2020:

They'd always thought babysitting was a lot of fun but that all changed this peculiar time. Estelle was eighteen, old enough to stay home alone, but she had been throwing parties the last few time so her parents had asked the couple to stay with her.

She was being grumpy, locking herself in her room all night, only exiting to come get her food and then leaving.

It was late now, Percy and Annabeth cuddling on the couch and talked about everything and anything.

"When we have kids, what would you name them?" asked Percy. They had never talked about this because they never thought they would get to live it. "For a girl, Elianna, Anna, Faye, Margo or Lili. But my favourite is definitely Elianna." Annabeth answered.

"I love that name, Elianna. With the middle name Faye. For boys, my favourite is probably Theo or Theodore, but, if you don't like it, I think Miles or James I also like."

"I like Miles best but I love Theodore as a middle name." she said.

"How many kids do you think we can handle?" Percy asked her. "Well, I think I can handle as many as I want." Annabeth responded, "But you, you can only handle maximum two."

Percy rolled his eyes even if he knew what she was saying was the entire truth. "Do you think we should have twins? Like a boy and a girl. Miles Theodore and Elianna Faye. What do you think about that?"

"Yeah, that'd be nice" She sighed and kissed Percy. But that thought was exactly the kind of thought her mother had needed to create her. She felt energy course through her, like the very thought of having a child with Seaweed Brain was enough for her to create the children.

She screamed to Percy: "I'm like my mom Percy, they're coming now. LIKE, RIGHT NOW." Another scream left her lips and she saw the baby fall from over Percy. His eyes opened wide as he looked up and extended his arms and catch the baby and he said it was a boy.

At the sound of the commotion, Estelle ran out of her room and came in to her brother holding a baby, which had not been there an hour ago and to his girlfriend screaming "THE OTHER ONE IS COMING!" She could see through the mist and knew that this was not normal behaviour.

She held Annabeth's hand for a minute, before hearing some crying that didn't seem to be coming from the baby already there and looked up. She gasped as a newborn baby fell out of the air and she caught it. She looked at it in shock and demanding an explanation to the pair.

The baby she was holding was a girl, and she handed her to Annabeth once she had calmed down.

2022:

"Dadda come play. Eli running with me." Miles told his dad, who nodded and ran after the twins. He loved how the kids looked exactly like one of the parents and nothing like the other. He was still so grateful for that night Annabeth had had the very thought that birthed the kids.

Still, today Annabeth didn't feel too well so he'd had to take care of the kids all day. They usually took turns taking care of one kid so this was very difficult for Percy, who the kids usually used as a teddy bear they could hit and run on top of.

Meanwhile, his wife was reading a book about architecture alone in her room. Sometimes she had to fool Percy into thinking she was sick just so she could get alone time. Yes, she loved the kids, but having Percy too was hard, but entirely worth it.

She wished they would never grow.
