A/n- sorry guys. I haven't been updating because I'm going through a lot of family issues right now. Thanks for the reviews; they are making it a little bit easier. So I have decided to print my chapters and send them to my cousin that is in basic to make him happy. Also, this chapter is dedicated to Tom who had the same idea as I did. Please enjoy this chapter =)

Nico's POV

Percy got to school, looking slightly tired. I didn't even ask how his night was because it was evident that Annabeth had spent the night.

"Hey," he muttered as he sat down next to me in English.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"Ready to leave," he smiled.

"Meet me during lunch. I'll go get Annabeth during 3rd and we can go have fun," I replied, looking at the board.

"I seriously hate English," he groaned, as we both tried to read the words on the board.

"Me too. Why can't they just make it easier by making an Ancient Greek class? I think then Mythology wouldn't be the only class I'm passing," I muttered.

"So what do you have planned for later?" he glanced over at me.

"Maybe we can go to Italy for the rest of the day. We both know Annabeth would love to see the monuments," I nodded. He smiled and nodded at me. I looked at the board trying to figure out the words on the board. I gave up and started to look out the window, planning the rest of my afternoon.

Annabeth's POV

I was walking to my fourth period when Nico appeared out of the shadow. "Nico?" I hissed. "What are you doing here?"

"Coming to break you out of here," he smiled and took my hand before I could protest. I felt the familiar feeling of him shadow travelling. We appeared in front of Percy. "Hey, you ready?"

"Yes," Percy replied.

"What is going on?" I demanded.

"We're going to have fun," Percy smiled. I raised my eyebrow. "Okay, we're going to Italy for the day," he looked down sheepishly. I smiled and Nico held his hands out to us. I took his right hand and Percy took his left. I felt the same tug from before and we appeared in the middle Italy.

"What's going on here," Percy asked, taking it in. There were bodies all over the street and sidewalk. I saw a tank in the distant, and armed men were running through the streets with weapons in their hands. A few houses were on fire and others were burnt to the ground.

"Uh," Nico stuttered. "Welcome to Rome."

"This isn't Rome," I stated. "This is a war zone." Nico looked around, and I took cover behind a barrel. "We need to get to camp."

"Hands?" Nico demanded.

We quickly placed our hands in his and we left. We appeared at the bottom of Half-blood Hill. "You couldn't shadow travel us inside the borders. No, that would be too easy," I muttered as we walked up the Hill.

Once we reached the top, I glanced around to see that it looked the same. Two kids I didn't even know appeared in front of us. "Can we help you?" the boy asked, staring at me.

"Take us to Chiron, please," Nico demanded.

"Everyone is in the dinner pavilion," the girl stated. We nodded to her and headed to the pavilion.

"Chiron," I said loudly. Every head turned towards us, and their mouths gapped open.

"Well, Annabeth, Percy, Nico, what are you doing in this time period," Chiron asked as he neared us.

"Nico had technical difficulties with his shadow travelling," Percy smirked. "We made it to the right city, just wrong time period."

"Sir, what's going on here?" I cut in.

"Where, dear, camp? Or the world?" Chiron raised his eyebrow.

"The world," I replied.

"World War III," Nico shrugged. When we stared at him, he said, "Thalia and I had a talk about World War III and its significance. How our children would be the ones fighting it."

"Whose children," Chiron glanced at Nico.

"Percy and Annabeth's, and-," Nico blushed.

"Who else?" Chiron persisted.

Nico's POV

I didn't want to tell them I've been having dreams of my kids. That would be a little disturbing. I knew I had to though. "Mine and Thalia's."

They stared at me. No, don't stare. "Thalia is a maiden forever," Annabeth said.

"I know she is. Just meet Lily and Carson. You know right away that they are our children. Lily looks more like Thalia but Carson has the mixed eyes," I replied.

"Oh my gods," Annabeth replied. "That's what Lily meant when she told Mason 'You could say that our parents are Hades and Zeus but that wouldn't be correct'."

"We should meet them," Chiron clapped his hands. "They should be getting together for archery soon. I guess they can miss one archery lesson." We walked to the wing of cabins to find only seven kids were there. "You may talk to them." He walked away muttering to himself.

We walked up to the group and noticed that there were strange similiaries between all of them. They turned to face us. "Hey," I said. I'm not social, so this is hard.

"What do you want," Lily muttered coldly.

"To talk," Annabeth said.

"Who are you?" Percy asked the other three children standing behind Lily, Carson, Mason, and Alyssia.

Annabeth's POV

"Daughter of Poseidon," the girl answered. She looks like Percy with her black hair and sea green eyes. "Peyton."

"Son of Zeus," a boy replied. He had Thalia's blue eyes and black hair. "Blake."

"Daughter of Hades," the last girl replied. She looked like Nico with his eyes, skin, and hair. "Rayleigh."

"Now the question is who are you?" Blake asked.

"Annabeth," I replied.

"Percy," he added.

"Nico," Nico shrugged.

"Well, I guess we'll leave y'all," Peyton said. She grabbed Rayleigh and Blake and trotted off.

"Go away," Mason demanded.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I dreamed about seeing you for four years, and it's not how I pictured it," Mason replied coldly. "Come on Aly," he put his hand on her shoulder.

They whispered softly before turning around. "Mason Lee Jackson turn around now," I demanded.

"Oh you're trying to be a mother now?" Mason laughed.

"I'm not trying to be anything. I just want to talk to you," I replied.

"Both of you haven't been in our lives for four years. I learned how to take care of two year old by myself while you both ran off to fight a war that you didn't need to. You left us with your father but it wasn't like being with our parents," Mason smiled coldly. "So as far as I'm concerned we have no parents."

"Mason doesn't mean that," Alyssia said. "He's just upset."

"Look, I don't know how or why we leave you, but I'm sorry we do," I replied. "But right now we need to talk to all of you."

Lily took Carson's hand and walked him over to Mason and Alyssia. I glanced at Nico who answered, "He's blind."

A/n- hope you enjoyed. But I have a lot of makeup work to do so I'll update when I can. Sorry.
