This is a short chapter, but it's a spoiler, so really, what'd you expect. You guys asked for it, please welcome a look inside Piper and Percy's future.

There was a couple under the full moon, a sky full of twinkling stars, and a comfortable, peaceful silence. They were on a beach, in their bathing suit with hair damp and sand sticking to their backs from their recent swim. Nothing was going on between them except their soft breathing as they looked at the sky with their arms used as pillows and eyes lazily open.

"Percy?" the woman, Piper, asked, not looking over at him.

"Hm?" he replied lazily, turning his head to gaze at her with the limited amount of light they were giving. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were pulled into a small smile, her long eyelashes covering her ever-changing eyes every few seconds.

"Do you have any kids?" It wasn't suggesting anything, it was purely curious, but her stomach was knotted in worry that he did and he was happier than her- everyone was these days.

"Nope," he answered easily, shrugging. "I would like to, though, why?"

"I want a family," she blurted, her cheeks tinting a little more pink. "I want a husband and kids that I'll bring somewhere with me, and I'll wake up to. I mean, everyone else has kids and I've always wanted some, but I don't want to be the last one to have any."

Percy propped up on his left side, watching her intently, something stirring in him at the thought of a little girl looking exactly like Piper. But it churned painfully at the thought of her waking up with some guy. "Really?" he asked, his throat closing up as she smiled more and closed her eyes.

"Yeah. Maybe I'd move to a planet or maybe another galaxy since Chaos allows you to do, only if you're married and he approves of the place and everything. All the older and big guys are out there in the world and they still do their jobs. I could go places I never thought before and I would have a family to go with."

"What planet?" he whispered, his heart clutched in a fist. She couldn't leave Earth, she just couldn't. She would be leaving friends, memories, her home, him.

She shrugged. "I don't know. There's some nice ones out there and I'm sure that my husband would know a couple we could move to. Where we go will change what our house looks like, of course. I was a small one, more homey. Not like the ones I used to live in with no one there. I don't know, I'll have to talk to my husband eventually."

"Piper?" he asked, her humming her response, not looking at him. "Who are you planning on marrying?"

"I don't know," she replied slowly, a small frown curving her lips that Percy wanted to taste, to feel, to claim, really. "I haven't really met someone that I'd like to spend the rest of my life with, you know, that aren't good friends or something...Or maybe..."

"What?" His eyes searched her face for any indication of who it was. Fear was settling in his knotted stomach and it wasn't pleasant.

Piper blushed more, shifting in the sand to lay down on it fully and wave her hands in the air, forming a rainbow. "There's one guy," she whispered, her heart pounding. "But I'm pretty sure that he doesn't like me."

"Of course he does."

She shook her head. "No, I don't think so. A lot has happened between us and he's been in more relationships than I have. He has girls flocking to him, so why would he choose someone that wouldn't be around him much?"

"You could bring him with you, you know."

"Well, yeah, if everything works, he'll have to come with me everywhere, but...I don't know."

As she sighed, Percy felt an ounce of hatred settle on this guy. How could you not like her? Everyone liked her. Chaos, that was even worse. It was everyone, not just this one guy, but everyone liked her. Even Percy. If she's getting married and leaving soon, why not get at least one kiss in? Well, it's now or never. "Piper?" he asked softly, still propped up by an arm and looking over at her.

"Yeah?" she asked, finally turning her head to look at him.

He brushed the hair away from her face and stroked her cheek. "He's crazy for not liking you," he whispered as he smiled down at her.

She felt butterflies take refugee in her stomach from his touch. "You don't have any idea," she replied, wondering how dense he could really be.

"But," he leaned a little closer, tilting her chin up so that he would have a better angle. "I'm pretty sure I'm crazy for liking you, too."

Before she could reply, he kissed her softly and shortly before pulling away with a blush on his face and panic settling in his stomach as he looked at her wide eyes and pink face. His lips were tingling from her soft ones and his heart was jumping rope in his chest. "I-I'm sorry- I just- this guy- one kiss- I," he stammered, trying to come up with a reason for his actions.

She laughed and put her hands on his neck. "It was you, you know," she admitted as she sat up a little more, her face red and the butterflies on full speed now.

"Really?" His eyes were filled with hope and the fear was gone.

"Mhmm," she replied, smiling brightly at him.

"Well, Peacemaker," he joked, leaning down and threading his fingers through her hair. "You've got to be as crazy as I am."

She giggled, blushing as she lifted her head and their lips moved slowly and in sync this time, no one missing the little firework show behind their closed eyes.

Of course, when this time comes in the story, there'll be more at the end and maybe in the beginning, but this is what you asked for and I'm just delivering. It may be a little soon to be talking about marriage, but Piper was just curious on if everyone had kids before her- more in depth when we get there.

Well...We've got a long way to go, but I'm excited. Are you?
