Percy's POV:

Time skip to 4 months later

Percy and Annabeth were finishing up their first round of training for the day. Annabeth had just been allowed to come back this month, which was still early but demigod stuff. Percy had to admit, it was bad at first, but it wasn't taking her long to get back into it. She still hadn't beat him yet, but she was getting a lot better.

He felt bad for her because she didn't want to train in front of anyone out of embarrassment. Annabeth had said something along the lines of 'they expect me to be the best, that's what we are. I can't let them see me like this'. Percy thought that at this rate, she would be back to where she was in a few months. If she were to be attacked now, she'd be able to hold her ground, but they both knew she needed to be better than that.

They were taking a water break currently. Annabeth sat on the floor, pouring water on her face.

"You okay?" Percy asked her.

She was still catching her breath, but nodded in response. He offered his hand to help her stand, which she took gratefully.

"Do you wanna go another time or call it that for now?" He asked.

"We can do one more," she answered. Annabeth wasn't the quitting type, which she took pride in. They were squaring up and in position, when the conch horn sounded. They both let down their guard for a minute. Percy frowned, it wasn't the alarm sound, but it was too early for lunch.

Their answer was given to them via someone screaming to the top of their lungs; "THE GODS ARE HERE!"

Percy and Annabeth glanced at each other with alarm before sprinting out of the arena. Sure enough at the bottom of the Hill, stood the Olympians. Grover and Juniper were watching the twins while they were training, but Percy knew they would show up with them soon. The seven plus Reyna were all at Camp Half Blood currently, he knew they would also be here any second now.

They were one of the first ones there. Some of the younger campers bowed, but Percy and Annabeth didn't waste time on it. Sure enough, Piper, Jason, Leo, Hazel, Frank, Reyna, and Nico all came then. The Romans bowed of course, but that was because they were Roman. The Greeks of their group, didn't.

It didn't take long for all of CHB to be at the hill, staring at the gods. All were there including Hades, except for Artemis. Percy was ready to hear the worst about that. None of the gods ever came to camp, let alone all of them. He was prepared to go on another quest to save her, which he didn't want to do but he actually liked Artemis.

Grover and Juniper came to the front with them, and handed Percy and Annabeth their children.

"Okay, why are you here," Percy demanded.

"Calm down, Perseus," Hera said, "and hello to you too."

Zeus cleared his throat, "It has come to our attention that we have failed to keep our promises made after the second Titan War, that is, paying attention to our demigod children. So, we intend to make that up to you."

"What he means is," Apollo interjected, "we are staying here for the next month."

Collective gasps were heard throughout. Many of these kids had never even seen their godly parent before, let alone all of them in the same place. Percy wouldn't have a problem with this considering he and his dad were pretty solid. He still didn't understand what made them commit to this after so many years, but rather now then never.
