October 31st One Year Later
Camp Half-Blood was decorated for Halloween and many of the older demi-gods and their families were there. All the Gods were there dressed up as themselves.
"That's not a costume," Thalia told Zeus.
"Oh be quiet," he replied.
"How's baby John doing?" Hera asked.
"Great, Johnny open up, show Grandma your little chompers," Thalia said and John giggled exposing his two front teeth.
"He has teeth already?" Zeus said surprised.
"Yeah, he's nearly eleven months old. He has almost all his teeth and is crawling around now," Luke said walking up to them.
"Nikki just turned a year old and hasn't started walking yet," Hera said.
"It varies sometimes it takes thirteen months," Annabeth said walking up to the group Nikki on her hip.
"Can we go now?" Nico asked.
"You just want to eat candy and scare little kids," Katie said pushing the stroller over, their daughter Hailey Grace, dressed as a bumblebee, giggling.
Clarisse and Chris walked up to the group. "Are we leaving?" she asked putting the pacifier in Stacy's mouth.
"Ryan here, needs to get some candy," Chris said, putting him into the two-seat stroller.
"You mean you want candy," Percy said, taking Nikki from Annabeth.
"Like you aren't going to use Nikki to get candy," Athena said walking up with the rest of the Olympians.
"Candy, I could use some of that," Hades said.
"Let's leave then," Katie said.
"I'll tell Chiron…oh crap maybe we aren't leaving yet," Apollo said backing up.
"Why?" Demeter asked.
"The Oracle of Delphi six o'clock," Artemis said.
"Why is Rachel here?" Thalia groaned.
"I swear if she comes onto you I won't hesitate to bitch slap her," Annabeth said.
"Language Annabeth," Hermes warned.
"We have the right to leave if we want to," Persephone said.
"Twenty minutes, before we walk out and leave…if not sooner," Poseidon said.
"Here she comes," Ares said.
"Kill me now," Annabeth muttered. Rachel walked up to the group.
"Percy, long time no see," Rachel said.
"Rachel, good to see you. How's college in New Jersey going?" Percy asked.
"Great, cute kids," she replied.
"Thank you, I went through nine months of hell and an hour of searing pain to bring our DAUGHTER into this world," Annabeth said.
"Two kids, twice the hell, and a half hour of searing pain," Clarisse said.
"One kids, a lot more hell, and two hours of searing pain," Thalia said.
"Gods, family life has ruined you guys, I'm going to hang out with the hunters," Rachel said and walked away.
"Easier than I thought," Luke said.
Two hours later the group was sitting around Percy and Annabeth's living room. The kids were asleep in the playpen and the adults were exchanging candy.
"This was fun," Chris said.
"So when are you guys moving into the new neighborhood?" Demeter asked.
"Tomorrow we move into the house, but all our main stuff is over there already, so we're all staying here for the night," Luke said.
"Cool, so since you are moving into a private neighborhood, we have a surprise for you guys," Zeus said.
"What are you talking about?" Thalia asked.
"Well, since your backyards back up to woods and you aren't getting fences, we bought something for the kids," Hera said handing an envelope to each couple.
"Since you all don't have play sets yet we bought a special one," Athena said.
"You bought them Crooked Houses! Those are so expensive," Katie exclaimed.
"We bought one for each kid," Hermes said.
"They are installing them tomorrow afternoon," Poseidon said.
"What are crooked houses?" Luke asked.
"The Gosselins got them for their kids remember," Thalia said.
"Oh those are crooked houses," Nico replied.
The rest of the night was spent watching scary movies and remembering the memories of the house.
