Aftermath

Family

No one's POV

The immortals entered into the room as soon Apollo said they could. Percy was awake playing with his son while Kronos went to prepare the cabin for the child. He also prepared his room in Othrys just in case Percy decided to visit there.

"Eeehhh, let me see him." Aphrodite squealed loudly snatching Kayson from Percy.

"Careful. He's quite fragile" Poseidon glared at her.

"Someone's being overprotective." Hermes said.

"He's my grandson. I have a right to be." Poseidon folded his arms.

"Give him here." Artemis said to Aphrodite who kept cooing at the child.

"He's so cute and look he has Percy's looks." Athena said.

Apollo, Hestia and Hermes stood by door with smiles on their faces. They watched as their family fought over who would become the child's favourite.

"They are happy." Hestia said. As the goddess of family, she loved to see her family like this.

"Yes they are. The little bundle of joy has us all wrapped around his finger already." Apollo said.

"I don't mean to sound negative but do you ever wonder what would happen if this child ever found out the truth about his parentage and what order would do to get this child and Percy back." Hermes said remembering that the war was still going on.

"We don't have to worry about that for now. We can think of the future later. Let's cherish the present." Hestia said.

"I'd love it if you didn't drop my son while you keep passing him around." Kronos said entering the room.

Percy smiled at him while he smiled back.

"The rooms are ready. Can I take him back to camp?" Kronos asked Apollo.

"You can but not right now. I have to do some tests on them to make sure they are okay before they leave." Apollo said taking the child from them and disappearing into another room.

"Hey, I have a surprise for you." Kronos said to Percy giving him a side hug.

"Yeah, what is it?" He questioned.

"You'll see. Don't worry." Kronos replied.

"Okay. But can it wait, I have to see my friends when I leave." Percy said.

"I know but they can wait." Percy started to wonder what the surprise could be.

"Alright the baby is completely fine. And since he is immortal, he won't need as much milk as a human. So you just have to mix nectar into whatever formula you decide to give him." Apollo handed the child to Kronos.

"Does this mean that we can go?" Percy asked.

"No. Not yet. I still have to check you." Apollo looked apologetic.

"But I feel fine." Percy complained.

"Come on my love. Let Apollo do his job. It's for your safety." Kronos urged him.

"Uggh. Fine. Go on." Percy relented.

Mean while ...

At Order's palace.

Still in no one's POV

"My lord." Paul greeted his Master

"I remember saying i wanted to be left alone to think, so if this isn't important then i suggest you leave before i start to think of ways to get rid of you." Order said. His annoyance at loosing the sea Prince was clear.

"My lord, this news is very important and it can also ease your troubles." Paul replied. He knew entering the throne was like entering the den of a hungry lion with no means of defense. Order could easily direct his anger to him.

"Go on. I'm listening." Order said.

"One of the spies have given a report on your beloved. He conceived a child for you and had hidden it while he was still in the castle." Paul said.

"That is great news. But I must say Percy turned out to be smarter than I thought. I always did wonder why he gave up fighting me. Any other thing?" Order asked. His anger seemed to have vanished.

"Yes, my lord. Our enemies have decided to bring the child into this world very early because of the danger it imposes on both the child and its mother. But the delivery date seems to be kept as a secret even from the half bloods." Paul reported.

Order's eyes narrowed before a smile came on his face.

"What an excellent move? They seem to have become smarter. Try to find out when and where it will take place. If you manage to do that then I want Percy and that kid brought to me but if you don't then I'll have to find a way to take that child. He would come running back once he hears I'm with the child." Order smiled. You could practically see plans being mapped out in his head.

Apollo's infirmary

Apollo checked Percy's vitals and saw that everything was normal.

"Now can I go?" Kronos laughed at his impatience.

"Yes. You are free to go." Apollo said smiling.

"Percy I'll flash you to camp." Poseidon offered.

"Sure. Why not? Besides, Kronos needs bonding time with Kayson. Right?" Percy asked sweetly.

"Sure, go ahead. I'll bring him with me." Kronos said.

He knew Percy just wanted them to have father-son bonding time. He with Kayson and Percy with Poseidon. And he couldn't deny that Kayson was the cutest child he had ever laid his eyes on.
