Third PoV

It was a night for celebration. Gaia, Tartarus, the Giants, and the Titans had been defeated.

There was one left though. One who worked behind the scenes. One, not even Athena had heard of. This one concocted a plan. Simple, but if it worked the way he wanted, could bring Olympus to its knees.

With the last of its strength, the one turned himself invisible, then slipped a potion into the drinks of the now immortal Perseus Jackson and the Olympian Goddess Artemis before fading.

Percy took a sip of his drink, his eyes changing from their gorgeous green to a duller greenish-grey as it began rooting in to take effect.

Percy went to find his girlfriend, Annabeth, and found her he did. Found her half-naked under Eros behind a bush. Not even intoxicated.

Percy sighed and walked away, sorrow beginning to set in. He began gulping down the drink. Percy never really seemed to notice that his glass never emptied.

The new immortal stumbled into Artemis as he walked, Artemis having also started consuming the drink. Their eyes locked, and so did their lips as they appeared in Artemis's bedroom.

What came after was a long, long night.

Percy awoke early the next morning, the memories from the night before slowly coming back to him. With a massive migraine, he first thought he was hallucinating. Something like that could never happen, he thought.

Rolling over, he saw Artemis sleeping peacefully. This brought a smile to Percy's face. Getting up, he pulled the blanket up to her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

After using the bathroom and dressing, Percy returned to find Artemis still asleep. He gathered her clothes and stacked them neatly atop the chest at the foot of the bed.

Percy sat back on the bed and tried to remember how they got into that situation.

As he was thinking, Artemis awoke.

Before she could speak, Percy gently took her hand. "Artemis, I don't know how this happened, but I swear on the Styx I will stay with you and help with any fallout, whether it be punishment, child, or anything else."

Artemis nodded, a look of numbness across her face. She grabbed her clothes and went to the bathroom.

When she walked back out, freshened up and clothed, she set something down on the nightstand next to Percy, curling into a ball on the bed.

Percy shifted her into his lap and rested his hand atop her head, the other picking up what Artemis had placed down on the nightstand. A pregnancy test, with positive results.

Percy shifted again, then lifted Artemis's shirt and kissed her stomach. "Daddy loves you, little one.”

Artemis sat up in his lap, kissing him gently on the lips.

Percy smiled and kissed her forehead. "Daddy loves mommy too," he said softly. Artemis took his face into her hands and pressed her lips to his again. Her hands moved down and pressed against his chest. Percy gently touched Artemis's face, rubbing circles in her cheek. Artemis pulled away, breathing hard. Percy kissed her cheek and pulled her close. Artemis closed her eyes and rested against his chest, slowly falling asleep.
