Twelve years ago.
"Annabeth you forgot to pick Sofia up from preschool. I had to promise my boss to work this weekend for free to be able to go get her."
"Not my problem. I had a presentation to prepare for for work, I couldn't go get her. My career could skyrocket if I get this promotion."
"So your jobs more important than your child."
"I never said that."
"But it was implied." Annabeth started to glare. This was another thing that they always argued about, Sofia.
"It wasn't my idea to have a kid this early in my life. I made it clear that I wanted to wait but you couldn't understand that."
"Hey don't put this on me. You're the one who wanted to get an abortion,"
"But you wouldn't pay for it."
"I don't believe in it." They were screaming now, which woke up Sofia.
"Well not all of us can be saints Percy. I didn't want a family this early but you insisted we get married, you insisted we move to Maine, buy a house, what do I have a say in. huh."
" I was more than happy to get an apartment, you wanted to get married before your dad went back to San Francisco, I wanted to get married at Montauk but decided to get married at city hall. If anything you make all the decisions, not me." Screamed Percy, who was quickly starting to lose his patients.
"Well I didn't want to get married at a place that smelled like seaweed."
"Not everything is about you annabeth."
"Nothing is about me."
'You make everything about you. Did you even look at the card Sophie made you for mother's day? No you didn't you just threw it away. She's not you Annabeth; she's not going to do everything perfectly like you did."
"Yeah well she is your daughter."
"That's it. I am sick of you whining and bitching. If you don't want to be married to me then leave."
"Fine I will, and don't expect me to ever come back."
1 year later.
"Miss annabeth chase you are suing for the house the care and the joint bank account, as well as the separate account that you came into the marriage with, is that correct?"
"Yes your honor."
"But not for custody of your daughter."
"No"
"Well my decision is just that much easier to make, I award sole custody of one Sofia Minerva Jackson to one Perseus Jackson. The house, the car and the bank account will go to Mr. Jackson as well. Ms. Chase you will leave this marriage with noting but what you came into it wit which is the separate bank account. Am I understood? You are abandoning your daughter and that does not settle right with me. You don't deserve her and god help you when you meet your maker."
"You can't-"
"I can do whatever I want. Have a good day to the both of you. Court adjourned."
After the court had ended Percy went out to call his mom and tell her the outcome, but before e could even pull out his phone annabeth was there yelling at him
"You jackass. You ruined everything. Why can't you just drop dead?"
Percy just smirked, "because then that would make you happy and I don't want that."
She screeched then stormed off, like a drama queen. After getting off the phone with his mother he started to go to his parents' apartment to get his daughter then to head home. On his way he passed central park and saw just the people he wanted nothing to do with. The gods of Olympus who can't mind their own damn business. Most were indifferent to the divorce. But plenty did take sides. Percy: Posiden, Apollo, Hermes. Annabeth: Athena, Artemis Hera. Notice a gender split anyone. Posiden Athena Hera Apollo and Hestia along wit Zeus and Hades were there.
"Hope your glad you just destroyed my daughter's heart you scum." Sneered Athena.
"Oh please it's your daughters fault. If she had taken the time to pay attention to anybody but herself then they wouldn't be getting divorced now would they."
"Don't even posiden –"
"What do you guys want?" Shouted a very tired and irritated Percy.
'Want to warn you. Stay away from my daughter-"started Athena but Percy interrupted her by saying
"Only if she stays away from me. That includes no phone calls, even to Sofia."
"Annabeth is smart, she's leaving this god forsaken place. Moving to California to work for a prestige architectural company and has no intent to ever contact you again. If I had known that you would distract her this much and held on this long I would have given her the money or at least caused an accident. That child is no grandchild of mine and I will not acknowledge the child as such."
Good now leave and don't contact me again. Sofia is the only redeeming quality from my marriage and I will cherish her. Now go away."
