"So are you going to leave again?" She asked him sadly. Percy understood her, he always wanted to have a sibling, and knew that she felt the shame.
Percy smiled and answered, "We have to go back home Stella, Piper's maternity leave is over, she would have to resume her job, and I would have to continue my job too. But we will visit frequently now, Valerie should get to know her aunt growing up."
Estelle smiled and started jumping up and down. She started rambling about future play dates, and Disney-world trips.
Percy looked at Piper; she was looking at him. 'I love you' she mouthed to him.
He mouthed back, 'I love you too.'
Both of them sighed, knowing that this was going to be one hell of a ride.
Third Person Pov (Two & half years later)
Piper smiled leaning against her bedroom door as she looked at the sight in front of her. She had just come home after a long and tedious day of guiding the kids. Yeah! She was a guidance counselor at a public high school. She was always good with emotions and loved to help others. So this was the perfect job for her.
Percy was the Latin coach at a local community college. Their neighbors always teased that both of them fell in love due to their similarities of working in similar fields. But they didn't know the dark past that led to this beautiful relationship. The wars, the sacrifices, and the best of them was the betrayal.
Piper sometimes would get upset that their relationship started due to a betrayal. Though she knew that it was a blessing disguised as a curse, she would go through the pain again if she had the chance, if the result was this. She thanked gods every day that Percy was in her life.
She felt her heart flutter looking at her family. Percy was sleeping on the couch and drooling. Their daughter Valerie was sleeping on her father's chest, completely comfortable. She was drooling all over Percy's chest, a trait she had inherited from her father. Though Percy didn't seem to mind it a bit, his arms were wrapped around his daughter, like he was keeping her safe from everything.
Piper took a picture on her phone. Hephaestus had made it so it wouldn't attract monsters, at the request of Aphrodite. She clicked a picture of her fiancé and daughter and sent it to her mother and Sally. Both of the women had ordered them to be updated regularly.
Piper went to them and removed her daughter from Percy's grasp. She didn't want her daughter to have a stiff neck when she woke up. She put her daughter to bed and went back to Percy. When she returned Percy was already awake, and stretching.
"How was work honey?" Percy yawned, Piper could feel herself getting wet at his hoarse voice. She couldn't help herself, even after so many years of being together, she couldn't resist him. She bit her lips in anticipation at what she wanted him to do to her. Her imagination ran wild thinking about what she wanted him to do.
She moaned a little, rubbing her thighs, "It was fine," she slowly said, looking at his 8 pack abs. He could seriously give the gods a run for their money regarding looks. A lot of women Piper works with always commented on how they would love to get their hands on him; some tried to flirt but Percy didn't even look at them. Piper was the only woman for him out there; no one could hold a candle compared to her.
Percy smirked when he saw her rubbing her thighs. He loved the effect he had on her. "Really? Are you sure that you aren't stressed? I might've been able to relive some of your tension." Percy said, licking his lips. He could feel his own arousal spike tremendously; he wanted to taste every lick of her body. To roam his hands all around her perfectly curved body. Her brown skin illuminated under the lights, giving Piper the attention she deserved.
Piper's eyes saw the hungry look in Percy's eyes; she understood damn well what he meant. And she was all for it, "Now that you mention it, I would really love your help." She removed her shirt and was left in her bra. Her hands shot down to her jeans and she fiddled with the button.
Percy stepped forward and kissed her neck. His lips moved all over her body like searching for his saving grace. He kissed her lips hungrily, dominating the kiss from every angle. He expertly removed her jeans and panties. He pushed her onto the couch and kneeled in front of her. Piper spread her legs out for him, so he could have better access. Percy moved forward and rested his mouth between her legs.
"I have been waiting for that tongue of yours to do magic all day long babe." Piper said between her moans.
Line-Break (3 years later)
At the dark two figures fought relentlessly. It was clear that both were skilled in the arts of weapons. Their swords clattered against each other; sparks flew everywhere. Neither looked to have the advantage, they looked to be fighting to death. One of those figures was the Hero of Olympus, Percy Jackson.
Percy finally managed to beat the figure to its back. He towered over the figure and smirked. Percy admitted it was a hard battle; but in the end he stood victorious. Like Always.
"Drop your sword, or you will die by my hands. I offer you mercy, to let you go free. Resist and you will regret your decisions till the end of the days," Percy offered. His sword rested on the figure's shoulder. The fight he had was tough, one of the hardest he had ever fought. But he was Percy Jackson; he wasn't going to be beaten.
The figure lay on its back, as it looked up at the dark eyes of the demigod. There was no doubt in this person's mind that the offer of mercy was a hoax. The son of Poseidon was going to kill them either way. Looking around, an idea came to its mind, and it kicked Percy's legs hard.
Percy stumbled and fell back from the sudden reaction, not expecting that. His eyes widened when he saw the sharp edge of the blade in front of his eyes. Fear ran through his body. "Surrender, son of Poseidon." The figure growled. There was a sharp edge in the person's voice, like any negative answer was going to have serious consequences.
Percy could not see any other way. So he did what no one had ever made him do. Something thousands of monsters, dozens of Titans and Giants, two Primordials had failed to make him do. "I surrender." He said through gritted teeth.
Sudden claps of hands were heard. Piper came forward, and there was a different glint in her eyes. Percy looked at her, "You would side with her?" He asked, betrayed that his own fiancé would stand against him. He was backstabbed by his own partner.
Piper laughed and pecked his cheek, "I love you honey, but she's our daughter, I am proud that she beat you."
Percy pouted, but one could see the mirth in his eyes. "I am also proud too; she is very good for a 6 year old." Percy said, and attacked his daughter, tackling her to the ground. He started tickling her mercilessly, ignoring her pleads.
Valerie giggled melodiously, her laughter filled both her parents hearts with love. They loved her more than anything in the world. It was scary sometimes how much they loved her, because Piper knew that Percy would rip the earth apart for his daughter.
Valerie was 6 years old now, and already had many boys after her. Her skills in sword fighting were more than advanced; for a mere 6 year old, she had the skills that even demigods twice her age wouldn't.
"Dad stop, I can't breathe," Valerie screamed, and Percy finally stopped.
Valerie breathed heavily and looked at Piper. Both mother and daughter had a conversation with their eyes. Then at once, both of them tackled Percy and started tickling him for a change.
The Jackson family spent the entire night together playing and laughing together. Just being a family together.
Line-Break (4 years later)
"Come on Val, grandpa Poseidon is waiting for us." Piper shouted to her daughter.
10 year old Valerie was starting her training her official training today. Her father had taught her all he could, but she needed a different experience. Her grandfather Poseidon had offered to train her in Atlantis, under the tutelage of the royal guards of House Poseidon. Today was the first day of her training.
Percy had told his daughter everything about the Greek world. He wanted his daughter ready for anything the world might throw at her. He didn't want her to have to learn everything like him, with life hanging on a thread.
He knew monsters would come after his daughter like-moth to flame. There are many who would love to take revenge on him by going after his daughter. He would not let that happen in any world. Percy knew that Valerie would have to go to camp, where people would not give you the time of the day if you looked weak. He still wanted his daughter to live a normal mortal life, so he and Piper agreed to her trainings at the weekend.
"Coming mom," Valerie shouted back. She rushed down to her waiting mother and father.
Percy smiled and kissed his daughter's temple. He grabbed Piper and Valerie and vapor traveled with them to Atlantis.
They arrived at the front gate of the Royal Palace of House Poseidon. The palace door was guarded by four merman guards. Spears in their hands, ready to deal with any threat. Percy, Piper and Valerie stopped when the front two guards crossed their spears in a X.
"Halt... Identification," a guard shouted. The two guards at the back pointed their spears at them.
"Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon," Percy stepped forward and answered.
The guards lowered their spears and fear etched into their faces. "I-I'm so-sorry my prince, please forgive us. We are new and didn't know your identity," One of the guards stuttered. There were severe punishments for raising weapons against a member of the royal family.
"Don't worry; I'm happy that the security is doing their job well. We have a meeting with my father." Percy waved off their concern. He wasn't going to get the poor guards fired, for one little mistake.
He took his family and traveled to the throne room of Atlantis. The throne room wasn't as big or grand as the one on Olympus. But some might debate that it was better; the walls were decorated with precious pearls that could only be found in deep seas.
There were three thrones in the room, occupied by three people. The King of the seas, Poseidon sat on the middle throne, his trident resting against the throne. The queen of the seas, Amphitrite occupying the throne by his left side. Triton, the heir of Poseidon, sitting on the throne by Poseidon's right. Delphin was also present; he looked like a normal dolphin, but he was anything but. He was the god of dolphins, and the lieutenant of Poseidon.
Half of the Royal guards stood at the two sides of the thrones. Along with an unknown merman, he looked old and wise; Percy figured that may be the trainer.
Percy stood in the middle of the throne room, his chin high and his posture, one of a King. "Father," he greeted the king of the seas.
"Lady Amphitrite," he nodded at the queen of Seas.
"Triton," Percy glanced towards the Prince of the Seas in acknowledgment. Piper and Valerie bowed slightly in respect to the gods.
The three royals nodded back at him. There was an air of respect around the room. Poseidon, Amphitrite, Triton all knew that Percy was as powerful as Poseidon, if not more. With the revelations of his control over every liquid, it was possible that he could take the command of the seas from Poseidon. But they knew that Percy was loyal to his family, as long as they ruled justly.
Poseidon got off his throne and stepped towards Percy. The unknown man followed him. "Percy son, allow me to introduce you to Master Agafya, he is the trainer of the forces of Atlantis. The Royal guards, the army, scouts are trained under him. He usually doesn't train single individuals, but he is willing to make an exception for the man who saved the world."
Percy nodded and turned to Agafya, and bowed his head in respect. "I am thankful for your help Master Agafya," he motioned for Valerie to come forward and bow. "This is my daughter Valerie Silena Jackson, legacy of Poseidon and Aphrodite. She would be your student."
Agafya nodded and addressed Valerie, "The training will be hard and rigid. I won't go easy on you like your father, if you are willing to train under me. You will not give up, you will not rest much." His voice was stern and emotionless.
Valerie nodded and agreed to the conditions. Though that didn't stop her from shooting a glare at her father.
