"Daddy! Daddy!" An alert little girl tugged at Percy's hand.
"Yes, Bianca?" Percy patiently asked.
"Mommy!" Bianca pointed at Annabeth, who was walking closer with a baby in her arms.
Percy and Bianca ran to greet the two.
Annabeth saw Percy and Bianca standing together waving like crazy. The two were so alike, with their black hair, green eyes, and their tendency to overprotect the people they loved. She looked down. Charles was asleep in her arms, drooling. Well, we know where he gets that from...Annabeth thought, amused. Seven years and her love for Percy hadn't diminished whatsoever.
The family joined up, and paid for tickets to the Animal Forest, Quarter-Blood complex's new attraction. Quarter-Blood was a place where demigods could get married and settle down with their families.
They trooped around the forest for an hour, oohing and aahing at the rainbow parakeets and laughing at the monkeys, Charles sleeping the whole time.
Present Hazel whispered to Leo, "They are perfect for each other!"
"Almost as perfect as you and Frank and the kissing in the back of the ice cream truck!"
"EW! That sounds like we were making out!"
"Hush," Leo whispered. "I wanna see the story."
Hazel frowned but kept quiet.
Future Percy said to Bianca, "Sweetie, I have one more surprise!"
"EEEEE!" Bianca jumped up and down, clapping her hands.
Blackjack swooped down from the skies and landed in front of Percy, Annabeth, Bianca and the sleeping Charles. Bianca ran over to the horse, stumbling once or twice, and hugged his neck tightly. Bianca was quartergod, but she still retained the ability to talk to horses. Blackjack knelt down and Bianca clambered on, followed by Percy and Annabeth. They soared, flying high, the wind in their faces and their hair sticking out, it could not be more perfect. Even Charles woke up and smiled toothlessly. Percy made sure that both Bianca and Blackjack weren't looking, and gave Annabeth a loving kiss.
