Third P.O.V
An invasion was happening in the streets of New York. Glass windows were shattered, people were screaming and trying to get away from whatever they seen. Y/n and Connor, the power couple of Camp Half-Blood, were back to back fighting off monsters. They were protecting each other while giving praise to encourage.
After they fought off the wave, they gave each other a peck on the lips as confirmation that each were fine. They hugged briefly before they said their last words.
"I'll take east, you take west. See if anyone needs reinforcements or a hand to heal the fallen," Y/n said with determination set deep on her face.
"You look so beautiful when you're determined," Connor said with a cheeky smile, while caressing her cheek. Y/n chuckled with a dirt covered face. "And your laugh, wow. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"I'm already your girlfriend, goofball." She then kissed him deeply before they split off. "I love you, Mr. Stoll."
"Love you more, Mrs. Stoll." Then, Connor ran off into the raging battle.
First P.O.V
Along the way, I sliced a few monsters to dust. I had earned a few cuts and bruises after Connor and I went separate ways. I was only hoping that my beloved Stoll was okay.
As I was running, I heard a wail. To the side, on a cracked sidewalk, laid a woman and what I believe is her child. The girl couldn't be but four as she shook her mom's shoulder.
I sprinted over to her and got on my knees. A piece of debris stuck out of her mother's abdomen. There was so much blood, and so little I could do.
I applied pressure to the wound, but it didn't stop the bleeding, this woman was dying. The girl looked behind me and screamed. I turned and immediately slashed the monster to a golden powder.
"Mommy," she whimpered. "Mommy please wake up."
"She's gone sweetie. You're mommy's gone." The small child clutched onto me like I was her life support. "Where's your father?"
"I don't know." She continued to cry into my dirty orange camp shirt. "Where am I going to go?"
"You're going to come with me. I'll take care of you."
A horn gave a loud sharp sound, saying that the invasion was over. That made me quickly pull in an Apollo camper, telling them that the girl's mother had passed. Then, I picked up the girl and start sprinting.
"Connor! Connor, baby where are you!?" I called with the small child in my arms.
"Y/n!" I heard the distant voice of my boyfriend.
I turned to my right and seen him bolting over to me. "Connor!"
When he got close, he threw his arms around me and the small girl. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips before seeing the child in my arm. Connor bent down to get face to face with her.
"Hello, I'm Connor and who might you be?"
The girl shifted in my arm. In a small voice she replied, "Penelope."
"That's a pretty name. How old are you?" Connor grabbed her little face in his large hands, cupping her cheeks.
"Four," Penelope squeaked.
Connor squished her cheeks together and blew a raspberry. "Four!? You're a big girl, huh?" Penelope giggled.
"Uh huh." Her face lit up, tears soon forgotten.
"I bet you're smart."
"Yep! I can count to twenty!" Connor poked her stomach and she let out a yelp.
"That's a big number!" Penelope laughed at his exclamation. Connor pecked the small girl's cheek before turning back to me. "Are we taking her to Camp Half-Blood?"
"Yeah, if she's not a demigod, I'll grant her entrance. Later, we'll talk about what happened," I whispered the last part.
"Okay, babe." He kissed me before going off to find Travis.
*Time Skip*
The girl was indeed a demigod. I didn't even have to grant her access. Though, as soon as we got there, I gave her a bath and fresh clothes. After the bath, she fell asleep in my bed.
I sat next to her as she slept, and stroked her black hair. I refused to let her go to the Hermes cabin. Over the time I found her to now, I've grown fond of the girl.
The sun set a warm glow around my cabin, highlighting her pale skin. Her long lashes tickled her cheekbones as she softly snored. A knock on the cabin door got me out of my trance.
The door opened and in came my handsome boyfriend. "Hello, my love." He smirked and sauntered over to me.
I rolled my eyes playfully. "Hey goofball." He hugged me, then gave the girl a soft peck on the forehead.
"You're really going to take care of her like you're her mother, huh?" He poked my cheek. "What're you going to do when she gets claimed?"
"Continue to care for her. Penelope lost her mother in a battle she wasn't prepared for. Yes, she'll have siblings that'll care for her, but I already have this bond with her." I glanced at the peaceful child and touched her cheek. I absentmindedly smiled. "I'm already afraid to let her go."
Connor sat next to me and laid his head on my shoulder. He reached out for my hand and started playing with my fingers. "Well, I'll help you take care of her Mrs. Stoll." (Btw, they're 17 like Percy.)
"Really, Mr. Stoll?"
He nuzzled his face into my neck. "Really. This is now our little family."
