Sally's POV

I ducted my head down to get into the passenger side of mine and Paul's Prius being careful not to bump the neatly wrapped black and whit pock a dot wrapped present that I was carrying. A big sea green bow ordained the top of the medium sized box. Today was June 11 Annabeth and Percy's one year wedding anniversary and they were spending a week out at Montauk and they would be leaving in 2 days to come back here to the city but they wanted to invite everyone out there for a day to help celebrate with them. So that's why Paul and I are making the 2 and a half hour drive out to Montauk today.

I stared out the window watching the trees roll by the car window thinking about everything under the sun.

"It'll be good to see the kids," Paul said glancing over at me. "Kat's like 11 weeks along right?"

"Yea and Connor and Sadria just celebrated their one year anniversary what 3 months ago?"

"Gosh that was fast," Paul stated taking it in, "I mean I only got them from their teen years on but that went fast I mean Percy's what 25 almost 26 and the girls just turned 24."

"Time flies." I agreed grabbing his free hand and resting our intertwined hands on the consul.

We pulled up to a new england style white house that Percy and Annabeth had rented for the week. I crawled out of the car along with Paul and went to the front door knocking on the black wood door.

The door flew open to reveal Annabeth. She had a big smile on her face.

"I'm so happy you came!" She exclaimed trowing her arms around us giving us each a hug. "Come inside everyones on the patio around the pool." She said ushering us inside.

The house they had rented wasn't huge but probably had about 3 bedrooms. It was decorated to a black, white, blue, and green color pallet, everything having to do with the ocean.

"So Percy picked this place then." I said smiling.

Annabeth laughed "That obvious huh?"

She lead us through the house to the back patio. She was bare foot with an indigo blue maxi dress on with white stripes and a cut out back. She had a long red necklace on and her wedding rings sparkled in the sun when we walked onto the patio.

All of the kids, were all sitting around a table under an umbrella that had an assortment of appetizers placed around.

So I guess they really aren't kids anymore considering their in their mid 20s but don't make me feel old and tell me that.

Percy was sitting at the head of the table farthest from me with an empty seat next to him, which where I assumed Annabeth had been sitting.

"hi Mom, Paul." Percy said getting up from his chair to hug us, "How are you?"

"Good I'm just so glad to see you." I told him.

"Here sit down and eat everyone brought some great food." Percy said gesturing to the table.

Paul and I took the two seats between Chris and Spencer. Around the table it went me, Paul, Spencer (Who was sitting at the head of the table opposite of Percy) Kat across from Paul, then Sadria across from me, She was next to Connor, then it went Max, Carter, Annabeth, Percy, Nico, Thalia, Clarisse, Chris then back to me.

grabbed one of the paper plates with a Hawaiian flower on it and loaded up on artichoke dip and crackers. Percy went inside with Max and came back out with pitchers of margaritas and John Dalys. I poured myself a big glass after that long car ride.

We all sat around the table catching up on everyone's lives. Annabeth, Carter, and Thalia had all gone inside to get the pasta salad and cold cuts Carter had bought.

They came back out with the food and we all dug in.

"So guys," Nico said between bites, "What did you get each other for your anniversary?"

Percy smiled, "Annabeth go first what did you get me?"

Annabeth took a sip of her John Daly "You see we weren't going to get each other any presents but we both know that wouldn't work out anyway so I got him a divers watch and a life proof case for his iPhone so we don't have to buy an iPhone every time Percy decides to make a spontaneous swim." Annabeth said smiling reprimanding Percy.

"Come on guys that only happened once." Percy complained.

"Twice." Everyone at the table responded having heard the story before.

"What did you get Annabeth?" Carter asked Percy.

Max cracked a smile and Nico started laughing.

I looked at the two confused.

"Well I got her a pair of diamond earrings." Percy said and Annabeth put her hair behind her ears to show off the show stopping diamond studs.

"OMG Annabeth those are gorgeous!" Carter said leaning over to get a closer look.

"Annnnnnd" Nico prodded.

"Um and" Percy said rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

He got up out of his chair. "You see mom I'm not sure how your going to take this," He said taking off his shirt.

Hs trident tattoo lay visible on his chest for all to see but new ink was on his collar bone in black swirling letters Annabeth was written.

"Yea so I got this." Percy said.

"For the record I never asked for this." Annabeth said informing us.

"I like it honey." I said

I got a whole bunch of shocked stares across the table.

"Really?" He asked, "you aren't upset."

"Nah nothing you can do now would shock me." I said shrugging

"Okay good I was hoping you wouldn't freak out." Percy said breathing sigh of relief.

"Just no more tattoos promise me for a while." I told him.

"Pinky promise." He said smiling.
