A couple more months passed, by Phil never got over what happened. He faked his smile through every day, trying to do what he promised Dan. He found a way to move into a bigger space with Becca, and she had the baby two weeks after the incident. He found a routine and even made a way for Becca to work as well. He stepped up and worked harder, growing stronger and stronger with every practice. Scott and Mitch were okay with leaving him to himself, as their surrogate finally gave birth. Everything seemed to be going great, and everything seemed peaceful.

It was August fifteenth, two months after Dan's death and Phil was getting ready for the day in his bedroom. He was going to take a week off to focus on training, and it was his last day before break. He picked out the outfit for the day, as there was no dress code for the aquarium. He chose a light blue plaid shirt, some black jeans and sneakers to match. His hair was straight, his fringe swept to the right as always, and he decided to wear his glasses that day. He walked out, joining the daughter of Hades and her baby girl.

"Did you two sleep well?" Phil asked, grabbing a plate of food, which he quickly learned Becca could cook.

"We were," Becca sighed, "but then she started screaming. Not crying at all, just screaming. I woke up and saw a shadow trying to take Dani. I turned on the light and it was gone. I didn't go back to sleep at all."

"I'm sorry to hear that," he apologized. "Maybe I should call off so I can take Dani somewhere while you sleep more."

"We need as much money as we can get," she shook her head. "I will be fine, but I need to run to get some things before you go to work?"

"Like?" Phil asked, pushing for more.

"Dani needs more diapers," she explained, "and my breast pump broke. I also need some new clothes since I've already lost like forty pounds within the two months. Hell, I got an extra good paycheck. I may just go on a shopping spree."

"Can you pick me up a few things if I give you a list?" He asked, holding out a piece of paper. "I'll give you the money for it."

"No need," she shook her head, grabbing the list. "I will be back in two hours."

"I will see you then," he waved, the woman walking out the door.

Danielle began to cry, Phil picking her up in his arms. He grabbed her bottle and began to feed her, bouncing as he did so. He shushed her and she began to fall asleep. When he finally got her to sleep, there was a knock on the door, making the baby cry yet again. He rocked the two month old as he went to the door. He opened the door, frozen in shock as he saw the familiar boys in front of him.

One boy was only familiar from pictures in Scott's room. He was young with jet black hair and blue eyes. He was beyond beautiful, wearing a Camp Half Blood T-shirt and bluejeans. He was alive and there in front of the fellow son of Poseidon. That wasn't the most shocking thing, though. What shocked him the most was when his lover looked and him and awkwardly waved saying, "Hi..."
