A/N: I'm going to post all the chapters now since I have finished writing it. Hope y'all enjoy.
The elevator doors opened with a ding and Percy walked towards the throne room on Mount Olympus. He had a bone to pick, but he was going to try and be nice.
Hence the word try.
"I told you he would show up." Aphrodite announced.
"Hello, Percy Jackson. What do you want?"
"I wish to speak with Lady Athena."
Athena sat up straight and demanded, "Speak."
Percy took in a deep breath, trying to keep his calm, "Have you looked at your daughter lately? She tries to hide her disappointment from me, but I can see it."
"No I have not."
"Don't you want her to be happy? I know you don't like me, which I can live with. Annabeth deserves to be happy."
Athena stayed quiet. Not many mortals have spoken to her in such a manner and she was beginning to lose her patience.
"Just go with her dress shopping. I know she will appreciate it. Is that so much to ask, Lady Athena?"
"I will think on it."
"Next Saturday is when they are going. Annabeth doesn't ask for much. Please just do this for her."
The other Olympians didn't know what to say to this and they looked at Athena as Percy turned around and left.
Four Months Later
Annabeth and Percy sat at the table at the front of the hall where they were having their reception. Annabeth held Percy's hand and he smiled at her. To Annabeth's right were her bride's maids, Piper, Hazel and Thalia. To Percy's left sat Jason, Nico and Grover.
Grover stood up and announced, "Thank you all for coming. We are here to celebrate the joining of my best friend, Percy, and Annabeth. They've been through so much together and they deserve to finally have a happy ending, one most heroes don't get. Here's to a happy marriage and a bright future."
Grover raised his glass and everyone else followed suit and drank.
Grover sat down and Thalia leaned forward and said loud enough for everyone to hear, "I haven't always gotten along with you, Percy, but for whatever reason, you make Annabeth happy. If that ever changes for the bad, I will hurt you."
Laughter erupted and Piper announced, "I think it's time for the happy couple to have their first dance."
Percy smiled and stood up, offering his hand to Annabeth's and they walked hand in hand to the dance floor. Everyone else followed them to stand and watch. Will and Kayla were in charge of the music and they played the song Percy and Annabeth chose for their dance.
The opening notes started to play and the happy couple started to sway to the music.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark.
Percy didn't take his eyes off of his beautiful wife. She was radiating happiness and Percy couldn't help but smile.
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
Annabeth was so happy. Now she understood why Piper was insisting that everything had to be perfect today, so she could just enjoy it.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
Percy couldn't believe they were finally married. After all these years killing monsters side by side, they would have a chance at a somewhat normal life.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
Annabeth couldn't wait to visit Europe. She wanted to visit every monument they found. She wanted to spend every moment she could with Percy. She could never seem to get enough.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
"Have I told you how beautiful you are today?"
"Only a million times, Seaweed Brain."
Percy smiled and kissed her.
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine
Piper smiled at the happy couple. The two of them deserved each other and a shot at being happy. Gods knows they have been through enough and needed a break from it all.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
Athena had to admit Annabeth looked happy. She was beautiful in the dress they all picked out. She placed her gift on the table and turned to leave. She looked back at her daughter and smiled slightly.
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The song ended and Percy and Annabeth stood there, holding each other close and they shared another kiss. Percy rested his forehead on Annabeth's.
"I love you, Annabeth."
"And I love you, Perseus."
"Do we have everything?" Annabeth asked for the thousandth time.
"Yes, dear." Percy answered as he put all of their luggage in Paul's car.
Jason was putting the last of the gifts into the camp's SUV and just shut the door when Piper came running out holding a medium sized box with silver wrapping paper and a big blue bow.
"Annabeth!" Piper shouted.
"Yeah?"
Piper gave her the box and said, "It's from your mom."
"My mother stopped by?"
"Looks like it."
Annabeth set the box down on the hood of Paul's and stared at it for a moment. Percy came up behind her.
"Are you going to open it?"
Annabeth nodded and carefully removed the wrapping paper. She opened the box and inside was a note.
Congratulations, my daughter. I hope you are happy, as that is all I wish for you. You have grown into a beautiful young woman and I'm proud of you.
Love, Athena
Annabeth set the letter down and moved the packing paper to the side. Inside, she saw a too familiar mark. Δ. The mark of Daedalus. She threw the packing paper and lifted up Daedalus' laptop.
"No way."
"Is that the laptop?" Percy asked.
"Yes. It looks like my mother went and looked for it."
Percy peered into the box and said, "Annabeth, it looks like she found your dagger too."
Percy held up the knife and sure enough, it was the knife Annabeth had for years. Annabeth clutched the laptop to her chest, afraid of losing it again. Percy put the knife back in the box and gave it back to Piper to put in the SUV to take it back to Percy and Annabeth's apartment. Annabeth put the laptop in her luggage bag, very happy to have it again.
Thank you, Mom. Annabeth silently prayed.
