Okay, no objections to the song, so I am guessing it was okay. New chapter, new day, new ideas. Enjoy. :)
Annabeth
I don't know when Percy got back to the hotel, but I'm glad he did. I started to have a nightmare where Percy died moments before we're supposed to enter the Empire State Building. Because we've been together for a long time, I can tell when he comes into bed. One way is my horrible nightmares becomes soft dreams. Yes, Percy has that much power over my mind. He's the only one who can calm it, and me, down. And I deeply appreciate that.
"Annabeth, wake up sweetie. I got a little surprise for you." His voice says, waking me from my sleep. I look at him, seeing his smiling face as he holds Thalia, who is just waking up.
"What is it Percy? And more importantly, can't it wait till morning?" He chuckles.
"It's eleven o'clock hun. You slept all night and part of the morning." Oh, is that why the sun is peeping through the curtains? Huh, I must have had my head under a pillow or the blanket.
"Alright, just let me get a latte and then show me the surprise."
"Oh, there's one on the counter. Sorry, I just have to show you this." I chuckle as I take a big drink of the liquid life. I sigh as the warmth spreads through my body, slowly waking me up.
"Alright, what's the surprise?" He smiles as he puts a CD in the CD player. I sit on the couch as he hits play. After a few seconds, music starts playing. At first, I'm confused, then I hear Percy's voice singing the lyrics to Sunset Cove. My jaw literally hits the floor.
"Surprise honey." He says with a smile on his face, letting Thalia down so she can dance. I just keep looking at Percy, who is smiling. At the end of the song, he sits beside me.
"I figured since music is our strongest bond, why not? Like it?" At first, I couldn't speak. Then, I look at him.
"Like it? Percy Jackson, you are a constant reminder of how much I love you." I say, tears falling down my face.
"Glad you like. I did that all for you and Thalia." Right as he said that, the little girl jumps into his lap.
"OOF! See?" He says, tickling her tummy.
"STOP DADDY! IT TICKLES!" We all laugh. Why can't it always be like this? Just us being one happy family. That is not to much to ask, is it?
"Only to the Gods honey. And no, you were speaking out loud this time." Oh. That's the first time I did that in a long time. Since I was five.
"We can stay her for a bit. A day or two at the most. But then, we have to go to New York." Percy offers.
"That sounds perfect Percy." And that's the truth.
