Percy's POV

It had been two months since I'd found out that I'd gotten Fortuna Pregnant. I'd told Apollo about that not long after I'd found out myself. Now since goddess pregnancies are much shorter than a mortal's she would probably have our baby any day now. Lisa would probably be having our twins soon too, considering that she's eight months pregnant now.

Lately, I'd been spending a lot of time with her and Fortuna. I'm sure I'd spent more time with Lisa though considering that although I care about them both, Lisa needed more help than Fortuna did since I'd been told that goddesse's pregnancies don't show as much or cause as many other symptoms as mortal's do. Basically, Fortuna had it easy compared to what Lisa was dealing with. That's why I'd ended up spending more time with Lisa. I was also still spending as much time with Apollo as I could, and I couldn't forget about my duties as a god either.

I had also kept visiting Olivia although she also didn't need as much help as Lisa since she wasn't having twins and she still had a couple more months before she is close to her due date. Regardless I'm busier now than I had ever been since I'd become a god. sure it was my own fault considering that I could have avoided getting Lisa, Olivia and Fortuna pregnant if I had just been more careful, but there was no point in dwelling on that now since it's not like I could go back in time and change it. Even if I could have done that, I don't think I would do it. After all, I'd known that I wanted kids for a while now, I just hadn't planned on having so many in such a short period of time. Despite that, I was doing everything I could to help Lisa, Olivia and Fortuna, and once my children are born I will do my best to be a good dad for them. The next week was normal, which was slightly surprising since Fortuna and I thought that our baby might come that week. We didn't have to wait much longer though, since it was the next Tuesday afternoon when our baby decided that it wanted to come out. I was there visiting her when Fortuna suddenly felt the pain of the first contraction. More soon followed, and I stayed by her side. I might not have been able to do much to ease her pain, but I did my best to encourage her. Her water soon broke so we knew for sure that her contractions weren't a false alarm.

Not long after Fortuna's contractions had started, the Roman goddess Lucina had come to help her. Lucina was a goddess of childbirth so she could probably do more to help Fortuna than I could. I was also thankful that it had been her who came and not Diana. Diana was Artemis's Roman aspect so if she had seen me there with Fortuna she would have no doubt put the pieces together and realized that I was the father of Fortuna's child.

I had talked to Artemis since she'd found out that I was dating Apollo, and I had managed to convince her that I hadn't changed much since I'd become a god. It hadn't been easy though, and the entire time I was concerned about how she might react. I was sure I had the right to be considering that in the past she had castrated men who did something she thought was wrong, and sometimes even just because they were men. Thankfully the conversation had ended well and I wasn't missing any important body parts.

For now, I didn't have to worry about her so instead I was focusing on Fortuna who was still in the process of having our baby. It seemed that giving birth was just as painful for goddesses as it is for mortals since she had been in a lot of pain. Now though I assumed that Lucina had done what she could to ease her pain since Fortuna wasn't screaming anymore. Now Lucina was just telling her when to push. After a couple more pushes Lucina said she could see the baby's head. After that, it wasn't long before I heard the baby's first cries and I saw Lucina pick her up. I had quickly realized that the baby was a girl. Lucina cleaned her up and swaddled her in a blanket before handing her to Fortuna. She smiled as she looked at our daughter. We had discussed possible baby names for a boy and a girl since we hadn't known the baby's gender. Now that we knew our baby was a girl I was sure we would give her the name that we had decided on for a girl.

Just to be sure I asked Fortuna, "Are you still happy with the name we chose?"

She replied, Yes,"

I replied, " I am too,"

Eventually, Fortuna passed our daughter to me so I could hold her. I smiled down at her. She would most likely be a minor goddess when she's older so she would be able to change her appearance if she wanted to, but right now, it seemed she would have my black hair, but her mother's eyes. Fortuna seemed to have fallen asleep, and Lucina had left a little while ago, so for now I knew I would be keeping an eye on our daughter.

I didn't mind, I planned to try and be a good father for Silvia, and my other kids once they are born. I had told my parents about Fortuna being pregnant so they would probably want to see Silvia pretty soon, once they find out that she had been born. We weren't sure, but if Silvia is a goddess, she might also have a Greek aspect. She probably would since Fortuna and I both have Greek aspects.

Fortuna and I had both thought it would be best to give our child a Roman name since we had both been in our Roman aspects when our daughter was conceived. That meant that our daughter was also Roman. I smiled down at my daughter, she had fallen asleep in my arms. I knew Fortuna had prepared a room for the baby, so I carried her to it and placed her in the crib. I wasn't going to leave yet, I would have to stay at least until Fortuna wakes up again. I will probably stay longer than that since once Fortuna is awake again, she will still need my help. Besides, if there was anything else that I needed to do I could just send another part of my consciousness to do it. Since there were some other things that I should do I did just that and sent other parts of my consciousness to take care of them. One of the things that I needed to do was check on Lisa to see how she's doing. It will probably only be a few weeks before she has our twins so I was sure she could also use my help. I knew I should go see Olivia as well since it had been a few days since I last checked on her.

Olivia's POV

A lot of the other people in New Rome had started to notice that I was pregnant, but then again it would be hard not to notice since my baby bump was big enough that it was pointless to try and hide it. I'm sure that some of the Legion Veterans were judging me, probably thinking that I was a slut, but I didn't care about what anyone else thought of me. During my years in the Legion, I had earned the respect of my comrades. At first, they had assumed I wouldn't be much of a fighter, although Lupa, and then the legion gave me a chance to prove myself. I had learned to use several different weapons, and I had fought in the last two wars. Due to that, I think most of the legionaries learned not to judge me too quickly.

I was finishing an assignment for one of my college classes. Once I finished that, I went to a store that wasn't far from my apartment to pick up a few things. Just when I was going to start walking back to my Apartment Annabeth Chase interrupted me. I didn't really know her, we definitely weren't friends, I knew that she had fought in the last two wars, but her actions since then weren't very heroic. For starters, she'd cheated on Percy. During the time we'd spent together he had insisted that I call him that. Due to that I only call him Lord Perseus when I'm talking about him to someone else.

Anyway, Annabeth and I definitely weren't friends. I tried to avoid talking to her, after all, I don't like her. Despite that, I ended up talking to her whether I liked it or not. "What do you want? I asked, my annoyance evident.

She replied, "You're pregnant,"

I replied, "Yeah so,"

she replied, "But you don't have a boyfriend, so you must have been sleeping around. A lot of people here think you're a slut,"

"I don't really care what everyone else thinks about me, and have you forgotten everything you've done here since you broke up with Lord Perseus. if I'm a slut, you're worse than me, after all, you've tried to hook up with almost every guy in this camp, it's just that most of them were sensible enough to refuse you. I'm sure that's worse than me sleeping with one guy a few times,"

She scowled, I was hoping that would annoy her enough to make her give up and leave me alone. Unfortunately, she wasn't ready to give up.

So she asked a question that I really didn't want to answer.

"If you've only been with one guy, who was it?"

I replied, "Why should I tell you that, who I sleep with is none of your business,"

Despite that comment, I was slightly tempted to tell her just to annoy her further. I knew the fact that Percy was the guy I had been with wouldn't stay secret forever, sooner or later, someone would find out. Either they'd see Percy and me together, or they'd find out after our child is born. If they didn't find out then, they would find out after our child becomes a teen, and starts to train with the legion.

Due to that, I was considering telling Annabeth just to see her reaction. In the end, I resisted the temptation for now and managed to end the conversation without telling her. Once I got back to my apartment, I was thankful that conversation was over. I knew Annabeth was exaggerating when she said that everyone in the camp thinks that I'm a slut. I doubt that all the Legionnaires who I had fought alongside for so many years had suddenly changed their opinion of me. I knew that there might be a few people who didn't know me well that probably assumed I am just a slut. My parentage doesn't help me avoid people thinking that either since to the ancient Romans my mother was the patron Goddess of prostitutes. Regardless I don't care what everyone else thinks of me. After I got back to my apartment I put away the few groceries I had bought, before I went and sat down on my couch. Moments after I had sat down, I heard a knock on my door. I sighed, stood up and then went to open it. my mood improved as I saw Percy outside my door. Once he came in we talked for a while, I mentioned my encounter with Annabeth, and he helped me with a few things. Although I hadn't planned on becoming a mother so soon, I had accepted it, and I was going to try and be the best mom I could. I didn't regret sleeping with Percy, if I could go back and change what happened the day we first met, I don't think I would.

I was surprised when I found out that Percy was dating Apollo, but I quickly realized I wasn't jealous of Apollo, so I was okay with them being together. Percy had explained that He and Apollo had an open relationship so they could still sleep with other people occasionally if they wanted to. During the time that I'd known Percy, I'd never developed romantic feelings for him. Sure we'd been attracted to each other right from the start, but our feelings for each other had never gotten any stronger than that. If anything we were just friends with benefits, really good benefits, so I am happy with our relationship the way it is.

If I eventually get involved in a romantic relationship, I'm sure both Percy and I would be okay with ending the sexual part of our relationship. I think we could just stay friends, after all, we would still have to stay in contact for our child. Despite that Only time would reveal what might happen to us in the future, but I did know that once our child is born we were both going to try and be the best parents we could. Percy had promised to do everything he could to help me, and I believed him.
