Percy POV:

"Percy?" I hear Lydia ask me with a mouthful of spaghetti. "Yes, Lydia" I reply. "Do you love my mama?" I almost spit out my food. "Ha-Ha-" I say trying fake laughs. Annabeth does the same. "I am serious." Lydia says to us. "Um, Lydia. Why don't you give Percy and I some alone time. Go color or watch T.V" Annabeth tells her. "Okay, mama." she says as she runs out of the kitchen. "Heh-well, I guess she is more observant than we thought." I say trying to break the silence. "Percy...come here." she says giving me a smile. I give her a smile right back.

~LINE BREAK~

"Annabeth, you realize that its like ten o'clock at night right?" I say as take my arm out from behind her. "It-it is?" she says followed by a yawn. We had attempted to watch a movie but Annabeth fell asleep. "Yes it is." I say as I kiss her. She smiles and kisses me back. This is all followed by more kissing. "Mama?" I hear Lydia say walking into the room. "Yeah, baby? Whats wrong?"Annabeth asks her. "I had a bad dream." She replies. "Here," Annabeth says getting off of the couch,"lets tuck you back in bed." "No, I want Percy to do it." Lydia says. "Um..." I say awkwardly. I look at Annabeth and she gives me a nod. "Okay."

"Percy?" she asks me as I pull the covers over her. "You love my mama don't you." "You know what, Lydia? I do love her. Are you okay with that?" I say. "Well, duh!" Lydia says to me. "Well okay then! Goodnight, Lydia." I say as I get up and walk out of the room.
