It has been a while since I've actually talked to Damon and this would be the first time that I would see where he lives. Knowing that he has quite an impressive job himself- a very famous architect- his house would be almost as big as Thalia's. And Thalia and Jason's mansion is pretty big.

Anyways, ever since I met the uncle, I have been very interested in his life in general. Since his profession was what I wanted to be in the future, I asked him for tips and inspiration. He helped me, of course, saying that I would be better than him someday because my imagination was better and my mind was built for creativity. I guess I have always been closer to Percy's family than my own.

When Seaweed Brain stopped at a large gate, I knew that we were there. I wasn't really surprised when I saw the million dollar mansion standing a good one and a half kilometers away from the entrance and it held one of the most impressive architectures I have ever seen in a house. It was the first time that I truly learned to appreciate the famous designer of buildings.

Damon greeted us when we all stepped out of the RV, a huge smile on his face and his arms wide open in welcome. Percy hugged his uncle tightly and allowed us to say hello to him before we entered the mansion. Only to be greeted by a hyperactive three year old.

The boy came running over to my boyfriend the moment he saw him, laughing when he in turn picked him up easily. "Hi Jesse." Percy greeted, a look on his face reserved only for little kids. "How are you?"

"Who's he?" I asked, curious. Never in my entire life have I seen that boy before today.

The man who is especially good with children just placed a kiss on my forehead. "This, my dear Annabeth, is Damon's son- Jesse. I met him first when uncle dropped off at our house to give us Mrs. O' Leary. He was hiding behind the couch so you didn't see him and I didn't even realize that he was there until he sneaked up on me."

Oh, I guess that explained a lot. "Percy, come and play with me!" the little boy exclaimed, "Please!"

That was when I realized that the man I love was a sucker for a child's puppy dog faces. "Okay, okay. Come on, in the backyard. We can play with Quintus and Perdix." The boy squealed in agreement before running towards the glass door, opening it easily and releasing two beagles- one deep brown with white spots and the other the same color but with black spots instead.

"And again, my own son took my nephew away from me." Damon shook his head in disappointment before leading us to the living room.

Since Percy wasn't here to explain, I had to do it for him. I know as much information as he did so it wasn't really a problem. I opened my mouth to talk but the owner of the mansion help up his hand to stop me. "He told me everything before you went here so I had the rooms prepared in advance. He only told me to have eight but I was trying to think of how you're all going to fit. But, I realized that you're all sharing with somebody except for one. I think you already have your room assignments then."

It was annoying how I was the only one listening to all of this. The others were too out of it, either distracted or lost in thought. Apparently, I had to be the adult. "Yeah. We pair up by couple." Damon raised an eyebrow at this and I blushed to a deep shade of red. "I promise we're going to behave." I swore, still embarrassed.

"Uh-huh" He nodded slowly, very amused. "I'll trust you with that. And it's great to have you, all of you, here. It's been a very long time."

There was nothing much to do than to agree. It has been a long time since we've had a proper conversation and this might be the only time I could get help in my blueprints.

But that could wait.

I left my friends in the living room and headed to the beautiful backyard, where I could see the puppies chasing my boyfriend and Jesse. It was a very nice sight but I couldn't help but wonder what Bella and Mrs. O' Leary would be doing right now. Knowing the little girl, she might as well be eating lunch with her parents while the dog was chasing butterflies in the garden again.

Then, I remembered the dream- the most recent and most important dream that until now I can remember. It determines my future and who I am going to end up with. It was absolutely perfect, how I will never lose the man I love for anything. We're going to start such a wonderful little family together. Juliet, my Juliet. She was everything I wanted in my baby. She was so much better than I imagined she would be. And I really hope that it would come true.

It took a while for me to finally convince Percy to go inside and help me bring our things upstairs. But the job was eventually done. And we spent some quality time with the adorable little boy that adored my boyfriend just like any other child in the world. "Jesse, where's your mommy?" I heard him ask, looking at the child expectantly.

"Mommy's working in her office. She said she'll be done by lunchtime." Wow, I never knew that a boy his age can already talk like that.

"Mom?" I curiously turned to Seaweed Brain and he just shook his head, smiling.

He took my hand in his and pressed it to his lips. "Jane. She works in Damon's architecture firm as his secretary. Of course, they kept their relationship there strictly professional but outside the walls, they are very much together."

"So it's not a marriage heading for divorce then?"

Percy stared at me as if it was the most adorable thing I have ever said to him. I rolled my eyes. "Very far from divorce. I met her already and she is a very nice lady. You'll like her."

True enough, whatever Jesse said was true. When we headed downstairs for lunch, I saw a beautiful woman with deep blue eyes and cream colored skin, her dirty blonde hair sweeping through her shoulders. As of the moment, she was wearing a simple blue summer dress with her hair up in a high ponytail, making look as if she was eighteen. But Percy informed me that she was in her late twenties.

It wasn't long before she saw us standing by the doorway, me slightly behind my boyfriend because I was thinking of her as some evil witch in disguise. But Damon seemed to love her and he was happy with her. And Damon is a good man. "Hello Percy," she greeted, striding over to hug us both. "And you must be Annabeth." She smiled kindly.

"Mrs. Jackson." I find it very hard to see this woman as another person. She just reminds me all too much of Sally.

"No, no." she waved the formalities away. "You can call me Jane. I think the title Mrs. Jackson belongs to Percy's mother."

I heard my boyfriend laugh from behind me. "It's good to see you again, Jane. It's been a very long time." He said, directing us again to the dining table.

The woman chuckled, "Still quite the gentleman, are we Percy?" She answered instead, causing the rest of the table to laugh. I was already starting to like this woman. She was very different to the other rich mothers that I met before. She was like Sally, kind and well-mannered.

It didn't take long for us all to catch-up. I told them our experiences in Miami and the campsite and St. Louis and the twins told jokes. Percy disappeared with Jesse again but I knew that they were outside again playing with the dogs. I guess while we were here, it was best to entertain both the parents and the children.

I was in the middle of talking about Paige when the door burst open to a teenage girl wearing clothes that only a slut like Rachel would wear. The sight filled me with a thousand questions. Why would a girl like her be in such a peaceful home like this? Percy didn't mention anything about Damon having a daughter.

When the girl was safely out of earshot, I turned to the uncle for answers. He sighs and raises his hands in defeat. "She's my goddaughter." He explained. "Her parents lost all their money and they begged me to take her in until they get back on their feet again. Of course, I give them a few thousand dollars every month but I guess living this life spoiled her. Jane tried to talk to her about it but she wouldn't listen. So, I just try to keep Jesse away from her as much as possible."

"Damon!" Someone screamed from upstairs. Suddenly, the same girl stampeded down the stairs and right to the living room. And only then were we visible to her eyes. "What are they doing here?" she pointed accusingly to me and my friends. Thankfully, Seaweed Brain heard the commotion and went to see what was happening, with Jesse in his arms.

"They came to stay for a few days, V." Damon answered warily, "And I expect only proper behavior from you."

She just scoffed, looking at her nails. "I don't take orders from you. You're not my father." Before anyone else could say another word, she was out of sight in a blur of pink.

"What's her name?" I asked, moving so Percy could sit beside me.

Jane, seeing her husband's distress, took the opportunity to talk for him. "She's Vanessa Reed, the queen of the spoiled brats." An evil fire burned through Jane's eyes and I grew to like the mother more than I already do.

"Don't tell me we have to deal with her too! I don't think I can handle another girl flirting with my boyfriend." Piper said in exasperation, shaking her head.

But Damon spoke again, "You shouldn't worry about her. She's perfectly harmless. Her bark is so much worse than her bite. She won't do anything to you and I asked her best friend, Violet, to keep her in their place for a while. Unlike her, Vi is a very good person."

"So that's it then? I won't be seeing her again for the entire time I'm here?" I asked hopefully, a small smile creeping through my features.

The parents nodded. "Well then, why don't you kids have fun? The mansion is yours."
