#1: Christmas time with the Jackson's

Percy's POV

"Ow!" I cry out after falling off the ladder. Being a demigod and all, you'd think I wouldn't be this clumsy.

But it's been years since I was eighteen and was enjoying my final year at camp with Annabeth. Now, I'm a 27 year old father of mine and my beautiful wife's daughter Lucy. Lucy's four right now and is laughing hysterically at the sight of her own father falling off a ladder trying to hang Christmas lights. With a grimace a stand up and hear someone giggling, and it's not Lucy. I turn towards the front door and see her. Annabeth, my beautiful wife. I married her when I was 22 and she was a year younger. She holds a video camera. She got the whole thing.

"Say hi!" She says looking into the camera lens. "Christmas memories!"

I wave with a sarcastic smile on my face and Lucy jumps up and down waving with excitement. I look back at the ladder and sigh, here we go again. I climb the ladder again and manage finish the rest of the lights without more pain. Annabeth and Lucy are inside wrapping up the final Christmas presents. It's Christmas Eve and Lucy has never been more excited. Even though she's not a true demigod, I slipped a toy foam dagger in her stocking because she is my daughter. I walk inside and rub my hands together for warmth and meet Annabeth in the kitchen. She smiles at me as she continues to wrap a present.

"Hey." She says, focusing hard on the present.

"Hey." I say back. Even if we are married, we still have these awkward don't know what to say moments. So I do the logical thing, I kiss her.

She tastes like she always does, but with a hint of vanilla. We pull away and she presses her forehead to mine. Lucy makes gagging noises

"what was that for?"

"Can't a man kiss is wife for no reason?!" I ask, playfully.

"Fine, fine. sure." She says.

"and did you eat the last piece of cake?! I could taste vanilla icing!"

"Maybe..." She smirks.

"That was mine! Lucy told me I could have her final piece of birthday cake! Unfair."

"You do realize you sound like you're twelve again, right?"

"whatever." I mumble.

Lucy and Annabeth finish the presents and we all sit in the living room. Me and Lucy are busy working on a puzzle. It's getting intenseand by intense I mean, Ive been hit it the head with puzzle pieces about ten times. We finally complete the kitten puzzle and Lucy admires it.

"It's cute!" She squeaks in her tiny toddler voice.

"yes it is, very cute sweetie." Annabeth says, concentrating on her book while drinking hot cocoa. Classic Annabeth.

"It's getting late Lucy, bed time." I say.

"but daddy! It's only 7:28! I still have two minutes!" Lucy whines.

"but Santa won't come until you sleep." I counter. That gets her.

She quickly hustles into bed and closes her eyes tightly.

"Good night daddy, mommy. Go to bed, Santa is waiting. " and she's gone.

Annabeth and I share a smile and shake our heads. That's the me in her, the silly, childish side of herself. when she's upset or serious, usually involiving doll tea party disagreements, she gets very serious and irritable like Annabeth. this kid is gonna grow up awesome!

Annabeth's POV

i sigh as I walk down the halls, finishing the last minute decor for tomorrow. I feel strong arms wrap around my waist and grin. Percy buries his face in my neck from behind me and kisses me. I smile wider.

"hey Percy." Is all I say.

"hello beautiful wife of mine."

"Beautiful wife of yours?"

"I just love calling you my wife. Even after four years, it still feels so surreal and amazing. i think back to when we were twelve and it feels like it was just yesterday we first met and you told me I drooled in my sleep."

"you still do." I say.

"I love you."

"I love you, I don't even to say it, you know."

"wanna watch a movie?"

"As long as it doesn't involve, flying dinosaurs, evil mutant cyborgs etc etc."

He frownew but reluctantly agrees. He leads me to the bedroom where he has a nice little movie place prepared. The bed is covered in warm blanklets, hot cocoa cups are prepared with whipped cream and chocolate and my favourite Christmas movie is waiting to be played.

"Home alone? You know how much a love this movie!" I exclaim.

"I know. I know everything about you. I love you, did I mention that?"

"yes, you did. Why are you being so mushy all of the sudden?"

"you don't like it?" He frowns.

"no, I do, but I'm wondering."

"Well it's christmas, a time of love and joy. And I'm spreading my love for you. Merry almost christmas."

"Merry almost christmas." and kiss him long and sweet. I pull away and he grins.

THE NEXT MORNING

BEEP BEEP BEEP

BEEP BEEP BEEP

i literally jump out of bed and look at my alarm. Percy's still snoozing... and drooling. 10:50. Crap! I'm an hour off schedule! This is bad, really bad! I need to roast a turkey, and cook the rest of the dinner, and prepare for our friends to arrive! And what does Percy do, drool. I sigh and race out of bed. I get dressed quickly and head into the kitchen. I get the turkey ready and pop it into my oven. Then it's the rest of the meal. Boy have I got my work cut out for me...

TWO HOURS LATER

percy's POV

i wake up and hear clanging pots and pans and Annabeth rushing around. Christmas cooking. I don't wanna be down there while this Is going on. She'll probably rip my head off if I go down there. I decide to lay low for a while. A half an hour later, silence. I slowly Creep downstairs and see her standing there.

"what happened down here?" I ask. She holds up her hand.

"done. I'm done. TA DA!" She motions to the finished dinner.

"Wow,... Wow." Is all I can say.

i look around and snap out of my haze. The kitchen is a war zone! Pots all over the floor, flour caking the walls and Annabeth, and excess food was EVERYWHERE. I sigh.

"ok, whoa, let's clean this up." Annabeth shakes her head.

"you." She says. "You clean mr. sleepyhead. I'm done."

She walks into the living room and collapses on the couch. In minutes, she's asleep. And I'm left to my own devices. I sigh again and begin to clean. Gosh, she did make quite the mess.

An hour later with the brutal cleaning aside Annabeth wakes up again.

"wow, you actually did a good job." She says.

"thanks." I say. "HEY!"

She just laughs. And laughs and laughs.

"what's so funny?"

"we did It! Christmas is ready!"

"I guess, but it wouldn't matter if we had all this. Our friends would still come and we'd have a great time."

"no. I worked hard on this. It will be spectacular!"

"Ok sure, it'll be spectacular."

"good,"

The day went great after that. When our friends got here, Lucy finally ripped open all her was especially happy when piper gave her a beauty doll. Leo was still annoyed about her not liking his gift, it was autographed photo of himself... Yeah. But it was a night of laughs and catching up. jason and I even had a little battle for old times sake. It was nice to see the whole gang again. It's been so long since we defeated Gaea on the Argo 2. It was definitely a Christmas to remember... Dear gods I'm glad is over, all that work can really get to your head, and by that I mean Annabeth's head. I'm glad she calmed down and had a good time tonight. Because if there's one thing I've learned from loving Annabeth Chase, or should I say Jackson, is that she does not give up and is extremely stubborn. But that's what I love about her.
