It was over. Champagne glass in hand, sitting in the middle of a long table next to Percy. Thalia by my side, thankfully able to get away from the hunt for one night and one only. Grover next Percy. Nico dancing with Katie Gardner because she and Travis were on their fifth break of the summer.

The had sun set over the hills, the sand beneath my casual flip flops was cool, the ocean was calm for the occasion, but it's god was no where to be seen. Neither was my mother.

Some people would be upset, but I was happy without their drama. My dad and step mom were here, and so were Sally and Paul.

It was a small gathering, music was provided by a regular cheap stereo. The folded up chairs from the ceremony were gone, replaced by dancing family and friends. People in cute little sun dresses and light colored shirts danced to the music and gossiped when they needed to take a break.

I reached over to hold Percy's hand. "Ever think we'd get here?" I asked.

"Honestly?" He started, "From the way we started off, almost getting killed more than once every summer, you living in San Francisco for a while, you getting jealous of Rachel, the whole thing with Ryan; of course I did."

I smiled and leaned in for a kiss.

"May I have this dance?" He asked.

"Really? A dance at our own wedding? Are you sure?" I said smiling.

The CD mix song changed to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Lady Antebellum. This wedding was far from the regular kind, we had literally planned it in a weeks time, only inviting our closest friends and not following traditions. No big dinner, hip DJ, big cake (just a Dairy Queen ice cream cake), beautiful expensive dress (mine is from Kohls), no first dance thing (we did have the father daughter dance though).

I rested my cheek on Percy's shoulder as the music swayed us back and forth. Everything was pretty much perfect, but the fact that I'm married still hasn't hit me yet.

Since we hadn't found a place to live yet, we're staying Sally's house for the night because Camp Half Blood didn't seem like the most realistic place to spend your half of a honeymoon. Well, staying at your mother-in-law's apartment with your husband's infant half sister isn't either. But I mean, it's better than coming back to hundreds of teenagers telling us how cute we are. Not that I'm bragging or anything.

Percy and I decided to raise Lacey until she was eight, then we'd let her go to camp. We agreed that Lacey was going to grow up knowing who is was, no matter how much danger it put her in, we'd work it out. Percy and I would defend her, and I had a very brief conversation with my mother a week before and she said she would put a protective barrier around where ever we lived, until she was old enough to defend herself.

As for Poseidon, Percy said they had shared an Iris message a while back and he was held up and had to deal with Triton and Amphridite before he could do anything involving Lacey.

Percy told me to look on the bright side of raising his half abandoned sister, it would be good practice for the real thing. That scared the crap out of me, but I assumed by that time I'd already be as used to it as I could possibly be. Good assumption right?

"What are you thinking about?" Percy asked me.

"Stuff." I replied.

"Stuff? Well, that's pretty legit." Percy said.

"I'm thinking about life after tonight, do all newly weds feel lost after the biggest night of their life?"

"Hmmm, well I've never been married before, so I can only guess that it has happened before."

"Maybe we're suppose to move on?"

"Moving on sounds good." Percy whispered.

That was it, moving on, forgetting the past, including Ryan, and everything that came with it that wasn't really worth it worrying about for the rest of my life. Starting over, truly. With a new house and semi family, and with work on Olympus planned to be finished in the next year, I should have a new job.

My husband of three hours leaned down and kissed me. And man, was it some kiss.

And so they lived happily ever after, short end chapter but hey, it's better than nothing. I'm finally done with this story which means I'll start writing another. Well I'm in the middle of it right now but since it's not that popular because, like this story, I've been hardly updating it so, no reviews. Check it out if you want, it's called The Move, a PJO crossover with Twilight, I'm so lame right? Haha, it's ok, not sure where it's going and I'll probably end up deleting it soon so I can move on to broader horizons. Thanks everyone for all the reviews, favorites, alerts, and just reading my story!
