Percy PoV

Artemis walked toward Blackjack, stroking his mane.

"You have a Pegasus?" She asked. Blackjack neighed.

I tapped my fiancé's forehead. "Now you can hear him. And, I don't own Blackjack. He feels like he owes me."

"Is this your new lady friend?" The Pegasus asked.

"I'm Percy's fiancé," Artemis told Blackjack.

Blackjack bowed his head, nuzzling Artemis.

She laughed, petting the flying horse.

"We're going to ride him to my mom's," I explained.

Artemis mounted the black Pegasus, and I mounted behind her.

My goddess held onto Blackjack's mane, while I held her waist.

We landed on top of the new apartment building my mom and Paul had moved into.

I held out a hand to help Artemis down.

While insisting she didn't need the help, the goddess took my hand anyway, swinging down into my arms.

I held her hand as we walked down to the elevator.

We went down to my mom's floor and I knocked on the door.

It was opened a minute later, and I saw the heartwarming smile of my loving mother.

I was pulled into a bone-crushing hug, which I gladly returned.

My mom realized there was another person there and extended a hand. "Hi, I'm Sally Jackson, Percy's mother."

They shook hands and exchanged greetings.

I used the facilities, and when I returned, Artemis and my mom were laughing away.

I sat down next to Artemis and took a bite out of a blue cookie. Artemis pecked my cheek.

I swallowed. "I assume Artemis has filled you in on everything?"

"Don't go getting yourself blown up by Zeus for marrying his daughter," my mother warned.

"He makes me happy," Artemis said. "Father won't try to kill him."

I smiled, kissing her temple.

"That's good to hear. I'd love to have grandchildren someday," my mother mused.

We were summoned to the throne room.

Artemis and I were instructed to stand in the centre.

Neither of us minded, to be quite honest.

Of course, a meeting had been called to discuss our engagement.

"Why were we not informed of these events?" Zeus demanded.

Artemis shrugged. "We did not find it to be of importance."

"That an Olympian and one of the heroes of Olympus were getting married?" Aphrodite questioned.

Artemis fended off questions while I stood there with my arms around her.

I found myself the target of Zeus's master bolt before Artemis intervened.

"Father," she reasoned. "He makes me happy. Isn't that what should matter to you? Besides, since he will marry me, he is immortal, and will always be around to protect Olympus. I am an Olympian, so he will always be fighting for us."

Zeus lowered his weapon. After more talking about stuff I didn't understand, we appeared back at my fiancé's palace.

I was content just laying there with Artemis in my arms.

After a while, she shifted so she was facing me and gave me a gentle peck on the lips.

I smiled and did the same, resting my forehead against hers. "I love you."

"I love you too," she breathed, leaning closer to kiss me again.

I allowed her to control the kiss, letting out a soft groan as she tugged on my hair and her tongue explored my mouth.

It was a hungry, dominant kiss, but it was also a gentle, loving kiss.

In other words, it was Artemis.

"Percy," she murmured. "Will you really stay forever?"

"Always," I replied.

My fiancé smiled, head rested on my chest. "Nothing's ever been stable for me."

"The price of immortality," I muttered.

Artemis pecked my lips, and I pulled her closer.

A few minutes of my senseless rambling later, I realized that my audience of one was asleep.

Or so I thought.

I stopped my rambling, and Artemis shifted.

"Keep talking," she murmured. "Your rambling is cute."

I smiled and continued to talk, telling her about how I wanted to be a father, and I wanted to start a family with her.

I kept talking about other nonsense things until I heard the doorbell.

I kissed the top of my flancé's head and slipped out from under her.

I was replaced by a pillow. Me! Replaced by a freaking pillow!

I sighed and checked the door, finding Aphrodite standing there.

"Artemis!" I called. "Aphrodite is here!"

My goddess mumbled something I couldn't hear, and I directed Aphrodite to the couch.

I closed the front door and went to detach my future wife from my replacement.

Artemis was sitting up, rubbing her eyes.

I pecked her lips and held her hand, leading her out to the living room.

"You look tired," The love goddess stated.

I shrugged, replying for Artemis. "She was sleeping."

"And what were you doing?" Aphrodite retorted.

"Rambling," Artemis murmured. "Percy was rambling about aliens or something. His rambling is cute."

My flancé pecked my cheek and sent me to make food while they talked.

Third PoV

Artemis sat down across from Aphrodite and covered her mouth as she yawned. "So, what brings you here?"

Aphrodite giggled. "You and Percy! Duh! Why did you fall for him, anyway? It's not like he gives you anything any other man on Olympus can't."

"While your statement may be correct to some extent, none of them do," Artemis explained. "I'm not difficult. Hell, Percy spontaneously asked me to the movies and I said yes. Nobody ever bothered to ask."

Percy sat down next to Artemis, setting down a batch of blue cookies. "And while that is shocking, I'm glad for it. If anyone had asked you out before me, I may not have you as my own."

He pecked her temple and handed her a cookie.

Aphrodite was squealing and murmuring to herself about how cute Pertemis was.

Artemis shifted in Percy's arms, looking over at Aphrodite. "Is that all?"

Aphrodite nodded, disappearing in a cloud of perfume.

Percy carried Artemis back to the bedroom, setting her down on her feet.

The immortal snapped her fingers, letting out a scoff as a small camera appeared in her hand.

"Aphrodite?" Percy asked. Artemis nodded, crushing it to dust.

After they finished de-bugging the bedroom, Artemis snuggled into her fiancé's chest.

Percy kissed the top of her head, falling back on the bed.

Artemis sat back up, pulling him toward the door.

The green-eyed immortal groaned, stumbling after her. "What are we doing?"

"I'm giving my virginity domain to Hestia, and you're bringing me back home afterwards because transferring domains drains power," Artemis explained.

"Wait," Percy said. "Why do you need to hand it over?"

"Because I want kids," Artemis said

bluntly.

"I don't understand," Percy whined. "Do the storks not drop the babies off if you're still a virgin?"

Artemis face-palmed. "Do you know what pregnancy is?"

"Not really," Percy replied. "I never made it to health class ya know, kinda trying not to get killed."

"Sex," Artemis explained. "During sex, the female is sometimes impregnated, and carries the child for nine months before she gives birth to them."

"Or eighteen," Percy added.

"What?" Artemis asked.

"Well, if it takes one baby nine months to form, it would take two babies eight months to form," Percy explained.

"I love you, but you can be really stupid sometimes," Artemis murmured.

"I did one smart thing though," Percy complained.

"And what would that be?" Artemis asked curiously.

"Ask you to marry me," Percy answered seriously.

Artemis leaned up and pecked his lips. "Good boy."

Percy smiled, and they appeared at the front door of Hestia's cottage.

The door swung open, and a little orb of light led them to the family room.

Hestia was curled up on the couch, covered by the massive dog next to her.

She sat up and stretched, petting the dog before greeting the couple.

They went through the motions, and a bright white orb floated out of Artemis's mouth, settling in Hestia's hand.

Percy caught his fiancé as she fell backwards, holding her close.

Hestia wished him good luck and waved her hand, transporting him and his future wife back to their home.
