Chapter 10!

I looked at him wide eyed. No that's impossible; that would mean the man that I had spent driving from California to New York was Percy this whole time. How did I not see that?

He looked at me confused, "Anna?" I guess that Seaweed Brian hadn't realized yet, then again I guess I'm not one to talk. "Anna what's wrong? Why are you crying?" I hadn't even noticed the tears rolling down my cheeks until he had pointed them out. He crossed the room and pulled me into a hug.

Once I was in his arms I broke down sobbing. "I can't believe it's you. I can't believe your back Seaweed Brian. I missed you."

That's when he pulled away. "How do you…" he paused and realization came across his face, "Annabeth?" I nodded and gave him a smile. He pulled me into his arms again, "It was you the whole time, how did I miss that, I'm so sorry so so so sorry." With that I pressed my lips to his; he licked my lip asking for entrance which I allowed. After sometime we broke apart breathing heavily. He pushed some of my hair behind my ear and leaned his forehead on mine so we where looking each other in the eyes.

We stayed like that for quite some time just looking into each others eyes just taking each other in. Then his eyes got wide and his mouth dropped open, "What is it," I asked in a hushed voice.

One word came out of his mouth, "Ava." He moved away from me and sat on his sofa, running his hands threw his still wet messy hair, which had grown out some since the last time I had seen him. I sat down next to him waiting for him to say more. "She's…she's mine isn't she?"

"Yes," I whispered leaning my head on his shoulder.

"I left you alone I made you raise our daughter alone," he sounded so broken so sad. "I shouldn't have taken that quest. If I would have known you where going to get pregnant, I wouldn't have. I'm so sorry."

I lifted my head from his shoulder and turned his face so he was looking at me. It's not your fault you didn't know…I didn't know at the time. I did fine on my own…" I didn't get to finish my sentence though.

"You got into an abusive relationship because of me," he said his tone coming across as harsh. "If I would have just said no to the quest then that would have never happened, you would have just stayed in New York with me and we would have raised Ava. No one would have raised a hand to either of you."

"You did not make me get into that relationship. I was stupid and depressed. I was the one who stayed when I should have just left. It's my fault not yours." I couldn't believe how he blamed himself for what happened.

"No it is," he shook his head. "I understand if you hate me or something."

"How could I hate you Seaweed Brian when I never stopped loving you," I told him bringing his lips to mine once again.

"I love you too Wise Girl," he replied, "I had never stopped loving you either."

"I should probably get back to Ava," I informed him.

"Where is she anyway," Percy asked.

"Grover and Juniper are babysitting her back at camp," I answered. I wondered what they have been doing while I have been gone this whole time.

"Can I come with to see here again," he questioned shyly. A smile came across my face and I nodded. I wanted her to know that he was her father not just some guy who helped us get to New York.

"I want her to know it's you," I told him, "for her to know who her daddy is. Also I'm pretty sure Chiron wants to talk to you and Grover and Nico. You have a lot of explaining to do Seaweed Brian."

"I guess I do," he smiled back at me.

Hey guys I hope you liked chapter 10. I'm sorry it's so short, but I'm not completely sure what's going to happen next so bare with me. I might not update right away like I have been for the past few days. So I'm sorry if the next chapter takes a little longer.

Write on,
