Alright people, my first PJO story and I notice NO fanfiction's for my favourite couple- Selena and Charles! So, since I enjoy completely changing the ending of every novel I read... here is how I would have liked to finish Percy Jackson and the Olympians! *Roxas Lit*

Hades' POV

I was in a disturbingly good mood, it was slightly terrifying and while being the God of death I saw some very wacky stuff. Yes, I said 'Wacky' Nico has been teaching me how to speak like a mortal. Not since Maria died have I even felt half as happy as today, my brother's accepted me with open arms for helping save Olympus, my son and I have begun a new and wonderful relationship, Persephone was only a bit mad when I said that Nico would be living with us for the year, and Demeter bought new cereal- no more Bran flakes for this god! Being the God of the underworld, I knew it could only go downhill from this point.

"Sir Hades! Um, Lord Hades!" I Ignored the woman's voice and continued with my book " Lord Hades, please... I have a request" This caught my attention, perhaps a Demi-god looking for an autograph. I turned around to see the Drakon-Slayer Clarisse, and the only reason I know it's her was because Ares didn't shut-up about her for the whole meeting. Some days I wanted to blast that big headed idiot down to the fields of punishment, yes, I said punishment.

"A request? Continue, Child" I raised my brow, urging the teenager to continue. She flipped her mouse-resembling brown hair back, then ruffling it at the very back. "A lost lover you wish to claim from the dead, Drakon slayer?"

"Not one, Lord Hades, but two" she looked me directly in the eye, I could see the girl was in pain. Usually this would have brought me great pleasure, but something about this was getting to me... not that I would ever admit it out loud, nothing bothered me; I was the lord of Darkness! Though with the Feeling's I was feeling right now, I should have been the Lord of adorable puppies! Or the God of a nasty conscious! Or worse yet, the Lord of FEELINGS!

"Two! Child, as you should know it is against the law to raise one member of the dead, let alone two!" I laughed my evil laugh, I had to supress a cough near the end. Note to self: Have Demeter make me a cough drop.

"I know, Lord Hades... I know it is a lot to ask for, but I slayed a Drakon! I`ll do anything more you ask of me!" the young girl looked so helpless, I hated that I suddenly had feelings... Curse Feelings, hopefully by the time I reached the underworld my feelings will have vanished at the sight of all the dead people...

"I shall consider your request, child. Before you suddenly become happy, since I am the lord of death I must ask my wonderfully unhappy brother to raise any member of the dead!" I said, making sure my voice went delightful and happy, but at the same time might crush her spirit. The Drakon slayer looked slightly crest-fallen, but quickly made her rebuttal.

"I know the secret password to enter Ares' home" Her black as night eyes bored into my soul, The eyes reminded me greatly of Nico's... Damn the boy was making me a softie! Note to self: Teach Nico my evil laugh. I knew the girl didn't lie to me, her eyes stared right into mine, she was determined to get what she wanted. Who could be so important to this girl for her to beg the lord of death to raise them?

"Hmm, and why would that be any use to me... Ares and I have several... Shall I say shared interests." The child thought this over in her mind, when she smirked. I had only seen the smirk several times, mostly by Ares when he got his way with the court. But never in a Demi-god, it was really weird! Yes, that WAS another Nico word, I am on a role!

"You can bribe Hephaestus with whatever you want in exchange for the password! I'll give it to you, I just want them back!" The Drakon slayer was losing her grip, I knew with my new-found weakness I wouldn't be able to say no.

"Alright, Child I will ask my Brother! But I need their names." I felt my insides churn, I might as well be the lord of Puppies! I'm such a weakling, perhaps Nico can give me some advice on how to cope with it.

"Selena Beaugard and Charles Beckendorf"

Later, Still Hades' POV...

I walked along the beautiful cobble stone pathway, Elysium was quite the beautiful place; especially for being in the underworld. I was looked for the two souls I was sent here for, both died for a noble cause. But, it was almost like they didn't want to be found.

several of the spirits were shocked that the lord of death walked in their midst, probably more shocked than Persephone is she saw me walking. 'You're too fat' this 'lose some weight' that, did she honestly not see how busy I was with work? This cancer virus was worse than when they had small pox! So many dead, too many dead people to keep up with!

I saw the two lovebirds over in the giant waterfall, yes, i said INSIDE the giant waterfall. Laughing, Kissing, and being very teenager-esque. Even being the god of death I hated when the demi-god's die young, I much prefer when their old a wrinkly. They almost look as old as Mother Rhea, and before we threw her into Tartarus she looked pretty damn old!

I walked up to the two couple, Mr. Charles was currently pinning young Miss Selena to the ground of the cave, trying to get a kiss. I cleared my through loudly, Selena turned her head just when Charles dove in for a kiss. His face just grazed a part of her cheek, before it hit the dirty floor.

"Lord Hades, what brings you to our lovely cave?" Miss Selena pushed Charles off of her body, he landed with a thud on the floor.

"I was sent here by a Clarisse La Rue. After she killed the Drakon, Clarisse came to me begging me to raise the both of you from the dead" Selena and Charles' eyes shone with happiness, I hated to break the news to them. "Unfortunately I could only persuade Zeus to let me raise one of you" The young Miss Selena's shoulders sagged; my conscious was eating away at me. It was probably just dying to get out and torment me after years of thinking I had my conscious removed.

"Selena of course" Charles said automatically, Selena turned to him.

"Not if I have anything to say about it! Charles, you can offer the world so much more! What can I do? What are my talents Charles?" Selena was on the brink of tears, something in the middle of my left chest began to feel warm and fuzzy.

"You are amazing at fashion! We live in new york, there are tons of opportunities for a fashion designer there... I don't want to go back to that world without you! I can't live without you, I'd rather be dead and watch you live until it was time for you to die naturally... Then you'd come back to me" Charles caressed her face gently, his large hand took up almost all of her tiny face.

"No. No Charlie! What about our condo in the city? Decorated in honour of our parents with an ancient Greek theme? And our kids? What about them, Charles JR, Xavier, and Amanda? You become a metal worker and eventually open your own shop? I can't have that with anyone else Charles I just can't love anybody else but you!" Tears steamed steadily down her cheeks, Charles then took her into a loving embrace. I blinked, then for some reason or another I noticed a small bump in Selena's abdomen... Holy crap, was she pregnant? (THREE Nico words in one day, I am so down with the kiddie lingo!)

"Um, Miss Selena" It felt very odd to use a demi-god's actual name, I usually used things like "child" or use their accomplishments to make them feel terrified that i knew everything about them, such as I did with 'The Drakon Slayer'. Selena whipped away her tears, her make-up was slightly smudged; but she stood and faced me.

"Is that a bump I see in your stomach?" For a moment I thought she was going to attack me for calling her fat, like the time I thought Persephone was pregnant all those millennia's ago. Until I realized she had just gained a bit of weight over the summer, her mother had fed her too much cereal. Charles looked alarmed staring down at the little bump in her stomach; he began trying to even out his breathing. Even though he was dead, I was worried his eyes would fall out of their sockets if he stared at her stomach any longer.

"Oh my" Selena breathed, she slowly reached down to pull up her tight pink shirt. After pulling it up she placed a hand on the tiny little bump, she started to cry again. I looked down, concentrating on Selena... Two heartbeats. She had two heartbeats coming from her body, at the ripe old age of 18 Selena Beaugard was pregnant.

"Now you have to go, you have to raise this baby in the world of the living Selena! Please, if not for me, than for our little baby!" Charles still looked alarmed, but overall he seemed happy. I wondered if that's what my face was like when Maria told me she was pregnant with Bianca, no. My face was more of a Holy-crap-Persephone-is-going-to-kill-me kind of look.

"Wait, I'm only aloud to raise one Demi-god... It's either Selena or the Baby" I hated my job. It was official, all these years after saying it wasn't that bad, i was kidding myself. I had to break this family a part, and I was becoming a total sap! Maybe Demeter would like me better is I WAS Tree sap...

"Well, Charlie JR of course, My son is going to live!" Selena smiled for the first time since I had arrived, Charles' eyes gleamed with happiness.

"Charles? How do you know it's a boy?" Charles asked, wrapping his two large arms around his girlfriend's slender body. Placing his hands right on the small bump that was Charles JR, I felt like smiling. I shook my head, I would NOT become tree sap! No matter how much time I spent with my son.

"I just... Know" She smiled up at him, they shared a passionate look before sharing an equally passion filled kiss. The kiss made me long for Maria's lips, how I missed my Maria...

"But... Who will look after the baby? Will Charles and I get to hold him? Or even play with him at all? You're not just going to drop him off at the local hospital are you? You can do this can't you?" I suddenly became worried, after knowing she was pregnant for five minutes Selena had already gone into over-protective-Mommy-mode.

"Miss Selena, calm down... I know just the person to raise your baby"

Clarisse's POV

He had done it! Hades, the most Evil, unloving, unforgiving person in all of the U.S.A. had done me a favour! Of course it had cost me the trust of my father, and maybe of all the council but the important thing was that Selena and Beckendorf would both be alive again! I would be a hero back at camp, Well, more than I was already!

With Criss at my side we entered the empire states building, right up to the front desk. Criss cracked a smile at my side, how we just loved to torment these people.

"Um... Excuse me, I'm looking for Aphrodite" I said, making my voice go girly and happy... It was sickening. Criss bit his hand to hold back his laughter, the man at the front desk just looked at me with his bored and tiered eyes.

"I think you're in the wrong place sweetheart... The Smithsonian is in Washington, that's where they have the Aphrodite exhibit." The man, Stewart, as I read on his name tag turned back to his Archie comic book.

"No, I read in some, like, article that Aphrodite lived all the way on the 600th floor!" I twisted some of my brown mousy hair in my nail bitten fingers, some of the tourists kept looking at me like I was insane. Wonder what they heard through the mist... Maybe they thought I was looking for a taco bell or something.

"No, Kid there is no 600th floor. It only goes up to 102 floors, so use the elevator, or get some exercise and take the stairs, just leave me alone!" He slouched back in his chair, picking up some old sandwich off his desk; I sure hoped it was from today.

"There is if you're the daughter of Ares and the son of Hermes" Stewart slowly lifted his head, smiling happily. He handed me the key card and we were on our way to Olympus!

We walked into the throne room to see almost every major god circled around something, probably Pandora's Jar. Or maybe Hephaestus managed to make an immortal treadmill, or something that could withstand the weight of a god.

"Clarisse! Criss! Enter the throne room of the gods!" I heard Zeus say, he hadn't even looked up from the little thing everybody was so wrapped up in. I looked up to my father who was glaring daggers at everyone, what would make my father mad and had every other god wrapped around its finger. Maybe a cool new weapon my father couldn't use or something.

"Lord Zeus, Lord Poseidon, Lord Hades, Father... Everybody else" I bowed my head to everyone else I had not greeted, Criss stood beside me looking uncomfortable. The whole council- including the less important gods- suddenly became super big and sat in their thrones; someone had taken the 'thing-y' with them. I felt just a tad bit angry, what the hell were they hiding from me?

"Clarisse La Rue, I understand you asked Lord Hades a favour several days back... Am I mistaken?" Zeus boomed, his authority made me stand up taller. I wouldn't let some crappy lightning bolt throwing dude toss me around.

"Yes, Lord Zeus you are correct... I did ask Lord Hades for a favour" I stood up straighter, my fingers tapped on my thigh quickly and repetitively. Criss took my hand and squeezed it tightly; then he began to rub circles on the top of my hand. I breathed in, and then out. The stress was eating me alive, did he raise them or not! God damnit!

"And was that favour to raise two demi-gods from the dead?" Zeus stared down at me like I had broken a sacred law, it wasn't like I had run over Aphrodite with my Mom's truck.

"Yes... They both died for a noble cause, I don't think they deserved to die" I flipped some hair behind my ears, I looked over to Aphrodite she looked different. Shoulders slouched, bent over, uninterested in the matter at hand. She loved people getting tortured by her father, that's when I noticed the baby in her hands. The slut had gotten pregnant again? What a great way to celebrate a victory.

"No one deserves to die, Clarisse, but they did... and since you only managed to kill one Drakon, only one person is able to be raised" I tried to control my breathing, it wasn't working. My blood boiled, the anger flowed right through me, I thought he said he'd try! Damn Zeus! Damn Hades! Damnit, I'm going to get put in the fields of punishment for saying that!

"Alright, Clarisse, Honey calm down... So where Is Selena? Or Charles, whoever was raised!" Criss said beside me, I knew he was trying to calm me down... but It wasn't working, I still wanted to strangle him.

"They are in Elysium where they belong, neither wanted to live without the other." I blinked, once, twice, three times. These gods sure know how to press my buttons, were they trying to get themselves injured? I heard Criss slap himself in the head for the Gods' stupidity.

"So, I killed a Drakon for nothing! You're not going to raise anybody!" I was almost at boiling point, anymore I would have to strangle somebody when we got back to camp.

"No, I did raise somebody... By the request of Selena she wants the both of you to take good care of him, guard him with your lives" Hades spoke up for the first time in the meeting, I was confused. I looked over to see that Criss was as well, what was raised that needed both of our protection.

"Who?" Criss asked, I looked around the council room until I noticed Aphrodite becoming smaller and smaller until she was mortal size. She was holding her baby in her arms, suddenly she reached me and tried to hand me the baby.

"Um, what is that?" I cringed away from the thing, I was begging that this wasn't who Selena wanted me to guard with my life.

"This is Charles Xavier Beckendorf, the second. He's the one who Hades raised" I looked into Aphrodite's perfect face, and saw Selena's gleaming blue eyes. If she had faith in me that I could raise her baby I guess I could, even if I knew nothing about babies. I urged my brain to move my arms to hold him, but they stayed right down at my sides.

"Don't you want to hold the baby?" Aphrodite asked, holding the sleeping baby out to me. I looked pleadingly at Criss who looked just as stunned as I did.

"Um, I'll take the... Um, baby I guess" Criss held out his arms for the tiny little baby, it was hard to believe that once even the gods were this tiny! I wonder if they could make themselves giant babies? Like how they did now, just they were babies... That'd be awesome!

Aphrodite placed Charles in Criss' arms; I wasn't sure who was more uncomfortable with the situation, Criss or the Baby. After about 4 minutes of Aphrodite teaching Criss to hold a baby the right way, she gave the baby a big kiss on the cheek and went back to her throne.

"Clarisse and Criss, here is the newest member of your family, treat him like he is your own, and when he is ready- please make sure he gets to camp half-blood safely" Hephaestus said, looking down on us from his giant mechanical chair. The whole committee was now attached to Charles, and if we did anything to screw up Charles' life we would be the black stuff on toast that everybody scrapped off into the sink.

I looked down at Selena and Charles' baby; he had pale skin like Selena. But had most of Charles' facial features, like his long yet tiny nose, the fact that his lips were darker than everything else, and even Charles' ears. But I could see some Selena in him too, the thick eye lashes, the blue eyes, and the dirty blond hair that stuck out from his head in every direction. This baby was just plain adorable, one day this boy would be a heartbreaker like his Mom. I just wish I knew how to take care of him.

I LOVE happy Hades, and Clarisse might be a bit calmer to since she's trying to raise a baby! Though there will be some outbursts from Clarisse in the next chapter or two! Tell me what you think in the commentary thing-y below!
