AN: Another chapter! Wow, at 13? Anywho, I'm getting a lot of votes for at the beach, and I've come across another idea as well. In front of Rachel is another option I've been getting, but we'll see!

Annabeth's PoV:

It was nearly time to go. Sally had been picked up by someone named Gina, and I didn't want to be a burden to Percy.

"Are you sure?" he asked, as he was coming in with Ben, covered in snow.

"Yeah," I said, helping him out of his jacket. "Thanks," he said, as I hung the jacket on the hangar. I reached for my purse, and he reached for my jacket.

"Here you go," he said, helping me get in it. I turned to face him, pulling my blonde curls out of the back of the jacket, and tied my hair into a ponytail. "I had fun," I said quietly.

Our faces were close, and I could hear his shallow breathing. Ever so slowly, we leaned towards each other, eyes closed, and....

"Daddy!" We sprang apart, our faces red. It was hard to tell whose was redder. "Yes, Ben?" asked Percy. Ben was on the floor, laughing. Jasper was poking him with his nose.

Percy smiled, and I saw that flicker of that "Parenting" look in his eyes.

He turned to me, our eyes meeting.

"I had fun, too," he said.

Annabeth's PoV:

"Riiiiinnggg!"

I jumped, halfway out of my bed, startled. Groaning, I picked up the phone, pressing my ear dazedly against it.

"Whaaaatttt?" I groaned.

"Oh, did I ruin your beauty sleep?" a familiar voice asked. "Oh hi, Grover. Need something?" I asked. "Yeah."

"Speak," I sighed, plopping back down onto my pillow.

"Juniper's freaking out. I need your help. I don't have a best man yet, and she says she'll throw the engagement ring away if I don't get a best man," he said, in his panicky-goat-boy voice.

I was surprised.

"You don't have a best man yet? Did Percy turn you down?" I asked. "Percy? Annabeth, I haven't talked to him in years!" he said.

"What?! But he's here-- in New York! I just met with him last night!" I said, surprised that Grover, out of all people, didn't know Percy was here. "You did? Man, if I knew that earlier, I wouldn't be afraid to go to sleep at night anymore!" he said angrily.

"Hey-- don't get pissed at me, goat boy. He's got a lot on his shoulders," I said.

"Okay, okay! Sorry. Can I get his number?" he asked.

"Sure."

Percy's PoV:

"All the right moves in all the right places!", screamed my phone.

"Wha-what?!" I stammered, waking up. Slowly, I moaned at reached for the phone, and held it against my ear.

"Helloooo?" I asked sluggishly.

"Pe-e-e-errrrcy!" cried a familiar voice on the other side.

"Grover?" I asked, hopefully.

"Perccyyyy!!! It's you! Man, I never thought I'd hear from you again! How's my little 'let's-go-without-any-actual-plan demigod?"

I laughed. He never changed.

"I'm good, man. What about you?"

"I'm gettin' married to Juniper! Actually-- that's what I called to ask about," he said, suddenly nervous. "Okay? Talk," I said, my brow furrowing.

"Do you mind being my best man?" he asked. "Sure! I'd love to. But-- someones gonna have to watch Ben for me," I said. "Who's Ben?"

I remembered Grover probably knew nothing about Ben or my get-together with Rachel.

"He's my son," I said. There was a slight pause.

"Really?" he asked quietly. Something was wrong about his tone. "I didn't know you got married," he said. "I-- sorta lost track of you after you changed your cell," I said.

"Who's the lucky woman?" he asked, attempting a teasing tone. Too bad it didn't work.

"Not really lucky. I suppose Annabeth didn't tell you I got divorced," I said tightly.

"You divorced Annabeth?!" he shouted. "Wha-- no! I never married her! We just met again around three months ago!"

"So who is it?" he pressed. "Err....Rachel," I mumbled. There was a pause, and I braced myself for Grover's response. Instead, I got a calm, quiet answer.

"You're divorced, right?"

"Yeah..." I said, still not letting my guard down. I heard a sigh. "Good," he said. "Okaaay???"

"Anyways," he said, leaving the conversation at a weird end.

"So you'll do it?" he asked. "Do what?" I asked stupidly. He laughed. "You haven't changed much, have you?" he asked. "I dunno," I said numbly, daydreaming about the smell of lemon soap, for some reason.

"You'll be my best man?"

"Oh-- that? Yeah, sure!" I said, snapping back to the present. "We'll find someone to take care of Ben, don't worry," he said.

"Okay," I said. "Juniper found suits for whoever was going to be our best man, and myself. She'll probably get a new one for you, though. I don't think red matches you in a suit."

"Oh. Do I have to see her?" I asked.

"Yeah. Maybe tomorrow, or something. One at camp, okay? You still remember how to get there, right?" he asked, a smile in his tone. "C-camp? Seriously? I haven't been there in ages!" I said.

He laughed.

"You know how to get there, right?" he repeated.

"Oh-oh- yeah, sure!" I said, amazed that I was going to go back to camp.

"We'll see you there, then," he said.

"Okay," I said.

My phone buzzed, signaling that I had another call.

"See you, Grover," I said, and hung up to check the other call.

Caller ID: Rachel

Oh, dear.

AN: I had 30 minutes to do this one too, so I'm sorry if I sounded rushed.

Keep those ideas coming!
