"How the hell am I supposed to look him in the eye, knowing that I may have to see the light leave his eyes soon enough? Doesn't he have the right to know that he may never see his mother in a white dress, never have a chance to give her hand to Paul? Shouldn't he have a say in how he spends the last few months of his life?" Annabeth demanded.

"His sixteenth birthday is less than a year away, Chiron. It's nearly certain that he is the child of the prophecy!" She concluded, her voice cracking at the end. 

Annabeth let the tears flow freely this time, the guilt of knowing too much heavy on her conscience.

*****

This tells the story behind Sally and Paul's wedding. 

It is set just before the winter holidays after the Battle of the Labyrinth. The quest of 'The Sword of Summer' takes place simultaneously with this story. Stays true to the book as much as possible, with a lot of added details.

Second story among my series of short stories named 'Beyond the Books' but can be read as a standalone.

26 parts Complete Mature
Discontinued - Sorry, loves. Annabeth Chase grew up chasing the dream that she would be happy forever, without a single issue or argument or broken heart. She had her mother, her best friend Percy, her black puppy named Mrs O'Leary... She thought life was complete, perfect. Percy Jackson grew up chasing Annabeth. Ever since they were kids, he wanted to be the one boy to make her smile. Most times, he was. He was happy, with his best friend, and his mom. But he lied. Annabeth didn't know what he felt, and he wouldn't tell her. The first time Annabeth had her heart broken, she went to the first boy to make her smile. Percy was the only one who still made her smile for a few days. They made a secret pact, one they both thought was silly, in later years... If neither of them were married by the time they were twenty-five, they would marry each other. *** On Percy's 25th birthday, Annabeth found her fiance cheating, a week before the wedding. Until that day, when she curled up with Percy, a beer in her hands, she forgot about the pact. She forgot about the silly pact that made her smile and laugh at herself for making it. Until that day, she didn't realize why she made it, and she didn't realize why Percy had bothered to agree... When they both realize the truth, will the run to each other's arms like Percy once dreamed, or will the girl who hated Annabeth with a vengeance get in the way? (_Warning: There will be mature scenes in this book. Read at your own risk. Like, seriously, there is gonna be a lot of serious smut in here, and it's probably gonna be shitty, but I hope you enjoy it if u can, anyways_)

No, she doesn't work at the architecture firm of her dreams, or any architecture firm, and she hasn't been in a steady relationship since she was a teenager.

He'll even buy the next round. ᴘᴇʀᴄʏ ɪꜱ ʀᴇɢʀᴇᴛꜰᴜʟ. Pining after a love from ten years ago does that to a guy. He's become a shell of the hero he once used to be. His fatal flaw has become his downfall. He's turning down job opportunities to care for his mother, spending his nights watching Wheel of Fortune, and eating leftover lasagna. Maybe a New Rome-style vacation is just what he needs to find himself again. ᴡɪʟʟ ɪꜱ ᴛʜʀɪᴠɪɴɢ. His internship at the hospital is amazing, his roommate is awesome, and he's not regretting his decision to move to LA. However, a trip to New Rome goes wrong when ghosts from his past threaten his new lifestyle. He'll have no part of it. Is this his optimistic nature, or his inability to commit? Ten years have passed since the war against Gaea and the giants, so everyone's married with kids, right? Wrong. This isn't one of those sunshine and smiles and Perca-babies all the time stories.

I could give you a sob story about how tough Cressida Lynn's life has been, but you're not here for that. You're not here to hear about how terrible her mother treated her and how she only got her first birthday present at age nine or how no one outside her cabin liked her. No. You're here to hear about how her life changed the summer of her 12th birthday. The summer when Poseidon's son came crashing through the camp borders after he'd killed the Minotaur. You're here to hear about how they found the Lightning Thief. You're here to hear about how they ventured through the Sea of Monsters. You're here to hear about how they withstood the Titan's Curse. You're here to hear about how they fought in the Battle of the Labyrinth. You're here to hear about how they defended the Last Olympian. However, I must warn you that this journey is not for the faint-hearted for each quest is more treacherous than the last. And it is most certainly not for mortals. But, should you find yourself feeling brave, should you be a demigod in a past life, a present life or a future one, then I invite you to join me on this adventure. #1 in hades #1 in greekgodsandgoddesses #1 in lukecastellan #1 in titanwar #1 in dionysus #1 in pjofandom #4 in zeus #4 in seaofmonsters #9 in kronos #10 in labyrinth #12 in percyjacksonandtheolympians #17 in greekmythology #23 in annabethchase #36 in poseidon (Lightning Thief - Last Olympian) (Disclaimer: All rights go to the legendary Rick Riordan, I only own Cressida and any original scenes and dialogue I've written.)

But a twist in the middle of summer make things go from heaven on earth to complete destruction. One sunny afternoon, Percy gets summoned to Olympus by his father. Naturally, Annabeth follows. When they arrive, Poseidon tells them that he want the 2 of them to go on a question in California, to retrieve a demigod.

Now it was the next summer, and 15 year old Hali was living the dream in Southern California, occasionally going on different quests for her father.
