Chapter Eight
"Percy?" I say again, my knees wobbling.
Percy, and not my son Percy, my husband Percy, takes a hesitant step towards me. "It's really me, Annabeth."
"But, but… you're dead…" I whisper.
Percy smiles. "Let me explain. Care to take a walk?"
"So, what you're saying, is you made a deal with Hades, Thanatos, Hera and Zeus. Hera took your memories, Zeus captured your essence, Thanatos took your spirit, and you jumped into the River Lethe. It took them six years to find you in your new body, and they erased the memories of you from everyone and restored you."
Percy nods, his hands stuffed in his pockets. He kicks at the sand along the beach, not meeting my eyes.
"So…. Where does that put us, relationship-wise?" he asks softly.
I grab his chin and make him look at me before I kiss him, hard. "Does that answer your question?"
Two Weeks Later
"It's not weird, right?"
"No, Annabeth, people do this all the time." Thalia reassures me.
"Yeah, when their eighty." I mutter under my breath.
Percy and I are getting remarried. Or renewing our vows. Whatever you want to call it.
"Ready?" Piper asks.
I take a deep breath. "Ready."
One Month Later, December
I read it again, just to be sure. Yep, two green lines.
"Annabeth? Are you okay?" Percy calls through the door,
"Umm…"
The door opens. Percy looks at me and immediately drops to the floor beside me. "What's wrong?" he asks urgently.
I slowly look up at him from my clenched fist.
"Uh…"
"Annabeth?! What's wrong?!" Percy begs.
I open my fist. Percy looks down in confusion for a minute. Such a Seaweed Brain.
His lips slowly form a small, "o", and his eyes go wide.
"Oh." He squeaks.
YAYYYYYYY PERCY'S BACK! But what are the two green lines? REVIEW and tell me what YOU think they are! ~Ali
