Percy pov

Taking in the scene in front or me I watched as, keira had a conversation with athena. I knew it wasn't my place to stay where I was, I knew they needed time to figure shit out so a piss pour,mother-daughter relationship doesn't continue to exist. Knowing for a fact that my own conversation with dad was quite.............................colourful?. So with a small salute to a knowing athena I slowly backed away as the goddess motioned her daughter to come into the palace. Watching cautiously from where I was, I seen keiras back muscles tense, before she swung herself around to look at me. As if asking if it were safe, and she'd come out ok, and really my only reaction was to give a nod and coax her into the house with actions from my desending position. as she took her slow steps Into the house with athena behind her I took that as my chance to leave and flashed away back to hestia, in hopes to get my now growing bottle of rage under control. In the mere seconds of my flash to the hearth where I latched my hand to hestias shoulder and took us to the training arena on Olympus. The next thing I knew I was in the middle of the room, my eyes darted over to hestia who had adela wrapped in her arms, with an unexplainable expression, or more a mixture of expressions mixed in. Worry, had to be the biggest, but right along side it was something else that I couldn't put my finger on. Before I could even try to figure it out, hestia ask in her familiar soft tone "Percy what happened" I was about to come to my answer when my thoughts drifted to what I was gonna say, I have thought about it over and over again, thinking about what I should do next, but everything never seemed to fit perfectly. So taking my shaking self, I hung a punching bag from a lower beam with a hook and grabbed the tape for my knuckles. The same question continued to run through my head and it wasn't the on hestia gave me, I honestly didn't know what to do, everything was going great and in a second it wasn't. Focusing in on my taped hands, I chucked the tape across the room before thrusting my hands up to a position in front of my face. Throwing the first punch, I packed everything I could into it, all the anger, the frustration, and everything else I had to give to make that God damn bag swing before I could even begin to feel able to talk. Well that was until hestias even softer voice came crashing through all the walls I had put up through the years, her voice was desperate to know what was wrong and I was desperate to let it all out but until now I didn't think it was a good idea, but like I said 'until now'. Throwing a faithful right hook, I spoke in a low voice "I fucked up, hestia" throwing another hard punch to the mid section of the bag I heard hestias smooth voice sail through the air "how so" without thinking I answered "I'm to much of myself for people to handle, if I act myself with the sarcasm and truthful comments and save the world aspects, I'm to much. If I try to stay low and out of the way it's frowned upon because I'm a leader" I ended my speach with a few hard slams of the punching bag, I could hear the chains starting to clang together, as I pushed myself to keep talking "I was myself hestia, I started making jokes and she wasn't ready for that, she wasn't ready to be steady, she wants me to take things extremely slow when she's the one moving at a fast pace" by the end I sent my last powerful punch, using everything from within me, only to send the punching bag across the the room. Coming out of my form I rested my hands on my knees as my eyes glared down at the floor as I tried to catch my breath. Hearing a few soft foots steps from my right, I tilted my head to see hestia walking over with a calm adela, when she reached me she pushed a hand through my mop of sweaty hair before saying "Percy you have to understand she has been without anyone for thousands of years her instincts won't change that quickly" breath out a long wait sigh, I stood up straight before taking a couple steps back before revamping my earlier comments "no hestia I don't give two fucks about her instinks I know that and I respect that, what I don't understand is when I was telling the hunters about a new kid coming into my life they assumed artemis was pregnant which I denied by saying 'not that I know of' meaning I had no fucking clue but that is what made her yell at me even after I made it extremely clear that mother was adopting" my rant soon faded out only to leave a stunned hestia behind in the dust. Slowly hestia tried to piece together the problem "so after you had the conversation with the hunters what happened" I sighed before flopping onto the ground readying myself for a long conversation "well she stood up and stormed away, I wasn't gonna let her do that so I ran after her and.........." as I reincountered the story I seen a new mixture of emotions flow through hestia nomally she was the happy go lucky goddess who made people believe in themselves now, she was a goddess right out of hell, she had looks to kill, her face was completely red and getting worse by the second as she spoke in a dark tone " so you're saying that because you told a hunter there mistress wasn't pregnant in a way they you both knew you would, she got furious and said you were going way to fast for her liking" without trying to provoke the angry goddess in front of me I nodded my head and tried to make her simmer down a notch before she incinerated my kid who was snuggled deeply in her arms "hestia please calm down a bit, I just need to figure out what to do and cool down a bit" visibly seeing her calm down made the hole situation much better, opening her mouth to say something, hestia was cut off by a familiar voice, you could hear the ruggedness within "I know what you need to do" turning my head slowing to notice a Greek God in the door frame "Ares what would you like" I said with ares lethal spin in my words. Without answering my question he says "break up with the cunt, if she is gonna get pissed over a simple thing like that than what to say she won't fucking do it again" with a shrug of his shoulders he made his way out only to leave me with even more thoughts in my head. He was right who's to say she won't do it again, why can't I make things better by not doing anything at all and moving on, but then again I love her so fucking much, I can't just leave her in the dust and make a break when shit gets hard, especially in the situation we are in now. shaking my head I already knew my answer even if I had my doubts.

So with one last sign of 'enthusiasm' I looked back up to hesitate who was glaring stiffly at the door ares left, I could feel the announce radiating off her as she soaked in ares words. The only thing that was holding her back from exploding now was adela steadily held in the crook of her elbow. So carefully standing up I laid a hand on hestias shoulder and spoke as gently as I could even angry still flowing through my veins "I'll fix it, everything will be fine, don't let ares get to you" I watch as she visibly relaxed under my words and recovered from ares very "helpful" words. But honestly my words didn't help me either, I had to fix it, and I knew I would........just how.......... I've been fixing shit for far to long but it was never relationships unless you count that deadbeat smelly Gabe and mom, really everything either just went together or fell apart and I was OK with whatever happened but now, now this was up to me, ugh I absolutely love having to choose. Pulling myself back to reality for the bijillionth time today I came to the conclusion that I'm gonna wing it like always, it seems to get me places more often than not as I thought back through all my quests that lead to me becoming a 'hero' and all. So with one final burst of I don't even know, I want say bubbles but that sounds no correct, I gently lifted adela out of hestia's arms placing her on my shoulder before taking to walking around the gym. I was kinda calming just to have her close to me knowing I wouldn't explode again but I could also feel the eyes drilling into the back of my head as hestia tried to figure what I was gonna do which was my best guess because what other problems did I have {other than ADHD, PTSD, teen dad, A DEMIGOD,} so turning back to her to answer her unspoken question I said " I'm gonna a wing it" her face morfed into one I'd take as amusement as she said "of course you are" I gave her a classy shrug adding the childish grin along with it, because honestly at this point winging it is a very very good strategy *kids do not listen to thissss bad advice^* all hestia could do was shake her head before i asked "how long have I been here" knowing I couldn't wait to long and I also had to think about keira who was visiting Athena............I hoped that turned out good. Hestia looked over at the Greek sun dial (is that what it's called.....is think it is but I'm not looking it up* and answered " you've been on Olympus for almost 4 hours but about 2 in here if that's what you mean" giving a small head nod, shifting adela to my other hip as I took a step to hestia pulling her into a one armed hug and kissing her on the four head before I announced "I should probably be going but thank you hestia it means alot for you to have my back........also if those two nimrod start fighting again, call me .....I do like to bash heads every once in a while" my cheeky grin pulling at the sides of my mouth as I released her and made my way to the door with an almost snoozing adela leaning on my shoulder making it sticky with drool, carfully bending down I picked up the diaper backpack that was thrown by the door and walked out with one last smile to hestia.

In the next few seconds I flashed back to the godly palace where I had dropped keira off hours prier, when the light cleared I took a glance atound , nothing looked out of place nor did I hear any shouting, with high hopes I walked up the steps of the porch with my internal fingers crossed wishing everything went well. Giving the very well known patterned knock, in five seconds as if athena had I don't know evaporated out of thin air and reappeared at the door because there she stood with her sharp gaze, which changed to one of a small smile as she realized it was me. With a welcoming gesture of opening the door wider and a small "come in" from her before she headed down the hall to what ended up being the library. As soon as I walked through the door I seen kiera curled tightly up with her nose in a book looking as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. Taking a few steps closer towards her chair in which her head popped up over the top of the book, eyes blazing with joy as she said "hi percy" in a chipper little tone. Smiling back with a "hey kiddo" I watched as she dunked her head back into the other world that her book gave. Glancing back at athena who seemed to be looking down at her toes with a frown draining from her slight smile she had before, so with my hero complex leading me I took the last few steps towards her before taking her shoulder and pulling her over to the side,out of hearing range for Kiera. I hardly had to say anything before she spilt the beans. "Athena wha- " "Percy what have I done, that poor girls life is ruined because I decided that just on someones brains they were enough to father a child, she was abu-" I couldn't listen to anymore of that sob story so I cut her off quickly "Athena shit the hell up" her eyes that were trained on her feet shot up in confusion "she doesn't need your sob story, she's a strong kid and ya you done fucked up, but you can at least try to be there for her now instead of leaving her in the dark once again" my words were harsh I knew that but I hardly care Athena had a hard time looking passed the brains instead of the whole picture which is what got her into this mess in the first place. "Your little girl will be fine I promise you, I will take good care of her in the hunt and make sure she is welcome like she already is but you need to stop" whipping away her now shedded tears, and putting on the face of a warrior she gave a nod and said "Percy you're right, I made the mistake, now I can't be sobbing over it I have to try and make it better, but that will start next time I see her, being as you're here to pick her up". With and of affermative I walked back over to where Kiera was still curled up with her book. Shifting adela to my other him as I crouched down beside her "hey sweet heart" I said lightly, her head slightly turned towards me and with a small smile I seen her eyes glance towards me but then back to the pages of the book, "we are gonna head home ok, I'm sure if you asked you could bring the book with you" in a second flat the book smack onto her legs and she looked up excitedly at Athena who nodded her head slowly in a silent yes. So with the least amount of josiling Adela I stood up swaying slowly as my little girls eyes closed and she leaned into my chest, taking my eyes off her for a quick moment I seen Kiera hugging Athena slightly with the book held tightly In her hands before she dashed off to the door, waiting for me to follow after her.

When I finally caught up to the little mongural she was waiting on the front porch tapping her foot as if she had been waiting forever, but the grin on her face said other wise, sassy little shit. So with an outstretched hand I latched onto hers and flashed into the lobby of the empire state building lucky for us the mist made it seem like we were there the whole time, so with our still latched hands we made our way out of the building and towards the truck waiting in the parking lot. Adela had all but passed out on my shoulder, on our short walk out to the parking lot. It was honestly quite cute, but the drooollll, gods curse the drool, it has got to be a trait passed down from dad, I thought quietly in the last few steps of us and the truck. Keira had taken to holding the book close with one arm and the other had still latched to me. Only letting go to open the truck door to hop in. Doing the same with the back door, I shoved adelas backpack over to the middle seat before slowly setting her Into her little car seat, strapping her in making sure she was a comfortable as a sleeping enfant could be, which likely wasn't much in that car seat but somehow I made it work, with a quick slam of the door I ran around the the other side where I hopped in as well. Sliding into my seat at epic speeds, and managing to stab myself with my own keys, I felt like we were ready to leave.  With a rumbling sound of the engine turning over and the shuffling click of the gear shifter we were off. Keira had her book sitting in her lap not looking as interested in it as she was before hand.

"How was you time with your mom" I asked as bluntly as ever after the silence had got to much for me to handle in the first 30 seconds of the ride. Glancing over at her I watched the small fidget of nervousness before she spoke "it was ok, we talked a bit and I found books" I could sense a but begin so I just stayed quite for the moment ".......but, Percy,she never.....she didn't tell me why" I knew exactly what she was refuring to when she said that "Keira, the gods...." I was trying to reason with my self to give a good answer so she knew they cared but they hardly did " Keira you want the truth, the gods, they're currupt, they don't think about others until it's to late, honestly they are starting to learn but it will take another big mishap to set them straight, but your mother. She had no idea" Keira nodded along as I explained, I honestly didn't want her to disrespect her mother but, respect is earned, I would rather know then be side swiped by the truth. "Your mom tho she does feel sorry, she had no idea, I know you want to blame her, gods I wanted to blame Poseidon so bad. But they only have a certain control over things" sighing Keira  nodded her head. I set my blinker as I pulled up the stop sign just a head as she started her next sentence "I know it's just,.....parents are supposed to be there, why can't-" her head dropped down a bit without finishing her sentence " I know Keira it sucks I know. But you aren't alone, you have me and the hunters, even Artemis and the other demigods. You won't ever have to worry about being in a position where you're fully alone and maybe just maybe we can be the ones to prove to the gods that we need them as parents" I said sounding like a philosopher but who knows. Taking another glance off the road towards Keira who had a small grin at the thought of being the one to do it. Relaxing at the fact that I made one problem fixed today, as my eyes traveled back to the road.

We were almost home, I wasn't sure if I was happy about that or dreading the fact that an angry goddess would be waiting for me, but with a steeled face I turned down the last couple streets. My mind running a mile a minute with a game plan while keeping a silent watch on Keira who had opened up her book once again and Adela who was still fast asleep, still drooling.  turning on the last street in which I know oh so well, I slowly crept down it not going to fast but also giving that extra 30 seconds to think which I mean didn't exactly help any it just gave me a few bad scenario's. With one slightly breathy sigh I turned into the next drive way, which just happened to be mine. As I pulled her into park and flipped the keys off, in the next second the seat belt was flying by my face and I was cracking the door open beside me as I hopped out. Circling around to the other side to grab my kid cause I guess leaving them in the truck is frowned upon. So with the down pat skills I have been using all week I pulled the door and once again looking down at the confusing straps that hold a child in a car seat, I angle my arms ackwardly around Adela, pinching the seat belt and giving it a small tug as it came loose. Reaching in a slow pulled out drooling girl, setting her against my chest, letting out a satisfactory gurgle. Looking to the side I seen Keira sitting on the console watching me with a small smile on her face before she crawled into the back as if it were routinely done and handed me over the diaper backpack along with our unneeded coats. Before hopping out she snagged her book before launching out of the truck onto the paved driveway. Shutting that door as well along with the click of the lock button we started our way in. "the girls are downstairs playing video games if you wanted to go join them" I said as we entered the house. Perking up as soon as she heard that she nodded her head before I coaxed her towards the stairs leading to whether the house had said everyone was. Setting most of the things in my hands down at the door way and kicking off my shoes, I made my way through the house not really having any direct just not wanting to go upstairs yet. I was about to just give in and go up, but hearing the creaking of steps behind me a swiveled around slowly see thaila standing there in all her glory, she looked a little worried, I knew why, she had like a sixth sense when It came to me and Nico she could just read us no matter what it was. "Hey thals" she gave a soft smile before asking "how was Olympus" sighing once again cause that was rough to "it was Interesting, I broke up a fight between Zues and Poseidon, dropped Keira off at Athenas and then went to calm down with Hestia, then when I went back for Keira I had to deal with and upset Athena I pretty much to her to get it together cause it won't help anything, today is just interesting all around the board" thaila gave a small chuckle but returned back to normal as she said " you know she hasn't come down in the last few hours, you gotta go and talk to her" "thals don't you think i know that, but it won't be talking, she'll be yelling or even screaming at me like last time, you know how good I do with that, fighting with you and Nico is different it's fun but with Artemis, whole knew territory I've stepped into, and I have no idea what is to far"I stated with grimace. Thaila knowing I was right nodded along, giving me a pat on the shoulder as if saying 'good luck buddy yer gonna need it' before trailing back to the down stairs, stair case where she came from. Glancing at the other set of stairs I took one deep breath before giving Adela a small squeeze before heading up to the war zone. Taking the steps kinda quickly, I slid Into adelas room swiftly walking over to her crib before I set her in slowly, kissing the top of her head before exiting. Taking another deep breath as I started off to my door just down the hall.

Finally my feet got me there, and I opened the door slowly as if it might slam back on my face. Quickly slipping in a shut it behind me, with a quick flick the wrist the water barriers we up keeping the sound in. I was about to look up to find where Artemis was in the room only to hear a mean a sin voice call from the bed "what finally decided to come back did ya" my first thought was ok, I see how it's gonna be. But cooling off Ina matter of seconds so I could reply in a normal monotone. "Ya I'm back, what did you think was gonna happen" it was almost as if she bit back a snarl for God's sake "I went to cool down, I thought you needed to as well" I said chasing after my first sentence. That didn't help either I guess cause she still had a pissed expression on her face. Scoffing she said "uhuh I'm sure that was the reason you ran off" ok at this point I was having enough "Artemis what do you think happened, my fiance wants to fight with me, for me being unsupportive or so she says, but she'd hardly give me any information on how I was unsupportive other than the fact that she was new at relationship stuff, so ya I walked away I didn't want to fight nor do I want to be mad" I said explaining from my point of view. Artemis started quiteing down "you see my point, if we are gonna fight there's a good chance I'll walk away when it gets heated cause I don't wanna fight with you, you want to talk it out sure I'll do that gladly" I was already frustrated and getting that off my chest made it so much better but I think Artemis would've rather been telling because she huffed out a breath with a small "fine" following it. With an internal  jump of joy and releaf before slowly walking to the other side of the bed, both giving her space from me *cause who knew I made people made* but also taking a load off, Because fuck me is has been a long day. So with a little more pip in my step then before I sat myself down shuffling around a bit till I was comfortable. I kinda felt like I was at a psychiatrist appointment because I was pretty much laying down while Artemis was sitting, back towards me, sitting straight up and down, with a stone face not showing much emotion other then frustration and probably a bit of anger, so with those observations aside I asked in a general voice "Artemis what's wrong" slowly she started to turn towards me, the stone face starting to fall, coming to the conclusion that I was gonna find out exactly what was wrong in a matter of minutes, I shifted to my body facing her *supposedly it makes people believe you're actually listening but so be it I did it anyway* I watched her closely as she stare absent mindedly at the middle of the comforter with wide-ish eyes before bearing herself back and answer quietly "Percy, I- I don't know how to do this" hearing her clearly from the close proximity yet still confused "you don't know how to do what" I questioned as caring as I could. With a tad bit of frustration she waved her gesturing arms through the air before explaining "Percy I don't know how to be that girlfriend, I don't know how to be the perfect goddess, nor do I know how to care for babies and small kids, I have no absolute idea what I'm even doing anymore. Before I had a straight path; then it flip, turned and went upside down *I have an unhealthy obsession with the fresh Prince of Bel Air*  but I have no idea what I'm doing anymore" I watched throughput as she started to break down, she was over whelmed and snapped I stead of talking it out, I couldn't blame her honestly I was over whelmed to. So scooching closer towards her, I curled myself around her back as I leant on my elbow, rubbing the small of her back she continued "I want this, I want to be with you and Clare and Adela, and I want the Sally and Paul popping in and out cause they care I just have no idea organize it and make it work and- Percy I have no idea what to do" with the last sentence I was sitting up against the head board Pulling Artemis towards my lap, running my fingers through her hair calming her down, "I know arty I'm stressed two and half the time I don't know what I'm doing" I tried to reason before kissing her head and burying my nose into her gorgeous long locks of hair as I hugged her close.

After a few minutes of sitting in silence i spoke up a bit "Artemis, next time you ever feel over whelmed, just let me know ok" with a short from the goddess herself  I changed the subject a bit "I have an idea" catching her attention immediately, as she wriggled out of my grasp a bit before looking straight up at me with those wide silver doe eyes of hers, with a raised eyebrow in questioning I started off "why don't we go down to the kitchen later tonight, and actually plan things out have a big conversation with everyone" looking up at me, the doe eyes still there as a smile graced her face before hugging me tightly once again and saying into my shoulder "thank you, but for now can we just stay her-" only to be cut off by a loud yell from the middle level of the house "daaaaaaaadddddd" with a small grin I rolled over Artemis and unlatching her arms beforing kissing her on the nose and saying I'm being summoned, can I take a rain check on that" as I scooted out the door calling down "yessssss my'ladyyyyy" really hoping this would be quick so that rain check would be sooner rather than later.
