For better or worse

Crew Meeting

"So what were the results?" Percy asked, green eyes showing worry, excitement, confusion.

"How about we wait until Jason gets here," Piper suggested, smiling and patting his thigh. "It'll be alright."

Jason then suddenly burst in, forehead covered in sweat. It looked as though he had run here as fast as he could. "Is something wrong?"

"No, Jason. Everything is perfectly alright." Percy sighed at his overly protective boyfriend. "I'm sort of Pregnant."

Jason seemed shocked by this news. "Wow, I didn't expect that."

"You don't have to be with me anymore if you don't want to." Percy sighed when Jason didn't say anything more than that.

"Percy I'd rather die than not be be able to kiss you everyday," Jason rushed to hug the shorter boy in his strong grasp.

"Group meeting in the lounge please. May I repeat, group meeting in the lounge. Everyone on board is required to attend," Leo's voice echoed over the overcome. Everyone rushed to the lounge hoping it wasn't a serious matter at hand.

"We've come here to discuss multiple business topics," Leo stated, each of the couples shared a love seat type couch. "Annabeth did some research and found out the answers to some of the questions."

"I read in a book that female or mixed gender sea children always know the answered to medical field type questions when they're pregnant." Annabeth sighed, frowning as she looked at the child of Poseidon. "Are you Pregnant Jackson?"

"Maybe or maybe not," the raven haired boy huffed out in confusion and immaturity.

"So you are, okay that's... Interesting I guess," Annabeth sighed, her gray eyes dropping to the table in thought. This couldn't be good. Two pregnant males on the ship? Things were sure to go berserk. "Leo, do you have a plan?"

"We could always change our names and run to Romania," the three Romans suggested, not knowing that a certain Leo Valdez had basically said the same thing to Nico and Piper.

"Yes," Leo confirmed, grinning hugely like the idiot that he was sometimes. "My trusty tool belt will support us with money for the first month or so. We'll get a ginormous house. Each couple will share a room. No one at Camp Half-Blood can know about the future children until we get back. Some of us will get jobs because I have a limited amount of money in my tool belt."

"How much money do you have?" Frank asked, deciding to go against the authors wishes and actually talk.

"Um...not including my life savings. Let's see... one, two, nine, one hundred, nine hundred, nine hundred ninety nine. Nine hundred, ninety-nine thousand five dollars and thirty-eight cents," Leo replied, looking up at the shocked faces of the rest of the crew. All he had done was take money out of a belt. "We'll have to go to school, too. So when you guys start showing to much, I'll work my Leo magic."

"How does that belt do that?" Hazel asked, amazed. It was bigger in the inside! (Doctor Who reference).

"Doesn't matter. Does anyone have a preference or idea?" Leo asked, eyes a blaze. He looked around and saw one raised hand, it was Nico's. "Yes, Ghost King?"

"What about Maine?" Nico asked quietly. He looked around seeing he would need to expand and explain. "I've been there once and it was actually pretty cool. It's also pretty close in case we need to go back to camp."

"Any objections?" Leo asked, glancing around the room. "So that's settled then? It's time to look at houses in Maine."

"So we all agree on the A-frame house in Monmouth?" Leo asked, Monmouth was a quite place, with s good schooling system. They weren't, too high tech, so they wouldn't attract many monsters.

"Yep," they all replied, not knowing if this was the best idea.

"Okay, let's get sailing!" Leo yelled, no monsters had attacked them yet, but that didn't mean that they wouldn't attack.

When they got to the house, they were surprised at how much work had to be done. There were hole everywhere, and half the upstairs wasn't finished.

"We're Lucky to have a mechanic/builder person," Leo commented, this was nothing compared to the building of the Argo II."You guys go and enroll us in the high school, I'll work on the house."

"Okay," Percy saluted, grinning as they walked out in search of the school.

The High School turned out to only be about two miles away, just across from the middle school.

"Hello, can you help us..." Nico started, asking a young girl that looked around sixteen if she could help them. She had curly, brown hair that was in a pony tail, she held a thick black binder and had black glasses that weren't framed, that made her chocolate eyes glisten, and some how worked with her tan complexion.

"Hello, you must be new. I just started this year also. I'm only twelve and I take eighth grade/Algebra I here. I'm a seventh grader over at the middle school. I'm Aaliyah Dection by the way, it's a pleasure to meet you," she stuck here hand out, Nico shook it before he talked.

"I'm Nico di Angelo, this is Piper McLean, Percy Jackson, Jason Grace, Annabeth Chase, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque, also NGOs with our friend Leo Valdez," He explained, he looked self consciously at himself before saying more. "Could you escort us to the office please?"

"You might want fake last names, or not. People seem to hear your names differently." She explained, getting weird glances. "You're not the only book characters in Monmouth. Alex and Aaron Stowe showed up just last week."

"Follow me!" She instructed, bringing them to the office.

Hazel used the mist to make Jason look like an adult so he could enroll himself. She did the same for everyone except Leo, who Piper enrolled.

"Wow!" They all shouted. The house looked amazing. There were two new rooms and everything was done.

"Want a tour?" Leo asked, everyone nodded. "Well, there's an underground room or two. Nico and I have the under ground one on the right, Percy and Jason on the left. Piper and Annabeth, you have the room connected to the hall on the end. Hazel and Frank, you have the upstairs one. That loft like room is our work area. All the rooms have bathrooms since I made them to basically be houses. That's our public like bathroom. The Kitchen, the dining room, open space to roam, and living room. "
