WARNING: MAY DESTROY FEELS AND CAUSE UNINTENDED STABS OF PAIN TO THE HEART. IM GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME WRITING THIS.

"Ooh! How about Luke!" Annabeth suggested, flipping the book to a different section. "Oh Silena. Bianca. Zoe."

"First of all Wise Girl, Luke is boys name. Clarrise and Chris named their daughter Silena. And Bianca and Zoe sounds like twin names, you know what I mean?"

Annabeth stared at him. "No. I don't know what you mean."

Percy sighed. "It just doesn't sound like the right name."

"Then what does? Sophia? It means wise." Annabeth said excitedly, looking at another page of the big book.

Percy took the book from her and set it down on the coffee table in front of them. He pulled Annabeth closer and put his arm around her.

Annabeth scowled and crossed her arms. "We still don't have a name, Percy."

Percy buried his head in her hair and closed his eyes. "You're beautiful, you know." He muttered.

Annabeth smiled. "Percy-"

"And your daughter's gonna be just like you. Beautiful."

She laughed. "Alright Seaweed Brain. You can stop that now."

Percy opened one eye and peered at her. "Lily."

Annabeth looked confused at him. "Huh?"

"Lily means beautiful." Percy answered. "Lily Jackson."

Annabeth smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss. "I love it."

"Did I mention you're beautiful?"

The weight on the bed shifted. Percy opened his eyes and a sleepy smile fitted across his face. The dark room didn't allow for much detail but Percy could swear there were little tear tracks running down her cheeks. Her small figure was sitting on the bed, clutching the stuffed toy owl to her chest.

Percy's smile slid off and he sat up properly at the edge of the bed. He took her hand and brought her closer. "Hey, what's wrong sweetie?"

Her lip trembled when she tried to speak.

Percy set her on his lap. He tucked in a lock of blonde hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead. "Did you have a nightmare?" He asked softly.

She nodded her head mutely, tears flowing down her face freely now. She flung her arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder. "I miss her, dad." She whispered.

Percy sighed and hugged her back. "I know. I miss her too."

"Why did she have to go?" The little girl mumbled. She was too young to be so broken. She was only five. "I-I can't remember her, daddy."

"She was the most beautiful person." Percy said, looking into her eyes. They were the same sparkling grey, full of wisdom and knowledge. "She looked just like you Lils, and she loved you so much. She kissed your forehead every night and told you she loved you before saying good night."

Lily looked at Percy with tear streaked eyes. "I want my mommy. Can we bring her back? Ask the angels to give her back daddy."

Percy kissed her cheek and smiled at her sadly. "I will, Lily. I will."

Lily stayed with him that night and slept in his arms, wrapped up in the blanket next to him. She looked so much like her mother.

"Is she asleep yet?" Annabeth asked, lifting the blanket up a little.

"I think so." Percy whispered back.

Annabeth sighed and kissed her forehead, running her hand through Lily's hair.

"I told you she'd look like you." Percy muttered.

Annabeth laughed and leaned over her one year old daughter to kiss his cheek. "And you were right about her being beautiful too."

Percy closed his eyes and smiled, taking her hand in his and resting them on Lily's smaller one. "Something permanent."

Annabeth lay her head down on her pillow too and laughed.

Her last laugh. And it was the most beautiful of them all.
