Chapter 17

Percy:

"She's so cute and precious!" Piper squealed as she walked over to the hospital bed. Mom looked tired and out of energy. Everyone was here. 

Annabeth was here too. She was dragged here by Piper who apparently appeared in front of her while she was trying to go home. It was Wednesday. 

The baby was a girl. She was a beautiful little thing. Someone put a little headband on her head. And she was so precious. 

"What's her name?" Nico asked, quietly from the corner. 

"Estelle Bianca Zoe Jackson-Blofis." Mom answered, smiling at Nico. 

Bianca was Nico's sister. She died during a car accident a few years ago with Zoe. Nico has never been the same ever since. 

Nico teared up. 

"You named her- named her- after my sister?" He choked out, tears freely falling down his cheeks. 

Mom nodded tears in her eyes too. Bianca and Zoe were like big sisters for all of us. Mom adored them. In her heart, she might be thinking it was the least she could do. Nico never looked that happy. 

"Thank you, thank you, Aunt." He said as he went forward to hug her. We stood there watching the exchange with wide smiles on our faces.

"Who are they?" I heard Annabeth asking Thalia. Thalia replied and Annabeth nodded her head sadly. 

Will walked forward and hugged Nico. Nico sobbed into Will's shirt. 

"Okay, okay. Enough of this sobbing. I want to hold her!" Leo said as he walked forward and took Estelle into his hands. She started crying. 

"Now you woke her up, idiot." Cally chided as she took the baby, gently from his hands. She cooed at her and tried to make her stop crying. Hazel took her into her arms and rocked her. 

Mom watched them with adoration. Annabeth was lingering beside me, out of place. I nudged her. 

"Go on," I reassured and that was enough. She nodded and walked forward to the baby.  The guys stood uncomfortably with me. After Leo making her cry, they decided it was better to leave it to the ladies. 

Tyson was with the girls. He kissed Estelle's head and mom smiled wider. She was so happy. 

"Happy?" Paul asked holding her hand. Mom nodded with tears. 

Paul glanced at me and we both smiled at each other. An unspoken promise that we were going to protect our girls with everything in our being. 

But something in me was saying that we were being watched, but I shrugged it off thinking that I was just being paranoid. 

Unknown: 

"All gathered up, eh?" Ethan grumbled as we watched the encounter from the doorway. We were wearing nurse scrubs and no one even noticed that we don't even work here. 

"Yeah." 

"Why can't we just blow them all up now?" He asked. 

"Because," I said, rolling my eyes. It would be useless to explain anything because everything goes in one ear and out of the other with him. 

Kronos was still intent on spying rather than action. He's waiting for the right time. The right time never seems to come. Because they are always with someone. Annabeth, even though she was new, managed to get a crowd of friends and now we can't do anything without seeming suspicious. 

I was happy for her. I really was. But duty calls. 

We walked out of the building and I un-pocketed the walkie-talkie and talked into it. 

Within a few minutes, there was a limo in front of us. We climbed in and it whisked away to the headquarters, more like a hideout, of Kronos.

This was something I had to do. I had to prove that the Olympians weren't as pure as everyone thought they were. They were people who ignore their kids, who don't even care about their spouses.

I shake my head. This was a mission. The world will be a better place without them. 

oOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOooOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Okay. We had some emotion and Luke's back! What the heck is wrong with him anyway?

~Sad that she doesn't have chocolate in her damn house.
