Gabe yells back YOU DIDNT FUCKING HELP US YOU JERK.

Percy's hand tightens on the phone, his knuckles turning white. "Who is this?" he demands, his voice low and dangerous.

Pipers new boyfriend Gabe? Annabeth whispers, her eyes narrowing. She takes the phone from Percy. "Percy, let me talk to her."

Percy nods, his jaw clenched. He knew he had overreacted, but the thought of anyone else raising Piper's children, especially without Jason, was too much to bear.

Annabeth takes the phone, her voice calm and soothing. "Piper, it's me," she says gently. "Percy didn't mean it like that. We're just... surprised, that's all."

"It's okay," Piper sniffles, her voice trembling. "I know you guys are worried, but Gabe's been there for us. He's not trying to replace Jason, he's just... helping us through it."

Annabeth nodded, her expression softening. "We understand, Piper," she said, her eyes on Percy. "We're just looking out for you."

Annabeth gabe said with a laugh is that really you?

Gabe's laugh echoed through the line. "It's me, Annie," he said, his voice filled with relief. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to jump in like that."

Annabeth nodded, her eyes never leaving Percy's. "It's fine, Gabe," she said, her voice tight. "We're just concerned."

You don't remember me Gabe said into the phone.

Annabeth's eyes flickered with recognition. "Gabe," she murmured, her voice softer. "It's been a long time."

"Too long," Gabe replied, his tone filled with warmth. "How are you, Annie?"

Annabeth's gaze lingered on Percy, who looked lost in thought. "We're okay," she said, her voice measured. "Life's been... different."

Yes it has but I'm not taking Jason's place Gabe said into the phone, his voice filled with understanding.

Annabeth nodded, her eyes misting up. "We know that," she said softly. "It's just... hard."

Three kids toddle in mommy daddy Piper and Gabe's kitchen.

Bye Annie Gabe say into the phone before handing it back to Piper.

What do you kids want to eat for lunch? Gabe asked, his voice a stark contrast to the tension in the room.

Piper Gabe asked her what are the kids names and ages again?

"Their names are Jason Jr., Drew, and Hazel," Piper said, her voice thick with pride. "They're eight, six, and four."

Who is eight who is six and who is four again Gabe asks Piper.

"Jason Jr. is eight, Drew is six, and Hazel is four," Piper replied, her voice steady. "They're growing up so fast."

Meanwhile with Gabe and Piper in the kitchen, the kids looked up from their cereal, their eyes wide with excitement as they heard their mother's voice change.

Gabe asks Piper his girlfriend hay honey can we talk nothing bad I promise.

Annabeth and Percy are not here it's just them right now Piper and Gabe are in the kitchen in their own cabin in camp half blood.

Do you remember when you cheated on Jason with me Piper? Gabe asked, his eyes searching hers for any hint of regret.

Piper's cheeks flushed, and she looked away. "That was a mistake, Gabe," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "A long time ago."

"I know," Gabe said, his tone gentle. "But it brought us here, didn't it?"

Piper looked at him, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions. "Yeah," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "It did."

Gabe nodded, taking her hand in his. "I'm sorry for everything that happened, Piper," he said, his voice sincere. "But I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere."

Piper your cock is bigger then his piper said with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood.

Gabe's laugh filled the kitchen, the tension between them dissipating like mist in the morning sun. "Is that so?" he teased, leaning in closer. "I'll have to take your word for it."

The children looked at each other, their eyes sparkling with curiosity at their mother's sudden giggle. They had never seen her act this way before.

"Mommy, what's funny?" Jason Jr. asked, his spoonful of cereal poised in mid-air.

"Oh, nothing," Piper said, her cheeks pink. "Just a joke between friends."

Piper he said I'll give you a treat tonight.

An uncomfortable silence fell over the kitchen, and even the children could feel the sudden shift in the air. Gabe's hand tightened around Piper's, and she looked down at their intertwined fingers, feeling a rush of guilt.

"Mommy, can we go to the beach today?" Drew asked, her eyes hopeful as he tugged on her shirt.

"We'll see, sweetie," Piper said, forcing a smile. "Let's get ready for camp first

Do get to play with Percy kids today? Drew asked, trying to keep the conversation light.

"Maybe," Piper said, her eyes meeting Gabe's. "But we'll have to talk to Percy and Annie about it first."

Gabe nodded, his gaze lingering on Piper's for a moment too long before turning to the kids. "Finish your breakfast," he said, his voice firm but gentle. "We've got a big day ahead."

Percy, still tense, sat on the edge of their bed, his eyes on the floor. Annabeth handed him the phone. "They're okay," she said, her voice soft. "And the kids are happy."

"I know," Percy murmured, his eyes meeting hers. "But it's just... hard to imagine them with someone else."

"I know, love," Annabeth said, her voice gentle as she sat beside him. "But we have to trust that Piper knows what's best for her and her family."

But little does Percy Annabeth knows that Piper cheated on Jason with Gabe because Gabe and Annabeth have been friends since childhood and Gabe had feelings for Piper since forever.

And she doesn't tell Percy about the affair because it's not her place to do so, Percy thought, his gaze flickering to Annabeth, who was busy packing their overnight bag. He knew his wife and Piper had a complicated history, but he didn't know the full extent of it.

But now wasn't the time to delve into old wounds. "Alright, let's get going," Percy said, standing up and slinging the bag over his shoulder.

Gabe Annabeth we need to talk about the secret we've been keeping from Percy.

Annabeth nodded, her expression serious as she took a deep breath. "I know," she said, her eyes meeting Gabe's. "But it's not just about us, it's about Piper and the kids."

"I understand," Gabe said, his eyes filled with understanding. "But it's been eating at me."

Piper wait Percy doesn't know yet she said, her voice urgent.

"Know what?" Gabe asked, his eyes searching hers.

They we cheated with each other before you even knew me Piper says.

Percy's eyes snapped up, his heart racing. "What are you talking about?" he asked, his voice tight.

Oh nothing seaweed brain Annabeth said, trying to play it off. But the look in her eyes told Percy there was more to the story than she was letting on.

Let's go over the rules again, shall we? Gabe said, eager to change the subject and defuse the tension.

Percy what is the secret he said, his voice filled with confusion and a hint of anger.

Piper sighs I cheated on Jason with Gabe before we all became friends she admits, looking at the floor.

Percy felt the air leave his lungs as if he'd been punched. "What?" he managed to croak out, his eyes flicking from Piper to Gabe and back again.

Percy PIPER HOW COULD YOU JASON LOVED YOU! Percy roars, his fists clenching.

"It was before I knew what love was," Piper said, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Before I knew what it meant to be a true hero. I was lost, and Gabe..."

Annabeth I knew too she says, her voice trembling. We promised to keep it between us, for the sake of the kids and our friendship.

Piper Plus, Percy, she says all love was manufactured by Hera, remember? So it's not like it was real love anyway.

Percy felt his world tilt on its axis. He had always known that the gods played games with their children, but to think that his friend's love had been a mere pawn in Hera's grand scheme was too much to process. He took a step back, his hand on his chest. "Hera," he murmured. "This is her work."

Annabeth The same person that took you away from me for six months, Percy, she says, her voice filled with bitterness.

Percy's eyes narrowed as he stared at Piper and Gabe. "I can't believe this," he said, his voice shaking with anger. "You've been lying to us all this time."

Actually, only to you the girls already knew this. I told Annabeth because we were friends Since childhood and Piper knew because she was the one who I did it with. Gabe said, his eyes never leaving Percy's, daring him to challenge the truth.

Flashback to the night Gabe and Piper cheated on Jason, with Gabe and Annabeth sitting outside the cabin, whispering about their feelings for Piper.

This next thing is a flashback of what happened that night with Gabe and Piper.

The night was thick with secrets, the air heavy with the scent of pine and the faint whisper of the ocean. Gabe and piper sat side by side on the porch of the Aphrodite cabin, their hearts racing as they confessed their true feelings to each other. They had been friends since they were kids, their bond forged in the fires of war and the quiet moments of peace between battles. But it was the quiet moments that had become harder to find, as the years at camp had taken their toll on them all.

Gabe and Piper walking through the woods hand-in-hand they hear moaning it was Jason with a random girl from the Apollo cabin that he was fucking.

Gabe's grip on Piper's hand tightened as they heard the distant sounds of laughter and passion. They knew it was Jason, and for a moment, they felt like intruders on a sacred space. But the pain in Piper's eyes was too raw to ignore. She had always loved him, even when he didn't deserve it. And in that moment, Gabe knew that he had to be there for her, to be the rock she needed.

Jason drive your big cock in my tight pussy she moaned in the distance.

Gabe fists clenched at his sides as the sound of Jason's infidelity echoed through the woods. It was a harsh reminder of the gods' cruel games and the pain they often inflicted on their demigod children.

"Come with me," he murmured to Piper, his voice thick with emotion. He knew he couldn't change the past, but he could offer her comfort in the present.

Piper goes up to Jason WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE she screams at the top of her lungs.

The moaning abruptly stopped, and the forest fell silent as the couple on the ground froze in place. Jason scrambled to pull his pants up, his eyes wide with shock and fear. "Piper," he stuttered, his face flushing red. "It's not what it looks like."

YOU CHEATING BITCH Piper yells at the girl from Apollo cabin, her fists clenching in rage.

The girl, startled, looked up at Piper, her eyes wide with fear. "I-I'm sorry," she stuttered, her hands covering her bare chest. "I didn't know he was with you.

Piper yells at Jason ITS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? YOU'VE BEEN FUCKING THEM THE WHOLE TIME?

Jason stumbled back, his eyes darting between Piper and Gabe. "It's just... it's complicated," he managed to say, his voice cracking.

Piper yells COMPLICATED? YOU FUCKED THEM FOR MONTHS!

Just then annabeth hears the commotion and rushes out of the cabin, her sword drawn. "What's going on?" she demanded, her eyes scanning the scene before here

Jason is fucking this Apollo girl in the woods and Piper and Gabe stumble upon them.

Annabeth took in the scene before her: Piper, her eyes blazing with anger and betrayal, standing over a cowering Jason and a half-dressed girl from the Apollo cabin, Gabe's jaw clenched with his own anger at the sight of his friend's infidelity. She knew that this was a moment that would change everything.

Hay Jason watch this she makes out with Gabe right in front of you.

The words hung in the air like a sword about to fall, and the shock on Jason's face was palpable. Piper leaned in and kissed Gabe passionately, her eyes never leaving Jason's. It was a declaration of not just her feelings, but of the new path she was choosing.

Jason what about the kids Drew Jason jr and Hazel? What are you going to tell them? Annabeth asked, her voice trembling with rage and sadness.

Jason looked from Annabeth to Piper, his eyes filled with regret and fear. "I... I don't know," he stuttered, his shoulders slumping. "I'm sorry."

Go fuck her some more she said to the Apollo girl, pushing Jason towards her and storming off with Gabe.

Piper says to Gabe we have to tell them that Jason died a hero and that we're together now to protect them.

End of flashback

They finally tell Percy the truth about Jason's cheating on her and their relationship.

Percy felt the ground shift beneath him as the weight of the revelation sunk in. "Jason?" he repeated, his voice hollow. "He cheated on you?"

Piper brakes down in Gabe's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. "Yes," she choked out between sobs. "But it was just as much my fault as it was his."

Annabeth no Piper he chose to leave you and fuck that Apollo girl she says, her voice laced with anger.

Percy's eyes searched Annabeth's, looking for the truth in her words. "Is that why you guys...?" he trailed off, unable to fully voice the question.

Annabeth nodded, her eyes filled with regret. "It was a mess, Percy," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "But we all made mistakes."

That's why we told the kids he died gabe says, his voice tight with emotion. It was less complicated and easier for them to understand.

Percy felt his chest tighten as he processed the information. He had always known that Jason was flawed, but to learn that he had hurt Piper so deeply was a blow. "What happened after that?" he asked, his voice barely above a murmur.

After he cheated on me Piper said still crying I made out with Gabe right in front of him to hurt him.

Percy's eyes narrowed as he digested this new piece of information. "But why keep it a secret?" he asked, his voice strained.

Annabeth we didn't want to hurt your bromance with him she says, her voice laced with sarcasm. But more importantly, we didn't want to burden the kids with the truth about their father.
