Annabeth POV

I curled up on my couch flipping through channels on the TV. Nothing could catch my attention for long enough. For some reason my thought kept trailing back to Percy Jackson. Stop it. I tried to tell myself. Well it wasn't like I actually felt any... romantic... feelings towards him. I mean, we hadn't seem each other in like 8 years? Yep 8 years to be exact. and 5 months. I felt like slapping myself. Curse me for remembering the date.

Thank the gods Josh walked in at that moment. He sat down on the couch next to me. he grabbed my waist and pulled me into him.

"How was your day?" He asked smiling down at me. He had brown hair and these warm brown eyes that always made my heart flutter.

"Good, actually." For once. "I saw an old friend at Starbucks today." I said waiting for reaction.

"Oh yeah? Who was that?" He asked and kissed me.

I pulled away, "Percy. Percy Jackson." I'd told him about him before.

"Oh. Your ex-boyfriend." He didn't seem too thrilled.

I ran my fingers through his soft brown hair, "Yeah, him."

"I fixed the ring for you." He said and slipped the silver ring on my finger. "It's as good as new." He had fixed up a ring he had given me when we started dating.

"It's great." I said and kissed him again. "Percy gave me his number." I blurted randomly, kind of curious.

"It's probably best you don't talk to him." He grumbled. Josh didn't want me to call Percy (I still was) It sounded like Josh was jealous of my ex boyfriend.

Percy POV

Five year old daughters are a lot of work. You're especially in trouble if you can't make mac n cheese right. (Mine always comes out as plain noodles floating in cheese water) You're also in trouble if you can't dress her dolls correctly.

"Daddy." Lily was tugging on my sleeve, "Daddy, will you play with me?" She kept asking. It was already driving me insane.

"Maybe in a bit Lils. Why don't you play by yourself until I get done with my work." She put on a pouty face and did as she was told. She didn't look pleased. Lily set her dolls out at the table.

I huffed and pulled my lap top out of my bag. It wasn't looking too great after some jerky kid spilled soda all over it a while ago. I tried to concentrate on my work, but I kept thinking back to Starbucks today.

Annabeth's princess blonde curls and stormy gray eyes kept popping up in the back of my mind.

"When will mommy be home?" Lily asked while brushing her dolls hair. The doll looked an awful lot like Annabeth Chase.

"Um, I'm not sure Lils." I picked the doll up and looked at it for a moment. "Daddy are you playing!?" Lily got excited. "Um sure." I said, what did I have to lose.

"You can be her." She said gesturing towards the Annabeth look-alike.

"Alright then." I agreed.

"What are you gonna name her?"

"Annabeth." I said without thinking. It wasn't like Lily knew about my exes, so I was fine.

"Anniebneth." She echoed and picked up a doll with long black hair, "This one is Charlotte."

"Naming it after mommy?" I said grinning down at my daughter. I ruffled her dark wavy hair. "I think you should call her Lily because she looks just like you." I leaned in to whisper in her ear, "But you're much prettier." Lily giggled.

"No! She's Charlotte." She looked up and smiled at me. Her blue eyes twinkling. Everyone said Lily looked like me, but the one thing Lily had that I didn't, was Charlotte's eyes.

Just then the doorbell rang. Lily hopped off of her chair, "I bet it's Mommy!" She ran to the door and sure enough Charlotte was unlocking the door.

She knelt down to give Lily a big hug. I stood by the stairs eating a bowl of what was supposed to look like mac n cheese. Charlotte chuckled and took the bowl away from me, "What exactly is that supposed to be?"

Lily answered, "Mac n cheese! But daddy doesn't make it right!"

"Why don't you make dinner?" I said with my mouth full.

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, I probably should." Her tone darkened. "I'm really sorry. About everything."

Charlotte could apologize all she wanted. Some things you just can't forgive a person for. "Let's not talk about this in front of Lils."

She nodded in agreement. And lifted Lily up, "What do want for dinner sweetheart?"

Lilt grinned, "Mac n Cheese!" Me and Charlotte both laughed. Our kid sure had some personality. "She's just like you." I said quietly.

"She's definitely got my fire." Charlotte agreed as she was walking to the kitchen.

I turned the radio up and we started dancing and cooking. Just like old times. The old times were almost over.

Me and Charlotte were getting a divorce. I didn't want to. (Mostly for Lily's sake) But Charlotte had done some unforgivable things.

I loved her. But I guess love doesn't last forever.

What do you think Charlotte did?

What do you think of Lily?

Please let me know in a review!
