Percy picked me up and threw me into the little pond in the castle of Jupiter's garden. Jason did the same thing to Piper. I could hear Rose, Giselle and Gabriel come out and start laughing at us. Instead of being the good children who help their mother when their fathers threw them into a lake. And the worst part was, Percy and Jason joined them.

Our 13 year olds were the best children ever. I looked at Piper. We seem to be having a lot of these moments, you know when you can look at a person and tell what their thinking.

"Oh so you think that's funny?" I growled.

Percy and Jason gave us a hand for them to pull us out of the pond. I wanted to take it and pull myself out. The fish were starting to get to me, nibbling on my toes. Put I wouldn't be able to put my plan into motion.

I smiled at Percy, the sweetest smile I could muster, and took his hand. He smiled back. Then yanked on his hand so hard that he fell in. Jason was laughing, until Piper did it to him.

Now, as the great parents we were, we taught our children that when someone else was a soaking mess, they should laugh.

And that's what they did. Roll on the floor and wipe their eyes. I looked at Percy. His hair was dripping and sticking to his face. His clothes were soaking wet. But he was still smiling. He and Jason got out.

Percy picked up Rose and threw her in. She swam next to me and stayed there, watching the fish smile. Jason somehow, picked up the twins and threw them into the pond.

We had a huge splash fight.

Water was everywhere. Each of us were soaking wet. I think I could hear the guards chuckling. We stopped and just sat in the pond. I watched as my daughter looked at the fish. She smiled at them. Then laughed.

"Rose, something funny?" I asked.

She nodded.

"The fish, his name is Jack, I think, told me a joke."

I sat completely still. The thing that shocked me wasn't that the fish had a sense of humor, but was that Rose could talk to fish. My 13 year old daughter could talk to fish. I hope that doesn't mean she can talk to the salmon on our plates.

Rose began twirling her finger in the water, swirling it around. Even after she took her finger out, it still swirled around, like a mini tornado. I stared at the swirl. How could she do that? It wasn't like she inherited some magical powers? I called over Percy.

"Yes, Annabeth?"
"Look." I whispered and pointed to Rose's swirl.
"Oh gosh. I-I think Father told me about this. We can talk in the castle. In the library ."

I nodded. And watched my daughter, get up, out of the pond and grab a towel from the maids. She and Giselle were talking while Giselle braided Rose's ink black hair. I sat there a little longer.

Piper swam next to me. She smiled.

"Do you guys want to stay the night here? We're all soaking wet and I don't want you to go home late with dripping clothes."
"Thanks Piper. I guess we'll do it. Rose would love to have a sleepover with Giselle and Gabriel."
"Okay, we've got a guest room and an extra bed in Giselle's room. She can sleep there and you and Percy can stay in the guest room." she wiggled her eyebrows.

I groaned and rolled my eyes. We looked at Rose and Giselle laughing. Gabriel left to play catch with Percy and Jason. They were all smiling. I looked at Piper. She grinned.

"Girls night out? Venus?" she beamed.

I laughed.

"I'm game."

We laughed. Later that night, Percy and Jason were tucking in the kids. They were telling them a story. I caught bits of it as I walked by.

"And the princess was in tower, waiting for the prince to save her," Percy began, "the princess was beautiful, with blond hair and sparkling gray eyes."

I chuckled slightly. And Jason interrupted him.

"No, she had brown hair and eyes that changed color!"

As our husbands fought about how the princess looked like, the children were laughing. I knew they could tell that their fathers were talking about their mothers. Then they began arguing about how the prince looked like. He either had black hair and sea-green eyes. Or blond hair and electric blue eyes. I poked my head in.

"Percy. Jason. Piper and I are going to Venus for a girls' night out. Watch the children."

They nodded and Piper came in. We stepped inside to stay goodnight. I kissed Rose's forehead.

"Night Rose. I love you."
"I love you too, Mother."

Percy watched and pouted. I looked at him.

"Don't I get a kiss too?" he asked.

I sighed and kissed him. He smiled into the kiss.

"Have fun Annabeth. Bye."

Piper and I left for our night out. We took a carriage and left for Venus. During the ride, Piper sighed.

"Annabeth, aren't you happy with your life."
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be? I love Rose and Percy and living with them is a dream."
"I see how you feel. Giselle, Gabriel and Jason are wonderful. But don't you wish that we could live in peace."
"I get it. No war. No more hardships. Just being happy with your family."
"I was kind of wishing for another baby, too."

We laughed at that.

"Me too. I loved taking care of Rose when she was little. Seeing her smile and laugh. I was hoping to relive those moments again." I added.
"What would you want it to be if you had another baby?"
"I want a boy. I don't know what I'll name him though."
"I don't know what I want. I have two twins already. Maybe a girl?"
"What would you name her?"
"Elizabelle. I like the sound of it."

An hour later, we arrived at the pink castle. I stepped out of the carriage. Then my eyes squinted at the person in front of me.

"Annabeth? What's-oh."

Standing in front of us was the second most hated person, holding a knife.

Octavian.

Well, I'm back. Can we all agree on the cover? Now, I'm really running dry here. I need ideas for the next chapter please. And yeah, I'm bored. Does anyone play Candy Crush? Who's POV should I do next? I really need help. Oh and thanks to ThePhoenixPrincess for figuring out the plot. Just don't spoil. Please. Oh and I'm thinking of writing a new story about Annabeth being a famous singer and Percy being her songwriter. And he wants to tell her how he feels and can only do it through songs. Tell me if you want the story or nah.
