November 21st
6:15 A.M.
Under any normal circumstances the Olympians would be all asleep, but right now they all were in the throne room half asleep.
"You are positive it's today?" Hera asked.
"Yes, now shut up…I have to go pee," Apollo said leaving the throne room.
"So we are just going to sit here all day and wait for the phone to ring?" Demeter asked.
"We are, three months from now, you'll probably be doing the same thing," Zeus said.
"I already know when Katie's going to have her baby. Apollo saw that in a vision last week and I've called her," Demeter replied sticking her tongue out at Zeus. The phone rang loudly stirring everyone from their reverie and they all launched themselves at it to hit the speakerphone button.
"Hello?" everyone minus Apollo said.
"Hey, yeah, Thalia just got into her room so just teleport into there. They won't let Clarisse or I in because of the kids," Annabeth said.
"Percy and Chris just went in there to say hi. So we're waiting for them to come out before we can go in," Clarisse said taking the phone. A muffled voice screamed: 'Are you calling my father?'
"On the phone now," Annabeth yelled back.
"Okay room number?" Hermes asked.
"Room 628," Clarisse said.
"On our way," Artemis said. Apollo slid into the room his pants around his ankles.
"I heard my baby sister is having her baby, what are we waiting for?" Apollo asked.
"For you to pull up your pants so we don't teleport into the room with you in your duckie boxers," Hades replied.
"Oh right, my bad," Apollo said pulling up his sweat pants, the group teleported into the room.
"Don't you find it funny how they never invite us to go?" Dionysus asked Hestia.
"Yeah, but whatever. Want to go to Starbucks?" Hestia asked.
"Okay, why not," he replied.
The group of twelve arrived in the room. "What took you so long?" Thalia asked.
"We had to wait for Apollo to pull up his pants to cover his duckie boxers," Poseidon said.
"Like yours are any better they are covered in dolphins," Apollo replied.
"Out," Luke said. Everyone except Zeus and Hera left, Hermes gave Luke a quick hug.
"I'm so proud of you. You decided to save a soul form the Underworld," Zeus said kissing Thalia's forehead.
"You're going to be fine, Malcolm is used to us by now," Hera said.
"Oh look my favorite people in the world…AGAIN for the third month in a row on the same day as the past two months," Malcolm said walking into the room.
"Last time to, we all decided the next kids we get are from the foster system," Luke said.
"Hey do you guys mind helping the other gods watch the kids for like two minutes?" Percy asked.
"No problem," Hera said and she and Zeus left the room.
"How much pain will I be in?" Thalia asked the two girls.
"It's not that bad," Annabeth said.
"Once you get over the searing pain," Clarisse added.
"But we promise you one thing, we go to the gym starting next week," Annabeth said.
"Christmas card remember," Clarisse said.
"The goal being?" Thalia asked.
"At least a size four," the two girls said.
"As much as I'm enjoying this love fest. Get out unless you're going to be here for the birth of your godson," Malcolm said. The four bid good luck to Thalia and walked to the door, which was slammed closed behind them.
"A little touchy today wasn't he?" Chris asked.
"I think he's happy to be finally rid of us," Percy said sitting down next to Poseidon who was holding a two-month-old Nikki.
"Oh my Gods, these were adorable I just had to buy four of them," Aphrodite said rushing into the waiting area.
"Where the hell have you been?" Ares asked.
"Gift shop," she replied. "A bear for each of them!"
"Oh not another one. Remember the I'm sorry bear she got me?" Annabeth asked and they all nodded. "When we put it in Nikki's playpen she just sits and stares at it."
"I don't know about this one it's really cute!" Aphrodite said handing it to Percy. He showed it to Nikki, who giggled and clapped her hands happily.
"You got owned," Apollo said.
"Oh shut up," Artemis said, holding a bear in front of Stacy who giggled.
"On second thought, genius idea," Clarisse said snatching the other bear from Aphrodite. She held in front of Ryan, who gurgled and drooled on the bear once Clarisse handed it to him.
"Here you go soon-to-be Gramps. Give it to your grandson," Aphrodite said.
"She's just asking for it isn't she," Zeus said glaring at her.
"It's her nature, but it saved us a lot of money," Annabeth shrugged. Athena and Poseidon were now playing hide the bear behind your back with Nikki.
"Is it just hereditary that this take a long time?" Zeus asked an hour later.
"How am I supposed to know, how long did it take when Thalia was born?" Athena asked.
"Two hours," he replied.
"Let's make a bet. I will buy everyone Starbucks if it takes two hours," Demeter said.
"I'll buy the doughnuts," Hermes added.
"I'll take that bet," everyone said.
"Oh by the way, I like sprinkles on my doughnuts," Apollo said five minutes.
"You knew all along?" Demeter groaned.
"Yeah, make the run now. We have another fifty minutes left," he replied.
"I don't want Starbucks," Clarisse said.
"Neither do I. I want one of those raspberry chocolate chip milkshakes," Annabeth said.
"Do they even make those?" Hermes asked.
"Yeah, the shop is on the corner of Union and Grant," Percy said. Forty minutes later, Demeter and Hermes returned.
"What took so long?" Annabeth asked.
"Stupid people at Dunkin Doughnuts, they know like barely any English at the one on Union and Grant," Demeter said handing out the Starbucks.
"Then the guy working the Starbucks corner started hitting on Demeter. So we all know that it always leads to trouble so I ordered and made her go over to that ice cream shop to get your precious milkshakes," Hermes said handing Annabeth and Clarisse their milkshakes.
"Percy I just remembered we have to stop at Walmart this morning, we're all out of Redi-Whip," Annabeth said.
"I just bought Redi-Whip two days ago!" Percy said.
"Yeah, when I went downstairs last night at nine, I found Persephone taking it out of the fridge," Annabeth said.
"That's where ours went," Clarisse replied. Fifteen minutes of silence passed.
"I know it's not on topic or anything, but I had this whole dream going on the other night and I remember Thalia mentioning the foster system in the dream. So I saw your future kids from the foster system," Apollo said.
"Okay and the point of bringing this up now is what?" Luke asked walking out of Thalia's room.
"Oh I just looked up the pictures of the kids; the boy that Percy and Annabeth get is Steven; Luke, your future daughter, Temperance; Clarisse and Chris your future daughter Elizabeth. Oh and Hades, I checked on Hannah; she is still fourteen and very happy in the Lotus Hotel," Apollo said handing out the pictures.
"Okay, awkward. Thalia, wants to see Annabeth and Clarisse," Luke said taking the picture and sitting down. The two girls got up and walked into the room.
"Hey, I need help figuring out a name…I can't think of a name to fit his face," Thalia said softly.
"Awww…I'm Auntie Annabeth now," Annabeth squealed and Clarisse smiled at Thalia. The three girls looked at each other.
"John," Clarisse and Annabeth said together.
"John Matthew Castellan," Thalia said.
"A good, simple, clean name," Clarisse said.
"Lord, knows he'll need it being born into this family," Annabeth said.
"Yeah and a lot of famous people were named John. Like John Adams," Thalia said.
"John Quincy Adams," Clarisse said.
"John Hancock," Annabeth added.
"John McCain."
"Johnny Appleseed."
"John Lennon."
The three looked at one other. "Johnny Depp," they giggled out.
"Oh and then there's John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," Luke, Chris, and Percy said coming into the room. The three girls started softly singing the song.
"No, not the song it stays in your head for the rest of the day!" Percy said covering his ears.
"Can't forget that one," Luke said.
"What did you say, I can't hear you over their obnoxious singing," Chris said.
"Did you pick out a name?" Hera asked leaning on the doorframe.
"Hopefully not Jingleheimer Schmidt," Zeus said.
"John Matthew Castellan," Thalia said.
"Good name, he's going to be popular," Apollo said.
"Moving on and away from him," Artemis said walking into the room.
"Who said all of you got to stay?" Thalia asked.
"Oh right, we've just been kicked out," Ares said.
"Here, you go Gramps, have a nice day," Aphrodite said handing the bear to Luke and walking away with Ares.
"Come on Percy I told your Mom and Paul, we'd bring Nikki by this morning, hopefully they have coffee," Annabeth said picking up the carrier in the waiting room.
"You coming by for breakfast?" Percy asked Athena and Poseidon.
"As long as Nico doesn't show up asking for foofystacks, I'm cool with it," Poseidon said.
"Where did that word even come from?" Athena asked as they walked into the elevator.
"Don't know. Don't care. We're meeting Nico and Katie for lunch at eleven," Demeter said walking into the elevator with them.
"Oh put on a smile, you're getting a granddaughter, be happy," Hades said.
"I was hoping under different circumstances but still I'm happy," Demeter snapped.
"Who's all going to lunch?" Athena asked.
"Demeter, Persephone, Hades, and I," Hermes said.
"Joy," Poseidon muttered.
