Percy sat at the oak table in his new kitchen. With both Paul and his mum's salary coming in they had decided to move into a slightly larger apartment. While Paul and his mum finished unpacking the last few boxes Percy had come across a slightly smaller box of photos, he had taken them into the kitchen and was now looking through them.

The first dozen or so were all photos of him as a baby with his mum or sometimes just him, he couldn't get over how beautiful his mum looked, not that he didn't think that she was beautiful now, but in the photos her eyes looked stronger and she had only a few creases around her lips. He sorted them into a pile and moved on to the rest of the photos. There were a few of him and Grover before he found out that he was a demi-god. He placed them in a separate pile next to the ones of his mum. He picked the box up off the floor and placed it on the chair next him and peered in and saw that there were at least a hundred more photos. Not thinking better of it he moved the two piles to the side and pored the box's contense onto the table.

After over two hours of looking at every photo twice –at least- I made a small pile of his favourites and put the rest back into the box. Percy was glad there were so many photos because a good 70% of them had Annabeth in them. I took the pile of my favourites to his new room that was twice the size of my old one and got some blue tack from his draw. He stuck the thirty or so photos on his wardrobe with the ones of him and Annabeth in the centre. I stepped back to admire my work (and stare Annabeth).

"Percy honey? Can you come in her a second?" I heard my mum calling from the living room.

"Yeah, coming" I hastily replied taking the picture in the very centre of my display and looking at it as I walked. It was a landscape photo of Annabeth in an old fashioned padora hat, like the ones D.I inspectors wear in old black and white movies only it was bright pink, with her hand on the tip Michael Jackson style. You could just see the sleeve and shoulder of the tight black leather jacket she was wearing.

I reached the living room to see his mum and Paul and the sofa.

"Percy honey." My mother turned to face him as Paul did the same.

"Well…um…my…my family are coming… to…to meet you and Sally properly." Paul stuttered looking pleadingly at Percy. I didn't know why Paul was so nervous, I didn't mind meeting Paul's family at all, it might be a bit boring but he'd survive.

"And… seeing as they wanted to meet the Paul's hole new family… we thought that you should invite Thalia and Annabeth." His mother continued with a smile. I ran to her and hugged her as she laughed.

"YES! Thank you so much" I laughed and ran back to my room to IM Annabeth.
