Chapter One: The Proposal Part 2

*Annabeth's POV*

As soon as Percy and I got to the beach, we jumped out of the car and headed towards the water. He pulled off his shirt and waited by the shore for me. Percy laughed as I jumped on his back, wearing a green bikini, before he started to run towards the water.

He closed his eyes and sighed in contentment as he breathed in the smell of the ocean. When he opened his eyes, he found me staring at him with a certain look in my eyes, a look that was mixed with lots of different emotions, so he couldn't decide which were present. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. He kissed me back and then I pulled away a few seconds later. He pouted as I swam away from him teasingly. He glided through the water as he swam after me. When he caught up to me, he wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear, "You can't get away from me that easily, Wisegirl."

After a while, we finally got out of the ocean to put our things in the cabin and to change into something more comfortable. I was sitting down on our beach blanket watching the glow of the sun on the water; the sun was about to go down. Looking around, I noticed that there weren't many people at the beach today. There were only a few couples on the beach, and a mother was walking up the beach shore with her daughter. Then I felt Percy sit down behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist, and rested his chin on my shoulders. I turned my head sideways in his direction and kissed him on the cheek. Percy grinned at me before he took my hand and helped me up. I looked at him questioningly, but he just shook his head and pulled me along.

When we found an empty part of the beach, he stopped and laid the blanket that we had grabbed out on the sand. He sat down on the blanket, and I sat down between his legs. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rested my chin on her shoulder, like he had done a few minutes ago, looking out at the sun; we had at least ten more minutes before the sun sets. After we had been sitting there for a good five minutes, I broke our peaceful silence by asking him, "Are you going to tell me why you dragged me out here?"

He looked at the sky to find that the sun had set. he looked at me and replied, "Yeah."

"Well, why did you drag me out here?"

"For this," He got up and pulled me with him. He kept a hold of both my hands as he took a deep breath and got down on one knee. I gasped when I realized what he was doing; it brought tears to my eyes.

"Annabeth Chase, I love you with all my heart and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Before you came into my life I was happy but I was still depressed over losing Calypso and when you came I felt happier than I had in a long long time. For once since Calypso died I didn't think about her constantly but even when I was with Rachel, all I could think about was you. The large empty hole that was supposed be my heart was filled when I met you. From the moment I first saw you at Starbucks I knew there was something special about you."

He paused to take a breath before continuing again, "I know we had a difficult time when Ethan, Zoë, Bianca, Benkendorf, and Silena died and I don't think I would have been able to get through it if it wasn't for you. I know we haven't known each other for long but it feels like we've known each other all our lives. I love you, Wisegirl. I want to expand the family we've already created, you've been more like a mother to Adam than anyone else has been in a long time and he adores you, just like his father. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I hope you feel the same way about me. That is why I am going to ask you this question, ask you to be mine and I be yours for the rest of our life. Annabeth Chase, will you do me the wonderful honor of marrying me?"

I stared into Percy eyes, shock paralyzing my ability to move my mouth. When I came to my senses a few seconds later, I grinned and shouted jubilantly, "Yes, of course I'll marry you!"

When I hadn't said anything Percy had tensed up but know he was grinning from ear to ear as he stood up and slid the beautiful ring onto my finger. It was gorgeous; it had a simple platinum band with one diamond cut in a Marquise shape sitting in the center of the band. Percy gave me a peck on the lips before he pulled me into a hug.

"So this is why you were so nervous this morning and you almost called me your fiancée," I guessed.

"I should have known you noticed that." Percy chuckled as he pulled me into a hug. I smiled as he wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"I love you," I whispered.

"I love you, too."

We stayed on the beach for a little while longer before we decided to go back to the cabin. My mind was reeling with wedding plans as we walked back to the cabin, and by walking I mean, Percy giving me a piggy-back ride.

"Annabeth, you know I love you but you're killing me!" Percy cried out.

I rolled my eyes and smiled, "Oh, stop being so melodramatic, Perce. I probably weigh as light as a feather compared to you."

Percy laughed and sighed, "I guess you're right."

"Like always!" I sang.

"Oh, shut up, before I drop you." Percy threatened.

"You wouldn't dare drop your fiancée, Perseus." I narrowed my eyes.

"I suppose your right." Percy sighed with a thoughtful tone. I rolled my eyes and bent down bury my head in his neck. A few seconds later we were walking up the steps of the cabin. Percy put me down as before he opened the cabin door.

"I'm going to go change," I told him as I headed to the bedroom to change out of my clothes and into my pajamas. When I came out of the bedroom I found Percy sitting on the couch watching TV. Putting my hair up I chuckled as I walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.

"Annabeth, can I ask you something?" Percy asked as I sat down and curled up beside him.

"Yes,"

"Well, you know how you said that you wanted to start your own architecture firm?"

"Yeah..." I say hesitantly, not knowing where he was going with this.

"Well, I got you a office building."

I sat up and looked at him with astonishment written across my face. Percy looked up at me with an almost innocent expression as if he didn't get why I was surprised. But the one thing that have him away were his eyes, they were full of mischief.

"Percy, are you serious?" I asked my voice full of disbelieve. He just simply nodded his head, instead of an innocent expression on his face he was smiling softly.

"Oh my gods!" Was all I could say seeing as I was still so shocked. I turned toward Percy and gave him a huge hug.

"Thank you so much, Percy!"

"No problem, Wisegirl. Think of it as an wedding present." Percy replied.

"Gods, I love you so much!" I exclaimed as I pulled away from the hug to look at him.

"I love you more." Percy murmured as he rested his forehead on mine. As always, my mind went blank when Percy closed the distance between us and the only thing I was thinking about was my future. From tomorrow to fifty years from now and Percy was by my side the entire time.

The next day passed by in a breeze. Pretty soon, we had all of our things packed up and in the car. I was on the beach staring at the ocean when I felt Percy's familiar arms wrap around my waist.

"Are you ready?" He asked as he planted his chin on top of my head.

I turned around in his hold and said, "Never been more ready in my life,"

Percy lifted his head up from my neck and smiled, "Great. Are you ready to tell everyone, Wisegirl?"

"I already assumed that everyone knew."

"Well, you're right, but the only people that I haven't told are my Dad and Adam."

"So do you want to go visit your dad before we stop by your parent's apartment to pick Adam up?" I asked as I leaned my head against his chest.

I felt his chest rumble as he replied, "Yeah, let me go and call his secretary so he'll know were coming."

He kissed my forehead before pulled away and took my hand and led me towards our car. When we got in the car, I looked out of the windows, at the clear sea blue waves that matched the sky so perfectly. I sighed in contempt as Percy started the car while he called his dad's secretary. The rest of the ride was filled with a comfortable silence. Every now and then Percy would grab my left hand and bring it to his lips.

When we got to the grand opening it was crowed. There was a crowd around the front of the building. After we found a place to park, Percy and I started to make our way towards the front of the building. When we were finally able to push our way through the crowd we found ourselves in front of the doors. Poseidon, seeing us, opened them and pulled us in.

"So, do you guys want to tell me what was so important that you couldn't wait until after I finished the grand opening?" Poseidon asked with curiosity twinkling in his eyes.

"Sir, you start the opening in ten minutes." His assistant told him.

"Well, what is it you wanted to tell me? Am I going to have another grandchild?" Poseidon asked excitement evident in his voice.

Percy and I blushed a deep crimson, "No!"

"Then what is it?"

I looked at Percy and nudged him while raising my eyebrows. Percy glared at me before he turned his attention back to his father and told him, "We're getting married."

"Congratulations!" he yelled as he swept Percy and I into a huge hug.

"Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt but it's time to start the grand opening." His assistant told him.

Poseidon pulled away from Percy and addressed his assistant, "Okay, and Nicole I want you to clear my schedule for the rest of the day."

"Okay, sir," Nicole agreed before she walked off to go clear his schedule.

"Dad, are you sure that's necessary?" Percy asked as soon as Nicole was gone.

"Of course, I want to spend time with my son, my soon to be daughter, and my grandson. Speaking of Adam, where is he?"

"He's with Sally," I answered as I took a hold of Percy's hand.

"Of course, he's such a grandma's boy. Come on, you two, the sooner I start the opening the sooner we can leave." Poseidon ushers us outside. After Poseidon officially opened the new Olympus headquarters he stood behind a podium to answer the press questions.

"Seeing as something very important has come up, I will only be able to answer very few questions today." Poseidon announced.

"What is more important than the grand opening of the new Olympus headquarters?" someone shouted out from the crowd of people.

"My eldest son, Percy, has just gotten engaged and I plan on spending the rest of the day with him, his fiance, and my grandson." Poseidon answered. "That was one question. You only get four more."

Hundreds of hands shot up in the air. Poseidon chose someone in the front to the crowd.

"Why did the Olympians and yourself decide to build a new headquarters?"

"We decided to build a new headquarters since we all are expanding our companies and since we all work together we decided that we should expand the headquarters as well, so as our separate companies get bigger, we will get bigger as a whole." Poseidon answered. "Next question."

Again, hundreds of hands shot up. This time instead of picking someone from the front he chose someone from the back. "Who designed this building? We've asked almost every major architecture firm there is and all of them have said they didn't design it and they all compliment whoever did." The person asked. Percy grinned down at me and squeezed my hand before he whispered in my ear, "I knew everyone would love your work." I smiled at him and gave him a peck on the cheek before turning my attention back to Poseidon.

"Two people designed this building actually. Annabeth and Malcom Chase, the son and daughter of the late Athena Chase designed the building. We knew it was the right thing to do to have Athena's children design the building since she wasn't here to do it herself. In fact one of our brilliant designers is here right now and if she wants to she could answer a few questions for you." Poseidon glanced back at me to see if this was okay with me and I nodded before I squeezed Percy's hand and let go to come stand next to Poseidon.

"I'll be glad to answer a few questions for you," I announced as I stood next to Poseidon.

"Very well, may I be pleased to introduce Annabeth Chase, one of the brilliant masterminds of new Olympus building and as I am glad to say my soon to be daughter-in-law." Poseidon introduced me. I blushed slightly when he said 'soon to be daughter-in-law'. Hands were already shooting in the air before Poseidon left the podium. I chose someone from the middle of the crowd.

"How did you feel when Zeus asked you to design a new headquarters for Olympus?" the person asked.

"Shocked, but grateful because I could finally get the experience that I wanted." I replied.

"Have you designed any other buildings, beside the new headquarters for Olympus?" someone shouted out.

"Yes, I recently just finished designing a new building for my fiancé. And I plan on opening my own architecture firm very soon," I answered.

"What about your brother? What does he do?"

"He isn't as into architecture as I am but he has recently been deciding whether or not to run our mother's company." I said. I answered a few more questions before Poseidon took back the podium, not that I minded as I was getting a little overwhelmed. As soon as I got within arm's length, Percy wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug.

"You were great!" Percy whispered in my ear as I rested my head on his chest.

I looked up at him and whispered, "Thanks."

When Poseidon finally finished the grand opening we left to go pick up Adam. After we picked Adam up, Poseidon took us to a restaurant to celebrate the good news.

"Bye, grandpa!" Adam whispered tiredly.

"Bye buddy, I'll see you soon, okay?" Poseidon told him as he gave him one last hug. He gave me a hug before he handed Adam to me. I left Percy and Poseidon to go put Adam in his car seat.

"Anniebeth?" Adam asked as he looked up at me.

"Hmm?" I asked as I placed him in his seat.

"What were we celebrating?" he asked me for the third time that night.

"It's a surprise, your dad and I will tell you when we get home, okay?" Instead of telling Adam we were engaged right away we decided to wait until we got home to tell him.

"Okay, Annie." He replied as I finished putting him in his car seat. Percy finished saying good-bye to his father as I finished. When I got in the passenger seat, Percy started the car and put his seat belt on. As I put my seat belt on I looked in the back to make sure that Adam was fast asleep before I asked, "Perce?"

"Yeah," he asked.

"Do you think Adam will have a problem with us getting married? I mean I know what it feels like having another woman come in and you feeling like they've replaced their mother. I don't want Adam to feel like that's what I'm doing." I confessed.

Percy reached over and took my hand from my lap. He lifted it to his lips and kissed the back of it before he replied, "Annabeth, I know for a fact that he will love to have you as his mother, you already act like mother and son. I'll admit I don't know if he'll be happy with it right away but I'm pretty sure he'll learn to accept it."

When we got back to the house, Percy got Adam out of his car seat and I went to go open the door. I put our left overs in the fridge and when I walked back into the living room I saw Percy sitting on the couch with Adam on his lap, trying to wake him up.

"Adam, wake up, we have something important to tell you." Percy told him as he lightly shook him awake. Adam finally woke up after a few more minutes of Percy, lightly, shaking him.

"Adam we have something important to tell you." Percy started.

"What is it? Is this the surprise?" Adam asked, looking fully awake now.

"Yes. We're getting married." I told him.

There was a moment of silence for a while before Adam grinned, "Yay!"

Percy smiled at me in a way that said 'I told you so' before he told Adam, "Okay, now that we got that out of the way, it's time for bed mister."

"I'll take him," I told Percy as I got up from my seat on the couch and pick Adam up and walked up the stairs towards his bedroom.

When I had Adam in bed and in his pj's I asked Adam, "Adam, we need to talk."

He just nodded his head, so I continued, "I know you're not happy with me marrying your father."

"How did you know?" Adam asked, his voice muffled, from him hiding under the covers.

"Because I did the same thing when my dad told me he was getting remarried, I acted as if I was happy for my dad but really I didn't want him to get married. I don't want to have the same kind of relationship with you as I did with my step-mother." I explained. "I just want you to know that, Adam, I will never replace your mother and I don't want to. I want you to feel comfortable with me and maybe someday feel like I really am your mother. I know it may seem like your father has forgotten about your mother, but I know he hasn't, he never will. She gave him you and for that he will always love her. I'm telling you this Adam, because I don't want you to grow up thinking I'm trying to replace your mother or that your father forgot about her because of me. I just don't want you to hate me."

Adam looked at me and replied, "I don't hate you Anniebeth. I never will. Thank you for telling me that. I'm much happier that you're marrying my daddy. I'm happy you're marrying him and not Rachel, she wasn't all that fun. And, Anniebeth, I already think of you like my own mother."

I smiled, relieve we had this talk and pulled him into a hug. I pulled away and kissed him on the forehead before I tucked him back in before I told him, "I'm glad we had this talk, now it's time for bed."

I got up from my position on his bed and started to walk out the room. Right before I turned off the lights Adam spoke, "Annie?"

"Hmm?" I asked as I turned around to face him.

"I love you," Adam told me as he looked at me from under the covers.

I was so shocked that it froze me but thankfully I recovered in a few seconds. I looked Adam in the eye, smiling as I told him, "I love you, too Adam."

The last thing I saw before I turned out the lights was Adam smiling at me. As I turned to walk out of his room I saw Percy slowly start to creep back into our room. I stood outside of Adam's door and waited until Percy was in our room before I went in. As soon as I got into the room I changed into a tank top and comfortable short shorts. Percy was already in bed when I climbed in. He was lying on his back and I laid my head on his chest.

I looked up at Percy, who was looking at the ceiling, before I asked, "So, Perce, why were you spying on Adam and I?"

Percy looked down at me in surprise before he asked, "How did you know that?"

"You should be quicker when you leave," I laughed.

Percy groaned before saying, "I went to see what was taking you so long to put him to sleep so I came up to check on you guys when I heard you talking to him. You're amazing you know that? I don't think I could have done what you did."

"Did you hear what he told me before I walked out of his room?" I asked him.

"No."

"He told me he loved me." I smiled up at Percy as he smiled down at me.

"Of course he does. You found his way into his little heart and now that you did he loves you to pieces. And you did the same thing to his father. I love you so much, Anna,"

"I love you more, Percy," I mumbled into his bare chest as he drew patterns in my back. Soon, Percy fell asleep and I followed him shortly after.

Soooo, how did I do? Was it good for the first chapter? I bet you guys didn't expect the unhappiness from Adam did you? But please tell me how you liked it! I'll try to update soon! Sorry, if anyone was OOC. Also, I have decided that I will do most of my writing during the summer. Cause that way I'll have more free time to write. I might post something during the school year if I have time but if not don't expect anything during the school year.

Until Next Time,
