Percy

"Would you stop fidgeting so much!" Annabeth wore her stern expression. Percy was nervous and like any other kid with ADHD, being nervous meant being restless. He was about to see his mother after months (almost a year) of being away. He didn't know why, it wasn't like his mom was going to be overly angry, she was very understanding. And it wasn't like the whole Hera wiping his memory and the whole quest about going and killing Mother Nature to save the world was his idea. He would much rather sit at home and do nothing (which unfortunately he hadn't been able to do since age twelve). Percy hated leaving his mother alone for so long (granted she wasn't really alone; she had Paul).

Him and Annabeth currently sat in a taxi cab headed to his mom's and Paul's new apartment in Manhattan. He had sent her an Iris message letting her know he was coming; the look of pleasure in her face was enough to keep him happy for years. "Oh, in Athena's name Percy! Would you stop shaking your leg?!" Annabeth reached out and held his knee down. "Everything is going to be fine," she assured him, taking his hand.

He gave her hand a light squeeze. "I know," he said. That didn't stop him from starting to shake his other leg.

Annabeth shook her head, "Seaweed Brain."

His mom's new apartment building was almost twenty stories high. Being that high above always agitated Percy though he was getting more accustomed to it after spending so much time aboard the Argo II.

They walked into the building and Annabeth talked to the reception person. "We're here to see Sally Jackson," she told her. The reception lady was wearing one of those artificial smiles flight attendants always seem to have; the woman had on way too much red lipstick.

"I'm sorry," the receptionist said, "There is no Sally Jackson in the building." She gave them an apologetic look, well tried to anyway.

Annabeth glanced sideways at Percy with a confused look. "Are you sure?" Percy asked, and then he seemed to realize the problem, "Oh! Sally Blofis!" he exclaimed, "Her name changed." Percy still wasn't used to his mother's new name; he was used to them having the same last name.

Annabeth nodded as well, "Oh yeah, it slipped my mind." She turned back to the reception lady, "Sally Blofis, please?"

The lady seemed to stroll through a list on her computer, "Yes, Sally Blofis. Room 18B."

They thanked the lady and walked to the center where the elevator was. Percy now started fidgeting with his Camp Half-Blood bracelet. It took way too long for the elevator to reach the eighteenth floor. Annabeth took his hand again, "Relax," she said.

Room 18B was on their left. The first thing Percy noticed was the plot of blue plants on the side, he smiled. He loved his mother's obsession with the color blue. Their door sign was blue too, it had his mom's and Paul's names; she had written his name on it as well, he recognized her hand writing. Gods, he really missed his mom. Sally opened the door before he had the chance to knock. His mother looked exactly the same, not that he was expecting her to sprout wings or anything. She stared at him for about five seconds before a huge smile formed in her face.

"Percy!" She half-shrieked. She slapped his shoulder first, "You have no idea how worried I was!" Then she grabbed him in a bear hug, holding him tight. He felt like a child again.

"Umm, Mom?" Percy spoke after a while.

"Shh… don't ruin the moment." Sally said.

"Can we go inside first?" Percy asked.

Sally sighed, "Always complaining." She let go of him and turned to Annabeth, "Annabeth dear, so good to see you again," Sally said embracing her as well.

"You too, Sally," Annabeth replied. They had gotten on a first name basis during Percy's stay at Camp Jupiter when neither of them knew where he was.

The apartment looked quite normal, less blue than the last one. His mom led them to the kitchen; Percy wasn't surprised to see an assortment of deserts starting with blueberry muffins and blue frosted cupcakes spread out on the countertop. His mom noticed his expression, "No food before we catch up," she commanded.

"Where's Paul?" Annabeth asked.

"He is actually in London right now; he's trying to open another Goode Academy there. He was very sorry he missed you guys," she told them.

"Another school? One wasn't enough?" Percy said, teasing. He was very fond of Paul and he was glad his mother was finally happy again, especially after being married to Smelly Gabe for years.

His mother gave him a scolding look, "Percy!"

"I'm just joking, I'm sure school is wonderful and all," he replied smiling.

His mother smiled in return, "Alright, now tell me everything."

Percy didn't know where to start. He had already told his mother about Hera erasing his memory. They sat around the kitchen counter (on those high chairs where you can dangle your feet), him sitting on the opposite side of his mom and Annabeth. He decided to start with their quest. He told her how he met the gang of the Argo II and how they became like a family. He decided to leave off the little part about the whole falling-into-Tartarus thing, his mother worried enough about him as it is. Annabeth noticed him leaving that part out and gave him a supportive smile. He briefly mentioned how the Olympian gods had come down and helped them defeat the giants though he didn't go into details about Poseidon aiding him and fighting by his side. She raised one of her eyebrows but didn't interrupt.

He told her how the Earth goddess awakened because of his stupid nose bleed (which he still didn't completely get). He ended with the final battle at Camp Half-Blood, how Leo sacrificed himself to save them. His mother reached over the counter and took his hand. After he finished, she let out a long sigh, "Here, have a muffin."

While he and Annabeth ate the desert, his mom caught them up to her life. She was now working on a new novel, an adventure story for kids. She told him she used elements from his quests because kids liked that stuff about heroes and monsters. Because they don't have to go through it every day, Percy thought but didn't say. His mother looked very excited about her book; he wasn't going to ruin that.

"And now for the big news," she said then paused for a few seconds staring at the duo. Annabeth put her juice down, and looked back at Sally. Percy however continued to stuff cupcakes in his mouth, completely oblivious. It's been way too long since he had had this much junk food.

"I'm expecting," his mother finally said.

Annabeth shrieked, "OH MY GODS, Congratulations!" She went and gave her a hug. Percy paused and looked between the two women; wondering what he missed.

"Expecting what?" he asked with his mouth full. Annabeth rolled her eyes, and muttered something under her breath.

"Expecting a baby," his mother replied, talking in the tone she used to use on him when he was younger.

"Expecting a baby to do what?" Percy asked again, gods females were confusing.

Annabeth shook her head, "She's pregnant, seaweed brain!" she said.

"Wait…what? You are?" he looked at her, "Umm… that's good, right? Well… yeah, of-course it's good. You're having a baby?" Percy himself didn't completely understand what he was saying.

"Sweetheart, just take a deep breath okay?" his mom said calmly.

After his mind processed the situation properly, Percy went and hugged his mom, "I'm very glad, Mom," he told her. "I would love another little sibling; Tyson barely counts, he's two stories tall."

His mom laughed, "I'm glad you're glad." She said.

Percy was feeling better than he had in a long time. His mother showed them his room, she decorated it herself. The wallpaper was sea blue. Percy's heart jumped when he noticed the flower in the windowsill, it was a moonlace, the same one Callypso had given him so many years ago. He also remembered promising Leo he'd help him find her. The demigods still had trouble believing Leo was dead, Percy held out hope as well. No one found Ogygia twice but then again, they weren't Leo Valdez.
