Percy was exausted. He spent all day doing Annabeth's list of chores. There was one more on the list.
45: Give Annie a bath.
Percy shuddered. This is gonna be bad.
"Annie honey! Come to Daddy!" Percy called.
Annie bounded up all happy and energetic. Percy grabbed her and ran into the bathroom. Annie put up one heck of a fight. He finally got ger undressed and was about to plunge her into the tub when all the water moved aside. She pulled a Jesus move.
"Do you really think you could give me a bath?" Annie said smirking.
The water transformed into a sabertooth tiger and ran straight to Percy. But it froze. The tiger started to spaz out. Then it turned back into a blob of water and fell back into the tub.
"Good try Annie. But remeber I can control water too."
Annie glared at him. She had that penetrating stare just like her mother. Just as Percy was taking her out a huge dog made of water pushed Percy into the tub. But unlike Annie, Percy wasnt wet. Annie inherited his ability to control water but not his ability to stay dry. Percy got out of the tub without a drop of water on him. Annie pouted.
"He dressed her and let her go. The second he let go of her she ran out the room like one of Zues' lightening bolts. Percy laughed and looked up. He saw the picture he and Annabeth took on their wedding day. She looked so beautiful. Just staring into those gorgeous gray eyes that day, it was a miracle he could say his vows.
Percy was staring at the photo when all of a sudden he was staring at the real Annabeth.
"Babe I need you at Olympus!" She said.
Percy knew better than to ask why.
"Ill be there in 20 minutes." He said. "Blaine!" Percy yelled. His oldest son poked his head in the room. "Can you babysit the others?" Percy asked.
"Sure Dad. No problem."
"Thanks" said Percy. He ran outside and called all of the children. There is Annie, who is 5, Sebastian who is 8, Annabell who is 12, and Blaine who is 15. They were mixed up in a weird way. Blane and Annabell were the spitting image of Percy and Annabeth. But then Annie has Percy's hair and Annabeth's eyes while Sebastian had Annabeth's hair and Percy's eyes.
"Now im going out and Blaine is in charge. You will listen to anything he says." Percy told them. "You too Annabell." He reminded. She liked to feel that she had to listen to none but herself.
Percy ran to his car and jumped in. Then drove over to the Empire State Building. He ran in and said to the guy behind the desk
"600th floor."
The man looked up. "No such floor sir."
He must be new. Percy looked him squarley in the eye. "I dont think my uncle Zues would be pleased that you kept me waiting."
The man dropped the card 3 times in hisn haste to get it to Percy. Percy went In the elevator and swiped the card. Then pressed the button for the 600th floor. He stepped out and walked fast towards the Throne room. Annabeth was waiting for him.
"Whats wrong? " He asked her.
"Nothing's wrong. But someone would like to see you."
Percy walked into the Throne room and was face to face with Poseidon...technically he wasnt face to face considering Poseidon was 15 feet tall. He shrunk down and gave Percy a huge hug.
"Long time no see Dad." Percy said. Poseidon had been in his sea palace for that past month making renovations. Percy kind of missed him. Over the last few years they got a really close connection.
"Hello son. Said Poseidon, beaming. How are you? How are my grandchildren?
Percy and Poseidon talked for a really long time. By the time he and Annabeth were ready to leave it was getting late.
"I hope Blaine put Annie to bed or tomorrow is going to be hell." Annabeth said.
Percy laughed. "Yes. Yes it will." He took Annabeths hand as they walked toward their cars. Percy often looked at Annabeth and just thought, he was the luckiest guy on the planet.
