Annabeth POV
I stood behind the curtain at the hospital. Lily's sobs echoed all around the room. This just proves how bad of a mother I would be. I heard the sound of a woman in heels walking through the room. The brunette gave me a dirty look and opened the curtains, "Mommy!" Lily exclaimed.
I raised an eyebrow. So that must be Percy's wife. Or ex-wife I guess.
"Lily, honey you okay?" She seemed generally concerned.
I heard Percy's raspy voice, "Thanks for coming Charlotte, but I had it all under control."
"Honestly Percy, a little girl needs her mom in situations like this." I'm a naturally curious person and i was just dying to pull back that curtain and see the scene myself. At least I had my ears.
"What were you doing with Annabeth anyway?" Charlotte exclaimed.
"It's not like that Char. Lily likes her and we're pretty good friends." Percy sounded annoyed at this point. At least he was defending me.
"Fine." I heard the stomp of a foot. (Must have been Charlotte's) "But I'm taking Lily today." she walked opened the curtain hold Lily's good hand. The other one was in a bright green cast. Sort of like the color of Percy's eyes.
"And you." Charlotte pointed at me, her cheeks red from anger, "Stay away from my daughter."
"But-" I began to protest, but what was the point?
Lily waved goodbye and Charlotte got the hell out of there.
Percy came out rubbing the back of his neck, "Pretty crazy day, am I right?" He looked kind of sad. Well who wouldn't be? Charlotte pretty much stormed out of the room with his daughter. The daughter that she never paid much attention to.
"Totally. But not as crazy as those times we had together." My favorite son of Poseidon gave a pained smile, "You could say that. What'd you say we go somewhere? I just need to get my mind off of Charlotte right now."
"Fine with me." Then I winced remembering the blueprints I had to finish by tomorrow. Maybe I could wait a little longer.
"Cool." He smiled again. I guess the eyes did it for me. They always do.
Charlotte POV (I thought I'd try somethi ng new)
"Mommy?" Lily asked completely innocently.
"Yep, sweetheart?" I applied a thin layer of lip gloss and tried to smile, even though it felt next to impossible.
"Why were you mean to daddy and anniebeth?" Anniebeth? Cute. She even had a nickname for her. What was going on behind my back? I scowled.
"It's just what I had to do."
"Oh." Lily still had tears in her eyes.
"Don't get upset. I love you, okay Lily?"
"You sure?"
"Positive." I dug my nails into the steering wheel. Annabeth was going down. Charlotte style. I closed my eyes and grinned.
Lily didn't say another word the whole way home. Hopefully Percy wouldn't come back home. If he knew what was good for him, he'd stay out of our lives. Lily was mine. End of story.
