Percy POV

It has been five months since Apollo and I got engaged, I have been feeling sick lately, every morning when I wake up I would sprint to the bathroom and throw my guts out, I have also been having extreme mood swings and I'm also always hungry. I went to ask my mother what was happening to me and she said that I might be pregnant, so she got me a pregnancy test and when we got the result it came back positive.

"Mom I can't believe I'm pregnant" I said with tears of joy in my eyes. My mom at this point was jumping for joy saying she going to be a grandmother over and over, "I wonder how I should tell Apollo, that we are going to have a baby" I exclaimed. "Percy honey, just be forward with him, he would be very happy that he will get to have a child who he can be a dad to, not just a father" mom said smiling. After that I told mom that I had to go tell my fiancée the news.

Apollo I called out and he came out of the living room of our house and asked me what's wrong and I just smiled and shook my head and said to him that the is nothing wrong. I went up to him and gave him a searing kiss and embraced him guiding his hands towards my womb and looked him in the eye and said "We are going to be parents" I said smiling warmly at him and I saw that he was now crying and thanking me for making him the happiest man in creation, which made me cry with him.

"I have never been able to raise any of my children even the ones that became gods, because they too were born demigods and the ancient law deprived me of the chance, thank you Percy for everything, I love you so much" he said kissing me again, not that I minded and we stayed that way for what like forever.

"Apollo, why do you taste of ambrosia?" I asked, "what I was very hungry and I can't cook to save my life, and besides if I'm going to eat anything and if its not your cooking, I'm not eating and Aunt Hestia's food is amazing, yours is far better, so I only had ambrosia" he said and I laughed at him, for his stupidity. "I could have made you something before I left dummy" I said rolling my eyes, realisation hit him that he could have asked. "I guess your hungry?" I asked. "Well I'm actually starving" he answered truthfully and he led me to the kitchen and I made us something to eat. I thanked my lucky stars that I was blessed with a mother who could cook and was nice enough to teach me. It didn't take a long time for me to make something to eat and when I was done we eat in the dinning room.

After dinner all I wanted was to lie down and my eyes started getting droopy and I feel into a dreamless sleep. When I woke up I noticed that I was in our bedroom and my head was on Apollo's well sculpted chest and I could help but kiss it and take in his wonderful scent, I noticed that he was watching me and his eyes were full of lust and as I was about indulge him I suddenly had an urge to empty the contents of my stomach and I ran to the bathroom room and noticed a pair of hands holding my hair out of the way. "Thank you" I said looking at him in the eyes. "We are in this together my love" Apollo said with a smile. He than proceeded to give me a kiss on my forehead and left me to brush my teeth. When I was done I saw him lying on our bed without a shirt and I felt the wind knocked out of me. "Like what you see babe" he said smirking and I just rolled my eyes at him and said "Oh shut and get dressed" he just smiled and complied. After I told Apollo to get dressed I went down stairs to make myself and Apollo food to eat. A few minutes into making breakfast Apollo came down and asked me "What should we name our son?" "How do you know its going to be a he and not a girl?" I asked curiously, "I don't, I just want it to be a boy, so that when we get girl, she will have an older brother to protect her" he said smiling a bit, "You know you are such a big softy Delian" he just rolled his eyes and asked "What are you making love?" "Food" I replied with a smile. After our little banter, I served him some food and some for myself and we ate.

After break fast I went to take a shower and he went to the hunters' camp to tell his sister about my pregnancy, I on the other hand decided to go tell my Parents and Tri.

I was about to flash myself to Atlantis when Aunt Hestia flashed in. "Morning Percy, how are you today?" she asked with her usual smile, which made me smile to, "I'm great thank you, I have great news for you" I said which got her to rise an eyebrow, "Apollo and I are having a baby" this made her jump at me to embrace me in a hug and said to me "You two will be wonderful parents and I'm happy you are both happy, he has never truly been happy until you entered his life, even when you were male he was always fond of you, more than his own children as sad as that may be, it's very true you have given him the strength to carry on, I was at one point worried that he might fade, which did in fact nearly happened until I told him to never loose hope and faith of tomorrow being better than today, but you can wait for it to come your way, you must create your own joy and when you do you will find someone worthy of your love and I hope you too will be worthy of such a person who would love you without question" she said looking at me, with eyes full of warmth. "You knew, didn't you?" I asked a little bewildered. She smiled and nodded her head to confirm that she knew that Apollo and I would eventually find each other. "How?" I asked, "You Percy, have always had an aura similar to that of a girl, so I figure that it was not a coincidence. I than saw how he would talk to you, his eyes, even if he didn't notice always softened when you were at his side and you yours did the same thing" she said, and I stared at her in short. "Percy, I am happy for, but you need to let Apollo take care of you now, you will be in no fighting shape for a while, so take provisions "she said, and I looked at her worriedly, I wanted to protest, but I knew she was right, so I nodded. "Now, I best be leaving, bye Percy" she said, flashing out. I stayed there for a few minutes after she flashed out thinking of ways I could still protect Olysia in my state and when I found the solution. I flashed myself to Atlantis.

Apollo POV (after he flashed himself to the hunt's camp)

After I had breakfast with Percy, I flashed myself to where the hunters had setup camp and I was nervous to tell Artemis that Percy and I are expecting our first child together. When I arrived at their camp I noticed that the hunters were having breakfast, I couldn't see Artemis or Thalia, so I went over to ask one of her hunters Phoebe, where are Thalia and Artemis. "Hello Phoebe, were is Artemis?" I asked her, "Hello Lord Apollo, Lady Artemis and Thalia are in Artemis' tent" she replied with a shy smile. "Thank you" I said and then left to find my two sisters. As I walked towards her tent I saw them coming out with frowns marking their faces, I wondered what could have happened to annoy them so, I thought to myself. "What's the matter you two?" I asked, "Father wants me to hunter an ancient monster, but Thalia thinks I can't handle it" Artemis replied with exasperation evident in her voice. "To be fair sis you were captured the last time you went on a solo hunt" I said to Artemis and she fired an arrow at me. "Hey, facts are facts, and also there will be no one powerful enough to rescue you if you were to get captured, last time you had three children of the big three looking for you, now only Thalia is left" I said to her. "So you agree with Thalia?" she asked, I just sighed and said "I'm not on either side, I'm just telling the risks you would face" this caused Artemis to think for a bit and then she smiled and said "If I got captured, Percy could rescue me" I was getting a little angry and told her "Not going to happen, Percy is in no condition to fight" Thalia and Artemis looked confused, and asked why is that? "Percy is pregnant, and I'm going to allow her anywhere near danger" I said with finality. They were both trying to process that Percy was pregnant, "What do you mean kelp head is pregnant?" asked Thalia, "I meant exactly what I said, we are going to have a child together" this caused Thalia to wear a look of hurt, and she said "Percy didn't tell me" I just rolled my eye. "of course she didn't tell you, because she only found out yesterday and besides, she has to tell her family first" Thalia now had a look of understanding and longing, while Artemis just had a look of fake disgust.

"Another maiden gone, taken by my fool brother" she said with a smile. "Where is Percy anyway?" asked Thalia. "She is supposed to be with her parent in Atlantis, to tell the news" I said, Thalia looked like she wanted to say something, but decided better of it in the end. "Thalia may I borrow Artemis for a while?" I asked, "Sure, besides I need to contact Percy" then she left in a sprint, leaving Artemis and I all alone. I started to look around and saw that the their camp was situated near a small creek, I could smell the wide open air of decaying leave and some of the trees were beginning to develop frost at the tips, that showed that winter was indeed on it's way, but the air smelled fresher and than I does during summer.

"Walk with me" I said to Artemis and she gladly agreed to do with me, "Do you ever think about mother?" I asked her almost afraid of the answer she will give me, she sighed and said truthfully "I haven't for a long time" I just nodded and her and than she asked me the same thing and I said "I think about her a lot in truth I was heart broken when she faded, I have always tried to hide it, but she noticed" this shocked her stiff and she had tears in her eyes and I went over and gave her a hug. "Why didn't you ever tell me?" she asked. "I shouldn't have too, I always notice when you are sad, which is what saddened me the most of all, my own sister doesn't even see past her eyes, to see what lies beneath the smiles I wore" I said shaking my head feeling a bit disappointed. "You will be an amazing father Apollo, people always judge you cruelly, because of who you are, Percy brings out the goodness in you that you have tried to hide from us, you and Percy were made for each other, mother would be proud of the man you are now, just as I am proud for the first time to call you my brother" she said with tears in her eyes. "I can't wait to be an Aunt to your children for the first time, I know you have had other kids, but as sad as that my be, you are not a father figure to them and most died in the two wars and some died coming to camp, which left only two demigod children and I am aware that since I was captured you hadn't had any relations with mortal women. So that is why your cabin is as empty as the big three cabins, because they are both not campers any longer. "So you noticed?" I asked surprised. "Yes I noticed, how could I not, you didn't seem all together, but I thought you were just tired of siring demigods, condemning them to a horrible life full of death and pain, while you sit in your throne on Olympus, watching them die and having no power to change it and what's worse even the sons you had that were turned immortal decided to fade a long time ago" she said smiling, I smiled too. "I'm happy for you, but I'm mostly happy that you were lucky enough to find love, I wish I was as lucky" she said with longing and her eyes looking at the sky.

Artemis and I continued to spend the day talking, truly talking with each other for the first time in our lives and not just banter we share. After talking to her we headed back to the hunters and I saw Thalia talking to Zoë. I quickly went up to Zoë and told her the news of Percy's pregnancy, which she took better than Artemis, because she started smiling and looked like she wanted to jump up and down in elation. After Zoë had calmed down, I said my goodbyes to go home, and just thinking about going home to see Percy made me want to giggle like school girl, who just had her crush wink at her, gods I love that woman, I thought to myself before flashing out of their camp. When I arrived I saw Percy already asleep, looking all innocent and harmless, even though she was far from it. "Gods you're beautiful" I whispered in her ear and picked up her sleeping form and when I got to our bedroom I tucked her in and kissed her forehead and I got changed and got into the covers of the bed and fell into a dreamless sleep with Percy now resting her head on my chest and my arms around her petit frame.

Poseidon POV (After Percy flashed out of her home)

I was sitting in my throne as I always do, when I saw a frightened looking Triton, running my way. "What did you do now" I asked him, shaking my head. "I didn't do anything, well besides the fact mom caught Zoë and I in very compromising position and mom lost it" he said and I couldn't help but laugh at him. I too have been at the receiving end of the Amphitrite madness we like to call it on Olympus, Hera is nothing compared to a pissed of Amphitrite, I thought to myself and I noticed a presence entering the palace and I easily recognised it as Percy, who seemed to be beaming and glowing more than she usually does.

"Hi dad, Tri, how are you today?" she asked politely and I could see Triton was about to say something, usually I would stop him, but today I want to hear it. "Hey Percy, why are you glowing, are you pregnant or something?" he asked and I could blushing furiously, before she nodded. I was stunned and I could see that Triton was just as stunned as I am, we didn't even realise that Amphitrite had entered the room glaring at Triton. "Why are you two looking like you have just seen a ghost?" she asked, and in our shocked state, we were unable to answer her, so she turned to see Percy standing there and asked what's going on, and Percy replied with "I'm pregnant" with a visible blush painted on her face. Amphitrite too was shocked, but not shocked into immobility. "I'm going to be a grandmother?" asked Amphitrite with immense levels of joy, that helped me out of the little trance I was in. "Congratulations, baby girl" I said, and it broke Triton from his trance and said "Well, well, well, it seems that little Percy is all grown up" and Percy punched his shoulder lightly with a smile. "When did you find out?" I asked, "I found out yesterday and I couldn't be happier" she replied, with a wide smile, that made us all smile with her. For the rest of the day we spent with Percy talking about what she will name my grandchild once he or she is born and for the most part she kept it Greek with Eione for a girl and Anatolios for a boy, which I strongly approve of, because Percy is a child of the sea and Apollo is a sun god, they make perfect sense, but soon it was time for Percy to say her goodbye and she looked very tired to say the least and then she flashed out leaving, me with a very excited Triton and Amphitrite. "I can't wait to hold my grandchild she said with a wistful smile and left for our room and Triton just smiled and headed to his own room, and I too just smiled, today was I good day for the sea I thought, and I too retired to my our room with a smile.

The following day

3rd POV

The next day when Percy and Apollo woke up they started talking about when they should have their wedding and decided to hold it in week, so that Percy does not become to big, which Apollo didn't say out loud, but he let Percy say it as it was the only way for him to say it without saying it. They spent the day informing the primordial council about the pregnancy and also talked to Eros, so that he could organise their wedding in a week, which he readily agreed to with an eager smile.

Apollo decided that he would like to write his own vows for Percy and he had been writing them ever since he proposed to her.

Percy had been stressing around, because she wanted to write her own vows, but she didn't know to begin, so enlisted the help of her mother Amphitrite and her Aunt Hestia, to help her write them. Hestia suggested to Percy that she not think about the vows, but instead think about what the vows mean to her and why she is making them, vows alone are just words that bare no wait, its what those word represent that makes a vow. "Write your vows to reflect how you feel about Apollo" her mother added to what Hestia said. After talking to both Amphitrite and Hestia, she knew full well what she wanted to say to Apollo. After the little dilemma about the vows had been solved she invited Her mom sally and Amphitrite who had gotten over Poseidon cheating on her with Sally and are now close friends, and also it helps that Amphitrite is now biologically related to Percy, due to her adopting Percy. The trio had been looking at various dress from Vera Wang, to Monique Lhuillier, but none seemed to match her personality, until they found a wonderful Tulle petit pois dress covered by a layer of natural white Tulle with Chantilly and Guipure lace Appliqué and mother of pearl precious stones, it had a Bateau neckline with long sleeves covered in appliqué and sheer layer over a heart shaped neckline, with Mermaid silhouette dress by Pronovias.

When they had found the dress, Percy told them that she wanted white lilies for her wedding bouquet, then they decided to grab some lunch on Percy's behalf and they spent the day talking over wedding preparations. When the day's activities had been completed, they all decided to go their separate ways. Percy arrived home wearing a big smile similar to that of her fiancée, who she found lying sleeping peaceful, so she went over him and kissed him sweetly on the lips and tried to walk away without waking him, but a hand gently held her from leaving and then she was pulled into an embrace, and she could feel his chest rising and falling and when she saw the look in his eye she just smiled and got of him and walked with sultry smile making Apollo's heart flutter with happiness.

The week had been extremely busy for Apollo and Percy, but they always had time for each other and they both decided to not have the traditional Bachelor or Bachelorette parties, Apollo decided he had partied enough in four thousand years, for Percy it just isn't her style to party so they just invited over their friends separately to spend their last night of freedom with days at the spa and hunting trip, but Hermes tried being funny so he brought of some strippers, who in truth disgusted Apollo, not because of being unattractive, just he didn't feel any attraction towards any woman besides Percy and Percy was the same, so flashed them away, leaving a few shocked gods, who started laughing at him, "I never thought I would see the day Apollo a fellow man-whore looking at strippers in disgust" Hermes said laughing his eyes off, "last night as a free man and you just sent the entertainment away" frowned Adonis , Apollo just shook his head, and they continued to joke around for the night, non of the other gods would ever admit, but the had been the most fun they had in millennia, which they noted was sad.

The morning of the wedding

The venue for the wedding was the garden of Hesperides which had a snowflake decoration. The alter was adorned with snowdrops and the pathway to the alter had a beautiful white carpet that complimented the whole setting, the decorations were kept very simple to appeal to the taste of the bride who was a very modest person at heart and didn't like to go over the top.

Percy woke up feeling very happy that today she will be officially Apollo's one and only. When Percy was busy smiling to herself she did not notice that both Thalia and Zoë had entered the room, with smiles nearly as broad as Percy's etched on their faces. "Morning Mrs Apollo" Thalia said with a smirk, which caused Percy to laugh and Percy just said looking at Zoë "You're next" Zoë just blushed, leaving Thalia with a confused look on his face. "I'm leaving the hunt" said Thalia with a shy smile, "Why?" asked Zoë, Thalia shifted uncomfortably and said "Honestly I don't hate men and being a teen for an eternity has lost its charm" Percy went over and hugged Thalia and said I could use a lieutenant of the earth, but we will talk later about it, which Thalia agreed and the three girl continued talking until Sally and Amphitrite burst in and said "Percy, you are going to take a bath" and dragged her into the bathroom.

After two hours being bathed by her mothers, she finally came out looking stunning even in a towel, which was an indication of what she will look like in her dress. They tried to work on her face before they discovered that nothing can be done to it to make her more beautiful, so they did her hair which was like silk, full and luscious, which made them all sigh with envy. They decided on a romantic messy curly updo. After getting her hair done it was now time to put on the dress, which was easier said than done, but they managed it and she looked truly breathtaking and than her father came in and when he saw his little girl there were tears in his eye and told her she looked beautiful and gave beautiful light blue diamond earrings which he said belonged to his mother Rhea. When they heard the humming of the music, they knew it was time, so Poseidon took her hand and led her off.

Apollo was wearing classic black tux that had been trimmed and fitted to him, the tux looked amazing on his frame. His wavy golden locks and sun kissed skin made him look amazing, with the wide smile and eager eyes painted on the already beautiful face of his and after what seemed a lifetime he saw her in all her glory and his eyes widened and scanned her entire body, she looked beautiful beyond what words could express and he heard the whole wedding party look on stunned and in awe of her, he just looked on at her not noticing the people who were now stirring at her, until they were both standing side by side.

"Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to join, these two souls in marriage" said Chronos, with a smile on his face. Chronos continued with ceremony until time for the vows. "I Phoebus Apollo, humbly take you Persephone Allura as my wife and partner. I promise to love you, cry with you, and hold you when you are cold, stand with you when ill, in times of joy and in times of great sorrow. I promise you, my heart and soul, from now and for all ages" Percy had tears in her eyes when he made his vows and then it was her turn. "I Persephone Allura, give you Phoebus Apollo, my heart and soul, I promise to love you, to cherish you, hold you, to weep when you weep, to join you in joy and in suffering, I promise to stand with you for all your days, I solemnly give you my happiness and my love, forever and always" Percy said with tears silently cascading down her eyes, showing only pure joy. After the vows were said , Chronos said, turning to Apollo "Do you Phoebus Apollo take Persephone Allura as your wedded wife?", "I do" said Apollo. "Do you Persephone Allura, take Phoebus Apollo as you wedded husband?"; "I do" said Percy. "With the granted upon me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride" said Chronos, and Apollo pulled her into a wonderful, sweet kiss. After the kiss Apollo was engulfed by a blinding light for a second, and Ananke Stood up and said "All hail, Phoebus Apollo king of the Primordials, lord of the heavens" and everyone except Percy bowed for a second and then Eros the wedding director led everyone into the reception area was aligned with morning dew cascading from the ceiling that glistened in the light. The wedding reception was simple and tasteful, even the throwing of the garter which Apollo removed with his teeth and everyone who knew of Zoë and Triton's relationship laughed when the mean man hater that is Zoë nightshade caught the bouquet of flowers. When the wedding was over Apollo and Percy went back to their Palace and enjoyed the night together as husband and wife.

Apollo POV

"Morning love" I said looking at my beautiful wife and I heard her giggle under the covers and then she came on top of me and gave me a kiss, it made me smile and gave her a kiss of my own, but then it ended when she off me and I let out a disappointed sigh and she said she was going to take a shower which I offered to join and she quickly agreed, I had no intention of showering, but I didn't tell her that, so I followed her into the bathroom and we had a nice long shower. After the two hour shower we walked out feeling euphoric. "How doesn't it feel to be married to yours truly?" I asked with a smirk and that got me a kiss and she said "I love being able to call you mine and mine alone" this made me smile and I suddenly couldn't wait to see our first child be born, but sadly that was months away and I didn't even want to imagine what Percy must be feeling right now, she must be even more anxious than I am. "Perce, where need to leave for our honeymoon, we are a bit late as is" I told her and she snapped her fingers and her bags appeared in front of us along with some of my bags. "Where are we going?" she asked looking at her bags, "where we are going is a secret", "Oh, come on Delian, you know I hate surprises" she whined, I went over to her and scooped her up, then carried her to the waiting car down stairs. When we got the car she smiled and I kissed her hand before I started driving my sun chariot car to take us to Venice, since I heard she had always wanted to go there, but was always unable to because of time and duty was always calling. It took only a few minutes for us to arrive and I could see the smile on Percy's face when she saw the city of Venice.

I obscured the vision of the mortals so that they did not see me land the sun chariot at the airport and I flashed out of the Airport and into the house I bought centuries ago and I kissed he then helped her unpack. When we were done unpacking Percy said she was hungry, so I took the liberty to take her to getting some lunch, which took two hours because she was admiring the architecture of the city. When we got to the restaurant, Percy was starving and the waiters were stunned senseless when they saw my wife, they jaws where nearly at the floor, I could see what they were planning, but whenever they tried to flirt with her she just ignored them and said "Well that was annoying" which made me laugh, "Only you would think having guys drooling over you is annoying" she just laughed, while the men in the restaurant started to glare intently at me. After we had our lunch we flashed ourselves back to the house. We spent the next two weeks exploring Venice and Percy trying to clean the water, which was overly polluted and then our honeymoon was over, but I didn't care because she was coming home with me.

(Five months later)

3rd POV

It has been a wonderful five months for both Percy and her husband Apollo, bar the fact the during the last two months he has had to wait hand and foot on Percy, because she couldn't do some of the thing alone. Percy was in her bedroom when she suddenly felt the wet sensation of liquid, which she instantly knew was her water breaking and she yelled out for her husband who was playing some video games with Aether and Hermes, until he heard Percy shouting his name and when he got there he saw Percy heaving of breath and he knew that the baby was coming. Apollo even though he was the Primordial of medicine was panicking more than Percy and Percy seeing her husband's distress suggested that he go and call Artemis now, she ordered and he called for iris to call Artemis and when he got hold of her, he said "It's time" and she flashed over to where they both were and told Apollo to get her some towels and when he was done getting them he went over to Percy and grabbed her hand and she squeezed the life out of his and Artemis noted that she was fully dilated and prep her to give birth and thirty agonizing minutes later Percy gave birth to twins, a boy and girl. "Welcome to the world my beautiful children" Percy said with a tearful smile.
