Prologue

10 years after the Giant War

"What is keeping your father?" A woman with long flowing brown hair and purple eyes asked a bit concerned.

A teen boy was seated in the back along with a baby girl, who seemed to smile at her mother. The boy had medium length black hair and dark green eyes. His sister was the splitting image of her mother with a hint of brown hair and purple eyes as she closed her eyes as she slept.

"Dad always seems to forget or needs to double check if we have everything we need."

"And that's why I married your father, Andrew. He's always worried about us and wants to keep us safe." She replied with a smile as she heard a door slammed quickly open from the house. A man that looked almost like Andrew, but with longer hair that covered his left eye, jumped in the driver seat all tired out.

Catherine reached out for her husband's hand and smiled at him, "Is everything alright, Nathan?" she asked.

He looked a bit hesitant, but smiled at his wife.

"Yes, I'm fine Catherine; I was just checking in with Percy and told him we'll meet them at his mothers' place. I've also called the camp and made all the necessary arrangements for our stay there as well." He replied.

"That's good and all…" she leaned over and kissed Nathan on the cheek, "….but I want you to take it easy while we're at camp, your left eye still hasn't healed yet after that…..incident. Why don't we tell…?" But Nathan just looked at her and stopped.

Andrew looked confused at what his parents were talking about.

"I'm sorry Catherine, but I don't want to burden the others while we're there. If they knew what happened during "that" time it will cause a huge commotion."

"Alright Nathan, I won't say a word, but I'll still be worried about you."

"What are you guys talking about?" Andrew asked a bit curious.

Nathan patted his sons' head and smiled.

"I'll tell you when you're older, Andrew, I promise. Now let us be on our way before Lumia wakes up, it's going to be a couple of hours before we arrive at New York." He replied as he drove off the parking lot and left, even though his wife and son were still worried for him.

New York City

In a living room of a large apartment, a woman with long blonde hair and grey eyes looked very irritated as she was trying to calm down two teen boys. Both boys had black hair and sea green eyes, but one of them was a bit taller than the other. The taller boy was messing with the other boy as he was trying to eat some blue cookies.

"Tobias Chase Jackson, stop messing with your younger brother and Alvie, stop making those faces at your big brother…Percy!"

A man with medium length messy black hair with sea green eyes just gave the woman a goofy smile on his face as he held in his arms a small baby girl with blonde hair.

"Sorry Annabeth, but I've got Melody in my arms at the moment. Why don't you ask if Luke can help you?" He replied.

She sighed, but turned to the direction toward a teen with short blonde hair and grey eyes like hers'. He had his attention on his book.

"Luke dear, can you do something about your brothers?" She asked.

Luke looked up from his book; he couldn't help but chuckle at his mother's predicament.

"Of course mother, settle down guys, let's go in fathers' old room and play a game." He replied as he walked away with Tobias and Alvie close behind.

As they left, Annabeth was relieved, only if it was for a moment.

Percy sat toward her, holding Melody with one arm and placed his other hand on hers. Annabeth seemed to have calmed down as she gave her husband kiss on the cheek.

"Annabeth, you should be glad we're going to camp, so you can take a break. It will also benefit the kids to see their extended family."

"I know Percy, but what if something happens when I'm not looking. I don't want our children to get hurt.

"I know you don't, but their demigods like us, we're usually in danger half the time anyways." Percy joked as he laughed a bit.

"You can be such a headache sometimes, you know that Seaweed Brain?"

"I love you too, Wise Girl."

The doorbell to the apartment suddenly rang. Percy just smiled.

"That must be Nathan and his family, I'll get it." He replied as he handed Melody to Annabeth and headed to the door to find a familiar face.

"Percy, it's good to see you!"

"Glad to see you too man and I see Catherine looking as enchanting as I last saw her." Percy said as he smiled at the brown haired women.

"Percy, you can be so charming sometimes." She replied as she hugged him.

"And is that Andrew I see, you've grown quite tall last time I saw you. I also see little Lumia, she's the splitting image of her mother."

"Uncle Percy, I'm so glad to see you!" The boy said as he rushed in to give his uncle a hug.

Percy made a quick pass and kissed Lumia on the forehead as she was sleeping.

"Why don't you all come in? Andrew, the boys are in my old room if you want to hang out with them before we head out." Percy said as Andrew ran to the room, not forgetting to hug Annabeth. The rest of them headed right inside of the apartment.

"Ah Nathan, Catherine, its good you're here. Would you both care for a drink?" Mrs. Jackson asked as she entered the room.

"No thank you Sally, but I would like instead of a drink to have a great big hug from you." Nathan said as he smiled at her.

"You don't have to ask me that, Nathan, you're like the third son I've always wanted, besides Percy and Tyson." She joked as she embraced Nathan.

"Hey!" Percy said as he turned a bit red and the grownups just laughed.

"Annabeth, you're looking as beautiful as always and so is Melody." Catherine interrupted as she sat next to her side and hugged her friend.

"I could say the same for you and Lumia." She replied with a smile.

Suddenly without warning, two teen Jackson boys came running in and tackled Nathan to the ground as they showed bright smiles on their faces. Nathan, as he fell, made sure that no one would notice his left eye, but Percy noticed right away but smiled instead at the sight of his boys.

"Uncle Nathan!" Alvie yelled as he hugged his Uncle along with his brother.

Tobias smiled as well, "Uncle Nathan, good to see you!"

"Yeah, me too." Nathan replied as he cracked a smile.

Luke came walking in with Andrew close behind him.

"Uncle, you're looking well."

"Luke, as always you are looking more like your mother every day."

Luke turned all red and they all laughed.

"So since we're all present and accounted for, I think we should be going. I need to speak with Piper and Hazel about the plans for what we'll be doing while we're at camp." Annabeth said as she got up from the couch along with Catherine.

Nathan got up from the floor while carrying the Jackson boys.

"Good call Annabeth and if you don't mind me asking, why don't you let Tobias and Alvie drive with us. I bet Andrew will be happy, what do you think son?"

Andrew suddenly smiled brightly as did the two Jackson's.

"Please mom, can we?" Alvie pleaded.

"Alvie…..you whimper just like your father did when we were your ages. Oh all right, you boys have fun." Annabeth surrendered as the three boys hi-fived each other.

"Well at least for the ride there, Luke will have some piece and quite." Percy remarked and his eldest son turned a bit red.

"Sh…shut up, dad."

After that, they all said good-bye to Sally and they went in their respective cars and road off to the camp.
