I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the gods. I am not Rick Riordan or an ancient Greek person who started the myths of the gods. I am a fanfiction writer with an overly-imaginative brain.

As I said in the description (assuming you read it) this is a one-shot showing the events after 'Perseus, God of Natural Disasters'.

This will be a collection of short stories, showing various things, stories and characters.

Enjoy!

Percy and Apollo were trying to get some sleep since apparently their little angel (nightmare) doesn't understand the concept of night-time.

It wasn't going well, they'd got a total of 3 hours of sleep, not in a row. Broken into a few minutes each time.

The little screamer had started up again.

Percy tried to drown out the noise with his husbands steady heartbeat. Apollo was fast asleep, wearing soundproof headphones and probably listening to rain sounds.

"Maybe if I don't do anything she'll go back to sleep," Percy whispered to himself since Apollo was dead to the world.

Their daughter did not stop screaming.

Ah well, you can't get everything in life.

The loyalty god groaned and pushed himself off the bed. Landing on his back on the floor, hoping that would knock him out so he could actually get some sleep. He felt like he hadn't slept since he was mortal, and that was about 30 years ago! Or maybe it was 45? Time worked differently on him now that he was immortal, entire months just slipping by in the blink of an eye. He could never keep track of the time, never mind what year it was. If he wanted to know he should ask Apollo but he couldn't because Sunshine was busy sleeping.

That god remembered everything, especially everything embarrassing Percy did before he actually kissed him for the first time at that party. Ah the good old days when he didn't have a 1 year old screaming at him 24/7.

Take his advice, do not have an immortal baby. They sleep even less that a regular one and can scream twice as loud.

So don't, just don't.

You will feel insane.

You will go insane.

Percy had even taken his daughter to a mortal doctor to see if she was teething early. It turned out that she was not and was just taking after her parents.

By being very dramatic and attention seeking.

Or maybe she was taking after Zeus, after all he was Apollo's Dad.

Hopefully his daughter wasn't taking after Zeus that would be a nightmare.

Percy could already imagine a five year old Selena wearing a crown too big for her head, a lavish cape swinging from her shoulders as she sat in a throne of gold. Thundering about not getting to eat the last cookie and about the everyday problems of her life (hint, the problems include bedtime). Moaning on and on about not being allowed to eat sweets before dinner.

It would be hilarious and the comparison was really good. Zeus was a 5 year old. How did no one realise this before? Thats probably why he threw a hissy fit when his masterbolt was stolen. To be fair ol' Zuzu probably saw the Masterbolt as a chew toy.

Then again that comparison might be seen as offensive to 5 year olds.

By now Percy already had his adorable daughter in his arms. While he was thinking he wasn't just standing there with a stupid look on his face, he was multi-tasking.

Somehow.

Please don't ask how.

Anyway once he had his daughter in his arms he swayed with her from side to side.

"Hey Selena, whats the matter? Did you have a bad dream?" he said in a soft voice.

Selena of course didn't reply because she was only one year old. Despite growing quickly she was still quite young. She grabbed his finger and tried to eat it.

Percy let her chomp away at his finger. "Oh you cheeky rascal! Is that why you got me in here? To eat me?" he said dramatically making his voice higher go mimic surprise. He made his voice deeper, "Well then I'm going to eat you! Nom nom nom!"

Selena squealed in delight and started laughing so hard that her hair changed colour from pink to blonde.

"Do you want to go back to sleep?" Percy asked, Selena responsed by trying to bite his hand again. Percy tried again, "Do you want to come sleep in the bed with me and Daddy?"

Selena smiled but still bit down on Percy's finger.

"Do you want food?"

She ignored him. Holding his index finger with one hand and pushing his face away with the other.

"I hate to break it to you sweetie but I'm not food. I might look like a snack to some people but if you eat me thats bad. You don't want to be like your great Grandad Kronos now do you. No you don't! He was a piece of shit," Percy said, holding his daughter in one arm and going through the cupboards with the other.

"Sh- sho-" Selena tried to say.

Percy looked down at her, "Take your time darling, theres no rush." He went back to looking for something for the two of them to eat.

"Shit."

Percy's head swivelled around so quickly it cracked. "What did you say?"

"Shit," Selena said, testing the word out again.

Percy paled, Apollo would kill him. "Shit."

"Shit!" Selena repeated happily, throwing her arms out.

Yup, Percy thought, he's going to kill me.

* * *

Percy and Apollo decided, for some unknown reason, that Poseidon and Zeus should find out that Selena had said her first word.

Obviously they were asking for death. Not that Percy would ever though- he had a feeling that Triton would kill him if he did. That feeling totally had nothing to do with Triton threatening him at trident-point in a dark alleyway under the Sea. (If Poseidon or Amphitrite ever asks it never happened, they never met up and have no idea that alleyway exists).

So as of right now they were walking to the Garden of Pan to meet up with the grandparents.

Or in short, they were walking to their doom.

Percy had already been on the receiving end of a heated glare from Apollo once his husband had heard Selena's first word. He wasn't ready to die by lightning thank you very much. He liked his life quite a lot, even if his actions suggested otherwise.

Poseidon and Zeus were already there when they arrived.

Almost immediately Poseidon had swooped Selena out of Percy's arms, swinging her around while she screamed with delight. Or maybe terror... But judging by the smile on her face it was probably delight.

Hopefully it was delight and Selena wouldn't burst out with the new words that she had learned from her Dad (her other Dad, not Percy) when he asked, not very nicely, where she had learned the word 'shit'.

Unfortunately for Apollo, Selena had a knack for learning the words she isn't supposed to know.

It was funny though.

Especially when she looked at Apollo and said nearly perfectly, "Bitch."

Apparently she heard him when he was saying how the other gods would 'bitch' about it to each other. That the golden child of the Sun and the Disaster god cursed.

It was very funny.

Anyways, onto Percy's very young death at the ripe young age of 65.

Poseidon had stopped swinging his granddaughter around so she wouldn't coat him in her breakfast.

"Hey Selena, how are you today? Are your Dad's taking good care of you?" he asked almost as if expecting the one year old to give him a Shakespearian worthy easy of 'goo's' and 'gah's'.

Selena followed in her parents footsteps and didn't live up to the expectations set for her. Instead she booped him on the nose.

Zeus looked up and almost didn't scowl at the small adorable child. "So you can talk now?"

Selena looked over at him before looking over at her Dads.

Apollo nodded at her and Selena gave Zeus a small wave.

Zeus grunted, "You said she could talk, stop wasting my time. Actually get in touch when you're sure she can talk." He turned his back to them and began to walk away.

"Bitch."

Time stopped.

Percy paled and Apollo's smile fell.

All sounds of life around them stopped.

Silence encased them, blocking everything else out.

The only sound to be heard was the quiet noise of crickets.

Poseidon froze as Zeus slowly turned around.

Seconds ticked by in silence.

"What did you call me?" Zeus whispered.

Another painfully slow second went by.

The temptation to grab his daughter and run nearly overtook Percy.

Selena blinked at him, "Bitch."

Zeus snarled and stepped forward.

Poseidon quickly handed Selena to Percy, "Take the child and run."

He didn't have to be told twice.

He ran off into the wild garden with Apollo at his heals, leaving a thundering Zeus in his wake.

* * *

Thalia fell backward as the paintball hit her smack in the face.

Artemis grinned from behind her bush, "Thats ten points to me right?"

In response the hunter scrambled from the ground and released an arrow aimed at the goddess.

Artemis dived out of the way. While Thalia threw a 'grenade' which was really just a balloon filled with paint at the goddess.

Yellow splattered across Artemis' torso.

"Playing dirty now are we?" Artemis said looking down at herself.

By then Thalia had another arrow ready, "I will if you will."

Within a second, the goddess of the Hunt had mirrored her position. They both stood with an arrow ready to fly but both were still. Around them the rest of the hunters had stopped to watch. To see who would win, a goddess or a demigod. A demigod with daddy issues or a goddess with daddy issues. Sister or sister. The punk or the pastel-wearing-goddess.

Artemis grinned, "Is that a challenge?"

"That depends, do you surrender?"

"Never."

Britomartis popped up between them and blew loudly into a whistle. "Round 1, the winner is the best out of three. You can dodge but whoever lands the most hits wins. Start in three-"

Thalia and Artemis made eye-contact and nodded at each other. Not wavering in their stance.

"Two," Britomartis looked between the two with unconcealed excitement.

The two still didn't move.

"One." Britomartis blew on her whistle, quickly jumping out of the way. But not quick enough. She fell to the ground from the instant force of two high-speed close-range arrows with bags of paint attached hitting her in the chest.

Artemis laughed and walked towards her sister with her hand out, "Truce?"

Thalia grinned and grabbed her hand, pulling her closer. "Yes, want to destroy the rest?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

The two split apart and began to work on taking down the rest of the hunters.

The two sisters were very competitive, very good and with extremely good aim.

The rest of the hunters never stood a chance.

"Tri, Tri, Tri, Tri, Tri," Kym kept on nagging at him. Following her brother through the palace, continuously getting in his way so that had to stop and go around her.

"Shut up," Triton told her pushing her away by the face when she got in his way again.

"Why?"

"Not telling."

"Ooooo are you going to the surface?" Kym asked grabbing his shoulders and turning him around.

Triton crossed his arms, "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Now go away." He pushed away from her and went on towards the exit.

"Can I come?"

"Would you really want to come?"

"Why are you asking tha- you're meeting up with Thanatos aren't you?" Kym said sceptically.

"Yes, do you still want to come?"

"No thank you. I would prefer to keep my sanity intact thank you very much," Kym said, beginning to swim away.

Triton snorted and called after her, "You never had any sanity."

Almost immediately he had to duck to avoid being decapitated by an extremely fast moving disk capable of slicing through anything. Including fish bones- I mean neck, Tritons neck.

He couldn't show up to a date without a head now could he?

He swam away (this time with peace) and headed towards the surface. Towards Angel Rock- the rock that Triton and Thanatos usually met up at. Apparently some merfolk had seen Thanatos waiting for him or just relaxing out at sea and mistook him for an angel. Which was kind of funny because Triton thought he was an angel too.

Thanatos on the other hand just shook his head when he found out.

He swam on upwards and easily found the rock. Climbing onto it, he flipped onto his back and just lazed in the sun.

He was still early.

Laying here for a while won't do anyone any harm.

A small and familiar weight flopped down onto his stomach. At least the weight stayed on his stomach, he really wasn't in the mood to move or to attempt to throw the small seal off him.

He wrapped an arm around the small seal. "Hey Andy," he cooed, keeping his eyes closed. "Who's the best little seal in the whole world? Its you! Yes it is! You're the best!"

Andy happily yapped and flopped around; somehow managing to fall off his stomach.

Triton laughed as he pulled Andy back onto his torso. He held the seal gently while starting to hum a random song that had been stuck in his head for a while.

He wasn't even sure where he had heard it. But it had a nice melody. He had no idea what the words even meant, but they had echoed around in his head for long enough that the words just flowed.

For once, Andy was quiet. Listening to his voice and cuddling into his chest.

He continued singing the song with his eyes closed. He wasn't singing too loudly so no ships nor sailors sgould be drawn towards him, but still- he couldn't be bothered to care.

When he finished singing, Andy began squirming around and managed to fall again.

The waves were surprisingly quiet. It was nice. Poseidon had probably collapsed from the exhaustion that comes with their family. But eh, who cares. It was bound to happen at some point.

The soft sound of the waves lapping against the rock was soothing. Triton kept his eyes closed, enjoying the sun of his scales

"Your voice is beautiful."

Triton smiled at the voice, and turned his head slightly to the side. "You are beautiful."

"Are you going to get up?"

Triton opened his eyes and smiled up at his boyfriend, "You're pretty."

Thanatos returned his smile, "You didn't answer my question."

"I don't plan on answering it."

All Triton did was blink and he was in Thanatos' arms, being held as though he were a damsel in distress. He looped an arm around his Angel's neck, "Thanks for the warning Angel."

Thanatos grinned, "You're welcome."

Triton made a face at him, "Tha-"

Thanatos cut him off with a kiss. "You were saying?"

"Nevermind."

The two fell into the shadows, back to where they had had their first date.

* * *

Selena stood on top of the table and loudly cleared her throat.

Only a few gods looked her way before returning back to their conversations.

The three year old made a face and cleared her throat again.

Once again, nothing.

Seriously, how important was this stupid party, they had one like ages ago they don't need another one.

She took a deep breath, don't be mean, Daddy said to be nice.

But Aunt Kym's voice came into her head, So what if you're a little mean, if they give you a reason then you aren't in the wrong. Go mental little child.

Selena grinned and the few gods that had looked over to her quickly became concerned.

Selena decided to clear her throat once again. For good measure.

Only the few concerned gods looked over at her but not one of them made a move to ask her what she wanted. Disgraceful.

She took an even deeper breath than before and let all the emotions her small body could contain out in a single word.

"MOTHERFU-"

"SELENA!"

The child smiled, she hadn't got to finish her word that Uncle Hermes had taught her but she did get attention.

Currently Grandad Popo was rushing towards her.

"Hi," she said innocently.

Popo swooped her up into his arms, "What are you doing here?"

"I was playing hide and seek."

"Who were you playing hide and seek with exactly?"

"My problems, I was hiding," she said smiling up at him before yanking on his hair, pointing to the side. "Look food!"

"You've been spending too much time with Hades."

Selena barely restrained her smile, "Who's Hades?"

Poseidon raised an eyebrow at her, "My brother, your great uncle? The god of the Underworld?"

"Never heard of him."

"You've never hears of the Supreme Lord of Darkness?"

Selena couldn't contain her grin, "You mean Dede?"

Poseidon, being the responsible grandparent he is, nearly dropped her. "He lets you call him Dede?"

Hades popped out of his brother's shadow, "I was summoned?"

Poseidon screeched and threw the cloatest thing at his brother, "ZEUS' SAGGY TITS!" Then he realised it was just his brother, "Oh its just you." Then he realised he screwed up.

"Weeeee-"

He threw the child.

"Oh no."

Luckily, Poseidon was not going to be going to a funeral because the Supreme Lord of Darkness caught the childlike projectile.

He blinked at his brother, slowly and judgingly. "Did you just throw a child?"

Selena cheered, "Again, again, again."

Poseison gave his brother a sheepish smile, "Maybe."

* * *

Once Percy got home he collasped into his husbands arms. He was originally aiming for the floor but the blond himbo got in the way.

A true tragedy.

He couldn't knock himself out. The coffee wasn't working and he just needed the sweet release of sleep.

"What's wrong?" Apollo asked, his voice full of concern.

"I need to use the sleep."

"Then use the sleep," Apollo said, picking up his husband as his true sea heritage was showing. It was showing in the sense that he didn't want to walk.

He carried him to the bed and plopped him down without remorse.

"Oh piss off," Percy grumbled through the pillow because his beloved wouldn't turn down the brightness of the damn sun.

"What was that?"

In response rather than speak in english, Percy groaned- louder than the jet engine that was Zeus snoring.

Zeus really needed tl fix his snoring problem, it was the reason Hera kept finding out when he cheated. His snoring was a beacon and Hera was actually getting a good nights sleep before hunting him down.

Apollo sat down on the bed beside him, leaning against his back, "I didn't understand that, can you say it in English please."

"I need to sleep," Percy mumbled in Greek.

"Then sleep, I'm not stopping you."

Percy raised his head with his eyes narrowed before flipping onto his side and holding his arms open. "C'mere."

Apollo happily obliged, snuggling against his husband's chest while tangling their legs together.

Percy had one arm under Apollo's head and the other fell loosely over his back. His eyes were shut but it was obvious that he was still awake.

Apollo smiled up at him, "I love you."

"I love you too Firefly."

As both of them were drifting into sleep, they were woken by a soft knocking on the open door to the bedroom.

Percy opened his eyes and smiled softly at his daughter, "Hey Minnow why are you awake?"

"Can I sleep with you please?" she said quietly, hugging a small red shark teddybear to her chest, tears welling in her eyes.

"Of course you can darling, c'mere," Percy said softly, pulling back the covers and pushing his husband away slightly to make room for their daughter between them.

Selena clambered over them, handing Apollo her teddybear until she got comfortable in the pocket of warmth between them. She rested her head on top of Percy's arm and slowly drifted back to sleep. She hugged the small bear tightly against her chest and curled into a tight ball.

Her parents stayed quiet, listening to her breathing that was the only noise amongst the silence.

Apollo looked up at his husband, finding him staring at him. He noticed something that made him smile, "You're eyes are red again."

Percy smiled too, "I wonder why."

"Its 'cause you love me idiot."

"Where'd you get that idea?"

Apollo grinned as Percy yawned and pulled him closer, managing not to squash their daughter between them.

"Was I wrong though?"

Percy cracked a grin, lazily opening one eye. "No, no you're not."

Apollo managed to smile even brighter and closed his eyes. Snuggling against his family.

"Dammit Firefly turn down the brightness," Percy grumbled. "I'm tryna sleep."

Apollo laughed and Percy pushed him away lightly by the face.

"You're the one keeping us awake though," he said while getting comfortable again.

Percy closed his eyes and sleepily shushed his husband before finally falling asleep.

Apollo watched him for a moment before slipping out of the bed. Silently walking around their shared apartment checking all the windows were locked as well as the front door. With a click the nightlight in Selena's room turned off and Apollo slowly closed the door.

He walked back to the main bedroom and checked the window there.

He had left that one for last so that when he was done he could just slide back into bed with his family.

And thats exactly what he did next.

The end

This would have been longer but I think that you all have waited long enough for this so here it is.

There will be another one shot out in a bit that will be a collection of stories like this one and maybe the same length? I don't know yet.

Anyway, thank you for reading this!

Goodbye, until next time :)
