Author's Note: Hello my friends! This is my newest story Son of the Moon. I have read some stories where Percy was Artemis's son and thought they were pretty good so I decided to start one. I mentioned this in my Assassins of Chaos story that I might start this so this first chapter will be a preview until enough people in either this story or my Assassins of Chaos story say they want me to continue this.

Also I decide this will not be a romance story unless everyone is saying: 'have Percy get a girlfriend!' The reason he will not is because he is Artemis's son and she does not do the whole love thing. Yes she does have a son, but the reason why and how will be explained later on.

Also check out my Assassins of Chaos story which is an epic action packed Pertemis and Thalico story.

Without further ado here is the first chapter and I hope you enjoy my story.

Chapter 1: Rape (I just told you why she has a son.)

Artemis POV

I was lying on my bed in my temple crying my eyes out. Me Artemis the proud goddess of virgins and maidens just got sexual assaulted by a man. A god to be exact. Even though he poisoned me before so I could do nothing I still feel awful.

Me are total monsters and have no respect for women. All they want is sex and to be complete savages. All of the men I have met that I thought would be good men and not some sex craved nut job has proven to be even worse than the other. The only reason they acted that way around me is probably because they wanted to bed me and my hunters. Wait my hunters! Oh gods I hope they don't hate me or get taken away from me because of this! I cried even harder at the thought of that happening. Probably the only man that would ever be acceptable would be a son of mine which will never happen unless… I was thinking this when my powers as the goddess of childbirth kicked in and felt something in my stomach.

This can't be happening I can't be pregnant! I thought to myself.

After another hour of crying I finally got up because the poison wore off. I knew I could not get an abortion because of me being a goddess and the baby probably being a god or goddess so I would have to give him or her to someone once he or she was born.

I sighed happy that godly pregnancies only lasted six weeks and did not show. Also all of that weird stuff that happens when mortals get pregnant don't happen so that is another plus. I could probably get away with this because I am the goddess of childbirth so it would probably be near painless.

I nodded my head and decided that I would have to go with this plan and would wait until the last possible moment to revel this or it is revealed somehow.

I flashed myself to my tent in the hunt's campsite and walked out and over to my Lieutenant Zoe's tent. I was going to tell her that the hunt will be put on hold for two months and hope she would not ask any questions.

I unzipped her door and walked in calling out, "Zoe!" I looked around and saw her start to stir in her bed.

"Yes milady?" She asked turning to face me.

"The hunt is to be put on hold for two months. You can stay here, but I need to be on Olympus." I told her.

"Ok, but milady if I may why is it put on hold are we not doing well enough?" She asked me with a hint of sadness in her voice and on her face.

"No, no, no! Zoe all of you are doing great. The reason is I have things to take care of and all of you need a break." I told her then added, "Good night Zoe."

"Good night milady." She said to me as I zipped up her tent.

For the next six weeks I looked through files of people I thought could raise a child for me very well. My needs is that they know the Greek gods exist, can see through the mist, a kind woman that will teach him or her to teach women right, and will let them hunt with real weapons I will give the woman to give my child when the time is right. Also I have decided to put a spell on the child so he or she would grow at human speed, but stop once they reach age twenty one so they don't have any mortal rules over them. The spell also will disguise the ichor as regular mortal blood, but the child will still be immortal.

After four and a half weeks of searching I found one woman who I thought would work perfectly. Her name is Sally Jackson. She lives in New York and is close to Olympus in case I want to come down and see my child or needs to send him there in case of emergencies.

I flashed myself down to her apartment door and changed how I look so I don't look like a goddess, but a regular person. I also decided that she would be the only one to know who I am and who the child is. I lifted my hand and knocked on the door.

I heard some shuffling around in the apartment and someone open the door. "Hello?" The woman as Sally said opening the door.

"Hi, are you Sally Jackson?" I asked her switching my feet because I am a little nervous about this.

"Yes I am and who are you?" She asked me with a look of panic on her face.

I laughed at her face then said, "No need to worry I am not going to hurt you in any way. I am Artemis, goddess of the hunt, and moon. (I know there are more, but I did not feel like listing them all.) I would like to ask you a favor."

Sally looked at me in shock before saying, "Of course, come in! Sorry milady and do I need to bow or anything?"

"No please do not bow or call me milady or Lady Artemis, just call me Artemis." I told her walking in.

"Sorry for not having the place nicer, but I was not expecting anyone. Also what were you going to ask me?" She asked.

I shifted my feet feeling a bit awkward before saying, "I think we need to sit down for this."

Sally nodded and led me into her living room. I took a seat on a sofa and Sally asked me, "Would you like me to get you something La_ I mean Artemis. Sorry it is weird for me to talk to a god or goddess the same way as I would talk to a friend."

"No I am fine. I am sorry for acting a bit strange if I have I just do not like my current position at all right now. It has nothing to do with you either. Well actually it might." I told her.

"What is it if it has to do with me I want to know if I did something wrong or what?" She asked me a little scared.

"I hate talking about this even though I have not told anyone this, but I was raped by another god after he poisoned me so I could not move or do anything. As a result of that I was made pregnant by him. I have not told anyone because I would by ridiculed for that and would then kill the child. Also don't ask his name because it would draw his attention which I do not need and it kills me to even think about this. I am here to ask you to take care of my child because I cannot." I told her looking down at the floor in shame.

"Don't put yourself down all of this was out of your control. Also why would you choose me? I have done nothing great in my life to even be acknowledged by the gods." She asked completely bewildered.

"I should have been able to stop that. As for the reasons why I asked you are because I have done research on all possible candidates and found you to be the most qualified." I told her and explained why, "The reasons are: You know the Greek gods exist, can see through the Mist, are a very caring and modest person, I trust that you will allow my child to have weapons because they will need it, and I have seen what your life was like and saw it was not a good one. That is why I trust you to raise the child like a good parent instead of a bad one."

"Well thank you for that, but what do I tell my friends and other people how I ended up with a child?" She asked me.

"Adoption otherwise I would have to use the Mist which I am already using a lot on the child." I told her. "You see the reason why I have to use the Mist is because the child is not normal. Since he had a godly father and mother he or she will also be a god or goddess. I am using the Mist so it looks like he has red mortal blood instead of golden immortal blood. Also I put a spell on him or her so that he or she grows at the same rate as a mortal. The spell will also stop him or her from growing at the age of twenty one so he or she will not be bound by any mortal laws."

"Ok that makes sense. I will accept your offer then. I only have one question that will affect how I raise the child." She said.

"Go on. I want to make this as easy for you as possible." I told her with a smile knowing this part of the problem is out of the way.

"Should I tell the child about the Greek gods and goddess is and the legends about them or no?" She asked me and I thought that is a good question.

"Yes, but do not tell him he or she is part of the messed up family tree of gods and demigods. Try to hide who the child truly is as long as possible." I told her seriously hoping she would understand my reasoning.

"I understand and you will be welcome to come and see the child whenever you like." She told me.

"Thank you so much Sally. If you ever need anything just ask because I will always keep an ear open for things from you." I told her standing up.

"Oh that is nice of you. Also I will not have the child call me mom because I don't want to take that away from you." She said and smiled at me making me smile happy that I might be able to still have the position as his or her mom.

"Thank you Sally that means a lot. Oh, before I forget here." I handed her a credit card, "This will be able to cover any expenses you may have with a little extra. Consider this payment or returning a favor."

"That is not necessary, but thank you that will help a lot." She thanked me.

We started walking towards the door and stopped in front of it. "Also the child might inherit a few of my traits like being protective over girls who may cause some, erm problems some minor and possibly but not likely major. An example of the major is hospitalizing some boys." I told her making her laugh.

"Don't worry about that I expected this from the child." She said smiling. "I hope you can take care of the police for me and the adoption part."

I waved my hand using the Mist so all of the adoption agencies have records of the child and Sally adopting him or her. "Done, and thank you I owe you a lot." I told her and gave her a huge in thanks.

"No problem Artemis. I will tell no one the true parent unless you tell me. Now, good bye and good luck with giving birth." She said letting me go from the hug.

"Good bye Sally and you are forgetting I am the goddess of childbirth." I told her waving and stepping out of the now open door.

Once I was outside I flashed myself to my palace with a smile on my face. That was until I saw who was waiting for me. Once I was in my palace there were two goddesses in front of me. The first was Athena and the other was Hestia.

"What is the matter Artemis? Why were you at a mortal's house?" Athena asked me. "Hestia told me something I cannot believe except if you tell me."

I looked at Hestia and saw she knew what it was. "Please swear on the River Styx that you will not tell anyone about this." I begged.

"We swear on the River Styx that we will not tell anyone what Artemis has to tell us." They swore at the same time.

"We I guess I should start from the beginning. Four and a half weeks ago on the way back from a council meeting I was attacked. I wanted to walk and get some fresh air, but I did not expect it to change my life. A god whose name I will not speak in fear of something you will understand after this story. He raped me after poisoning me so I could not move. After he was done with me he teleported me back to my palace. For a few hours I cried at what happened until I felt something. I am pregnant." I told them as Athena got a shocked look on her face.

Hestia turned to her and put out a hand. Athena scowled and pulled out some golden drachmas and put it in her hand before turning back to me. "After that I looked far and wide for someone who can take care of the child. For the entire time after that I looked until I found a mortal who will take care of the child. Her name is Sally Jackson. There you have and please don't hate me for this." I begged them.

"It's not your fault Artemis. We maidens have to stick together. We do not believe that you broke your oath because it is different in this case. You were raped not in love. Also I found out because being the goddess of family I can tell when one is starting." Hestia told me.

"The reason why we are here is because we wish to bless the child so he or she will be smarter, know what is wrong from right, control fire, and will always be able to find food at the hearth." Athena told me.

"Also we want to help you through this and not just sit by and watch." Hestia added in.

"Thank you. I still feel ashamed of what happened and wish none of this did happen." I told them looking down.

"That may be, but I speak from experience that once you have a child you will love that child. I may not have had a child the normal way, but it is all the same in the end." Athena told me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Now we need to get ready for this and hope for the best." Hestia said and we set to work.

Over the next week and a half the three of us set out looking for things that will help my child. We brain stormed names after finding out it was a boy and decided on Perseus. He was better than most heroes and we wanted him to have a Greek name. We looked into my powers that he will inherit and found out he will have: Slight control of water, more powerful under the moon, good at archery, stealthy, great hunter, and will probably not have many boys that are his friends. We also bought some stuff for Sally such as: a crib, clothes (a lot were silver, orange, or gray), asked Hephaestus for weapons the cover story was weapons for either a hunter or one of Athena's children that liked wolves or the moon, endless supply of diapers, and a house for her.. The weapons we will give to Sally for him which were all silver are: a bow with a quiver of endless arrows that transformed into a wolf necklace, a pen that will turn into a sword, a ring with mini moons going around it that will turn into a hunting knife, and a jacket that had four throwing knife sheathes on the shoulders. The jacket also had light armor, a hood that cast a shadow over you face and of course it was silver. The jacket also will grow with him and hide his weapons unless he wants them. The jacket how it is will be temporary until he decides what he wants it to look like and it will change into that, but no matter what it will be silver. The house is a two story house that has ten acres of land. In back is a huge forest that expands miles on after their property. I enchanted the forest so it will always have monsters to hunt and all trees are climbable. Some of them are harder than others, but you can jump from tree to tree easily. Perseus or Percy's room has an unbreakable glass roof so he can always see the moon. It also has two closets. One was for his regular clothes, and the other is for weapons and armor. The walls show a night time scene with a full moon, an owl in a tree, and a camp fire that is also a working fire place. They put in a dresser, a rocking chair, the crib, a lamp on a table next to a mini library with children's books in it, and a fan.

They moved all of Sally's furniture and belongings into the new house along with any other personal belongings she had while she was a work. The three goddesses were waiting in Sally's empty apartment when she got there.

"What the. Where is all of my stuff?" She asked walking in.

"In your new house." Hestia told her.

"Who are you two? I know Artemis, but not you two. And what did you say about house? I don't own one." She told us completely confused.

"Sorry we forgot to introduce ourselves. I am Athena and this is Hestia. As for your stuff we moved it to the house we bought for you." Athena told Sally gesturing to Hestia when she introduced her.

"Oh sorry I did not recognize you, but why did you buy me a house?" Sally asked confused.

"We thought it was more appropriate for my child to grow up in. Also we have no trouble paying for it because we each have about a hundred billion dollars in our accountants. By the way we found out that it is a boy and named him Perseus or Percy." I told her.

"Oh, and I love the name." Sally told us smiling.

"As for why Athena and I are here we wish to bless you. We will give you small powers, but very helpful. I am making this new family have a stronger bond and you can cook even tastier meals because men love their food." Hestia told Sally.

"As for me I am giving you the power to speak and understand Greek. Percy will be a god so he will naturally speak Greek almost instantly after being born. Also I am giving you more knowledge so you can help teach Percy easier. We still want him to go to school, but figured you being smarter will help." Athena told her.

Sally looked shocked the Athena and Hestia both snapped their fingers and muttered their blessing in Ancient Greek. When they were done Sally glowed gray then orange then both colors faded.

"Thank you." She told them.

"Now, to see your new house." I said then teleported us to the house.

A few days after it was exactly six weeks since I became pregnant. I was lying in my bed with Athena and Hestia next to me to help with the birth. (I am skipping this whole part because I don't know what it would be like.)

Athena handed me a baby bundled up in a blue blanket. "Percy." I said cuddling the baby. I started to cry in happiness as he looked up at me with his big silver eyes and I saw the start of his auburn colored hair.

I snuggled him closer to me not wanting to let go until the other two goddesses asked if they could hold him.

I gave him to them as they looked at him and rocked him a bit commenting on how cut he looked. I was very happy at that moment until Athena said, "You know you will have to give him to Sally tomorrow at the latest."

I looked down at the baby now sleeping in my arms. I nodded sadly and said, "That doesn't mean I can't have him for a little bit you know."

They nodded. For the rest of the day we held Percy and put him into a silver shirt with a fire on the front. We gave him black jeans an owl hat we got him because it is winter now. The three of us flashed ourselves down to Sally's house with Perseus in my arms.

The three of us appeared in her living room where she was waiting for us. "Hello Sally." I said to her as she got up instantly and walked over to me. She looked at Percy with a huge smile on her face at seeing him.

"He is an adorable baby Artemis, and even if you did not want this congratulations." She said to me and I smiled in response. "May I hold him?" Sally asked.

"Of course because you will have to raise him for the next few years until he finds out who he is." I said to her handing her Percy. When he was in her arms her smile grew even more.

"Thank you for this opportunity. I cannot say how happy and honored I am doing this for you." Sally said to me snuggling Percy.

"It is no problem at all Sally." I told her with a smile. I heard thunder boom in the distance indicating an Olympian Council Meeting.

"We have to go Artemis." Athena told me as I nodded sadly.

"I will stop by soon to see how he is and remember if you need any help just pray to us and we will help in any way we can. Now bye!" I said as the three of us flashed out and into the Throne Room for the meeting.
