The beach looked beautiful tonight. Well, maybe it didn't, but with Percy controlling the waters, I would never see a water storm again. Although the sea was very pretty, Percy's eyes were prettier. Percy always said that my eyes were the most beautiful on the planet, but I could argue big time. Looking in them now, as we held hands, walking down the beach, I knew I could tell him anything. So I did, I told him everything.
"Percy, I need to tell you something. You see, this isn't just a regular date, this is something way more import-" "I know." He cut me off, " It's our 7 year anniversary. I met the most amazing woman that I would ever meet, seven years ago from today."
I couldn't believe it. I had been so wrapped up in all of this baby nonsense, that I had forgotten that today was our anniversary! I couldn't believe this. If I couldn't keep track of one stupid date! How could I keep track of a... of "Baby!" I burst into tears. I sat there crying for 5 minutes when I finally dared to look up. Percy was gaping at my stomach. Wait why... Oh my gods!
"What?" I asked, already knowing what was wrong. I had said baby out loud. Yes I had told Percy, but not the way that I had wanted to. "You just said... and your stomach... and." He was stuttering, barley able to speak. I looked down again, but then I felt Percy's arms around me. "Look up." he said. I did. He was looking at me with his sea blue eyes. I didn't know what he was doing, but then it dawned on me. He was on one knee.
"Percy! What are you doing?" I asked. "Just listen" He pulled the ring out of his pocket, "Annabeth, I was planning on doing this last moth. I have been waiting for this moment to arrive, and this baby will just make everything better. It will make our relationship stronger than ever before. So, with that said," His eyes were glistening with what looked like tears. That's exactly what my eyes were filled with. "Annabeth Chase, will you make me the luckiest man and half-blood alive, and be my bride?"
