Percy's POV

Olympus

"Percy?"

I froze.

"Percy?" My father asked with hope. I slowly moved my eyes away from Artemis to look at my father, when I did that I heard a gasp and him slowing de-aging. 

"Dad." When I said that he leaped from his thrown reverting to his human form and gave me a bone-crushing hug which I gladly returned.

After a few minutes, someone cleared their throat making us release from our hug.

I looked around the Thrown room and found my loving uncle crackling with lightning. 

"You dare kiss my daughter, Sea Spawn?!" Zeus yelled summoning his Master Bolt.

I said what any guy would have in my situation.

"Yep." All of the occupants in the room either facepalmed or laughed exempt the unhappy Drama Queen. 

"Why you little-" He started only to be cut off by the most unlikely Goddess.

"I approve of them," Hera said with a nothing motherly like smile.

"Hera?" Zeus asked bewildered.

"I agree brother," Hestia said with a smile. She made her way off her thrown towards me in her human form. As she made her way towards me I saw she had sorrow in her eyes. 

"I am sorry Percy," Hestia said hugging me. 

"It's okay mom," I said.

Silence.

"I'm sorry I thought you just called Hestia mom," Poseidon said shaking his head. 

"Because I did."

Artemis's POV

~~~Flashback~~~

Paris, France

For our 3 year anniversary, Percy took me to Paris. 

I know cheesy.

He and I roamed the city all day visiting historical landmarks and of course the Eiffel Tower. It would have been the best day just going to the Eiffel Tower, but of course, Percy wanted to take it a bit farther. 

He didn't want to be like everyone else.  

He didn't want our relationship to end up like all of our family had. 

He wanted up to last forever. 

And so did I.

After we had left the Eiffel Tower we started to walk around and explore. We ended up making our way to a bridge where people were being proposed to and locking their love. We had arrived at the Pont des Arts. 

I looked around and saw thousands of locks. And through the mist, I could see most of them had been unlocked meaning their love didn't last. 

I was sad and mad about all those broken promises when Percy took my hand and led me away from the bridge. When the bridge was finally out of sight he looked at me smiled.

"It's not your fault all those promises were broken Artemis." He said softly. 

"I know," I whispered.
