I got this idea randomly while I was trying to go to sleep.

Disclaimer:I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Chapter 1

Hi, my name's Percy Jackson and I'm officially the worst husband ever to live.

I did something terrible and even worse someone saw me do it. The day started out normal enough except the fact that Annabeth was at Olympus and would be coming home later on. She always seemed to spend so much time up there, then again it's her job.

The only thing that made it a bit better was that the gods would come check on me from time to time when she was gone. They must've felt bad that they stole my wife from me so often.

I missed her. I missed her BAD.

"Daddy, I miss mommy," our daughter said with a pout after entering the room.

I mocked offense. "Are you saying you don't love me?" I picked her up and started tickling her. She laughed.

"Stop," she screamed. I put her down and she calmed down from her laughing fit. I replaced my excitement with seriousness. "Mommy's gonna be coming by in a little bit."

"She is?" Alex asked excitedly.

"Yeah," I patted her back and she ran off to her room.

I smiled to myself in content. One of the best things Annabeth ever did for me was giving me a daughter. She was beautiful just like her mother and as carefree as she should be. I reclined on the couch and smiled. My life wasn't too bad. After reaching adulthood monsters backed off a bit. It was unusual, but I sure wasn't complaining.

"You make a great father Perseus," I heard from my left.

I turned and saw Artemis leaning in the doorway and I wondered if she'd been there the entire time. She nodded and smiled confirming my suspicion. I wasn't the most alert demigod on the block.

She gracefully walked over and sat down on the couch next to me. I didn't think to start a conversation with her. Out of all the gods she intimidated me the most. I've heard plenty of stories about how… temperamental she could become. Alex came back in easing the tension and her eyes widened. "You're so pretty," she told Artemis.

"Thank you," Artemis responded. Her smile seemed to be genuine. I wasn't sure if her response would be the same if I had a son instead. She paused for a moment as if contemplating something, "You want to see a reindeer?"

Alex's eyes practically popped out of her sockets.

Artemis opened the door revealing her chariot and reindeer. They looked beautiful in the cold New York scenery. They didn't blend into their surroundings, but they did so flawlessly.

I saw a reindeer with golden antlers and glowing fur take a liking to my daughter. She ran out the door in an attempt to interact with it.

"Don't forget your jacket," I yelled after her, being the concerned father I am.

She threw on her padded jacket that was on the rack near the front door and ran outside to pet her new friend.

Artemis smiled as she watched Alex befriend a few of her reindeer. She stood as she went to go close the door behind my daughter.

"Wait!" I interjected. "I want to keep my eye on her."

She chuckled as she closed the door. "Don't worry, Blitzen and the rest can protect her just fine."

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. "You named your reindeer after Santa Claus's?"

She took her seat beside me and looked at me dead on. "I didn't get that name from him, he got it from me. That myth was based on me remember?"

It's fair to say I felt like a moron.

"Would you like some coffee?" I asked her while getting up to go look for some. It may or may not have been to change the subject. She looked pointedly at me. I blushed when I realized she was in twelve year old form. "Hot chocolate then?"

The right side of her mouth twitched and I took it as a yes. I grabbed a pack from the bowl that they resided and began to make it. I warmed the water in the microwave then mixed in the ingredients. I didn't know if she was a fan of marshmallows so I decided to keep them out. An awkward silence ensued all the while. I thought now was a good time as any to spark up a conversation.

"So, what brings you here?" I asked ending the silence. Although, I know I knew the answer, but I was desperate.

"Just checking on you," she said while inspecting my trophy case. "You played soccer?" she asked in an amused tone.

"It was back in grade school," I said trying to defend myself.

"Sorry, it's just, you in short shorts?" she joked.

"Real funny," I complained sitting back down. She sat gracefully and sipped on the hot chocolate.

"So," I started off awkwardly once again.

"Things don't have to be awkward between us," she said pausing between sips of hot chocolate.

"I know," I said twiddling with my thumbs, "it's because you're a godd-" I snickered. She had a hot chocolate mustache.

"What?" she asked looking confused. I gestured to her lips hoping she'd get the message.

She realized what I meant and I started laughing. She frowned at me.

"Sorry," I apologized and I burst into laughter again.

"I might have a hot chocolate mustache, but at least I don't have a head of hair with hot chocolate," she said as she poured some of it on my hair effectively shutting me up.

At first I was mad, but then I thought of the alternative, getting even. Well at least I don't have it on my face," I said as I tried to throw it on her face.

She caught my wrist and flung it at was hot to say the least, but it wasn't as bad as my embarrasment. I blinked it out of my eyes and shook my hair. Just one more time that my plans backfired on me. I heard a sparkling noise and I saw that it was her laughing at me.

I pouted at her. She always had a habit of rubbing things in didn't she? I then smirked when I noticed something. "Hey Artemis, you still got a little something right there," I said pointing to her upper lip.

She stopped laughing and glared at me.

The smile disappeared off my face. "I'm sorry Lady Artemis, I was just-" her face broke out in a grin.I frowned. So this is what she finds amusing?

She laughed again and I couldn't help but notice how it made her features light up. "Do you have a napkin so I can wipe off my face?" she asked seriously.

"Sure," I muttered as I got up and got one for her. Her legs didn't appear to be broken, but I'd be a pile of ashes if I brought that up.

When I returned I saw that she was looking out of the front window at Alex who was trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue. I didn't see the reindeer in view, but I'm sure they were there.

"She's really cute," she commented still looking out the window.

"Yeah?" I responded sitting back down next to her.

"She has your eyes and personality," she said looking back at me.

"The napkin?" she asked looking dead into my green eyes with her silver ones. We looked intensely at each other for what seemed like an eternity. My breath was taken away like the first time that I saw her. She was the epitome of beauty. Her eyes were like stars littering the sky on a clear night. Giving me a meaning to my life. They sparkled like diamonds and were a sight to be beheld. I knew I could never have her, she was out of reach and unattainable. I had one wish as I gazed into her eyes.

That she would be mine.

"Here, let me get it," I said in a rushed voice and before I knew what I was doing I put my hand on her cheek and kissed her.

Her lips were as soft as rose petals and she smelled like fresh pine. It was an unusual scent, but then again she was the goddess of the hunt. She grabbed my arm but she didn't pull away. After a few seconds she responded. Let me just say that she's a good kisser for a virgin goddess.

After ten seconds of bliss she pulled back. "You shouldn't have done that," she said while getting up to leave.

"Artemis wait!" I said getting up after tried to get away but I pulled her in for another kiss. I put both my hands on her waist and she wound her fingers in my hair. Her lips moved against mine harder than they did before.

I asked for permission and she granted it, both of us tilting our heads for more access. I pulled her closer and she relaxed into my embrace. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. My emotions for her were raw and untainted. Although it maybe a mistake it's one I'm willing to live with. Nothing else existed in this moment, it was our little piece of forever.

"Daddy?"

I have decided to edit all of the chapters I have done so far before adding a new one. I hope you enjoy the new and improved version.
