AN: So I know I said that it might take me a while to update but can I just apologise for how long this has taken me to write and I am really sorry for making you wait for this chapter. Also I'm sorry for any mistakes in this as I wrote the majority on my phone today whilst at work because we weren't very busy. And I have also recently gone through every review on the lightning thief story and then I read some of the chapters and have decided that I am slowly going to update and rewrite them as some of the chapters aren't very good and the sentences are too long so look out for that and I will put a not at the bottom of each chapter I rewrite so you all know. And finally thank you to every one who has favourited, followed or reviewed this story because you guys make my day and I love you so much for taking the time to do that.

Poseidon gazed steadily at his son and watched amused as he began to fidget uncomfortably, stepping from one foot to the other.

"So what did you want to talk to me about dad?" Percy asked hoping his discomfort didn't show in his voice.

"Can't you guess?"

"Erm, no?" Percy replied confused.

The sea god sighed in response, he'd really hoped his son would have at least some idea on why he wanted to talk to him, but alas it was not to be.

"I want to speak about your engagement to Annabeth" Poseidon replied bluntly, taking much amusement at the fact percy choked and looked like a fish out of water.

"What?" he squeaked "how do you know about that?"

''I am a god Percy, I know many things'' Poseidon boasted.

''Ok now you just sound like Apollo'' Percy said, giving him a look.

''Fine'' the god groaned ''I saw the ring''

''When did you see it?'' Percy questioned, wondering if there was any chance Athena had also seen the ring- only to dismiss that thought when he realised that the goddess of wisdom had not yet tried to murder him.

''A couple of chapters ago, I've been waiting for a chance to talk to you. ''

''So, what is you wanted to say about our engagement?'' Percy asked, bolstered by the fact his father didn't seem angry.

''I wanted to congratulate you and also ask when it happened as I don't seem to recall there being a ring on her finger when you were transported here?'' he replied, arching an eyebrow when Percy blushed slightly.

Coughing slightly Percy met his father's eyes ''thank you and I asked her after we read the chapter about the minotaur''

''That long huh'' Poseidon said glumly, slightly hurt at the fact his own son hadn't confided in him, but he also couldn't blame him as he knew that technically he was and he wasn't his father due to the time travel.

As if knowing what his father was thinking, Percy rushed to reassure the sea god ''the future you approved as well you know, in fact he was the one to get the ring made for me''

Poseidon smiled, glad that his future self approved as well as he ''I'm proud of you son, and I know that I'm not the father you are used to but all the same I am overjoyed that you have found someone to spend the rest of your life with, and I for one am happy that it is Annabeth because I can see that she loves you wholeheartedly.''

Percy grinned at his father ''so you're not mad that she's a daughter of Athena?''

''Not at all'' he replied and then grabbed his son into a hug. They embraced for a moment before a thought occurred to Poseidon and he stepped back ''when are you planning on telling Athena?'' he questioned and Percy sighed.

''We're not sure, but we're trying to leave it as long as possible so that we can delay me getting ripped limb from limb'' Percy half joked knowing that it was certainly an option.

Poseidon hummed in acknowledgement and racked his brain for ways to prevent bodily harm coming to his son.

''Believe it or not'' Percy began, snapping the sea god from his thoughts ''the future Athena actually gave me her blessing to marry Annabeth, I asked her a couple of weeks before we got transported here'' he finished to Poseidon's astonishment.

"Seriously?" Poseidon gaped and Percy nodded his head.

"Yeah, she told me that she knew of the lengths I would go to for her daughter and of everything I had done for her."

"But this Athena does not yet know of everything you've done for Annabeth, hades neither do I" Poseidon said still in slight shock.

"I know, that's one of the problems" the teen replied.

"Well son" Poseidon said, clapping a hand on Percy's shoulder "When the time comes, know that I will support you and Annabeth, no matter what"

"Thanks dad'' Percy said gratefully and Poseidon smiled at him.

"You're welcome my boy, now we better get going before anyone gets suspicious, as I fear we have been here longer than I intended already."

Both father and son turned and walked out of the throne room in slightly high spirits, unaware of the barn owl hidden behind one of the columns.

When Percy and Poseidon reached the dining room they were greeted with many curious looks, none more so than from Annabeth who met Percy's eyes as he took the seat next to her. Arching an eyebrow Annabeth awaited an explanation from her fiancé.

Percy leaned closer to her, wrapping an arm around her waist, and placed a kiss on her temple "I'll tell you later" he whispered into her ear, shooting a look at everyone around the table before he leaned back and began to gorge himself on the food in front of him; arm still placed securely around Annabeth's waist.

Everyone took a while to eat as they laughed and joked at the same time, well everyone but Athena that is as she spent the majority of the meal staring at Percy- which was a little unnerving to say the least. Eventually though everybody had finished and then decided to make their way towards the throne room- Athena tried to say she needed to check on something before they could continue but Zeus- impatient as ever- told her that she was to go with the rest of them.

Which is how a pouting goddess of wisdom ended up sulking in her chair, secretly glaring at the king of the gods.

''Right'' Zeus said, clapping his hands together ''I have decided that I shall be next to read'' he finished, clearing his throat as he grasped the book in his hands.
