Hey again guys! This is the last chapter I've got written up at the moment, so the next one might take a while. I'd just like to thank dogbiscuit1967 for the fantastic conversations we've been having and the encouraging feedback.

I'm hoping this chapter is alright, I'm slowly building on to it. As always, read and review? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks beautifuls ~SpeshKay

Percy:

Fainting on hard wooden floors is not a good idea; it is not something I advise anyone to do. When I come to, I see Nico's face hovering over me as I lie on a sofa. Artemis and my father stand back and I see my mother asleep, head on Paul's shoulder. I sit up and groan.

"How are you feeling?" Nico asks.

"Sore," I respond, "Floorboards are really hard."

"Good observation," He smirks.

I turn to my father and Artemis. My father offers me a glass of water.

"Thank you," I say, "How long was I out?"

"Three hours," He answers, "I didn't mean to scare you that much."

"I'm okay," I respond, "Really,"

I take a mouthful and set the glass down next to me, swinging my legs off the sofa.

"Perseus," Artemis says, "while you were unconscious, I examined you."

I glance to Nico who chews his lip.

"And?" I prompt.

"Hecate's children," she explains, "have very short pregnancies, because of the magic. You're a month pregnant already."

"Excuse me?" I ask.

"With the combination of the magic and the high fertility," my father explains, regrettably, "there wasn't much of a chance that you wouldn't be with child, Percy."

"So…" I breathe, "I'm pregnant. I'm a seventeen year old guy and I'm pregnant."

"You're a girl," Artemis corrects and I glare at her.

"In about eight weeks," She continues, "I estimate your child will be born."

I swallow and close my eyes for a moment.

"Abortions do not work on demi-gods," My father continues.

I inhale shakily then open my eyes.

"I guess you're getting a grandchild," I respond, my hands squeezing into fists beside my knees.

I push up and take a deep breathe. I feel Nico's eyes on me, watching cautiously. I look at my father evenly.

"I'm assuming Hecate knows about… him," I say.

"Yes," Dad nods, "She isn't particularly impressed; especially when we said we were going to kill the boy,"

"And you have no idea where he went?"

"He disappeared, Percy," Nico reminds me.

I nod and sigh, running a hand through my hair. My stomach aches from lack of food.

"Alright," I say to myself, "I-I'm going to go to dinner. I may as well get this over with."

Nico leads me back to the Hades cabin after a quick meal. I ignore the eyes watching me as my friends gather with us and I explain the situation back in the cabin.

"You have to be joking," Hazel says, bewildered.

I shake my head, "Magic, high fertility. I've been a girl less than 48 hours and I'm pregnant by about a month."

"You're taking this all rather well," Annabeth frowns, concerned.

"I fainted," I retort, "I don't think that was well."

"I meant now," Annabeth clarifies, "Aren't you terrified?"

I squirm awkwardly, "I guess so."

"I hope Artemis and Poseidon find him," Jason adds, his face in a grimace of worry, "this is a really awful situation."

Nico nods silently.

"But you know," Thalia pipes up, after a moment of silence, "We're not going to let you do this alone."

"Sorry?" I ask.

"Having a baby," she smiles, "That's pretty big and you being a Kelp head would have no idea."

"Uncle Leo," Leo grins, "That sounds perfect."

I feel tears burn in my eyes before I launch off Nico's bed to hug Thalia.

"Thank you," I whisper to her, near crying.

"Don't you dare get emotional on me, Jackson," She growls in my ear.

I bite my lip and sit back down, blushing slightly.

"Sorry," I mumble.

"Kelp head," she laughs, "So if it's a girl, you'll name her after me?"

"And after me if it's a boy!" Leo adds.

"Definitely not," I say.

My stomach swirls at this point and I groan.

"Are you okay?" Nico asks, instantly.

"I feel ill," I explain, "It's okay, real-"

I break off abruptly to rush to his bathroom to vomit. I hear Annabeth and Hazel rush in after me. Annabeth holding my hair back while Hazel rubs circles on my lower back.

"Oh gods," I groan into the bowl.

"It's alright," Hazel coos, "Piper, can you ask Nico where the mouthwash is?"

"You okay?" Annabeth questions, pulling my hair back gently.

"Is Percy here?" I hear my mother ask.

I groan and flush the toilet.

"Are you okay honey?" Mum asks.

"Perfect," I reply.

Piper hands me a glass of mouthwash after I stand up. I flush the toilet and sit down on the lid. I take a mouthful and swish it around in my mouth. I stand and spit it out before repeating it again. I wash the sink and the glass out. I sigh and re-emerge into the cabin.

"Are you okay?" Nico and mum asks as the same time.

I nod before sitting back on Nico's bed.

"You look terrible," My mother says.

"I feel it," I shrug, "did dad tell you?"

She nods and smiles sadly.

"I wanted to talk to you about it actually," She says.

"What about it?" I question.

She sighs and sits down opposite me on Hazel's bed. She leans forward and takes my hands.

"I just wanted to remind you of my family history with births," She says.

"Oh," I realise, "I forgot about that."

"Sorry?" Annabeth inquires.

"My family," mum says sadly, looking at my best friend, "The women, it's very rare that all our children survive."

"All?" Repeats Nico.

"We tend to have multiple births," She explains, "I had a twin, she was stillborn. Percy's twin brother lasted only an hour. It goes back several generations. But it's only passed through the women. I thought it wouldn't matter because Percy's a boy but I'm concerned now Percy's been changed into a girl…"

"She'll have twins and one of them may not survive," Annabeth concludes quietly.

"I just wanted you to be aware," Mum says, rubbing a circle on my hand with her thumb.

I nod and swallow,

"It's okay," I tell her, "I'll-I'll get through this."

"With our help," Jason confirms.

"I'm so glad you've got such fantastic friends," Mum smiles, "I love you, Percy."

"I love you too, mum."

"Paul and I are staying in the big house," she tells me, "I think Chiron wanted you there too."

"I'll be over soon," I promise her.

"I'll walk Percy over," Nico assures my mother.

Mum smiles and kisses my cheek before kissing Nico's. IN the end my mum kisses everyone good night before walking back out.

"Your mum is amazing," Hazel says.

"I know," I smile, "She's just fantastic."

"This genetic thing," Annabeth says.

"it's pretty bad," I admit, "I mean, mum was pregnant when I was six I think, with triplets."

"Are you serious?" Piper demands, wide eyed.

"Yeah," I nod, "All three of them were stillborn."

"So you could have had three siblings?"

"Four technically," I say, "If you count my twin brother. The triplets were girls. But yeah, they didn't make it."

"Oh Percy," Thalia says in shock, "That's horrible."

"It's alright," I swallow, "What will happen, will happen."

"I still think you should call him Leo," Leo smiles.

I smirk at him.

"I don't think so."

"Why not?" he demands, horrified, "what else could you name him?"

"Sebastian," I decide.

"Sebastian?" Hazel smiles, "that's really cute."

"What about for a girl?" Annabeth inquires.

"Ariel," Jason assumes, "Keep the little mermaid theme going?"

I smirk, "You got it."

"Seriously?" Piper snorts.

"Why not?" I ask, "it seems fitting, I mean, descendant of Poseidon."

And Trivia.

But none of us include that part.

"What's the little mermaid?" Nico questions.

"It's a Disney film," Leo explains, "So really? The big, bad Percy Jackson is going to name his kid after a Disney movie?"

"It's my favourite." I shrug.

"How about we watch it tomorrow?" Annabeth suggests.

"And Finding Nemo?" I ask, childishly.

"Why not?" She giggles, "We've only watched it six hundred times."

"Five hundred and thirty seven," I correct her, with a pout.

"How about we get you to the big house?" Nico suggests.
