AN: And now here is the end. I'm sad to have it end but also excited as I can focus on new stories that I can plan and then put on here. Sorry about any spelling/grammar mistakes. Please, for the last time, enjoy…

Epilogue

Annabeth

Two Months Later

We got the invitations a week ago. Sally had told Percy that it had arrived in the post at her apartment and my dad said the same when we visited him.

The only difference was that in my envelope were two invitations, which means we have three altogether. It makes sense that they were sent to our old home since no one knows where we live now that we've moved into the apartment.

"Are you ready for a very exciting day?" I ask my daughter in a singsong voice though, of course, she can't answer me back with words. She gurgles back instead.

"You are? That's good because it's going to be a big evening and you're going to have a lot of eyes on you!"

"Are you excited?" Percy asks, coming into our bedroom. I know I asked if we could have separate rooms before but I was in labour then so obviously I was going to say something I didn't mean.

"Yeah, but I'm also nervous. We've only took her to a few public places and the school is going to be loud with the music and all the kids," I admit.

"We don't have to stay long," Percy says, walking over and laying down on the bed on the other side of Melody. He tickles her stomach and kisses her cheek.

"Good afternoon, princess! Did you have a nice afternoon nap?"

Melody gurgles again and pokes Percy in the eye. I laugh while Percy holds his eye and hisses.

"Oh, come on," I chuckle. "Your baby daughter poked you in the eye and you think it hurts? Never get on my bad side because you don't know what I can do. And, trust me, when I say that it will hurt more than a poke in the eye." I wink, letting him know I'm kidding… kind of.

"She is going to be a handful, isn't she? I can just imagine you two plotting to prank on me when she's older," Percy moans.

"You might want to shut up, Seaweed Brain. You're giving me some good ideas."

"Whatever," he yawns. "I'm going to go have a shower. My mom said she'll be over in a while to watch Melody while we get ready."

"Awesome," I say as he walks into the bathroom.

Sally arrives ten minutes later and as soon as I open the door she's tickling Melody and cooing over her. "Are you going out tonight with your mommy and daddy? Yes, you are," Sally smiles, lifting Melody in the air.

I don't think the smile on my face can get any wider.

"You like Nanny Sally, don't you?" I ask Melody as Sally hands her back to me. It's time for her feed, anyway.

I sit on the couch and lift my shirt a little so Melody can latch on to my breast. I wasn't going to breastfeed at first but decided I would when a nurse told me that breast milk is really good for the baby.

"Is she keeping you up at night?" Sally asks, sitting on the couch opposite mine.

"At first she was up every three hours and I had to pump milk so I could sleep when it was Percy's turn to get up with her but now she sleeps from around seven in the evening, wakes up for a feed every four hours. But we have to wake her now. She's lazy," I smile.

"Sounds like Percy," Sally replies and I laugh.

"What about me?" Percy asks, walking into the room while towel drying his hair, shirtless.

"Nothing," Sally says.

"Do any of you want tea or coffee?" Percy asks.

"I'm going in the shower in a minute so no thanks," I reply, adjusting my top when I've finished feeding Melody. I remember the first time I breastfed, I wanted Percy to leave the room because I was shy but he said that he'd seen it all already and I finally gave in.

I pass my daughter over to Percy and I kiss his cheek before leaving the room.

I strip off in the bathroom and turn the shower on. I look at my reflection in the wall-length mirror while the water heats up and I'm proud to find that my stomach is back to its size before I was pregnant.

I thought it would take me ages to lose the weight but all I did was eat smaller portions of food and take Melody for walks. My breasts, however, have grown and are a little sore from breastfeeding.

I hop in the shower and wash my hair with a lemon shampoo and condition before scrubbing my body from head to toe with strawberry shower gel. I quickly slide a razor over my legs and brush my teeth before turning the shower off.

I towel dry my hair and body before sliding my new silver dress that Percy had bought me over my head. It's strapless and only shows a tiny bit of cleavage. It flows out at the bottom and ends at the floor where diamonds have been sewn on.

I tie my hair back into a fishtail braid that goes over my right shoulder and apply a little make-up to my face. I slide the silver small-heeled sandals onto my feet before walking back into the living room.

The mesmerised look on Percy's face makes my face heat up and I try not to stare at him. He must've gotten dressed when I was in the shower because now he is wearing a back tux with a silver tie that matches my dress. He looks amazing.

"You look…" Sally starts, trailing off.

"Beautiful," Percy finishes and I smile.

"You don't look too bad yourself, handsome," I say. Percy's cheeks turn a light pink.

I tear my eyes off of him and onto Melody who has been dressed in a white dress that has little diamonds on the skirt part and a silver bow around her stomach.

I can't help but think that we all match. "You look beautiful!" I say, picking her up and resting her on my hip.

"Picture!" Sally squeals, pulling a camera out of her bag. "Get in there too, Percy."

Percy rolls his eyes but comes to stand next to me. He wraps an arm around my waist and smiles at the camera though his eyes are on Melody who is also smiling. The camera flashes.

"She smiled!" Percy exclaims.

"It was probably wind. I didn't feed her long ago," I reply.

"No. I'm positive that was a smile. It's a sign. She's going to be a model or something. How am I going to keep her away from the boys?" Percy asks. I laugh. "You have over ten years before you start worrying about that, Seaweed Brain!"

"Whatever, Wise Girl. Are we going to this thing or not?"

"It's a prom, Percy. And yes. We need to hurry or we'll be late," I reply.

"Do you have the bag packed?" Percy asks. I nod. "Diapers?" I nod. "A pacifier?" I nod. "A few bottles of milk?" I nod. "A bib?" I nod. "A change of clothes just in case she is sic-"

"Percy, we have everything," I insist.

"Okay, I was just checking," he says. I look at Sally. She looks amused.

"I'll see you soon," she says and kisses all of us before leaving. We follow soon after.

We arrive at the school in Percy's car that Paul gave him after he passed his lessons and got his license. "Are you nervous?" I ask Percy.

"Yep," he replies, popping the 'p'. None of our friends have seen Melody yet and I can't wait to see their reactions. I just hope Melody won't be upset when all the attention is on her.

"Let's go," I say and get out of the car. Percy lifts Melody into his arms and we walk towards the school.

"You have the invitations?" he asks.

"Yes, Percy," I sigh, waving them in the air.

"Just checking," he says. I roll my eyes.

We hand our invitations to a woman at the front doors of the gym. She must be a new teacher or something because I've seen her before. She eyes the baby, looking from me to Percy and the back.

"Names?" she finally asks.

"Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson," I reply. She opens the gym doors for us and lets us in.

My eyes widen. The gym has been transformed. There are beautiful lights hanging from the walls and many tables have been set up. There's a long table on the side, which is filled to the brim with food where we line up and help ourselves. There are disco lights lighting up the dark room and the music is loud. There are so many people here.

I look at Melody to see her reaction to all of this and I'm relieved to see that she's fine. She has a curious look on her face and she's looking around, trying to find something entertaining.

"Let's find the gang," I finally speak up, taking one of Percy's hands while he rests Melody on his hip. I lead them though the crowd, squinting my eyes to find the familiar faces of my friends.

It doesn't take long to find them and we walk towards their large table. There are two free seats that I guess to be for us.

"Are those seats taken?" I speak up when I realise no one has noticed up. They all turn around abruptly and grin widely when they see us.

"You came!" Thalia squeals and throws her arms around me.

"Of course I did. I couldn't miss the chance at seeing you, Thalia Grace, in a dress!" I reply and step back so I can take in what she's wearing. She is indeed wearing a dress and, of course, it's back and ends mid-thigh. "You look amazing!" I tell her.

"Me? Look at you! You've had a friggin' baby and you're glowing," she replies.

"That's a little over the top, don't you think?" I ask before turning to the others and receiving hugs off them.

"Look at her!" Drew coos and I turn to see her holding Melody. All the other's rush over to her and look at my daughter. Percy stands by my side and hugs me from behind.

"Maybe we can get one of them to baby-sit so we can have some alone time," Percy whispers.

"If I remember correctly I said while I was giving birth to out daughter that it will take at least twenty years to convince me to have another one," I say, turning in his arms.

"Well, you said that we would have separate rooms but that didn't happen. I though-" I cut him off with a kiss.

"No more kids until we're at least thirty," I tease. I'm only being half serious though I don't want another child any time soon. "That's my final offer. If you were the one having to go through the pain then we wouldn't have Melody at all," I say, pulling away.

"Is it that bad?" he asks in disbelief.

"It's worse. I heard that labour is the same pain as braking twenty bones in your body all at once though I think it's even worse than that!"

"We don't have to have another. I'm fine with just one," Percy says and presses his lips to mine.

More than nine months ago I hated the 'thing' inside of me. I thought that it was ruining my life. But then I realised that the 'thing' is Percy and I combined and that she's a gift not a curse.

If Percy and I got married (Imagine that! Spending the rest of my life with that Seaweed Brain!) And we were prepared to have an addition to the family then I would go through all the pain and worry again to have another child.

I better not tell Percy that though or he'll be proposing to me now.

Actually, that's not a bad idea…
