Piper's POV
"It's a boy?" Atlas asked. He sounded so happy; I couldn't tell him my plans for the baby.
"Yeah, it's a boy." I replied looking down. "But there's something I have to tell you as well."
"And what's that?"
"I'm –"
"Whoa! Whoa!" Jason pushed himself out of the crowd. "You're pregnant?"
"Yeah," I replied hoping that it won't make him yell at me.
"And you got raped by a titan?"
"No, I'm the god of wisdom."
"I'm standing right here!" Athena yelled throwing her hands in the air. "No one likes me anymore."
"And you're going to let him take care of your child?" Jason asked making everyone shut up.
"Yes, why do you have a problem with that?"
"Who doesn't?"
Atlas put his hand up.
"You don't count!"
"Why can't I count?"
"Because I wasn't asking you!"
"Jason, get over the fact that I want my child to have a mother and a father!"
There was a couple of seconds with shocked faces along with the horrible silence.
"We can be a family, Piper," Jason pleaded. "We can be one, we don't need him."
"What do you mean by we?"
"The camp, Chiron maybe even Dionysus."
"I can teach it not to drink once I start again!" Dionysus called. "And I need a slave." The satyrs looked depressed afterwards.
"You see, he's got a family."
"Why do you care so much for him? He's not yours."
"Because I care about you!"
"Can we please go now?" Atlas whined. Percy laughed.
"I want it to have a mother and a father, not a mother and a father and other people who teaches him to fight off monsters."
"But that's why we're here, Piper. Please,"
"And another reason why we're here is because we're fucking demi-gods and we do the gods dirty work so that they can be praised but what they haven't done." I know that I was being harsh, but I've also felt like this for a long time. Way before the baby. "Ever thought of that? Huh? Now, the gods want us to fight off giants and it's very rare for them to help, so they're going to help and then say 'Oh no, I've lost my chariot, go find it!'"
I turned to the gods. They all looked so guilty; they'll probably think that I'll regret it afterwards. I think it's sad how they think that.
"Just say the words, and I'll get you out of here." Atlas whispered into my ear. "Just say the words, and we can be free of the gods."
Jason looked like he was about to cry.
"Piper please, I love you."
"Atlas, get me out of here."
