Pen

Percy had always been fond of his celestial bronze sword, Riptide. That lone fact would've never occured to Annabeth had she not see him twist the pen's cap, turning it into its trademark sword form then change it back to its original form just for fun many times in the old days. Pfft. Seaweed brain.

Although it didn't surprise her that the first thing that caught their baby boy's attention was Riptide itself (much to the father's delight), it worried her that the child would accidentally stab himself.

"Keep that thing away, Percy."

Percy grumbled before saying, "Yes, ma'am." He took the infamous pen from the little boy's grasp and felt hurt when the child's gray eyes watered.

"Aw, don't worry," he said, ruffling his son's hair affectionately. To his relief, the boy deduced his sobs to sniffs. "If it makes you feel better," Percy eyed the daughter of Athena who was giving him a skeptical look, "I'll lend Riptide to you when your mom's not looking."

"Percy!"

At the sound of his favorite 'toy', the little boy with mop of jet black hair and gray eyes clapped his hands and laughed in delight.

Annabeth shook her head in amazement. "You're impossible."

Percy grinned, "I love you, too."

The daughter of Athena couldn't stop herself from smiling.

See you in the next chapter! :D

Spoilers ('Cause I'm mean...;))

"Annabeth, I think you're already spamming their control system with emergency messages. Stop it." Her heart skipped a beat when she felt his hand cover hers. She hoped she didn't look like a tomato.
