I'll send you the story link. The story is called The Runaway Student. Anyways, this is a chapter that most of you will enjoy (I hope). If you did like this, leave a review and if you review with the saying "Happy Birthday Nicole!" in it, I will give you a spoiler about the sequel to this story. Anyways, sit back and enjoy the show!

Disclaimer: UGH, why do I need this? You guys know that I'm not a middle-aged white man who writes the best series in the world, I'm only a twelve year old Filipino fangirl. So yeah.

Chapter 6: Percy's POV

I wake up to a little shaking. I see little Nicole standing next to my side of the bed.

"Daddy, I had a nightmare. Can I sleep with you?"

"What was the nightmare about, Nicole?"

"A monster attacked me and two other girls. I think we were about twelve."

"Okay, Nicole, come on me and mommy's bed. You can sleep right here."

She squished in between Annabeth and me. Annabeth woke up and saw Nicole between us.

Annabeth mouthed, "Nightmare?"

"Yeah."

Annabeth started singing a lullaby. Nicole started feeling sleepy. It wasn't a long time until the cabin was asleep.

At about 2:30 in the afternoon that same day

"Come on, Nicole. Daddy's going to play. What do you want to do? I guess we can play hide and seek, tag, whate-"

Annabeth came through the cabin door. She was carrying a plastic bag filled with party stuff for Nicole's birthday party today.

"Mommy, you're back!"

"Yes Nicole, Mommy was buying something for someone's birthday."

"Whose birthday is it, Mommy?"

"Someone very special, Nicole, that person is a tiny miracle."

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. I went to get the door and Frank, Hazel, and Chloe came through the doorway. Chloe is their little girl. Chloe and Nicole started to play Medusa and Perseus, with fake weapons. Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, and I start talking about Nicole's birthday party.

"Is everything good for the party tonight, Hazel?"

"Yes, Percy, we bought the cake. It's vanilla with chocolate swirls, just like you told me."

"Great, so when should the party be?"

"I guess 5:00 till 8:30, Annabeth."

"That will work, Frank. Let's go."

"Great, see you later Percy and Annabeth."

"Bye guys, see you later!"

They leave and we get ready for Nicole's 4th birthday. This is going to be awesome!

5:00 that day

"Daddy, Daddy, look at this! I can do a cartwheel!"

She does a cartwheel and falls down. Nicole and I start laughing. It was the cutest thing I ever seen.

"Nice job, Nicole! Come on let's get dressed for a birthday party."

"Whose birthday is it, Daddy?"

"It's a tiny miracle's, Nicole."

"Okay!"

Nicole and I get dressed for Nicole's birthday party. She wears an aqua t-shirt that says, "Ride the Waves." It happens to be her favorite shirt. She also wears Bermuda shorts and running shoes. I know this will be the day to remember.

"Let's go, Nicole!"

She nods and we go out the door to go to the dining pavilion. She skips along the sidewalk trying not to touch the lines. I love her so very much. When we get to the mess hall, we are greeted with a barrage of cheers. Nicole's eyes widen and she claps.

"Happy Birthday, Nicole!" everybody screams.

I pick her up over my shoulders and she laughs. I know this will be the best day ever. The Aphrodite cabin is giving Nicole a makeover. Then, she goes to play with Thalia, Maya, Chloe, Katrina, and Clara. I can't believe my little girl is growing up. I don't want this day to stop.

After the party

"Daddy, Mommy, can we go to the lake?" Nicole asks.

"Sure, sweetie, let's just drop some stuff off in the cabin." Annabeth replies.

"Okay"

We drop the stuff from Nicole's birthday party off in my cabin. Then we head for the lake. When we get there, Nicole is the first one to jump into the water. I go in too. Then, I show her something. I concentrate my power and then a huge air pocket surrounds us.

"How did you do that daddy?"

"Magic, Nicole, your daddy is a magician."

"Yay! My daddy is a magician."

"That's right."

We get out of the water. She tells Annabeth who is reading on the sand, that I'm a magician. She laughs and we go to the Campfire Sing-along. Along the way, Nicole bumps into a 14 year old girl who has straight blonde hair and electric blue eyes.

"Oops, sorry lady" Nicole says.

"It's okay, baby. What's your name?"

"My name is Nicole Jackson. What's yours?"

"My name is Brooklyn Rivera."

"Okay"

Brooklyn and Nicole starts playing until Annabeth steps in.

"Brooklyn, who's your godly parent?"

"I don't know. I just got here. My best friend, Sabrina, brought me here. She said that it would be a great home for both of us. She was claimed by Hermes earlier."

"Okay then, Brooklyn, come with us. We're going to the Campfire Sing-along."

"Thank you"

We all walk along to go to the Amphitheater. Brooklyn and Annabeth start talking about how Brooklyn got to Camp Half-Blood. It involves harpies apparently. When we get to the Amphitheater, we take our seats. When the Apollo cabin starts singing, everyone starts too. Then, something strange happened. A sign appears over Brooklyn's head. Everyone gasps. Nicole runs over to her and hugs her. The singing stops and everyone kneels for her. How could this happen?

Chiron stands up and says, "Hail Brooklyn Rivera, daughter of Poseidon."

Oh! This chapter is awesome! Brooklyn will be featured in the next few chapters. Next chapter will be when Nicole is 5. Thank you guys for all of your support during the hiatus. I have decided what age Nicole should be when the story ends. You'll have to wait and see. Also, one more thing. I have officially decided to put my story, The War between Camps, up for adoption. I don't feel that connection I did when I first starting writing during after-school care. If anybody would like it, just pm me. As long as you don't make it into some lemon story. You can rename the characters, I don't care. I guess this is all I have to say! Bye!

Nicole
