HEY GUYS! HERE WE ARE WITH THE LAST CHAPTER OF "THALICO", WITH MY BFF MARTINE. YEAH THIS TOOK WAYYYYY LONGER THAN I TOLD YOU IT WOULD, BUT EHH I LIKE THE RESULT.
MUSICFORLIFE (GUEST): I KNOW. I TOOK THE IDEA FROM THIS EPISODE! CHLOE IS JUST HIALRIOUS! AND THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEW!
WARNING/!\: ARTEMIS IS WAYYYY TOO OOC. SO BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE CRAZINESS OF THIS CHAPTER!
PREVIOUSLY ON THALICO:
"Sorry for this your honor, but I must object on this! Nico is innocent! He hadn't done anything like that! I enjoyed the kiss and it was my entire fault. Please, declare me guilty and spare him!"
"Miss Grace didn't enjoy the kiss your honor. She was literally frozen and wasn't responding at all. It was my entire fault. I thought she liked me and wanted to have a relationship with me, but I certainly was wrong. Please resume your earlier verdict you honor, because I confess that I started it all and it was my entire fault."
Their words were still ringing in her head, while she was thinking about some way to end his trial fairly. Then, finally having some coherent thoughts, Athena said seriously, trying to be sure they were really fools enough to play 'Spartacus' on her:
"I think we have got a little problem here. Who am I supposed to believe?"
"Your honor, please believe me! I confessed this earlier. It was my entire fault!" Nico said, with force and confidence. 'Without even a trace of doubt' Athena thought to herself.
"Miss Chase you have got to-" Thalia said trying to sound grave and serious, but was interrupted by Athena this time.
"Firstly, in court, and since I am the judge, you are supposed to call me 'Your Honor'. And secondly, I am not 'Miss Chase' dear Thalia."
Everyone stared at her in horror, wondering what creature would be talented enough to shape-shift into Athena and imitate her perfectly.
"It is Mrs. Jackson actually." She said with a bright smile towards Poseidon, who was sitting silent during the entire trial. He smiled back and mouthed 'I love you' to Athena.
She replied with a heart-melting smile and a tender look in her eyes. You can even hear some half-bloods 'Oohh'ing and 'Ahh'ing in the background and some others (*cough*Percy*cough*) were pretending to gag and faint.
Athena turned serious again and continued with a little hint of amusement in her voice.
"I think we have a verdict."
Everyone stared at her with excitement and anticipation, hoping it would be finally over. Artemis was eying her expectantly and Hestia was smiling at her, still thinking about her little moment with Poseidon. They were so cute! And Poseidon have been really protective of Athena since-
"I proudly and happily announce that-" Athena cut her thoughts off with her statement. They were finally going to know what Athena has decided to end this trial.
Athena was going to continue with her verdict, when she felt it. A kick. A really strong kick. In her stomach.
'Okay. That was one strong kick…' She thought, confused.
'Could it be...?! No, it's totally impossible!'
With Poseidon's help, she leaned on the desk, grunting in pain.
It can't be, it was…
"Athena, what's wrong?" asked Hestia with a concerned tone.
"Nothing! It's nothing! Nothing important! Don't worry! I'm fine!" She said in a hurry.
'I think so….'
Regaining some self-control, she straightened back and announced with a serious voice, then a little smile:
"I don't think this situation is worth a trial, actually"
"WHAT ARE YAH TALKIN' ABOU'?! ARE YA GOIN' CRAZAY SISTAH?! IT TOTS DOES! THIS FELLAH HERE KISSED THE OTHAH FELLAH THERE! ONE OF MAH HUNTEZZZZZ! AND IT TOTZ SUX! "
"I didn't know she could rap…" Someone whispered. It was, obviously, Percy….
"Artemis, I need you to calm-"
"DON' TELL MEY TO CALM DOOWNN SISTAHHHH! I'LL TELL MOMMMEEEHHHHHH WHEN WE GET BACK HAWWMMM"
"Artemis…. Hera is not your mother…"
"WHATEVAH! WELL, SHE'S THE ONE WHO MARRIED DADDEHHH!"
"Artemis…. Don't go all 'gangstah' on me. You know that I am capable of way more than you."
"OH YA SISTAH?! SHOW ME WHAT YOU GATT! CZ YOU DUNNO WHAT TO DO WITH THAT BIG FAT-"
"Don't you DARE to finish that sentence young lady!"
"I DO WUT I WAN' SISTAHH! DON' TELL MEH WUT TO DO!"
"NO YOU DON'T! NOT IN MY COURT, YOU LITTLE-"
"ATHENA! STOP IT!" Poseidon interrupted, trying to keep his wife a little sane.
"BUT- BUT SHE STARTED IT!"
"DID NOT" Artemis protested.
"DID TOO"
"DID NOT! AND I WILL TELL MOMEHHHHHHHHH!"
"HERA IS NOT YOUR MOMEHHHHH" Athena screamed and waved her hands angrily, hitting Hestia on the face accidently.
The entire courtroom went silent. For a moment, you could hear your own heartbeat.
Then, all the Hades broke loose.
Hestia suddenly changed in her 30 years old form, so she could be older then Athena.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!"
"I-I… I'm so sorry Hestia! I didn't mean to-"
"YES YOU MEANT IT! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!"
"But Hestia-"
"SHUT IT! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT" Hestia screamed, gripping Athena's shoulder and shaking her, while the said goddess screamed and begged Hestia to release her.
"PLEASE Aunt Hestia! STOP! IT WILL HURT THE BABY!"
Well, it seems that it is a habit now. Everyone re-went silent; all staring shocked at Athena, like "WUUUTTTT!?" Even Artemis. And it was even her who was the first to react, saying, and I quote:
"WUUUUUTTT DID YA SAY SISTAHHHHH?!"
"Me?! I didn't say anything! He he he he he…." Athena said, chuckling awkwardly and looking at her laptop pretending to search for something. And Hestia even released her when she heard what she said.
"LEAVE YAR COMPUTAH OUTTA THIS! IT'S BATWEEN YAH AND MEH SISTAHHHHH!"
"I don't know what you're talking about" Athena said with wide eyes, sweating slightly.
"YAH SAI' BABEHHHH"
"I said that?! I meant… Sausage! Yes you will hurt the sausage Hestia!" She was even more uncomfortable and awkward.
"What? But that doesn't make any sense…" Hestia said, regaining some self-control, "Athena, are you hiding something from us?"
"Umm… No! Yes! Maybe! I don't know anymore…" She said, giving up and letting herself fall in her chair, her head in her hands.
"Sweetheart… Please tell me what's wrong…" Poseidon said, speaking for the first time this trial started. He knelt before her and raised her chin so he could look in her eyes. "Please Athena… I'm worried about you…"
"I don't know Poseidon… I-"
"SHE SAID SHE'S FINE FELLAH! NAW LEAV' US ALAHHHNE SO WE CAN CONTINUE OUR TRIAHHHH'!" I think you already know who said that…
"ARTEMIS! SHUT UP AND LET ME TALK TO MY WIFE! UNDERSTOOD!?" Poseidon yelled, getting up and taking his trident (it appeared after he stood up to yell at Artemis) menacingly. "Continue what you were saying my love" He said, kneeling again.
"It has been while since I have had this weird sensation… I have a really bad headache, throw up at least once a day, and I have a really bad case of insomnia…" She continued, closing her eyes, a pained expression appeared on her face.
"Oh sweetie… Why didn't you tell me?"
"YA WHY DIDN' YAH TELL 'IM!?"
"I said, SHUT UP!" Poseidon yelled again, silencing Artemis. "I think we should go see Apollo sweetheart"
"Poseidon… I think we already know what my problem is" Athena said with a small voice but a big smile.
"What…? What do you mean? I-" Poseidon said, totally obvious about what his wife is talking about.
"SHE IS PREGNANT YOU STUPID IDIOT" Someone yelled from the crowd. Sorry, I can't tell you who it was, for I have sworn that I won't say a word about her… (*cough*Aphrodite*cough*)
"Oh… OHHHH….Wait…. WHAT?! AND YOU KNEW!? AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!?" Poseidon shouted, obviously angry at Athena.
"YA WHY DIDN' YAH TELL US!?" Artemis yelled too, supporting Poseidon.
"I didn't know till now! I thought it was just flu and it will just pass… It was the first time I felt a k-kick… I'm sorry… It is all my fault…." She said trying to hold back tears.
You see, if you don't want to immediately be at her feet, crying and telling her you're sorry about all the miserable things that you did in your life, you shouldn't see Athena crying. It was the most beautiful, yet sad and heartbreaking sight you could ever see. I even think her tears are magical. Like the siren's voice. Especially now we all know she is pregnant. So you can predict what Poseidon will do now…
"Oh no no no no! Don't cry! Shhh sweetie, don't cry! Please stop! I'm so sorry!" And he continued to rant and comfort her like this at least ten minutes.
Meanwhile….
Thalia and Nico were talking about the trial.
"Oh Thalia I'm so sorry it is my entire fault… You shouldn't be here now… I should be already being found guilty and punished…" Nico said looking at his feet. He was wearing really cool sneakers, you know.
"Hhh, don't worry Nico. Artemis is not sane enough to object or 'defend' me. Athena is having a major breakdown, so she won't even be able to talk and even less to give judgment. The only one normal enough is Hestia. And she is crying because her nose is hurting from the slap Athena gave her accidently. And I'm glad you tried to kiss me actually. I think I might have some feelings for you…" She said shyly.
"T-Thalia… Are you serious? Are you ACTUALLY serious!?"
"Yes… Yes, I am Nico… I love you…" She said with a little smile.
Nico was so happy with this revelation that he took Thalia and spun her in the air, while she was laughing and yelling at him "NICO! STOP IT!" at the same time.
"You just made me the happiest man on earth!" He said laughing and putting her down then kissing her passionately. "WHAT THE FU- (Language! ~ Hestia) FUDGE DID YA JUST DO?!" but they ignored her….
"I don't think you are the happiest man in the world…" She said, giggling and pointing at Athena and Poseidon.
Let's get back to our favorite couple…
Athena was still having a meltdown and Poseidon was still trying to shut her up so he could understand what in Hades was going on…..
After a lot of comforting words, she finally stopped, smiling at him
"I'm pregnant" she said with a grin.
"YA WE YALL KNAAW THAT NAWWWWW"
"Didn't I already tell you to SHUT UP?!" Poseidon yelled heading for his trident.
"POSEIDON! NO! I think you have more important issues to deal with..." Athena said, pointing at her stomach.
"YA FELLAH" Artemis said inching away from the trident pointing at her throat. "GO DEAL WITH YAR WIFE!"
"FINE, THIS IS NOT OVER YET ARTEMIS" He said setting the trident down.
"What are we going to do now?" Athena asked her husband, who looked more confused than ever (and that is saying A LOT).
"First, I'm going to do this." He said with a bright smile, scooping her in his arms and spinning her in the air then kissing her with all the passion and love he could manage. "Then, we are going to see Apollo for a complete diagnostic."
"Yes you're right." She said giggling. "Let me end this 'said' trial."
"Then, we will go to the restaurant." He said, bowing and acing all 'royal'. "Is that okay with you, Milady?"
"Of course my lord" She answered, nodding her head.
She regained her chair and noticed that all the people in the room were standing up and for the door in total chaos.
She was about to yell, but Poseidon beat her to it.
"HEY! HOW ABOUT YOU CLEAR THE WAY FOR THE LADY AND I"
So everyone did. While she was passing she saw a lot of different expressions.
Hestia was happy; Percy gave Poseidon a fist bump and Athena a confused look. Annabeth looked thrilled about having a little godly sibling.
As for Athena she gave everyone a smile except Percy who looked like he just woke up from a bad dream.
She approached him and said:
"Deal with it" and kept walking hand in hand with Poseidon.
And this, dear readers was how the last 'Maiden Council' finished.
"HEY! WHAT 'BOUT ME!?" Artemis yelled to me, Maria, the half-blood who is in charge of writing down every event in the trials of the 'Maiden Council' (which is now going on without Athena) with the help of Martine, my best friend.
"YOU FORGAT 'BOUT MEH"
"What are we gonna do with her?" Tina asked.
"We will see about that later…" I answered, saving my work, and closing my laptop.
