Our Lady of Tartarus *Indefinite Hiatus*

big day

A/N
If you noticed that I posted and then unposted, it's because I messed up the order of things and had to write this chapter before I published the next one. Also the above pic is her dress.

Annabeth stood in front of the full length mirror admiring her dress. Sally, Piper, her stepmom, and a begrudging Thalia had taken her shopping as soon as they heard about Percy's proposal, but waited to have it fit until a week before to account for the pregnancy. It was beautiful and it was something she never could have afforded on her own. Fortunately, being Aphrodite's number one reality television drama had its perks. She gave them an unlimited budget for the wedding provided they didn't ask any gods to stop her from watching. It was an easy deal to make, and now here she was about to marry the love of her life.

She took a deep breath and ran her hand over the baby bump that, at three months, was just starting to show. She was extremely upset when she first found out, but after she was accepted into the best school in new rome on a full scholarship and the gods gave them compensation, the stress of having to provide for another human was relieved.

She was still terrified about being a mother, but not having to worry financially allowed her to worry about other things like parenting, baby names, and designing their house. As a wedding gift the hephaestus cabin offered to build them a house that wasn't just the Poseidon cabin. After some convincing she agreed, provided she got to make the plans.

"Knock, knock," Sally's voice came from the other side of the door, "you okay in there sweetheart?"

"I'm fine, just thinking, and admiring Piper's hair and makeup skills." She went to open the door for Sally. Her face lit up when she saw her daughter in-law.

"You look beautiful," the tears were already starting to form in her eyes, "The dress fits perfectly and you, you're just so gorgeous."

"Don't cry," she handed her a tissue, "Please, if you then I'll cry, and we can't have that until I'm at least halfway down the aisle."

"Sorry dear. I came to tell you that everyone's ready when you are."

"Already?" time was flying by so quickly.

"Do you need a minute?" Sally put her arm on her shoulder to steady her, "I don't think anyone will mind." Annabeth took one last look at herself in the mirror before shaking her head.

"No, I'm ready." She let Sally guide her into the front hallway of the big house.

She was greeted by the smiles of her wedding party. Her maid of honour; Thalia. her bridesmaids; Piper, Reyna, and Rachel. Her flower girl; Hazel, despite Leo's constant begging to take the role. Her ring bearers; Bobby and Matthew. Athena insisted on being there, and she had asked Chiron to walk her down the aisle. Despite the mended relationship with her father Chiron had still been there for the ten most important years of her life.

"You look beautiful," Chiron said as she approached him, "You've grown up so much." She gave him a small smile.

"You ready Annie?" Piper asked.

"Yeah," she nodded.

"Okay," Piper got everyone into line, "Sally, you go sit down and tell the band to start."

One by one her bridal party started walking down the aisle, and before she knew it, it was her turn. She took a deep breath and held on the Chiron's arm to steady herself. All of her nerves were building up and she had to resit the urge to run the other way. It was all worth it when the doors finally opened and she saw him standing there, on the altar. He smiled at her like she was his world. After that her nerves calmed and all she wanted to do was run into his arms.

When they got to the end of the aisle Chiron sat down and Annabeth took her place beside Percy in front of Poseidon, who had insisted on officiating the wedding. Obviously there was some backlash from Athena and some concerns about them ruining the wedding, but eventually they agreed to be civil for Percy and Annabeth's sake. As she stood facing him Percy smiled at her and reached over to brush the hair out of her face.

"For those perfect photos," he mouthed and rolled his eyes.

"Shut up," she mouthed back, "Your dad's trying to talk."

"Sorry," he smirked.

"Now for the vows," Poseidon said a little louder than necessary to get the crowd's attention. "The bride and groom have prepared their own, so now I will give Annabeth the opportunity to start."

"Percy, we have been through everything together. Two wars, Tartarus, Puberty, and so much more. You were my first kiss, my first love, my first everything, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Now you get to be my first husband, and hopefully my last. I promise to go through everything else that comes our way with you, because no matter what happens I want you by my side."

"Perceus Jackson do you agree?"

"I do." he reached over and slipped the ring onto Annabeth's finger. While he was doing that he whispered in her ear, "even though you made more jokes than I did."

"Now you may state your vows."

"Wise girl, I love you so much. You are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before bed. I also think about you most of the time in between. When Hera sent me to camp Jupiter I never forgot you, and I promise not to ever forget you. I won't ever forget how perfect, caring, competent, and amazing you are. No matter what happens I will always remember how important you are to me because I never want to lose you."

"Annabeth Chase do you agree?"

"I do," she slipped the ring onto Percy's finger.

"Then you may kiss the bride." Percy immediately pulled her into his embrace and kissed her passionately. She could faintly hear the crowd cheering, but all that mattered right now was him. When they pulled she looked at his smiling face and into his eyes. In that moment she knew everything was going to be okay.

After the wedding they went to their new house, since any honeymoon would probably end in a monstrous disaster. Percy swept her into his arms and carried her through the door. He also carried her all the way to their room before setting her down on the bed.

"So, my beautiful wife. What would you like to do this evening," he asked.

"I could think of a few things," Annabeth smirked, sitting up on her knees.

"Oh really?" He took off his and went to stand in front of her. She barely had the chance toned before his lips were on hers and they sank back into the bed.

A/N

Sorry for sucking at updates, It is the end of the quadmester and I had a lot of work. I wasn't planning on writing a wedding, but I think it turned out pretty well. Also I wasn't sure about writing a smut scene, but I can do a bonus chapter if you guys want.
