To theishfudge87 's request, I will be doing chapter 14 in Sally Jackson-Blofis' perspective to celebrate 1000 reads!

"One time, he even burst into tears because Annabeth stepped on an ant. He was blubbering about how the little guy had a family, and a home, and a job. I tried very hard not to laugh, but it was difficult," I confessed to my son's new friend, Calypso.

She laughed, directing her attention to Percy. "So, you've always been the sensitive one out of you two, huh, Perce?"

Percy blushed, something he typically did when embarrassed. I lightly laughed, hoping I hadn't gone too far. I loved my son and treated him well, but I believed that everyone needed to be joked with every once in a while.

"Yeah, yeah," Percy grumbled.

Calyspo giggled and took another small bite of one of my cookies that everyone adored so much.

"Tell her about the time you got lost with Annabeth, Perce," I told him.

He rolled his eyes, a trait he picked up from my niece, before going into a very vague summary of my request.

I scoffed once he finished. "You missed the best part, Percy!" I turned to Calypso, ready to finish the story properly. "While they were climbing into the boat, Percy helped Annabeth get seated and forced her to sit in front so that he could keep an eye on her. Then he adjusted her life jacket for her. While the little couple was on the island, he kept on comforting Annabeth. Well, that's what she told me. He was a total sweetheart."

Percy was so red even his ears were burning. "Mom! Are you trying to embarrass me?"

I smirked teasingly at him. "It's only embarrassing is it's true," I pointed out.

If we're being completely honest, the main reason I shared that story, focusing on those details, was to see Calypso's reaction. I mainly wanted to tell if she was romantically interested in my son, and if she got jealous. Teasing my son was just an added bonus.

Calypso just laughed and grabbed another cookie. I wondered if she was trying to avoid the topic or if she genuinely didn't mind.

"Wow, these are delicious, Sally. You must have high standards, Percy."

Adding together the longing gaze Calypso gave Percy with my outsider's perspective, I figured that the girl was most definitely pining after my son.

Percy laughed, making me question if he was just oblivious or I was reading too deeply into things.

"Anyway, I need to get going."

Calypso stood, as did Percy.

"Alright. I can walk you," he offered, making my chest bubble with pride. He was such a giving boy, and I was very grateful.

"N-no. I'm fine. See you Monday, Percy. Nice meeting you, Mrs. Jackson."

Calypso rushed out of our apartment, causing Percy to furrow his eyebrows with confusion.

"That was strange," he stated.

"No kidding." I hesitated, wondering how many of my theories to reveal. "You said you met her Monday? She seems to like you a lot."

Percy shrugged. "I'm the first person she met here. Maybe it's a phycological thing?" he pondered out loud.

That surprised me. I guess I never fully understood how oblivious my son was. To be honest, we never had talks like this about girls. Taking that into consideration, I took advantage of the conversation taking place then.

I lightly smiled and shook my head. "I mean I think she has feelings for you."

Percy went wide eyed. "What? No way. I've only known her five days. She barely knows me."

"Love is irrational, Percy. I only knew your father a few months before we had you."

"Well, I don't like her that way. I know myself enough to be confident about my feelings," he reassured, grabbing a cookie and biting into it happily.

"Your feelings for Annabeth, you mean," I said, throwing the idea out there to see his reaction.

Man, was I pleased or what?

His mouth flew open and he almost spewed the food out of his mouth. "What?! How - huh? What makes you say that?"

Percy could barely keep track of his thoughts, meaning the concept was knew to him, and that he basically thought I was bonkers. I smiled at the thought.

"Mother's intuition. Kind of similar to how you know whenever Annabeth is uncomfortable or angry."

Percy blushed. "No way. I couldn't like her. I-I can't."

I woke up early Saturday morning and was greeted by my husband's lovely face. I still got giddy over the fact that he was mine. It had been just over a year, and things were still as lovely as when we were newly engaged.

Just as I was about to flee the bed, Paul woke up.

"Morning," I sang.

He smiled at me, making me feel like a million dollars.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Have any plans for the weekend?" he asked me, sitting up.

I nodded. "Yeah, actually, I was wondering if you'd like to have the Chases over tomorrow night. We haven't seen them in a while."

"I don't see why not. Have Percy ask Annabeth. She's as obsessed with him as he is with her."

I giggled, loving how similar our thought processes were. "Good idea."

I got out of bed and padded to the kitchen, where I started up a pot of coffee and began breakfast. About halfway through the bowl of pancake batter, Percy stumbled sleepily into the kitchen.

"Morning," he grumbled.

"Good morning, Perce. Sleep well?"

He shrugged. "Good enough. You?"

"It was fine." I paused to flip another pancake. "I was wondering how you felt about inviting the Chases over for dinner Sunday night. We'd probably have lasagna, with all of the sides we normally have. What do you think?" I asked.

"Sounds good," he replied immediately.

"Great!" I passed Percy a loaded plate of blue pancakes, and he stared at them happily. "Why don't you call Annabeth after breakfast, and see if five o'clock works for them?"

I've never seen anyone eat a serving of pancakes so fast.

About ten minutes after Percy had ran to his room to talk with his best friend, he returned with a happy smile on his face.

"I FaceTimed with her, and they're all free to come," he told me.

I raised my eyebrows. "You FaceTimed Annabeth looking like that?"

He blushed. Percy was still dressed in his usual sleeping attire, which was just sweatpants.

"Hey, I put on a sweatshirt but I just took it off because I'm roasting in here," he defended

I smirked. "Okay, Percy. Why don't you go clean your room a bit? I know it's a wreck."

Percy laughed a little. "Alright. Thanks for breakfast, Mom."

"Of course. Love you, sweetie."

"Love you too, Mom."
