My cousins last name is hayfield so that's where the last name came from. I am not very good with last names.

I look over the questions that I have to ask Percy Jackson. Hold on. I am Natalie Heayfielde. I have red hair that cascades down to my waist. It is currently pulled back in a braid. My baby blue eyes sparkle in the sun. I am a newscaster. Today, however I am a spokeswoman for the Olympics. I have to interview the 10-time gold medalist (this year alone. 64 gold medals in swimming over all) for swimming. He walks up to me and we shake hands. "Percy" he says. "Natalie." I say. The camera goes on and I plaster a fake smile across my face.
"So, Percy how does it feel to beat another record?" I ask. "It feels good, Natalie, It feels good. It helps me to feel that every year I grow more and more." He awnsered. "What are your plans with Annabeth for you son, Luke's wedding?" I ask. Percy's son, Luke Jackson, recently got engaged to a family friend Reyna Grace, Piper and Jason's daughter. "Well, we are leaving the plans up to the brides mother Piper Grace, as she is a world-famous wedding planner." He grins wildly. "Yes but will all of your, as you call it, 'seven' be there?" I ask remembering last year when he shouted out to 'the seven'. "Yes. The seven is Me, Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase-Jackson, CEO of Athenian Architecture, Piper Grace, world-famous wedding planner, Jason Grace, your comrade, a newscaster, Leo and Calypso Valdez, of Leo&Calypso's Repair Entertainment Café, Frank Zhang, bull fighter, and Hazel Zhang, of Pluto's jewelry. We have known each other since we were teenagers. We all consider each other family and no one is ever left behind."  He answered with great enthusiasm. "Would you like to say anything to all the people who are watching out there tonight?" He smiled. I handed him the microphone. "I would like to sing a few songs that I wrote for my beautiful wife, Annabeth Chase-Jackson." He grabbed a guitar.
He began to sing.
"As the wind passes over the sea, I pull you closer to me.
From the way you could read anywhere to the way that you let me play with your hair. Oh, I wish I could've been there for you but I never knew, how much you needed me. Oh, I was blind to the love in my heart. Thought it was there from the start. Time was just ticking, ticking, until I was there for you. I wanted to be there for you. I just never knew. Oh, I wanted to swim your grey eyes. As stormy as a cloudy night. I want to pass through the ocean without a care in the world like I wanted to be there for you. I should've been there for you. Because I am in love with you. Oh, I wish I could've been there for you but I never knew, how much you needed me. Oh, I was blind to the love in heart. Thought it was there. It was there from the start. Time was just ticking, ticking, until I was there for you. I just never knew."
He finishes his song and I can feel tears in my eyes. "Happy Birthday Annabeth"
The next song begins.
"Time is ticking down as I watch you fall asleep. Your hair in your eyes, you were zoned out so deep. Reading is your passion, just as I love to swim. But time still stops. When you look at me. I still don't believe that you choose me. Luke, Jason, Will, or Leo. Yet you still choose me. Oh honey do you know. If only you knew...
I would  go to hell and back. I lose my mind when I'm with out ya. I go insane when I'm without ya. I would eat a poisoned pack. That's why I can't be with out ya. I loose my mind when I'm without ya. I love you to the moon and back."
He smiles weakly. "I love you" he whispers into the microphone. I am about to burst into tears. He hands me back the microphone and I can see that he is on the verge of tears himself. "Well, wasn't that touching. If that isn't relationship goals, then I don't know what is?" I say. We cut my scene and I begin to slowly cry. This is just me. I can't imagine what this must be like for his wife.
I go to see if Percy is here still, so I can congratulate him. I walk into a room and see Percy and Annabeth hugging tightly bot crying, neither wanting to let go.
