Chaseandrew: How was your first week of the semester?

Me: Boring, I had no classes as professors were busy making schedules and doing other professor stuff. It was more of a fun week. The week after holidays and before college. I-

Chaseandrew : (Threateningly) Good, good. Now tell me when are you bringing my beautiful Penelope coming in the past?

Me : (Jokingly) My cat dares to meow at me! Go, I won't bring her into the story. I will bring her soul, saying she didn't survive the Giants' war. Then what will you do?

Chaseandrew: Nooo! Please, don't kill my Penny.

Me: Don't worry. I am just joking! Your Penny will come with a big boom. Just read and review.

Chaseandrew: Awesome. (To the audience. ) You too, Readers. Read, review and hope this evil writer doesn't harm my Penny.

Chapter 10: Grover loses his pants.

Odyssey's pov

Honestly, I like this demigod Penelope. Not just because her name is the same as my lovely bride but also because she is quite brave for a girl. And kind-hearted too. Just like my beautiful Penelope.

Everyone is so overwhelmed by what we are told about the future. At the same time, there is also excitement in the air. Think about it, If we had these planes I would have reached my family within days. If only...

Back to the topic, Lady Hestia asked cough* Ordered *cough Lady Hera to read the next chapter. Not that I have much love for the Queen. I mean, she loves Penelope because of her tactics to save our marriage but here is the fact. If Lord Poseidon could hinder my quest back home just because he hates me, then why can't Lady Hera help Penny get rid of all those fools? Talk about priorities. I huffed. Bellerophon, who was sitting next to me, raised an eyebrow. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and turned towards Lady Hera to listen.

Chapter 3 Grover unexpectedly-

" Wait for a second, Hera, I just remembered something. Hephaestus, tell your son to send a message to future gods and send some Roman demigods too. I wish those demigods too should get a chance to read about the daughter of Poseidon." Lord Hephaestus glared at his father as his son gulped and looked at Andrew.

I felt something brewing between them.

Finally, Andrew spoke up," Lord Zeus, there are Roman demigods between us but they used their parent's Greek names to introduce themselves so as not to confuse you. " Lord Zeus nodded in understanding.

" You are not Roman, are you? " Lady Athena asked Andrew. He shook his head. Lady Athena looked relieved but didn't show it in case a problem might arise between her and her son. I can see that she loved the concept of having kids and still staying a virgin. She was already trying to please her son.

" Then, they should introduce themselves to their real parent." All the future demigods nodded. Jason came up first, " I am Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter." " So you had two kids in both forms with the same woman. HOW DARE YOU!" Lady Hera went off like an arrow left from my Bow. Lord Zeus cowered in fear which was the third time in a day. Wow, I am happy Penelope is not short-tempered and a whole lot more cultured than Lady Hera.

Hazel stepped forward to save Jason from further embarrassment." Moving on, You know my name so I am not repeating it. I am a daughter of Pluto. Lord Hades smiled at her while Lady Persephone remained neutral. Nico hid a smile.

" My self Frank Zhang, Son of Mars and descendent of Poseidon. " Frank told us. "So you are both a Roman as well as a Greek?" Frank nodded at Lady Athena. " Interesting!"

Reyna stepped forward. " You know my name. My mother is Lady Bellona. She is the Roman goddess of war similar to Lady Enyo. To avoid confusion, I had to use your name, Mylady." Reyna apologized to Lady Enyo. Lady Enyo waved away her apology.

" I was just here to see your capability as a daughter of a war goddess like me and your prowess in inflicting war not to read these boring books about some bratty demigod," she replied nonchalantly waving her hand. " Now that I know you are not my daughter, you saved me from this meeting. Now if you give permission, I wish to leave. The people of Athens are sacrificing in my honour. I wanted to attend it." Saying that she left the hall before anyone could say a thing." She is your daughter!" Lady Hera muttered to Lord Zeus who rubbed his forehead.

He cleared his throat, "let us begin." He waved at Lady Hera. She read

Chapter 3: Grover unexpectedly loses-

A shrill cry of a baby rang in the room. Everyone turned to the source to find Lord Poseidon trying to hush baby Percy down, who has quite a good vocal chord as she kept on crying. " Calm the baby, Poseidon!" Lady Hera half shouted at her brother who in return gave her an angry look.

Lady Sally took the baby from Lord Posiedon and tried to soothe her. She quietened. "Seems like Lady Hera woke up poor baby Percy with her voice," commented Bellerophone next to me.

Sitting up, in her mother's lap, Baby Percy looked around the room and for the first time, everyone saw her properly. Holy Styx, Penelope suits her. I thought looking at Percy's doe-like sea-green eyes and black hair. No doubt many men will fall for her beauty when she will grow up. And then, No doubt even the son of Athena couldn't resist her.

She gave a happy cry and the mood of the entire room suddenly changed. Most gods smiled at her and goddesses cooed. Even Artemis cooed which was another first. Today is the first of many things.

Andromeda went to sit next to Lady Sally and started playing with Percy. The most prominent change was with the future demigods. They looked like someone has switched a happy lamp on their heads. They were smiling at the laughing baby and looked more relaxed than ever.

" I think, I should continue." Lady Hera said annoyed at not being the centre of attention anymore.

"Chapter 3: GROVER UNEXPECTEDLY LOSES HIS PANTS

She looked around when no one interrupted her. " What? read it! We don't have forever." Lady Amphitrite replied, looking up from her place next to Lady Sally and Andromeda where she played with Percy. Lady Hera glared.

" What are pants?" "It is clothing of our time which is worn below the waist. Leo shows them a picture." "Sure." Leo showed a picture of a cloth worn below the waist which had two slits for the legs. It looked weird and uncomfortable." Isn't it uncomfortable? " " No in our time most people wear these pants. And it is quite comfortable."

Confession time: I ditched Grover as soon as we got to the bus terminal.

"What !" Lord Apollo shouted. "How could you do that Percy?" He grumbled giving Andrew the dramchas. The baby looked up at Lord Apollo when he said her name and gave him an innocent smile. He melted instantly.

I know, I know. It was rude. But Grover was freaking me out, looking at me like I was a dead woman, muttering "Why does this always happen?" and "Why does it always have to be sixth grade?"

"Good thing you are not my friend !" Leo sighed dramatically, " Otherwise I would have gone mad !" Future demigods are weird.

Whenever he got upset, Grover's bladder acted up, so I wasn't surprised when, as soon as we got off the bus, he made me promise to wait for him, then made a beeline for the restroom.

Andrew, Thalia and Nico tried to control their chuckle.

Instead of waiting, I got my suitcase, slipped outside, and caught the first taxi uptown.

"East One-hundred-and-fourth and First," I told the driver.

" She doesn't live there anymore," Andrew informed, lost in thought.

A word about my mother, before you meet her.

" Amazing!"

" Awesome!"

" Brilliant cook!"

" Umm, Nico that is not one word." Thalia pointed out. " So what? I looove Sally's cooking. " Lady Sally blushed at all the praises.

Her name is Sally Jackson and she's the best person in the world,

" Excellent answer!" Nico poked his tongue out at Thalia. " Very mature!" She shot back.

which just proves my theory that the best people have the rottenest luck.

Lord Poseidon narrowed his eyes.

Her own parents died in a plane crash when she was five,

" Zeus!" Lord Poseidon looked accusing at his brother.

and she was raised by an uncle who didn't care much about her. She wanted to be a novelist,

"What is a novelist?" "A person who writes novels and stories." Came the reply, unsurprisingly from Lady Sally.

so she spent high school working to save enough money for a college with a good creative-writing program. Then her uncle got cancer, and she had to quit school her senior year to take care of him. After he died, she was left with no money, no family, and no diploma.

"What is a diploma?" Andromeda asked. " A diploma is a sort of laurel which shows that you are qualified to do your job. A diploma in literature qualifies you to be a novelist. " Lady Sally answered.

The only good break she ever got was meeting my dad.

"Awwww." Lady Aphrodite squealed so loudly that I almost lost my hearing senses.

I don't have any memories of him, just this sort of warm glow, maybe the barest trace of his smile. My mom doesn't like to talk about him because it makes her sad. She has no pictures.

" How dare you break the rules and visit your daughter ?" Lord Zeus thundered. "At least he visited, Father. Nico used to live in the underworld? What did you do to show you care?" Thalia asked angrily. " Left me and my brother with a drunk! Gave away my baby brother just to please that dragon of yours! The truth is that they are better fathers than you !" She hurled accusations at her father one after the other. Lord Zeus looked genuinely guilty. But he refrained from speaking as Lady Hera looked ready to explode any time.

A few moments passed and Thalia settled down. Baby, sensing the tense atmosphere, got down from her mother's lap and crawled towards Thalia. She raised her hands for the older girl to pick her up. Thalia picked her up and set her in her lap. Percy smiled up at the daughter of Zeus and the tension vanished. It is surprising how well Percy controlled the emotional atmosphere of the room.

See, they weren't married. She told me he was rich and important, and their relationship was a secret. Then one day, he set sail across the Atlantic on some important journey, and he never came back.

Lost at sea, my mom told me. Not dead. Lost at sea.

" I already like you, Sally! A lie but not a lie. You are truly my type. If you were not already Lord Posiedon's lover." Lord Hermes added the last part when the aforementioned sent him a glare.

She worked odd jobs, took night classes to get her high school diploma, and raised me on her own. She never complained or got mad. Not even once. But I knew I wasn't an easy kid.

Lady Sally commented " For a mother, their kids are always the most lovable, easy or not. " " So true!" Lady Hestia, Lady Amphitrite and Andromeda nodded. Lord Triton turned red while baby Percy giggled.

Finally, she married Gabe Ugliano, who was nice the first thirty seconds we knew him, then showed his true colors as a world-class jerk. When I was young, I nicknamed him Smelly Gabe. I'm sorry, but it's the truth. The guy reeked like moldy garlic pizza wrapped in gym shorts. And you don't want to know how I know that smell.

" I don't even wish to know what they even are?" Lady Artemis shuddered.

A/N Small chapter isn't it. Don't worry. Next will be a long one. I promise

Ok, so I should clear some things. In the beginning, I added Lady Enyo because I thought of giving her and Reyna some bonding. But then I read about her and found out that she is not similar to Bellona in many ways. Bellona is strategic but Enyo is more destructive like Mars and Ares. So this was my way of ditching her. Hopefully, you won't miss her much.

Secondly, All the future demigods were happy to see Percy so carefree. Also, no baby Percy doesn't have any special powers which can control everyone's emotions. It is just a general baby effect. Babies are so innocent creatures that even their smiles can light up the whole universe. And they are also so cute!

Lastly happy next week! Bye.
