After Percy's cold shower he walked out and the blue chocolate chip filled pancakes were ready.

So much better than cereal in Percy's opinion. Especially because he didn't have to make it.

Though the food was good and everything was nice and had a warm home-y environment Percy still couldn't wrap his mind around living in an alternate universe.

He couldn't believe he was married. He couldn't believe he had kids. He couldn't believe he had lost his virginity and he didn't even remember it. The thought made him blush and stuff his face with more food.

Annabeth after cleaning up sat down with a pancake on her plate and started eating. "So what do you guys want to do today?" She asked and the little girl tapped her chin thinking for a moment before gasping.

"Let's play board games!"

"Noooooo." Luke groaned in annoyance. "I hate board games."

"Well board games hate you." The little girl said sassily before sticking her tongue out at him.

"Zoe!" Annabeth exclaimed and Percy knew her name now. 

"It's not nice to say-"

"Say what?" Percy asked before sipping his coffee. "I approve of what she said. I see no harm in it." Percy said and Annabeth glared at Percy as Zoe smiled.

"Ha!" Zoe pointed at a sulking Luke and laughed making him glare at Zoe.

Percy laughed also with Zoe before he caught Annabeth's glare making him stop and freeze.

Her eyes weren't clear anymore. They were stormy grey like a storm was brewing inside them. And it wasn't because she was sad. Percy gulped and felt a knot twisting in his gut making him feel weird things.

Percy looked down and asked Zoe to stop laughing before he apologized.

"I'm sorry, you're mother's right. You shouldn't say things like that to your brother. Now apologize." Percy said and Annabeth's face softened. 

Zoe looked at Percy in confusion before sighing and evacuating her seat before going over to Luke's seat where he sat watching her with a raised eyebrow. "I'm sorry Luke." then she gave him a big hug squeezing him so tight his eyes widened making Percy snicker before getting another tiny glare from Annabeth making Percy stop and swallow down the lump of laughter in his throat.

Annabeth had no heat behind her glares, and something about it made Percy's gut burn and knot up.

 "So," Zoe said. "What do you want to do today Luke?" Zoe asked so innocently cute making Percy smile along with Annabeth as they watched the two kids.

"Uh, can we go see Phoebe?" Luke asked before his ears turned red. "I mean and her family of course."

Annabeth sighed, "I don't know Luke. We don't know what they're doing." 

"I do. I mean, they usually go to the park on Saturdays." Luke gulped and Percy raised an eyebrow before looking at Annabeth who looked back at Percy and shrugged her shoulders lightly so only Percy would notice telling him she was just as confused as he was. Well, for this particular situation.

"Please?" Luke asked and Annabeth let out another sigh as Percy watched Luke look at her with anticipation filled eyes.

"Fine," Annabeth broke down. "Go get your shoes on."

"YAY!" Zoe exclaimed before running out of the room to get her shoes as Luke sat there smiling at Annabeth.

"Thanks mom." Annabeth nodded and Luke left to get his shoes on to leave.
