--The Start of a Family--(Greek){Years Later}

Seth raised an eyebrow that happened right in front of him. Kat be a police woman? No way in hell. Seth smiled as Connor started to laugh. Seth took the card from Kat's hand and tried to read it. Tried. Because Seth was dyslestic, it looked like gibberish. Seth set the card down on the small table attached to the bed. "Kat, are you seriously thinking about doing this?" Seth asked her, his green eyes growing worried. Seth would never live with himself if Kat got hurt or died.

Kat smiled. "I don't know, it would be cool," she said with a shrug. She took the card off the table and took a quick glance at it. She couldn't make it out very well. "We're barely making it by with just you working, Seth. And with another kid...I mean...Why not try it? I mean it's not like it's a job to be a teacher or anything else you know I wouldn't take up in. It's worth a shot." It could be fun, interesting and it was something Kat believed she would do well. It just took her a while to actually think about it..

Seth couldn't belive his ears. Seth shook his head. "No, no, no," Seth said firmly. Seth didn't want Kat to do something risky like this. Out of all the jobs in the world, Kat had to pick this one. "Kat, what if somethig happens to you? Today, you could've been shoot instead of me. That would have been worse," Seth told Kat, his voice shaking a bit. Sethcouldnt loose anymore people closet him. No, he couldn't.

Kat rolled her eyes. "Seth, I'd be fine." she promised. "You were the one shot, need I remind you and you're perfectly fine. Why are you so against this? You remember what we used to go through? It was ten times worse then the idiots of New York. You're always so paranoid about things. If you could, you'd never let me leave the house. Why do I need your permission to do something like this? Maybe I hate sitting at home all day taking care of a kid. You know how much weight I've gained since having Connor?" Kat didn't want to admit it, but she missed the action of being a demigod twenty four seven. Instead she was a parent 85% of the time, 10% a wife and 5% a half-blood. There wasn't enough going on in her life.

Seth shook his head. "Kat, no. You can choose any other job except this one. I can't let anything happen to you. If you got hurt, I would never be able to live with myself," Seth told Kat seriously, trying to straighten up. Seth cringed at the pain and slid back down. "Please Kat," Seth begged.

Kat sighed. Connor crawled out of her lap and curled up in his chair on the other side of the room. "Seth, what if I want to do this?" She said softly. "You wanted to be a doctor. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life besides be with you. I want it to be enough just that, but you know, with ADHD the boredom of sitting at home is terrible. But you wouldn't know that. And I know it's like sudden, that I just happen to want to do this all of a sudden but that's 'cause it was offered to me." Kat would have thought that Seth would have been glad about this kind of thing. Maybe she should have waited to actually talk about it. Kat should have pocketed the card and considered it later. Not in this state of health for Seth. Kat felt terrible now.

Seth shook his head. "Kat, no. I can't let you get hurt. Guns are totally different from what monsters use. I really doubt angry is going to use a sword against you," Seth said, pleadingly. Seth ran a hand through his blond hair frustrated. He just wanted te conversation to end. Could Kat not see how much Seth really loved her? "You are so stuborron," Seth muttered.

Kat groaned and put her head down on the bed. Seth was more stubborn than she was, Kat had known that for years. "What if I started to cry?" she asked, "Because I think I'm about to start." Kat was holding Seth's hand again. Kat wasn't going to start crying over a stupid job, everything was just catching up with her. She loved Seth too much.

Seth sighed and rubbed his head. "C'mon Kat, I can't let anything bad happen to you. What if you get shot and loose the baby?" Seth asked worried. Connor had already fallen asleep on Kat's lap. Seth smoothed out Connor's hair and smiled gently at the sleeping Connor.

Kat looked up. Her eyes were worried and guilty. "Don't try to guilt my way out of this," she muttered. "You're making me sound selfish and uncaring. I already told you my opinion and it beats out yours." Kat sighed and rested her chin on her and Seth's clasped hands. "I'm sorry. I-we shouldn't talk about this right now."

Seth rolled his eyes. "I will guilt you out of this. No way am I letting you have this job. You could be a teacher. That would be cool. You get sting break and summer off unlike I. How about it Mrs. Motega?" Seth asked smiling wryly, playing with Kat's hair. Seth almost wanted to laugh. Kat would be an....interesting teacher.

The way Seth said it made her hopes fall. Of course he would push for this even though Kat said to stop talking about it. Kat thought back to the many times she had freaked out on little kids for being annoying. That was just at camp and they were related to her. "I hate kids," she muttered. "I'm surprised I had one, let alone having more." she paused a second. Her thoughts drifted. She loved Connor and couldn't imagine their lives without him. She triwled his hair in her fingers. "Why would you even suggest that? We're dyslexic, my grades in school were terrible, heck, I didn't go to high school Seth. Do you think I'd make a good teacher?" Kat had been at camp since she was eleven. She never left and the most education she had gotten was from Bella, Izzy or Chiron. There was no way in Tartarus that Kat was going back into a school building unless it was for Connor or the baby on the way.

Seth rolled his eyes. He knew Kat would say that. "Noone said you had to teach little kids. It could be high school students," Seth said, trying to suggest some ideas earth sighed, running a hand through his blond hair. Helmer Kat would asking Seth for the job until he said yes. Might as well say yes now. "Fine, fine. You can do the job. But, if you get hurt, don't blame me," Seth said with a slight smile.

Kat was about to state, again, how shedidn't go to high school when Seth old heer to take the job. "Oh what's this?" she mocked. "Is this, Seth Motega, giving in to his wife? It can't be!" A man who must have heard Kat talk cackled from outside. Kat smiled. "Someone you know?" she asked with a smile.

seth rolled his eyes at Kat. "Yes, I'm giving in. Only because you will bug me till I die for this job," Seth said with a slight smile on his face. Seth rolled his eyes again at Kat. Of course she had to mock him. "Well, I guess we won't be getting the dog now. I mean, do you want a dog or this job babe?" Seth asked with a slight sly grin on his face. He knew he had caught Kat. Seth knew she would pick the job over the dog. But, it would be fun seeing her face in turmoil.

Kat rolled her eyes. "The dog is for Connor," she said in a duh tone. "The job is for me. You got the new kid." Kat pulled herself up onto the bed next to Seth. She was on his good side. Kat hugged him without trying to 'cause him pain. Connor sat snoring like his father in his little chair. Kat smiled.

Seth rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine. Yet, I don't see how the baby was my gift," Seth said with a sly smile on his face. Seth's green eyes looked over at Connor's sleeping form. He was snoring lightly and smushed up against the chair. Seth smiled again. Maybe Connor did need a dog after spending the whole day with his new sibling. That could get annoying espically if Connor had a baby sister.

Kat looked up into Seth's eyes lifting her head up off his chest. She put her hand on his chest and with her other she played with his choppy messy blond hair. "What do you want then?" she asked in a whisper. A smile spread across her face. She wanted Seth to be happy about this. They needed to figure things out as a family.

A sloppy grin was plastered on Seth's lips as Kat asked that question. His green eyes lit up a bit and his blond hair fell in his face as kat played with it. Leaning forward, Seth whispered two words. "Ice cream," he said before laughing a bit. Honestly, Seth couldn't remember the last time he had ice cream. He could't even remember what was his flavor as a kid. That was sad. But, the grin was still plastered on his face as he felt like a teenager again.

Kat smiled and sighed. "Me too," she said. "Ice cream sounds great," she leaned up towards Seth's grin and kissed him onthe lips trying to remember the great memories but not to live in the past. Kat wanted the best for their family and wanted them to continue and be happy. Kat never thought that she'd be having a fanily like this but she loved it all the same.

Seth smiled under the kiss, but kissed Kat back. Right now, life was great and perfect. Besides being shot, but perfect.

~~~Few Months Later~~~

Seth snored in his sleep. By now, it was summer and hot. Very hot. Seth knew Kat was due anytime soon. Seth was pretty happy she was having a girl. Seth didn't think he would be able to handle another boy. Seth did love Connor to death, but he could be bad at times. Seth rolled on his side towards Kat and smiled in his sleep.

Kat wasn't sleeping successfully. Her stupid pregnancy hormones were bugging her and keeping her up. The baby liked sleeping on the side Kat didn't. She was tired cranky and wasn't in the mood for Seth to role over towards her on the bad. "Move," she pushed his chest sleepily. "It's hot." Kat took the cop job a few months ago but stopped in mid spring while being pregnant wasn't safe while on the job. Partially Seth and partially the force had made the decision. But all's Kat wanted now, was sleep, and the kid wasn't letting her.

Seth mumbled something in hhis sleep and turned the other way. The past few months had been hell for Seth. Kat was always moody and cranky and sometimes annoying. Seth was actually greatful for his job. Seth muttered something and rolled back on his other side just to make Kat quiet. Seth yanwed and fell back alseep again.

Kat sat bolt up straight in bed. "Seth," she let out in a quicik breath. "Seth." she said louder this time and shaking his shoulder to get him awake. "Seth, my water just broke. Get your damned butt out of bed!" Kat rolled off the bed and pulled on a pair of sweat pants. She thrw a slipper at Seth. "Get up!"

Seth rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Sitting up, Seth saw a frantic Kat somewhat dressed. "Huh?" Was all Seth could make out. He yawned some more and rubbed his green eyes again. "Why's you throw a slipper?" Seth asked annoyed, rubbiing his head. First off, Seth wanted to know why Kat was up so early in the first place. seth's blond hair was sticking up in all dicrestions too.
