Sorry it took so long! I've had major writer's block.
He's Gone Away…
Chapter 8
Piper Knows Now
Aphrodite appeared out of nowhere when Thalia said, "Let's get Aphrodite!"
Thalia's POV
I can't believe I just said that!
Annabeth's POV
"Lady Aphrodite, it's good to see you," I stammered. "Uhh, mind my asking, but why are you here?"
"To help you!" she said with the biggest grin on her face!
"Why?"
"Because I want to!" Aphrodite giggled. "Let's go to Greece!"
Wait! What? Suddenly they weren't in New York, but in Athens, Greece. Wow! We're in Greece!
"Mom!" shouted Piper in confusion and happiness.
"Hello, Piper."
"Where are we? Why am I here? I was talking to Jason!"
"We are in Greece. You are here to help Thalia, Annabeth and I shop. I'm sorry for taking you away from Jason. I promise I will make it up to you."
"Mom, you do know Thalia and Annabeth don't like shopping, don't you?"
"Oh, they won't mind, right?"
"Uhh… Ya!" "We would love to!"
"Good! Now, let's go shopping!" shouted Aphrodite! "Babies are fun to shop for. They can't say no and don't really care!"
Piper looked at Annabeth and Thalia and said "Am I wrong or did my mom just say babies?"
"Annabeth, you have this one!" Thalia responded sarcastically, while patting her on the back.
"Thanks, real supportive! Yes, Pipes, she did say babies."
"Well, why?"
"Umm… well, because… ummm… I'm… Come here, I'll whisper it to you."
Piper leaned in, "I'm going to have a baby, Percy's baby."
"Oh my gods! That is wonderful!" Piper shouted to the whole world!
"Well, I haven't told anyone besides Athena, Poseidon and now you. Can you keep it a secret."
"Of course! But you know you have to tell Chiron."
"Ya."
"Good!"
