This is another version of Surprise. Percy and Louisa are in the Navy/ Marines (figures). They aren't on tour at the same time because their promise to Athena on the River Styx (to protect Annabeth and her and Percy's baby). When one gets back the other goes on tour, so one of them is fulfilling their promise.

Anyway, on with the fic.

"That one." Louisa said definitely, getting to her feet. She was in her Marine camouflage uniform, her matching pack in the trunk of Leo's car- a red 2011 Ford Fiesta Sedan. Obviously, Louisa approved the colour.

Louisa, Leo, Annabeth, Sally and Paul all watched the military helicopter slowly descend towards the tarmac twenty yards from them. Annabeth cradled her two week old son, Tobias, to her chest. Percy hadn't seen his first child, having been called out when Annabeth was three months gone.

"Is he OK, Lou?" Louisa tilted her head to the side as the helicopter's skids bumped on the ground.

"He's pullin' faces at us." Annabeth smiled, kissing her son's forehead gently. She sat on the hood of Percy's car- a dark blue 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan.

Tobias crinkled his forehead, stirring in his sleep, but not waking up. He had Percy's hair, with the grey streak in the same place and Annabeth's stormy grey eyes.

The helicopter's rotors slowed and eventually stopped. The large ramp at the back of the helicopter lowered itself and Marines in matching uniform to Louisa's filed out. They formed up to the side of the chopper. Captain Mark Richards stood in front of them. Annabeth couldn't hear what he was saying, but as the Marines stood in their parade, going from at attention to at ease; she wondered how her husband could focus on the commands for so long.

Finally, they were dismissed. Louisa left Leo's side and jogged up to the Captain. Percy met his sister first, putting his arm around her, grinning. Richards told them something and waved them away. The twins jogged back to their mortal parents.

Percy dropped his pack when he saw Annabeth. His grin broadened and he sprinted to her.

"Hey Wise-girl." Percy sat on the hood next to her. He had a recent gash on his cheek, but that could easily be healed up with some nectar or ambrosia.

"Seaweed Brain." They kissed for a few seconds until Annabeth pulled back. Percy started to protest, but Annabeth distracted him with Tobias.

"Lou said something about a 'Squirtface'." Percy carefully took his son. Tobias stirred again, this time waking up. He stared at his father with his intense grey eyes. "Hello. Aren't you good looking?" Annabeth rolled her eyes as Tobias studied his father. "Please don't cry…" Percy mumbled. Tobias didn't, settling in his father's arms to go back to sleep.

They both breathed a sigh of relief. Percy grinned.

"He likes you."

"Why shouldn't he?"

"Every time a guy's tried to hold him, he started crying."

"That's 'cos he wanted his daddy." Percy grinned. He tucked his arm around her waist. "Sorry I wasn't there when he was born." He mumbled, kissing her forehead.

"Wasn't your fault." Annabeth said, relaxing against him. "It's good you're back."

"Just good?"

"Don't go looking for anything else, Seaweed Brain."

"Do you have to go?"

"We've gone over this, Leo. It's ma job." Leo groaned, shoulders sagging in defeat. Louisa smiled slightly.

"Bunker nine's gonna be boring though."

"I don't do anythin' helpful, ya know that."

"So? It's nice to have you around."

"Thanks, dude." Leo smiled sadly. "Look, when I get back, we're gonna go out 'n' we'll get fries 'n' hotdogs or somethin'. Sound good?"

"How about dinner and a movie?"

"Depends what we're like when I get back." Leo nodded in agreement. "What's the matter, Valdez?" For some reason, he smiled at the sound of his last name. "I know that look. What cha thinkin'?"

"I'm thinking that when you get back, you won't have this dual surname problem."

"What's wrong with Smith-Jackson?" (Smith is Jessica's last name- Louisa used it as her own when Jessica adopted her seeing as she didn't have let alone know her real surname).

"Nothing. Valdez is just better. I think it'll suit you." Louisa tried to see what he was thinking, but his eyes were unreadable.

Leo took her hands in his. Despite his fire control, his hands were cold. Cold hand, warm heart, Louisa thought. "When you get back, I'm gonna make you a Valdez." Louisa blinked blankly. Leo's expression was just as blank, but his eyes were hopeful. "Sound good?"

And cliffy…
