"I hated college." Leo complained throwing the graduation hat on the ground and plopping on the cot in the corner.
"At least you can officially open the shop now." Calypso said from the kitchen. "Plus you cleared 8 years of college in a year was it really that bad."
19 year old Leo sighed. Calypso came in. Luckily thanks to goddess magic she looked like she aged with him. When she didn't.
"How do I get this thing off?" Leo said tugging on his tie.
"I don't know...Let me see." Calypso started fiddling with his tie. Her apron was covered in flower.
"What are you making in there?" Leo asked as Calypso unknotted his tie. Calypso smiled. "Ugh, Callie I told you not to worry about it."
"Why not? You're turning 20 tomorrow at least let me bake you a cake."
"I don't want one." Leo complained.
"Well I do and so do your friends." Calypso said wiping flower on his noes. "Besides it's just a simple cake."
Leo shook his head. He hated birthdays. August 23. His least favorite day. Leo changed into a CHB t-shirt and jeans. he went into the kitchen to see Calypso frosting a chocolate cake with red frosting.
"At least you got the flavor and color right." Leo said popping a cut tomato off the counter.
"Hey those are for dinner." Calypso said putting the last frosting on the cake. "There I won't even put happy birthday on it." She said.
"Thanks." Calypso put the cake up.
"Ow." She said. She clutched her stomach.
"Are you ok?" Leo said rushing to her. He hated seeing her in pain. she nodded bitting her lip. "Is something wrong?"
"I need to talk to you." Calypso said sitting down in a chair. Leo pulled up a chair and sat in front of her.
"Is everything ok, Sunshine?" Leo said taking her hands.
"Dear, I'm not sure how to tell you..." Calypso hesitated. Leo kissed her gently and nodded. "I-I'm...We...uh..." Leo laughed.
"Sweetie. It's ok. You can tell me." Leo said. She took a deep breath.
"Please don't be mad." She said. Leo smiled.
"Remember no matter what happens, I will still love you." Leo said. "Now tell me what's the matter." She squeezed his hand. Gosh he hated seeing her so worried. She looked at him bitting her lip.
"I'm..." She took a deep breath. "I'm going to have baby."
Leo burst into tears.
"Oh gods, Leo I'm sorry. I-I should of told you immediately. I-"
"Gods no Callie! I'm happy!" Leo said hugging her. "I'm not mad, sunshine." She sighed of relief. Gods Leo was going to be a dad.
"Good. I'm so glad your not mad. I would hate to ruin your birthday."
"This is the best thing you could do for my birthday! Callie, we're going to be parents." Leo said standing up and dragging her up with him. He lifted her and spun her in the small shop kitchen. He set her down.
"Yes, we are, hero." Calypso said hugging him.
"What if our kids don't like me? Calypso you do realize she's going to be a demigod?" He said. "What-"
"Leo. This baby is going to love you and she/he will be perfectly safe."
"Gods...thank you. This is probably the best birthday in history."
"Does this mean I have to take your gift back?" Leo rolled his eyes.
"Do you think I'll make a good dad?" Leo asked.
"The best."

To answer last chapters question.
Um...I write. Not a lot of people actually know that. Like on time I had to write a small story for English. When I read it to my mom she was in so much shock she couldn't say anything until she finally said. "That was REALLY good."
Other than that I play flute and doodle. I'm ok, not the best.
