AN: If you haven't read my 'Chase Family Reunion' then you won't understand most of this story.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author's POV:

Three year old Luke was playing with his toy trains while his mom, 22 year old Annabeth Jackson, finished her classes for the day. Annabeth was wearing black leggings, an Adidas sweater, white ankle socks, and her hair was braided down her shoulder. 

Luke was wearing grey joggers with the word 'Hero' on the leg, a white long sleeve shirt, and red socks.Luke stopped playing with his trains and looked up at his mom.

Annabeth's POV:

 "Mommy?" Luke said. I looked up from my laptop.

 " Yes, Honey? " I replied. 

 "Can you play with me?" He asked. I sighed.

 " Not right now. Maybe later. Okay? "

 "Otay. When will Daddy be home?" He asked. I looked at the clock.

 "Uh...in about twenty minutes." I told my son.

 " Mommy! I have a secret for you! " Luke exclaimed. I looked at him with a confused expression. 

 "What?" Luke got up and walked over to the couch and climbed up next to me. He kneeled next to me, put some hair behind my ear, and whispered, I

 "I love you, Mommy." Then he kissed my cheek. I set my laptop on the coffee table and hugged my son.

 "I love you, too, Lukey." I said. He got off the couch and started playing with his trains again. I just watched him with  smile on my face. He looked up and pointed at a picture of Sally, Paul, Percy, Luke, and me.

 " I love Daddy, too. Do you love Daddy? " He asked.

 "Of course I do. I wouldn't have married him or had you if I didn't. Why do you ask?" I asked.

 " I hear big people talking. " He said. 

 "What do they say?" I questioned. What he said broke my heart.

 "They say that you two are too young to be married and have a kid. They say that you and Daddy will split up soon and won't love each other anymore. I don't want my Mommy and Daddy not loving each other!" He told me as his sea green eyes filled with tears. Now hold on, you may be doubting he's only three years old but I can assure you that he is. He gets Athena and my intelligence , so he knows more words and his grammar is okay. 

 "Oh honey..." I said as I stood. Luke goes to 3 -K on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was a Thursday but it was the first day of Christmas break, December 23. Of course I've heard them talking when I walk past them when I pick up Luke but I didn't know he paid any attention to it. I held opened my arms and he ran into them. I stroked his curly blonde head. "Mommy and Daddy still love each other and we always will." 

 " Otay. " He said as he pulled away from the hug. I stood up and he grabbed my left hand. "Good." He twisted my ring around my finger. " They are very pretty. Did Daddy get them for you? " 

 "Yup. On our wedding day." I said. " Daddy has one too. Now, do you want a snack? " 

 "Yeah!" He said as he ran to the kitchen. I followed and grabbed two blue cookies, Sally had made earlier. 

 Percy's POV:

Class was over and my friend Jack and I were finishing putting our supplies away. After we were done I put my laptop in my backpack, zipped it up, and put it over my shoulder.

"So, are you going out for pizza with the guys and me?" He asked as we walked out of the building.

"No, I promised Annabeth I'd come home right after class was done." I replied. 

"Oh, uh why?" He asked. I looked at him.

"Luke." I muttered.

"Oh, yes, the child. The little sweetheart of a rascal." He joked.

"Uh yeah. Anyway, I got to go." I said as I unlocked my car.

"Are you sure you can't come? Your wife can't watch Luke for a little while longer? And when can I meet your little family?" He asked.

"Nope. I promised and we have PTSD from earlier events and I don't want her to freak out. Uh.. sometime after Christmas. We might be going to her dad's. Bye, Jack." I retorted.

"Alright. Bye, Percy." He said. I hopped in my car and drove home.

Annabeth's POV: 

"So, Luke, what do you want for Christmas?" I asked as we finished out cookies.

"Um. I want that big dinosaur that goes, 'ROAR!' Remember Mommy?" He emphasized. I laughed.

"I remember. You put up a little fight before leaving the store didn't you?" I said. I heard the door open and Percy call out,

"I'm home!" Luke's eyes brightened and he ran out of the room. I followed and watched them as Luke ran up to Percy and hugged his legs. He looked up and smiled.

"Mommy gave me a cookie!" He said, happily.

"She did?! Did you thank Mommy?" He asked as he smiled at me in which I returned.  Luke ran and hugged my legs and I ran a hand through his clean, messy hair.

"Thank you, Mommy." He said. "Can I watch Paw Patrol?"

"Yup." I turned on the show and walked back to Percy. I wrapped my arms around him and he did the same to me.  We pulled away and Percy walked into the kitchen, me on his heels. He grabbed a cup and filled it with water, taking a drink.

"Your dad called." He told me. I walked to the cabinet and grabbed a pot, filling it halfway with water. I placed it on the stove and started boiling it.

"What did he want?" I asked as I grabbed the box of Mac&Cheese and poured the noodles in the pot. 

"He asked if we could go to his place for Christmas." He explained. I drained the pot and added the cheese, stirring it." 

"No." I said without hesitation. I grabbed three plates and put the Mac&Cheese on it. I went to the fridge and grabbed milk and strawberries. I cut up the strawberries and put some on all the plates. Then I filled two cups with milk and one sippy cup. 

"Why not?" Percy asked. I sighed and turned towards him with my hands on my hips.

"Because."

"Because why? Give me a few reasons." 

"One, Helen and her family hate me. Two, Luke doesn't know anybody.except for the twins because of face time. Three,  what about Sally and Paul? Four, the plane and drive. Five, remember last time? Six, Luke won't get any gifts from them. Seven, I don't want to ruin our three year old's Christmas." I said. 

"Okay. Okay. My parents will be at Paul's parents for Christmas." Paul's parents were not at that reunion and are super sweet and supportive. "And your dad said he'd pay for the plane an that only Helen's parents and her siblings's families will be there. I said a few reasons as well, Wise Girl."

"Oh, shut up and fine we'll go." I caved. Percy pecked me on the lips and smiled. "Luke! Time for dinner!" Luke bounded into the kitchen. 

"Ooo.  Mac&Cheese!" He exclaimed. Percy helped Luke into his chair then sat across from me on the left. 

"So, Lukey, we're going to Mommy's dad's for Christmas." Percy said. 

"Uh, otay." Luke looked at me. "You never talk about your daddy. And what about Grandma and Grandpa?" Luke had been told about the Greek mythology world but Paul's the closest thing he has to a grandpa.

"Well Mommy didn't have the best relation ship with her dad and Grandma and Grandpa won't be in town." Percy explained. 

"Otay, but I don't know anybody." He muttered, sadly. 

"Don't worry, Honey. My cousin is around your age and Bobby and Matthew will be there!" I said. Luke's head shot up and a wide smile appeared on his face.

"Really?" He shouted excitedly as Percy helped him out of his chair and I grabbed all the dishes and placed them in the dish washer. 

"Yup." I said.

"Yay!" He said, jumping up and down. I chuckled as Percy snuck up behind him and wrapped his arms around his stomach, lifting him upside down. Luke giggled as Percy threw him into the air and caught him. They did this a few more times then Percy set Luke down. "Come on, Lukey. Let's get your pajamas on. 

LINE BREAK---

I zipped up Luke's dinosaur footie pajamas and patted his stomach. Luke ran out of his bedroom and I looked around. Not much has changed besides the crib was replaced with a toddler bed and the changing table was replaced with a dresser. I walked out of the room and into living room. I smiled at my favorite boys playing with dinosaurs on the floor. I sat on the couch and watched. Percy must have said something funny because Luke burst into a fit of giggles. When he calmed down he patted Percy's knee and said, "Ah, I love you, Man." Percy and I burst out laughing. I sat on the floor in front of Percy and Luke sat on my lap and I kissed his cheek. 

"Daddy, do you love Mommy?" He asked as he moved from my lap to the side of us. Percy looked at him, then at me, then back at Luke.

"Of course. More then anything. You are second on my list."  Percy answered with a smile. 

"Good. Mommy told me she loves you too!" Luke smiled. 

"Oh she did?" Percy said as he smiled and winked at me. He turned back to Luke.

"Yup. Very, very much! And that's good because you guys won't ever stop loving each other!" He exclaimed. "Right?" His smile dropping and Percy's dropped too. 

"I'll never stop loving Mommy." He said very seriously as he took my hand. I interlaced our fingers. 

"And I'll never stop loving Daddy." I said, smiling at Percy. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine. I kissed back.

"Ew! No kissing!" Luke yelled. We pulled away.

"Why not? Are you jealous?" Percy joked. 

"No..." he trailed off looking at the ground. While he was distracted I wrapped my arms around Luke, pulling him to me. He squealed.

"Mommy! Let go!" He laughed.

"Nope! You get kisses too." I then plated kisses all over his face and I heard Percy laugh. After I was done Percy and I colored with Luke.

"Wow, that's really good, Mommy!" Luke said. I smiled at him.

"Thank you, Lukey." I said. 

"Mommy! Look! Look!" I looked up and a picture was shoved into my face. I backed up and grabbed it. "It's for you! Do you like it?"

"Like it? I love it! Thank you!" I said as I kissed his cheek. He picked up another paper and scribbled on it. 

"Daddy! This is for you! It's a fishy!" Luke said as he handed the picture to Percy. Percy smiled and kissed Luke's cheek.

"Thank you, Lukey. I love it." He said. A few minutes later it was 8:00 p.m. 

"Luke. Time for bed." I said. He nodded and stood up along with me. He grabbed my hand and we walked to the bedroom. Percy pulled the covers over Luke and kissed his forehead and I did the same. 

"Love you." Percy and I said as we shut the lights off. Luke was already asleep when we shut the door. We walked back into the living room and picked up the coloring supplies. After we finished cleaning Percy laid on his back on the couch and turned on the TV. I laid on top of him, arms crossed on his chest. I felt him kiss my head.

"I love you, Annabeth. Never forget it." He said.

"I love you too, Percy." I sighed. "It feels like it was yesterday when we were on that quest for Zues' lightning bolt. We hated each other at first, annoyed each other to no end, became friends. Then dated for about two years and have been married for four years with a three year old boy. It seems too good to be true." I whispered.

"I know but I wouldn't change a thing. We should probably pack and get to sleep." He whispered back. I looked at him and got lost in his beautiful sea green eyes. We stared at each other for a minute then Percy smashed his lips to mine. I kissed back just as passionately. His right and went to my hair while his left went to the back of my thigh. My right hand was raking through his hair while my left played with the hem of his shirt. Our lips moved in sync. We broke away 15 minutes later before it could get too heated. 

"I love you." I breathed.

"I love you too." He said. We just sat there catching our breath. Once we did we went to pack and go to bed.

LINE BREAK---

After packing, Percy was already in bed, half asleep when I climbed in. He instinctively wrapped an arm around my waist. I sighed and snuggled into my husband as sleep took me over. 

LINE BREAK---

I woke up to giggling and the smell of pancakes. I got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to see Percy flipping pancakes in the pan and Luke laughing in his high chair. I kissed Luke's forehead and wrapped my arms around Percy's waist from behind. "Morning." I whispered.

"Good morning, Wise Girl." He said. "How many pancakes? Luke said one." 

"Um. Two. Please." I said as I sat down at the island, next to Luke.

"Great! The rest are for me!" Percy squealed like a little kid making Luke giggle.

"Morning, Lukey." I said.

"Morning, Mommy." He said. 

"Are you ready for the plane ride today?" I asked. He nodded as he at his pancakes. I stared to eat mine. 

"Thanks." I told Percy. After we were doe eating Percy started to clean the kitchen. "Come on Luke. Let's take a bath get you dressed.

LINE BREAK---

After Luke's bath I put a diaper on him. I picked out some light grey joggers, a black long sleeve shirt that said, 'New York' and blue tennis shoes. I dressed him and we walked into the living room. I turned on Paw Patrol as Luke sat on the clutch clutching his stuffed dinosaur. I walked to my room to see Percy pulling on his socks. I grabbed my Adidas leggings, a maroon Adidas sweatshirt, white converse, and a CHB necklace. Percy was wearing grey joggers, a white long sleeve shirt, black Nike tennis shoes, and his CHB necklace. The sleeves get tight at the wrist. I got dressed and grabbed out suit cases, rolling them to the door. (Luke is sharing a suitcase with me.) Percy came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. 

"Ready?" He asked. I took a deep breath and ran a hand through my curly hair.

"Yeah. Luke!" I said. Luke ran into the hallway and I helped him into his jacket and zipped it up. I put my own coat on as Percy put the luggage and started the car. I picked up Luke and set him on my waist, grabbed my phone, and walked out the door and locked it. I put Luke in his car seat and hopped into the passenger side. Then we started driving to the airport.

LINE BREAK---

Luke held my hand as we walked into the airport. Percy put our luggage on the conveyor belt and we walked towards the security check. "Percy! Annabeth!" We heard someone yell our names. We turned around and saw James and Luke hid behind my legs.

"Hi James!" I said as Percy bro hugged him and I regular hugged him. 

"So, this is Luke?" He asked. "He's grown!"

"Yeah he's three. Luke, Honey, he's a friend." I said. Luke came out from behind me and smiled.

"Hi Luke. I saw you when you were a baby. And now your three!? Wow!" James said. Luke giggled.

"Yeah. I'm three." Luke said. 

"My daughter's ten now. They grow up so fast." James said. 

"Yeah. Well I wish we could talk longer but our flight leaves in two. See ya!" I said as we walked away. After security our plane got called and we boarded. We found our seats and Luke sat in between Percy and me. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen we are lifting in 3...2...1.." The attendant announced. The plane started to lift and Luke let out a whimper. I looked at him to see a tear roll down his face and I frowned. I grabbed his hand.

"Lukey, it's okay."

"Mommy I'm scared." He said. Percy wrapped and arm around him and I squeezed Luke's hand.

"Better?" Percy asked. Luke nodded and then a few minutes later was sound asleep.

LINE BREAK---

We landed, got out luggage, and got into the rental car. We were driving for about two ours when Luke spoke up. "Daddy, I'm hungry."

"Okay. There's a gas station coming up." He said. We pulled into the paring lot and Percy filed the tank while I grabbed us some snacks. I bought pretzels, three apples, and Luke's favorite, goldfish. I walked back to the car and gave the goldfish too Luke.

"Yay! Goldfish! Thank you, Mommy!" He said. 

"Your welcome." I handed Percy an apple and put the pretzels between us. We continued driving.

LINE  BREAK---

I woke up to someone shaking me. "What?"

"We're here Wise girl."

Part two might be up tomorrow because my brother'a birthday party is tomorrow and I'm tired right now.
