It was the day that Percy was both looking forward to and dreading at the same time. It was his wedding day. He got up that morning and Artemis and Athena were not in bed or the house. They had gone to Aphrodite's home so they could get ready for the wedding. Artemis and Athena had stopped dreading asking Aphrodite for help at this point.

Aphrodite had become a lot less annoying. She was no longer the pretty princess type that she use to be. Now once in awhile it came back but for the most part it was dead. She still enjoyed watching mortals fall in love and got excited when it worked but she was not as bad as she was before. She no longer interfered.

At first she thought she would hate not being able to interfere with love on Earth. However she liked it now. It was so much more fun just guiding relationships and nudging instead of using her powers. It was debated able of which of the three goddesses' was more excited about the wedding. The ones getting married ie Artemis and Athena or the goddess of love ie Aphrodite. The author would not make a bet either way for the record.

Now one thing that everyone could expect was for Percy to be nervous. They would not be disappointed by that hope or expectation. Scarlet was laughing at her dad's nervousness.

"Dad you faced monsters, Titans, angry gods, and other scary things yet you are scared to get married." Scarlet said and stared to laugh once more.

"I am allowed to be nervous Scarlet it is my wedding day after all." Percy said.

"I know daddy but I am allow to pick on you. I am your daughter after all." Scarlet said and it cause Percy to smile.

"You know she is right dude." Nico said. The group then went to the temple were the wedding was going to be performed. Nico was the best man. Ares, Grover and Norm would be the groomsmen. Scarlet was going to be the flower girl even if she was too old to be one at least she thought that. Annabeth was the maid of honor for her mother and Thaila was the same for her mother. Aphrodite was a bridesmaid for her sisters as well as Hestia.

This was all expected the thing the surprised everyone was Hera. She had volunteered to marry them. Actually Percy thought about it Hera's offer did not surprise him. Nine months after he had become the King of the Gods an interesting event happened.

Flashback

It was another big council meeting and it had ended with no fights. Hera stepped up and asked for a chance to speak. Percy nodded to the request.

"Everyone I wish to say I am sorry for my actions. My actions are and were unforgivable. I do not know how to make amends. I want to make amends for my actions. "She took a pause to gather her courage to speak the rest of the words.

"Since Zeus's death I have felt free. I feel different." Hera finished up. Not many in fact it looked like no one believed her.

"Hera please look me in the eyes and say you are sorry and wish to start over." Percy said calmly. Athena and Artemis wondered what there boyfriend was doing but they both figured he had a plan that only made sense to him and no one else. So Hera did.

"Ok I believe you. I have heard that you were once a kind and caring Goddess. I am glad to see she is back once more." Percy said. After hearing this, the other Gods started to forgive her. For some it would not be easy but that was ok with them. Later that night Percy thanked Athena and she asked what for.

"For advising that I do nothing to Hera and let her be." Percy said.

"I figured you could change her and make her who she was. She was not always mean to us she use to be a nicer Goddess. I figured you could bring her out again." Athena said.

"What made you think that?" Percy asked very curious.

"You changed so many of us. You got me and Artemis to fall in love with you. I figured if anyone could do it you would." Athena said.

"Why did you take that advice?" Athena asked for that had been bugging her.

"Your children have helped me many times I figured your advice would be better then there's." Percy said. The two shared a kiss and got back to their date which they were on it was a solo date.

End flashback

Hera as the Goddess of Marriage was going to bless the marriage and make it long and happy. After Zeus's death she became a better step mother to Athena and Artemis. She was not going to win step mother of the year, since for one no such contest existed and two she was not perfect but she had gotten better. (Side note does such a contest exist if anyone can find it please let me know.)

Artemis and Athena had put the finishing touches on. They heard a knock on the door. They opened it to see Hades and someone they did not expect to see it was Sally. Sally had already seen her son and got the items she left for him. She wanted to give them to her daughter in laws. It was the tradition. Sally was laughing at the stunned look on her daughter in law's faces.

"What did you think I was going to miss my son's wedding?" At this comment everyone started to laugh.

"I was able to pull a few strings and allow her to come back for a few hours. Percy nearly cried when he saw his mother. It was totally worth the effort." Hades said. Sally cleared her throat.

"Hades and Aphrodite I need you to live the room. This is a conversation only for Artemis and Athena." Sally said. Aphrodite just shrugged her shoulders and left the room. Hades was still scared of Sally so he did as he was told.

"Ok you two I wish to do a tradition that has been in my family for many generations. I wish to bestow upon you some gifts. Percy would have but now that I am here I am going to do it. These are the items I left for him since I did not figure I could come back." She pulled out two boxes and opened them up. Inside were one ring and a matching necklace.

For Artemis she had a silver ring with the matching necklace. Sally put the ring and the necklace on her. Athena had a sapphire ring and a sapphire necklace. Sally once again put the ring and necklace on. Sally smiled with pride.

"I ask that you wear them until it comes time for your children to marry and then give it to you children in laws. This will be the new and the burrowed." Both promised that they would do that. For the something old both Athena and Artemis had a small bracelet that had a piece of clothing form their mothers. It was a sad thing that this was all they had but it was good enough. Leto had not forgiven Artemis for killing Apollo. She did not come to the wedding. It hurt Artemis a lot but she was ok. (Yes there may be a touching moment later.) Athena's mother was dead. The blue will I am sure anyone can guess. Annabeth and Thaila came in and were shocked by the beauty of their mothers.

They knew their mothers were beautiful for that was a fact that no one could deny. However today it seemed to be that their mothers were just ten times as beautiful then before. They even commented on that which earned a blush form their mothers and a hug. Artemis's daughter's are ok with the wedding and were looking forward to it.

Athena's children it was a different matter. Her children could be spilt up into three different groups. The first group are the ones that fought with Percy and alongside Percy in the war. These children trained with him and so had created a bond of sibling hood. This group was happy for the wedding.

The second group is the ones that did not care either way but were happy that their mother was marrying. It would be better to say they were happy that she was happy to be getting married. The last group were the ones that were not happy that their mother was marrying. This group were the older ones and felt there mom should not marry but would not stop her due to fear or laziness or planning to destroy the wedding it was unknown.

So to sum it up most of her children were happy that she was married and a few did not think she should marry but would not do anything about it and that was mostly do to the fact that she scared them.

"Wow mom you are going to knock him dead." Annabeth said and Thaila agreed with her friend. Thaila was glad to have Annabeth in her life once more. After the announcement of the engagements and her actions afterwards Annabeth was accepted by the Hunters. Afterwards since she was confused about her life and what she wanted she asked if she could join them. Everyone was shocked by this really shocked.

Artemis was stunned she had no idea what to do until Athena told her let her join. Athena and Artemis were given the call that it was time to start the wedding. Both brides were looking forward to the wedding even if both were nervous.

Percy was at the altar and he was at peace right now. He was still nervous but the happiness in his heart overshadowed the nervousness he felt. He was really happy to have seen his mother. It made the wedding even more special. She even brought her blue chocolate chip cookies. That was the only thing he did not know how to make. (Thanks to Auto the Robotic Polar Bear.)

"So dude you seem to be much claimer right now how are you feeling?" Nico asked with a slight teasing voice.

"Yeah seaweed brain you are way too claim for this." Annabeth said for she and Thaila were at the altar waiting.

"Guys leave him alone. Nico don't forget we are getting married soon and Percy is your best man." Thaila said and it caused Nico to pale.

"I am really happy right now guys and before anyone of you ask yes I am nervous but it is overshadowed by my happiness." Percy said. Nothing more could be said since the music started to play signaling that the wedding was about to start and the brides were coming. First the youngest of Artemis's daughters acted as flower girls. Athena did not have any young daughters or any young children since Annabeth was her last child.

Lilly was the lead flower girl and her looks made Scarlet actually turn scarlet. Scarlet held the wedding rings for her father. Annabeth and Thaila held them for their mothers. After the flowers girls the brides came being escorted by Hades. They asked Hades to give them way since he was there Uncle. Hades as a result cried form the joy that his niece's wanted him to give them away. He also got blue pancakes that night since Sally was in a good mood.

Sally did not make the blue food for Nico all the time only on special occasions' did she make it. She did the same for Hades no matter how many times both asked and begged for it. So Hades had Athena on his left and Artemis on his right. Percy saw his brides for the first time in their wedding dress's.

Athena's dress was full length and had straps going over her shoulder. It was the traditional wedding dress and it was white. It had a small train that went to her legs. The veil covering her head covered it all. She was going for the pure bride look and she was pulling it off very nicely. She was stunning.

Artemis had a strapless dress but other than that it matched Athena's perfectly. Artemis preferred having her shoulders uncovered for it made it easier for her to fight and to use a bow. She was just as stunning as her sister. Scarlet elbowed her father since he was lost and staring into space at the beauty he was seeing. Everyone noticed that and laughed at Percy. This laugh broke the tension and the nervousness the brides and groom were feeling at this moment.

Hades got to the end of the alter and smiled at Percy. He placed the hands of his niece's into Percy's and rejoined his wife in the front row. Hera looked at her older brother and smiled.

"Brother do you give these two away?" Hera asked.

"Yes sister I do give them away."Hades said with true pride and joy in his voice.

"I also give my mom away on behalf of my sisters." Thaila said

"On be half of all my siblings I give our mom away." Annabeth said.

"I give my dad away." Scarlet said.

"I give my son away." Sally and Amphitrite said at the same time. Amphitrite was going to enjoy some of the mom moments at the wedding. Sally agreed with it. She wanted a dance with her son and daughter in laws and granddaughter. Amphitrite agreed to it. Both agreed to do the threatening and both felt it would be far more scary if both did it together.

We are gathered here today to witness an event unlike any seen in hundreds of years." Hera spoke.

"We are here for a wedding not just any wedding the wedding of the King of the Gods and his two soon to be wives. Yes I said two but everyone here already knows that." She finished with a pause and everyone laughed.

"As the former Queen of the Gods I am proud to say that two wonderful goddess's will become the queens and we should be thankful. We should also be thankful that we have a wonderful king." Hera took a pause.

"As the goddess of marriage I have seen many and mean many once more many marriage's." She took a moment so that everyone could think that she was really old.

"During each of them with the exception of a few I always felt that it would not last. However with Percy, Athena and Artemis it will last of that I have no doubt at all." Hera said and everyone had to pause to prevent themselves form crying even Hades which was scaring a lot of people.

"Now I am not the goddess of love but if I let her speak she will not stop so I will say this, the love that Percy has for Athena and Artemis and the love Athena and Artemis have for Percy is powerful." Hera said and the aforementioned love goddess agreed with that statement and she even ignored the insult aimed at her.

"Now it is time for the saying of the vows. Artemis will go first." Hera said and Artemis turned and faced Percy. She looked into his deep green eyes and spoke from the heart.

"Percy when we first meet I wanted to shoot you with an arrow." Artemis had to stop since everyone in the temple was laughing so hard.

"However time went on and I got to know you. You earned my respect when you risked everything to free me and when you earned Zoe's respect." She had to take a pause for this was getting hard for her.

"When Zeus was killed I felt free for the first time. You went out of your way to save my mother and to heal me. Since you have come into my life I have not thought about Orion whereas before I thought about him every day." Artemis said.

"Overall I love you. I love you so very much and I want to be your wife. I promise to love you and to always be by your side." Artemis finished up since she was done and she was close to tears. The author is also close to tears form this happy moment. The author needs a life.

"Ok Percy please say your vows to Artemis." Hera said. That was the plan Artemis would say her vows and Percy would say his to Artemis and then Athena would say hers and Percy would say his to Athena. Percy took Artemis's hands into his.

"Artemis when we first met I was not in my right mind. One of my best friends was kidnapped and Thaila was making me want to punch her." Everyone laughed at that even Thaila for she was annoying at the time to him.

"When I first saw you I thought you were pretty but I did not think too much on it. When I first saw you in your true form I thought wow she is beautiful." Everyone smiled at that and Artemis was having trouble not crying.

"After I became the King and we got to know each other I knew for a fact that I had fallen in love with you. I fell in love with your smile and your eyes the way they shine in the moonlight. The way you hunt and shoot. You are an amazing and wonderful goddess and I am thrilled that you want to marry me." Percy said.

"I promise to always love you and to never betray you." Percy finished and this time Artemis could not fight the tears. She threw herself into Percy's arms and hugged him and started to cry softly. After Percy was able to claim her down she stepped back and let Athena speak. Athena took Percy's hands in hers.

"Percy when we first met I hated you and wanted to run you through with my spear since you were my enemy's son." Everyone laughed at this. Percy was not at all uneasy by the fact that the first time he met Artemis and Athena they wanted to kill him.

"I never wanted to fall in love it was not my way. I wanted to be single and enjoy learning and mastering all knowledge. My children I did not even love at the time. I cared about them but did not love them and their fathers I did not love at all." She took a pause.

"However underneath my hate I felt some love for you and it was not until Zeus died was I able to feel it 100 percent. I love you Percy and I am so happy to be your wife soon. You have made me a better goddess and I am so thankful and happy about that." Athena finished her vows.

Percy smiled and started to speak. He did not need Hera to tell him he could say his vows.

"Athena when we first meet I was unsure what to think. I was confused and had no idea what was going on. When we started to date I was happy and I knew I was falling for you." Percy had to take a pause it was getting hard to speak.

"You call yourself a book worm and a nerd but that is one of the many reason's I love you. I love watching you study and seeing the look of joy on your face when you discover something new. I promise to always love you and to never betray you." Percy said the words and passion he spoke had Athena crying into his chest like Artemis did. Once he was done he placed the wedding rings on to their fingers and spoke with this ring I do wed. Athena and Artemis did the same thing. All three rings were a midnight blue diamond on a green band.

"Percy do you take Artemis and Athena as your wives?" Hera asked.

"I do." Percy answered with a smile on his face.

"Do you Artemis take Percy as your husband?" Hera asked.

"I do." Artemis answered with a smile on her face.

"Do you Athena take Percy as your husband?" Hera asked.

"I do." Athena answered with a smile on her face.

"Now does anyone have a reason as to why Percy should not marry Artemis or Athena?" Hera asked.

"One more thing they will be in a lot of pain if they do." Hera added. In answer Norm, Ares Medusa and a few others all drew weapons to prove the point. This was odd since they agreed not to bring weapons. Even if anyone wanted to object no one would with all of the weapons out. Seeing no one had any objections Hera spoke.

"By the power of the goddess of marriage I now pronounce you husband and wives. I also bless you with a wonderful marriage. Percy you may kiss your brides." Hera said and Percy was only glad to do that. Once the kissing was done the three turned to face the crowd.

"I now present Percy, Athena and Artemis Jackson along with their daughter Scarlet Jackson." Hera spoke with a true smile on her face. A flash of light was seen and the three fates appeared and as one they spoke.

"We now announce the Queens of the Gods. Athena and Artemis you are now the Queen's of the Gods. May your reign be long and prosperous." A beam of energy hit Artemis and Athena and they were the queens now. A loud cheer was heard and everyone including Percy bowed before them. After that the party started up and with the party came dancing and with the dancing came threats from Percy's mothers.

"I know I have threatened you before but I have to do it once more. I don't think you will hurt my son but it is my right to make sure. Now take care of him and take this it will help you and it is something only you two can make. I feel you are worthy." Sally said and Amphitrite had nothing to aid but her evil eyes.

Artemis and Athena looked at what was given to them and saw it was the blue chocolate chip cookie recipe. (Thanks again Auto the Robotic Polar Bear) Both were really thrilled at this. Hades had tried to threaten Percy but it did not work since Hades knew Percy on a bad day could crush him without much effort. The mother and son dance was wonderful and Hades took the place of father for the father and daughter dance.

Scarlet and Lilly were dancing together at first they were dancing near each other but when a slow song came on they started to slowly dance together.

"Scarlet can I tell you something and will you promise not to stop me until I am done for this is hard for me." Lilly asked and Scarlet nodded her head.

"I really like you and as in the like like. I think I love you but I am not sure. All I know is when I am with you I am happy my heart is beating fast and when we are apart my heart is breaking and I am sad." Lilly had to take a pause and Scarlet knew this so she waited and listened hoping her wish would come true.

"So I talked with my sister Thaila and she told me to just tell you how I felt so there it is. I want to know if we can go on a date?" Lilly asked and Scarlet started to cry and it gave Lilly the wrong idea.

"I am sorry I should not have said anything." Lilly says and walks away with a deep looking of sadness on her face. However she is pulled back and feels a set of lips on her kissing her. Knowing it is Scarlet she kiss's back.

"The truth Lilly is I know I love you. I always have. Daddy told me to wait until you were ready and I was ok with that. You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that you think you love me." Scarlet said and took a pause trying to control the tears she was feeling fall.

"I am willing to wait and yes I want to go on a date with you." Scarlet said with a smile. The two went to tell their parents the good news and they were happy for them. Percy did ask Aphrodite about the quickness of the relationship.

"I had nothing to do with it I swear on all my children's lives. I miscalculated on the speed of which Lilly's plant would grow." Aphrodite said and the party resumed full force. Percy said goodbye to his mother and other party guest before Scarlet was taken home to the underworld for the next couple of days. Later that night Percy made love to Artemis and Athena and the two stopped being virgin goddess.
