Hey please review. If i don't get any, then i will stop writing it. I really don't want to do that. Please Review

"Annabeth, we need to go!" I heard Percy yell from outside the door.

I was almost done getting ready. Percy warned me that we needed to dress up for dinner. I didn't know how dressy, but I had only one dress. Obviously, that's the dress I was going to wear. The next problem was shoes. I felt bad, but I borrowed a pair that belonged to Silena. She told me before the war to give her clothes to me, Clarisse, and Katie. I took most of her clothes since she was closest to my size. I took a pair of bright red heels that matched my black spaghetti strap dress that Silena bought me before the war. She thought that when we would win the war Percy would finally ask me out, and I needed something to wear.

I just finished up my make-up that Katie had wrestled me into. I thought that I looked ridiculous, but she liked her work. She was the most girly of my friends since Silena was killed.

When I strolled out the door, Percy's jaw dropped. He had never seen me in something like this. It was totally different from anything that I would wear. Percy didn't look too bad himself. He had on a white button down with a black sports coat and jeans. He tried to comb his hair, but I liked it messier. I rubbed my fingers through his hair, trying to mess it up to the way I like it. I succeeded. I just didn't know if Sally and Paul would like it.

Percy grabbed my hand tightly. We walked out to his car that Poseidon had dropped off earlier that day. It was Paul's prius that Blackjack had ruined at the beginning of the war. We dang songs as Percy continued driving along. I didn't expect Percy to sing with me. I thought he was just going to laugh at my terrible singing. We both laughed at both of our singing.

The good thing about dating your best friend is that you're already past the awkward stage in your relationship. We knew everything about each other. It wasn't awkward. It was nice.

Once we got into the city, Percy stopped singing. The traffic wasn't too bad, but he obviously wanted to be safe. I kept on singing, though. Percy, as I expected, just laughed. We soon met up with Sally and Paul at some restaurant. My dyslexia was acting up, so I couldn't read it. I doubt Percy could read it, either.

"Sally!" I called out as soon as I saw her sitting down at a booth.

"Annabeth? What are you doing here? You look amazing!" Sally shouted back as we hugged.

"Percy invited me. I hope you don't mind!" I blushed as we sat down on the other side.

"How could we be mad at the kid who saved the world?" Paul asked.

"You can't!" Percy joked.

"Annabeth, how have you been? How are you feeling? I know you saved Percy's life. Thank you!" Sally added.

I laughed, "I'm fine. I'm all healed up. Chiron's given us the week off to do whatever we want. I plan on spending every minute with my seaweed brain." I replied as I put my hand on Percy's thigh.

He blushed really hard. Because he blushed, I blushed.

"Wait, I know you two are friends, but-"Paul tried to ask.

"Oh my gods! You two are dating!" Sally shouted a little too loudly.

We both blushed.

Percy answered, "I asked her out yesterday."

"He kissed me after the war. Our fellow campers threw us into the water and we kissed some more in an air bubble. The next morning, he asked me out." I explained further. I don't know why I told them the whole story, I just did. It felt right.

"That's so adorable!" Sally sighed.

The waiter came over. Luckily, he was old. Campers have always told me stories about their first dates when the waiter/waitress would hit on the other person or them. I didn't want to take that chance.

We ordered our drinks and our meals at once so we wouldn't have to wait as long. I scooted closer to Percy the longer the dinner went on. We talked about school coming up. My new boarding school was a reoccurring topic. It wasn't too far away from where Percy lives; I would get to see him on weekends when I wasn't at Olympus.

"So, Mom, what did you want to talk about?" Percy asked as he started on his fish.

"Well, Paul and I were thinking about maybe starting a family together." Sally told us as she dug into her pasta.

"Are you pregnant?" Percy asked in shock. He almost did a spit take.

"No, no, I am not pregnant. Not yet," Sally replied.

"That's great, Sally!" I cheered.

"You-you're starting a-a family?" Percy stumbled out.

"Percy, you will be part of this family, for sure. We just mean that we are going to try to have another kid, that's all." Paul explained to him.

"I get that, It's just-"He trailed off in my eyes.

Obviously, he was thinking about my brothers. Bobby and Matthew, when they were born, my life was turned upside down. I thought again. Without them, I probably wouldn't have been best friends with Percy. We wouldn't have gone on that quest. I wouldn't be sitting here, with him, as boyfriend and girlfriend.

"I think it's great that you want to have kids! Percy will be a wonderful big brother!" I praised despite Percy's confused glares.

"Thank you, Annabeth," Sally smiled.

"Yeah, it's great, Mom. I'm happy for you two." Percy muttered.

After the news, Percy didn't talk quite as much. He was quieter. A few times, though, we would invite him into the conversation, only to become silent again. I felt bad for him. I shouldn't have told him stories about my demon brothers because those only made him feel like he would turn out like I did. That made me feel horrible.

Dinner ended soon after that big announcement. Percy wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. He practically dragged me out of the restaurant. We started to drive to a movie theater down the street. The movie wasn't a new one. It was a newer version of Hercules. I had already seen it with my dad. It was stupid how wrong it was.

Percy wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled up next to him. My head fit perfectly on his chest. When everybody else in the theater screamed, we laughed. Both of us had faced scarier things than that. Percy has fought Kronos. What can be scarier than that?

"Are you okay, Percy?" I asked him as we sat down in the car.

"I just can't believe my mom's trying to have a baby. I mean, I remember what you've told me about your family after Bobby and Matthew were born." Percy explained.

"You have me. I didn't have anybody when they were born. Your mom loves you more than my dad loved me. Paul loves you. My stepmom didn't. You aren't seven." I tried to get him to see reason.

"I could hurt him. You've seen me when I get mad. Sometimes, I just can't control my powers. Do you remember two years ago when I lost control and a made a mini hurricane? I do."

"Percy, I won't let you do anything to them. Sally and Paul won't let you do anything to them. I will always be five minutes away when you need me."

"I know that."

"You're going to be a great big brother! Trust me! How about we fly out to San Francisco one weekend and babysit Bobby and Matthew? I could prove to you how awesome you would be at being a big brother!" I suggested.

"Since when did you like your brothers?" He asked me.

"Do you wanna do it or not? We could get some alone time when they go to sleep," I tried to say it seductively.

Percy gave in, "When will we do it?"

"I could probably set it up for this weekend. So, two days?' I guessed.

He kissed me, "Okay, I'll do it."

"Good! You're going to be an excellent brother!"

We started to drive back to camp. We didn't sing. We talked. Well, I called my dad to set up the babysitting gig. He agreed. Then, we talked about all of the stuff that we needed to do. We needed to pack and get Blackjack. That doesn't even cover what we'll have to tell Chiron and Sally. Percy called Sally to ask, and she said yes. He didn't have to ask because he was at summer camp and Chiron is responsible for Percy. It doesn't hurt to ask.

After that, I told him what to pack for the trip. I didn't think it would be cold, since it was August. I already had some clothes there. I just needed a few more shirts and shorts. It wasn't a lot that I needed. Percy needed a bunch of stuff. First, he needed stuff just for the weekend. Then there's a chance of us going out or hanging out with people. By people, I mean the few friends I do have there. I have one friend who lives there.

When we got back to camp, Percy walked me to my cabin. His fingers intertwined with mine. As soon as we got to my cabin, we stopped and sat on the front steps.

"Thanks for tonight. The movie was good," I whispered in his ear as I leaned my head down on his chest.

He wrapped his arm around my shoulders, "Don't lie. The movie was terrible!"

"Yeah, it was." I laughed. "It was fun, though."

"Yeah, I agree with you on that."

"I like our dates! They're entertaining! Maybe next time, we should go out to dinner alone."

"I like that idea."

I leaned in and he met me halfway. Before we could even get in a good kiss, Malcom opened up the door. I stood up as fast as lightning. Percy turned around and looked very nervous as he stood up. I held Percy's hand.

"Malcom, you didn't have to wait up." I told him.

"I know, but I promised your dad that I would. Remember?" Malcom stated while glaring at Percy.

"Hey, Malcom, how's it going?" Percy asked nervously.

"Annabeth, maybe you should get inside. That might be best," Malcom advised.

I realized that arguing wasn't going to solve anything, "Okay, good night Percy." I kissed him one last time that night and went into my cabin.

I couldn't hear them talking, but I could tell that Malcom was doing most of the talking. I glanced out the window to get a look at what was going on. Percy was saying something, but I couldn't tell what he was saying. He kept on nodding or shaking his head. I understood that he was answering questions. I wanted to know what they were.

When Malcom came in, I bombarded him. "What did you say to him?"

"Nothing you need to know about. It's alright." He answered as he went to his bed.

"Did you scare him off?"

"No, he'll come right back to you. I just asked him a few questions."

I sat down on his bed, "And I wanna know what those questions were! Come on, Malcom, you have to tell me!"

"Annabeth, it's alright. You don't need to know."

"Malcom, did you ask him about sex? Cause I don't feel comfortable about you talking to my boyfriend about that!"

He laughed, "Whatever I did talk to him about, it's his choice to tell you. It's not my decision! If it was, I still wouldn't tell you. Seeing as though you two are so close, I highly doubt that he won't tell you."

"Please tell me! If you already know that he's going to tell you, then why won't you tell me yourself?"

"Percy will tell you. Ask him about it!"

I almost got up and walked out of the cabin to him. I wanted to. Really, I did. The only problem was that I didn't want to get killed by the harpies. Odds are they wouldn't hurt me. I mean, I did just save Olympus, not to mention the world.

My mind wouldn't shut up as I tried to go to sleep. It kept on thinking about the night. I was reliving it. After reliving it once, I thought about the war. That was torture, especially when I saw Luke dying again.

Instead of going to Percy, I went somewhere else. I decided to go to the place that I loved. I loved it mainly because of Percy. Still, the beach was a really good place to be. I just wanted the peace and quiet. I could step into the ocean and the harpies couldn't touch me. That would be fine.

I sat there, waiting. I looked out into the blue waves. The moon reflected off the ocean in ripples. It looked peaceful. Although, the ocean isn't peaceful, I wanted it to be.

"Annabeth?" A familiar voice called out from the ocean.

It was then when I noticed a figure swimming towards the beach. There was only one person that would be swimming this late at night. "Percy?"

Sure enough, it was Percy. It wouldn't be anybody else. I smiled as I watched him swim into the shore. He sat next to me and air dried quickly.

"What are you doing here? It's so late!" He said.

"Thinking. I couldn't sleep. What about you?" I asked.

"I was talking to my dad. He sent me a message saying that he wanted to talk to me about you. He's okay with everything. Malcom, on the other hand…" Percy trailed off.

"What did Malcom say to you?"

"He was just giving me the father lecture thing. You know, don't have sex, but if you do use protection. If I hurt you, then I better run. Stuff like that."

"He did? Oh, Percy, I'm so sorry. I didn't ask him to do that. It was all him."

Percy laughed, "It's fine. It was actually funny. Malcom was kind of nervous. He looked awkward."

"I'm sure it was. Percy, I asked him not to!"

"It's okay. I'm pretty sure it was more awkward for him than it was for me."

I snuggled up to him, "Thanks, seaweed brain."

"How long have you been out here?"

"An hour or so. It really hasn't been that long. I just couldn't sleep."

"What were you dreaming about?" He asked as his lips brushed by my head.

"The war. Mostly when Luke died and the end. It was really upsetting!" I almost cried.

Percy kissed my head, "I'm so sorry. I wish you didn't have to go through all that."

"Hey, it's alright. I mean, I have you. That's all I need. Percy, I'm okay now."

"I still wish you didn't have to go through any of that!"I looked up at him, and he continued, "I wish neither of us had to go through it. It should've been in years. Either that or years before us."

"If it wasn't during our time, then it could be in our kids' time."

"Our kids?" Percy asked.

I laughed, "That's not what I meant. I meant like both of us are going to have kids, well, you're not going to actually have kids, but I am, and I mean-"

He cut me off, "I'm just kidding, wise girl. I know what you mean."

"You scared me!"

"Don't I always do that?" He asked me.

"Yes, you do. That's the one thing I hate about you!"

"There's only one?"

"Yeah, did you expect more?"

"No, I was just wondering how many things you hated about me.

"I'm sure there must be a dozen things you don't like about me. Tell me some."

"Annabeth, I love everything about you. I hate nothing about you. Nothing!"

I leaned in to kiss him. We made out for a few minutes in the sand. I loved every minute of it.
