"Percy, I told you this 5 times already, you need to take Bianca to her friends birthday party! She's going to be late!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he yells breathlessly as he runs into the room. "I was running around after Zoe and Silena. They were running everywhere and leaving a bunch of toys behind them." I just stare at him, and a smile creeps along my face. I can never stay mad at him. He leans in to kiss me, but instead I shove the car keys against his chest. He grabs my hand to take the keys, and sneaks in a quick kiss.
"Percy! Go already!" I say, gently pushing him away, but wishing he could stay forever. He slowly backs away, and I stare into his sea green eyes with longing. It's been so long since we just had a date night. Well, I guess that's what happens when you're married with 3 kids. He keeps backing away slowly, still looking at me. He slips on a toy, and falls backwards onto the floor, meanwhile I'm trying desperately not to laugh.
"Smooth move, Seaweed Brain," I tell him, smiling. He stands up, brushes himself off, and gives me another quick kiss, this time on the cheek. He finally gets Bianca, and goes out the front door. I turn and glance at the floor, realizing Percy was right, they really did leave a mess. "Okay, Annabeth, you've got quite some clean-up to do," I say to no one in particular. I am suddenly wishing that it wasn't my turn to watch the twins. Percy got the easy job this time. I sigh, and run to catch Silena and Zoe, and stop them from doing anymore damage to the house.
