"Momma!" Tony giggled, clinging on to my leg.
"Hey, baby." I smiled, lifting him up.
I felt arms wrap around my waist from behind and smiled.
"Hey, Wise Girl." Percy whispered.
"Hey, Seaweed Brain." I whispered.
Percy leaned in to kiss me but Tony started giggling and waving his hands between us,
"Ewwww."
Both Percy and I kissed Tony on the cheek, causing him to giggle even more.
"Daddy! Look what I found!" Logan exclaimed, from the bathroom.
"What, buddy?" Percy chuckled.
Logan ran out with 6 tickets in his hands. I put Tony down and slowly walked towards Logan.
"Logan! How did you find them?" Percy yelped.
"I was looking for my toothpaste and found them in the drawer." Logan giggled.
Percy started to reach for the tickets but I snatched them out of Logan's hand. I read what the tickets said, gasped and threw my arms around Percy.
"Oh my gods! You got us tickets to Hawaii!" I exclaimed.
The kids starting screaming in joy and Percy laughed.
"Is that why you've been going to NYC, daddy?" Silena asked.
I raised my eyes and looked at Percy. Percy looked quite embarassed and nodded.
"Yeah, princess. I had to work for actual mortal money so I could pay for all 6 of our tickets." Percy replied.
I kissed Percy and smiled. All the kids giggled and ran upstairs, getting their toys together.
"Let's go start to pack." I suggested.
"So when exactly do we leave?" I asked.
"Saturday." Percy replied.
"So we basically have 24 hours to pack." I said.
"Yep." Percy laughed.
"Oh gods." I chuckled, throwing some of my clothes at him.
"Hey!" Percy exclaimed.
"Momma!" I heard Tony yell.
"You," I said to Percy. "Pack your clothes."
I ran to Tony's room and saw that he was trying to decide between his stuffed Cerberus, Ms. O'leary, and his stuffed Hydra. Logan just finished stuffing his book of Greek Myths and his stuffed Medusa in his backpack. I still couldn't believe that none of our kids knew about their parent's past, but at the same time I was thankful.
"Ready, Logie?" I asked.
"Ready." Logan smiled.
Tony frowned and held up his Hydra and Cerberus. I giggled and took his Cerberus. Tony cheered and giggled, taking his Hydra and hugged it tightly. I took his Cerberus and Logan's backpack.
"Hawaii." Tony smiled.
"Yeah, we're going to Hawaii, Tony!" Logan smiled.
"Mommy!" Silena yelled.
I sighed and ruffled Tony's hair before going to the girls' room.
"Yes, Silena?" I asked.
"Here's my backpack." Silena replied, giving me her backpack.
I smiled and took it in my hand along with Tony's stuffed Cerberus and Logan's backpack.
"Alex, do you have your things packed?" I asked.
"Wait." Alex replied, stuffing in her stuffed hippocampus in her backpack along with her drawing book that Lela got for her birthday.
"Here you go, Mommy." Alex grinned, handing me her backpack.
"Thank you, sweetie." I smiled, kissing her head and heading back to my room with all of the kids' things. I put them neatly near the door and went to my closet, walking past Percy who was trying to fold his clothes.
"Annabeth!" Percy called.
"I'm coming, Percy. Just let me get my own clothes." I told him.
I got 5 pairs of shorts, 2 pairs of skinny jeans, 7 t-shirts, 1 sweater, and 6 bikinis. I folded them nicely and placed them in my own suitcase. I also got the other necessary stuff for me like socks and bras and ect. I finished packing the whole families toothbrush, toothpaste, brushes, and headbands in a separate pouch and then went to help Percy fold up his stuff.
"Finally." Percy sighed.
I giggled and helped Percy with the final packing.
By the time we were finished, after all the stomaches were fed, after all the little ones were put to sleep, it was midnight. That meant, we left for Hawaii in 9 hours.
"Get some sleep, Wise Girl. You need it." Percy whispered.
I nodded and face-planted on to our bed. I heard Percy chuckle and whisper good night before turning off the light.
Done. Finally done with this chapter :D Now y'all know why Percy has been leaving. I just came up with that today lol. Feedback required for the next chapter
