Sorry for the wait. Here is the new chapter


Percy

The rest of the night went amazing. After dinner, we went down to the beach, something I haven't done since my father's murder. While Annabeth's mother was talking on the phone, Annabeth and I went walking down the beach.

"So, what do you like to do for fun Percy?" She asked.

"Well, I love to swim, and I like to play guitar. But I've been swimming since I was three. But by that time, my father wasn't around. What about you?" She thought for a second.

"Well, architecture has always been a dream of mine. Designing buildings, improving art designs, that kind of things." Wow, that's impressive. She is my age, and yet she dreams big.

"Wow, impressive Annabeth." She blushed.

"You think so? Luke didn't think so." Ah, an idiot boy crushed her spirit and heart. No wonder she had been nervous at the diner.

"Look, I hate shooting people down. If that's your dream, then go for it." She smiled and we stopped at a washed up log to sit. We looked at the stars, and she put her head on my shoulder. I smiled and put my arm around her.

"Your beautiful, you know that?" She blushed deeper.

"Stop Percy." I smiled.

"Why? It's true." Before she could say anything, I gave her a kiss. It wasn't like the first few kisses, it was a soft and loving kiss. When I pulled away, she had a dazed look.

"Not matter how long, I'll wait for you." I whispered in her ear. She shivered lightly and kissed me again. I could tell that I was slowly winning her hearts trust.

"Damn it Percy, quit it." She said, breathlessly after pulling away. I smiled at her.

"Quit what dear?" I asked, playing innocent.

"You know damn well what I mean." I thought for a minute, then it came to me.

"Oh, you mean this?" I leaned down, and gave her another soft, loving kiss. This time, however, she placed her hand around my shoulders, not allowing me to pull away. Not that I would anyway. We were like that until the need to breathe became necessary.

"Yes...that." She panted. I smiled.

"Good to see I'm winning your hearts trust, even if it's slowly." She smiled and I hugged her, lying down on the sand.

Athena

Oh, if only they knew I was right above them, and heard and saw everything they did. But I wouldn't interrupt this, unless if they took a huge step. But Percy knew when to stop, and they laid down in the sand. Oh Dave, if only you could see your daughter.

"But I can see her honey." I looked to see...my late husband!

"Dave! How...how can this be?" He smiled.

"The good lord allowed me a short visit. But that is not why I'm here. You need to move on from me Athena." I began to tear up. How could I move on from Dave? He took my hands in his. I was surprised by how he solid he felt.

"I know it will be difficult, but you must forget me. What we had was special, but now you have to find someone who can take care of you, and of our daughter. I will always be watching out for you two. And remember, I'll always love you." Tears were now falling.

"I can't Dave."

"You are strong Athena, and you will find someone like me soon." A light appeared beside him.

"I am being called back my dear. I must be going. Remember, I love you both." He gave me one last kiss, and then, vanished. I looked down to see Annabeth and Percy standing up. Who could I date that'll be like Dave to take care of Annabeth and me?
