Hello everyone! So good news I got a new laptop which means more fanfiction! Thanks everyone for understanding! I love you all :) I don't own PJO.
I woke up to find Max had already left the room. I walked out to the kitchen/living room to see Clarisse, Chris and Max siting at the table talking. I went to go sit down next to Max.
"Morning beautiful." he said then gave me a kiss.
"Morning." I said. Clarisse looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"What you have a boyfriend?" I said.
"Whatever." she said. Mrs. La Rue came in with plates of food. She set down three plates of food with bacon, sausage, and eggs with toast. Then she set my plate down. What was it may you ask? Two pieces of burnt toast with a thin layer of jam scraped across the top. Yum I think I am going to be stuffed. I looked at Max and he just smiled and put his hand on my leg. Mrs. La Rue took a bite of bacon and looked at me. This will be a long day but at least I have Max. As if on que:
"Oh Max dear. Could you, Chris, and Clarisse help Josh out at the Rib-shack?" she asked.
"Sure mom." he said.
"Oh I would love to help around the house." I said.
"Great I have work for you to do. Emma is also going to come over and help me." she said. I took a bite out of my toast.
"Max Chris and I are going to go to the rib-shack." Clarisse said.
"Cool I'll meet you there soon." he said.
"Well I think that I am going to go get ready. Thanks for breakfast Mrs. La Rue. I said. She didn't even acknowledge my thank you. I walked towards Max's room then I heard them talking.
"Mom why are you being like this?" Max asked her. I peered my head around the corner.
"Like what dear?" she asked innocently.
"Cut the crap mom. Ever since Carter got here you have treated her like crap." he said.
"Letting her stay in my home and feeding her is treating her like crap?" she asked.
"You made an all meat meal last night and gave her burnt toast. Why are you treating her like this? You didn't treat Emma like that."
"Carter isn't right for you. She will dump you for some rich prince."
"No she won't. Carter makes me extremely happy and I don't get why you can't except that."
"She doesn't fit in. She is a rich princess. You come from a small town middle class family."
"She doesn't care about that. You just want me to get back together with Emma, don't you?"
"Yes I do. Emma is a sweet girl who is perfect for you." she said.
"Emma broke my heart. Carter wouldn't do that to me. I'm in love with her not Emma."
"Max she will leave you for another guy. Emma loves you."
"Mom what do you know about love? You dated a god who got you knocked up." I couldn't believe he said that.
"Maximus! How dare you say that!" She screamed.
"It's true. I want you and my girlfriend to get along so try a little harder please." Max asked.
"Fine." she said Max started to walk my way. I ran into his room and sat on his bed. He walked into the room.
"Hey beautiful." he said then walked over to me.
"Hi. Are things ok with you and your mom?" I asked.
"Yeah just a little disagreement." he said. Then grabbed me around the waist.
"I will try to get along with your mom." I said.'
"Good luck with her. I love you more than anything." he said then gave me a kiss.
"I love you too. I want this relationship to last which means I need to get on your moms good side." I said.
"So do I. Well I need to go help Josh. See you later." he said then gave me another kiss. After he left, I got dressed and went into the kitchen. Mrs. La Rue was getting something together.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked.
"You can set the table for eight people." she said.'
"I thought there was only seven of us?" I asked.
"My mother is joining us for Thanksgiving." she said.
"Awesome do you want help with the cooking?" I asked.
"Emma and I will take care of that." Mrs. La Rue said then there was knock at the door and Emma walked in.
"Hello Mrs. La Rue! I brought some pans." Emma said.
"Oh please call me Mary Anne, Emma." she said.
"Fine. Hello Carter." she said to me with a glare.
"Hi Emma." I said gritting my teeth. I set the table and walked in to see them talking and cooking.
"Can I help with anything?" I asked.
"No thanks!" Emma said.
"Well then I will um just go get ready for dinner." I said then walked to Max's room. I put on a sleeveless red dress and my red heels. It was like seventy degrees in Aimesly today.
About two hours later...
I heard another knock at the door and decided to get the door to help out. I walked over and opened the door to see an elderly woman with snow-white hair.
"Hello." I said.
"Clarisse?" she asked with a shocked expression.
"No I'm Max's girlfriend. Clarisse is at the rib-shack with her boyfriend, Josh and Max." I said.
"Oh you must be Emma then." She said.
"No I'm Carter." I said.
"Oh dear . I'm terribly sorry I haven't talked to Max in months." she said.
"That's fine. Mrs. La Rue and Emma are in the kitchen." I said.
"Thank you dear." she said. She went in and said hello to Mrs. La Rue and Emma.
"Mrs. La Rue why don't I keep your mother company?" I asked.
"That's a lovely idea!" the older Mrs. La Rue said. The two of us walked over to the couch to talk.
"So your Mrs. La Rue's mother?" I asked.
"Yes you can call me Fannie Lou or just Fannie." she said.
"Ok. Wow its great to meet you." I said. She was so sweet, then again so was Mrs. La Rue until I explained who I was.
"Sorry to ask, but are you that Princess from Greece?" she asked which shocked me.
"Actually yes I am. How did you know?" I asked.
"Oh well when I was younger before I got married, I saw your grand-father speak at a conference and your family has been in the news lately." she said.
"Oh wow that is so cool that you saw my grand-father. I hope it was good news that I was in."
"Yes it was. It was that your family was visiting New York City for a banquet."
"Oh yes I remember that banquet. Your not mad about my background are you?" I asked.
"No why would I be?" she asked.
"Oh well your daughter doesn't like that I am so I didn't want to upset you as well." I said.
"I think you're a fine young lady. How did you meet Max?" she asked.
"Well actually he saved me from a monster while I was in New York. Then we both went to Camp Half-Blood." I said.
"Oh that is so wonderful! So who is your godly parent?" she asked.
" I am the daughter of Zeus." I said.
"Very nice. So how long have you and Max dated for?" she asked.
"Well he asked me to fireworks on July 4th and ever since then we have been dating." I said blushing a little bit.
"Oh you have that look. I can tell you really love him. He is such a lovely young man." she said.
"Yes I love him with all my heart." I said. He was wonderful and I couldn't picture myself without him.
"If you want my opinion, I think you are a way better choice for Max then Emma." she said.
"Oh thank you." I said.
"Absolutely, well hopefully they will get here soon. I want to see my grand kids and also see Josh and Chris." We sat and talked a little more than the door opened. Max walked in followed by Chris, Clarisse and Josh.
"Nana!" Max said then walked over to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Clarisse came over and did the same.
"Hello dears." she said. Clarisse, Chris and Josh walked over to the kitchen to say hello to Mrs. La Rue and Emma.
"Maximus I hope that is not what you're wearing to supper." Fannie Lou said about his worn out tee-shirt and jeans.
"No ma'am. I am going to put on a dress shirt and slacks." he said. Then he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Oh and I was talking to your lovely girlfriend. Don't let this one go she is a keeper." she said with a smile.
"I'll try not to mess things up." he said smiling at me.
"Supper will be ready in 30 minutes!" Mrs. La Rue said.
"Well I am going to go freshen up and meet the two of you in ten." Max said.
Suddenly my vacation may not be as bad as I thought!
Hopefully all of you liked my chapter! I love you all and please review :)
