Chapter One

Annabeth's POV

I was sitting down on my throne. As the new goddess of wisdom and battle strategies.

The gods had broken their promises and forgot to claim their children. So they had to choose a new person to take their place before they were sucked into the pits of Tartarus.

I was chosen by Athena. Percy was chosen by Poseidon. Thalia was chosen by Artemis. And so on.

But Zeus did not have a child he could use. Or so everyone thought. When everyone asked him what he was going to do, he gave them the most surprising answer of all. He told them he had another daughter! Her name was Zara. She had long black hair and violet eyes. So they hunted her down and she was now the goddess of the sky.

So we were the new Olympians.

We don't know why they didn't use some other minor gods and goddesses. Most of them were mad at us but it wasn't our fault.

They wanted it this way and so it was.

And Chiron, well he went back to teaching and we had to have Hecate cast a spell on all of the humans. They thought that we had been the Olympian gods forever.

But the problem was we still had to have children with the humans. We had the urge like the old Olympians. Even thought we had we had been Olympians for a while I hadn't had any children with humans. Everyone else had. Percy had the most!

It had seemed like we had been the Olympians forever, we had been them for two years now.

I was still rebuilding Olympus. But now, we had to rebuild camp. All the cabins of the Olympians were sucked into Tartarus for whatever reason, so I would have to make the new cabins for us. And I just found out because I was so busy on Olympus that I didn't hear.

So I began thinking. I had to make a cabin for Percy (Son of Poseidon), Thalia (Daughter of Zeus, chosen by Artemis), Zara (Daughter of Zeus), Pelix (Son of Dionysus), Connor (Son of Hermes), Clarisse (Daughter of Ares) Marilyn (Daughter of Aphrodite) Nico (Son of Hades), Jake (Son of Hephaestus), Will (Son of Apollo), Katie (Daughter of Demeter), Kaya (Daughter of Hera) and of course me.

I had sketched out the designs for all the cabins.

For the Percy Cabin I had decided to build it by the lake. It had seaweed curtains, tables made of shells, sea urchins as decorations, and fish hanging on the walls. The cabin had one whole wall that was made of glass to look to the lake. The rest of the cabin was made of wood that was painted blue-green.

For the Thalia Cabin, there were bows and arrows on the walls, pictures of past hunters, the moon painted on the ceiling with constellations surrounding it, and handprints of all the hunters or children of Thalia that had lived in this cabin or joined the hunters. There was an open area where the people could play with nature.

I was just starting to design the Zara Cabin when Percy came in. He tried to sneak up behind me but I surprised him.

"Boo!" I yelled.

He stumbled backwards and landed on Clarisse's throne. He jumped up quickly because if he had stayed there any longer, Clarisse would have found out. And it would not be good if she had.

"Ha-ha, very funny. Now don't do that again, what are you working on? Is that my cabin?" Percy said with an evil smile on his face. But I whipped them away before he could touch them.

I looked at him with s serious face and told him, "Now, now, I want it to be a surprise. Why don't you go swimming?"

Then I regretted saying that, "Oh I will and you're going too."

Then he grabbed me and zapped us away. We were in his underwater palace.

I could breathe underwater because when I married him, I got some of his powers.

We began swimming towards our bedroom; yes I do sleep underwater sometimes, when one of his workers stopped us.

"Sir," he began, "what do you want us to do to the game room?" Percy told him a bunch of stuff and then we started again. When we got there, I went down.

When I woke up the next morning, I knew what was about to happen. I was going to give birth to my first Godling child.

When I goddess is going to have a child, it is very simple. The morning after their fifth week they now what will happen and it does. They turn into their true form, but none of the males can look at them only the females, and fly up into the air. Then their child is in their arms.

Except since I was a child of Athena I gave birth to brain children.

I quickly scribbled a note and disappeared.

I signaled Thalia, Clarisse, Zara, Kaya, Marilyn, and Katie to meet me in my palace with my mind. When I got there, they were waiting. Marilyn, Katie, and Zara were looking at my designs for my baby's room. Thalia and Kaya were setting up all the things I needed. And Clarisse went to ask Will if my baby was going to be a boy or girl.

It is a very delicate process when a brain child is born. If one thing goes wrong the child will be scarred for life.

The child comes out of the forehead and goes into its mother's arm. Meanwhile, the mother is in the air in her true form. Only the mother's closest friend can help her. She takes the child out of her arms and goes and helps it. Then mother floats back down onto her bed and remains in her true form for one hour.

Clarisse came back when Marilyn, Zara, and Katie were looking at the designs for the girl's room. She nodded her head and held up two fingers. Then she whispered a word I never thought I would hear. I was to have twin girls!

Then I could feel myself changing. I closed my eyes and continued.

At first I felt nothing, then a cold burning sensation. I wanted to scream help, but I didn't. Then I felt my two girls in my arms. I didn't open my eyes because I knew that it would ruin the process.

I quickly yelled, "Thalia" and she took my children. Then I felt myself falling asleep. But when I woke up I was not prepared for the scene that I saw.

The old Olympian gods were there. All of them, my mother was too. I looked over to Thalia and saw her holding my children.

She gave them over to me.

Then Percy walked over and asked, "What are you going to name them my love?"

I told him with confidence in my voice, "Belle and Estelle."

He loved it!

Then the old Olympians had to leave because they Nico had only given them one hour out of Tartarus.

I decided to walk around New York awhile with Belle and Estelle.

Then I saw a man. A very handsome man with black hair and brown eyes. He saw me too.

He walked up and when he saw I didn't have a ring, Percy and I didn't want to wear one, he started up a conversation. Then he asked if I wanted to come over to his place. I said yes.

I told the man, whose name was Tom that I would take my daughters over to my friend's house. He gave me his address and I told him I would meet him there.

I zapped myself over to Zara's since she lived right in New York. I asked her to take care of Belle and Estelle and she said yes.

So then I zapped myself to his doorstep and Tom let me in. He had a nice place. Very neat, and we had a very nice time.

Then I had too many drinks and passed out on his couch. He did too.

When we woke up the next morning, we started up another conversation. Nut then I noticed the time.

It was 11:11!

I had to go. I told him and on that note, I left.

As soon as I walked out the door, I began wondering what it would be like if I had a child with him. But I dismissed the thought.

I zapped over to Zara's place to grab my girls. When I knocked on the door, she immediately answered.

She was furious at me! She asked where I had been and I told her.

I asked her not to tell Percy that I had been with a man because then he might get a little mad like I did the first time I found out that he had been with a mortal woman. She agreed.

I grabbed Belle and Estelle and traveled to Percy. But in the middle of the travel I felt the same feeling I had right before I had given birth to Belle and Estelle

So I traveled back to Zara and told the rest of the girls to come to us.

When Thalia asked me, "Is something wrong?" I gave her an answer I think she didn't want to hear.
