Percy POV:
As soon as I got that call from Annabeth I almost fainted. She was calling ME. Not only was she calling me but asking me to watch Lydia. As soon as she texted me the address I got in my car. The whole way there I could barely stay in my seat.
When I got there and rang the doorbell I was surprised to see Lydia answer it. "Percy, again thank-you so much for watching her." she tells me "No problem." I tell her. "Lydia, this is Percy. He is going to watch you while Momma goes and does something." she tells her. "Okay, Momma, I love you. I see you later." After that she walks out the door and drives away. "Hey! Your the old friend that my Momma misses!" Lydia tells me as I take a seat at the kitchen table. "I am?" I ask her very confused." "Yeah, she was crying earlier and looking at a picture. I asked her who it was and she said it was an old friend named Percy that she missed. Thats why she was crying." she tells me. This makes me feel so happy I almost explode.
Annabeth misses me? I think to myself. I am happy and so confused. I try not to say anything back to Lydia about it, thinking something will go wrong. "So, Lydia? What do you want do want to do?" I ask her. "Oh, oh! Can we watch a movie? How about, The Little Mermaid?" she says to me. "Oh, okay! Can u get it for me?" "Oh, yeah!" she says running down the hall to a closet and getting the disk from a shelf.
At the halfway mark of the movie I am already so confused. How to they know Triton has a daughter named Ariel? I say to myself. After a few more minutes of terror I feel a head fall on my shoulder. It of course is Lydia's. She looks close to falling asleep and I can only agree with her. I am tired too.
Annabeth POV:
When I get down to the office I was stuck there for three hours. It turns out some of my builders hit a sewage pipe when they were building a customer's house and they would take twice as long to build it. When I finally got home I sat in my car for who knows how long. I sat there thinking about the fact that I let Percy back into my life and I didn't even want to know how Eric would react to this little incident when he gets home. I didn't realize until now that I missed Percy so much.
After I had some time to myself in my car. I decide to go inside. When I do what I find really surprises me. Percy and Lydia are asleep on the couch together. Her head is on his chest and his arms are wrapped around her protectively. I just want to scream "AWWWW!" but I don't want to wake them. So, I go and pick up my baby girl and then wake up Percy. "Wha-what?" he says confused as he rubs his eyes. "Hey, Percy, you and Lydia fell asleep so I took her to her room. "Oh, okay." "I just want so say thank-you again so much." I say to him sweetly. "Oh, it was no problem. She was great." he says as he gets up and grabs his keys. As I watch him I am surprised to see that he still has the keychain I made for him before we spilt up. I don't say anything about it though. As he walks out the door he stops and turns and smiles at me. "Thanks for letting me watch her tonight, Annabeth." he says before he turns around again and walks to his car. As I close the door I can't help but smile and blush as I walk to my room.
