A/N: [LAST OLYMPIAN SPOILERS]
Alright so here's a new story! This one's a PJO - one of those "10 years later" or "Family" stories. So I finally read the 5th book (WHICH WAS FREAKING AMAZING, by the way) and decided that I kind of needed to re-do this. Especially since Mr. Riordan decided to kill off Silena AND Beckendorf... and they had a VERY IMPORTANT role in the 'original' plot.
GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Ah, well I guess Katy Gardner will do.
Anyways, I thought this would be cute. This is probably gonna be a long one, because it'll span out through each of their kids lifetime (sort of). And yes each! Everyone gives them one or two kids and that's kind of boring... so they'll get three! Yeah may not seem as much of a difference, but trust me it is! Oh and it's a Percabeth obviously and there will be Percabeth moments in it throughout. So yeah. Here it is! Probably might not update this one in a while 'cause I've got other stuff to work on, but REVIEWS are really MOTIVATING!
:)
***Disclaimer: As Patrick Star once said
MY NAME'S NOT RICK!!!
lolz.
I'm Percy Jackson, age 19 and son of the Sea God, Poseidon, Neptune even, but I just call him Dad.
Enter in my pregnant girlfriend, her crazy mom and flying books and you have my life right about now.
By the way her mom's the Goddess of Wisdom - you might know her as Athena. I know her as the psychopath that wants to kill me (but I wouldn't say that to her face).
Which of course means that my girlfriend is the one and only Annabeth Chase. Yeah the one that's knocked up.
Why don't I start at the beginning?
--
You see, it was the 3rd year anniversary of the Fall of Kronos (take two) and the gods decided to throw this huge blow-out party on Mount Olympus. I should probably fill you in what happened after I saved the world, and what not.
Well, Annabeth and I started going out - like that wasn't obvious. Grover and Juniper got married about a month after the war, and then a second later Juniper got pregnant. I still find it hilarious that Grover married a tree, but their little tree goat baby Arby (short for Arbor, which means 'tree' in Latin) is even weirder. He's kinda cute though, when he's not pooping or whining. Annabeth is now 'BFFs' with Katy Gardner-Solace, who married Will Solace from the Apollo cabin. Oh yeah, ever since Annabeth and I got together, a whole bunch of demigods started pairing up.
Anyways, back to the party.
Why celebrate the third year, you ask? Well, three has always been a powerful number - 3 Fates, 3 Furies, the Big Three, etc.
So, here we were partying, dancing and of course drinking. Mr.D (Dionysus) had special permission to make wine just for this occasion. And well, if you've ever had wine hand-made from a GOD, you'd know why everyone went a little crazy on it.
And you can just imagine what happened after that.
I think I remember seeing Grover dancing on the table Athena was eating at. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I might've even saw Tyson puking in Zeus's cup. Yeah well, nothing beats what Annabeth and I did. I'll let you guys fantasize about that.
At least I learned something out of that little experience. The first thing: a 6 letter word that starts with "C" and ends with "M". Yeah, use one if your gonna have some... fun. Second thing? Never, and I mean NEVER drink more than 3 glasses of god wine if you don't intend to have.. more fun.
Anyways, this is how I found out I was 'expecting'.
Here I was, just hanging out with Grover, Nico and Tyson when all of a sudden I get this IM (Iris Message) from - guess who? Annabeth.
"Someone's in trouble" I heard Nico mutter as I kicked them out of the living room.
You see, I was supposed to be working on a resume for this teaching job that I wanted... well that's what I told Annabeth at least. Anyways, I turned back to where Annabeth was.
"What?" I asked dumbly.
"WHAT?! Is that how you greet the mother of your child?!" she yelled.
I was pretty much speechless after that. I think I was even drooling a bit.
Once the shock wore off a bit, I intelligently asked, "How?"
Yeah, real smart.. I know. I think if she could've slapped me, she would've.
"Oh my gods, Percy! I know your head is full of kelp and everything, but you must have some knowledge on how babies are made." She rolled her eyes at me.
I felt heat rise to my face as I recalled, 'that night'. "Oh... well... what now?"
After rolling her eyes for the umpthmillion time, she started listing a ton of things "we" had to do. Of course, being a Wise Girl and all, she always had a plan.
And me, being a Seaweed Brain, wasn't even listening. Until she mentioned we had to break the news to Athena.
So back to where we are now. Athena is yelling my ears off about how 'irresponsible' and 'foolish' I was of getting her daughter into this situation. Like Annabeth had nothing to do with it either. As far as I'm concerned, it takes two to tango. But I didn't say that to her face.
I said something more along the lines of, "It's not my fault!"
Smooth Percy.
Thankfully, Annabeth came to my rescue. "Mom, please. Calm down. It was an accident. If it makes you feel better, we can get married before anyone notices."
...
Huh?
"Um, Annabeth is that even possible?" Talk about a proposal. "Of course it is Perseus, but it'll have to be in the next month for it to pull off." Athena answered. And the two of them immediately started making the wedding plans.
This next month is going to be Hades.
--x--X--x--X--x--X--x--
"I SAID LILIES NOT ROSES!!!!" I heard Aphrodite yell at some poor daughter of Demeter. It was the day of the wedding, and there were still LOTS of things to be done. I fortunately got stuck doing balloon duty with Grover. Apparantly it was the only job (besides fountain duty) that Aphrodite trusted me with.
That's right Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, was our wedding planner. She's been obsessed with the idea of Annabeth and I ever since we were twelve, and practically threatened us that our 'love will die' if we don't put her in charge. According to her, we were the 'Modern Helen and Paris minus the tragic ending'. Anyways, the wedding is taking place at Camp, because she somehow managed to get the whole camp to help.
So flower duty was given to the Demeter cabin. Hephaestus kids were in charge of 'constructing the gazebo' and other things, Athena (and her kids) designed everything, entertainment provided by the Apollo cabin and Aphrodite put her kids in charge of making sure the bride and groom looked acceptable. Now Ares kids were the 'body guards' (not sure why we needed them, but Aphrodite said it was essential) and Hermes kids were given whatever else was left. The nymphs took care of food. And Chiron was the one marrying us off.
Yeah, you'd think we'd be ready with all of this help.. but of course there's always something that caused delay. This time it was something to do with the doves not knowing how to fly in right... To be honest, it would've been better if we just went to Vegas or something. But NOOOO, Athena said it would 'give away the fact that my precious daughter was unfortunately pregnant with a Kelp Head's child'.
Wonderful grandma she's gonna make.
--
So after everything was finally done, doves and all, the wedding finally was able to take place.
I was waiting nervously in my itchy tux, up at the front by Chiron and Grover, who was my best man. I looked out into the crowd, and couldn't believe how many people were actually there. Even the gods showed up, except for Ares who 'had business to attend to'.
Sure.
He's just still not over the whole 'stabbing him in the heel' thing, but like I cared if he showed up or not.
Zeus' face was impassive, which I'm guessing he only came since I 'saved Western civilation from total destruction'. Hera looked just as stern, but that's cause she's still holds a grudge against Annabeth. Dad had a sort of misty eye look, which was from crying. Though what I'm not sure about is that if those were tears of joy or sadness, because I was marrying an Athena's kid. Athena was glaring at me from her seat, so I could tell she wasn't happy about this. Aphrodite however, was definitely crying tears of joy, which she wiped with a red silk handkerchief.
Mom and Paul were in the front row. Mom being your typical mom, was crying about how her 'baby was growing up so fast'. I found this ironic, since she had my new half-sister Helena (Lennie) on her lap while she was muttering that. And Paul just gave me one of those 'Paul-ish' winks.
Then the wedding march started to play, and suddenly I felt like I was going to hurl.
But when Annabeth started walking down the isle, it was like the pegasi that were stampeding in my stomach, just flew away.
She looked amazing by the way.
So, everything after that was pretty much a blur. Except for the part where I got to make out with Annabeth - that was awesome. The look on Athena's face was priceless.
Now the reception is something I'll never forget.
If the party at Mount Olympus was wild, then I don't know how to describe this one. It all started when Grover attempted to booty dance, as the Apollo kids played "Umbrella" by Rihanna. Oh, another thing I learned - satyrs don't hold their liquor very well. I made sure I only had 2 glasses of wine that night.
Annabeth would never forgive me if I 'ruined the best night of her life'. So after the toast and dinner, I was on a strict Coke only diet.(I didn't trust the punch, after I saw the Stoll brothers hovering over it)
Memorable moments of the night:
Tyson accidentally kissing Clarisse after too many cups of punch.
Nico piggyback riding Michael Yew. (Which was hilarious, considering how short Mike was.)
Apollo singing (more like slurring) "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. It sounded more like, "I-hissssssed-uh-huuuurrrrl-n-eye-iked-it"
Hades catching the bouquet.
Katy Gardner sneaking off with Will Solace into the woods... if you know what I mean.
Athena 'accidentally' falling into my awesome 10 ft deep fountain. (I swear I had nothing to do with it... *wink wink*)
and the major event of the night...
Having Annabeth all to myself.
...
Ok, so that was kind of sappy, but what else do you expect from a 'Just Married' man?
A/N: Alright, so what do you think? I know it's been a while, but I had to wait for the 5th book to come out and then I had to revise this. So how do you like it?
Fly on,
