Grandmother's Day

As Henry pulled out the letter from the next envelope, which was covered in postage, a picture fell onto the ground. Poppy picked up the faded photo from the ground and examined it carefully. There was a woman sitting in a hospital bed connected to many tubes and machines. This woman was smiling despite being very flushed and the hair around her face was plastered to her skin with sweat. As Poppy's eyes moved down and saw that the woman was holding a bundle of white blankets in her arms.

Hi Mom,

Since you and Paul are doing research for your new book deep in the Amazon, you guys have not heard the great news. Annabeth and I had our baby and you are officially grandparents. It is a baby girl weighing in at six pounds eight ounces and her name is Sally Thalia Jackson. Both Annabeth and the baby are going fantastic.

All right, I must admit that this isn't exactly the newest news and she was born a week before this letter was postmarked. This is the first time that Annabeth and I have been able to have a moment of relaxation without a crying baby. Mom, I have such a newfound respect for you: I always knew that you were the greatest mother ever, but I never understood how much trouble a child is. You deserve a Nobel Prize or even better Goddess-ship. Annabeth and I are having a heard enough time as it is between the two of us, I cannot imagine how difficult it would be being a single parent with a baby.

Annabeth is now telling me that I should tell you what she looks like. Well, she kind of looks like a pink alien with tiny little fingers and a squishy, bald head. Despite her odd appearance she has the most beautiful grey eyes just like her mother's. When she gets bigger I am sure she will be beautiful. I cannot wait for you to meet her.

Well, I hope you are having a great time in Brazil. I don't think I would be able to survive without the Internet or my phone. I still find it hard to believe that I spent all of my teen years without either one. We got your postcards and your care package should be en route.

Miss you so much, Mom

Percy

Poppy took a look at the photo again and started to recognise Annabeth with her blonde hair and striking grey eyes. Poppy saw the same grey eyes in the picture of Percy and Annabeth's daughter that Chiron had in his office. She had her mother's eyes and her father's nose and hair. Percy was right, his daughter did grow up to be beautiful.

A/N: Yay, a new chapter three days after the last update. Furthermore I was actually inspired to write this chapter unlike some of the previous ones where I was...uninspired. But I am very pleased with this chapter. Hope you enjoy.
