AUTHORS NOTE: This story will have slow updates, for I am currently working on three other story's. Let me know who's perspective you want to read in and how old Percabeth should be. I'm open to suggestions. Thank you :)
* Thalia's pov ( Percy and Annabeth are 29 )
I had convinced Artemis to let me take the weekend off. I was going to spend it with Annabeth and Percy. They were both twenty-nine, Percy was a marine biologist, and taught at CHB in the summers, while Annabeth owned her own architecture firm. They had five kids and one on the way.
The eldest was Zoe, named after Zoe Nightshade, she was seven and had her fathers messy raven black hair and sea green eyes. She was exactly like her father, taking his ability's with horses, water and a sword. She also had his personality, and trouble maker smile.
Next were the twins, Luke and Silena, named after the first Luke and Silena, they were six. Luke had Percy's messy raven black hair and Annabeth's grey eyes. He was also like Percy in ability and personality. Silena had Annabeth's blonde curly hair and Percy's sea green eyes. She had Annabeth's smarts and preferred to fight with a knife. She also had Annabeth's personality.
Then there was Charlie, named after Charlie Beckendorf, he was four. He also had Annabeth's blonde curly hair and her grey eyes. He was very smart for a four year old, so they suspected him to take after Annabeth.
After Charlie was Bianca, named after Bianca Di Angelo, she was three. She had Percy's raven black hair and Annabeth's grey eyes. She had control over water and could speak to horses and other sea creatures, and they suspected since she took after Percy she would probably have better ability's with a sword.
They were also expecting their sixth child, a girl who was to be named Grace, after me. I was honored that my best friend and kelp headed cousin would honor me by naming one of their children after me.
*******Line Break******
I was now walking up to Annabeth's architecture firm, named Athenian Architecture. It was spring and a Friday evening, so I knew she was working and not at camp or her house. I hadn't told her or Percy that I would be coming to spend the weekend with them, but I hadn't seen them since Annabeth told me she was pregnant, which was about six months ago. I knew they would be happy to see me, sure I IMed them but seeing them in person was way better.
I walked up to the receptionist at the counter and asked " Can I see Annabeth Chase, please? I'm her best friend and I wanted to surprise her".
The girl smiled at me. "Of course. She's about to leave in five minutes, so she should be in her office, just there on the left," she told me.
"Thanks," I told her walking away.
When I got to Annabeth's office, the door was open and Annabeth had her back turned to me, grabbing stuff and jamming it into her purse. She had her blonde curls in her normal ponytail, and was wearing a nice lose fitting grey shirt with dark blue jeans and some comfy tennis shoes.
"Hey," I said walking into the room. She turned around startled, when she realized it was me she smiled and came to give me a hug, which I gladly returned.
"Thalia, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Artemis gave me the weekend off. So I figured I would spend it with you and my Kelp Headed cousin," I told her pulling back to look at her. Her grey eyes were happy and her six month stomach was defiantly showing.
"Oh that's wonderful. I'm sure Percy and the kids would love to see you," She said. I smiled at her and she smiled back. "Perfect timing by the way. I was just getting ready to go home" She said grabbing her purse.
"I know. I'm just awesome like that," I said. She rolled her eyes at me but she was smiling.
"Come on lets go. Percy's getting the kids so your lucky," She told me.
We walked out of the building and hopped into her silver mini van. I sat in the passengers seat and she got in the drivers. "So how have you been?" I asked her.
She smiled as she pulled out onto the road and said, "Great. The kids have been doing good too. Zoe talked us into letting her do soccer, and the rest of them have been good in school and daycare. Percy got a promotion about a month ago, and his hours got changed so he now can't get the kids off to school and daycare but he can pick them up. So he's been picking them up and I've been dropping them off, which I actually like more that picking them up. So that's been nice".
"I can't believe you ended up with that Kelp Head, let alone had almost six kids with him. I mean I knew you two liked each other when I came back, but I sure didn't picture this happening," I told her.
Annabeth smiled at me and said " Honestly? Neither did I, but I'm really glad it did. I love Percy and my kids. They're the best things that have ever happened to me".
I fake gagged at her and she laughed. Secretly, even though I was a hunter I was happy for her. After the two major wars she went through I was glad she got her happy ending. Even though I hate to admit it, Percy really was a great guy. I was happy that they ended up together. Annabeth got to marry her best friend and obviously they loved each other, I mean they had to, they had six kids. Their kids were amazing and Annabeth and Percy were great parents. They were always with them and there for them. If one of their kids was upset they were there to help. I think their great parenting came from the lack of having one absent parent, or in Annabeth's case mostly both.
The rest of the drive we played the radio and sang to the songs that came on.
*******Line Break*****
About thirty minutes later we pulled up in front of their house. Annabeth had designed it, of course. It was huge and Greek style. It had Three story's and a basement. On the first floor was the living room, dining room, kitchen, Annabeth's office, and a bathroom. The second floor had six bedrooms and two bathrooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. The second story was all the kids rooms and the new baby's. On the third floor was Percy and Annabeth's bedroom, with a connecting bathroom, and three guest bedrooms and one other bathroom. The basement was furnished and had two rooms, one room had their demigod tools and the other was the kids playroom, that also had a huge aquarium with a bunch of tropical fish from the ocean and beautiful corals and other sea plants. They also had a large fenced in backyard, with a huge deck by the back door, that was in the kitchen, with nice patio furniture and a grill, a nice in ground pool, and a play set for the kids.
They didn't plan on filling the rooms with just their children, but to help demigods in need. They would welcome any demigod that needed help in to stay. Both camps were aware that their house was always open. That's just the kind of people Annabeth and Percy were.
Annabeth and I hopped out of the car, and Annabeth unlocked the door. "Percy and the kids should be here in about thirty minutes. I need to get changed and I can show you to one of the guest rooms," She told me.
"Sounds like a plan," I said with a smirk. She rolled her eyes at me, and led me up to the third floor.
She opened the door to the room across from her and Percy's. " Make yourself at home," She told me, then walked to her room and closed the door.
I looked around the room, there was a queen sized bed with grey sheets, two nightstands with lamps by the bed, a dresser on one wall with a body mirror next to it, and a closet across from the foot of the bed. I unpacked my small bag with my clothes in it and hung them up in the closet. I took my shoes off and laid them by the dresser. I then changed into pajama pants and a t-shirt.
I walked down stairs to the living room to see Annabeth reading a book on the couch. She had on some fuzzy pajama pants and one of Percy's CHB t-shirts. I sat down next to her and she set her book down and laughed. "I guess we both had the same idea," She told me, gesturing to our pajamas. I smiled at her. Before I could say anything I heard the sound of the door opening.
"Alright kids, go upstairs and put your school stuff away, and change into your play clothes. Then you can go see your mom," I heard Percy's voice say. I was surprised by him being so mature and adult like, sometimes I forget that he grew up. A chorus of "Yes daddy"s come from the entry way, followed by feet on the stairs.
"Annabeth, Honey, are you in there?" Percy asked from the entry way, I could hear him putting up his car keys. Beside me Annabeth had a smile on her face as she answered "Yeah. Come in here".
Percy walked into the room. He was wearing jeans and a blue t-shirt, with tennis shoes. His raven black hair was as messy as ever and his sea green eyes held love, amusement, and mischief. He smirked at me and said, "Long time no see, Pinecone Face". I got up and hugged him
"You too, Kelp Head," I told him. He was way taller than me since I was still sixteen and he had grown up to be about 6'1. Annabeth laughed at us and shook her head.
"You two never change," she told us.
Percy and I turned to face her and said "Nope" at the same time. She rolled her eyes at us.
"Keep rolling your eyes and you'll get a headache, Wise Girl," Percy told her smirking.
Annabeth crossed her arms and muttering, "Shut up, Seaweed Brain".
"You two don't change much ether," I informed them going to sit down next to Annabeth again.
"Whatever you say, Pinecone Face" Percy told me as he sat on the other side of Annabeth. Annabeth leaned back against his chest. Percy put one hand on her stomach and intertwined the other with one of hers.
"So, when did you get here, and why are you here? Not that I'm not excited to see you," Percy inquired.
"Well I went to Annabeth's work as she was leaving, so I've been here since she has, and Artemis gave me the weekend off so, I thought I would spend it with you two. We haven't seen each other in forever," I told him.
He nodded his head and said, "Yeah the kids actually asked me about you on our way home, so I'm sure they'll be happy to see you too". I smiled at my best friends and they smiled back.
It was still kind of crazy that they had grown up. They had been happily married since they were twenty. Then Percy got a good job, and Annabeth got to open her own architecture firm, like she always dreamed about. When they were twenty-one Annabeth got pregnant, and they started to have their kids, and Annabeth had built them their dream home. Now they were twenty-nine, they were still married, and happy, had five kids and one on the way, still had their dream jobs, and lived in their dream home. But they deserved it after all they went through.
Percy kissed Annabeth's temple and said, "I'd better go check on the kids, and see if they need any help".
Annabeth nodded her head and called after him as he walked out the door, " Thanks, Seaweed Brain. I love you".
"I love you too," Percy called back.
I fake gagged at Annabeth as she smirked at me. "Your just jealous," She taunted me.
"Of you and Kelp Head? Never," I said. She rolled her eyes and muttered "Sure".
I heard tiny feet on the stairs and looked at the doorway to see Zoe and Silena standing there.
"Mommy, Aunt Thalia" they both cried happily. They ran up and hugged me and then Annabeth.
"Hey baby's, how was school?" Annabeth asked, smiling at her daughters.
"It was fine. I don't have any homework, so I'm happy," Zoe told us.
"Just like Percy. Happy not to have homework," I smirked, her ruffling her hair.
She laughed at me before saying, "That's what mom tells me all the time". I looked over to see Annabeth smile and nod her head.
"What about you, Honey? How was school?" Annabeth asked Silena.
"School was fun. I don't have homework, because I did it in my free time in class," She answered her mom.
"Definitely your daughter, Annabeth," I told her.
Annabeth just smirked at me and turned back to her daughters and said, "Aunt Thalia is staying the weekend here".
" Cool," Zoe said, smiling at me.
"Come on, Zoe, I want to go play," Silena whined.
"Fine. We'll be in the playroom, mommy," Zoe told us, walking out of the room.
"They sure are getting older," I said looking at Annabeth.
She sighed and looked down at her swollen belly, "I know. It seems like yesterday, Percy and I were bringing Zoe home from the hospital," She told me. I hugged her, and pulled back.
"Don't worry your about to have another little girl to take care of," I told her, trying to cheer her up. It worked as she smiled and rubbed a hand on her belly.
"Hi, mommy," a little voice said. I looked at the archway of the living room to see Charlie walking in, Percy behind him, little Bianca on his hip. Annabeth smiled and held her arms open for Charlie. Charlie climbed into her lap and snuggled into his mother. I looked back over at Percy, to see him leaning against the archway, Bianca still on his hip, watching Annabeth and Charlie with a smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile too. Not only at Annabeth and Charlie, but also at Percy as he held his daughter and watched his wife and son. He really did love her a lot.
"Where's Luke?" Annabeth asked, breaking me out of my thoughts. I looked over at her to see Charlie dozing on her, as she looked at Percy with a smile.
"He's doing his math homework. I told him he couldn't play until he got it done," Percy answered.
"Wow, Kelp Head. I would have never thought you could be a responsible parent," I said sweetly. Percy just rolled his eyes at me, I heard Annabeth stifle a laugh next to me.
"Yeah, whatever, Pinecone Face," He retorted.
"I hate to break this up, but what do you guys want to do for dinner?" Annabeth asked.
"I have enough stuff for breakfast for dinner," Percy suggested.
"Fine with me. I didn't know you could cook Kelp Head," I said.
"There is a lot of stuff you don't know about me, Pinecone Face," Percy told me.
"Okay you two, knock it off. That sounds fine, Babe. I'm sure the kids would most definitely be fine with it, they are your kids after all," Annabeth said, rolling her eyes. All three of us laughed at that. Percy set Bianca down.
"Go say hi to mommy and Aunt Thalia," Percy told her, kissing her little forehead and walking to the kitchen.
Bianca walked over to Annabeth and held out her arms to be picked up. Annabeth picked her up and set her in between us.
"Kelp Head really has changed," I said, thinking of when he was a teenager.
"Not really. Except he's more mature, but other than that he really is just the same old Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said stroking Bianca's black hair. I nodded, in some ways I guess he was still the same.
****Line Break*****
Annabeth and I decided to watch TV, with Bianca and Charlie, as Percy made dinner.
"Dinners done," Percy told us walking in the room.
"Did you set the table, Honey?" Annabeth asked him.
Percy nodded and said, "You two can get Charlie and Bianca, I'll go get the other three" . Annabeth and I nodded as Percy walked down stairs. I grabbed Bianca as Annabeth got Charlie, and we walked into the large dinning room. I set Bianca down in one of the chairs as Annabeth set Charlie in another.
"I'll get their food. You can make your plate, Thal's" Annabeth told me. I nodded and grabbed a plate. I stacked it with blue pancakes, bacon, eggs, and a piece of toast. I sat down at the table and waited for everyone else.
Annabeth had also sat down with her plate and Bianca and Charlie had one too. Zoe walked into the room and started making her plate.
"Zoe did you wash your hands?" Annabeth asked her.
"Yes, mom. Dad's way ahead of you, he already told me to do it" Zoe answered, coming to sit next to me.
I smiled and said, "Who would have thought that, Kelp Head would plan ahead?". Annabeth just laughed and shook her head at me.
Percy, Silena, and Luke walked in, the two children laughing. "Dad!" Silena exclaimed.
"What? I didn't do anything," Percy said innocently. That just made Silena and Luke laugh harder.
"What did you do this time, Kelp Head?" I asked.
"Nothing," he told me as he sat down next to Annabeth. Luke came with his plate and sat down on my other side.
"Aunt Thalia, what are you doing here?" he asked me.
"I'm visiting you guys for the weekend," I told him.
"Awesome," he replied.
" So, what did you do?" Annabeth asked looking at Percy, as she took a bite of toast.
"I don't know what your talking about, Dear," Percy replied, smirking at her. She glared at him as the older three children smiled at their parents.
"Just tell her, Kelp Head. You know she's not going to give up til you do," I told him. Percy sighed, shooting me a glare and then looking back to his wife.
"Fine. I might have flooded the backyard" Percy said smiling sheepishly at Annabeth, who glared at him. Luke and Silena laughed.
"Don't worry, mom. He fixed it, and technically it was Luke's fault. Luke scared him as we were coming down the stairs," Silena told Annabeth. Annabeth's glare softened as she looked at Percy.
"Fine. You're off the hook this time, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth told him. He just smiled and kissed her cheek.
The rest of dinner we talked about the new baby, the kids school, and Zoe's soccer practice on Sunday.
*****Another Line Break*****
After dinner all the kids decided to watch Finding Nemo. So that's what I did. I sat down on the couch Zoe on my left and Luke on my right. Next to Luke was Silena and Charlie. Percy and Annabeth were sitting in the recliner, Annabeth in his lap and Bianca snuggling with them too.
After the movie it was about ten o'clock, and Bianca, Charlie, and Luke were all passed out.
"Alright bed time," Annabeth told the kids. Zoe, and Silena nodded.
"Brush your teeth, comb your hair, and get into your pajamas. I'll be in there in a minute," Percy told them.
"Okay, dad," Silena said. Zoe and Silena walked up to their rooms. Annabeth got off of Percy's lap, trying not to disturb Bianca.
" Thal's do you mind grabbing Charlie?" Annabeth asked me.
"Not at all," I told her. I carefully picked up Charlie, trying not to wake him, as Percy did the same to Bianca.
"Luke, sweetie, come on lets go to bed," Annabeth told him. Luke groggily opened his grey eyes, and got up still half asleep. Annabeth grabbed his hand and we all walked up stairs.
I went to Charlies room and laid him down in the bed, covering him up with a blanket. I was just glad he didn't drool. I walked out of his room and cracked the door. Across the hall Percy was tucking Zoe into bed.
"Night daddy. I love you," Zoe said. Percy smiled.
"I love you too, Zoe. Goodnight," he told her. He kissed her forehead and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. I smiled at him. He looked confused.
"What?" he asked me.
"Nothing, Kelp Head," I said. He rolled his eyes at me as Annabeth came out of Silena's room.
She put one arm around Percy's waist and said, " Night, Thal's".
"Night Annabeth, Kelp Head," I said walking into the guest room. I didn't close the door since I knew none of the kids were on this floor, and I was kind of curious to see what Annabeth and Percy did, seeing as they had their own floor.
I crawled into the bed, and saw Annabeth and Percy's room door open across the hall. Annabeth was on her side of the bed, lying on her back, reading a book. I smiled, same old Annabeth. Percy came around the corner, in only blue boxers and a t-shirt, and laid down next to Annabeth. Annabeth set her book on her nightstand and turned to look at him. She smiled and ran her hand through his messy black hair. He looked up at her and smiled as she smiled back. They looked into each others eyes for a minute, before Annabeth leaned down and kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back for a minute until she pulled back. She scotched down the bed and rolled towards Percy. Percy turned towards her and she snuggled her head into his chest, as he wrapped his arms around her, and barred his face in her hair.
"I love you, Percy," I heard Annabeth's muffled voice say.
"I love you more, Annabeth" Percy told her. Annabeth looked up at him and kissed his jaw.
"Not possible. I love you the most," She argued.
"Geeez, Annabeth. As a daughter of Athena, you should know that you can't possibly love me more than I love you," Percy told her smirking.
"Whatever, Seaweed Brain. I love you. Goodnight." Annabeth told him. Percy reached over her and turned the light off.
It was dark so I couldn't see them but I heard Percy say, "I love you too. Night".
I rolled over and fell asleep. Thinking about how much my friends had really grown up. And even if I was a hunter and they were really lovey dovey, I was glad they had each other. They were soulmates and deserved their kids. After everything they deserved this.
