Whoa! It's been a while since I've written some fanfiction. I reread the PJO and HOO series recently and now it's my entire personality all over again. Anyways, here's mostly chill fanfic about Percy's senior year in high school.
Chapter 1: My Mom Thinks I did the Dirty (I Did)
August 10th
It had been nine days since the end of the Giant War, nine days since Gaia was defeated in a spectacular cloud of storms, fire and high-grade explosives, nine days since the Greeks and the Romans made peace with the return of the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half Blood. Nine days since Leo disappeared, five days since the Romans returned to New Rome, three days since Percy had been reunited with his mother Sally Jackson and stepfather Paul Blofis.
Their reunion involved lots of hugs, apologizing, tears (many of which came from Percy and Sally), good food, and overall catching up with the events that had transpired over the past eight months. Annabeth had been there on the day that Percy returned to his parents, but she headed back to the camp later that evening. She and Percy had a heated discussion where Percy insisted, he return to camp with her, but Annabeth insisted that Percy should spend some time with his family. She had hoped that spending time with them would help him in clearing his head, besides she emphasized that there was a lot of boring clean up and administration work back at camp and Percy would be better off spending time with family.
The discussion went on for several minutes until Percy reluctantly agreed to stay at his parents for the time being.
Once things calmed down, Sally took a good look at her son. She noticed that her son was not in good condition both physically and mentally. Physically, he had grown taler, leaner and more muscular over the last eight months, but he was too thin, his skin pale, bags under his eyes, had singed hair, sometimes wheezed when he breathed, and was covered in more scars than the last time she saw him. Mentally, he was easily startled, was plagued by nightmares, woke up in cold sweats, occasionally screamed in his sleep and had flashbacks among others.
Despite all this, Sally saw that her son was really trying to get better for her sake and for his own as well. One night, he was sitting on the edge of his bed, twirling Riptide in his hand when Sally sat next to him. He expectantly flinched at her presence and quickly apologized that he had been startled and was not expecting her. Sally quickly apologized as well and took her son in a warm embrace and let him know that she was there for him if he needed her. Percy returned the hug and set his head on her shoulder. He breathed out a lengthy breath and tightened the hug.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Sally asked. She was hugging him softly and warmly.
Percy took a couple more breaths before responding. "I don't know, Mom. So much has happened that I don't know how to… if that makes sense."
Sally nodded and hugged him tighter. "Whenever you're ready I'm here for you, ok?"
Percy only nodded as he dug his chin onto her shoulder. How great it felt to be in this warm, caring, comfortable embrace.
Sally left the bedroom several minutes later after talking with her son. She walked over to the refrigerator where she noticed she had scheduled a doctor's appointment for Percy the following day. She knew that Percy had gotten medical care on the demigod side with nectar and ambrosia, but she still wanted to make sure he was getting the proper care on the mortal side. She wanted to make sure he was a healthy weight, was up to date with his vaccinations, had his blood tested, and gotten his teeth checked among other things. She just wanted the reassurance that everything was working well inside or as best it could be.
When Sally first bought up the idea of seeing a doctor, Percy had insisted that he was doing fine and dandy, but Sally knew that was far from the truth. She kept insisting that it was for his own good and it would make her feel better if he got some help. He eventually agreed but said she better buy him lunch afterwards. Sally smiled and laughed brightly and ruffled his singed hair.
She went back to Percy's room and let him know that he had an appointment the following day. Percy nodded and told her that he would be asleep soon. Sally told him to sleep tight and she would see him in the morning. She made her way back to the couch and pulled out her phone and journal. She was going to plan a great day for her son.
Percy
Percy was not having a good time. First, he had to visit a doctor due to his mother's insistence. Then, when he asked his mother what they were doing the rest of the day she simply replied that it was a secret. Not only that, but he had not eaten breakfast that morning since he was getting his blood tested, so he was growing increasingly hungry.
In addition, he was cold.
He wasn't sure if the office itself was overly cold if it had just been him. He had lost some weight over the past couple of weeks with spending almost three weeks in Tartarus and being poisoned by Polybotes. Being in Tartarus was bad enough, but when he was poisoned, he couldn't keep any food down for several days. And the worst part was, he couldn't kiss Annabeth those days he had been puking his guts out.
If he ever ran into Polybotes again, Percy was sure to share some very colorful choice words with him and then kick his ass.
Now he was tired, hungry, cranky, bored, and cold. Not a good combination for someone like him. He shivered slightly despite wearing jeans and his gray Levi's hoodie.
"My life is just going great," he grumbled.
On the bright side, his mother promised to get him lunch afterwards, so he guessed it wasn't too bad.
He was sitting in the lobby waiting for his name to be called. He was bouncing his right leg as he tried to watch the show on the television. Apparently, some girl was hosting a one woman show and was singing about Chicago. It was kind of funny seeing all the shenanigans she was getting herself in and Percy smiled whenever she started singing again.
Percy had been nervous to see the doctor, despite coming to this specific doctor since he found out he was a demigod. This doctor was a demigod doctor, so she was quite familiar with the problems that plagued demigods. She was always so kind and supportive to all her patients that felt like a mother talking to their child rather than a patient talking to a healthcare professional. Percy internally went through scenarios in his head on how the appointment would go. Since she was a demigod doctor, she most likely knew his 'adventure' over the past eight months and would therefore not ask too many questions. Percy was unsure if he should share everything that happened to him in hopes of getting help. He tended to downplay the danger of his quests so that his friends and family would not worry, but now he wondered if he should downplay this again. And if he did, by what extent?
What bothered him the most though was when the dreaded question would come up. He knew it was coming, ever since he was 12 that same question came up and every time he answered no, but now the answer would be something different. He wondered if would get a scolding from the doctor or perhaps his mother when she found out. He didn't have long to think as his name was called by the receptionist.
"Percy Jackson," she called.
Percy made his way up to the desk by himself. He and his mother had agreed that Percy would see the doctor by himself since she wanted to give him some privacy. When he came into the receptionist's view she said, "ah great, first door the right please."
She pointed down the hall and Percy nodded and thanked her. His stomach was on the floor. He made his way to the door and took deep breaths. The door was open and inside was a young woman wearing dark blue medical scrubs. She was typing on a keyboard. She stopped when she noticed him.
"Ah, Percy, it's good to see you again," she greeted cheerfully.
"It's good see you too Nurse Nellie," Percy responded with a smile.
She pulled out a clipboard with his information on it and motioned for Percy to enter the room.
"I hope you're doing well. First things first, let's measure your height and weight and take your blood pressure."
She had Percy remove his shoes and had him stand back against the wall in front of a stadiometer. She told him to keep his back straight as she measured his height. Percy didn't notice the height since he wasn't facing the side where the numbers were.
From there she had him stand on scale where she took his weight. He saw when the numbers flashed on the small screen. He almost did a double take and not the reasons most people do double takes when they measure their weight. He knew he had lost some weight since his time on the Argo II, but he didn't know that it was this much.
He weighed almost the same since the last time he visited the doctor before the Battle of Manhattan, and he was pretty sure he was shorter then as well.
He asked the nurse what his height was, and she responded with 6'1" (185 cm). So, he had gotten taller since the last time he visited. Last time he visited he was 5'8" (172 cm). The same height as Annabeth.
He smirked when the nurse told him since that made him taller than Annabeth and she had been taller than him in their younger years. Now he could tease her about her height like she did in their younger years. Not that he wasn't teasing her beforehand, but now he could use the actual numbers.
He had his blood pressure and temperature taken and was then escorted to a different room. The room where he would meet with the doctor. Like always there was the desk with the computer, the sink with plenty of soap and paper towels, cabinets filled with medical supplies, and the examination table with a fresh roll of paper towel covering it. The place smelled of soap and antiseptic and he took a seat on the examination table. He started fidgeting with his hands and looked around the room for something to entertain himself with. He focused on a poster that showed the recommended vaccinations for teens and young adults. Looking at it, made him realize that he was due for a couple of vaccinations which he would most likely get later.
His mind started wondering again about the discussion with the doctor. More specifically the dreaded question that he knew would come. Should he be honest or lie to the doctor? A quick knock on the door bought him out his thoughts and the door opened. In came in the doctor he had been seeing for the past years. She was middle aged women with chocolate dark skin, dark voluminous hair, and cheerful eyes. She kind of reminded Percy of Hazel.
When she looked at him, it seemed like she had tears in her eyes. Percy stood up quickly afraid that he had done something wrong but was quickly embraced by the older woman.
"Oh Percy, I'm so glad that you're ok. I heard about your adventures in the past months and was so afraid that something had gone horribly wrong."
Percy almost laughed at what she said. "Well, some things did go horribly wrong, but I guess I can't complain. I have all my parts. Arms and legs, fingers and toes, teeth, and ears and all that. I'm as fit as horse."
She pulled herself away and gave him another smile. "I'm just glad to see you again." She looked into his eyes for a second, then her hand gently touched his face. "You've grown into quite the handsome young man."
Percy blushed at the compliment. He had been getting that comment quite often from all kinds of people, but it always caught him off guard like he couldn't believe it. It was an understandable comment coming from his mother but even the neighbors, other campers, and heck the naiads at camp commented on his appearance. The naiads around camp he never understood. They were always close by whenever he went into the water and just... stared at him. Maybe it was a Poseidon thing.
She made her way to the desk the computer and pulled up his medical history. She motioned for him to take a seat on the examination table.
"Before we start, I just want to give you a big thanks Percy. Because of you, I was finally claimed by my godly parent."
"O don't worry about it. It was no big deal."
"It was to me Percy. I went so many years without knowing who my parent was until last summer. Who do think I'm the child of?"
"Hera?" Percy asked teasingly.
"Nope Asclepius claimed me. All this time I thought I was a daughter of Apollo. I guess I should have known when my arrows always missed and my singing burst eardrums."
"If you ever heard Apollo sing, you would want to rip out your eardrums," Percy laughed. "But seriously, the God of Medicine huh. I guess that makes perfect sense Dr. Wilson."
"Please just call me Emily."
"Whatever you say Dr. Emily."
She grinned and went back to her computer and looked over his medical record. After a minute she said, "Well it looks like we have a lot to talk about."
They first began talking about the concern that his weight was too low for his height, and he should look into filling out with big hearty meals, especially since he would be doing sports at school. She also mentioned that he should opt for more homecooked meals instead of fast food as it could have unintended consequences. She didn't outright say not to eat fast food, but rather limit how much he ate it. 'Everything in moderation' she insisted.
She then checked his heart rate, his lungs and breathing. Percy told her about the sulfurous air in Tartarus and how he had been cursed by a blow that went through his chest that may have damaged his lungs. He also bought up how he wheezed sometimes when partaking in extensive physical activity. She nodded and took notes on the computer.
She then had him remove his clothes except his boxers and had him place on a medical gown. This step always made Percy a bit uncomfortable, but he knew that it was standard procedure. She examined his body and asked if there was any region where he felt pain and took more notes as she continued testing. She examined his scars and asked if he would like them removed. Percy agreed to have the worst ones removed but keep a couple of them (he thought they made him look cool). After a couple of minutes Percy put his clothes back on and they continued talking. When finally, the dreaded question came up.
"As you know it's standard for me to ask. Percy are you sexually active?"
Percy faced the wall as his face a grew an increasing shade of red. That probably answered the question.
He thought back about how it happened. After he and Annabeth had escaped from Tartarus, they had gotten quite intimate with each other. The pain and emotion they shared along with the fear that they could possibly die soon had expedited this milestone in their relationship. They did it… more than once on the Argo II on their quest to Athens and Coach Hedge wasn't around anymore to reprimand them for these behaviors. Although Buford was around with his Hedge hologram, which Percy had threatened to throw overboard on many occasions.
He had 'accidentally' thrown Leo overboard as well, but that was an 'accident'.
All their friends on the Argo II knew at this point. It's not like any of their friends walked in on them. That would have been extremely embarrassing, like when Frank caught them sleeping on the stables. But during the stables debacle, they had just fallen asleep yet everyone for some reason thought they did something else.
This time however, Leo made a comment one day on how the ship stayed calm in the waters while Percy was around. He then said that he felt the ship rocking more than normal one night and looked Percy straight in the eye with a knowing look as he said it. Needless to say, Leo ended up soaking wet a second later as Percy threw him overboard. Which wasn't hard, the dude weighed like 100 pounds.
Leo was shouting curses while Percy was leaning over the ship railing looking completely nonchalant. Piper had come up on the deck asking what all the noise was about.
Percy responded in the most casual voice, "Oh, I just threw Leo overboard."
Piper just shrugged and said, "he probably deserved it." And they high fived.
Leo didn't quite appreciate being thrown overboard, so he started telling everyone on the ship.
Frank and Hazel were tomato red, and Hazel was fanning her face with her hand whenever Percy and Annabeth were in the same frame. Leo just looked unimpressed and mildly disgusted like he couldn't believe they were doing that on his ship. Jason winked at Percy and patted him on the back, and Piper was beaming with joy as a daughter of Aphrodite.
Honestly, Piper was an accomplice since she was the one that had given Annabeth the 'special item' required for their activity.
"Uh… yes." He responded in a quiet voice.
The doctor only nodded and reassured him. "There's nothing to be ashamed of Percy. Greek demigods have often died young so it's quite normal that you've done it."
Percy looked at her and saw a growing grin on her face. "I just hope you know the dangers of unprotected sex."Percy rolled his eyes. He hoped this would not devolve into another conversation about the dangers of unprotected sex. He had that conservation in middle school health class, high school health class, from his mother and Paul and surprisingly from Poseidon.
Percy had visited his father's palace after the Battle of Manhattan for dinner one night with his immortal family. That did not turn out so great, what was meant to be a nice dinner with his father, Amphitrite, and some of their godly children quickly turned into a ton of cursing, a food fight, some flying punches, and some colorful insults aimed specifically at Triton.
Poseidon had calmed them all down and wanted to speak to Percy privately. The Sea God first said how proud he was for his demigod son and hoped he could get along with his godly siblings. After that, he asked his son how his relationship was going with Annabeth. Percy told him that they were finally going out and clapped him on the back.
"That's my boy," Poseidon beamed as he clapped Percy on the back.
The God of the Sea then went into a long discussion about the dangers of unprotected sex. Poseidon didn't call it the 'birds and the bees' but rather called it the 'seahorses and the goldfish'. Percy was rolling his eyes the entire time his father was talking to him about the subject. His father really had the audacity to lecture him as if he hadn't been popping demigod children left and right during ancient times.
His attention was bought back to the doctor's office as she asked him a few more questions regarding his health. Percy let out a loud exhale, happy that she wasn't proving too much into his sex life.
"I know you've had a rough time Percy, but how are you feeling truly?" the doctor asked. "Please be honest with me, I want to help you to the best of my abilities."
Percy stopped and thought for a moment. He wondered whether to tell her about the nightmares he was having, the flashbacks he got often and the panic attacks. He took a deep breath.
"Honestly, doc. I'm doing kinda shitty." He started. He continued after a moment. "It's not so bad during the day. I can keep my mind occupied so it doesn't wonder back to… that place. Heck, I'll even be swimming and playing basketball in school this year to help me handle the stress."
The doctor nodded as she took notes on her clipboard. She looked at him with deep empathetic eyes as if telling him to go on.
He took another deep breath. "It's usually during the night when things get a bit crazy. There's nothing for me to do, so my mind starts wondering and then stuff happens." He took another breath. "I have these awful nightmares sometimes and I wake up in a cold sweat, screaming and crying sometimes. And there's also the flashbacks and the panic attacks."
"I see. Thank you for letting me know. It's always good to acknowledge that something is wrong. But it's also not good to keep things bottled up. Share with family what you're going through."
Percy nodded.
"If you want, I can recommend you to a therapist."
"I think that would be great. If you could also recommend my girlfriend Annabeth to one that would be great for her as well." He ran a hand through his hair.
The doctor smiled. "Will do. I'll keep you posted."
She went back to her computer and started looking at his dental records. Apparently, his doctor had also become a dentist in the eight months that he was gone. So now her nametag read 'Emily Wilson MD, PHD, DMD'. When she had time to get so many degrees Percy did not know. Perhaps it was a trait of children of Asclepius.
She told him lay down on the examination table and put on the funny gadget that dentists put on. The ones with all the magnifying glasses and lights. She told him to open wide and she started proving around his teeth looking for any cavities or anything alarming.
Percy had always been a bit self-conscious about his teeth. His two front teeth were slightly crooked, and he never asked his mom for braces since he knew they were expensive. There was also some trauma left over from Gabe from when the older man would call the young boy 'a waste a space and money.'
Percy pushed it all aside as the doctor continued proving around his mouth. Hopefully there wasn't anything wrong, but after spending some time in Tartarus and considering his diet high in sugar he doubted that. He had been brushing regularly, so that had to count for something. Right?
She pulled away a minute later and let him the diagnosis. "Well Percy…" she paused for dramatic effect, "your teeth are perfectly fine."
"Huh?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, they're great, no cavities at all and it looks like they straightened out by themselves."
"Oh… that's good." He smiled.
"Sure is. Just remember to keep brushing at least twice a day and floss."
She turned around to type in some information into her computer. After a minute she let him know that he was almost ready to go. All that was left were his vaccinations and blood test.
Percy nodded just as his stomach let out a loud roar like a gryphon starved for food. He brushed the back of his head. "Sorry, I haven't had breakfast."
"Don't worry about it sweetheart. I'll make sure you get something to eat after your blood test."
She left the room and told him to stay and that she would be back in a minute. During that time, Percy began contemplating how the appointment went. Surprisingly well all things considered. At least he didn't get another 'birds and bees' lecture.
The door opened and in came the doctor. She had a tray with various syringes, medicine vials, and the equipment needed to draw blood. She went over the procedure with Percy, and he nodded.
As he was getting vaccinated, he wondered how he would have gotten vaccinated if he still had the Curse of Achilles. Would the needle bend when it would try to enter? Would the needle shatter into a million pieces? Would the needle just break off? Well, he guessed it didn't matter anymore since the curse had been washed when he entered New Rome.
The whole process was completely painless. His mother had sometimes bought up how he would wail as a child when he was vaccinated. For some reason needles seemed much scarier at that age, but with everything he had gone through, needles looked trivial. Before he could go, the doctor told gave him a goody bag and told him to wait in the lobby and wait to be called by the receptionist.
Percy stood up, feeling slightly dizzy from not eating and the blood that was drawn. He thanked his doctor and headed to the lobby where his mother was writing something on her journal. Perhaps a new recipe she had seen on the television or a new idea for her novel?
"Hey Mom." He waved.
Sally's face left her journal and waved back. "How did it go dear? Nothing too worrying?"
Percy gave her his troublemaker smirk. "She just said you should feed me more."
Sally smirked back. "Feeding you is a full-time job in itself."
Percy shrugged and sat next to her. They talked for a couple minutes before he was called to the front desk. He gave his mom his goody bag and said he would right back. Unfortunately for him, he had not checked what was inside the goody bag. He later found out the goodies included an inhaler, some sleeping pills to help keep some nightmares away, some lotion to help with his more severe scars, informational pamphlets on nutrition, a food diary with his recommended meal sizes (he would need a lot of food), two apples, a granola bar, a vial of nectar, some bars of ambrosia and a packet of peanut butter sandwich crackers.
Unfortunately, the last item was the one that raised an eyebrow from Sally. There in the bag was a box of condoms.
Sally
Sally was sitting in the lobby as Percy went in to be examined. She let Percy go in by himself since she wanted to give him some privacy and hopefully would make him more comfortable in discussing certain topics with the doctor. She just hoped that he got all the help he needed in these rough times, and she thought that her presence there might sway his answers.
A minute after he went in, she took out her journal to see if she could come up with any ideas for her second book. Her first book had been published a year prior and had sold quite well. Not enough to make her a millionaire, but enough that she didn't have to work full time for the time being. This free time allowed her to spend more time with her family and would hopefully allow her more time to work with her son as well.
For example, she had taken Percy to register for school the day prior since unfortunately he had been kicked out of the Goode for his extended absence. Percy was understandably upset since it wasn't even his fault that he had been kidnapped for so long.
Sally had been ready to march onto Olympus with a loaded shotgun, find Hera, slap some sense into her and then maybe grab some lunch with her son. Although it sounded like a good idea, her recklessness could have led to some dire consequences, so she opted for the less exciting plan B.
Sally comforted him and let him know that she and Paul and would find someplace else for him to go. Percy had argued that maybe they could sue the school for his expulsion on the grounds that he was kidnapped.
But unfortunately, no police report had been filed and lawyers were expensive.
Sally and Paul had been looking into schools that they could possibly enroll Percy in when she came up on the page of New York's Alternative High School (AHS). Their front page advertised how they focused on students that had difficulty in traditional school and would gladly take any students.
She made some quick notes and noticed that the school would be enrolling students soon. She also noticed that the school would be hosting tryouts for their many programs in sports, arts, clubs and everything in between. Her eyes brightened when she saw this announcement since Percy had mentioned that he was interested in trying out sports.
In the past, Percy had been part of the basketball team in one of his previous schools, but he had been expelled before things got going. Percy had also expressed interest in joining the swim team, but none of his previous schools had a swim team to speak of. She was practically jumping in excitement when she saw that the swim team and the basketball team would be holding tryouts the following day.
She relayed the information to Percy who practically jumped in joy at the chance of possibly doing sports again, and swimming no less.
They had visited the school the following day and got a tour before Percy was enrolled. Then they visited the gym where various coaches were trying out students for the various sports teams. From what Sally could see there was football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, wrestling, cross country, and of course swimming. They looked around for a bit looking for the swim coach and were told he was in the swimming pool with the swim team.
They found him and expressed their interest to join the team. The coach patted Percy on the back and said, "show me what you got son."
Percy smirked and quickly changed into his swimming gear. Since he had never been part of the swim team before he put on his green swim trunks. He took his position on a block at the edge of the pool and waited for the signal from the coach to jump in. The coach blew his whistle and Percy jumped in as the coach was timing Percy on his stopwatch.
When Percy surfaced, the coach's mouth was agape. He had completed the 50-meter circuit in 21 seconds.
Percy got out the pool and smirked at the coach. "So, am I in Coach Gonzalez?"
The coach's mouth was still agape until he clapped Percy on the back. "You, my boy are definitely in."
"Whoa that was insane! He was gliding in the water like a dolphin." One of the swim team boys said.
"That guy needs to be on the team. Maybe he'll be captain after you turned down the position Daniel." A very tall boy said.
"Shut up you oaf, I don't want you mention that again," the boy presumably Daniel said.
After getting dressed, signing paperwork, getting to meet the swim team, and discussing with the coach, Percy and Sally made their way out and back into the gym.
"So… did you use your powers while in the pool?" Sally asked, giving her son a raised eyebrow.
Percy responded indignantly, "do you have no faith in me Mom?"
Sally only raised her eyebrow even further and Percy snorted and gave in.
"Ok maybe a little. Just propelled myself a bit, but I promise I won't do it again."
"Good, now let's see about the basketball team."
They made their way back to the gym where the other coaches were speaking with parents and other students. They would have kept walking if they weren't almost hit by a stray basketball. Percy's demigod instincts kicked in and he caught the basketball effortlessly. He bounced the ball on the floor and looked at the direction from which the ball came.
In came a young boy around Percy's age and slightly shorter. He was wearing the school's navy-blue basketball uniform. "Sorry, man," he apologized.
"No worries, no harm done," Percy responded. Percy would have thrown the ball back but she saw that mischievous smirk make its way on his face.
"Say, dude, why don't we play?" Percy asked.
The other guy shrugged, "you're on, man."
Percy got in the basketball team as well after he narrowly beat the guy he met earlier. The coach had his eye on Percy as they were playing. When the game ended, the coach approached Percy and asked if he was interested in joining the basketball team which Percy was glad to. The coach pulled them aside and had them go over the procedures for the team and sign some paperwork.
The guy from earlier came up and shook hands and introduced himself. "You handled yourself well back there. Name's Gregg Abrams, captain of the basketball team."
"Percy Jackson captain of the... canoe team?"
"We don't have a canoe team." Gregg had a questioning expression.
"I'm just messing with you man. Glad to meet you."
"Likewise. I look forward to playing with you." They shook hands again. "Oh and don't mess with the football and wrestling captains. Those guys are complete asshats."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Sally almost thought Percy had gotten into the team too easily until Percy responded that he often played basketball with his friend Jason on their quest to pass the time. From what Percy had told her, Jason was a beast when it came to basketball and playing against Gregg was like playing against Jason.
"Besides, Jason plays like one of those basketball obsessed baboon dudes I met in Brooklyn a while back."
Sally didn't know if he meant that as a joke, or if he was completely serious, or if he was just calling Jason a baboon. She hadn't met Jason, so she couldn't confirm.
Sally went back to her notes in her journal where she had written a to do list for the day. The list read:
1. Take Percy to the doctor
2. Buy lunch
3. Get him a haircut
4. Buy sports gear
5. Get his skateboard fixed
6. Go grocery shopping
7. Get him a phone?
She smiled and scratched off the first item on her list.
"One down, six more to go." She wasn't sure about the phone option but kept it in the back of her mind. She also had to remember to call Annabeth and ask her if she wanted to come to dinner tonight.
AN: now me personally, I feel that Percy and Annabeth did the deed during the Blood of Olympus. Maybe that's why they didn't get POVs during that book. Moving on, I'm going to try to keep this story as cannon compliant as I can, but I might add some stuff in the later chapters to make things a bit more interesting. (Chalice of the Gods comes out in September, so who knows how that will turn out). I went back and added the POVs for all chapters to make things less confusing.
Next chapter will feature the rest of Sally's list and just some overall good vibes. I feel that Percy and Annabeth deserve some good vibes after all those quests. I hope the following chapter will be out soon. Also please excuse any grammar mistakes. I do my best to proofread but sometimes I can't catch all mistakes.
This story will most likely be slice of life/fluff/family and healing after the war. I probably won't write any smut, but who knows...Also, I welcome ideas for chapters. So let me know if you have ideas. Thanks, and appreciate you taking the time to read my story!
Here's like head cannon on the characters height/weight. This is how I see them in my head as I read the books/ fanfics (some might be slightly different from the official heights). I also base it off a lot of fanarts that I see online.

Annabeth- 5'8" (173 cm)
Jason- 6'2" (188 cm)
Piper- 5'7" (170 cm)
