Chapter 7 (3 ½ months)

2 months later

Annabeth was at her home with Reyna. The family had just finished dinner and it was the first time Reyna had seen Annabeth's house. Athena was businesswoman and her father studies historic things—Annabeth definitely wasn't poor. They sat on the couch watching television with her brothers and parents.

The woman turned to the man, "So it'll be pretty sunny here in San Francisco for America's birthday in a week."

"Yes, speaking of the 4th of July, we do have some large events coming up."

"Do we?"

"Yes," the man nodded. "Let's see, we have the beach side event being hosted."

Pictures of the venue showed up in the corner. "Oh, that one's beautiful," Reyna commented. "We should go to one of these." More pictures flashed on screen of different events.

"Then we have the annual Olympian event," the man continued.

"Oh, that one's nice," Annabeth smiled lightly.

"Yes," the woman agreed, "But this one's only by invitation, isn't it?"

"Ah, yes it is," the man said. "Not only is it a fourth of July celebration but it is also the only time of the year the Olympian family gets together."

The woman continued, "It includes Poseidon Olympian, Hades, Zeus and their extended family—er, Triton Olympian, Hercules Olympian, Dionysius, Artemis, Apollo, Hera, Thalia and Jason Grace, Nico and Bianca di Angelo, Hazel Levesque, Percy Jackson—"

The TV flashed off. Everyone's head turned towards Annabeth's mother. Well, maybe just Annabeth's and Reyna's. Her brothers were whispering to each other and her father was invested in his newspaper. Athena simply shrugged, "Television isn't good for you. And it's Friday. Besides, we have to figure out what we're doing for the 4th of July."

Annabeth raised an eyebrow in suspicion but didn't say anything. "We can buy fireworks," Athena continued.

Matthew jumped up, "Yeah!"

Bobby nodded from his spot on the ground. "Can we get those ones that are red and shoot up into the air?"

Matthew nodded eagerly.

"Sure," Athena agreed. The truth was, Annabeth had been to the Olympian family reunion twice with Percy. Athena didn't want Annabeth to have any idea of going, even if it was by invitation. Even a picture could trigger a memory Athena didn't need to happen. But Athena was slowly starting to realize something—keeping Annabeth from finding out would be harder then she thought.

Percy got off the plane with Olivia and his carry-ons with his cousins and friends behind him as they went to go collect their luggage. They were in San Francisco. They headed inside of the airport and collected their luggage. A long white limo was waiting for them outside of the airport. They got inside and closed the door quickly while the driver loaded their luggage. They may not be celebrities but they still wanted to avoid the paparazzi as much as possible. Those who had decided to go on the trip was basically the usual—Percy, Thalia, Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel, Bianca, Nico and Olivia. Frank didn't come because Hazel wasn't speaking to him. She refused to until she got a hold of her emotions.

Percy relaxed once he was in the car, "So…a week alone with my dad, his wife, his son, Olivia and me. That's just…great."

"It could be worse," Leo shrugged as he sipped his soda.

"No it couldn't," Percy argued. "Amphitrite hates me because she thinks I am the product of her husband being unfaithful."

Piper raised an eyebrow, "But…you are."

"No, I'm not," Percy insisted. "They were in the process of getting a divorce then 7 months later Amphitrite is like 'oh, let's get back together Poseidy, I love you.' And it's been a rocky relationship from there."

Bianca sighed, "At least you have Olivia."

"Yeah," Percy said crossing his arms, "But she can only gurgle and barely, just barely clap."

"Wait, no Percy. We're all going to the beach house, remember?" Jason said. "You're not going to Poseidon's house."

Percy nodded, "Right."

"Hey, speaking of Olivia, what are you thinking of putting her in?" Bianca asked.

"Like…a class?"

Bianca nodded.

Percy shook his head, "I don't know."

Thalia suddenly sat up and looked up from her phone. "I remember that Olivia's mother said she wanted her daughter to win three gold medals at the Olympics."

Percy was suddenly interested. "Really?"

Hazel nodded, "Yup. Three sports. What was it again? I know one was swimming."

"One was skating," Nico added.

"And the other was gymnastics," Piper finished.

"Two summer sports and a winter sport?" Percy asked.

The rest of them nodded. "She said she didn't want them all to be one season," Hazel explained. "So she could 'broaden her horizon.'"

"But don't take it too seriously, Percy," Jason added. "I'm pretty sure she was joking."

Percy shrugged.

After a few more minutes of silence and Olivia had fallen asleep Percy spoke again. "Tell me about her."

"Olivia's mom?" Thalia clarified.

Percy nodded, "What did she look like?"

"We-we can't tell you much Percy. We're not allowed to," Piper stammered.

"Well what can you tell me?"

"That Olivia's eyes match her mom's except for the swirls of green," Bianca blurted.

Leo nodded, "And she could pack a punch."

"She was smart," Hazel added. "She wanted to know everything."

Jason grinned, "And she would somehow find out everything."

Thalia shook her head and grinned, "You couldn't keep a secret from that girl."

"And she was brave," Nico shrugged.

Bianca nodded, "She had a fiery personality. And she was our friend."

"What else?" Percy demanded.

"You were engaged," Piper explained. "After dating for a few years. And then she got pregnant and about 3/4 through the pregnancy, she and her mom got into a huge fight. And she got depressed and barely ate or talked. And that's why Olivia's small."

"That's all we can tell," Thalia said as the car slowed down. They were here. But all Percy could think about was the stormy grey eyes on her daughter on a grown woman.

Hey guys, thanks for all the reviews, follows, favourites, everything! I thought I'd reward you with some sneak peaks:

He sighed, "What are you doing anyways?"

Annabeth nodded. "I didn't mean to look, I was just looking for the bathroom."

The man pointed, "Down there."
