Percy's POV
Athena and Poseidon walked in, a smile on their faces.

"You didn't invite your own father?" My dad said, his eyes twinkling jokingly.

"Nonsense. Invitation or not, we would come to see our grandchildren." Athena said.

"You're not angry?" Annabeth asked her mother. Athena snorted and rolled her eyes.

"I believe you love each other enough for my approval. Of course, I wouldn't mind if you two broke up." Athena scoffed.

"Now," Poseidon said, his smile lines crinkling as he smirked. "How about those grandchildren?" Athena and Poseidon held out their arms. Annabeth handed Charlie to Athena and Silena to Poseidon.

"Pretty babies, I must admit." Athena said.

"Yes, they have lovely eyes," Poseidon agreed. "Sea green like their father."

"Not this one," Argued Athena. "Charlie has grey eyes like their mother." Suddenly, Charlie reached out and pulled on Athena's hair, tugging her braid out and dropping the hair tie on the floor. Poseidon began to laugh. Athena glared at him then popped her hair back into place.

"Smart baby, that one." Poseidon smirked.

"Enough. I don't wish to argue with you in front of our children and grandchildren." Athena gave Poseidon another death stare. Poseidon cleared his throat.

"Some things haven't changed. Anyway, have you made sure the babies are healthy?" Asked Poseidon. Athena gave him a look of warning, like she was reminding him not to give anything away.

"Yes." Annabeth said casually then looked over at me as if to say Did you see that?I gave her a disguised nod.

"And you checked that they're healthy?" asked Athena again. Annabeth furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes. Is there any reason why they shouldn't be?"

"Just... Checking." Explained Poseidon. Athena cleared her throat. I grabbed Annabeth's hand. Whatever was going on, I didn't like it. Suddenly Annabeth tensed.

"Can we have the babies back?" She asked, reaching out her arms. Poseidon began to hand Silena back but Athena blocked his hand.

"You know." Athena told Annabeth.

"Yes," Annabeth said, her voice steely calm. "Give them back."

"I didn't wish this," said Athena. "But don't worry. They'll be back soon."

"What's happening?" I asked Annabeth. Annabeth didn't wait to explain and lunged toward our parents, who exploded in a shower of light, leaving Annabeth and I alone in our room.
==============================

"Tell me again what happened." Said Chiron, who was pacing his office in horse form. Annabeth's face was streaked with tears as she explained the whole story again.

"Where are they?" I asked Chiron and Annabeth. No one responded for a few minutes.

"We do not know." Chiron said.

"At all?" I said, beginning to get angry. "My dad did this?" I scowled.

"Well- Maybe. We do not know for sur-" Suddnely, Hazel, Frank, Jason, and Piper burst into the room, the girls' eyes brimmed with tears.

"They took them," Explained Frank, his voice cracking in pain. "Our parents took the babies."
