Luke was pacing the halls. It was 7am on Friday moming, Amelia was coming for dinner, but he hadn't told one person yet. His mother.

Luke stopped breathing when the bedroom door opened, but instantly let out a shaky breath when he saw his father.

"You haven't told her yet have you?" Percy whispered while he eyed his son. Luke' silence was answer enough. Percy shook his head and chuckled.

"She's in a good mood this morning. Good luck, son." Percy placed a hand on his son's shoulder as he headed for the stairs. Luke took a deep breath as he knocked on the door. He faintly heard his mother call him in

Luke walked in cautiously, seeing his mother come out of the closet dressed for the day.

"Hi, baby." She walked over to Luke and kissed his cheek before sitting at her vanity to put her makeup on.

"Hi, Mama." Luke stood there watching her.

"What is it, Lukie?" Annabeth looked at him through the mirror, pausing what she is doing

"Can I have someone over for dinner tonight? With all of us?" Luke asked quietly.

"Sure." Annabeth started applying her mascara. She didn't know why Luke was being weird. She finished and turned to her oldest son again. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Her name is Amelia, I really like her."

Annabeth slowly stood and walked over to her son. It annoyed her to no end that he was already taller than her.

"What's her last name?"

"No, Mama. Please just meet her before you launch an investigation, or order an assassination on my girlfriend?" Luke pleaded, Annabeth looked in his eyes, sighing before nodding her head. Luke smiled before kissing his mother's cheek and thanking her as he ran out of the room.

"Did you know about this?"

"What?" Percy looked up from the book he was reading at the kitchen table.

"Luke having a girlfriend and keeping it from me." Annabeth turned around to look directly into Percy's eyes. He sighed knowing this wouldn't end well.

"He told me this week. He asked how he should tell you." Percy set his book down and walked to Annabeth who turned around to continue cooking. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "He was just nervous, love. This is his first girlfriend, but you're the first woman he ever loved. He wants your approval." Percy kissed her cheek.

"Fine. I will be civil. But if she hurts my son..."

"You will be there to pick up the pieces." Percy pecked his wife's lips before grabbing his keys to go pick up the kids.

"I expect more of what I got this morning for good behavior!" Annabeth yelled to Percy who turned around at the door to wink before closing it behind him.

Annabeth was muttering under her breath as she walked into the kitchen. She had everything ready, and Percy should be home soon from shuttling kids to their after school activities. The youngest two were in the living room watching tv when she heard the front door open.

"Daddy! Look at the picture I drew!" Bianca ran to her father with a huge smile. She stopped when she saw a stranger behind him, "Who are you?"

"My name is Amelia. What's your pretty girl?" Amelia smiled at Bianca softly.

"Bianca." She smiled shyly before turning and running to her mother wanting to be picked up. All of their children were as tall or taller than Annabeth. Even at 11, Zoe was the same height as her. Bianca was small for her age. She seemed to be the only Jackson child that was taking after her mother. She also looked like Percy wasn't even involved in the making of her. Annabeth simply copy and pasted.

—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi Mrs. Jackson, thank you for having me. Amelia reached her hand out to Annabeth with a smile. Annabeth tilted her head slightly. She seemed genuine and that was confusing to Annabeth. She smiled back none the less and shook her hand with her other arm still holding Bianca.

"No problem at all. It's nice to meet you." Annabeth watched Luke take Amelia's coat and hang it up. She was proud his father's values had stuck.

Annabeth set Bianca down to wash her hands for dinner and headed back to the kitchen to finish plating everything. "Can I help with anything?"

Annabeth turned to see Amelia standing at the kitchen island playing with her fingers.

"I think I'm pretty much ready. Just have to carry everything out." She calmly stared at the teenager. Amelia was trying not to look as intimidated as she was by her boyfriend's mother. "Tell me about yourself."

It wasn't a question.

Amelia's eyes went wide but she recovered quickly. "Umm I don't know what you want to know. I'm nothing special"

"Don't sell yourself short, sweetheart."

"Umm well I like to read, I like art and music. My favourite subject is history. I ride horses and play a lot of sports. I have 2 younger sisters and am very protective of them. I want to be a teacher when I'm older. I love kids. And I really like your son." Amelia blushed crimson and she smiled. Annabeth returned the smile.

"You sound busy. And you still make time for Luke?"

"He is important to me."

Annabeth smiled. She wanted to hate this girl. Everything in her told her that no one was good enough for her children. She also thought that this was too young and they would never last. But who would have thought the daughter of Athena and son of Poseidon would fall in love,

"My children mean everything to me. Don't hurt him."

Amelia nodded, "I think it would hurt me more to see him hurting."

The pair grabbed all the food and carried it to the dining room. The whole Jacksons' clan started filing in. Annabeth grabbed Luke' arm and lead him to the kitchen. Handing him the salad bowl she gave him a warning.

"Do not hurt that girl. You treat her how you want your sister's future boyfriend to treat them. Yes?"

"Yes, Mama"

"Good. Let's eat." Annabeth walked away acting like nothing. Luke slowly smiled. Did his mother just approve of his girlfriend?
