The wedding of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase was, as Jason had guessed, hectic. It'd taken three years for them to actually set a date for the wedding, which was another year later. Jason suspected it was because they wanted a flower girl and a ring bearer.

He already regretted becoming one of the groomsmen. Grover, as the best man, and Thalia, head bridesmaid, looked like they were being tortured as they rushed to make sure everything was perfect.

"Jason!" Thalia called, somehow running over to him in heels. "Where's Percy and Annabeth?! We can't have a wedding without a bride and groom!"

"Percy's with Grover." Jason nodded to the beach, where the two could be vaguely spotted from the chapel hastily built near their little neighborhood. "Isn't looking after Annabeth your job?"

"I have a million jobs!" Thalia snapped. She ran a hand over her face. "Alright. Everything is fine. Just… go find Annabeth. And send Percy up here, please!" Jason nodded, almost afraid of his sister. She was very serious about this. Thalia stormed off, shouting for Rachel to follow her.

Outside the chapel, Annabeth was glaring up at the building. "I hate it," she announced.

"...But you're getting married here," Jason tried to convince her not to go on some architecture binge.

"No. I'm not." Annabeth crossed her arms. Jason never knew that Annabeth of all people could be so difficult. Annabeth grinned. Jason sighed. The wedding was in two hours and Annabeth wasn't even dressed. She was having crazy mood swings. "Okay, change of plans. Get Leo and Thalia. There's going to be a delay. I need blueprints─and pencils. Now, please!" Jason hurried back inside, grabbing his sister's arm.

"Annabeth's gone crazy and I think that she's about to do a last minute venue change." Thalia didn't look particularly surprised. Jason caught sight of a certain son of Hephaestus. "Hey, Leo!" he called. Leo shrugged at Calypso, jogging over to them. "Annabeth wants you─she hates this place and wants to change everything."

Thalia gaped at him. "We can't do that in two hours!"

"We could build an arch and send everyone to another venue," Leo suggested. "I could probably manage it, but then there's chairs and stuff. I suppose I could call some of my cabin down to help with that."

"So you're not a complete idiot," Thalia breathed, relaxing. "You're useful for something. Alright, Jason, go down to Percy and Grover and give them some random job─they can be on diaper duty!"

"Isn't Sally watching the twins?" Jason asked. "Also, they're four. They don't still wear diapers."

Thalia waved her hand. "Whatever. And let Sally take a break. I get the feeling that this wedding is going to end up happening a few hours late."

With a sigh, Jason hurried back outside. As he dashed to the beach, a familiar young girl called out to him. "Nice to see you've changed, son of Zeus." Jason stopped, smiling and briefly nodding to Hestia. She accepted this sign of respect with a gracious smile.

Now, Jason just had a bunch of other shit to do.

"Fuck." Annabeth furiously erased a stray mark from her blueprint. She held it up. "This okay?"

"It's your wedding," Leo replied, examining the schematics. "That's your decision. But─yeah. I can manage this."

"It's impossible!" Thalia exclaimed, marching up to them. "We can't move all of the furniture to the beach in half an hour! And Annabeth still needs to get dressed!"

"Maybe I can help?" Annabeth looked up from her blueprints.

"Hi, mom," she said, standing up, "what are you doing here?"

"I'm not going to miss your wedding, Annabeth. I suspect most gods will be in attendance, given your and Perseus' titles."

"How can you help?" Annabeth asked, instead of dwelling on the chance that Hera might be present.

Athena clicked her fingers. "There. The beach has been furnished and your arch has been created. Now, come. Aphrodite wants to dress you."

"What?! No!" Athena only smiled at Annabeth, pulling her away. Thalia followed and Leo stayed put, muttering about how he wanted to make the arch.

"Even I know not to argue with Aphrodite, Annabeth. Just be happy that she hasn't decided to spice up your wedding with a jilted ex-lover." Annabeth tried to imagine Rachel or Calypso objecting to the wedding.

She'd tear their heads off.

"Hey, mom," Percy said, kissing her cheek and plucking Silena from the floor. "You excited, Silena?"

His daughter smiled, giving him a sideways hug. "Hi daddy! Do I look pretty?"

"Beautiful," Percy agreed.

"I can't believe my baby is all grown up and getting married," Sally said, tears in her eyes.

"You raised him well, Sally." Percy turned around, grinning.

"Dad!" At some point in the past four years, Percy had forgotten that he was meant to be mad at his dad. Probably when Poseidon had showed up to the twins' first birthday, even though Percy had never told him what it was. And he didn't leave after a few minutes, either! "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to check up on you." As Poseidon said this, he fist bumped Luke. The toddler hurried to Silena, complaining loudly about the suit he was wearing. Poseidon smiled fondly at his grandson before turning back to them. "Also, your friend Nico asked me to tell you that 'it' is ready."

Percy almost fist pumped, but that'd be weird. "Alright, I am going to find Nico." Percy handed Silena back to Sally, hurrying out.

"Are we going to tell him that he's not wearing shoes?" Sally asked Poseidon.

"No," Poseidon answered.

"I heard that!" Percy exclaimed, jogging inside and pulling on his dress shoes. "Bye! Love you!"

It honestly wasn't hard for Percy to sneak by the women practically guarding Annabeth. That was probably because Annabeth had the same idea as him.

"It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding," Annabeth said, smiling at him. She looked radiant.

"Since when have we ever had good luck?" Percy replied.

"How many times have we survived on dumb luck?"

"Dumb luck? I always thought you got us out of those situations." Percy murmured, pulling her into a kiss. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you. You look very handsome." Annabeth played with his tie, fixing it in place.

"I got you something," Percy said. He motioned for Annabeth to turn around. He clasped a necklace in place around her. She turned back around, looking down at the singular grey and sea-green bead on the chain.

"A trident and an owl," she said, fingering the bead. She looked back up at Percy. "It's fitting." She leaned up to kiss him, but stopped right before she met his lips. "I'm pregnant," she whispered.

He grinned, his hand drifting to her stomach. "You're pregnant?" Annabeth nodded, her eyes slightly wet. Percy passionately kissed her.

"Are you two having a clandestine affair at your own wedding?" They jumped apart.

"Oh, hush, Piper," Annabeth laughed. "See you at the beach, Seaweed Brain?"

"Beach?" Percy asked.

"There's been a little venue change."

Honestly, nothing could bring him down.

The second Percy saw her, he only had eyes for his fiance. There was a bit of a difference between seeing her behind a dark building and watching her walk down the aisle, especially with their children in front of her.

It was as if the beach was void of life forms, except for them.

"Hey," Annabeth whispered.

"Hey," he said, taking her hand.

Chiron cleared his throat loudly. "We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase. If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace."

Nobody dared to move a muscle, for even the gods didn't want to deal with the joint wrath of Percy and Annabeth.

Chiron nodded in satisfaction after a tense moment of Annabeth staring the crowd down. "Percy─"

"STOP!" Gasps resonated through the congregation. Annabeth's hand tightened significantly in his grip. Lou was heavily panting as she skidded to a halt. Percy looked at Lou in shock. Why was Lou Ellen, of all people, objecting?! "I'm─I'm not objecting, by the way."

"Lou, what's going on?" Annabeth asked, relaxing slightly at that.

"Monsters─at the pine tree! I'd fight them off, but I'm using a lot of magic to keep them from breaking down the barrier." Lou seemed to be struggling to stand as she spoke.

"Who's there?" Thalia asked.

"The Minotaur, a few Empousai, two hellhounds and a gorgon. I think it's Medusa, but I didn't look."

"How long can you hold it?" Annabeth asked.

"Twenty minutes, at most."

"Chiron," Annabeth turned to him. "Marry us, right now. Skip the vows, just marry us."

Chiron, for his part, didn't look surprised. Only a couple of gods looked surprised, honestly. "

"Do you, Annabeth Chase, take Perseus Jackson as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do," she answered immediately.

"And do you, Perseus Jackson, take Annabeth Chase as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"You may now kiss the bride." Percy pulled Annabeth in for a kiss, smiling at her.

"Ready to go fuck up some monsters?" Annabeth asked.

Percy grinned. "Yes."

And that's how Annabeth found herself decapitating Medusa as Percy killed the Minotaur. Thalia and Nico were fighting off the Hellhounds while the other members of the Seven took on the six Empousa. At some point Clarisse came out and helped Leo, who was struggling with Kelli.

Honestly, she couldn't have imagined a more fitting wedding.

And, honestly? It was perfect.

(A/N Wow. I just ended a story on a happy note. Surprising. So, the end! I was going to have a little Order and Chaos scene at the end, but I don't care about them enough to do that.

I hope you guys enjoyed it because I certainly did!)
