It had been a long car ride. Poor Frank had to drive for thee days because Hazel insisted on not taking a plane because as she said the day after the war "I'm done with boats and planes". So here Frank was in the drivers seat driving up to what once was his family mansion. Over the course of sixth months it took the Romans and the children of Athena and Hephaestus to build. It was now almost nine stories high in a circle with a huge outdoor pavilion in the middle that could hold the entire legion and all of Camp Half Blood. But Hazel had a love/hate relationship with it. Hazel thought it was absolutely beautiful, but she hated the cold.
"How much longer?" Frank realized Hazel was staring at him.
"Like I don't half an hour." He replied.
Hazel shifted and put her knees up on the dashboard and sighed blowing a piece of hair out of her face. Hazel then grabbed her cherry Pepsi from the cup holder and took a sip. It had started out with Frank, Nico, Reyna, and the rest of the seven teaching Hazel about the modern world. Then it had gotten to modern day drinks and Hazel hated Coca Cola (much to the annoyance of Percy), she then started drinking Pepsi, but then fell in love with cherry Pepsi. They even gave Hazel Mountain Dew, but it quickly ended after a sugar rush.
Then finally after 45 minutes they reached the huge Demigod rest stop. It was a giant building with a fence around it that was made of silver, Celestial Bronze, and Imperial Gold. The gods had also helped by adding a weather protection spell around it. Then the gates opened and he drove in to a special only for the seven, Praetor, or centurion. The first thing Hazel unloaded was their Flame point Siamese, Leo. Frank had gotten Leo for Hazel after they found out she was allergic to dogs (not the deathly, but miserably kind) at first they tried every single type of allergy mediation, but easily gave up after Hazel got drowsy or she was allergic to them (Leo had made plenty of jokes) then she tried Percy's (which are specialized for him by the children of Apollo), but those just made her feel as she said "like crap".
But anyway Frank and Hazel had one of the bigger rooms. They had theirs in between Piper and Jason's and Reyna's. The room was more like a large apartment. It had two living rooms, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, and since they got the first floor they had a yard. The first living room was plain it just had a TV, some pictures, and 8 fold up beds along the walls. Frank and Hazel walked up the four steps the kitchen was to their right and to their left was a hallway leading to the guest room (where Nico would sleep when he came up with them which was very rare), then there was the guest bathroom that was straight across from Frank. Then across from Nico's was their room which Frank walked into. The walls were a navy blue color which Frank enjoyed painting with Hazel and the bedding was black and looked fresh like someone just did there bedding not to long ago. Frank set the bags down on either side of the queen size bed then promptly face planted into his pillow and went straight into Somnus's land.
Frank woke to Hazel shaking him which earned her a moan from him as he tried to clear the sleep from his brain.
Hazel smiled down at him her hair was chin length as she started cutting it in the summer. "You know it's dinnertime right?" Hazel looked like she was about to laugh, "good thing I remembered because you wouldn't have done anything and then we would have to eat in the pavilion."
Frank yawned then questioned "Whats wrong with eating in the pavilion."
Hazel looked irritated "this is supposed to be our weekend together not a weekend shared with other demigods." Hazel said exasperated.
"Sorry, sorry," Frank apologized as he rolled out of bed and stumbled into the ruby red kitchen. The color was Hazel's idea it was one of her favorites right up their with blue and royal purple. So he allowed Hazel to paint the kitchen ruby red as long as he got a nice massage at the end of any Friday of the month his choice. The little pine table was made from Frank's favorite pine tree while he grew up. The tree was the biggest one since his mother had planted it when she was a child. But Leo had cut the tree down and turned it into an expanding table to fit the rest of the seven, Reyna, and Nico when they had Christmas parties up in Canada.
It was the next day when it was their Anniversary of their first kiss and like always they went up to the boarder of Canada and Alaska. Nico came up last night just out of the blue and picked up the little Siamese who snuggled against him then told his sister that he'll take care of Leo so they didn't have to worry about him.
It was about one when Frank heard Hazel tell him that she was hungry that's when he pulled his move. It took Frank a long time for him to think of how he should propose, but he thought of what Annabeth had told him about the Chinese handcuffs "Keep it simple". So that's what he did, he kept it simple.
Frank sighed to calm his nerves and turned towards Hazel. "Hazel do you remember when we first kissed here five years ago." Frank watched as his girlfriend of five years turned toward him and nodded her head.
"Yes. And you made the cutest elephant." Hazel replied.
"When the war actually began and I had no idea who was gonna live and who was gonna die, but I did know one thing that if we both lived no matter what I was going to do this." Frank knelt on one and he examined Hazel's face of shock as her hands went to her face. "Hazel Ann Levesque will you marry me?" Frank got the little black velvet box out and inside was a little silver band that in Latin wrote 'ad habendum et tenedum'.
Frank watched as Hazel dropped down to hug him and whispered in his ear "yes."
The next sixth months where like a movie in slow motion. Hazel, Piper, Reyna, and Annabeth had all brought home a bunch of wedding planning magazines. Which would end up with the four girls huddled around each other whispering things like "oh that looks nice" and other things. Then in the final stretch before the big day Hazel had sent out invitations, ordered a wedding dress, wrote her vows, ect. Frank rarely saw her and he barley even saw her eat which Annabeth said that it was normal and called it the 'Wedding planning diet'.
But finally it was that time the day the big huge day that he and Hazel talked about for months the day was April 9th, 2015. Frank was waiting for Hazel then he heard the music and everyone turned toward the large white trellis where morning glories where blooming in whit. The Ceres and Demeter kids and legacies did the entire Garden of Bacchus into a superb wedding place with fountains, white roses, there where flowers Frank didn't even recognize all in his and Hazel's favorite color. Then Percy (his best man) had punched him in the arm as Hazel appeared being walked down the aisle by Pluto. Hazel's dress went to the floor and it was strapless white with little beaded flower patterns on it her hair was tied up in a bun where a little diamond tiara was set that held the veil. Frank heard at least five people hold their breath and he had to admit that Hazel was breath taking.
Pluto on the other hand had worn a silk black suit with a black tie. Frank thought it was great that after the war Hazel had finally forgiven Pluto after all those years ago and even got Nico to forgive him to. So then their stepmother had forgiven and started treating her two stepchildren of hers like her own children, but as for Ceres she's still coming around.
The reception went by fast for Frank, but in the middle he saw Piper slip off her 4" heels and saw Aphrodite/Venus cover her mouth.
But either way after five long years Hazel was finally his all his and he didn't have to worry about if Hazel's overprotective father and brother were gonna approve because now he was part of their family.
The service went by so fast for Frank, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Piper take of her 4" heels then watched her as Aphrodite/Venus cover a gasp he chuckled to himself.
But either way Hazel Levesque was his after all five years no more having to worry about if her overprotective brother and father where going to like him because now he was part of their family.
