The Life After the Battle

Chapter 3

Sorry I've taken so long to update this. I would love to write more often but I always get sidetracked. Well, hopefully that won't happen all that often anymore. Anyways, TO THE STORY!!!

(Jason)

I'm not gonna lie, I was actually having a pleasant dream. Now, as you may know, that's quite rare for demigods. And what do you know, the one night I have a good dream I'm woken up, but my FATHER of all things? Now I know that I should be happy that I can actually talk to my father, but there are 2 reasons I'm not. First, he never talks to me AT ALL! Why should this be any exception? Second, I was cuddling with Piper, which we have actually never done whilst sleeping yet, and here he comes, barging into the room, waking
us up, and kicking her out.

I really didn't need this.

"So, how has my son been lately?" said the Lord of the Sky, Zues. It sounded like he actually cared, but of course I knew he didn't. As soon as he was done with the sentence he looked away, as to not make eye contact for more that a few seconds.

"Oh, you know, fighting battles that should be fought by gods, the usual. Oh, and we all almost died, like, you know, quite a lot. How's that for an answer?" I heard thunder sound outside, but didn't even flinch. The boat started to rock in the water, so I knew that Percy wasn't being to nice either. I just hope that Leo doesn't make Heaphestus angry, or we could all be stuck out in the ocean for good.

"You should watch your tone, boy. I may be your father, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you on the spot for mocking a god."

"Oh, and for a second I thought you actually cared. Well, looks like I was dead wrong." The sound of thunder was outside once again, this time louder.

"I came here to congradulate you on your successful mission in saving the world, but I guess it's obvious that isn't going to happen anytime soon, now is it?" I just nodded in agreement. To be honest I just wanted this to be over with so I could go back to sleep with Piper again.
"You know what, father? You never cared what happened to me before, why would you care now? And also, you chose a hell of a time to come and visit. Us demigods actually need sleep unlike some immortal beings."

The look on his face was enough to tell me that I was pushing it, and I took the hint. I stopped speaking. I never thought I'd be this lucky, but he actually left and allowed Piper to come back in. She didn't look angry at all, but more or less embarassed.

She came inside and sat on the bed right away. I sat down next to her. Piper's mother is the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite. I guess they had a little talk. I didn't even need to try to imagine Aphrodite saying something to embarass Piper.

"So, what happened with your mother?" I honestly didn't really want to know, but I wasn't going to admit that.

She mumbled something that I couldn't quite hear. When I asked her what she said, she spoke up just enough for me to hear. "You and I are going to have children by 20, Annabeth and Percy will have them at 19, Leo and Calypso will have them in 7 months, and Frank and Hazel will have them at 23."

Bingo, I was right, I didn't need to know. I would actually love to forget, but I was happy that I was destined to have a long future with Piper.

That chapter wasn't as fun, but oh well. I still loved it. Anyways, please comment.
