"Hello, Annabeth," a woman that looked like the exact replica of Annabeth, but older, said.

Annabeth's mouth opened, then it closed, then opened again, and closed. Basically what I'm getting at is that she looked like a fish.

I squeezed her hand really hard, which wasn't a smart idea since she ended up glaring at me and smacked my wrist.

"Ow," I muttered.

She just rolled her eyes at me.

"Um, hi, Athena," I said for Annabeth, since she obviously wasn't going to say anything.

Athena turned to me and gave me a cold glare that sent shivers up my spine.

"I don't have anything to say to you, fish face. If you're smart at all you would just keep quiet and let me talk to my daughter," Athena hissed at me, her eyes glowing with hatred.

"Mother!" Annabeth exclaimed.

Athena's cold glare turned to her daughter and softened, but only a little.

"Annabeth, I don't even get how you can hang out with this-this dumb headed idiot!" Athena exclaimed with a crazy look in her eyes that scared me more than Annabeth did when I insulted her intelligence.

"He's not dumb!" Annabeth said. "He just isn't, well, smart."

"Gee, thanks," I mumbled. She shushed me.

"Anyways, where is Percy's dad? I thought he was here too?" Annabeth asked her mother.

"I believe he got caught up in the elevator. He said something about the buttons turning different colors when you pushed them," Athena mused.

"What?" I said with amazement. "Oh my gosh! That is so awesome!"

Annabeth whacked me on the arm while Athena just ignored me.

"So, Mom, you must tell me-" Annabeth started, but was then cut off when my dad burst into the room.

"Oh my God, you guys have to check the elevator out! You would push the button once and it would be blue, then you'd hit it again and it was pink, and then green, then purple, then-"

"Poseidon!" Athena hissed, cutting my dad off.

"What?" he asked innocently. "Oh, right. Hey Percy! Long time no see!"

I stared at him with a look that said 'No, really?".

"So, Dad," I started, "after 7 years, that's all you have to say?"

"No!" he said hastily. "Um, well, there's more. I'm not going to get into that long old speech of 'Why I was gone'. That just takes too long and is soooo boring and nobody ever believes them in the end, at least that's how it goes in the movies."

Athena rolled her eyes.

I couldn't help but think of how much Annabeth was like her mom.

"Um, okay then," Annabeth said. "So why are you guys all here? I mean, Hades with Nico, and now you two. Why now, all of a sudden?"

"Well, we obviously saw Percy's accident on the news, so Poseidon over here was all upset and called Zeus about how Thalia was trying to raise money for him, then Hades saw how Maria and Bianca, um, died. Then I saw how Annabeth was shot. We obviously lost touch and were trying to find you all, and this helped us with that," Athena said.

"Why didn't you hire a private investigator if you really wanted to find us?" I asked.

"Well, um, this is kind of embarrassing," Poseidon started to say, "we didn't actually, er, know what a private investigator was until we found where you were."

I stared at my dad with a blank face.

"Really?" Annabeth said, not believing it for one minute.

"Yes, really," Athena said with a straight face.

"Anyways, believe it or not, but the point is that we're here because we want to be involved in your lives more. All your misfortunes here have also helped us realize that we need to cherish every moment we have with you, before you're gone. I know that it's already late for Hades with Bianca and Maria, but it isn't late with us," Poseidon stated.

I looked over to Annabeth who was biting her lip.

"Can we speak over this?" I asked Poseidon and Athena.

"Yes, of course," Poseidon said. Athena and Poseidon stayed put.

"Privately," I added.

"Oh, um yes," Poseidon and Athena started to mumble while leaving the room.

"I think we should forgive them," I told Annabeth once they left the room.

"Why, Percy? Why should we forgive them?" Annabeth half yelled.

"Sweetheart, we have nothing to loose. Maybe they'll try for a little while, or maybe even succeed with their askings, but even if they don't, what's in the harm of them trying?" I told her with the softest voice I could gather.

"Percy, the harm of them trying is that they could hurt us again!" Annabeth hissed.

"Hey, weren't you the one telling me last week that I should visit with my dad? That you wished that your mom had the guts to do the same? What happened to that?"

"They came, that's what happened!" Annabeth yelled at a full volume now. "I thought it would have been nice to see them and everything, but now that they're here it's just-it's just that-"

"You don't know," I finished for her.

"Please, Percy," Annabeth said, dragging out the please, "I'm never wrong." She started to rub her temples and paced around the room.

"Babe," I said gently, "come here."

Annabeth walked over to my side and laid down in the bed with me.

"It's okay to be wrong sometimes," I whispered in her ear, then kissed her head.

"I know, Percy, I know. It just feels so... so... weird!" she said.

"I bet it does," I told her, gently rubbing circles in her shoulder. "But failing every once in awhile leads to an even greater success. Maybe we'll be wrong about our parents. Maybe they really don't mean what they said. I guess if we were wrong, we'll just have to learn from it and bump up our trust level."

Annabeth pondered over my thought for awhile.

"I suppose you're right," she said. "When did you become so smart?"

I smirked. "I think it came from my super smart fiancee," I told her with a slight chuckle.

She laughed along with me.

"Can we come in?" I heard Athena's voice through the door.

"Yes," Annabeth called.

Athena and Poseidon slowly made their way to the foot of my bed.

"We've decided to forgive you," I told them.

A smile slowly appeared across their faces.

"Percy, when are we telling our parents?" Annabeth asked me after Athena and Poseidon left.

"I don't know. I think we should tell mine first because if my mom doesn't accept it, then your parents never will," I told her.

"Okay, sounds fine by me. When is your mom going to be back?" she asked me.

"I think she was going to talk to Poseidon and Athena first and then she'd be back," I said, trying to remember what she told me before the chaos started.

"Percy, are you sure we're doing the right thing here?" Annabeth asked me.

"About what?" I asked her, not exactly sure what she was getting at.

"I meant about getting engaged. I know that I'm sure about you, I just feel a little young to be doing this," she told me, not looking into my eyes.

"Annabeth, like I said, we don't even have to tell anyone. It could just be between our families. We won't even get married until we're out of college, I know that one for sure. I'm just worried about what happens during college. That we loose touch, people start hitting us, so on and so on," I told her with 100% honesty.

"Oh, Percy," Annabeth said, "haven't we gone over this? We will never loose touch. We will be Skyping everyday, and we'll visit each other on the weekends. Someone tries to hit on me I'll slap them, and you better do the same. Being engaged doesn't change any of that, just makes it more official."

"Soo, what?" I asked after an awkward silence. "Are we going to call it off?"

Annabeth thought about it for what seemed like an eternity.

"No," she finally said, and in my head I let out a breath that I had been mentally holding. "I just don't want this whole thing advertised. We can tell our parents, maybe a couple of our friends, but other than that I don't want anyone else to know."

"Okay, it's a deal," I told her smiling then kissed her.

Once we broke apart, my mom came storming in, Paul at her heels.

"The nerve of your father!" she exclaimed.

"He wasn't so bad," I said under my breath.

"7 years, Percy! 7 years!" she yelled.

"Mom, take deep breaths. Breathe in through the nose, and out through the mouth," I said slowly, as if talking to someone with mental problems. Paul rubbed her shoulders.

"Okay," she said at once. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Just need a break from all this."

"Mom, you won't even have to see him at all. I'm old enough that once I get out of here for good Annabeth can bring me over there, or Nico and Hazel can, and we can meet up with our parents," I said to try and reassure her.

"I suppose you're right," she said while staring off into space with a blank expression on her face.

"I'm guessing this is a wrong time to tell her," Annabeth whispered into my ear.

"Tell me what?" Mom asked.

Shit, I thought in my head.

"You're not pregnant, are you?" my mom looked at Annabeth.

"NO!" we basically screamed.

My mom's face visibly relaxed.

"Then what is it?" Paul inquired.

"Well, um, uh, Mom, we've decided that we want to get married some day," I told her, not looking at her face.

It turned into a horrible silence that slowly killed my heart.

"We aren't going to get married until after college!" Annabeth said quickly to try and lighten the silence. "And we don't want anyone to know other than family and a few close friends."

I finally looked at my mom. Her face was frozen with pure shock. I gave her a half smile.

"Are you guys okay with this?" I asked, looking at both my mom and Paul, whose expression was blank.

"You guys really want to go through with this?" Paul asked.

"Well, yeah. I've known Annabeth since we were in diapers and she's been there for me ever since. This engagement is more like a more serious relationship, but we'll still get married at the normal age. It's not like we're going to get hooked up right after High School," I joked slightly.

Paul's face stayed straight.

"Well," my mom said, finally speaking up, "if you're happy I'm happy. And Annabeth basically lives with us already, you're practically my daughter."

Annabeth smiled at her.

I looked over at Paul who was slightly frowning.

"Paul?" I asked.

He sighed, "As long as this doesn't happen until you're at the right age, I'm fine with it."

"We promise it won't be until we're done with college and have the appropriate jobs to start our lives together," Annabeth said. I nodded.

"Then welcome to the family," he smiled at Annabeth.

Telling Annabeth's parents was even harder.

Annabeth's dad yelled at her through the phone, then proceeded to threaten me.

Annabeth finally hung up, but that didn't stop him from bringing his wife with him to the hospital for a not-so-surprise visit.

My parents finally started to talk some sense into them, and in the end they were cool with it. Dr. Chase apologized for threatening to chop off a certain man part and gave us his condolences, but then he asked a question we never even thought of.

"Did you tell Athena and Poseidon?"

Annabeth and I gave each other a look.

"Shit," we said together.
