A/N: Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to upload this chapter, I was on holiday and I was also working on my other stories. So this is the second chapter to 'A Percabeth Proposal'. It is in Annabeths Point of View which 'percabeth14gtown' said would be a good idea, I totally agree ;) Thanks to all who reviewed:

I can't believe it!
After Percy proposed, he dropped me off at my cabin and I literally collapsed onto my bed while doing some sort of 'happy' dance. I know, it doesn't sound like me but to be honest I didn't feel like myself right now. I was going to get married. To Percy Jackson. The very person I had my first kiss with, the same person I had first met when I was twelve. My cabin were all out at dinner so I had time to think over everything.
I never imagined myself getting married this young, I always thought that my career came first and no one would stop me from living out my dream as an architect. But I had my dream now, I am almost done building and designing Olympus and I will tell you now, it is beautiful. And as well as having that job, I work in the mortal world too, as a waitress at a fancy restaurant which gives me a small but steady income.
My life is great (minus the monsters), in the summers I come to camp to spend time with my friends and during the rest of the year I live in my small apartment not far from the Empire State Building (for obvious reasons). But the best thing about my life is Percy, and yes this will sound sappy, but I love him with all my heart and I have secretly been hoping that he would propose for a while now.
So when he did I was ecstatic, over the moon even, I tried to hide it on the outside a bit because otherwise he might think I was mental, but inside my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest it was beating so hard. There was only one little problem. Ok, more like two big problems. Our parents. I can almost see Poseidon being ok with it, but my mother was a definite no. She hated Poseidon because of him sneaking into her temple with Medusa and preforming some rather over the top PDA. He was sea spawn to her and Percy was just a mini me version of him, which meant, unluckily for me that she hated Percy for that as well as (and I quote) 'corrupting her little girl'.
When we tell her she won't be happy, I can tell you this for certain. She will tell me that I am ruining my life and then it is more than likely that she will turn Percy into an owl of some sort. And I am not looking forward to having my fiancé as a winged creature.
But maybe my mother is right. Maybe I will ruin my life and career forever. I mean I am only twenty two years old for Zeus' sake!
"Wait, get control over yourself Annabeth. You love him. He loves you. You will be together all the time anyway what difference does a little bit of paper make?" I thought to myself. Maybe all the difference. No. I am marrying Percy Jackson and I am not backing down.
After I got that sorted I jumped off my bed and out of the door towards the dining area for dinner. As I walked along the path I saw Percy and Grover standing next to each other, Grover clapping Percy on the back smiling broadly. I jogged over to them both.
"Hey guys!" I said as I reached them.
"Annabeth!" Percy exclaimed gleefully as he picked me up and swung me around by the waist. "How is my beautiful wife to be doing?" He said.
"All the better for seeing you Seaweed Brain."
"Can we drop the nicknames?"
"Never!" I replied. Grover cleared his throat to make himself seen in the middle of our 'lovey-dovey' moment. (Aphrodite would be proud.)
"Grover!" I shouted and gave him a huge hug.
"Hey Annabeth. Congratulations! I mean I am seriously happy for you guys! After everything you have been through, you deserve it"
"Thanks Grover, that means loads to me." I said while hugging him again. I turned to Percy. "Perce, do you think we should tell the whole camp after dinner?" I suggested.
"I suppose we should really… They will find out soon enough anyway."
"Ok, let's get to dinner before we miss it." And with that we walked to the dining area. When we came to the tables Grover and Percy went off to sit at the Poseidon table (Grover could sit anywhere he wanted because he was a satyr) while I went off to eat with my siblings at the Athena table.
Throughout dinner I basically didn't say anything, I was too nervous about the big announcement. Percy had already told Chiron that he and I wanted to talk to the campers, so it was settled, we were telling the whole camp. I only talked when absolutely necessary, but even then one word answers. I was too afraid I would vomit up the little I had eaten. After a while Chiron went up to the head table and banged his hoof on the floor. The talking died down to an eventual silence.
"I believe that it was Percy and Annabeths wish to come up here and talk to all of you campers." He gestured for us to come up. Mr D grumbled as we walked hand in hand to the table.
"Urm, hi guys…" Percy began; he got a few hellos back in a murmured tone, like the one people use for good mornings in school assembly's.
"We have some big news to tell you." I carried on.
"We are engaged." Percy said. Then all hades broke loose from the Aphrodite cabin. Basically all of the campers, even some we didn't know ran up to congratulate us. I got hugs from my close friends: Piper, Clarisse (believe it or not), Leo, Jason, Frank and Hazel (who were staying at Camp Half-Blood instead of Camp Jupiter for a while) as well as many others from siblings and even people I don't usually get along with.
After all of the initial excitement died down Chiron came up to us.
"It has been a long time since two Demigods have gotten married. I am extremely happy for you two. You were able to save the world, might I add twice, and still maintain the love you have for one another, I think this is very admirable." Tears started to well up in my eyes when Chiron finished, he had always been like a father to me and somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that those were the words I had always wanted to hear from him. I could see the same feeling was coming over Percy, except he was hiding it better than I was. I dived in to hug Chiron, which at first he seemed surprised at, but relaxed into it after a few seconds. He hugged Percy and wished us goodnight, but before leaving turned to say:
"I am proud of you both."
That night, after Percy had walked me back to my cabin, I couldn't sleep. I knew that tomorrow Percy and I would go to Olympus to tell our parents about the engagement. That I was extremely worried about. But I knew I still needed to tell one person other than our parents about our engagement – Thalia.
There you have it, chapter 2! There will be more so please follow or favourite or review or something...(I just used loads of or's :L ) Anyway I hope you liked it!I promise I will update soon! :)
