Ben's POV:

I was talking with Frederick, my nieces husband, when the loudest cry I've ever heard erupted from upstairs. A baby's cry. That confused me because only Teresa had a baby but her and her family were running an hour late. Everyone froze. Then two teenagers, around 19, jumped off the couch and stood. I recognized the girl as Annabeth, Helen's step-daughter I've heard stories about Annabeth, how weird things happened when she was around, so we all kept a distance from her. I didn't recognize the boy though. He had sea green eyes and unruly raven black hair. He was  about a head and a couple inches taller than Annabeth. The crying continues.

"Luke!" Annabeth yelled. Then they bolted up the stairs. Who was Luke? I turned back to Frederick. 

"Who was that boy?" I asked. Frederick smiled.

"Oh, that was Percy. Annabeth and him have been married for two years." He said. I felt my eyes grow wide. 

"Husband!? Two years?! She got married at 17? He'll probably divorce her right when he sees another girl!" I exclaimed.

"That will not happen and you will not speak about my son-in-law like that under this roof." He said. 

"I'm not going to say I'm not disappointed because I'd be lying but I am very disappointed in you and Helen and disgusted in Annabeth." I said as I walked away to talk with my brother. 

Annabeth's POV: 

We bolted up the stairs. We slowed as we neared the bedroom and saw the door creaked open. We could hear crying, screaming, and laughing through the crack. Percy looked at me with a panicked look and I squeezed his hand. I pushed open the door and walked in. What I saw made my blood boil. Four kids were jumping on the bed and running around shooting each other with nurf darts. Luke was in the packing play crying. I saw a bullet next to him, implying that he had been hit.

"HEY!"  I yelled as Percy picked up our baby and rocked him in his arms. The kids stopped and looked at me. "Can't you see that there was a baby sleeping in here? You woke him up and shot him with one of your darts! Who shot it?" The oldest maybe around seven raised his hand.

"I did it. It was an accident. we didn't think he would be bothered by the noise." He said. I glared at him and he ran out of the room, crying. The other kids followed. I walked over to Percy and he handed me Luke. I squeezed his little body. 

"Gods, Wise Girl. You're scary." he laughed. I laughed and kissed Luke's head. I held him with my arms under his butt and his head on my chest. I moved one of my arms and rubbed his back. 

"You're okay, Lukey. Mommy and Daddy got you." I whispered.

"You guys are so adorable and I love you to death." Percy said as he hugged us. He pulled away and we walked down the stairs. I looked down at Luke to see him sleeping and I continued to rub his back. I could feel all eyes on me. My dad's family smiled while Helen's family stared at me with hatred. The boy was crying and hugging his mother who pointed at me. 

"You, you monster!" She screeched. "You dare make my son cry?" 

"Uh.." I looked around and up at Percy. He wrapped an arm around my waist and looked down at me. I looked back at the woman. "I didn't do anything to make him cry..."

"You're a monster! Casting danger upon our children and making them cry!" She yelled. 

"I never laid a hand on him." I said calmly.

"What did he ever do to you?" She said sternly, hugging her child.

"Him and four other kids woke up Luke by yelling and screaming and laughing. They were shooting each other with nurf guns and I saw a bullet in Luke's crib indicating he was hit. I asked who did it and your son raised his hand. I glared and he ran out." I explained. 

"You made him cry!" She shouted.

"He shot my baby with a nurf gun!" I yelled back. Percy rubbed my back trying to calm me down. She humphed and walked away. Everyone who was inside went back to what they were doing. I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Percy sat next to me and took Luke into his arms. I put my face in my hands and breathed deeply as Percy rubbed a tense spot near my shoulders.

"Hey, everything's going to be okay. We're together." He whispered. I nodded and leaned back into the couch and I heard a squeal. I turned my head and saw my grandmother walking over to us. She sat down next to me and smiled at the sleeping baby in Percy's arms. 

"How old is he?" She asked.

"5 and a half months." I told her. "Do you want to hold him?" She nodded and Percy stood up then gave Luke to my grandma.

"He's so cute! He's so lucky to have you two as Parents!" She exclaimed. One of Helen's relatives that was near us scoffed. 

"Well I have to get back to Gramps. See you two later." She got up and walked outside. i looked out the window and saw mostly everyone out there. 

"I'm going ti feed him then we're going outside. While I'm upstairs go fill that stomach of yours with some snacks." I said as I patted Percy's stomach. He kissed my cheek.

"Whatever you say, Wise Girl."

I got up, took Luke, and walked upstairs.

Percy's POV: 

I stood up from the couch and walked into the empty kitchen. Everyone was outside now. I grabbed a plate and put some carrots and dip, cheese and crackers, and some fruit on it. I started eating as I waited for Annabeth. I finished my food and threw away my plate. I heard the sliding glass door that led to the backyard open. I turned around to see Kiara leaning against the doorway. She walked over to me. She had brown curly hair and Blue eyes. She wore a light pink crop top and short jean shorts with white heels.

"Hey there, Hottie." She said. She placed a hand on my chest and slowly dragged it down. I pushed it away and stepped backwards. "Why don't we head up to a bedroom for some...fun." She winked and I resisted the urge to throw up.

"No thanks. I'm happily married." I replied.

"To who?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Me." Annabeth said as she walked down the stairs. She had Luke in a baby sling on her chest with her right hand on the nape of his neck. Luke had his hands in tiny fists, grabbing her shirt but not pulling. His head was turned to the side so I could see his face.

"Her?! You're married to her!?" She shouted.

"Shut up, Kiara. You'll wake Luke!" Annabeth said sternly.

"Luke? That baby? That's yours?!" Kiara said.

"Yup. Mine and Percy's." Annabeth said. Kiara sighed angrily and walked out the door. Annabeth grabbed my hand.

"C'mon. Let's go outside." We stepped out unto the patio when Annabeth spotted someone with a baby and smiled.  "Aunt Teresa!" A woman with blonde hair and brown eyes turned around. She smiled.

"Hi, Annabeth!" She called. She walked over and turned the brown haired, blue eyed baby around. "This is Kade."

"He's so cute. This is my husband Percy." She introduced me.

"Oh, yes. Hello, Percy. Wonderful to finally meet you after years of Annabeth talking about you." She shook my hand. She turned towards Luke. "And this must be that baby I've heard whispers about. Hello munchkin!" She exclaimed. She stroked Luke's cheek.

"Yeah. This is Luke." Annabeth said. 

"Cute name. I've got to go find my husband. Bye Annabeth. Love you." She said as she walked away. Annabeth turned towards me.

"Gods she's my favorite. Here take Luke." She adjusted the straps and put the sling on me. "Be right back." Then she ran away. Okay then... I spotted Angela and went to go talk to her.

Annabeth's POV: 

I ran to find my brothers when I bumped into two people.

"Sorry." I said. I looked up to see my aunt and uncle. "Oh hey." I've never been a big fan of them.

"Hello, Annabeth." My aunt, Patricia, said. 

"Hi."

"Where have you been living?" My uncle, Louis, asked.

"In New York." I said.

"With your mother?" Aunt Patricia asked, eyes wide.

"Uh, no, Actually-" I was cut off.

"Oh good. That woman is bad news, leaving her daughter on the doorstep." My uncle said. I glared.

"Don't disrespect my mother like that." I said. I haven't told anyone but my grandma. Helen,  and my brothers that the gods were real. 

"So, what grade are you in? Senior in high school?" My uncle said.

"No. Freshman in college. I'm taking online classes  so I can stay home with Luke and Percy." I told them.

"Who's Luke and Percy?" Patricia asked. I pointed at Percy and Luke.

"That baby is Luke and the teenager is my husband, Percy."

"Oh.. are you sure your ready for a family?" Louis asked.

"I wouldn't have married and had a kid if I wasn't. Goodbye." I walked towards Percy.

LINE BREAK---

After an our of talking with people, at 4:00, Helen announced dinner was ready. There was a huge table set up in the yard with about 300 seats. We all went to the patio get out food. I had Luke in my arms, holding him the same way as I did on the plane. Percy and I got in line.

"Do you want to sit down and I can get our food?" He asked.

"No. I can do it." I said as I grabbed a plate with the same arm that I had wrapped around Luke. 

"Alright but if you need help, tell me." He said and I nodded. I grabbed a spoon to put some beans on my plate when Luke kicked in his sleep. His foot kicked the plate out of my hands and it shattered on the ground. 

"Annabeth Minerva Jackson! Clean that up right now!" Helen screamed. My face heated up and tears formed in my eyes from embarrassment. "Right. Now. Or I'll make you clean it up with your bear hands!" 

"Okay. Okay. I'm going." I handed Luke to Percy and I grabbed the broom, sweeping up all the glass. I threw the shards away and put the broom away. I walked back to Percy who had both our plates full and I took Luke. We walked over to the table to see one seat open. "Uh. We need another seat." I said. 

"Uh. No we don't." One of Helen's relatives said.

"Where am I supposed to sit?" I asked.

"Well obviously not in here. Why would we let you sit here?" A different relative asked. I nodded and walked into the living room, hugging Luke as I cried. I looked back at the family laughing and talking together. The family I wasn't welcomed in. I sat on the couch while I cried. I felt Luke being taken out of my arms and a hand being laid on my thigh. 

"Is there anything I can do, Annabeth?" Percy asked.

"Call Magnus. I want Magnus." I sobbed. (bet you didn't see that coming!) I was so sick of Helen's family and half my dad's family treating my like dirt. Magnus, my dead cousin, was the only person in my family that loved me my whole life. He was a demigod son of the Nordic god, Frey. He was dead but could show up places looking alive. Percy nodded, set Luke on the floor infront of me on a blanket, and called Magnus. 

Percy's POV:

I tapped on Magnus' ID. he picked up on the fourth ring.

"Hey, Percy. What's up?" He asked. I sighed.

"How fast can you get to San Fran and Frederick's house?" I asked.

"In no time. Why?" 

"Well we're at a family reunion with the Chase's and Davis's..." I trailed off.

"Oh no. How's that going?" He asked, concerned.

"Well Annabeth's sitting on the couch sobbing. She's asking for you, man." I said as I looked at my wife.

"Okay. Alex is coming too. See you in a bit." e said.

"Bye." Then I hung up. I walked over to the couch and pulled Annabeth into me when I sat down. "Him and Alex are on their way. I love you." She nodded and kept crying.

LINE BREAK---

About twenty minutes later there was a knock on the door. Annabeth had stopped crying but tears still rolled down her cheeks every now and then. I got up off the couch and opened the door. "Hey, man." Magnus and I bro hugged then I turned to Alex.

"I'm a she today if that was what you were going to ask, Seaweed Brain." She said. I groaned.

"Why did Annabeth give you permission to call me that again?" I asked her.

"Because your wife is awesome. Now where's the baby?" Alex said. i pointed in the living room. We walked in the room and Annabeth looked up. She jumped off the couch and launched herself at her cousin. I looked back at Alex who was cradling Luke in her arms. I sat down next to them and looked back at Annabeth who was still holding on to her cousin as he rubbed her back. I smiled.

Annabeth's POV:

I looked up and saw Percy, Alex, and Magnus walk into the living room. I jumped up and launched myself into my cousins arms. He wrapped his arms around my back as I started crying again.

"Hey, it's alright. You cousin's got you. Can you tell me what happened?" He whispered as he rubbed my back. I told him and he tightened his arms around me. "i swear I'll kill that woman and her family someday." I laughed and hugged him tighter.

"I missed you." I said.

"I missed you too." He kissed my cheek. "I'm hungry. Where's the food? I'm missing dinner in Valhalla right now." 

"I don't want to go back in there." I said. He grabbed my hand.

"I won't let them do anything to you. Ether wise they'll get killed by Jack." he said. I laughed.

"Percy, we're going to get Magnus some food." I said. I looked at Alex as she held Luke. "Alex, do you want anything?"

"No thanks." She said. Percy smiled at me then turned back towards Alex and Luke. Magnus and I walked outside and walked to where the food was. When the door shut, heads swiveled around to look at us.

"Who's that boy?" Someone asked.

"I'm Magnus Chase. Annabeth's cousin." Hearing his name my dad jumped up and ran over.

"Magnus!" He said giving him a hug. "What are you doing here?" 

" Hi Uncle Frederick. Alex and I are going to hang out with Annabeth and Percy if that's okay with you?" he asked, grabbing my hand again. 

"That is fine with me." My dad said as he walked away and sat down next to Helen. Magnus leaned into my ear and whispered,

"I still don't know why he married her." He said.

"Me neither." I said. He picked up and plate and I picked up a fork with a shaky hand for him. I thought he reached to grab it but he didn't and I dropped it. It landed with a loud clang. The fork must have been against me tonight because when I say loud, I mean LOUD. All heads turned towards me and Magnus squeezed my hand tighter. 

"If you don't stop dropping things, Annabeth, I'll start throwing everything you drop at you." Helen yelled. My eyes watered as I heard agreements being said. Magnus grabbed his plate and led me inside. We walked to the living room and I walked over to Percy who was standing up taking a picture of Alex and Luke. Magnus sat next to his girlfriend and took Luke from her. I wrapped my arms around Percy's waist from behind and buried my face in his back. He turned around and wrapped his arms around me. He lifted my chin up and stared at me with worried eyes. My bottom lip trembled.

"I w-want to go home." I said.

"Me too." He whispered.

"So, C-can we go home?" I asked as a tear rolled down my cheek. 

"Yeah, hold on let me Iris-message Hermes." he said. He walked towards the bathroom. I walked over to the couple and hugged Alex. She hugged back then pulled away.

"Hey, we're going to go home. So you guys can go now unless you want to stay with my family." I said. 

"Oh gods no. We'll leave." Magnus said. He kissed Luke's head then stood up and hugged me. "Love you."

"Love you too." I said. They walked towards the door.

"Bye, Annabeth." Alex said. 

"Bye guys." I walked outside and towards my dad. "Hey dad, we're going to leave." Then I whispered, "Because of you know who and I'm kinda homesick."

"Okay. Bye. I love you." He hugged me. 

"I love you too." I walked over to the twins and hugged them. "Bye guys. Love you."

"We love you too Annie. Bye." Bobby said. Matthew waved. I walked over to my grandparents and Teresa, hugged them, and said goodbye. I walked into the house and put Luke in his car seat. Percy walked down the stairs with our stuff. 

"Hermes traveled the car and is coming back for us." he said. I nodded. Then Hermes appeared.

"Ready?" He said. We nodded. 

LINE BREAK---

We appeared in the living room around 9:30. Sally was sitting on the couch and was startled.

"Goodness you scared me." She noticed Annabeth's red and puffy eyes. "Didn't go well?" I shook my head. "I'm sorry. You go to bed. I've got Luke." I nodded and gave her the carrier. Percy and I walked to our room, changed into pajamas, and climbed into bed. I put and arm over his waist.

"I love you." I whispered as I closed my eyes. I heard an 'I love you too" as I drifted off to sleep in our bed in our home. It felt so good to be back even if t was only for a day and a half.
