Percy

What? Who is this guy to think he can take my Annabeth away from me? Yes, he is her father but he has not done a very good job at it. Heck she ran away when she was 7 so she could get away from him and he didn't even look for her! I wanted to be a better father than him. I wanted to be a better father than Poseidon! 

She and I both had fathers who were never around and I wanted to be there for my kid. And he was about to take both Annabeth and our child away from me! This was making me mad. 

I looked over at Annabeth and saw tears rolling down her cheeks. "If you won't come willingly I will come get you." I heard her dad say. She looked at him for a few seconds and said "I'm not leaving. I want Percy to be a part of this. No, I need Percy to be a part of this." She said with power. I was proud. "Then I'll be there by tomorrow morning. Goodbye." He said and ended the message.

We sat in silent shock for a few minutes. Then Annabeth started to cry. I wrapped my arms around her. "Percy, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. This is my fault. All of it." 

I pulled away and cupped her face with my hand, wiping tears away with my thumbs. "How in the world is it all your fault? Annabeth this is something we did, something we made together. I honestly wouldn't go back and change it. I love you and I love our baby." 

"But Perce you never wanted this. Neither of us did. And my dad..." 

I interrupted her. "Annabeth, yes we did not plan this, but I want this now. How could I not want this? And don't worry about your dad. He can't hurt me. And I'm not going to let him take you and our baby away from me. Never." She nodded and leaned into me. 

"I love you Annabeth. More than anything else in the world." I whispered into her hair. 

"I love you to." She whispered back.
