Annabeth's POV:

I woke up to the beautiful sound of my alarm clock. It was Monday morning. I quickly took a shower and threw on a black pencil skirt going down from above my belly button to a little below my knees, a white short sleeved button down blouse, black pumps, a simple neckless with an A on it, and my hair in a middle ponytail.

Since Miranda's school starts at 8:00 and I go to work at 8:20, and it was only 7:00, I decided to cook her favorite, pancakes. Once I had our food fixed and on the table, I decided to go and wake her up.

"Miranda," I said gently shaking her.

"Do I have to wake up?" she murmured into her pillow.

"Yes, you do. You have school today. Bryson and Emily will be there." I said. She shot up at the sound of her two best friends' names.

"That's more like it." I said.

She eventually picked a purple shirt with a flower on it and a purple floral ruffled skirt, along with purple sandals. Purple was the other color she was obsessed with besides any shade of blue or green.

We ate our pancakes, and I decided it was time to fix her tangled, black, elbow-length hair.

"How do you want it?" I asked. Sometimes, when it comes to her hair, you'd swear she was a daughter of Aphrodite.

"Mmm… I want it in pigtails." She said.

"High, low, braided high, or braided low?" I asked.

"Regular high, with purple ponytail holders." She said.

I started to brush and fix her straight hair.

I walked into Starbucks, holding Mira's hand.

I got in line, and patiently waited. I had to use the restroom soo bad right now!

When I ordered my coffee, the cashier said it should be ready in a few minutes. I brought Miranda to a table and out her there.

"Sit right here." I said. "I will be right back. Don't talk to anyone and don't move from this spot until I get back from the restroom." I said.

She nodded her head, and I basically ran to the restroom.

Miranda's POV:

Mommy told me to sit right here, not talk to anyone, and not move an inch. Ha! Like I was going to do that. She always called me Seaweed Brain 2 when I did things that I acted like my father for. I guess my Daddy was fun.

A man about my mommy's age walked into Starbucks. Something about him seemed to make me drawn to him. He was tall and strong, and had Green eyes like mine, and had black hair like mine. He winked at me and waved at me.

I got up from my seat and went exploring around the store. When I was about to go and pull some lady's scarf and run back to my seat, the man came up to me.

"Hi." I said. I was going to play it dumb. I know about kidnappers. My mommy gave me a knife that I always hide in my messenger bag just in case I need it. It is half Celebrity* Bronze and have steel. My mommy taught me how to use it.

"Hey." He said. He had a pretty voice. "What are you doing away from your parents. I bet your mommy or daddy is looking for you."

"Just between you and me," I whispered in his ear. "My mommy's in the restroom and I am supposed to be listening to her, sitting in my seat."

"Well, where is your father?" he asked. I decided I could trust this man.

"You tell me." I said, crossing my arms.

"Oh, I'm sor-,"

"It's ok. I've never met him before. I'd like to one day, but Mommy says he doesn't know about me."

"I know the feeling." He said.

"I'm Percy. What's your name?"

"Miranda. My mommy and my friends call me Mira sometimes, though."

"Oh."

"I'm going to need to go sit at my table again, though. My mommy is going to catch me, and she won't let me feed the fishies by myself, and she is going to spank me."

Percy chuckled.

"How about I come sit at your table with you?" he asked.

"Okay, but you're getting the spanking if my mommy finds out."

"Okay." He said.

Just as we were sitting at the table, I saw my mommy coming back with her coffee in her hands, on her phone. Her eyes widened as she saw Percy.

"Look, Mommy," I said. "I made a new friend. But he was the one who wanted to talk to me first, so if anyone gets a spanking and not being able to feed the fishies by yourself, it's him." I said, pointing at him.

She looked furious, but I could tell it was taking all her willpower not to lash out on my in Starbucks.

"Miranda Marie-," she usually says my last name when I'm in trouble. She sounded like she didn't want to say it.

"Hello, Annabeth." Percy said, uneasily.

"Percy."

"You two know each other?" I asked.

They both nodded.

"Come on, Miranda. You're going to be late for school and I am going to be late for work." She said, taking my hand and leaving. Something was going on here.

Percy's POV:

After Annabeth and her daughter, Miranda, walked out, I got my coffee. She'd cheated on me. That's why she'd broken up with me when we were 18. I feel so betrayed.

Okay, so let me set you straight. Annabeth is an architect. Percy is a marine biologist. Annabeth got pregnant for Miranda at 18, causing Annabeth to finish college online. Miranda was born 2 months early and was premature. Also, Annabeth only looked 3 months pregnant when she was pregnant for Miranda so it was kind of hard to tell she was pregnant, and she stayed small. Percy thought that Annabeth broke up with him because she was tired of him, while the truth is Athena and Poseidon didn't want him to know he had a daughter, and also wanted him to fulfill his dreams (well Athena didn't really care but Poseidon did, she just didn't want Annabeth and Percy together). So, Percy thinks Annabeth broke up with him because she cheated and got pregnant, even tho percy rlly is a seaweed brain and cant figure out she is for him and resembles him. Dun, dun, dun, dunnnnn! Catch you guys later! Hope you enjoyed.
