Astraea managed to slip away from the loud party going on to a quieter section. It was still a clear sight of everyone at the party but not many people could see her if they were looking. Amanda was smiling while writing in her notebook with her mom and Annabeth. Percy was talking with another god near a fountain. Tyson, her cyclops brother, already introduced himself by shrinking down and giving her a bone crushing hug. Thankfully she saw it coming and warned him that her bones are weaker than most so to cut down the strength so that her bones would not break. But besides that, he was nice to hang out with. Astraea was startled out her thoughts when she smelt the sea getting closer.

"Hello father." she heard a deep chuckle and then out of the corner of her eye she saw Poseidon sit down next to her.

"How did you know it was me Astraea?"

"You smell like the ocean. What do you want?" Astraea looked over at him. Poseidon continued to stare straight ahead at the laughing groups.

"I was wondering if you had any questions. Astraea, I had… somewhat of an idea as to where you were. And I know that you should at least have some questions, right?" Astraea swallowed thickly. It was a subject that she was hesitant to talk about. But she could tell that the subject was important not to push off.

"Da, um yes I do. Did you or my real mom pay or gave me to the school?" *Did you actually want me or was I a mistake that should have never happen?*

Astraea saw the look of complete shock come over her father's face.

"NO!" He didn't yell instead just filled it with emotion. "No. We never did Astraea. What happened when you were born was that one of the things you call erasers stole you right out of your mother's arms." As if sensing the real reason that Astraea asked he continued "Your mother was so happy when she found out that she was pregnant with you. And when she told me that you were going to be a girl…. I was ecstatic. You are my first demigod daughter in a very long time." Astraea smiled brightly as she felt her father's words destroy the last of the shadows in her heart.

"What is name my mother's?"

"Her name is Pathea Jones, she is an FBI agent living just five blocks away from here. Here," Poseidon gave her a slip of paper with an address on it. "That is her address. You should go see her after this." Astraea nodded.

"This is the last two questions I have, when is my birthday and how old am I?" He chuckled and said,

"You were born on December 27th, 1998. You are 13 turning 14." Astraea smiled and got up.

"Vă mulțumesc (Thank you) Father. I am going to try to see her now." Poseidon grabbed her wrist but let go as soon as he did.

"Wait, I have something else for you?"

"What more can you give me? You have given me back my name and given me a chance to find my real mother as well as my birthday and age. So really what more can you give me? I already have everything."

"Well here then," Poseidon handed her a tan trench coat that stitches looked golden and a first glance but then it looked silver. "Percy mentioned that you lost your coat that you wore to hide your wings. I hope that this would be a good replacement. I took some liberties and changed it. It is enchanted to change with a thought. It also shouldn't tear unless it is cut with a godly weapon." Astraea looked at her father with a shocked expression.

"This… this …. I nu știu ce să spun că este prea perfect ... eu ... eu … (don't know what to say it is too perfect... I... I…)... Vă mulțumesc tatăl(Thank you father)"

"You are most welcome my big girl."
