A/N: Thalia was adopted by Sally after the Titan's curse.

Third person POV

"Mummy, when is P-wercy gonna get here?" Sally's three year old daughter asked her, struggling with the name while clutching her stuffed Pegasus waiting for her elder brother to arrive. Sally finished packing her daughters essential toys before responding,
"He will be here any moment Estelle, he probably just woke up late, again."

She herself was wondering what was keeping her son so long, he was half an hour late already. Knowing this may happen due to being a demigod she was only slightly worried, she got used to it over time. He was already thirty minutes late as it was, so she was about to Iris message them before Sally caught the sudden flash of light under the front door followed by the single solid knock. Speak of the devil and he shall appear Sally thought sarcastically as she went to open the door, Estelle hot on her heels.

"Sally dear, could you get that I'm almost done packing, could you get that?" Was heard by both mother and daughter from further inside the apartment by Percy's step-father, Paul. The apartment was of a moderate size containing a living area/ dinning room, kitchen, family bathroom and three bedrooms, the master with a balcony overlooking the street. It had been quite an expensive place to buy, but that was more than covered for by Gabe and Sally's "sculpture" making skills.

"Yeah, I've got this love" Sally yelled back down the hall before she, and her daughter who was hiding behind her leg at this point, swung open the door. As she did though she was introduced to a sight that most would find odd, but only brought a smile to her face.

Before her was her 17 year old son in a leather jacket and combat boots holding his girlfriend, who happened to be a goddess, within his arms along with two duffel bags arguing with his younger cousin, who was about a foot shorter than her son, about which punk band was better: Green Day or Blink-182. The cousin was in a similar outfit, although hers had silver spikes on the jacket and boots as well as being without bags, while also holding their girlfriend (who Sally presumed to be Reyna judging their positions). Before her analysis could get any further, the argument was interrupted by the exited squeal of a three year old.

"P-WERCY!!! ARTE-MWIS!!!" Screamed Estelle, running between Sally's legs to hug the young couple's legs. The argument was forgotten in an instant as the the goddess and her boyfriend knelt down to greet the small child while the other couple just gazed down, smiling affectionately, at the little girl. The goddess picked the young girl while remaining in her boyfriends embrace, who promptly started giggling with all the attention she was getting. The sight brought a smile to the mother's face seeing her little girl happy with her not so little boy and her, hopefully, soon to be daughter in-law. Her musing was interrupted by the indignant whine of the little punk she had taken on as her daughter.

"Hey, why don't I get my name yelled?!" Whined the daughter of Zeus, who had apparently been replaced by her older step-sister in the order of affection, which was completely out of order, while huffing into Reyna's hair as she did so. This caused a chuckle in response from her girlfriend and a pair of raspberries from the very mature couple next to her. Estelle scrunched up her face as she tried to remember what her elder brother had told her last time before giving her adopted sister a childish grin, making the lieutenant of the hunt nervous when it was coupled with the smirks of Artemis and Percy.

"P-WINE-C-WONE-FWACE!!!"

To say Thalia was annoyed at being called that was an understatement. She was fuming. Red faced and sparking Thalia glared at the couple holding the girl knowing she couldn't complain due to the toddler present as they laughed at her. Her glare would normally be intimidating enough to stop most laughter but only served to fuel it as her face was half hidden by Reyna's hair that had stuck up from the static produced by the daughter of Zeus. She was about to retort but was cut off by Sally who gaze a discrete cough to gain their attention. The three year old jumped out of the goddess's arms and scuttled back to behind her mothers legs after the interruption.

"Hey Mum, sorry we are late. Moonbeam and I woke up a bit later they usual but were here now." The son of Poseidon explained while his blushing girlfriend who was trying to hide by snuggling into her boyfriends chest. Sally merely waved her hand dismissively, having gotten used to it over the years, before turning to the other couple.

"No problem Perce, now Thalia are you going to introduce me to the lovely lady your holding?" Sally inquired suggestively, causing them both to straighten up. Reyna was used to formal meetings having done so may in her servitude to Rome before she joined the hunt, after the incident, but nothing could prepare her for meeting her girlfriends mother. While she had only heard good things about her, and seen what happened to those who insulted her at the camps, she also know this was a formidable overprotective mother with a twelve ball shotgun so she really didn't want to get this wrong.

Thalia released her girlfriend instead grabbing her hand while turning to face her adoptive mother suddenly feeling uncharacteristically nervous before steeling her nerves. "Okay Mum, this is Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, or RA-RA for short, she is a daughter of Bellona, former patreon of the twelfth legion of Rome, horse friend and my girlfriend. Rey this is my mother."

Stepping forward from her girlfriend and formally offering her hand to be shook, the daughter of Bellona greeted her girlfriends mother. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Mrs. Jackson."

Instead of taking the outstretched hand Sally gave her a critical look for a moment, further unnerving the girl before rushing forward and enveloping her in a hug much to Reyna's surprise while the others had expected it.

"Oh, call me Sally dear, and don't worry we won't have a problem as long as you can keep our little lightning bug in check we won't have a problem." The mother replied with a smirk and a twinkle in her eyes. This caused an indignant exclamation from the daughter of Zeus and a chuckle from her girlfriend.

"Yes she can be quite troublesome," Reyna said while wrapping her arms round the daughter of the sky, getting a huff and a pout in return, "but she's worth it."

The others in the room all smiled softly at the new couple, well except the three year old. She was busy giving her best stink eye to the girl holding her older sister before asking the deciding question in wether she got the all important three year old seal of approval, "What is yw-our favwor-ite colour?" 

The usually stern goddess smiled kindly at the youngster before replying, "I think purple is the best."

Estelle's eyes light up at those words as if Reyna was suddenly the best thing since blue cookies. She rushed over and hugged the demigod and murmured. "I love purple too, I like you."

Before anything else could occur Paul came into the room dragging four enormous suitcases and three duffel bags, each bag bulging at max capacity. The sight was rather comical to the demigods and goddess as between them they only had two moderately full duffel bags between the four of them.

"You sure you got enough there Paul?" Percy asked cheekily still holding the moon goddess in his arms.

"Ha ha very funny Perce, but are you and Thalia seriously going dressed like that?" Paul said while dumping all the bags in a heap on the floor, almost begging for them to answer no.

"What's wrong with this?!" Thalia squawked indignantly looking over herself, while Percy just rolled his eyes.

"My family are incredibly strict and resentful towards anyone not of their class, and your wearing a leather jacket and a death to barbie T-shirt with children around!" Paul countered pulling on his hair.

"Paul, I have worn worse in front of the Olympic council they will have to deal with it." The son of the sea stated obviously not caring in the slightest, "and just for the record if anyone insults Artemis I am going to break their jaw."

The older man paled at this knowing that his stepson wasn't joking and would probably severely injure multiple of his family members. The women in question just smiled and pecked her boyfriend's cheek knowing he would do that no matter what others thought.

"Whatever, there is no point arguing with you. You just need to watch out for 4 people you should watch out for; first my father who will probably try to beat you into submission with words-" Paul had to pause while he waited for everyone to stop sniggering at the idea. "Yeah I know that will be a problem but whatever. Next is mother, same reason really, just she more picky with actions and manners. Third there is my Aunt Agatha who is very big on schooling and traditions", queue demigod wince, "and finally there is my brother, Marcus-"

"Marcus Blofis is your brother?" Percy interrupted suddenly, to which Paul just nodded slowly. The demigod just sighed. "Well this is going to go down like a shit sandwich." The others raised an eyebrow expecting an explanation but only got none.

"Well yeah him. Anyway we better be off as to not be too late." Paul said while going to get his bags but was beaten by the demigods who each grabbed a bag, so that they carried all the luggage while the older couple and their daughter could just follow.

It had previously been decided that the luggage would go in Percy's two seater Old a Toyota pickup with the demigod and his goddess while the other five would go ahead in the Prius.

The final encouraging words of Paul as they left for Washington where that of "To War!!! I mean the family reunion."

Well that is chapter two done at last, I know it is a bit rushed but I wanted to publish it today so here it is. And before you comment: yes I know Estelle is not 3 at this point, Thalia was adopted before the Titans curse and Annabeth never happened she was only a good friend.

Anyway what do you think? I also want to I know what rating you want this. I can make it T or M as I have some darker themes I could incorporate as well as a possible mature chapter or two if you want or it can stay family friendly, I don't care.
