Part 12
"Come in!" Sally yelled as she put the last tray of blue chocolate-chip cookies into the oven. Her son and his best friend, Annabeth were coming from Camp Half-Blood to visit her. She didn't get to see her son during the summer, normally, but this summer had been anything but normal.
The door to the apartment opened, and Percy walked in, Annabeth right behind him.
"Hey Mom," he said, hugging her, and giving Sally a peck on the cheek. Annabeth hugged her as well, "Hello Mrs. Jackson."
Sally smiled, "How many times have I told you, Annabeth? Call me Sally."
Annabeth grinned, "Sorry, Sally."
Percy's eyes widened at the sight of his mother's cookies, sitting on a plate on the counter. He immediately swiped one, stuffing it into his mouth. Both girls rolled their eyes, "Percy," Annabeth sighed, "Is it that hard to use manners?"
Percy nodded, wiping the crumbs off his mouth.
"Yes, yes it is."
Sally laughed, "So, why did you guys stop by?"
Percy had been very vague, when he Iris Messaged her earlier that day, asking if he and Annabeth could come see her.
"Annabeth thinks she forgot her co- what's it called?"
"My compass, Seaweed Brain."
Percy looked confused, "Why do you need to tell what direction you're going?"
Annabeth rolled her eyes, "Not that kind of compass. The kind you use to construct designs."
"Oh. So, yeah. She thinks she forgot it last time she was here."
Sally nodded, "You did. It's in Percy's room, on the bookcase."
Annabeth smiled, and turned on her heel, "Come with me, Perce."
"'Kay!"
The two made their way back to her son's bedroom, Annabeth's hand gripping Percy's.
That's odd, Sally thought, They've never held hands before...
She shrugged it off, They probably just got closer after the war. That makes sense.
Turns out, she couldn't have been more wrong. After a couple of minutes, with no return from the two demigods, she decided to go check on them.
Sally couldn't help the grin that appeared on her face, when she walked into the room, to see Annabeth's arms around her son's neck, their foreheads against each other's, dopey smiles on their faces.
"Finally."
The couple jumped apart, when they heard Sally's voice.
"Mom, hey!"
"How long?" She asked, the grin still on her face. Her baby's first girlfriend...
Percy ducked his head, a blush creeping onto his cheeks, "Two weeks."
"Aw... You guys are too cute. So, how'd it happen?"
"Well, it was Percy's birthday. Tyson and I made him a cupcake, and I went to give it to him after dinner. We talked, I told him that I'd never make things easy for him, and I kissed him. Then we got dumped into the canoe lake," Annabeth said.
"Oh! I knew this was going to happen."
Percy raised an eyebrow, "You did?"
Sally nodded, "Everyone did. Except you guys."
"Everyone?"
"Yeah. Rachel, Chiron, Nico, Thalia, me... Rachel and I started planning your wedding a couple weeks back."
"Mom!"
A/N: Teehee. So, yeah. It's short. Again. Sorry. But- hey! It's something!
