Annabeth opened the door to cabin three slowly, trying to be as quiet as possible so that her sleeping boyfriend wouldn't wake up seeing as it was almost two o'clock in the morning. Her sleeping in his cabin had become normal for them after the war with Gaia. Percy had been nervous about breaking the rule of not having two campers be alone in a cabin together. Annabeth, however, did not care, practically daring Mr. D or Chiron to not allow them to sleep together after all they had been through.

Tonight, while she and Percy were trying to fall asleep a storm had started; a particularly strong one that made its way past the borders that normally kept harsh weather out. Because of this one of her siblings came to get her, asking if she could come help comfort her younger siblings who were scared of all the thunder. Thankfully, the storm receded and she was able to get her siblings to fall asleep, allowing her to go back to cabin three.

As she walked in she, to her surprise, saw Percy sitting up in bed and what looked like someone else lying next to him. A wave of jealousy rose inside her, quickly making her angry. Calm down, she berated herself, Percy is not cheating on you, take a breath.

Percy looked up, having just then noticed her returning. He smiled at her, bringing a finger up to his lips, signaling her to be quiet. Now confused, she walked up to their bed, taking in the figure- or figures that lay there. She let out a soft laugh, mentally chiding herself again for jumping to conclusions. In her spot on the bed, Piper and Leo snored softly, curled up in each other's arms.

"They came a little bit after you left," Percy explained quietly. "All the thunder was bringing back some bad memories."

She smiled sadly, having not considered that. While they were on the Argo II storms pretty much always meant something bad was happening and they'd need to fight. Despite the somewhat sad circumstances, her heart swelled at them coming to Percy (and her) for comfort.

She was about to ask how she was supposed to get into bed when she noticed two other lumps buried beneath the blankets. She pointed at the smaller lump, curled up near Percy's legs, figuring that could only be one person, "Nico?" She asked in a whisper.

Percy let out a silent laugh, nodding, "Yeah, he didn't even say anything when he came in. Just shadowed and crawled next to me."

Annabeth chuckled, moving her attention to the larger lump sleeping at the end of the bed, "Who's that?" She asked.

Percy smirked, gently lifting the blanket to reveal a blond-headed son of Jupiter snoring peacefully. As Percy lowered the blanket back down carefully, she couldn't help but smile. She knew Jason was not used to going to anyone for comfort and was incredibly proud that he came to them. It may seem small to some people, but it was a huge step for Jason.

"How am I supposed to get in here?" She asked, only somewhat seriously. She'd love to sleep in bed with her family but she would take one of the extra beds in the cabin if needed to allow the other demigods to rest. Percy had other plans, he scooted Leo closer to him and managed to lift Piper with incredible gentleness. She took that as her cue and got into bed, pushing her legs under one of the many blankets. After she got situated Percy set Piper back where she was, this time with her head and shoulders on Annabeth's lap.

Piper let out a satisfied hum, "Annie's home." She whispered, half asleep. Annabeth couldn't help but laugh, stroking the younger girl's hair.

She turned to Percy who was smiling, a soft glint in his eyes, one she hadn't seen much of since Tartarus.

"When did we become parents?" She asked him, causing him to chuckle.

"I don't think we had much of a choice, they adopted us."

"Yeah, we did." another half-asleep voice said, "You're ours now."

Percy grinned, pulling Leo closer as the younger boy let out a satisfied sigh.

It may not have been the most comfortable night in the crowded bed but Annabeth could not bring herself to care.


Hello my lovely readers,

Thank you so much for reading!

Also don't think too much about the size of the bed lol, they have at least a king size. (Maybe Percy and Annabeth were gifted the bed when they decided to start sleeping together in Cabin three, i don't really know, I didn't put that much thought into it.)

But I did not put all six demigods on a twin bed XD

And yes, you can fit six teenagers onto a king size bed, even if it's not the most comfortable thing ever.

As always comments are always appreciated! Again, thanks for reading 3
