"Daddy???" She says as I turned.
"Yeah babie?" I say turning to face her.
"Are you leaving mommy???" She said worried.
"No." I say, "What makes you ask that Sweetheart?"
"I overheard you in the engine room talking about a divorce." She says.

"No. I love your mother." I say, "My parents are splitting."
"Daddy??" She says, "When your finished loving mommy can I marry you?"
I chuckled smiling.
"Your too sweet Annabeth but mommy is mine. I'll never he done loving your mom." I say, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight daddy." She says.
