Annabeth

And I buttdialed Percys number. He answered. Not knowing he did. I heard the end of my video, telling him happy birthday. They somehow found it. Wow.

Being I was doing something I listened to bits here and there.

"Thank you.' I heard Thalia's sarcasm. I was living at home again and fucking hated it. I wanted to go back more than anything. I'd do anything to go back. But I'm not stupid. They'll never let me come back. "Because I wasn't already crying."

And the next thing I heard was this from Percy:

"We fucked up, didn't we?"

"Yeah." Grover agreed.

"Little more than usual." Luke added on.

I placed the phone on the stand next to my bed as I sat on my bed. Starting to cry for the third time today.

Fucking great, right?

"What the...?" I heard Percy say and he got louder. "Did ai buttdial or something?"

"Who?" Hazel asked.

"Annabeth." Percy answered. "But I mean... Are we agreed here? I mean, were pretty much the whole council."

They must've all nodded their heads.

"Annabeth." I heard my ex boyfriend say. "You there?"

I calmed myself down best I could.

"Hello?" Percy asked as I picked up the phone.

"Hey." I said. "Yeah, I'm here. What's up?"

"I'm assuming one of us buttdialed and the other had answered." The son of Poseidon told me as I could hear him leave the room with the phone. "But nothing too massive. But Piper's Dad sent her a link. Saw the video. Thanks for that. It's one way of a guilt trip."

"It wasn't..." I said. Trying not to cry after hearing all of them again. "Supposed to be a guilt trip. It was supposed.... Be... Goodbye."

And the crying continued.

"Fuck." I said. "That's the third time today."

"It's okay." Percy told me. He sounded different but in a good way. Generally happier. "I have no idea what you heard out of that or payed attention to. But it was Thalia, Luke, Grover, Nico, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, Leo, Reyna, and myself in there. We were wondering bring hell we let Luke back in... If maybe you wanted to come back? I got the text, I saw the video. It's your choice. Just let me know when-"

"You're joking." I remarked as the Twins came upstairs from school.

"No I'm not." Percy told me. "Why would...?"

"Hell yeah I'll come back." I explained. "I know I won't be councilor or shit but I don't really care. But damn. Has it been 3 years since the war? Are we that old?"

"Well were alive." He remarked. "But um... Nico said he's willing to shadow travel and get you whenever you're ready. If you want to do that or take a plane whatever. Your choice. We'll be waiting."

"I've always been curious about Shadow travelling." I told him. "Give me like 20 minutes, Seaweed Brain."

"I'll tell him, Wise Girl." Percy told me, hanging up and I felt so much better.

I had my best friend back. I'm not stupid. He'd never date me again. We had a run and it didn't work. Whatever.

Still my best friend, though.

20 minutes on the dot I was ready to go. Said goodbye to my family. Nico there on time.

"You ready?" The son of Hades asked me. It's hard to imagine that there was one point that he liked Percy when he acted like he despised him so bad. I'm pretty sure he's done growing. But he was 5'2" and had put on a few healthy pounds over the year he needed. Getting better with out a doubt.

"Let's do this."

We ended up in Percys cabin where everyone was. They all seemed really fucking happy and it was refreshing after my parents and brothers in California assists arguing and threatening divorce and taking the boys and its just nice to see something different.

What threw me off is that 3 people were engaged. But like these people were all single when I left so I'm clueless as of who they're marrying. But I have a feeling Thalia and Luke are two of them and Percy found other person.

When I asked this was my response:

"Figure it out."

Really?

I deserve it, though. They invited me back.

But later on that night it was down to Grover, Luke, Percy, and myself. Thalia had just left.

I was talking with Grover in the main area as Percy was telling Luke something and handing him something I couldn't tell what it was.

"Do you know?" I asked the satyr.

"Yeah." He told me. "But it's fun to watch you flustered."

Okay. Insulted.

The glory of mirrors.

They thought I couldn't see so they hinted.

Percy and Luke kissed. And I knew they sent me that photo. But after I was already upset because my whole family was upset and got me upset. That rant was how I wasn't in the mood. I didn't even look at the photo. But they told me it was a fake.

So...?

Maybe they were lying.

Or they got together later.

Either way, they got together and going to get married. And good for them, too.

Then I noticed something off. Usually you'd think that you hold somebody by their hips. But instead Luke was feeling  Percy's stomach...

Weird. I won't ask.

But the next day they told everyone that are engaged. Proposed yesterday so I'm totally out of the loop. As of Thalia. Her and Clarisse were together. I didn't notice Clarisses ring.

After finding that out is when Piper pulled me into another room.

And instantly she had her lips on mine. Me in utter shock.

"You have no idea." The daughter of Aphrodite informed me. "How long I've been wanting to do that."

"Shut up and just do it again." I told the beauty as our lips pieced back together.

Whatever happened with her and Jason wasn't my worry right now. Because I had her with me. Right now. Here. A moment that would last a lifetime.

I love her. And I'm not afraid to say it.

Percy

It took us three days to decide on a house in Camp Jupiter. 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom. A really nice living and dining area along with a really nice kitchen. A basement with a home theater and a shelter thing. Then a room for whatever. If you want to practice training or study or something. Being year around we decided why not look in New Rome. We both just finished our last summer's but its nice to still be around the area with all the people. I sent photos to my mom and Paul. They thought it looked nice. As of size.

But dam. The thought of me being pregnant...

It blew my mind.

I'd be 7 months along at the wedding. So we won't do the Honeymoon right away. We found something. A cruise over to Europe and you're given a week to do whatever in a chosen country or two in Europe and you're brought back on the same cruise. Once the kid is like 6 months is when that is so we can trust somebody to watch them.

We just found I was pregnant not a week ago, okay? Shut up.

"Now what room is the kid gonna get?" I asked after we decided out room.

"Hm..." Luke said. "I think the one at least until they're older. Closer to us. So if they cry in the middle of the night we'll know."

"Smart." I said and went down Baby room on paper and taped it on the door. We were calling everyone about the baby tonight and telling them before they come and visit tomorrow to see the house.

But anyways, I scheduled my first appointment with the doctor. First ultrasound. In a week and we were both really excited. No, we weren't trying for a kid. But that's just how it worked out and I'm glad it did. I really couldn't love my life any more right now.

"I love you." I told Luke as we climbed onto the air mattress we have for just tonight. "Night.'

"Night." The son of Hermes replied, putting his right arm over me and on top of my stomach as he gave me a kiss on my temple. "Love you guys both, too."
