They say it's better to have loved then to never have loved at all but to I've someone so much that they feel that they are a part of you? That you are bound to them so close as though your fates are tied as one. As though neither can live without the other. Like soulmates?

Thats how I felt with my dearest Abigail. She was my love, my life, my beating heart, my soulmate but most of all... My lover. She is a part of me but afew years ago I lost her.

It had been 4 years since she passed away to heaven due to blood cancer though before that she and I had spend 45 years of our lives together, they were the happiest they had been!

I remember when we had our daughter Ellaina. She looked like a miniature Abigail, my little girl grew up so fast I found it hard to believe, right now she is in Egypt working as an archaeologist with her husband and her young children going to school...

Sigh, how time flies so fast. Sun rises and then set, day dissolves into night and time passes in a blur and our love grew with every beat of our heart.

Here I stand at the beach of where I proposed to my beloved. The sun was setting over the horizon, its beautiful light making the ocean's soft waves glow a soft orange. The cool breeze of a calmswimmer evening blew passed me and a soft scent of the waves and beach overwhelmed me as the night when our fates were entwined replayed in my mind like an echo of a beautiful melody, gone but not forgotten.

I was lost in memory lane when I heard someone clear their throat. I turned around tfinger two children about the age of 18 or 19. I know they are young adults but to me they are still children. The boy had messy raven hair and sea green eyes like the crashing waves in the beach, his arms were wrapped around a young girl with blond curly hair and the most beautiful yet intimating eyes I had ever seen that look like raging storm clouds with wisdom far beyond ones imagination but for now she had a sweet smile on her face like the boy next to her.

"Good evening sir, I'm sorry about my boyfriend interrupting you. It seems that you had been in deep thought." the girl said.

"Good evening dear, it's alright. I was just recalling my youth that's all especially my wife Abigail. She passed away afew years ago" I replied with a small smile.

"Sorry, I'm Annabeth Chase by the way and this Seaweed Brain here is Percy Jackson" the girl Annabeth said pointing to the boy next to her.

The boy gave a mischievous grin and said "But I am your Seaweed Brain, Wise Girl"

"And don't you forget it!-" "Yeah, or you'll kick my butt"

"You know I'll kick your butt" they teased each other playfully forgetting that I was there. I couldn't help but laugh. They reminded me of Abigail and I. They blushed and stopped.

"Sorry about that, sir" Annabeth mumbled.

"Oh, no need dear, my name is Marcus Cameron. Call me Marcus"

"Okay Mark..." Percy said but I interrupted him "Marcus. Only Abigail is allowed to call me Mark"

Percy grinned sheepishly "Alright, Marcus, what were you doing here? Not that I have anything against it that is..."

"Seaweed Brain, I think he has told us that he was here to remember the happy memories with his wife. Even you can't be so oblivious" Annabeth said with an exasperated sigh but there was a small smile playing on her lips.

"This is where I proposed to my wife actually. It's a wonderful place. The changing, so gentle yet so powerful like love" I smiled at them "But I'm not going to go all sappy on you"

"You proposed your wife here? That's so romantic" Annabeth said with a dear smile and I saw that the bot next to her patted the lump in his jeans pocket. The boy was going to propose to the girl until I interrupted them. My wife always aid I had the worst timing in the world.

"You kids enjoy your picnic, farewell" I said

"Good bye, take care of yourself" Annabeth said while Percy grinned. I patted the raven haired boy's shoulder and said "You look after her now, okay?"

"With my dying breath" Percy promised and at that moment I saw the love and affection in his eyes that does not develop through teenage hormones but from knowing one another for years, to know the deepest secrets about the other. They were soulmates. They are both two pieces of one being.

I brushed past them and walked ahead until I reached a safe distance and turned to see that they had sat their picnic and the boy knelt to the ground proposing to the beautiful girl. She laughed and tackle-hugged him as they rolled on the sand, laughing. As they gained composure they sat, full of glee as Percy slid the ring on her finger. They kissed, softly and passionately as a blessing escaped my lips.

"Bless you, Percy and Annabeth Jackson"

Like it? Hate it?Criticism accepted.

Sorry, my writing is a bit rusty these days but please cope with me. I might make more but with other pairings. Please review!
