A week after I was at Silena and Beckendorf's, Silena went into labor. The news travelled, fast, and everyone was too excited to complain about being left in the dark for 9 months. On July 5th, the child, or as far as we knew, children, were born. I had to go see her.

"Percy, we have to go!" I called, grabbing my bag and sunglasses. 

"Mommy, hurry up!" Sophia called from the driveway. 

"Coming sweetie!" Percy and I called at the same time. I started to laugh, kissing Percy on the lips. 

"Great minds think alike, don't they?" Percy commented. I smirked. 

"I wouldn't take it that far..." We both laughed, rushing to get into the car. 

Everyone had a theory for what Silena and Beckendorf would name their baby. Hazel claimed that they would have a girl and name it Miranda. Piper thought they'd have twin boys, named Max and Noah. Juniper and Grover were coming back from their world-wide journey to see Silena and Beckendorf's baby. Juniper thought they'd have triplets. No one knew. I personally had no clue. None of the guys really cared that much; even Beckendorf seemed out-of-the-loop on the baby naming process. 

We drove to Boston as fast as demigodly possible. Traffic was light, since it was a Sunday, so we flew all the way there, especially with Percy at the wheel. Lena was in the back freaking out because we were passing the speed limit. 

"Daddy slow downnnn!!!!!!!!!! We're going 75 mph, and the speed limit was 70.

"Lena, sweetie, it's fine. We're allowed." That didn't satisfy her.

"No! Then why are there speed limits, Daddy?" Percy shook his head.

"So that people don't go too fast, munchkin."

"Well I think you're going too fast!" Percy smiled.

"I give up, Lena." After that, we stayed at 68, and Lena stayed quiet. 

We reached the hospital at noon. The July sun was high in the sky, and the heat beamed down on the glorious day. I squealed with excitement. The last time Silena had gotten pregnant, she'd miscarried. That had practically broken her heart. All she wanted was children. Beckendorf wanted kids too, and Silena had felt like she'd failed him. She'd almost left town. But Beckendorf had gotten her to stay. We still don't know how, it was that bad. Now, all Silena was scared of was that she'd have a boy. She knew that deep down in Beckendorf's heart, he wanted a baby boy. 

"I can't fail him again," She'd said, time after time in the week after she'd told me. She was terrified. 

We walked inside, and said hello to the receptionist. 

"We're here to see Silena and Charlie Beckendorf." I said, smiling. A bouquet of flowers was in Taylor hand, and money for a present was in Luke's. We weren't sure what to buy since we didn't know the gender, so we were risking it. 

"The Beckendorfs are in Room 516. It's on the fifth floor. Just take the first right, and then the third left." 

"Thank you!" I exclaimed, dragging my brood behind me. We stood in the elevator impatiently, and the floors went by slowly. Finally, we reached the fifth floor. I practically ran to Room 516. But when I finally got there, I was scared to walk in. What if something had happened? What if Silena was having a rough time? What if... it bugged and fogged my mind to a horrible extent. But I walked in anyway. 

"Knock knock!" I saw Silena in the bed with a tear stained, smiling face. But no baby. However, the room was big, it could've been somewhere else...
