Mortals Meet Percabeth/ Percabeth one-shots

I thought you loved me, Wise Girl

Percy POV

Annabeth screamed at me, in front of our child, Charlie Beckendorf Jackson, "Maybe you would know more about Charlie if you didn't spend so much time out!" She yelled.

I froze, I knew Annabeth could be short-tempered, but, when we were married, had a child, and in front of him? I looked at her, tears welling up, and the tears spilt out. Annabeth seemed to realise what she had done. "Percy, my gods, I'm so sorry, please I know I was wrong-" I just stared at her, crying my eyes out.

"This isn't the first time it's happened, Annabeth. Every day you scream at me, and I don't even know why I forgive you. I thought you loved me, Annabeth. Don't you see how much I care? I Guess not." I left, a suitcase in hand, and left to Piper and Jason's house. 

I heard a yell,"Mom! Why did you do that?" "Look, Charlie, I know I was wrong, but Percy is always out and I feel left out because he doesn't really care." I stopped in my tracks. I didnt' go out that much, just three times a week, but very late, training the kids at CHB. "Can't you see, Mom? He loves you, he-he-loved you! You're so mean to him, Mom! I'm wondering if you actually loved him."

 I heard Annabeth scream,"Charlie, please! Come back! Percy? No! Come back, I'm sorry!" The bang of a door and footsteps, as I registered Charlie running up to me. I crouched and caught him in my arms. He said," Why is Mom so mean?" I sighed and looked down, too painful to think about her. Charlie said,"I'm sorry, Dad. But, where are we going?"

I stood up with him beside me, and made a split second decision. "We'll spend a while in my father's palace, okay Charlie? We'll catch up with him, and then we'll sneak back in to the house, alright? We can't make Anna-her worry too much." I said. Charlie replied with a questioning tone,"But, dad, Mom is so mean to you. How can you still care?"

I fidgeted, I knew this would come up."Listen Charlie, I still do love her, just sometimes I feel she doesn't love me back because it's always me apologising. We've known each other since we were 12, and that counts for a lot, especially since we have risked a lot for one another, and my fatal flaw is personal loyalty. It's a sort of bond that can't be broken, but it hurts more when I get hurt emotionally, because that's my flaw." I explain as quickly as I can. As I concentrate, I evaporate into mist, as well as Charlie, and arrive at my Father' palace.

The rest was a blur, tears and explanations, comforts and chatting. I checked the time on my watch. I give a yelp. It's 4:26 am. Man, we stayed late. I latched onto Charlie and told him softly, starting to cry again,"Charlie, we have to go back." He shook his head. "I don't want Mom to hurt you again!" I smile a little. "No one ever said she was going to know we were back." I say smirking.

Charlie smiled, and frowned. "But what happens if she yells again, when she finds out?" I think, and say,"I'm leaving for two nights and we'll see. But it's hard. I've known her a Long time, and it's hard to know she yells Everyday. She never used to yell so much. Maybe it's my fault........." I rant. "No, Dad, it's not. You know that." Charlie says, resting his hand on mine. I nod.

"Goodbye Son." Poseidon says." Goodbye Father." I say. Charlie joins in and says,"Bye, Grandpa!" He grins. Poseidon laughed and said,"Bye, Charlie!"

I evaporated into mist.

I reappeared with Charlie at the back of the house. I hear crying from our bedroom.

I heard Jason say, "Annabeth! Why do you yell at your husband? What has he done?" "Annabeth Jackson, what the hell are you thinking when you scream?"

"Gods, Piper, Jason, I'm so stupid! I keep yelling at him, and he doesn't deserve it! I don't know what's happening. I'm opening my mouth and my brain just malfunctions! He does everything. And more, then what I blame him for not doing." Annabeth wailed. I mist travelled up to Charlie's bedroom.

Thud.

Oh, crap. They heard us.

The door opened, revealing a slightly angry Piper and Jason, and a puffy eyed Annabeth.

"P-P-Percy? C-Ch-Charlie?" She runs towards me and Charlie, but I mist travel with Charlie, and use the water to create an invisibilty shield around us. "She collapses on Charlie's bed, and begins to sob. "I'm seeing things! And even if I'm not, they don't want to be near me! I screwed up so badly!" She yells, her voice raspy. 

I suddenly feel alright. Yes, Annabeth yelled, but I could see how I could try and help her through that phase. I realise it was also partly my fault, and Charlie's. I sigh, and release my shield.

I hug her from the back, and Charlie, hugs her from the the back as well. She whirls around and sees us. She chokes up. "My gods, Percy, Charlie, I'm so sorry. I screwed up, and I know you don't love me anymore but-" I capture her lips in a passionate kiss, lifting her up into our bedroom, she pulls away.

"I'm sorry!" She says. I smile at her lovingly. "It's okay." I Whisper, and continue kissing her.

I know marriage can be hard, but with love, everything turns out right.
