P.O.V Ariel
-What happened then grandma?!- a little merboy with blond hair and blue eyes asked me as he swam around me.
-The Fates came- I answered with a small smile- They named Jason the God of Greeks and Heroes and Octavian the God of Romans and Armies. The same way that they did when they visit you in the day of your birth, Luke.
-Father told me about it!- Luke exclaimed with a wide and happy smile- He said that they told mom that I was the God of Demigods and Redemption!- I couldn't help but smile at his excitement-They also said that I was the first God that is a reincarnation. Grandma whose reincarnation am I?
-That is a story for another time- I answered quickly knowing that it wasn't my story to tell- Come on Luke it is time for you to get ready- I hurried him- Or we will be late for the birthday party.
-But you didn't finish telling me the story!- he complained but still changed his two green tails into a pair of legs and put his clothes on- What happened after The Fates came?
-Everyone mourned Luke- I answered sadly- I wasn't there but by what Poseidon told me there wasn't a single God that didn't cry by the notice of their Queen's death.
-You and grandpa love each other a lot!
-Yes, we do- I sighed sadly looking at the gardens of the palace from the window- But we didn't use to... your grandfather was heartbroken Luke. He couldn't stand the pain of his brothers when Nicolo died, he came to me and asked for my help to forget.
-Then you fell in love and got married!- Luke interrupted me, his eyes shining in content. "He is so similar to his mother that surprises me. Percy on the other hand says that he is more similar to Triton, but I can't see that"- Grandpa told me that story, he said that you are his sunshine. Always there to save him from the darkness that makes him commit bad decisions.
-He did?- I blushed and made a mental note to hit Poseidon for speaking like that to a five years old boy- Come one Luke, that we are late- he took my hand and I transported us to Olympus, where everyone was making last time preparations for the party.
-Luke!- three voices called for my grandson. Suddenly Piper, Frank and Leo appeared in front of us. I still remember when they were born, I had never seen Ares so afraid in his life. And Zeus... it was as if he was seeing Nico die all over again.
-Ares if you continue like that you'll make a hole on the floor- Hermes commented.
-Get a man pregnant and live through the experience!- the God of War yelled.
-I did- silence fell on the room at Zeus comment.
-Brother- I heard my boyfriend murmur next to me. I hugged Poseidon knowing how much he hated seeing his baby brother so sad.
Before anyone could open his mouths to speak again the third baby cry of the night resonated through the infirmary- Hephaestus... he...- I would have laughed at how speechless was Ares, but I was afraid myself of what might happen now.
Artemis opened the operating room's door with a baby in her arms- Congratulation Ares you are a father.
-Is he alive?!- Ares demanded to know panicking.
-He is- the Moon Goddess answered calming everyone nerves.
Out of the blue three old ladies appeared- Are they...
-Yes, they are the Fates- Poseidon answered my question, before I made it.
We all waited in anticipation to know what kind of Gods are they- Piper daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, Goddess of the Soul's Beauty- the first one announced.
-Leo son of Aphrodite and Hephaestus, God of Innovations- the middle one continued.
And the last one finished- Frank son of Hephaestus and Ares, God of lieders.
-Grandma!- Luke's voice brought me back from my memories- Can I go to play with my friends?
-Of course you can- a deep voice answered from behind me, I smiled and leaned on the firm chest- Just don't get too far away, promise?
-I promise grandpa!- Luke said before running towards the gardens with his friends behind him.
-What got you spacing so much babe?- questioned me Poseidon.
-The past dear husband of mine- I answered with a sad smile- I still can't believe that this was the saddest day in Olympus's history.
-It also was this century's worst day- Poseidon added- Zeus never made a bigger storm than that.
-I was quite angry and sad that day- the voice of the God's King startled me.
-Darling don't scare our sister in law!
-Dad got scold by mom!- Jason and Reyna snickered.
-Don't worry about it Nicolo- I told the Queen of Olympus- How are you little children?- I kneeled on the floor smiling at the four kids.
-We are fine, thank you my lady- answered Octavian politely, he had always been the most rigid.
-Why don't you go to play with your friends?- Nico told his children.
-Yes, mom!- and as always they did as their mother told them.
P.O.V Poseidon
-I still can't believe that Nico was able to survive the birth of two pairs of twins- I told my brother.
-I still can't believe I was able to survive two pregnancies- I laughed at Zeus comment but then smiled sadly when I remembered his face the moment Hylla and Reyna were born- But I wouldn't change my little boy and girls for nothing.
-I know brother- my gaze softened when my gaze landed on him.
- Five years and three- thought out loud Zeus- I still can't believe it.
-Time passes fast- said my wife- They will be adolescents before you notice it.
-I don't want that to happen!- pouted Percy, who just entered the conversation- Do you know how many mermaids I have to tell Triton to frighten because they are after my son's tails?!- we all laughed but my son didn't see it funny at all- I am serious!
-Let's just enjoy the party today and worry of tomorrow when it comes- I kissed Ariel for her wise words, "Now I am truly happy".
