Chapter 10

Hera was presiding over the wedding. Percy and Tessa stared into each other's eyes. What Hera was saying was kinda boring and Percy looked up when Hera said his name.

"Do you, Perseus Achilles Jackson, take this woman, Theresa Diana Kanellos-" Hera started to speak before Percy and Tessa cut her off at the same time exasperatedly, "Tessa/Percy!"

Hera sighed, "Alright. Do you, Percy Achilles Jackson, take this woman, Tessa Diana Kanellos, to be your wife in the holy state of matrimony? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon her your heart’s deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Percy smiled. "Tessa. From the first time I met you, in the middle of a fucking army, I knew you were my One. Through all of the blood and monster dust I knew. I will always know and that's why, I'll never leave you. One because I love you. And two your family will kill me and dance over my fucking grave. I'll always be there."

Tessa grinned and Hera spoke, "Do you, Tessa Diana Kanellos, take this man, Percy Achilles Jackson, to be your husband in the holy state of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and continually bestow upon him your heart’s deepest devotion, forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?"

Tessa nodded, "I absolutely fucking do. Well my love, I can't argue with your vows because they're really fucking true. Percy. I knew you were mine since you sang Angeles to me after fucking pinning me down and-"

People gasped.

"Forcing me to get medical help for the wounds I had after the battle. Even after the psycho bitch tried to molest you I still wouldn't give up nor leave you. Percy I swear never to leave you. I love you and also I think your mom would kill me. I could probably take Poseidon in a fight but not your mother. She's one badassedly scary woman. No offense Mrs. Blofis!" Tessa said.

"It's Sally! And none taken!" Sally spoke. Percy chuckled along with everyone else. Because it was true.

"Bring forth the rings." Hera said.

Nema and Mrs. O'Leary padded up, fur clean and shiny, holding, gently, little velvet pillows in their mouths. Nema held the ring for Percy while Mrs. O'Leary had Tessa's.

Tessa picked up Percy's ring. It was a simple band of silver iron and black steel. Etched in the inside of the band was, ~My Handsome Tourist~

Percy took one look at the inside of the ring and doubled over laughing. People loomed confused but Percy said, "Inside joke between Tess, Nyx, and I."

Percy sobered up and when Tessa slid the ring on his finger, picked up her's. Tessa's ring was made of black iron and looked like tendrils of darkness reaching up to grab a pointed ruby. Etched on the inside was, ~You Must Be Something Special~

It was Tessa turn to laugh and say, "I am."

Percy slipped the ring on her finger and Hera shut her book, saying, "By the power invested in me, the Olympian Goddess of Marrige, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Percy gently kissed Tessa who gripped him tight. Hera cleared her throat, breaking the two apart. Percy shrugged, "To the party!"
