Leo

I sprinted across the camp, Frank, Percy, Jason and Nico in close pursuit. We ran past the big house, to the strawberry fields to the large stage to the far edge of the property.

Will Solace was walking past when he noticed us. "Hey, shouldn't you be-" said Will but I pushed past him, there was no time to stop and chat.

Even from where we were, I could see the scoul on my friends faces. I really screwed up this time. Annabeth and Piper stood at the entrance, glaring at us. We all stopped in our tracks, breathing heavy. "Oh you are in big trouble mister" Annabeth said, before swatting me upside the head.

"What the hell is on your face?" exclaimed Piper as she stepped forward to examine my face. "A tattoo" I muttered. Piper raised an eyebrow.

"I don't want to know" she said turning to face Jason before she then swatted him upside the head. "Hey!" Jason yelled. "Thats for not watching him" she scouled. "But-" Jason protested but Piper wacked him before he could say another word.

"You may want to get out there" said Hazel who was behind the curtain. I gulped. I'm screwed. I cannot believe this happened again. 

Percy and Jason came up behind me as we walked to the door. Thalia was waiting for me. "Don't screw this one up" said Percy, patting my shoulder. "I say this in the most loving way, if you hurt my sister, I'll kill you" said Jason from my other side. "Please do" I said, straightening my tie. 

"You're on" said Hazel. I nodded before opening the doors. I walked down the aisle, my boys (except Jason who had been choosen to walk Thalia down the aisle) behind me. At the end of the aisle, Chiron stood proudly. I took my place to his left. I took a deep breath as the music began to play, one by one, the girls walked down the aisle, each with a big smile on their face. 

I gulped when the final face appeared across the room. She looked absolutely stunning. Thalia walked down with such grace, even in her converse sneakers. Her long dress flowed like the wind as she walked, each step her smile grew. 

Her dark hair was pulled back in a bun, she wore little makeup not that she needed any. Jason was on her arm, giving me a wink. When she reached me, Jason handed her off as I took her hand. Jason leaned in to my ear. "Don't you dare hurt her" he whispered. I nodded, too focused on Thalia in front of me to care. 

"We are gathered here today to join these two in holy matrimony. As I have found with these things, the ceremony's tend to get shorter and shorter every time so I'll get right to it. Leo Valdez, do you promise to protect Thalia Grace, to cherish her, to love and care for her?" asked Chiron. 

I looked Thalia right in the eye, her big sky blue eyes sparkled making me melt inside. "You bet your horse ass I do" I said without skipping a beat. Thalia chuckled as well as the rest of the crowd. Chiron sighed looking at Thalia. "And do you, Thalia Grace, promise to protect Leo, to cherish him, to love and care for him?" asked Chiron. 

"Oh hell yeah" she said causing me to laugh. Chiron just rolled his eyes before saying "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the - oh, you're already doing it, okay" muttered Chiron. 

Our lips met, sending shocks throughout my body. I felt complete, at home with her. At this moment, nothing could make this anything but perfect. I pulled away, "I love you" I whispered. "I love you too" she replied. 

We both let go, turning to face the crowd. Our son, Thomas sat in Piper's arms. I reached out for him, taking him into my own arms. He may only be a few months old but he brought so much joy to my life. I kissed the top of his head and he giggled/spit with joy. 

Everything was going to be okay.

Thalia

The next day, Leo and I just laid in bed all day with our son Thomas. He was just so cute, I had no idea how empty my life was before he came along. He was the perfect mix of Leo and I, with Leo's dark skin and my jet black hair. His eyes were the same shade as my sky blue. 

He put on quite a show when he was born, he came out flying, literally. He freaked out the nurses whenever he caught himself on fire. When we brought him home, we had to both baby and fire proof the whole house. 

"Want your binky?" I asked looking down at our son. Leo held him as I laid his blanket over his tiny little arms. Thomas squealed with joy and I laughed, kissing his little tummy. "We did it" Leo said looking up at me. I smiled, "We did, we really did". 

The End.

***Wow, I never like ending books but I think that one ended on a high note. Okay I am starting my Percabeth part 2 book and another book of your choosing. Your choices are "Frazel" or "Solangelo". I'll probably do both but its just a matter of which one I do first so tell me in the comments what you want! Thanks so much for reading, this book has been a bit of a wild ride. It took me only a month to write it because I enjoyed it so much. I cannot express to you how much I love you all for reading this, it means so much that you would even read this piece of crap let alone get so involved with the writing and creating of it, you guys means so much to me and I love every single one of you. Gods, now I'm getting emotional so I'll wrap this one up. 

I love you demigods -Izzy
