The Wedding

Percy looks at Annabeth as she walks down the aisle with her father, her stepmother (not Jenniffer) is crying, and Annabeth looks at her and gives a small smile.

Annabeth's hair that used to look like a birds nest (in a good way) over the years had grown into silky curls that flowed all the way down her back. Her hair was open, her grey eyes looked more pretty than ever.

The vows start.

'I do,'
'You may now kiss the bride,'

As Percy and Annabeth share a small but loving kiss, Piper is crying. Nico and Will are smiling. Hazel and Frank are beaming and a few pearls of tears drop down Hazel's eyes. Every one of them were married by now. Callie and Leo being the first ones to get married.

Jason on the other hand couldn't process the fact that Percy and Annabeth were getting married, even after six months of the announcement. He simply sat there with a slightly surprised face.

Estelle, a freshman highschooler, was sitting with her boyfriend, James, and they were going to to go early for prom night later. Piper was sure that they were going to win prom queen and king. And she was always right when it comes to this.

'I called it first!' Callie said to Percy and Annabeth as the newly wed couple walked down to accept congratulations by the guests.

Annabeth walked to the friends.

'Gosh, I really can't wait to have some quiet time with you guys,'

A Family

'Perry!' Annabeth yelled. 'Come down! It's time for middle school!'

Perry was short for Persephone. Perry had features of her father, but also the soft face of her mother. Her eyes were somewhat a mix of sea green and grey.

She loved books, like her mother, but also was a strong swimmer, like her father


'Oh well, Perry, you seem to be getting pimples,' Ariana guffawed.
'At least I look good even with pimples, unlike somebody,' Perry looked at Ariana pointedly.

Ariana flushed. She had blonde hair and green eyes. She was a high school Freshman. Ariana always had a strong face.

Ariana didn't like books a lot, but she loved learning.


'Mom!' Andrew yelled. Andrew was in kindergarten. 'Mom I dropped my macaroni!'
Annabeth grumbled, 'PERCY! Weren't you supposed to feed Andrew?'

Andrew simply giggled. He looked just like his mother, but with the sharp features of his father as well. And he definitely inherited his love for the sea from him.


First day of school was always a disaster, according to Annabeth.

'Mom? I could take Andrew to his school,' Ariana said.
'That would be great, honey, I'm late for work,' Annabeth pecked her daughter.

Perry simply fiddles with her headphones (she had a love for music) and puts down her phone.

'You're not taking your phone to school?' Ariana scoffs.
'I'd rather be productive than fuss over boys on social media, like you do,'

Ariana turned red again. Percy laughed with his mouth full.

'I'd count your father as the fourth child in this house,' Annabeth muttered.

Now it was Percy's turn to go pink.

'Percy, I'm going, make sure you drop the kids to the bus stop.'
'Yeah, yeah,'

Love till Death

'Annabeth,' Percy said. 'You said you'd love me till death, right?'

They were in the hospital, both of them with white hair. All their children were grown up and successful. Persephone was an author, and also took interest in agriculture. Ariana was an actress. Andrew was also an actor.

'Of course,' Annabeth sobbed and held his hand.
'Well, now that I'm going away, you won't love me anymore, right?'
'Percy! Of course I will!'
'But the pain and grief will consume you, I don't want that to happen, it's my last wish.'

Annabeth didn't know what to say to this. But she could only cry.

'I love...' Percy started. His eyes grew distant, his chest stopped moving.

Annabeth could only cry.

'I love you too, I love you,'

I'll see you soon

Annabeth was reading her hospital reports, she looked at the stars.

'Oh, Percy,'

The stars were bright and the sky was clear.

'I'm sure you're trying to read my reports,'

She couldn't hear anything, but Percy was laughing wistfully. How smart Annabeth was, even after all these years.

'My time is coming,' she got up from the chair in the balcony.

Annabeth always talked to Percy, every night, just to let him know that "loving him till death" meant loving him until his memory died. And his memory would never die.

'It nears every second,' Annabeth continued. 'Well, good-night.'
'Good night,' Percy said.

She couldn't hear his voice. She took one last look at the constellation of Gemini.

'I'll see you soon,'


She fell into an eternal slumber that night, and she met Percy again.
