AN: This chapter is finally out! I struggled with parts of this which delayed the update so hopefully, you'll accept the longer than usual chapter. Appreciate y'all that have stuck with me so far.
One month later
Five hours until the wedding
Percy's eyes fluttered open as the sunlight poked through his curtains, hitting him in the face as he craned his neck up to see Thalia's arm wrapped around him with her head against his chest. He looked slightly behind him, feeling Artemis's hands wrapped around his waist as she pulled herself against his back.
A smile found its way onto his face as the day's events raced to the forefront of his mind.
"Never thought I would live to see this day after everything." Percy muttered out as he ran a hand through Thalia's hair. He changed his position to lie flat on his back, Artemis falling onto his front and mumbling something in her sleep.
He spent some time running his hands through Artemis and Thalia's hair, earning contented sighs from them in their sleep before he quietly slipped away from their hold, grabbing a shirt as he went down to the kitchen to prepare a small breakfast for himself before working on a larger breakfast for Artemis and Thalia before they woke up.
Hemera was adamant that he not see them before the wedding itself, but he fought against it so he fully expected Hemera to barge in and throw him to the guys very soon.
He was absentmindedly flipping pancakes when he felt a pair of arms snake around his waist and bury their head in his back.
"Morning, my love." he mumbled out as he turned the stove off, sliding the pancakes onto the plate with the others. He felt Artemis scrunch her nose while trying to conceal the grin on her face in his back.
Artemis eased up enough so Percy could turn around to face her before she buried her face in his chest, "That was corny." she said as he felt her grin go wider. Thalia was sitting on the bar-stool, pancake already on a fork and halfway to her mouth when she winked at him and had a twinkle in her eyes as she looked at him.
"I think I reserve the right to be corny today, especially when I'm getting married." he replied happily as he shuffled Artemis and him to the island where Thalia was.
Artemis kissed him on the cheek before she got to her seat, taking a portion of the french toast, her tongue sticking out as she poured an ungodly amount of syrup on it.
Thalia looked up from her massive pile of pancakes on her plate with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, "Oh? Who are you marrying today?" she asked as she slowly bit into a pancake.
Percy took a blueberry muffin and unwrapped it, looking Thalia in the eye as he did it, "You might know them. One's a really fiery moon goddess, good at hunting and the other one is raven-haired, piercing blue-eyes with a tendency to make my hair stand up on ends whenever she gets mad. Both of them are really good at kissing and really like cuddling." he replied as he ate his muffin, failing to hide his grin nor the love and adoration oozing out of his tone.
"Sounds like you really love them a lot." Artemis mumbled out, a bit red at Percy's mention of her cuddling habits even after the time that's passed.
"Oh trust me, I do. The only problem is that I can only hope I can show them how much I love them every day." he whispered out and scratched the back of his head. Thalia flashed right into his lap, hugging him for all he's worth as Artemis stood up from her seat, food forgotten as her arms were wrapped around Percy.
He felt the front of his shirt get soaked with tears as both Thalia and Artemis's frame shook with tears, his arms moving on instinct to comfort them as he rubbed their backs.
He let out a small chuckle, "Is it bad if the bride cries on the wedding day?"
"No, but if you want us to stop crying then you should stop saying sappy shit." he heard Thalia mumble through her tears and on his shirt, her reply making him laugh quietly.
"Alright, I'll stop saying sappy shit after we get married." he replied, burying his face in Thalia's hair as his other hand continued to rub Artemis's back.
"What if we want to keep hearing it after?" Artemis asked shyly, the tears still falling from her eyes.
He pulled his head up and gently lifted Artemis's head to meet his, "Then I'll keep saying it to you until the day I fade or until you get bored of me." kissing the tears away, prompting a small giggle to escape her lips. Doing the same to Thalia as he lifted her head, a small pout forming when she was removed from the comforts of his warmth.
He turned the stool he was sitting on into another loveseat, watching as Artemis pulled her plate over and curled up into his side. Thalia did the same on his lap and handed him her fork, "Feed me." she said childishly and opened her mouth, waiting for Percy, who rolled his eyes but complied.
Artemis and Thalia were cuddling with Percy on the couch and trading soft kisses with him when Hemera, Gaea, Calypso, Piper, Hazel, and the hunters poured into his loft. Reyna let out a low whistle as she entered, "Nice place."
"Alright, you need to leave. Go hang out with the guys or something." Hemera gestured to Percy just as he started kissing down Thalia's neck.
Percy poked his head up and mock-glared at his sister, "I was in the middle of something." rolling Thalia off of him as he stood up, leading to Hemera rolling her eyes.
"You will have plenty of time to continue that after the wedding and who knows how long you'll be gone at your new villa. Now go. We need time to prepare." Hemera argued, shooing him out.
Percy threw his hands up, "Fine, I know when I'm not wanted." looking at Artemis and Thalia as they shrugged helplessly with a sympathetic smile.
"I'll see you two in a few hours." he said as he leaned over the couch to kiss them once more.
Thalia pulled back with a smirk, "You think you can hold off not seeing us for that long?" she asked cheekily. The couch bounced slightly as Thalia hopped onto her knees and leaned against the back of the couch.
"I hope so. If not, I'll just think of something to do that'll take my mind off you two." making his voice heard as Hemera started dragging him to the balcony so he could leave.
"As if you can stop thinking about us even if you tried." Artemis quipped, making those in the room let out a laugh at the truth behind it.
Percy flashed them a smile, "For good reason. Love you!" he yelled out as he vaulted over the balcony railing and disappeared.
"Did he just-" Hazel tried to ask if Percy really jumped off the balcony, despite his powers and all that, but it didn't reach Artemis or Thalia as they were too busy smiling like lovestruck fools.
Artemis shook her head, "Alright, let's get this over with." Thalia nodded along with her, conveying her agreement.
"Hmm? Oh, we don't have to get you ready yet. Not until a couple more hours at least. I just wanted him gone so I can eat his food." the others nodded as Hemera explained.
Thalia raised an eyebrow as Hemera got a waffle onto her plate, "So Percy didn't have to go at all?" starting to get a little frustrated at that point.
"Well, if Percy was here then you two would be too busy making out with him in front of us." Zoë explained as she bit into a chocolate croissant.
"That's not true-" Artemis defended, watching as everyone, including her soon-to-be-sister-wife, looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "-we would take it upstairs." reveling as the others started to cough and choke on their food, their eyes bulging out of their sockets at what their friend said.
"Yeah, you have a point." Thalia conceded before stuffing her mouth with a cookie.
"So are you guys ready to be married to him?" Piper asked, clearing her throat and recovering from her coughing fit as she cut a part of her french toast off.
Thalia nudged Artemis on the shoulder, eliciting a smile from her, "Totally ready."
Artemis and Thalia watched as their friends ate, looks of curiosity adorning their faces as Piper's head rose, her eyes wide. "Ah crap, I forgot to tell Percy that the guys are all still hungover after helping him finish the new place." Piper blurted out.
"I think he knows that. I mean, Leo almost barfed on him twice during the party, Frank would've for sure if Percy didn't dump him into a hole in the ground at the right time and Will was sad dancing. Jason and Nico challenged him to a bare fist-fight while they were seeing double of everything." Hazel reminded.
In hindsight, that didn't sound like the worst idea if you were to ask Piper, Thalia, and Artemis to an extent, but the ogling eyes from the random females in the club had them shooting down that idea as quickly as possible.
"At least it happened after the hunt we went on. Don't think I would have enjoyed seeing Nico or Frank emptying their stomach contents." Reyna said with a look of mild disgust.
Hemera had a suspicious grin developing on her face as she turned to Artemis and Thalia, "Soooo have you ladies decided on who's being Percy's first?" Hemera asked in intrigue, the others stopping their conversations to listen in with conspiratorial smirks.
Thalia and Artemis spluttered as they looked at each other multiple times, scrambling for an answer and blushing madly at the question.
Percy appeared at Jason's villa and knocked, the symbol of Jupiter and Aphrodite letting people know who lived here. He knocked on the door as he waited for Jason to open the door, his expectations low as he expected most of them to be hungover after last night's events.
The slow shuffling on the inside gave him some idea as to what he should be expecting. Jason opened the door a few minutes later, making Percy let out a chuckle at his friend's appearance, "You look like absolute shit, dude." he said at Jason's frazzled hair, the drowsiness of his movements.
"Yeah yeah, you can't get drunk so you shouldn't be saying anything." Jason commented, rubbing the side of his head with his palms as Percy held his hands up in surrender.
Jason led Percy to his living room, Percy letting out a full-blown laugh as he spotted Frank sleeping sideways on the couch, Nico bent over the cushions with Will laying on top of him, their shirts askew with both of them completely out. Leo was sleeping on the table, his head just barely touching the ground. Aether flashed in right next to them, his hair a complete mess as his shirt was inside out.
Percy looked him over, "Still hungover?" he asked in a normal tone.
Aether put a hand to cover Percy's mouth and held a finger to his own lips, "Shhhh, not too loud. Hemera gave me a migraine from her yelling this morning." he whispered feebly, making his brother roll his eyes as he stomped his foot onto the ground, making the room rumble slightly as everyone tumbled off of their positions.
"Oh, you're all up." Percy stated in a tone of mock surprise.
Nico glared at him from his spot on the ground, "Seriously, fuck you for doing that." he groaned out as the light hit him in the face, hissing loudly which made Percy roll his eyes as he snapped his fingers, instantly erasing any traces of alcohol in their systems.
Frank jolted up from the carpet, stumbling as he gained his senses back, "Woah, it feels like someone power-washed my insides with a mop." clutching his stomach.
Percy had a look of slight confusion on his face, "Weird comparison but alright." before looking around Jason's house. "So how's being an instructor?" turning to ask Jason as his face lit up.
"Oh, it's great! I've been hitting it off with the recruits, same with Piper." Jason replied.
"Then you'll be happy to know that you've both been receiving nothing but stunning reviews and compliments from them." Percy told him before he chuckled to himself, "I have a few of them wondering if you'll make the switch to squad leader once they're done with boot."
"How's camp?" he asked, looking at Frank and Nico.
Frank snorted, "Hectic as always. The Mercu-Hermes cabin, I mean, decided to throw toilet paper all over camp last week. We're giving them the Roman punishment after the senators insisted."
"The poor bastards." Nico shook his head while leaning on Will.
Aether tapped Percy on the shoulder, "Gramps wants us to greet the gods and demigods that were invited." using the last word very loosely as Percy snorted.
"Right, well I'm assigning a few guards to shadow them once we get there." Percy said as he tapped his earpiece and moved to a corner to send out the orders to his troops.
Erebus flashed in, raising an eyebrow at everyone's clean appearance despite the aftermath of the party last night. "I see that my son managed to cure you of your alcohol-induced craziness." looking over everyone.
"Hey Dad, are you sure we can't skip out on greeting the gods?" Aether asked hopefully with a pleading expression, making the primordial of darkness shake his head.
"If I have to deal with them then so do you. Your mother is already waiting at the platform. What's your brother doing?" Erebus argued and gestured towards his other son.
"Just being him." Aether answered him as if that explained everything.
"Always a fun sight to see whenever he freaks out." Erebus said and a small grin appeared as most of them nodded their heads.
Percy was mumbling something to himself as he rejoined the group, blinking twice as he looked at his father, "Oh, hey dad."
"Excited for your big day?" his father asked, returning a grin as a smile overtook Percy's face and nodded.
"Of course, but I believe we have some…'guests' to worry about first." Percy remembered, a grimace appearing on his brother and father's face as well.
Percy commanded the shadows to wrap around everyone else as Erebus and Aether flashed out to meet them there.
They reappeared on an exterior platform next to the castle, Nyx already there and tapping her foot as she waited for their arrival. Chronos, Ananke, Ouranos, Pontus, and Thalassa were there as well, but Percy was surprised when he spotted Hydros. The primordial didn't make an appearance at the final battle, leading to Percy think that he tucked tail and made a run for it after the invasion at camp. Pontus and Thalassa mentioned that he disappeared from the beach that night but they couldn't afford to look for him at the time.
Hydros felt himself get knocked to his knees and a blade held to his throat, looking up to see Percy's glowing eyes. "Where'd you find him?" Percy asked the others.
"Tartarus pulled me out from the battle at the camp when it was clear that we would lose. He wasn't the happiest with my performance either way. He made his displeasure quite clear down there." Hydros explained, making Percy scoff.
"I can imagine. You got your ass handed to you by Pontus and Thalassa." Percy retorted.
Pontus laid his hand on Percy's shoulder, "We found him barely alive at the Delta of Despair nursing his wounds. We've kept him hidden in the oceans here until he was back to normal."
"Percy, I would appreciate it if you didn't kill him after we just got him back to full health. You have our word that he is no longer entertaining any ideas of overthrowing any deities anymore." Thalassa said as she glared at Hydros, who nodded at her look. "So please, put the blade away."
Percy eased off of him, flicking his hidden blade back into his gauntlet, "Fine, but only because I know that neither of them would appreciate me getting in a fight without them on today of all days." taking a step back as Pontus hoisted Hydros back up to his feet, keeping a firm hand clasped on his shoulder.
A few minutes later, Chaos appeared on the platform with the Olympians, Greek, and Roman minor gods and goddesses, Annabeth, and the veteran campers from the three wars. Percy deadpan stare at everyone, "Rightttt… A small group he says." he mumbled underneath his breath, only audible by those close to him and leading to those individuals to snicker before a small smile appeared on his face as Hestia and Hades moved to the front of the group, clearly an effort from the other Olympians to prevent an attack of sorts.
"Aunt Hestia, It's good to see you today and I'm glad that you can make it today." he said sincerely, the two of them returning his smile as they bowed their heads.
"The same to you, Percy. It is a wonderful day today and thank you for the invite." Hestia said as she looked around the area they were in.
"Lady Persephone, Uncle Hades." he nodded his head towards the rulers of the Underworld.
"Nephew, my wife and I thank you for inviting us to your union. I do not doubt that this will be a memorable one." Hades said as he clapped Percy on the shoulder, Persephone nodded her head in agreement.
"I agree with my husband. It does seem like this will be more lively from what I can see so far." she said.
Percy nodded his head in thanks before he turned to the others, he looked at Chaos briefly and nodded back to him, snapping his fingers as everyone but Hades, Persephone, Demeter, Dionysus, and Hestia glowed slightly.
"What just happened?" Hermes asked as he blinked repeatedly.
"You won't have your powers while you're here, so you won't be able to curse or ruin anyone while you're here. You'll get them back once you leave but I'm not running the risk of twelve Olympians running rampant." Percy explained.
"How come the minor gods have their powers!?" Heracles pointed out in offense.
Percy looked unfazed by his outburst, "Because I trust that they can restrain themselves while they're here and be respectful. You on the other hand? That's another problem."
The minor gods and goddesses gave him thankful nods at that.
"And those five?" Aphrodite asked.
Percy shrugged, not feeling the need to explain himself on that.
"Right, well, I'm going to give you the rundown of this whole thing. Campers, you're going to be asked to sort into your cabin groups to keep an easier track of each of you. You'll be free to explore for the next three hours." looking at his watch as he said that. "As for the immortals, explore or whatever. Don't threaten anyone with your godliness, don't harass anyone, and don't get into fights or my guys have my express permission to knock you on your ass and send you back home." looking at Ares and Heracles as he said that last part.
"Are the guards necessary? You already said that we don't have our powers while we are here for the wedding." Hera asked, looking wary of the troops around them.
"Absolutely because I don't trust any of you to not make a ruckus while you're here. Now if you're done, go tour around. I still have a cake to finish making." Percy told everyone
Thalassa tapped him on the shoulder, "You still haven't finished?" making Percy shake his head.
"Still have a few more layers and icing work to finish." he noted.
Jason snorted, "Still don't know why you're doing everything by hand." causing Percy to raise an eyebrow at him.
"Tell you what? When Piper and you get married eventually, you'll get the joys of figuring that out all by yourself while I sit back and watch." Percy offered teasingly.
"Would you need my help, Percy? It is not any trouble if you do." Aunt Hestia offered.
"That would be appreciated, Aunt Hestia." Percy nodded gratefully to Hestia.
Persephone grabbed Hades by his elbow and started dragging him away, "Come on, I want to see the gardens here." ignoring Hades's groaning which only increased when Demeter joined them.
"I do want to check out the harvesting regions here, so I will join you." Demeter said, fully ignoring her brother's cries of despair.
Gaea flashed in, bringing Calypso with her, and pointed at Aphrodite, "You're forbidden from helping Artemis and Thalia get ready." ignoring Aphrodite's whine and complaints.
"Aren't you supposed to be helping them?" Ouranos asked.
"Not much of assistance when they're arguing over what's actually necessary. I think the two of them went off somewhere." Gaea mentioned in passing.
"WHAT!" Percy yelled out, immediately thinking of the worst scenario possible.
Gaea waved off his concerns, "Oh relax, you should know that Hemera drove them almost mad with her rambling, Percy." she told him, chuckling a tiny bit as Percy went pale as her answer did nothing to reassure him.
Hestia wrapped her arm around Percy's shoulder and patted him on the back in comfort, "Come on, Percy, let's take your mind off of it for now." taking them both to the kitchens as Percy tried to recover from his erratic breathing.
"Must you traumatize my son in that way, sister?" Nyx asked exasperatedly.
Gaea looked offended that someone would even suggest that, "I am merely telling the truth. It's also quite enjoyable to get the three of them riled up." she defended.
Calypso motioned Annabeth forward, "Come on, I'll show you around." quickly dashing to Leo to plant a kiss on his cheek before grabbing Annabeth by the arm to show her around.
Erebus walked up to Zeus with his arms crossed, "I don't think I need to remind you of what will happen should you interfere with the union?"
"N-no, Lord Erebus. I have been reminded of my mistakes more than once." Zeus stammered, bowing his head.
"Good. Do enjoy your time here then." before flashing away with Nyx, the other primordials followed soon after.
The overwhelming aura of the Protgenois was lifted off of their shoulders, allowing the Olympians to let out a large breath as their nerves receded.
"I need a drink...and a change of pants."
The primordials and Chaos all appeared under the large-domed pavilion where the wedding would take place. Chaos waved his hands around, causing the few clouds that appeared to disappear, leaving the sky clear.
Gaea tapped her foot lightly, the ground smoothing out around them.
Chaos held his hand out, stopping Nyx from speaking, "The hall has already been reconfigured for the reception, daughter. You don't need to remind me." telling her with a smile.
Nyx rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "Apologies, father."
"Should I feel offended that mother is paying more attention to Percy's wedding than she did to mine?" Aether asked lightheartedly.
"Yours wasn't much of a wedding, more so you just walked in one day and said Hemera and you were married." Ouranos pointed out.
"And it was very beautiful." Aether said as he wiped a fake tear away.
Any upcoming conversation was stopped when a flash of light pink appeared next to them, Erebus stiffening and frowning immensely when someone that wasn't Nyx hugged him. He faintly registered his wife's attempts to stifle her laughter, his brothers and sisters reacting similarly.
"Eros." Erebus grit out, "let go of me before I rip your arms off and strangle you with them."
The now-identified primordial relented and unwrapped his arms, barely ducking under the tendril that almost struck him in the head. "Honestly, you're still no fun after all these years. I already apologized for walking in on-"
"Where were you exactly? You were supposed to be here yesterday." Gaea interrupted with a questioning look.
"I got caught up in Prague with these nice mortals that invited me for a-"
Nyx made a gesture and Eros felt himself get picked up by the foot and dangled upside down, "That's enough from you, Eros, or I'll toss you to my son."
"Well, I mean, Aether-"
"I was referring to Percy."
"Ok, I think I'll just shut up now."
"Using your son as a means to get Eros to shut it? An excellent idea." Ananke complimented with a serious expression, her eyes lighting up in amusement as she and the others watched Eros whip his head back and forth, looking around him as if he was expecting Percy to pop out of the bushes, whack him over the head, and drag him off to beat him senseless.
"Are you still scared of Percy? I'm pretty sure he's not that mad at you anymore." Aether commented.
Eros rolled his eyes before his head snapped to where a bush rustled, "That's easy for you to say when you weren't the one to flirt with his very soon-to-be-wives and you weren't the one that got chased by the three of them."
"We did tell you to keep your hands to yourself and not to get handsy. Not our fault you didn't listen." Chronos told him with a roll of his eyes.
"Now that I think about it, Percy was toying with you. He could have easily hunted you down." Aether mentioned in passing.
"YOU'RE NOT HELPING!"
Half an hour later
Kitchens
"Thanks for helping me again, Aunt Hestia." Percy said as he snapped his fingers, cleaning the both of them up from raw flour and bits of icing from their bodies, the smell of raw eggs still lingering in the air.
"I should be thanking you, Percy. It's been a while since I've made treats without powers." Hestia replied with a smile as she sent the cake to chill. "Certainly refreshing."
"Are you prepared?" Hestia asked as they left the kitchen and stood in the hallway outside, turning to look at Percy.
"Yeah, I think so." he replied as he fidgeted nervously. "I mean the worst thing that could happen is that they don't show up. If that happens, then I'm probably going to roll up into a ball and die very slowly." Percy nervously said, starting to ramble.
Hestia laid a hand on his arm, sending a pulse of calming energy, "Relax, Percy. I am certain that Thalia and Artemis are as nervous as you for today but are also excited."
Percy nodded his head repeatedly, "Right right yeah. I mean, I'm excited for today. Uncle knows how long I've been waiting but I'm also nervous."
Hestia smiled warmly at him, "I'm going to see them soon. Do you have a message you would like me to pass on to them? I am sure that they too would like some reassurance." she asked him.
"Tell them that I can't wait to spend the rest of eternity with them and that I'll be waiting." he said confidently with a smile on his face.
Hestia smiled at him and gave him a hug, one that he happily returned before she disappeared in a column of fire, leaving Percy alone in that hallway.
Percy let out a deep breath as he shook the nerves off of him and shadow-traveled away to where his parents were.
Two hours until the wedding
Hestia finally flashed to where most of the ladies were after Hades convinced her to help ease the everlasting tension between Hades and Demeter and so Hades could have someone to talk to while Persephone and Demeter talked.
"Hello, Lady Hestia." Zoë greeted from her spot on the couch, a pair of silver-heeled sandals dangling from her hand, she spotted similar footwear in everyone else's hands.
"Hello, Zoë. What are you all doing?" Hestia inquired as she moved closer to the group, noticing that Artemis and Thalia were nowhere to be seen.
"We're all waiting on Piper to finish helping Artemis and Thalia with their get-up." Reyna piped up from her spot on the floor, leaning against the bottom of the couch. "There was some arguing in there a few minutes before you arrived." pointing at Percy's closed office door.
The door opened revealing Piper and Hemera with a mildly frustrated but satisfied expression as they stepped to the side, revealing Artemis and Thalia, both in a robe that went below their knees, silver and blue respectively. Artemis had her hair pulled into a loose ponytail with a few strands framing a side of her face, while Thalia had her hair combed over and draped over her shoulders in waves. Both only wore light makeup, highlighting their natural features with the only exception being Artemis's lips painted crimson.
Hemera waved her arms towards them, "Ta-da! " making Thalia and Artemis roll their eyes at the primordial. Neither of them had much opposition to it since it was their wedding and indulged in their femininity.
"Damn." Reyna let out a low whistle.
"Percy's not going to know what hit him." Zoë complimented, throwing a thumbs-up at Piper who beamed.
"He damn better. These two kept fidgeting during the entire thing, making the whole thing longer than necessary." Piper said as she remembered how much of a struggle it was to get them to sit still.
Hestia chuckled lightly, "Well, you can't blame their nerves, can you? I imagine that you would behave similarly on your wedding day." making Piper go red. "You two look stunning."
"Thank you, Aunt Hestia." Artemis replied gratefully as she wrung her hands and smoothed out her robe.
"I would've come to see you both sooner, but Hades needed me. The good news is that I brought a message from Percy." Hestia told the two of them happily.
Their nerves were leveling out as soon as they heard that.
"Percy told me to tell you two that he can't wait to spend eternity with you and that he'll be waiting for you." Hestia told the pair.
Thalia elbowed Artemis in the side slightly, a nervous chuckle escaping, "At least we know he doesn't have plans to do a runner."
"20 drachmae on him thinking the same for Lady Artemis and Thalia." Naomi said confidently, making those relaxing on the couch snort.
"No thanks because I already know that he's probably panicking in front of the guys." Hemera replied while she buffed a nail. "He's my brother so I know him well and because he did exactly that when he first planned to propose to Artemis and Thalia." she added.
"You two have nothing to worry about. He might have his dumb moments but most of his moments seem to be pretty smart when it comes to you two." Hemera reassured.
Artemis and Thalia both nodded as they calmed down, knowing that their marriage to Percy got closer and rubbed their engagement rings with a fond smile.
Half an hour until the wedding
Percy buttoned his vest before throwing on his jacket and straightened his tie as he pulled the curtain back, ignoring the glances shot his way.
"Damn." Nico whispered, the other guys shamelessly nodding along with him.
"I don't get why I can't see them." Percy complained, throwing his arms in the air.
"Because it's a mortal tradition and we must follow it for fear of your mother because she's frightening. She'll be here soon." Aether replied, rolling his eyes before he snapped straight and looked at Percy nervously. "I-I-I m-mean-"
"My mom's here?!" Percy blurted out.
Chaos flashed in a moment later, looking at Aether in disbelief before he snapped his fingers. Sally Jackson appeared in a white flash, facing the wall before she spun around to face the others, a wide smile on her face as she caught sight of Percy. "Percy!" rushing to grab her son in a hug, one Percy eagerly returned.
"So much for keeping it a surprise." Chaos drawled out and slapped Aether on the back of his head.
"Ok, I will take full responsibility for this." Aether offered.
Chaos face-palmed and stared at Aether, "You better or I'll drop you into the middle of a mortal city naked without your powers."
Aether weighed his options, making Chaos think that he actually wanted that to happen.
Chaos's train of thought was broken when he felt himself get pulled into a hug from Percy.
"Thanks, uncle." Percy gratefully said, making a small smile appear on Chaos's face.
"No problem, Percy, but don't forget to thank Hades." he reminded.
"I'll do it when I see him." Percy promised.
"Nico!" Sally exclaimed, grabbing the son of Hades into a hug. Nico seemed shocked momentarily before he recovered and returned the hug.
"Hi, Mrs. Blofis." Nico replied, waving his hand with a smile.
Sally looked at Jason critically.
"You're Jason, right?" Sally asked.
"Yes, ma'am. That would be correct. You know who I am?" Jason nervously asked.
"Of course. My son's mentioned you a few times. Says that you're like a brother to him." Sally told him. A grin found its way to Jason's face as he heard it.
"Aww, you do care." Jason said to Percy, his grin going as wide as it can.
Percy snorted, "Only when you're not annoying me."
"Boys, behave." Sally reprimanded lightheartedly.
"Yes, mom."
"Of course, ma'am"
"I'm Frank Zhang." Frank said as he stuck his hand out.
Sally shook his hand, "You're the one that's apparently Percy's great great great nephew? A thousand times over?" she asked, confused.
Frank rubbed the back of his head nervously, "Uhh...yes?" before his eyes almost bulged out of his sockets at the force behind Sally's sudden hug.
"That doesn't matter. That means that you're also a part of my family." Sally confidently said. "No matter how messed up the family trees are." she added with a laugh.
"And you're the one that lights himself on fire? Leo, right?" Sally asked as she went to Leo.
Leo had a shit-eating grin as she said that, "Yep! That's me."
After a few minutes of Sally conversing with his friends, she turned to Percy and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
"Come with me for a few minutes. There's someone that wants to meet you." she told him as Chaos gave them a nod and flashed them away with a snap.
Artemis and Thalia were a nervous wreck as the wedding loomed closer and all attempts to calm them down were thrown down a hole by them.
"It took far longer than expected. Wouldn't you say?" Phoebe asked Zoë, the hunters were all dressed and helping their sisters smoothing out their silver dresses.
"Indeed." Zoë replied, a grin on her face as she watched everything transpire.
A knock on their door brought everything to a stop. Hazel moved to open the door and let out a scream as she jumped back, her reaction brought several heads rounding the door, their eyes going wide as they looked at Sally Jackson, all smiles and waving at them.
"Uhhhhhh." Thalia dumbly let out as she spotted Percy's mother waving.
"Can I come in?" she asked, receiving multiple frantic nods from everyone.
"You two look stunning." she complimented as she looked at Thalia and Artemis. The two of them smiled nervously as it felt like they were being observed by the elder Jackson.
"Thank you, Mrs. Jackson." Artemis replied meekly.
"Call me, Sally. You're marrying my son after all." she smiled comfortingly as she felt their nerves practically rolling off of them. "Nervous?" she asked, watching them nod.
"Would you mind if I had a few minutes with them?" Sally asked the others, receiving nods from them.
"Phoebe and I will be outside the door." Zoë told the three of them and ushered the others out.
"So tell me what's bothering you?" Sally asked them once they were alone, pulling a chair to sit. The calming smile remained on her face.
"N-nothing!" Thalia blurted, going a bit red in the face as Sally looked amused. "I-I guess it's just finally sinking in. Us getting married to Percy."
Sally nodded her head in understanding, "Don't worry. It's perfectly normal to feel like that. I know I felt like that when I married Paul but granted, your's is obviously different with the two of you marrying my son." ending it with a chuckle, easing their mood.
"Percy loves the both of you so much." she pointed out.
"We know. He shows and tells us every day." Artemis told her, a small smile appearing on her face. "You raised him well. I never got to thank you for raising him to be a respectable male."
Sally turned serious for a moment, catching them off by surprise, "Do you love my son?"
"With everything I have."
"Haven't been more sure."
Sally smiled once more as she heard them answer without hesitation. A knock on the door brought their attention to the outside but Sally looked unconcerned about it.
"You can let him in!" she yelled out.
The door opened and Percy shuffled his way in, a blindfold on his head to cover his eyes. Artemis could hear Zoë and Phoebe's muffled laughter after the door closed.
"You know the blindfold doesn't really do much, right?" Percy clarified.
"I know. It's only a formality but the tradition must be kept alive somehow." Sally told him as she rolled her eyes.
"Now, I know I can't technically 'see' you right now, but I'm pretty sure you both look gorgeous." he confidently said, a smirk on his face.
"Speak for yourself." Thalia mumbled out as her eyes roamed over his body.
"Five minutes, Percy. I'll be outside." Sally reminded him with a grin as she left the room.
Percy kneeled in front of them, letting them take hold of his hands. "Nervous?"
"Sort of." Artemis confessed.
Percy nodded his head, "Me too. Not thinking of running, are you?" he asked nervously.
"Only if you aren't." Thalia replied.
Percy shook his head rapidly.
"You know I love you, right?" he whispered as he felt Artemis and Thalia lean into him.
"I love you." Artemis replied.
"Love you." Thalia's muffled voice rang out.
They relished in the warmth of each other before their peace was broken.
Sally opened the door and poked her head out minutes later, " Alright, time's up."
"I'll be waiting for you." he told them, letting his mother drag him out of the room but not before he laid a kiss on Artemis and Thalia.
He waved to Zoë and Phoebe as he passed them out the door, yanking the blindfold off of him and tossing it away.
"You better not have made them cry, Percy!" Piper's voice called out to him.
Percy turned around, "No promises!" snapping off a quick salute before he shadow-traveled away.
Everyone was gathered outside and under the pavilion as there were only a few minutes left before the wedding. Percy ran a hand through his hair to calm himself down, ignoring Aether's snickering from his side. Aether was his best man and Jason, Frank, Nico, and Leo were his groomsmen. He watched as Jason and Apollo both went to walk their sisters down the aisle and Estelle waved madly at him from her spot next to her parents, Paul laughing next to her as he shot him a quick wave and his mom giving him a thumbs-up.
Percy looked at Chaos, the creator smiling back at him as he stood as the officiator. His primordial family gave him encouraging smiles. The campers behaved themselves as Chiron watched over all of them. Some of the Olympians like Zeus, Hera, Ares, and Heracles were a bit subdued, including Aphrodite, who was still pouting at the fact that she couldn't play a part in planning the wedding, while those that supported him like Hestia, Hades, Persephone, Demeter, Dionysus were letting their smiles show on their faces and those that eventually became neutral to Percy like Hermes had foam fingers on his hands to display his joy. Thousands of Chaos soldiers surrounded the place, all wearing ceremonial uniforms.
The pavilion went quiet as the music started to softly play, flowers fell from the ceiling and onto the aisle perfectly.
The tent flaps of the pavilion were moved out of the way and Percy felt the air in his body flushed out of him, his jaw dropped to the point where Aether had to quickly nudge him back to reality.
Words couldn't describe how Percy felt when he laid eyes on Artemis and Thalia at that very moment. Nothing mattered at that moment except for them.
Artemis and Thalia were both pure-white visions in their gowns, intricate lacework on both of their torsos. Thalia had hers strapless and open in the back, her shoulders bare with flowing sleeves running to her elbows while Artemis had thin studded straps at the top.
Jason handed Thalia to him first, clapping him on the back before taking his place as Percy took hold of Thalia's hand in his left. Apollo gave him Artemis's hand soon after in his right, giving him a nod before he took his seat.
The two brides had unshed tears of happiness in their eyes accompanied with a smile as Percy gave his own watery grin.
"I stand corrected. You both look breathtaking." Percy said in adoration, making them blush.
Chaos cleared his throat to begin the ceremony.
"Troopers. Spirits. Demigods. Gods and goddesses. Today, we are all gathered here to witness the bonding between Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, and Phoebe Artemis. I for one, am incredibly happy for you three and I know I'm not the only one. The bond you three have created with each other is remarkable. Now, I know for a fact that you three wrote your vows, so I'll let you go through with that. Thalia, perhaps you would like to go first?" looking at Thalia as he said that.
Thalia nodded as she felt her hand get squeezed lightly by Percy, taking a deep breath as Percy shot her a comforting smile. "The first time that I probably started to feel something for you was when I was first released from the tree, I tried to convince myself that it was just a crush since I didn't exactly have the best track record when it came to anything but I was happy that we got to be friends at the very least. Kicking your ass during our spars was a defining moment if you ask me." she said smugly, watching Percy make a face.
"I was probably a terrible huntress considering I still had some feelings lingering but of course, we had a war going on at the time so that wasn't exactly something I wanted to focus on. When you went missing during the second, I wanted to find you just so I could slap you for scaring me like that." looking at Percy as he let out a small chuckle.
"When it happened, I thought I lost you forever, but you came back, granted you took your sweet time, but I couldn't have been happier. Being with you has given me some of the best moments of my life and I can't wait to be your wife. I love you, Percy." Thalia told him, letting herself be emotional as the tears started to slowly fall.
Chaos looked to Artemis and nodded at her, "You know that I'm not the best when it comes to interacting with males. Our first interaction at Westover should be a testimony to it. I won't lie when I say that I still had some reservations about you even after all you've done before that point, but you proved me wrong at Othrys. Taking the sky from me when you realized that Atlas had the upper hand over you was probably when I had some hope that you weren't like the others. It was probably why you were able to befriend one of my huntresses so easily back then."
Right behind her, the corners of Zoë's mouth turned upwards slightly in a smirk as she heard that.
"We've had our ups and downs throughout our relationship, it not being the most normal of arrangements but you've made it work for us. You've never let your achievements change you in any way. It's one of the reasons why I fell for you and another being that despite us being free of our oaths, not once have you pressured us into doing anything we didn't want. You are different and I would not have it any other way. I am honored that I will get to call you my husband after this, Percy."
There wasn't a dry eye in most of the audience as their vows were said. Aphrodite and Eros were both silently bawling and overwhelmed at the waves of love rolling off of the three.
Chaos looked at Percy with an amused look, one that Percy didn't return as he searched for the words to describe what he felt for Artemis and Thalia.
"Both of those are going to be hard to beat." Percy commented, drawing laughs from Artemis and Thalia.
"I tried to write what I wanted to say but that ended up being seventy pages long and that didn't even scratch the surface of what I feel for you. So I'm just going to improvise since I'm better at that." hearing Artemis and Thalia let out a small laugh calmed him before he took a deep breath.
"I remember asking my mom why I was named after a Greek hero when I was old enough. Being told that he was probably the only one that got a happy ending and that she wished that I would get my own one day made me hopeful. Of course, that whole plan was thrown out the window when I found out that I was a demigod and that we don't typically live very long. There were some solid moments where I thought I would've flat-out died." leading to some snorts and more than a few laughs from both sides. "I thought that I lost everything when it happened, but I was lucky that that wasn't the case." feeling his hands being squeezed reassuringly.
"Before I was reunited with the two of you, I thought that nothing could surprise me anymore. Years of going through the motions, ignoring everything bad that's happened to me came easily but you two managed to undo all that and make me feel something that I thought was pretty much lost. I thought that the very last memory I would have of you two would have been the moment right before my fall. I'm not going to lie when I say it hurt knowing that it caused you that much pain, but I am glad that I eventually fixed my mistake. Knowing that you chose me for eternity has pushed me to be a better version of the man you fell in love with every day. One of the happiest days of my life was when you agreed to marry me but I know that eventually, it'll get to the point where I can barely choose between any of them and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm happy when I'm with you and I can only hope that I'll be able to do the same for you, preferably enough where you won't get bored of me." watching as Artemis and Thalia shook their heads with a smile on their faces.
"I know that you'll probably hit me afterward for being sappy as I say this but I think that I probably have my namesake beat on the happy ending. My happy ending is with the two of you, it always has been and it always will be. I love you, Artemis. I love you, Thalia." he finished as his throat started to close up.
Chaos smiled as he prepared the last bit, "Beautiful. Now, there's only one thing left." he said with a grin.
"By the power vested in me by myself, I now pronounce you, husband, wife, and wife. You may kis-and he's already doing it." Chaos said completely straight-faced as Percy didn't even let him finish before he captured Artemis's lips with his own, the wave of cheers getting louder as Percy kissed Thalia as fiercely as he did Artemis. He wrapped his arms tighter around their waists as Percy leaned his head against Artemis and Thalia, a grin on each of their faces.
Everyone was whisked away to the hall for the reception, Percy, Thalia, and Artemis appearing at the head table. Both Artemis and Thalia's skirts no longer dragged along the floor as it shortened to their ankles or just barely skimmed the ground. Artemis plopped herself on Percy's lap, grinning as Thalia's pouted.
"That's my spot." she whined, grabbing Percy's hand.
"Oh, hush. You're getting the first dance anyway." Artemis replied with a grin.
"When was this decided?" Percy asked as he looked at both of them.
"A few hours ago. We decided with Rock, Paper, Scissors." Thalia informed him.
Percy kissed Artemis on the cheek, "You'll get the second dance right after. I promise."
"I damn well better." Artemis whispered to him with a smirk.
The dinner arrived not long after, sounds of giggling could be heard throughout the hall as the brides were being fed by the groom. Artemis and Thalia rewarded him with a kiss each time.
"You know, I don't think I've ever seen Perce smile for this long." Jason mentioned.
"You think his face is stuck?" Leo asked, barely ducking under Calypso's slap.
Calypso huffed, "Honestly, you and your superstitions." barely being able to hide her blush at Leo's wink.
"He's happy. Can't blame him." Piper defended her friend halfheartedly.
Behind them at the camper table, Annabeth flinched inwardly as she heard them speak. Her mind could only wonder what would've happened if she didn't turn on Percy. Would Percy be as happy as her as he currently was with Artemis and Thalia? Her mind ran through the multiple 'what-ifs' and could only smile a bittersweet smile as she looked on.
Aether straightened his suit as he stood up, preparing for the speech as dinner was slowly winding down. "If I could have your attention towards my stunning image." he asked, getting all the eyes on him.
"Let me start this incredibly short speech by congratulating my little bro on his marriage to two incredible ladies. I have had the pleasure of getting the crap kicked out of me by them and am now extremely frightened of them so I assure you that my words will be tasteful." the aforementioned people rolled their eyes in jest. "At the beginning of your relationship with my brother, I don't think I've ever seen Percy that happy. His mood pretty much changes whenever he's doing stuff with you. I have seen this man at his low points and it took us a long time to snap him out of his funk but give the two of you a few minutes and it's instant." snapping his fingers to emphasize the point. "I've also been told by the hunters to tell you to treat both Artemis and Thalia well or they'll hunt you down." pausing to see Percy give the 'ok' sign and a quick salute to the hunters. "Now, this was a really short speech, so I'll say this: Thank you, Artemis and Thalia, for being there for my brother during the worst and best times and for doing what we couldn't. Congratulations, you three." raising his glass, a motion that the others copied as they toasted the happy trio.
"It's time for the first dance of the night."
Percy looked at Artemis in slight concern but stopped when Artemis tried to hide her smirk, "Go. You already promised that I'll get the second dance so don't worry." watching in amusement as Percy relaxed as he heard that and let out a small laugh later as Thalia was promptly dragged to the dancefloor.
Thalia wrapped her arms tightly around Percy's neck with his arms automatically going around her waist as they started to slowly sway to the music, both of them smiling wide. "Happy, wife?" Percy asked as Thalia laid her head on his shoulder, he leaned down to kiss her gently on the top of her head.
She grinned on his chest, "Wouldn't think otherwise, husband." drawing that last part out, making him grin.
"You look gorgeous." he told her.
Thalia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stuck her tongue out at him, making him chuckle. Thalia closed her eyes as his chest comfortably rumbled.
"The heels aren't killing you?" Percy asked as he glanced down at her choice of footwear.
"They won't bother me that much for today." she assured him. "I love you, Percy." she looked up and kissed him softly.
"I love you too, Thalia." returning her kiss with vigor.
Percy's family watched the happy moment from their table. "You two did a wonderful job in helping my son." Sally told Nyx and Erebus.
"You did most of the work. We only filled the gaps." Nyx said.
"My son is only alive because of what you did. If you did not step in, then he would not be here for this moment. I am glad that he can call you his parents." Sally said, making Nyx and Erebus widen their eyes and smile uncomfortably as the other primordials laughed at their reactions.
Everyone else started to filter onto the floor after a while of the first husband and wife dance.
"Can't have you all to myself. We got a surprise for you tonight." Thalia told him before she kissed him again and lightly pushed him away with a laugh.
Artemis watched as Percy approached her after dancing with Thalia, neither of them barely able to contain their smiles as their dance with each other came closer.
Percy offered his hand with a smile, "Would my wife care to dance with me?" hearing Artemis stifle her laughter as she took his hand.
"Of course, my husband." Artemis happily replied.
Percy led Artemis back to the middle of the floor before he laid his arms around her waist, Artemis wrapping her own around his neck. "This is nice." she commented.
"I hope so. Have I told you how stunning you look?" he asked.
Artemis pecked him on the lips, "Multiple times. You said we looked breathtaking." reminding him of his earlier words.
"I'm having trouble deciding on a word that would best describe how amazing you and Thalia look." he admitted, kissing Artemis on the lips. The two swayed to the music, eyes closed as they pulled each other closer.
"You two look like you're having fun." Thalia's voice rang out from the side. Percy opened one eye, a smile forming as he wrapped an arm around Thalia's waist and pulled her closer to him as he kept his other arm around Artemis. Both brides started to blush uncontrollably at seemingly nothing, leaving Percy confused.
Thalia opened his jacket to distract herself and twirled his tie around her finger, pulling his head closer as Artemis had hers on his shoulder.
A bright flash took them out of their moment. "That's being framed when I get back." Sally mentioned with a smile as she held the camera up and looked at the photo. "Your Uncle Chaos gave me this and told me to capture whatever I felt like." she mentioned, pointing at the camera.
The three of them were more than happy to accept Sally's request for pictures since she would have to be returned to Elysium by the end of the night. Their friends eventually took part once Sally was satisfied with the pictures of the brides and groom.
One photo that stood out in their eyes was one with Thalia on Percy's back, her head laying on his shoulder while Percy wrapped an arm around Artemis's waist as she leaned back onto him, tucking her head under his chin.
"Awww. You three look so cute!" Piper squealed out as she peeked at the dozen or so photos that Sally took. Jason smirked and wrapped an arm around Piper's waist. Several of the hunters and their friends nodded their agreement as Sally handed the camera to them.
Eventually, the cake was brought out. The four-tier chocolate crȇpe cake was topped with strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and finished with swirls of icing had Thalia practically drooling. The edible spear, Aegis, bow, and moon were the final touch for Thalia before she pushed Percy onto a chair and kissed him for all he's worth. He barely got to recover before Artemis yanked him from the chair and did something similar.
An hour later
Artemis and Thalia both pounded on Percy's back as he carried them over his shoulders and into their home. The party was just starting to wind down, the brides and groom talking to all of their friends and well-wishers. A somewhat meaningful conversation taking place between Artemis, Thalia, and Zeus. One last congratulations were thrown by everyone before Percy quite literally swooped his wives off their feet and departed.
"Percy! Put me down!" Artemis yelled out, trying to keep the humor out of her tone.
"Percy, if you don't put me down, then you're not getting your surprise!" Thalia told him before both she and Artemis let out a squeal and yelp as they entered the moonlit bedroom and landed on the bed.
They watched as Percy shrugged his jacket off, tossing it onto a chair, and rolled his shoulders. "It's tradition." he said as Thalia huffed a stray strand of hair away from her eyes.
"So what's the surprise you keep talking about?" he asked cluelessly.
"Percy, what usually happens during the wedding night?" Artemis helpfully reminded him. His eyes widened in realization for a fraction before he fidgeted slightly.
"Tha-that might have slipped my mind." he told them. Now, if they heard that coming from any other male, then they wouldn't have believed him, but they could believe Percy since he never even brought up sex at any point in time and was vehemently against doing anything of the sort until they were both ready, nevermind him.
Already getting an idea of what the issue was, Thalia grabbed his hand in reassurance. "Percy, we've been ready for a while. You don't need to worry. Trust us as we trust you."
Percy took a deep breath, "You'll tell me to stop if it hurts you?"
They both nodded at him, "If it hurts, we'll tell you." Artemis promised. "But if you do it right, then we won't make you stop." she mumbled, her face going red as she realized that Percy and Thalia heard her.
Thalia had a wide grin, "So you did hear Hemera's little talk!" she exclaimed.
"There was nothing 'little' about her talk." Artemis retorted.
They both looked at Percy to find him contemplative and he looked back, "Are you sure? You know that I'll love you even if we didn't do it, right?" he told them.
Artemis smiled comfortingly, "Percy, we know that already and we love you for it."
"Just trust us on this." Thalia said.
Percy took a breath before he nodded with a small smile, "Alright."
Thalia had an even bigger grin on her face as she summoned a blindfold, "Put this on."
"Huh?" Percy looked dumbfounded.
"A girl's gotta have some surprises of her own." Thalia told him, offering him the blindfold which he took and put on after some relenting.
Percy could hear their dresses ruffle slightly as he stood there, a flash of silver and blue barely penetrated through the blindfold.
"Ok. You can take it off now." Artemis's voice was softer than normal as he slowly took off the fabric around his eyes.
His jaw dropped as his eyes went wide, taking in the sight before him. Artemis and Thalia were both dressed in short and sheer nightgowns that reached mid-thigh, their legs clad in stockings with the rest of their undergarments visible to Percy. Both ladies blushed lightly as they felt Percy's eyes roam over them before he gulped audibly.
Thalia moved to stand behind him as a mischievous grin found its way onto her face despite the blush while Artemis kneeled on the end of the bed and placed her hands on Percy's shoulders.
"Any words from our husband?" Thalia whispered seductively into his ear, her voice sending shivers down his spine.
"I-I think you both look as beautiful as ever." he groaned out as Thalia's hands roamed over his still-clothed body.
Artemis smiled enticingly at him, "Good answer." before she started kissing him passionately.
"You better be doing the work as well, Percy." Thalia reminded him as she started kissing the back of his neck.
"Did you two plan this?" Percy asked in-between kisses, his mind going into overdrive to comprehend what was happening. Artemis let out a short moan as Percy started kissing her neck.
Thalia gently grabbed his hand to start directing him over her body, "What do you think?" she gasped out, having to stifle a loud mewl in his back as his hands lightly squeezed her ass.
Artemis had a hard time focusing as Percy started kissing down her neck and to her collarbone, "I think he has too many clothes on." she moaned out as his other hand roamed underneath her nightgown.
The last thing that Percy could remember was Thalia's hands traveling down to his belt and Artemis's hands going to the buttons of his shirt after she made quick work of the tie and tossed it somewhere in their room.
It was well past midnight when Percy finally rolled off of Artemis, Thalia was panting heavily from her spot next to him. All three of their bodies were covered in a thin layer of sweat as a result of the love-making. Their clothes were strewn all over the floor and onto various pieces of furniture.
"So...was that up to your expectations?" Percy asked breathlessly, feeling Artemis and Thalia's naked forms press up to him.
"Oh gods, yes." Thalia moaned out.
"Definitely." Artemis whispered.
"I love you." Percy told them before he poked his head up to look at them, "-and I'm not saying that because we just had sex."
Thalia and Artemis looked up at him with a soft smile, "We know, Percy and we love you too." they said in slight unison.
"Percy?" Artemis said, making him look at her.
"Yeah?" an eyebrow raised at her expression.
Artemis shared a knowing look with Thalia before looking back up at him. "We're on our honeymoon for as long as we want. You're going to make sure we can't walk straight for that entirety." Thalia told him, making Percy's eyebrows shoot up as he whipped his head to look at Artemis.
"What she said, but this time-" rolling herself on top of him to straddle his chest, a smirk on her lips, "I'm on top first." looking at Thalia as she said it.
Percy faintly registered Thalia's giggle. "Deal." he heard her reply before she disappeared under the covers with a grin.
That was the start of another round of love-making between the three and Percy was more than happy to abide by his wives's requests.
AN: Hope this chapter lived up to all of your expectations. I really apologize for not updating for a month.
