It's Mother's Day! To any Mother reading this fic of mine Happy Mother's Day!
You could guess this is a special chapter for the occasion so without further ado...
It was about midnight.
I couldn't sleep. My poor baby boy is still missing.
I was in the kitchen.
It's been so long but I never lost hope.
This is Percy. He's done incredible things that wouldn't have been possible. I know I should trust him to take care of himself but When Annabeth informed me that he may not even remember anything, It got me more worried than before.
I was sitting down to my third cup of blue coffee. I just couldn't get some shut eye.
"Percy..." I whispered.
"Sally?" Paul my fiance asked.
He was just as worried as I am. Even if he was just new to this world of Mythology he was able to somewhat cope.
"Sally, I know you're worried but you need to rest. You haven't been sleeping well at all." He said entering the kitchen and grabbing a chair to sit beside me.
"I just..." I didn't really understand my feelings.
I didn't care. I just wanted Percy back. Paul seemed to understand. He noticed her coffee mug empty.
"I'll make you some more?"
"Yes please."
I want to keep him under a mother's protection. I know he would be able to overcome this but it doesn't help my nerves.
I sometimes silently pray to his Father to keep our son safe from anything. It's out of my power to help Percy.
Suddenly the phone rang.
I stood up and went to look at the caller ID on the phone. I didn't recognize the number.
Even the area code wasn't recognizable, I just sat back down and listened to it ring.
Shortly after the ringing stopped, a long beep sounded, indicating that the caller had left a message.
That got me curious.
I got up to the phone, gingerly picking it up and putting it to my ear.
I pressed the voice mail button.
It beeped and relayed the words, "You have one new message. To listen, press one—"
I pressed one , cutting off the recording.
The voice mail played.
"Mom."
My eyes widened at the sound of the voice on the other end.
I know that voice anywhere. I tightly gripped the phone
Percy. My son. My baby boy.
Fearful relief washed over me.
He was alive, I knew he was. But what has happened to him?
I listened carefully.
"Hey, I'm alive. Hera put me to sleep for a while—"
This was Hera's doing?
I hardly remembered Hera being mentioned along with Jason's name when Annabeth and I talked.
It didn't surprise me so much; I knew the gods had peculiar ways of going about things.
I have met Poseidon.
"—and then she took my memory and…"
Percy's voice trailed off in thought.
I could just imagine him thinking very hard, trying to piece together the complicated story in a way that it would make sense and wouldn't sound to dangerous for my sake.
I knew my boy all to well.
After a long pause, he gave up.
I weakly chuckled.
"Anyway, I'm okay. I'm sorry."
I sighed, but smiled a sad smile.
He didn't need to apologize; I could never be upset with him.
I'm overjoyed to know he was fine.
"I'm on a quest—"
His voice stopped at that sentence.
Percy probably thought I'd start panicking.
I would've had but I caught my self.
Panicking wouldn't help matters and I knew it.
"I'll make it home. I promise."
He said it with certainty.
Percy never goes back on a promise.
It took me all she had to not break down and cry.
Percy, my sweet little boy, was being so brave and strong for my sake. For everyone's sake.
All I wanted to do is to be able to help him, to hold him like he when he was a little kid and tell him that it would be all right.
Despite that all, I knew it was impossible.
The last two words came out tenderly, almost child-like.
"Love you."
"I Love you, Percy," Sally whispered into the phone.
Knowing very well he couldn't hear her.
"End of messages."
The Phone was still tightly in my hands.
I was aware of Paul coming in with a new batch of Blue Coffee but I didn't move an inch.
I stared into open space.
A single tear escaped my eye and rolled down my cheek...
