Hey y'all, I'm back again. I hope you weren't disappointed by the last chapter. So, if you're sad that this story is coming to an end, I'm starting a new Percabeth story which is kind of similar. But Percy becomes a god after TLO. Check it out; I have 2 chapters up so far. Now on with the story…AND the reviews! By the way, this isn't much of a chapter, but the ending is!

Percy Point of View…Next Morning

"Percy, I know I promised we would tell our other parents today, but I think I should at least tell Mr. Campbell that I am resigning," Annabeth began.

"Why, I thought you enjoyed your job?" I asked.

She continued, "I know, but it never felt right. I mean it was fine designing the Greek sets for your movie, but I don't know. None of the other projects appealed to me like the Greek ones do. Besides, when I quit this, I can go back to being official architect on Olympus."

I snorted, "What's the likelihood of that?"

I regretted it as soon as I said it, her eyes glared at me with instant fury.

"And what, Perseus Jackson," I flinched at the sound of my real name, "Is that supposed to mean?"

"Umm…just that they might be upset over…I mean come on Wise Girl…Your mom is probably super ticked that her favorite daughter ran away without telling her," I finished finally. I still wasn't relieved as Annabeth was staring daggers at me constantly.

It took her a while to loosen up, but she did eventually, and she sighed, "You're right, but the point is that I'm not happy with my job. I don't feel like I'm going to get anywhere with it."

"I understand. Hey, hey don't we drop by Mr. Campbell's office today and then head to Camp Half-Blood?" I proposed, coming up with a new plan.

"Sure, but why Camp Half-Blood?"

"I think that it's best to tell Chiron about Astrid and see what he thinks before telling the Gods. I also have a few apologies that I have to tell him," I frowned, remembering the last time I had seen Chiron.

When I looked up, I noticed Annabeth grimacing also. She must have also been remembering her last day at camp, and she agreed, "Yeah, we should probably talk to Chiron first."

2 hours later…Mr. Campbell's office

"Hello Mr. Campbell," Annabeth and I greeted the portly, old man as he saw us enter the building.

"Mr. Jackson, my, what a pleasant surprise! Alberta's, for some reason, isn't here yet. I'm sure she'll be here soon enough," he exclaimed. "And who are these two young ladies, may I ask?"

I could feel the confusion plastered on my face. How could he not remember his own employee? Amnesia, perhaps.

Annabeth had looked startled at first but then seemed to understand the misunderstanding, "Mr. Campbell, it's Alberta and my daughter, Astrid."

"Alberta, but…that's impossible. She had brown hair and blue eyes,"

In response, Annabeth dug into her handbag and pulled the named objects out. It was all just a wig, "Even ask Beth if you would like."

"She isn't here, but I believe you. So Alberta, what's with this whole disguise," he still looked bewildered.

"This is my true look," she replied simply. "My real name is Annabeth."

"Mr. Jackson, I guess you're not looking for Annabeth then, what can I do for you?"

"No, I'm not here for me, but I will be back later. Annabeth wants to say something, though," I mumbled.

"Mr. Campbell, I wanted to let you know that I'm resigning the post," she began but stopped when she noticed Mr. Campbell's mouth fall open in shock.

"Annabeth, you're best architect, you can't do that. Besides, what about Mr. Jackson's building project?"

"Another thing, I would like to ask Beth to be in charge of that project. She's been here longer than I have, and I've showed her all the design plans already," Annabeth replied.

"May I ask one question though? Why did you decide to quit?"

"I'm going back to my old job, and I don't think that this is the best position for me," she said.

"For her potential," I added. Mr. Campbell rounded on me, "Mr. Jackson, I am sorry for the inconvenience, but what is the purpose of your visit today?"

"I just came with Annabeth," I didn't want to give too much away, but he gave me big, questioning eyes. "She's my girlfriend."

I thought he was shocked when Annabeth announced her resignation, but this time, his jaw literally dropped to the floor.

"So Astrid…" he began.

"Yes, Astrid is my daughter," I smiled as I said that; it felt right when I announced it proudly.

We told him that we had other places to visit today, so he didn't get the fully back story. Knowing Beth, she would probably tell him the details later.

2 hours later…Camp Half-Blood…still Percy's P.O.V.

"Percy, I think the best option is to make sure Chiron finds out before the other campers. How about you go first and if you don't come back in 10 minutes, I'll take that as a yes to meet you and Chiron," Annabeth proposed.

"Deal,"

I paused in front of camp boundaries, remembering the last time I had been here, nearly 4 years ago. It brought back old memories, beginning from when I was 12.

I entered carefully, making sure that no one saw me and wishing that I had Annabeth's invisibility cap. I made my way to the Big House and knocked once.

The door opened, and the face that greeted me broke into a wide, open grin, "Percy! My son. It has been too long. Come in."

I entered the room. It looked exactly as I had left it 4 years ago.

"So Percy, what brings you here today?" his voiced echoed in the room, bouncing off the walls.

"Well Chiron, it is a bit hard to explain. I found Annabeth…" I began.

"Percy, that's wonderful, where is she…"

As if right on cue, the door opened and shut. No one was there, but 2 seconds later, I saw a flash of blond hair emerge from near the door.

"Chiron," she cried out as she ran to hug her 'second' father. I watched in content as Annabeth and Chiron got reacquainted.

After 5 minutes, she gave me a look, urging me to continue.

"I don't know how to phrase this, but I think it would be better to show you," I said.

Chiron's look became puzzling as Annabeth drew in air with her hand. She found the right spot, and took off the cap. Chiron's grew large again in wonder, "You mean to say you…"

"Yes, Chiron…" Annabeth replied with a smile.

"Where did you find her?"

I was confused by the question, and I could tell that Annabeth was too.

"Excuse me, but what was that?" Annabeth asked.

"This demigod, she's so young. How did you find her?"

"Chiron, we didn't find her. We're her parents," Annabeth announced.

Chiron's expression completely changed to one of wonder, marvel, confusion, but also horror as he whispered, "But that's impossible. I've never heard of anything like this before in all my years of living, Trust me, I know what I'm talking about."

"It's true. I, myself, just found out yesterday," I told him. Chiron's face whipped to face mine.

"Have you told the Gods yet?"

Annabeth squirmed, "Not yet. We thought that we ought to tell you before the gods. Who knows about their reaction?"

"Annabeth, child, I think it's best to tell them now. They might become angrier the more you delay it. You're in a bit of luck if you want to hit 2 birds with one stone. The gods are having a meeting on High Olympus tonight. Actually, it's starting in a half hour,"

"All right, we'll tell them," Annabeth exuded with confidence while I felt like a coward. Poseidon couldn't harm Annabeth, but boy; wouldn't Athena love to kill me?

30 minutes later

I threw a drachma into the fountain in my cabin and offered a prayer to the goddess Iris. Annabeth and I had decided that the best way to do this was to hide Astrid first.

The air around us shimmered as the gods came into view. They seemed like they were in the middle of arguing about something, again.

"Excuse me," I began but immediately felt stupid.

The gods turned and looked at us. I looked at 2 gods in particular, Poseidon and Athena. Both the gods had their jaws dropped wide open in astonishment.

"Annabeth, Percy," they both exclaimed.

"Annabeth, where have you been since you ran away? Why is the scum of seaweed here with you?" her mother scolded and then transferred her furious eyes to me. Annabeth's head faced down at her mother's disappointment.

My father, in the meanwhile, looked relieved that I was back, "Percy, my son, I'm glad you're back and have come to your senses again."

"What have you been doing these past 4 years?" Athena continued, trying to control her voice and temper.

"Mother," Annabeth began but didn't finish as the Gods' eyes grew enormous as they looked past us.

I turned around and swore. It was Astrid, right in plain view of the Gods!

Annabeth tried to salvage the situation, but Athena wouldn't give her a word in the edgewise, "Annabeth, who is she?"

I replied instead, "Lady Athena, this is our daughter, Astrid."

Another cliffhanger! How will the gods react? Find out sometime next week (meaning Monday) or possibly Friday. More reviews = Sooner Updates!
