My thanks to Rick Riordan for characters this fun to write with

"Everything looks beautiful," Paul says taking his wife's hand.

"I want everything to be perfect for both of them. They've been through so much, but I can't shake this feeling like I've forgotten something or something bad is going to happen," Sally says nervously.

"Maybe you just can't accept letting him go," her husband says with a smile.

"I let him jump in the River Styx. I think I can handle him marrying Annabeth," she insists.

"Ms. Jackson," a voice calls from over toward the ocean. Sally uses her hand to shield the sun from her eyes.

"Tyson," she calls back to him with a smile. Tyson is now running toward she and Paul with his arms stretched wide.

"Ms. Jackson," he calls again with a huge grin.

Tyson puts his arms around Percy's mom as he drops to his knees, so he isn't towering over her.

"Look at you sweetheart," Sally says as she gives him a kiss on his hairy cheek, "You've gotten so tall and handsome." If you could see Tyson's cheeks through all that blonde hair, she's sure he'd be blushing.

"Tyson, you remember my husband Paul," Sally says.

"It's nice to see you again Mr. Percy's Other Dad," Tyson says pulling Paul into a big hug. Paul pats Tyson on the back once he gets his breath back. "Where's brother Percy?" Tyson now asks.

"He's in the cabin with Grover," Sally tells him pointing back up the beach. Tyson quickly gets back to his feet and heads that way.

"Tyson," Sally yells after him, "Tell Grover to stay away from the food until after the service."

"Yes ma'am," Tyson yells back.

"I hope I'm not intruding," comes another voice from were Tyson was standing just a few seconds before.

"Poseidon," Sally says clearly surprised by this guest.

"Yes, yes of course you are welcome," she continues.

"Paul," Poseidon now says as he extends his hand to Paul.

"Uh, yes, Lord Poseidon, sir," Paul says stumbling for words to come out as he wonders if he should be bowing or dropping to his knees or something.

"You may call me Poseidon," Poseidon says.

"Yes Lord… I mean Poseidon. It is an honor to meet you, again," Paul says still stammering a little.

"It is I who am honored to greet the man who has captured the heart of my son's mother," Poseidon tells him. The Sea God now turns his attention back to Sally, "I am proud of the job you have done with our son," he tells her as he kisses the back of her hand. Sally blushes both at seeing Poseidon again and because it's happening right in front of her husband, who she now takes a quick glance at. Thankfully her husband seems to be just as enamored with their guest.

"Percy will be so happy that you came," Sally now tells him.

"Nothing would have kept me away on this day," Poseidon says then the three of them stand in complete silence.

After what seems like forever, Poseidon finally says, "I think I would like to spend some time with my son before the ceremony."

"Yes, yes of course. He's in the cabin getting ready," Sally says and motions that way with her hand. Poseidon nods at Paul then walks away leaving the two of them standing at the edge of the chairs.

"Wow!" Paul says finally looking away from Poseidon and back to his wife, "Even I could get into that."

"Paul!" Sally says and pushes his shoulder.

"I'm just saying," he says then looks back up toward the cabin.
