Two days before

"How long has it been?" She wondered wistfully. Her golden hair shone brightly as the warm glow of the early autumn sun peaked through the thin curtains of the window.

"Too long" He replied with almost the same tone. His sea green eyes flickered brightly with millions of memories of past adventures, and well remembered times.

The two sat on the floor of their living room, surrounded by various children's toys and books. The TV screen flashed almost every minute with the vivid colours of kid's cartoons. Amidst all the chaos, an unopened invitation lay innocently on the floor, in front of the couple, untouched.

The man decided to open the letter first, much to the discontent of his wife. He lifted the paper from the seal, and snuck a glance at the woman.

"Wedding, baby shower or one of his prank letters." He asked her curiously.

Her stormy grey eyes intensified for a brief moment, a thousand thoughts and possibilities swirling beneath those beautiful orbs.

"Honestly I have no idea. But judging from the envelope, it looks too formal to be one of those prank letters. Although it could be a wedding invite…" She shook her head. "Leo doesn't have the guts to do it." Annabeth decided.

The man sat there, thinking deeply.

"Percy, just open it"

He broke out of his thoughts sharply, and hurriedly unfolded the contents inside.

The invite read:

"Percy, Annabeth and family,

You are invited to: Calypso and Leo's wedding bash!

Yep, it's finally happening!

When: 28th September, Wednesday

Where: Camp Half Blood Long Island, New York 11954

By the time this get's to you, the wedding will probably be in two or three days time. Sorry about the late notice, you guys live so far away, and the stupid iris messenger wasn't working.

What to bring: umbrella, and jacket due to the occasional showers

You guys don't have to worry about this, sorry again I would have printed another one but the printer sort of caught on fire through my frustration. Stupid machine. Anyway, It's a long story I'll tell you when you get here

Leo and Calypso would appreciate you coming to their wedding!

RSVP: Iris Messenger yeah that's not working

Do you guys have a phone yet? Just text me back (632-8359) and I'll know you're coming. Heck, rock up, and it wouldn't even matter."

"Did Leo just print his wedding invitations on those printable birthday invitations for kids parties?" Percy asked, bewildered, once he finished reading.

Annabeth snatched the paper from Percy's hands and peered carefully at the writing.

"Isn't that the same one we used for Silena's birthday last year?" Annabeth said, appalled.

"That's what I was thinking. I distinctly remember that purple writing."

Annabeth looked so closely at the paper that the tip of her nose flattened against the paper.

"That is definitely white out. He's gone and written over the 'birthday' and put 'wedding.' And then he's basically crossed out all of the instructions with that red pen. Unbelievable! I can just imagine Calypso's face" Annabeth laughed then, thinking back to the various memories of Leo, and the strange and funny things he had done since she had met him.

"Honestly, you would think a son of Hephaestus would be able to whip us something as easy as an invitation." Percy said incredulously.

"Do you know how ironic that sounds coming from you? Now you understand why I call you seaweed brain. You can bake blue cookies for the school lunches, but you can't even make dinner without something exploding" Annabeth told him, ruffling up his hair, making Percy wince.

Annabeth stood up from the ground and moved to pull the curtains open so that the sun shone through to the kitchen behind them. She peered at the seemingly large 'for sale' sign on the front lawn. It had only been a week on the market, but Annabeth was worried the house wouldn't sell as fast as she wanted it too.

With three kids and Mrs O'leary, the simple abode that they had fallen in love with almost six years ago just wasn't big enough. Charlie, the youngest of the three, would move out of his cot soon, and he would have to find a room other than his parents one.

Annabeth tied her hair back, getting ready for the start of the day.

"Who would of thought that Leo would finally pull his head in and marry that girl?" Percy continued, setting the invitation down and stretching his arms, yawning.

"Even I didn't see that coming. I'll have to iris messenger Piper to see what's going on." Annabeth said out loud.

"If it's in two days time we'll have to start making our way down there in about an hour or two. I'll have to cancel work, Percy you might not be able to make that work trip to that reef you were going to." Annabeth continued, moving now to the kitchen to begin making breakfast.

"That should be okay, it was only for samples. I'll have to call the school for Silena and Bianca though. I guess Charlie's first swim lesson will have to wait." Percy sounded a little disappointed that his father son bonding time would have to wait, but he was just as excited to see his friends again.

"Is Silena up yet? We need her to start helping us pack" Annabeth asked him with gritted teeth, as she began to furiously whisk an egg mixture while performing multiple tasks at once.

Percy only just became aware what his wife was doing.

"Hey that's my job! Leave it, I'll continue, you go wake up Silena." He sounded hurt, and Annabeth sighed. She reluctantly gave up the whisk and slumped to her daughter's bedroom.

"Just don't go explode anything while I'm gone Seaweed brain. We're trying to sell a house you know." She warned suddenly, glaring at her husband before walking away.

"Anything for my wise girl." Percy mumbled.

As he continued stirring the egg mixture, flecks of egg spat out onto his arm. Then, when he went to rub it off, the inked Trident caught his eye.

Percy observed the tattoo on the inner of his arm and remembered. Remembered how dangerous and crazy his life was before he settled into married life.

Sometimes he missed the action, the thrill of running for his life. He missed the excitement of protecting his friends and meeting new monsters. He knew that would happen, especially how abruptly his life changed from chaos, to war and then to peace. But then he would see his children's faces, his wife and his home and all of that would melt away.

Percy turned his arm back, and continued stirring. In almost a second it was as if though the thought had never happened.

"Daddy, daddy! Look! Miss O'Leary is gone again." Silena urged her father with all her will to look at the shadow, of the rather large hellhound. The five year old stood on the kitchen stool, waving frantically at her father. Her black curls bounced around on her shoulders, as she looked at him with the same sea green eyes of her busy father.

"Hang on a second baby, I'm trying not to burn your breakfast." Percy said in the kindest voice he could manage as he finished off the eggs quickly. He didn't want to set off any explosions from either the fry pan or his wife.

"Daddy you forgot to put the blue food colouring in" Bianca said stubbornly, folding her arms as her grey eyes stormed over. The three year old knew if she stood on the stool she would get into trouble from her mother, so she instead sat patiently waiting for her breakfast. She wanted her mum to be in a good mood if she was going to braid her light chestnut hair for her.

"Sorry sweetpea, I'll put that in now."

In a matter of seconds, the eggs turned an azure blue. The colour change never seized to amaze the girls, and Silena stopped bouncing to admire her father's handiwork. Percy grinned at their priceless expressions.

Mrs O'Leary had been disappearing a lot lately, and Percy hadn't seen Nico or Will for a while either. He knew that they drifted a lot, from what Nico had told him, and that Will liked to travel. But that didn't explain why Percy's hellhound went hell bound.

Percy wondered what Will and Nico thought of Leo's wedding invite. They probably had the same reaction as him – dumbstruck and unconvinced. It was pretty sudden to say the least.

"In answer to your question Silena, I believe Mrs O'Leary is with Uncle Nico. Remember sometimes he borrows her for his special work?" Percy set the plates down on the placemats, with the blue omelettes steaming with heat. Bianca didn't wait for it to cool down, and began to scoff her breakfast down eagerly. Silena however, was unhappy with her father's answer and stood stubbornly with her arms folded.

"Why can't he borrow me for his special work? I have to show Uncle Will my drawing." She asked, tilting her head to the side and dropping her bottom lip.

Percy chuckled. "I don't think you would be strong enough to do Mrs O'Leary's job. Don't you think?" He reached over and poked her tiny spaghetti arm. Silena managed to smile in return.

"She wouldn't but I would." Bianca said proudly, licking her fingers before rolling her pyjama sleeves up. With a toothless grin she flexed her scrawny arms that were even smaller than her older sister and kissed what she thought was her bicep.

Percy almost burst out laughing then and there. Bianca always came out with the most random and funny things. Though she sometimes went quiet around her obnoxious sister, and let Silena talk Percy and Annabeth's ears off. She was smart too, and knew how to avoid getting into trouble, with her parents pre occupied with baby Charlie, and Silena's first year of proper school.

"Who taught you that one?"

"Aunty Piper. She said Uncle Weo does that all the time"

Percy laughed again. She was learning strange things from her family.

Annabeth came out of her room suddenly, and over to Percy with Charlie on her hip and a bottle in his mouth. Percy kissed Charlie's face and softly ruffled his golden tufts of hair.

"How's my little man doing today?" He asked him. Charlie gazed back at him, smiling through the bottle, making a happy baby sound.

"The bags are packed Percy. Once we've had breakfast, we really should be heading off." Annabeth shot a warning glance at Silena who immediately sat down on her stool.

"Where are we going mummy?" Bianca asked. Her omelette was finished and she rolled down her sleeves.

"A road trip sweetie. Your uncle Leo and aunty Calypso are getting married!"

There was a minor silence as the news sunk in, Silena put a hand over her mouth as Bianca's dropped open.

Suddenly they darted a look of excitement and glee. They slid off their stools and began dancing around each other.

Percy and Annabeth shared a look of amusement as Charlie chewed on his bottle obliviously, unaware of how special the moment would be when the heroes of Olympus came together once again.
