And now... For the infamous...
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Percy Jackson and the Olympians... Obviously since I am in no way, shape, or form Rick Riordan.
It has been three years since Percy had left her and their unborn child. Annabeth still lived in the same home, now with her two year old son Anthony Chase. After the divorce, Annabeth reverted back to her maiden name and decided that her son would take that name as well because his father was a low class... No. Annabeth promised she wouldn't use that language anymore. Even though its true, she thought.
Currently, Annabeth was browsing through the snack aisle with her son in their usual grocery store. Anthony was playing happily with his favorite toy. It was a blue sock monkey. That sock monkey had been with that boy for his whole life. Every now and then, something would catch Anthony's eye and he'd point at it like crazy in an attempt to persuade his mother to purchase it. It worked with the Double Stuf Oreos, the Cheetos, and the Chips Ahoy. As the pair continued their way up the aisle, Anthony pointed out yet another snack that he wanted to buy. "No Andy, no more snacks," Annabeth told her son. "We have enough."
Anthony did not like that. He scrunched up his face the way Percy used to and began to whine. The sight made Annabeth's heart clench. She didn't want to, but she couldn't help but notice the little things about her son that reminded her so much of her ex. Aside from the grey eyes that he had inherited from her, everything reminded her of Percy. Especially the unruly black hair. "Mommy! I want it!" Anthony had successfully pulled Annabeth out of her thoughts, temporarily getting her to forget about her Percy problem and focus on the problem at hand. She mentally thanked her son for the former.
"Andy, I said no." The look he gave her made Annabeth feel bad for not getting her son the desired Goldfish so she decided to make a deal. "If you want, you can get the Goldfish but you have to take one of your other snacks out." Anthony scowled from his seat in the shopping cart.
"I want all!" Annabeth could feel a headache coming on and she did not want to start a scene in the middle of the store. However, she couldn't back down now and give in. She had to be the one in charge.
"I said no and that's final," she resolved.
Anthony couldn't pull a full-on tantrum as he was strapped to the chair so he did what he thought was the next best thing. He threw his sock monkey to the ground in frustration. "Anthony Chase! You do not act like that ever young man."
"Here you go," a voice said as she turned to pick up the toy.
"Oh, thank you so much." Taking the toy, she looked up to meet the stranger's eyes and her heart stopped. "Percy..." She couldn't believe it. The man she had once loved was now standing in front of her.
"Annabeth..." He had a small smile on his face that seemed sincere enough but that only made Annabeth raise her guard even more.
"What are you doing here," she asked, trying to keep things civil for the sake of her son.
"Grocery shopping," he answered. "It's so good to see you."
How dare he, she thought. Screw civility. "Wish I could say the same."
"Look, I'm sorry for what I did three years ago," he said.
"How're things with Rachel," Annabeth shot, effectively avoiding the apology and turning the table back on him.
"She... Uhh... Cheated on me," he said lamely, looking down. Things were not going well for him. He so wanted to bury his head in the sand from the embarrassment.
"Oh the irony," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
It was silent for a time, Annabeth glaring at Percy and Percy gazing at the floor. Suddenly, he broke the silence. "So, uh, who's the kid?"
Annabeth narrowed her eyes at him. "That's Anthony, my son," she said coldly.
"Y-You have a s-son?" Percy looked shocked and somewhat hurt. Annabeth couldn't be too sure. His expression was guarded just enough so that she couldn't read him as well as she used to.
"Obviously. He's sitting right here."
"Where's his dad?"
"Not in the picture." Another moment of silence fell upon the former couple.
"Who's his father?" Percy shifted, beginning to feel uncomfortable.
"Why do you care," Annabeth snapped back at him.
"Well... Maybe I know him." Annabeth knew it was a lame excuse; Percy did too.
"You do know him," she said as she looked at him straight in the eye. Percy's eyes widened at the new information and he vowed to find the man that left her with a child and beat the guy to a pulp... Percy knew he did things that he wasn't proud of, especially leaving his wife for a skank who played him completely. She didn't care about him. He thought she did. That's why he complied to her wishes. She promised him spontaneity; adventure. That was what he had always wanted. To live his life, not trudge through it. Rachel had convinced him that Annabeth's set ways would always deny him that. The deal sounded so good that when Rachel showed him the divorce papers and told him all he had to do was sign, he did. It was definitely the worst decision he had ever made. The next day he showed up to work, Rachel told him that everything was taken care of and that all of his things were at her place until they could get him a new flat. He was shocked to say the least. Rachel told him that it was best to cut the ties altogether. He believed her. The next time Percy saw or even talked to Annabeth was at the drawing of the divorce agreement and on the actual court date.
That in itself was unforgivable, but Percy was dead set against anyone leaving their kid. That was the one thing he made a promise to when he was younger. He did not want to be like his own father, leaving him and his mother the moment he found out that she was pregnant. He swore that he would be there for his kid should he have one.
The next two words that left Annabeth's lips completely shattered his heart. Time stopped and the world started spinning. He had become his father. The one thing he told himself he wouldn't do, he did. He was stunned to the core as Annabeth stalked off with her son. He stood there in the middle of the aisle for what felt like forever those two words echoing throughout his mind.
"It's you."
