No, I want to start now! No hurt anybody no more."

"How about we start training you for battle when you're four, but start training you with your powers when you're three?" stated Odyne

"I like that, it's a compromise, and really Hestia, you're arguing with a two year old," drawled Selene.

Hestia shot Selene with a glare, "He's very intellectual and cunning, don't degrade him. And it's important to include him on this stuff, it's his powers and body."

Odyne shot Hestia a wary smile. "Calm down Hestia, Im kind of scared of you right now, usually you're pretty calm, but ever since Percy was born, you've been tense, really protective, and sort of snappy."

"Yeah, Tia, were worried about you," asked Selene.

"Yeah mommy, please don't hur yourself, plwease," whispered Percy his famous flame eyes back, "I wove you, and I don want to see you hurtin."

Hestia started to tear up a little hearing them, "You guys are the best of friends, and you are the best son a women could ever have, and you're right I have been stressed. I just can't take a break though.

She turned her head downward towards Percy. "I love you too much Percy to see you get hurt, I promised to protect you on the till I fade, I swear this on the River Styx."

She then turned her head towards her friends thunder rumbling in the background from the oath she just took, illuminating her face making her look powerful and frightening, yet still scared.

"And I couldn't expect you guys to take care of Percy, I just couldn't."

Selene smiled softly, "Sure you can, give him to us for a few hours. We'll watch him, and look he's sleeping. Go check your hearth and your Mount freaking Olympus.

A slight snore came from Hestia's arms.

In all the commotion, the goddess again forgot about the baby boy in her arms, she looked down at her baby to see him sucking on his thumb, and snoring slightly.

"Aww, he's adorable," cooed Hestia.

"Dang Rabbits, just give me the baby boy," stated Odyne in an exasperated tone, forcefully taking the baby boy out of Hestia's arms.

Hestia looked worriedly around at the two friends she called sister, then made up her mind, "Alright, make sure he's safe though," threatened Hestia, " If I come back to see a mess then…

"Don't worry about us, we'll be fine, we've taken care of Percy before," reassured Selene.

"Alright…" Said Hestia warily, and then flashed out in a burst of flames.

The two goddesses thought the same thing at the same time; this is going to be a piece of cake.

All of a sudden though, Percy's eyes flashed open, red-bursting flames sprinkled in his pupil, silver ringed around that, and pure blackness everywhere else.

{Page Break}

Hestia didn't know what she was expecting when she flashed herself to Mount Olympus. Maybe a search party, distresses call for help… something, anything. Not this, never this. For what she saw was horrifying… she saw nothing wrong.

Everybody going along his or her business, nobody even notices that she just returned from a 3-month absence (time passes faster in Mount Ida, because of Kronos remnants).

Hestia's face fell, "Am I really that invisible, or am I just that plain?" she thought to herself, almost tearing up.

She turned away to flash back to her baby boy, when all of a sudden a pair of tan, muscled, set of arms lifted her up into a bone-crushing hug. She immediately panicked, and shot a fireball from her back to her attacker. There was a distinct OW, and her capturer jumped back cradling his badly burnt arm.

She leapt back, ready to strike at a moment's notice, when all of a sudden the stranger lifted his head for her to see, and an all too familiar face popped into her line sight.

"Really fireball, was that really necessary? I've been searching for you for over 3 months, and then when I do find you, you attack me! It's not like I'm a drunken Apollo," ranted Poseidon, still clutching his badly burned arm.

Hestia's face lit up with joy. "You noticed I was missing! Wait, who else did? Are you Alright? When did you find out that I was gone?" ranted Hestia, firing questions off like it was a speed-date and they only had a minute left.

Poseidon scratched his head with a confused look on his face. "Whaaaatt yaw say?"

Hestia sighed slowly, "Did anybody notice that I was missing?"

"OH, no, just me, and I didn't tell anybody…I didn't want to look stupid if I found out you were just at Camp Half-Blood or what not. And yeah my arm does hurt fireball.… by the way, why are carrying a baby bag?" questioned Poseidon.

Hestia blushed and cursed in Greek. "It's nothing, the mortals always do this egg, baby thing, and I wanted to try it out," lied Hestia, very obviously, might I add.

"Hestia, what did you do!" exclaimed Poseidon; starting to advance on her, cornering her with his body and his forming water army.

"Nothing! And I can't tell you…it's for your own safety… and mine," whispered Hestia, feeling guilty that she had to keep a secret from Poseidon.

"Screw protecting me Hestia! You know I'm the only one that truly cares about you, and what's going on with this secret thing, I tell you everything!" whispered Poseidon, sounding hurt but then his voice suddenly dropped to a whisper, "I don't want to see you get hurt… I can protect you, and I will."

"I can't, I'm sorry I can't tell you, maybe later but not today," whispered Hestia flashing out, as she was not able to take the guilt anymore.

All that was left of their conservation was a very confused and frustrated Poseidon, the smell of smoke in the air, and one body that slipped quietly out of the room right after Hestia left; hearing and recording the entire conversation unnoticed.

{Page Break}

Hestia appeared at Mount Ida a few moments later, eyes misty, and a very troubling conversation still re-playing in her heard. She wiped the tears off her eyes, determined not to let her friends and baby boy see that she was in tears.

Speaking of her baby boy… she suddenly stretched out her hearing and senses (a gift from Odyne), then sighed softly. She heard nothing. She didn't even know why she was worried, Percy probably slept through the entire thing.

She then swept open the door, "I'm Home." Her eyes widened as she took in the sight before her.

"What in the name of all things sane happened here?"

Hey guys, I hope you like the second chapter as much as the first! I know these last two chapters have been quite slow, but trust me there will be action, Jay Leno remarks, and much more in the next chapter. Again please review and tell me who Percy should be with, and what you think Hestia saw when she came home!

Please review, that's the only way I know that I'm doing something right! And I usually PM/review your story if you review mine!
