Artemis pov

I put my head down not wanting him to see me blush I was thinking he would shake it off like other boys would but he did something totally percy jackson like I took a few steps toward me and pulled me into a hug I wrapped my around his waist and he put his hands fully around me my fingers lay on the small of his back and I felt him shiver I went to pull away when he held me tighted and said "hey it is ok that's just my Achilles heel I don't have it anymore but that's just a tender spot" I looked up at him I was stunned he just told me where his Achilles heel was if he still had the curse that single spot could kill him and he told me about it. He looked down at me and saw I was in shock so he leaned down to my ear and said "Artemis snap out of it I trust you with my life just don't tell Apollo he will indeed try and poke me with a sword" I giggled at the thought of my brother knowing his weakness then I realized I giggled i never giggle. That's when the door flung open and Apollo appeared and yelled "WHAT HAPPEND" that's when adela woke up screaming and crying and percys parents walked in. Percy ran over to adela and I followed hoping to help sooth her. He picked her up and rested her against his chest I put my hand on adela's back and rubbed it but she was still crying. Percy looked over to Apollo and said "oh i never did thank you for this" he looked down a little upset and said "sorry I have never heard artemis giggle I thought something was wrong" he looked at Apollo  and sighed "Apollo I have saved Olympus twice,I have only ever had one girlfriend when you know as well as I do that every girl at camp hounds me and she Is a goddess that hates men and could kick my ass and send me to tartarus for a second time so you tell me do you really think I would ever hurt her " he looked at me with realization in his eyes but he was still wery and percy went back to trying to calm down adela he looked back at Apollo and said "you want me to swear cause I will" Apollo looked up pleased "I swear on the river of styx that I will never intenshonally hurt artemis of any other girl for that matter " said percy "you happy now" Apollo nodded when he heard the boom of the swear being sealed. He turned back again to try and make adela stop crying and that's when he said "I think she needs to be changed" percy then walked over to the changing table he set her down and unclipped her onezie and began to change her percy was right as soon as she was changed she was fine she had stopped crying. Percy picked her up off the changing table and held her tight in his arms. I walked over and put my finger into her little had she grasped onto it for dear life I smiled at the thought of her needing me someday. That's when me and Apollo heard a boom I looked at him and back to percy and said "percy I have to go Zeus called a meeting but thank you for taking care of me" I gave him a hug and gave sally a hug and then I walked over to Paul he flinched a little knowing I am the 'goddess of hating men' as people refered me to and I said "Paul it is ok I won't hurt you" I gave him a smile and I gave him a quick hug and went to stand next to Apollo and said "will you please close your eyes" percy put his hand over adela and sally and Paul closed there eyes as we flashed away.

We flashed back and we were sitting on our thrown ready for the meeting to begin. That's when Zeus said "we have some business to bring to the table about artemis" I looked at him confused wondering what this was about he seen the look on my face and said "we have let you live as a virgin goddess for to long now you will either have to choose to marry or be thrown from Olympus and be faded"  I knew my answer instantly but I couldn't just admit to it "but father why is it a big deal I don't like men they are mostly pigs who sleep around no offense" Zeus nodded and said "non taken but still you need to marry or not and if you decide you will I will give you 1 month to find a suitable man or I will choose for you" I thought for a moment thinking I started to tear up but in raged at the same time and I nodded and said in in a shaky voice "fine father I will marry" then Zeus stood up and said "then I here by take your maiden hood vow artemis " and clapped his hands over his head and made a boom breaking my vow. that's when I broke down in tears. Everyone flashed out of the room except my brother and hestia they started to walk close to me but I flashed to the place I felt the safest I ended up on a couch crying then I heard someone barrel down the stairs. It was Percy he had he sword in hand ready to fight. When he saw me and my tear he capped riptide and ran over to me he pulled me into a hug he whispered sweet nothings into my ear until I stopped my crying and then he asked me "you wanna talk about it or no it will be ok either way " I nodded my head and sat up from percys embrace and started "my father took away my ma.. mai....maiden hood" I took a deep breath and stuffed a little and continued "he also said if I didn't get married I would be kicked off Olympus and faded but if I did choose to marry I had to find someone in a month or he would choose" I felt the tears trickle down my cheeks and percy pulled me in again but this time he took me in his arms and started walking up the stairs he went to his bed roim and set me down and said "I will be back in a minute you get comfortable do you want me to bring adela in or no" I shook my head head and said "No it is fine I just want to cuddle and go to sleep" he nodded and walked off I got cuddled into the blankets and waited

Percy pov

When I set artemis down I on my bed I could see she was still very up set so I said "I will be back in a minute you get comfortable do you want me to bring adela in or no" she shook her head and spoke  "No it is fine I just want to cuddle and go to sleep" so I walked out the door and down the stairs. I called hestia I need you and a few minutes later hestia appeared in front of me and said "what do you need percy" I looked at her in the eye and said "can you put a barrier around the house so the gods can't see through it " she looked at me with a questioning look but did it anyway "thank you hestia" and I gave her a hug and she flashed away. I ran back up stairs to where artemis was. She was still awake and her eyes were brimbed with tears. I laid down beside her and brought her close and said "I have a small surprise for you well actually 4 but anyway are you ready" she smiled and nodded "ok first I called down on hestia and she put a barrier around the house God proof may I add so no apollo second we have ice cream *ice cream appears* third I have movies that may or may not be chick flicks and last but not least my parents aren't here so there will be no 'awwws' in the backround" she smiles at me and cuddles in close eating her ice cream. After a few minutes I decided to put on a movie I got up and walked over to the tv stand in front of the bed I bent down and looked at the selection and said "what one do you want we seem to have lots of Nicholas sparks and such" I chuckled thinking it was a little funny that a guy has these movies but what ever. She took a minute to reply and finally said "the notebook please" I grabbed it off the shelf and piped it in and walked back to the bed as soon as we were settled I grabbed the remote and put it on.

////After the movie//////

It was actually quite a good movie even though it was romance it wasn't that bad. I looked down at her and she was almost sleeping so I decided to take her icecream away I snapped my fingers and it disappeared as easily as it came. That's when Artemis started shifting she looked up at me and said "percy what am I going to do I hate every guy in execpt you and Paul plus my siblings and cousins and I am not dating any of them,Paul is with your mom and you are you and will probably go after someone a couple milanaians younger" I sighed and said "well you see your quite wrong about one thing I wouldn't care if you were a milanion younger if you want that lucky guy to be me then I will be  artemis I will always be ther for you" Artemis snuggled close and brought her face to mine and said "then I guess it's your lucky day" she smiled wildly and unexpectedly kiss me like really kissed me not just a peck on the cheek. I returned the favor I kissed her back with more passion I ran my tongue along her bottom lip for permission to enter she let me in and our tongues mingled as I drifted off to go scout put the rest of her mouth. That's when she rolled us she was straddling me and kissing me passionately. I pulled her back and said "Artemis this is not how I do things you should know this" Artemis smile and leaned down to my chest after a little while she fell asleep I played with her curls while I thought about how the day went. Then I realized I was with artemis we were kinda dating I guess but at the end of the month we would have to change that though. After wrapping my mind around being with a goddess I closed my eyes and went off to sleep

I awoke with someone on my chest but not just anyone it was artemis.thats when I realized I have been crushing on her for a long time but never proceeded with it because I was with Annabeth. After that thought artemis started to shift on top of me and then her knee went right into where Apollo don't shine. I scrunched my face together and took a deep breaths as soon as I started that artemis woke up she looked at me with worry in her eyes and said "percy what's wrong" I groaned and said "your knee ahhhhhh your fucking knee hit me where Apollo don't shine holy fuck that hurt like a bitch" she looked at me with sad eyes and said "percy I am sorry please please please forgive me" I reached up to her and she flinched away from me so I lowerd my hand and said "Artemis I am OK that just hurt alot come here I won't hit you" when she heard those words she leaned back into my chest and I pressed her close not her knees of course. That's when i decided to ask artemis a question "artemis I have a question for you you can answer or not but I was just wondering" she nodded and I took a deep breath and asked "is the reason you hate men because you were abused by one" she looked at me mortified after a few minutes artemis looked up at me and said "yes when I was young the laws were different we could be with humans as long as no marriage was involved or if it gave away our idenitiy we were also not allowed to use our powers against them she let out a breath and started to speak "I started dating this man named emmett he was really nice at the start but wanted more out of me but I wasn't ready but he pressured me into it and tried to take advantage of me and hit me when i pushed him off I left him and went to mount Olympus and pledged to be a maiden for eternity because I never wanted that to happen again" I sighed and hugged artemis close and said "it is ok I got you I would never do that to you" then I spoke again "but to take your mind off this subject where are your hunters" she looked at me a little shocked that I would ask and said "at camp half blood" I looked at her and said "I have an idea how about we get dressed and get adela and flash there you can spend time with your hunters and I will hang out with the guys and then we go on a date" she gave me a giant smile and said "yes please" then she snapped her fingers and we were both dressed. We got up and walked hand in hand to adela's room I picked her up and held her between us I kissed adela on the cheek and artemis on the lips a nice soft kids for the morning. When we broke apart and I changed adela and artemis picked out her outfit for the day. When we finished getting adela ready we set her in her high chair and we brushed our teeth in the kitchen so we could watch her. After that I summoned breakfast I didn't bother with my hair and artemis's was ready perfect. I have blue pancakes artemis had sliver pancakes and adela had a bottle of warm milk. When we finished I wished the food away with a flick of my hand. I turned to Artemis after the foods was gone and said "I am gonna go pack me and adela's bags I am guessing you can just snap your fingers and your bag will appear" I said with a smirk and then she snapped her fingers and a bag appeared in her hand and then I yelled "I CALLED IT" she laughed at my comment. I turned around and walked over to adela and picked her up then I walked back to Artemis and said "arty can you hold her while I pack" she nodded and grabbed her from my arms. Then I turned around and took the stairs 2 at a time. I went to my room knowing my bag would be quicker to make up. I went over to the closest to find a duffle bag I pulled it out and started through ing random things in a few pairs of pants,shorts,shirts,sweaters and under wear. Then I walked over to the bath room and grabbed my tooth brush,tooth paste and deodorant I zipped up my bag and and went to adela's room.i went to her closet and found a diaper bag and a back pack. I filled the back pack with a lot of extra shirts,shorts,pants,onezie and sweaters, a sun hat because it was summer. Then I went to her diaper bag I packed a box of diapers and wipes I also put a blanket or two in there so she could be warm then I packed soothers and a stuffy just in case. Then when I thought I was finished I went down to the kitchen and packed the baby formula and bottles if we forgot anything I am sure arty could summon it for us. I walked over to Artemis who was on the couch holding adela I leaned over the back of the couch and kissed her on the cheek and said "are you ready to go" she stood up and nodded I grabbed the bags in one hand and artemis's shoulder with the other since she was holding adela. Artemis flashed us away.

We landed in the middle of the pavilion at camp half blood. I took adela out of artemis's hands. Everyone looked surprised at us coming but then all the hunters stood up and ran to Artemis she hugged each and everyone of then and she said "sorry for not coming sooner we had a council meeting and went to see adela" then they all looked over at me and adela and I heard an out burst of "awwws" that's when thaila came up to me and punched me in the face avoiding adela I looked at her and said "ok I am sure i probably deserved that but could you have waited til I let someone else hold my baby" she glared at me and said "how could you" I looked in confusion "how could I do what" she gave me another glare and said "how could you cheat on annabeth she did nothing to deserve this" I looked at her in dis-beilef and then I looked down and said in the smallest voice I could manage "I didn't cheat on her it was the other way around but believe what you would like I am not hurting anyone for my benefit I already swore it" I looked back up at thaila and that's when she gasped she realized I was telling the truth after all and she went to hug me but I stopped her and looked down at adela in my arms but she hugged me anyway just a little looser so adela couldn't get hurt when she let go she asked "can I hold her" I smiled and said "of course auntie thaila can hold her" she smiled at the name she had been given that's when the seven walked in with nico and will. They seen me and started running they all jumped at once and dog piled me when I finally got up I let them pass adela around amongst them. That's when thaila went over to annabeth when she was holding adela and scooped her out of her hands that's when Annabeth protested "why did you do that thals" she looked at her and smirked "I didn't think you should ruin percys life more than you already have " and walked towards me I looked at her and said "thals that was harsh she may have deserved it but still" thaila shrugged and handed her to percy. thats when chiron came up he looked at percy and then at everyone else and said "welcome back percy I am glad you could visit so soon i was starting to worry" I smiled and said "well ya I am here I was just a little busy with a new baby and everything" that's when Annabeth cut in and said "I gotta go guys I will see you later" and ran off with out a second thought. That's when chiron started asking questions "so how sally and Paul doing" I smiled and started answering all his questions while bouncing adela on my hip "there doing pretty good although I haven't seen them in a couple of days so" chiron frowned at me and said "why haven't you seen them did they go on a trip or something" I laughed at that I thought he had already found out " umm no actually I was under the impression that you knew but the Gods got me a house in new York to raise adela in" chiron looked stunned but smiled after a minute then he asked me "so what is the house like" I looked up at him and said "now your starting to sound like athena but it is just a normal everyday house it has 3 guest bedrooms and 2 baths a big kitchen and a living room I haven't really checked the back yard out yet but I am getting there" that's when I thought it was my cue to leave I didn't really want to answer anymore questions so I said "ok well I am going to head off to my cabin ok I will see you in a bit" but just before I left chiron said "hey percy a poseiden kid was claimed a couple days ago and is living there just a heads up" I nodded my head and walked off I had adela's back pack on my back and the diaper bag and my duffle in my hand with adela on my hip I reached the posiden cabin and through the door open and stepped inside I shut the door and heard a moan I turned around quickly to see people doing the dirty in one of the bunks I am guessing it was my half brother and a blonde from what i could see but I could be wrong the cabin was empty up until a couple days ago so I said "hey guys you wanna get dressed so your not butt naked in front of a baby that'd be great thanks" (can't you just hear the sass) I walked over to my bunk and put the bags in my hand on the floor then I took the arm that wasn't hold adela and took off one back pack strap then I shifted her to take the full think off and drop it on the bed that's when I realized I forgot her playpen that's shitty but I will just have to tell arty later. I pulled adela close to my chest so she couldn't see what was happening when I turned around even though she wasn't even one yet you can't unsee those things. I turned around and met the grey eyes of the blonde and I knew exactly who it was so I decided to say "oh you slum in it with my half brother now I see your going through the family tree" and with that I flashed out just to make an exit because I am like that.

I appeared out side the artemis cabin and knocked on the door to reveal arty herself she stepped out closing the door behind her "hey can I talk to you for a minute" I asked waiting to hear no but Instead it was "yes of course but can you please flash to my room so the girls don't get suspicious" I nodded she went back in and slammed the door I walked away pretending that I got yelled at and then flashed in her room. She was already waiting for me in there I sighed and said "ok 1) I just caught annabeth sleeping with my half brother in my cabin 2)  I may or may not have said something to them
3)my poor daughter had to witness that and
4) you need to Summon me a playpen please" she looked like she was about to pop throughout the whole thing until I got to the last part and she burst out laughing "i know I am an idiot right but still help me please"
She let out a giggle and she snapped her fingers and a white crib appeared beside me I put adela in it and walked over to Artemis before I could kiss her she said "but your my idiot" that's when I kissed her passionately but still in control. I could never loose control with artemis or else I would loose her trust. I pulled away from artemis and said "are we still on for that date while we are here I think capture the flag is tonight so how about tomorrow" she smile brightly and nodded profusely and said " I would love to percy" then I looked at the crib and said "how am I supposed to get this back to my cabin unless you want me to stay here" she gave a little smirk so I just left it and said "it doesn't matter we will deal with it later I am going to hangout with the gang if you need  me just call my name i will hear you ok" she had a look her face that said how unlikely it was that I could hear her yell but she shrugged it off and nodded. So I grabbed adela out of the crib and walked off to bunker 9 but I came across a big crowd of people so I decided to check it out I seen all the seven standing there. Their faces looked furius but when they saw me their eyes saddened walked over to them and when I was standing there I realized who was talking to everyone it was my new half brother I could hear everybody whispering 'omg look jake is soo hot' 'he is so much better than percy'and so on I didn't really care because I was dating a Greek goddess but this little conversation interested me " oh look who we have here the man whore the guy that cheated on Annabeth and who now has a baby that is probably product of cheating" see if he would have just insulted me I would have been fine with it but he insulted my daughter which was a low blow. That's when Annabeth came out and stood with him so I decided to speak up " oh ok so you think I cheated then annabeth do you swear on the river of styx that your telling the whole truth about our relationship and cheating" I cocked and eye brow up and she gave me a glare and ran away I looked back at jake and said "well I think we know that I didn't cheat on her now what were the other things you said about me" he gave me a smirk and said " I am a better in battle than you are I could kill you in seconds if I was allowed" I cocked an I eye brow again and said " how many wars have you been in and was the one leading the battle because I have done it twice have you ever defeated multiple Titans and gaia because I have did you fall into tartarus for your girl friend so she wouldn't be alone and die or take Achilles  curse to keep her safe how many giants have you defeated along side Gods because I killed a fuck ton" I took a breath "did you defeat a minotaur when you were twelve with no training  or what about sword fighting with ares and winning at age twelve because I did those also. I also sailed the sea of monsters to get the golden fleece traveled through the labrinth  and held the weight of the world your talking to the world's most accomplished demi god whose been offered immortality and God hood and turned it down because if there was another war he needed to be there and not binded by laws I also turned it down for annabeth and you think you can beat me in a fight" he turned pale and started back away that's when I said one last thing " and if I really had gotten a daughter from cheating on annabeth don't you think I would have got her from a hospital instead of on Olympus. This baby girl is what is holding me to this earth and why in a million years would I cheat on the girl I used to love" that's when he ran away. I turn to the rest of the group with the seven behind me and said "anything else you gotta say about me cause I would love to hear it" in sarcastic tone instead of someone answering me they all went back to there activities. That's when drew cam up to me and said in a suductive voice "hey percy how are you doing" I smiled at drew and said "fine and you" I looked down at adela and she started fussing I pulled her close to my chest and started bouncing her to calm her down that's when drew spoke again "hey percy why don't you give ella to your little dork group and come with me to my cabin" ok that pissed me off no I don't fucking wanna go with you but I didn't say that "actually no I cannot that would be unfair and her name is adela" she sneered at me and walked away I turned back to the seven and said "wanna go to the beach" they looked at me with a little shock when leo yelled "HELL YA" we all started laughing and went our separate ways to get our swim suits. I walked to my cabin with adela on my hip i went over to my bunk and made a little barrier so adela wouldn't  roll off while i was getting my swim suit on. I set her down and went to the wash room I already had bathing suits in a cabinet so I grabbed my finding Nemo one and tied the string. I sent to the little mirror cabinet to grab the sun screen luckly there was also children's sun screen in there for any younger demigods to be claimed. But I grabbed it through it in a bag with towels I went back out to the bunks and grabbed adela's hat and through it in. Then since we are going swimming I decided to put adela in this little shorts onezie tank top thing so she stayed cool but didn't get cold either. I zipped up the beach bag picked up adela and walked out of my cabin and started walking towards the beach. I was half way there when arty saw me and walked up and said "what are you guys doing" I looked at her and smiled and said "me adela and the gang are going swimming you should come with us and bring the hunters" she smiled at me brightly and said "the hunters are training but I will go" I nodded and we walked off together. When we got to the beach everyone was there execpt annabeth.  I walked over and handed adela to Artemis and layed out the 2 towels I bought. I took adela from artemis's hand and sat down. I grabbed her with my free hand and pulled her down Inn the towel next to me. Everyone was staring at us. That's when i got a bright idea I leaned over and kissed artemis right on the lips and looked back at them. All there faces were in shock they had no absolute way to process this 'news' it was quite hilarious so I quickly closed my eyes and hoverd water above them and then I opened my eyes and watched as the water and ed on them and they snapped out of there shock and screamed "PERCYYYYYY" I looked at them trying to hide my smile "hey you were staring it was getting creepy" that's when leo spoke up and said "well sorry you just kissed a maiden goddess and didn't get desinagrated I would say that's something to stare at" I snickered knowing exactly what he ment but them artemis spoke "I am not a maiden leo well at least not anymore" everyone gasped and I said "well I do love this conversation but like we came here to swim and my little baby girl needs to like the water or I will punch dad " everyone laughed at me but cocked an eyebrow at the same time I shrugged it off. That's when Artemis snapped her fingers and her normal clothes were changed into a silver bikini bathing suit I looked at her in shock she looked absolutely beautiful but I shook those thoughts out of my head and stood up with adela in my one arm and with the other I held it out to arty she grabbed it and pulled her self up. We walked down to the edge of the water I sat down and calmed a 20 miles radius around us so nothing could happen to my little girl. Then I sat down and brought arty with me I warmed the water before I set adela down in it I didn't really care if she got that outfit wet I
could dry it easily. She started moving her hands in the water and the water moved with her then she kicked her feet and the water moved away to reveal the wet sand I looked up at artemis shocked she had my powers she could influence water that's when I stood up and grabbed adela before artemis could blink and twirled her around in my hands and yelled "SHE'S A FUCKING DAUGHTER OF POSEIDEN HELL FUCKING YA" that's when Artemis Stood up and hugged us both I kissed her and she kissed back  we stood the for a few minutes just embracing one another when hazel came up to us "hey perce do you think I could hold adela it's ok if you want to celebrate I don't have to" I looked at her and smirked and said "hazel if I am celebrating you guys are celebrating with me so of course you can hold her I wouldn't mind going for a swim anyway just please keep her safe" hazel smiled and took adela from my grasp and scampered off to where frank was sitting on the beach with a towel he brought hazel into his lap and held her and the baby. Then I turned back around to looked in artemis's amazing silver eyes and said "your coming swimming with me" I picked her up over my shoulder and ran into the water as soon as we were neck deep I pulled her close to me and kissed her then I sunk down into the water creating a bubble around us so we could breath I held her close to me and said "my daughter can influence water,I have an absolutely amazing girl friend who I adore,and a giant house to share with them how did my life change so quick from wanting to die to this " she looked up at me with a smile spreading across her face and she leaned into me to cuddle. I looked down at her and put my hand through her hair. But soon she started to frown. I noticed this and wouldn't let it go unnoticed so I said "Artemis what's wrong " she looked up at me and was about to say nothing when she looked in my eyes probably figuring out that I knew something was wrong and sighed and spoke "percy I have to be engaged by the end of the month how is that gonna work I can't pressure you into that it wouldn't be fair" I looked down at her and said "Artemis I wouldn't date anyone of i didn't think I would end up marrying them and anyway I have an idea you could always ask Zeus to expand the time to actually marry and say you just wanna make the right choice" she looked at me her frown gone and cuddled back into me I put my hands on her back and started rubbing small patterns and circles on her back making her relax soon she fell asleep and I decided we should probably go back now so I forced the water to prepel us forward til the surface that's when I picked her up in bridal style and walked out of the surf and forced the water from on us off I walked back to our towels and set her down in my lap I looked over to see hazel and frank sitting there still with adela a few towels over and looked and seen leo,piper and Jason all having a water fight so I decided to have a little fun from where I was sitting I closed my eyes and for used on a huge wave hitting each of them. Then I opened my eyes to watch the action the waves then dropped onto them taking them down with them. When the water was calm again they all came out of the water and said "really percy" and I nodded and grinned after a little while at the beach it started to get dark everybody started to go back to there cabins to get ready for capture the flag and hazel gave adela back awhile ago. We stayed a little longer and my girls started to fall asleep. It was just me and my two sleeping girls in my lap I curled my as around them protectively when I seen someone started walking  through the water when I realized it was my father I loosened my grip but held them close. My father walked up around sat on the towel next to me I looked at him and said "hello dad" he looked and met my eyes with a smile and said " hi percy I see you were having issues with your half brother" I nodded my head and said "well I did put him in his place but yes" my father looked at me and said "well I thought since you have a daughter now you would like a house of your own for at camp half blood and when she is older she can live in it when she goes here" I looked at him in shock of what was happening and he waved his hand and pointed soon a beach house started to aluminat in front of me it was like a little cottage but it was a beachy themed style it was light blush and had surf borad leaning on the side of it "thank you so much dad" I said with enthusiasm he looked at me and said "it will only open to those you wish to come in it is also pretected by an barrier so the Gods don't know about artemis but if you ever invade her space with out permission it will be the end of you because she and I will tag team" I chuckled a little at that and said " I would never do that artemis I love her to much" then I realized it just admitted loved her I blushed and looked down at both my girls I looked back up to my dad but her was gone. I decided it would be risky to try and carry them so I flashed us in the house.

When I flashed into the house I ended up in a little room with a king sized bed I set artemis down and walked out I found another rom it was a baby blue color with a crib in the corner I walked over to the side of the crib and put her in her the crib and tucked her in. I was about to walk off to my room and I realized all the stuff for adela I had brought was in her room I shook my had and mumbled "dad" and continued to walked back into my room I went to the drawer of the dresser and seen the were clothes in the my cloths that I brought with me so it was a score I grabbed a pair of jogging pants and under wear and went to the wash room and changed when I was don't I went to bed I crawled in and pulled artemis in close to me and she responded by nuzzling her self in farther and said "I love you to percy" I looked up in shock and then realized she must have heard my conversation with dad I leaned back down and to her ear and whispered "evsdropping are we now"

Artemis pov (arty)

I giggled and turned towards percy just realizing he didn't have a shirt I looked down at his stomach and saw he had an eight pack I pulled my finger down and started tracing them and looked into his eyes he was smirking at me and said "like what you see cause I do" I laughed and then looked down at my self and realized I was still in my bathing suit I started to freak out and not like an omg this is really happening it was more like a Oh no if I stay like this or here he will hurt me it will happen all over again. That's when i felt strong arms wrap around me and hold me still that's when I got even more scared then I heard him speak in a soothing voice "artemis I will never hurt you you're ok I won't do anything to you I will sleep on the couch if that makes you feel comfortable ok I love you artemis" I looked up artemis him and stopped moving and relaxed I pulled him in close and started to cry he grabbed me and pulled himself in a sitting position and held me in his lap he rudder my back and let my tears run down his chest. After a half hour I stopped crying and was just cuddling into his chest I was so tired from just crying that I floated off to sleep
