Hi I'm back, I'm glad you all liked the last chapter, I think this story is going to come to an end in the next couple of chapters, but I op you have all enjoyed reading this story, I know I have enjoyed writing it! Anyway here is chapter 14.

Percy's pov:

25th December, Christmas, Saturday, 8.02am

I woke up with a sleeping Annabeth, laying on my chest I think I may of just woken her up though, oops.

"Merry Christmas Annabeth, I love you." I said, kissing her head.

"Merry Christmas Percy, I love you to, what time is it?" she asked stretching her arms, I quickly moved my head to look at the clock,

"8.02, wait isn't your mum, and brother coming at 8.30" I replied to her,

"Oh no seaweed brain, I forgot about, it, come on get up," She then dragged me up, with me complaining about it, of course.

We both quickly got dressed, and headed into the kitchen, we got greeted, by Bobby, Matthew, Annabeth's dad, and step mum, the twins.

Matthew, was the one to speak first, "Hey, can we open presents now," we all laughed at his, question, we all just shook our heads, now before anything else happens, I just want to tell you that both me and Annabeth had not told Annabeth's dad and step mum, about Annabeth's mum coming, they knew about Malcolm, and my mum and step dad coming, we actually had an idea about that, well more like Annabeth did, but Annabeth did, but anyway, Annabeth is going to pretend to get a phone call from her mum, asking if she can come over, and then she will, I guess that's the plan really, oh and Athena knows that Annabeth's dad and his family will be there, ok that's all.

We all got our breakfast, which was pancakes made by Annabeth of course. My mum and step dad said they would come at 10 or something, but she said to open our presents without them.

After breakfast, which I ate in a record of 34 seconds, it was now 8.21am and it was time for Annabeth to fake the phone call.

Annabeth's pov:

I said I was going to the bathroom, now obviously this plan has failed already, because I went the wrong way to the bathroom, before I noticed what I was doing I heard Percy shout, "Hey wise girl, bathrooms the other way." I could hear my brothers high five Percy, and laugh, I just shook my head, and headed back through the kitchen to get to the bathroom, I walked past Percy, and unfortunately for me, my shoe lace was untied, and I tripped, right on to Percy, great now I have something else he can tease me about, "Whoa wise girl, careful, I know that you love me and everything, but purposely falling over me is a bit much, don't you think," I just glared at him, and got up, I saw my dad, also glaring, I still hate him, but I'm trying, although its Malcolm I'm worried for, h was the one who took his at least least he said sorry to me, I hope he says sorry to Malcolm.

Finally I got to the bathroom, I waited, then pretended to talk to my mum on the phone, I realised it was 25 past so I burst out of the bathroom, and walked straight into the kitchen, "Hey my mum just called me when I was in the bathroom, and she asked if it was ok for her to come over, I said yes, so everyone please behave, especially you seaweed brain." I playfully slapped him on the arm.

"Hey, I'm always on my best behaviour, don't underestimate me wise girl." He then picked me up, and threw me on the couch, I heard my brothers and my step mum laugh, and glanced at my dad, and saw he was just glaring at his newspaper, I honestly hate him, I know I shouldn't because he is my dad, but everything he has done to Malcolm and me, I just cant forgive him, and I don't really want to.

'ding dong' that's what I suddenly heard, it was 8.30. I quickly got up, and straightened my grey dress, that matched my eyes, I opened the door, to find my mum, and brother Malcolm.

Now things with my mum have gotten a little better in the past months, but I still don't like her for leaving us like that, but at least she is trying unlike my dad. At least I stopped calling my mum Athena, I think she may of got a little bit upset when I called her that.

"Mum, Malcolm, come in." I said, with a smile on my face, I love Malcolm, I think he is the only family member I love, he is my role model, he was kind of my father figure, since I was 12, I don't even know what I would do without him. I gave them both a hug holding onto Malcolm just a tad longer than my mum.

We all went into the kitchen, my step mum and dad went up to greet my mum and brother, but when my brother and dad greeted, all hades broke lose, my brother and dad had one of those bro hugs, or something, and as my brother leaned in, I heard my brother whisper to my dad, "You ever hurt Annabeth and I wont hesitate to kill you, and don't worry, I never told anyone what you did to me, either." I just gasped, and when my brother pulled away, he put an overprotective, brotherly arm around me, and gave me one of those side hugs, I just sighed, and lead him to where Percy was stood.

"Malcolm this is Percy my fiancé, Percy this is Malcolm, my big bro" I said, hoping he wouldn't freak out that I'm getting married, oh who am I kidding he's my big brother Malcolm, of course he will, he did when he found Percy was my boyfriend...

"So he asked you did he, well, congratulations you too, you deserve happiness Annabeth and obviously Percy makes you happy."

"Wait so you knew Percy was going to propose to me?"

"Well, he asked for my permission, to marry you, and I said yes, he said that you think of me as your father figure, and I can understand, Percy why you didn't ask Fredrick, he will never live up to being our dad, and I'm guessing that Annabeth told you the story."

Percy just nodded, and I just looked confused,

"Whoa, is wise girl confused about something wow, this is a first." Percy, and Malcolm laughed, and I hit them both, and I could already tell these two have something in common with each other, winding me up.

"No I'm not confused, I just didn't think Percy would ask you, wow seaweed brain, I'm impressed." I said as I threw my arms around Percy's neck, he responded, by putting his arms around my waist, we then kissed much too, Malcolm, and the twins disappointment.

"Hey, not in front of me, I don't want to relive that moment when you told me a boy was coming over to 'study' and then I found you on top on him on the couch." Malcolm said,

"I already told you, I was 14 and I tripped and happened to fall onto him, and fate decided they would have you walk in, anyway, that boy was a creep, and this time it helps that I' am 22, and stood up, with 16 year olds in the room, what is the worst that could happen."

We all laughed, and walked towards my step brothers,

"Hey boys, I don't know if you will remember me, but I'm Malcolm, your step brother." Malcolm said to the twins

"Dude we know, your the one that sends me and Matthew stuff for our birthday, since you left"

"Hey, I sent you stuff to,"

"We know but Annie you sent us books, Malcolm sent us remote control cars, and cool stuff, not books on ancient history, or what was it one year, the great political leaders of the world, two teenage boys don't really want to learn about political leaders of the world,"

I just laughed, whist Malcolm had a smirk on his face, was it just me that couldn't smirk or something, anyway, I looked over to my mum who was chatting to my step mum, and dad I silently thanked her in my head, for keeping my dad occupied, because I told her what he did when we were younger, she said that today, she wouldn't let him spoil my day, that was one of the reasons I don't hate her anymore, well and because she gives us her blessing, I guess she's actually kind.

"Okay, present time," I said, as we all gathered around the Christmas tree.

Today is going to be a long day, and Percy's mum, and step dad, aren't even here yet, oh and I cant possibly forget about the cooking, uggh.

So that was chapter 14 , I hope you all enjoyed it, definitely, my favourite chapter to write.

R&R thanks!
