Chapter 1

My New Life

-Percy Jackson-

I looked in the mirror and saw myself in my suit. I'm marrying Annabeth today. The thought kept on going through my head. The Annabeth I have been through so much with will be my wife.

As soon and Juniper and Thalia had seen Annabeth after that whole proposal, they had been creeping her out with all of the wedding plans. They chose the colors sea green and stormy grey for the wedding. Stormy grey's my favorite color, and I guess sea green is Annabeth's.

We quickly adopted Aaron and Adela after we announced it. I mean, why wait? Aaron was going to be one of the groomsmen while Adela would be a bridesmaid.

I looked again at my suit. My vest that I wore under was stormy grey, as would the rest of the groomsmen. I just had a different flower in my jacket than the others. That was the only significant difference.

"Percy! Get your butt out here! You don't want to be late for your own wedding?" The voice I recognized as Thalia yelled. I could see the smirk on her face.

"Yeah yeah. I'll be right out." I said, and I knew she could hear me. That woman had super hearing.

"WELL HURRY!" It was really fun making Thals mad. We had a brother/sister relationship. Some days we'd get along, while the others… let's just say I need a new lamp.

I smiled and saw my white teeth. I was ready. This was one of the last moments I would be a bachelor. Not that I was complaining, but it did shock me. A year and a half ago I would never think of having a wife. Even less, kids. But I guess that changed, huh?

I opened the door to see a impatient Thalia. Her hands were on her hips and she was tapping her foot. Hasn't anyone taught her patience?

"I'm ready." As soon as I declared that, she started dragging me to her lightning blue Porsche. What a Thalia car too.

-Annabeth Chase (for now)-

I looked in the full mirror. My dress hugged all my curves and floated down my sides gracefully. We were having a beach wedding, and I had my dress look like a calm waterfall flowing down. There were hints of sea green in it, but you could only see the specks if you looked really close. It accented the feel perfectly.

My hair tumbled down in blonde curls and I wore two baretts holding my hair back, which were sea green. The bridesmaids dresses were sea green also, and it just was all together perfect. I now know why Thalia and Juniper put waterproof mascara on. I couldn't handle myself and let a few lonely tears escape my eyes.

"Annabeth, dear? Its time." I heard Sally Jackson say. She has been supportive to me through this whole process. Percy had himself a wonderful mother. That just makes me wish my mother could be here today.

I smiled and saw my pearly whites. I was most defiantly ready. Percy would be my husband by sunset tonight. I would be Mrs. Jackson.

I walked to the door, hearing the clumping sounds of my sea green all star converse. Perfect. Now, if you thought I would wear high heels or flats… you're wrong. I'd be caught dead in those. I stuck with my new converse I bought for this special event.

I opened the door and saw a smiling Mrs. Jackson. Heh. It would be awkward calling her Mrs. Jackson after sunset tonight… but she has been nagging me on calling her Sally.

"Give me a spin." Sally said, cueing me to give a slow 360 spin, so she could get all angles. But when saw her face, it wasn't a smile… rather a frown.

"What's wrong? Is my dress ripped?" I started hyperventalaiting. I couldn't go down the isle now! My wedding was ruined!

Sally gave me a reassuring smile and said, "No, nothing like that. There's just something missing." I gave her a confused look. But it was only then that I noticed who was behind her.

My father.

-Percy Jackson-

I got out of her car, I swear that I was going to die. Thalia was mad. "Are you crazy?" I asked in disbelief. Who drove like that? Oh… yeah… Thalia did.

"Nope. But I'm pretty sure Annabeth will be if you aren't at that alter on time." She gave me a wicked smile before heading to the set up for our wedding. And as soon as she left, another had to come.

"Are you ready to give up your freedom?" Nico asked, patting me on the back. I could tell he was joking around, but it shocked me. Was I ready? Of course I was. I'm talking about Annabeth and my future here.

"I thought I would never say this… but yeah. I am." Nico smiled and gave me another pat on the back.

"Well then what are you waiting for then bro? Let's go get you married!" I smiled at Nico's idiot-ness and followed Nico to the groomsmen quarters.

-Annabeth Chase (As I said, for now : P )-

"Dad? What are you doing here?" I asked. I ran away from him a long time ago… he treated me like a monster. But… why is he here?

"I needed to walk my little girl down the isle." He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I mean, it was, but at the same time… I thought I hated him. And now when I saw him it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.

"But… why?" I asked, almost speechless. He didn't need to come out here, even less get dressed up.

"I missed you. And when Sally here told me that you were getting married to Percy. She also told me what happened with Luke. I'm so sorry baby girl… please forgive me." I looked at Sally for advice and she had tears in her eyes. She smiled at me and nodded.

"I forgive you daddy. Please just accept Percy though. He's way better than Luke has ever been. Not to mention he's taken a bullet for me too..." I slowly stopped rambling and looked at my dad. He smiled and I could tell he accepts him.

I gave him the largest hug I could muster, and kissed his cheek. "Good. Because I wouldn't want to leave you a second time."

Sally, my dad, and I hopped into Sally's husband Phil's prius, and we were off to the beach.

Once we got there, I breathed taking in the sea air. It was the perfect place to have a wedding. Sally took me to the Bridesmade quarters and Juniper saw me. She ran and gave me a nice hug, careful not to mess up my dress or hair.

"Percy is going to be flabbergasted when he sees you." Juniper giggled, and we looked in the mirror that we brought for the last minute purposes. Juniper looked stunning too. Grover would be flabbergasted when he saw her.

I closed my eyes and started to think about my future with Percy. We've discussed me getting a job in his unit, and it turned into one of the larger fights we've had. What do you expect? Two strong willed people both wanting different things, yet madly in love? Yeah. There would be fights.

But they'd always end with me crying and Percy immediately settling up on me and apologizing. But I knew as much as he did that I would never give up.

I didn't know when Thalia brought Adela in here, but I felt someone give me a hug from behind with hair that smelled like apples. The kind of shampoo I bought for my daughter.

"Are you ready An-mom?" She asked me and I knew it was still hard for her to remember to call me mom, not Annabeth. That would be too awkward for me… the girl I adopted calling me Annabeth. No, I wouldn't allow it.

"Yeah." I said smileing down at her, "I am defiantly ready."

"Good, because its time!" She squealed and I laughed. Adela.

"Let's go Annabeth." I heard my dad say, and I linked arms with him, preparing to walk down that isle made of shells.

Aaron and Adela walked down first, and five long seconds later Juniper went down with Grover. The next five seconds was for Thalia and Nico. I was next. I breathed fast in shallow breaths.

"Breath little bee. It's just fine. Percy's at the end of that isle." I felt tears running down my cheeks. I wasn't good enough for Percy… he deserved better. Before I knew it the wedding march stopped and I heard gasps from the audience. I just ruined my life forever.

I heard my dad stand up from where he crouched next to me and run down to isle. Seconds later, I heard him back with three more footsteps.

"Annabeth. Oh God, Annabeth." I heard Percy gasp and take me into his arms. I was sobbing by now.

"I-I'm not good enough f-for you!" I sobbed, careful not to get his shirt wet. He kissed my head and rocked me back and forth.

"I was worried I wasn't good enough for you. I think we deserve eachother. We've been through so much crap in our lives… it would be crazy for us to let this day pass. You will be Annabeth Jackson. I can stand by your side forever, protecting you. And you can protect me from those nightmares like you have been." I smiled and looked up. It was true. He told the truth. I kissed his cheek.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

-Percy Jackson-

I ran back down the isle and people settled down. It was all back on track. Annabeth just had… some complications. I was surprised I didn't do that, rather she did. I was the weaker of the two of us.

Canon in D started again, being played on a black grand piano and a violin. Annabeth walked down, her eyes sparkling from the sunset. She was gorgeous.

When she got down the isle with her dad, her father placed her hand in mine saying, "I give you my blessing Perseus." I smiled and nodded, leading Annabeth to the man who would wed us… or in other words my Father.

We said our vows, and when it was time for the rings, our hands were almost too shaky to actually put them on. Infact, any other given time I would just give up putting them on, but somehow I did.

"I now pronounce you, Mr. and Mrs. Perseus Jackson. You may now kiss the bride." My father preached and I took that as my cue to take her into that breathtaking kiss I've always dreamed about.

Annabeth was finally my wife.

HAH! Hope you liked that. Just in time too, I have to go to a party. Chao!
