Percy's POV
By the time Reyna had finished telling us what happened she was in tears.
"I'm so sorry Eddie. I should have protected her better," She said putting her head in her hands. Eddie walked over to her and took her hands away from her face and held them in his own.
"It's not your fault Reyna. You kept her safe for all that time before Percy and I got there," He said looking into her eyes. Reyna grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. I didn't mind. Eddie was just comforting Reyna. Eddie and Thalia have been practically inseparable ever since they got married 200 years ago. I knew that Eddie couldn't even comprehend cheating on Thalia so I let them hug for a minute. After that Eddie pulled away.
"I'm going to check on her," He said walking towards the infirmary.
"I can't believe he forgives me," Reyna said.
"I can. It wasn't your fault Rey and he knows that. You can't blame yourself. You didn't know what was going to happen," I said to her pulling her in for a hug that turned into a kiss. We went back to our personal quarters and got ready for bed. We crawled into bed and Reyna cuddled close to me.
Eddie's POV
As I walked to the infirmary I thought about what had happened over the last few days. I really meant what I said to Reyna. It wasn't her fault that Thalia had been hurt. She had killed the guy that stabbed her and kept her safe. That was all I needed her to do. I walked into the infirmary to find Thalia awake eating some toast and drinking a glass of water. When she saw me she smiled weakly. I could tell she was still weak and that was understandable. She had been stabbed in the heart. That took time to recover from. Even with our accelerated healing abilities. She would be fine within the next few hours. I walked over and sat down beside her on her bed.
"Hi Eddie,"
"Hey Thals," I said before pulling her in for a kiss. We stayed like this for a while before she pulled away.
"Alan says I can go back to our room for the night. But he did say no physical encounters if you get what I mean," She said, slightly blushing. I realised very quickly what she was talking about and I blushed as well. Yes we have had physical encounters, as Thalia put it, more that a few times in the last 1000 years, especially since we were married. I still couldn't believe it. I was married to Thalia. My world was perfect. I carried her out of the infirmary and into our room. I placed her down gently on the bed and cuddled up next to her. She returned the hug and we fell asleep in each others arms.
I woke up the next morning with Thalia still in my arms. I smiled and regretfully pulled away from her. I went and had a shower and got into fresh clothes. When I walked back into the room I saw Thalia sitting on the bed watching TV. I walked over to her and sat down next to her. She rested her head on my shoulder.
"Good morning Thals," I said as I kissed her forehead.
"Morning Time boy," She said, picking up the TV remote and turning off the TV. When the TV was off she pulled me in for a kiss. It lasted until we heard Alan over the intercom.
"Commanders, we have arrived at Chaos HQ," He said. I pulled away from Thalia as she went for a quick shower. I made the bed and made sure the room was clean. She came out of the bathroom and walked to the door where I was waiting. As we walked off the ship we met up with Percy and Reyna.
"Chaos wants to meet us in his office tomorrow. Says he has another mission for us," Percy said as we walked through the hallways of Chaos HQ
"But we just got back from a mission," Thalia whined. I agreed with her. Why was Chaos sending us on another mission when we had only just gotten back from one? He usually gave us at least a week to rest before we went on another mission.
"It must be urgent," I said. That made sense didn't it.
"If it was urgent we would already be in his office getting the briefing," Reyna said. I immediately knew the answer. I looked at Percy and he nodded.
Thalia's POV
Reyna made a good point. Then I saw Eddie look at Percy inquisitively. Percy simply nodded at him. I wonder if Reyna noticed. I will have to get the information out of my husband when we get back to our room. We arrived at the door to our quarters moments later. I walked towards the room I shared with Eddie while the boys went and sat on the couch. Reyna went and sat down with them. I gave in to peer pressure and sat down next to Eddie. I saw Eddie pat Percy on the back and heard him whisper, "good luck mate," This was weird. What were they planning. And then Percy got on one knee in front of Reyna and everything became clear.
Reyna's POV
I heard a light tapping and heard Eddie say, "good luck mate," What was going on? Why was Eddie saying good luck to Percy? And then Percy got down on his knees in front of me and pulled something out of his pockets. My hand went immediately to my mouth and my eyes went wide.
"Reyna, you and I have been together for a long time and I want to spend the rest of my immortal life with you. Will you marry me?"
