Nico's POV
"What did you want to see me about Percy?" Aphrodite asked.
"Well I need a box for this ring?" Percy asked pulling a silver banded ring with 3 gems.
"OMG PERCABETH IS GETTING ENGAGED!!!! MY OTP!!" Aphrodite squealed.
"Yes, so could you help get a box?" Percy said
"Of course, now let me see the ring!" She said holding out her hand.
"Sure." He gave her the ring.
"Percy it's beautiful, I know the perfect box for it!" She exclaimed.
"What is it?"
"It's a silver box, With a blue owl decal." She said. She snapped her fingers, and the ring got surrounded in pink, sparkly mist and turned into a silver box with an owl decal on the top. It was perfect.
"It's perfect thanks." Percy said. Reaching for the box. But Aphrodite pulled it back and said
"It costs, Percy, 8 drachmas, and I want to bless it." She negotiated.
"Okay, but how long will that take?"
"One-two days at minimum, but, I'll put it in you pocket when I'm finished."
"Okay." He finished and gave her the drachmas.
"Bye, Percy, bye Nico di Angelo." She said which made me jump because I was off to the side and out of sight.
"Bye." Percy and I both said walk/running to the elevator. I grabbed Percy's wrist and shadow traveled back to Hogwarts.
**Saturday morning**
Annabeth's POV
Percy is acting crazy this morning. He keeps loosing everything. First it was his backpack, then it was his jacket, then, his shoes, and now it's riptide.
"PERCY! It's in your pocket." I yell at him.
I walk over to him and look him in the eye. "Percy what's wrong?" I asked calmly.
"I don't know, I just feel out of it today." He sighed.
"Let's make today a lake day." I said knowing that would calm his nerves and bring him back to himself.
"Okay" he said as I walked out of the room to put my bathing suit on. I found my blue one piece in the drawer I put on some dark blue leggings and a gray tunic top. I put some snacks in my bag, along with a towel and walked down stairs.
"Ready?" I asked him.
"Yep." he said when he grabbed my bag and walked towards the exit.
We raced towards the lake to which he stumbled. When we got there. We sat under a tree by the water. Percy, being Percy, took off his shirt and shoes and walked in the water. I sat there wearing his jacket watching him sit at the bottom talking to the nymphs and fish. I pulled out my book that I got from Percy's parents and began reading it.
When I got close to the end I got an idea for a house. I pulled out my sketchbook and started working on it.
It was about to be lunch time so I started packing up. Percy came up and was as usual dry. He helped me up and we started walking to the great hall. Percy's phone started ringing.
"Hello?" He greeted
"Oh gods I'll be there soon"
"Yea definitely!" He started freaking out.
"What?" I asked when he hung up.
"Paul called, baby on the way we got to go to see McGonagal" and he started sprinting. I ran after him.
"Percy it's the other way!" I said after him. He turned grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the headmistress office. My arm was burning by the time we got up there. "Ouch, Percy whats up with you?" I asked getting a little irritated with him.
"My mom is having the baby right now, we have to get to the hospital."He said with a scared look in his eye.
"Okay, Percy just breath, we will go up to her office and ask her for what exactly?"
"ask her if we could get off school for a couple days to spend time with my parents and the baby."
"Now that you have a plan get your nerves under control, and go in there and ask her nicely."
"Okay." He breathed and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A voice came from the other side of the door.
"Hello, Miss.Chase and Mr.Jackson. How may I help you?" She asked kindly
"Well, professor we need to get home for a couple of days." I said.
"What for?"
"My Mom is having a baby as we speak."
"Okay, well you can go by floo powder." She said pointing to the fire place.
"Thank you professor." I said going to their house with Percy behind me.
"Why did we come here?" Percy asked.
"We need to get them a hospital bag. Clothes, toothbrush, baby stuff, car seat, and other stuff plus we could start cleaning up for when they get home." I explained
"Okay I'll get Paul's stuff, the car seat and start cleaning the living room, you get the baby's stuff, Sally's stuff and you clean the kitchen. Deal." Percy stated the game plan.
"Deal." I agreed running up to the nursery. I grabbed a baby bag, I packed it with two baby out fits, one had a pink ruffled dress and cute white socks, the second was a sea-foam green onesie with a pink sea-horse on it. I grabbed a bottle and some dippers, I also packed a blanket. When I was done I went into Sally's room and grabbed some black leggings and a long, white T-shirt. I also packed some blue jeans, and an orange long sleeve shirt. I grabbed a jacket and some house shoes. I put in her toothbrush, hair brush, and some hair ties. I put all of that into a duffle bag and rand downstairs. I cleaned off the counters, did the dishes and put away all the sharp stuff that could potentially hurt Emerson. I walked into the living room to see Percy recording some good T.V shows and movies. I told him to come on. I grabbed the bags, while he grabbed the car-seat, and my school bag. I hauled a taxi, and told him to take us to the nearest hospital.
******* baby has arrived****
Percy's POV
My baby sister, Emerson Atalanta Blofis, was born at 4:37 p.m on February 26. I sat in the hospital room holding my little sister. She had caramel brown hair, like Paul's, and the eyes that change color in the light like my mom's. Her skin was so soft, and her touch was so gentle. I have never seen something so small, so innocent.
When her hand grabbed my finger, I couldn't help but smile at her. She saw my face and she smiled back. I tickled her tummy and she giggled a cute, little laugh. I handed her back to my mom and walked to get something to eat, with Annabeth. We were talking and I accidentally ran in to someone.
"Sorry I wasn't looking where I was-" I paused when I noticed the familiar sandy blonde hair and blue eyes and a really bright smile.
"Apollo?"
"Incognito."
"What are you doing here?"
"I am the god of medicine so I'm checking up on stuff." I looked around and saw a familiar 12 year old looking girl with auburn hair that was in braids walking towards us.
"Artemis what are you doing here?" I asked
"I'm the goddess of child birth, and I helped your mom with the baby. We have to talk to all of you guys, like now." She said annoyingly.
"Okay, let's go then." I said walking back to the room.
"Artemis, why is Larkin at Hogwarts?"Annabeth asked
"Larkin, is a strong hunter but she got on the good side of the wizards and we need their alliance for the war coming."
"Oh okay! Then will you tell us what the silvery mist stuff is?" I asked hoping to catch them off guard.
"Yea it that thing that you dri- ow" Apollo said getting a hard gab in the gut by Artemis elbow.
"Here we are." Annabeth said.
"Good, hello Mr. and Mrs.Blofis. I am here to talk about Emerson. While Apollo is going up to Olympus to get things ready. While he dose that I'm going to tell you important things you need to know." She said very sternly.
"Okay." My mom said.
"One, today is the 26th so on the 28th, I will be at your house at 7:00, to take all of you to Olympus for the blessings.
Two, I'm sorry to tell you this but I think she is apart of a prophecy. Third, there is a dance at Hogwarts for the 7th years, that there families are invited you are asked to attend with the baby. Are we clear?" Artemis said fixing her braids.
"Yes." Annabeth said. Artemis nodded and flashed out.
*the morning of the blessings*
Sally's POV
Emerson is getting blessed today and she is going to be wearing her white little dress with the golden belt, she will be wearing soft socks and little gold shoes, I put a little white bow with golden sequins in her hair. She looked adorable. We took millions of photos, and put her in her carrier. We buckled her in while. Percy put the stroller in the trunk. The ride was almost tolerable, Percy and Annabeth kept talking, waking up the baby then Annabeth would calm her down and get her back to sleep. When we finally got there I took her out of her car seat. I put her in her stroller and Percy rolled her to the receptions desk.
"600th floor please."Annabeth said
"Doesn't exist lady."
"I'm the architect of Olympus and my boyfriend over there is Percy Jackson. Oh and we have an appointment."
"Here you go." He said Giving Annabeth the key. We all got into the elevator. Emerson giggled at the classical music. I guess she liked it.
When we got to the top Percy pushed Emerson's stroller, as we followed Annabeth to the throne room. We walked in and Emerson was quickly snatched by a Nymph and placed into a basket with soft silk looking fabric. The nymph walked out of the room and we walked closer to the gods.
Percy's POV
Zeus walked up to Emerson and picked her up. He placed a finger on her chest and said "I bless you with the power of lightning." He said boldly. Emerson's skin glowed a golden light. Then Hades approached her and took her from Zeus. He placed his finger on her chest and said, " I bless you with the power of shadow travel." now Emerson was glowing a black light mixed with the golden light. Poseidon practically ran to her and placed a finger on her chest and said," I bless you with the powers of a demigod of Poseidon." Blue light mixed in the the colors. Athena came up to her and placed a finger on her forehead and said,"I bless this child with Wisdom, and battle strategy." Ares came up and and put his finger on her arm."I bless you with strength." Hera walked up and placed a finger over Emerson's heart and said "I bless this child with shape shifting." Aphrodite blessed her with Charmspeak and a good sense of fashion. Artemis blessed her with hunting skills, and gave her a silver bow and a quiver full of arrows. Apollo gave her musical talents and healing. Hermes gave her a talent for pranks, flying shoes and free shipping. Demeter gave her the power over plants and a love of plants. Dionysus gave her a hero's destiny. Heaphatus blessed her with a talent with mechanics and power of fire. Hestia made her, her Champion which gave her power of the hearth and home cooked meals when ever she liked. Hecate gave her a magic boost. when everyone blessed her she surrounded with different colors of lights. Hecate gave her to my mom and my mom put her in the basket and the colors disappeared we put her in the stroller and left.
