"Make a wish." Annabeth whispered to her son, gesturing to the quickly melting candles on the birthday cake, blue of course.
He closed his sea green eyes, deep in thought. After a few seconds, he seemed to have come to a decision, and he blew out all five of them. Leo wolf whistled, but was quickly shushed by Piper, who was taking a video of the occasion.
"What'd you wish for?" Leo asked him, and was elbowed by Piper
"That's the point of a wish, your not supposed to tell anyone." Gods, did this kid ever take after his mom
Annabeth got a knife from the kitchen, and began cutting the cake into smaller pieces, and passing them around.
She noticed how his jet black hair stood up slightly, just like Percy's once had. The familiar twinkle in his eyes, as if he were about to douse you in ice cold water.
"So, what did you wish for?" She asked him "I don't think it counts if you tell your mom."
"I wished Daddy was still here."
Annabeth felt her heart shatter into a million pieces.
