A/N: I revised this chapter the best I could.
"Mckenzie, Sandra. Get up." I said as I entered my kid's room.
"Mom, five more minutes!" Sandra said.
"No, you get up this instant!"
"Mom it's too early."
"Sandra it's 8 o clock."
"Exactly my point! It's too early."
"No it's not"
"Anyways why aren't you yelling at Mckenzie?"
"Because he's not complaining."
"He's not complaining because he's still sleeping."
"Mckenzie, Mckenzie wake up." I told my son as I shook him.
"I didn't do anything, I'm innocent." Mckenzie said as he woke up.
"Mckenzie wake up, you need to go to school."
"Mom it's too early!"
"See Mom I told you" said Sandra triumphantly
"Fine then if that's what you want." As I said this I walked over to the radio and tuned to the classical station. Instantly Mozart was heard throughout the house.
"Okay, okay I'm up!" Mckenzie and Sandra said simultaneously.
"Finally" I said and sighed.
After I got of from work I got a call from Percy.
"Hey Annabeth, it's me, Percy."
"Oh, hi."
"Well I'm at the airport with Rebecca."
"Oh, right, Rebecca."
"Well, Annabeth, can you come pick me up?"
"Sure, where are you?"
"At the airport, where else would I be? And you're supposed to be smart?"
"Cut the sarcasm will you. I'll be there in half an hour."
At Home
"Mckenzie, Sandra, I'm home!"
"Hey Mom!"
"Where's your brother?"
"In his room."
"Well, get him down here. Were going to meet Percy today."
"Mom I'm not going, and don't even try to convince me." Mckenzie suddenly said. He was standing at the top of the stairs.
"Mckenzie, you have to come. He's your dad."
"No he's not, his sperm simply fertilized your egg!"
"Why are you so stubborn?!"
"It's a quality I get from you."
"I don't care what you say, you are going to the airport with Sandra and me!"
"Make me!"
"Mckenzie, please," I sighed in exasperation, "Do this for me, at least give him a chance to show you the kind of person he is. I didn't ask you to immediately love him, just, get to know him."
"Mom I already know what kind of person he is. He's the kind of person that leaves even the nicest person in the world, who doesn't fight for anything because he's a coward."
"That's not true!" Sandra said defensively.
"How would you know that, you've never even met the guy."
"You haven't met him either yet you confirm that he's bad. How come you get to determine what kind of person he is but I can't?"
"I just know that he's bad. He left Mom, how can you not think he's bad."
"Have you ever stopped to think that maybe he had reasons to do that?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know. But I'm sure that he had a very good reason to leave Mom."
"I have an idea. Why don't we give him a chance and get to know him so we can see who's right instead of just hypothesizing." I said to end the argument between my children and hopefully get Mckenzie to meet Percy.
"Fine. I'll go." Mckenzie said and sighed.
At the airport
"Hi, you must be Annabeth. I'm Rebecca, Percy has told me a lot about you." said a woman with chestnut hair and hazel eyes. She looked beautiful, I could definitely see why Percy was marrying her. She was so much more beautiful than I could ever be.
"I hope that all he said was good." I said though I doubted anything he said about me was good.
"Oh, it was. You must be Sandra and Mckenzie." she said turning her attention to my children.
"Oh, my gosh! It is Rebecca Dawson!." said Sandra excitedly.
Rebecca laughed and said, "It's always nice to meet a fan."
"Nice to see you, Annabeth. It's been a long time." Percy said suddenly coming from the bathroom, based on the toilet paper on his shoe.
