This one's a tad shorter than all the others, sory about that.
Percy held the door open for his fiancé and their daughter, Sophia giggling about how "only Prince Charming would do that." He shared a glance with Annabeth who nudged him playfully, indicating her faith in him.
The place hadn't really changed since last time he had been there.
Except Sophia. Last time they were here, she wasn't.
"Jackson's?" they were ushered in to the judge's office by a perky blonde. "Judge Brian Stewart will be with you shortly."
Percy looked over his daughter's head to see Annabeth's reaction. She looked as shocked as he felt. Mischievous and shocked. This would be fun.
"Ah, Mr Jackson, how are you?" The older man walked in holding the required certificate. He was yet to see Annabeth whose face was covered by Sophia's - who was one her lap - head.
Percy shook his free hand. "I'm good, Your Honour, what happened to you, though, are you still a divorce arbitrator?"
The judge shook his head, "Oh, no, divorce is depressing. All the shouting and the hate. But marriage is something hopeful, you know, the love before it all goes sour. It's funny, you'd be surprised how many couples I've divorced come back to be remarried." The man chortled but Percy just smiled and nodded knowingly, like he wasn't surprised. "And how's your ex-wife? And Sophia?" He asked, noticing the girl sitting on a woman's lap, though unsure of who the woman was.
"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Annabeth piped up, smirking at the surprised judge as she popped her head up from behind their daughter, extending her hand around Sophia for a handshake.
Judge Brian Stewart looked stunned momentarily, his features then transforming into a sly smile.
