Nico's Return

You Done Fucked Up

Reyna's POV

It had been 3 weeks since Nico left, when Addy came in skipping happily.

"What's up?" I ask her.

"Daddy told me not to tell you," she says.

"Addy, Daddy isn't here," I sigh, become becoming sad again.

"He was in the rainbow!" Addy exclaims.

"What?" I say, jerking my head around.

"Oops," Addy says, "I wasn't supposed to say that."

"Addy, I need to talk to him," I tell her.

"But Daddy said that you would be angry at him, so he doesn't want to," she mumbles, scrunching her nose.

"Next time you see him in the rainbow, tell him that I am not angry, and that I want to talk to him," I say.

"Okay," she whispers, unsure.

"Good, now I am going to talk to Ms. Thalia, you stay in the cabin with Auntie Hazel," I tell her, standing up.

"Alright," she grins.

I walk out of the cabin, looking for Thalia. I see her talking with Percy in front of the Poseidon cabin. I run up to them.  I immediately start talking, interrupting their conversation, "Nico is Iris Messaging Addy."

They look shocked. "What?" Percy asks.

"Yeah," I confirm, "he is talking to Addy. I told her to tell me when he does it again so I can talk to him."

"Okay, I hope it's soon," Thalia says.

We continue to talk about the Nico situation until Addy and Bianca come up to us, screaming about Annabeth in pain.

"What?" Percy shouts, asking the girls to lead him to her. We quickly follow suit to see Annabeth waddling to the infirmary, occasionally bending down in pain. "Percy!" She shrieks when she sees him.

"Is it time?" He asks hurriedly.

She nods viciously, and he starts leading her to the infirmary. When we all get there, Percy starts calling for a doctor, "She's in labor!"

The children of Apollo rush around the couple, pulling Annabeth and Percy away.

Third Person

Hours later, a doctor comes out and informs them of the birth. Reyna, Thalia, Addy, Bianca, the Seven, and so many more crowd into the room to meet the baby. Annabeth is asleep on the hospital bed, and Percy holds the child, looking awestruck. He looks up at the group in front of him, grinning. "I would like you to meet Zöe Jackson," he tells them.

People rush toward the baby, cooing. After another few hours of passing the baby around, she is taken by the nurses for exams. Everyone moves back to the waiting room, exhausted. Soon, nearly everyone is asleep. They wake up suddenly to shouting and sobbing. Reyna rushes to the sound, finding Annabeth and Percy crying, Percy is shouting at the nurse. "What do you mean?"

"Percy, we are so sorry," the nurse starts.

"No! You made a mistake!" Annabeth screams between sobs.

"We are so sorry, we will organize a search party right now," the nurse says shuffling out of the room.

Annabeth looks up to Reyna, whimpering, "Can you please get Thalia?"

Reyna nods, and brings Thalia in. Thalia runs to the crying Annabeth, trying to soothe her.

"What happened, Annie?" She asks calmly.

"She's gone Thalia! Someone took our baby!"
