Percy's POV

I woke up with a weight on my chest. I look down and see auburn hair all over my chest belonging to a beautiful woman. Artemis.

I smile at what we did last night and start playing with her hair, I was so distracted I didn't see Artemis waking up and looking at me.

"Morning." She said snuggling into me more.

"Good morning beautiful."

"I missed waking up like this." She mumbled into my chest.

"Well, maybe we could do this more..." She leaned forward off of recovering herself with the sheets and looking at me.

"We need to talk... about us."

"Yeah..." She came closer to mescal covering herself and looked me in the eyes.

"I love you and I want to be with you."

"I never stopped loving you or thinking about you, Artemis," I said stressing her cheek. "Artemis I miss us." She put her hand over mine and leaned into my touch.

"Without you, I feel like a part of me is missing... Is there anyway-"

"Artemis," I interrupted, "Considering what we did last night, I think-no know-there is a way we can and will be together. I will never leave you."

"So what does that make us exactly?"

"Whatever you want us to be," I said kissing her forehead.

"I want us to go back to what we were before the whole potion fiasco. I want... I want to be your wife someday."

"Good." I started to kiss her passionately. Artemis pushed me down so she was now on top of me letting the sheet she was holding fall as she wrapped her hands around me. We stopped after a few minutes to catch our breath.

"Before we leave this moment I think you're going to need this." She said summoning a necklace-the key necklace-and placed it around my neck.

"Now I have a question for you Phoebe Artemis soon-to-be Jackson," I said kissing her neck. She hummed before I asked her: "Will you go on a date with me?" I pulled away, cocking an eyebrow.

"Well, it depends on where it will be." She said smirking.

"Queen Elizabeth Park. 4 o'clock." She leaned forward to kiss me but didn't get there.

"I'll see you there then, Water Boy." She said before flashing out.

"Tease!" I shouted before I got out of bed to get ready for the rest of the day and most importantly, my date with Artemis.

Artemis' POV

I flash back to my tent trying to stop smiling, but I can't.

I just got him back.

I just got my love back.

I change into an outfit I've been saving for today. The outfit that is me, but not the me most people know.

The person Percy knows.

The real me.

I walk out of my tent, smiling like an idiot. As I pass some of the new hunters, they stop and stare at me with wide eyes because they have never seen me like this. Some of my older hunters see me and they stop, look at each other, then smile.

"Artemis, is there something you want to tell us?" Thalia asks crossing her arms.

"Or somebody?" Phoebe asks smirking and also crossing her arms.

By now the whole hunt was around me. There was a mix of emotions across the girls' faces: Anger, confusion, and happiness.

"What are they talking about, my lady?" One of the new hunters, Alexis asked.

"We're talking about my cousin," Thalia said smiling.

"Okay, so will he be joining the Hunt?" Ana asked now interested.

"He's been a part of the Hunt for a while," Atlanta said making me blush.

At that about half of the hunt started yelling in protest about him, but I couldn't help but smile.

"When I first met him I had to keep Zoe from slapping him," I said smiling with tears, making all of the girls stop and stare at me. "Gods that was so long ago. I still remember him saving me like it was yesterday."

"My lady who are you talking about?" Ana asked a little mad.

"The man I love." The new girls started to protect and yell at me but they were silenced by the older girls.

"How could you let this happen? You're supposed to hate males!" Alexis yelled at the older girls.

"I feel in love with him when I had amnesia 8 years ago," I said taking the tension away from the older Hunters. "I lost him for a while, but now we're all good."

"My lady he is just like any other male. he just wants to use you and take advantage of you. Hades, he's probably another Orion." This made my smile go away. I walked up to the Hunter, Samantha and slapped her. She cupped her cheek and looked at me in shock.

"If anyone on the Olympic Council heard you say that they would do much worse than I did." I spat at her. "And for your information, he has saved Olympus twice! And that was before he was betrayed and made partially immortal by the council."

"My lady I don't understand," Alexia said getting my attention.

"Zoe was my best friend and the best Hunter of all time," Phoebe said. "She accepted and even became friends with him before she died."

"Zoe was friends with him?" The younger hunters mumbled.

"Yep!" Thalia said popping the "p".

"So what's this male's name?" Samantha spat.

"Perseus Jackson," I said smiling.

The girls looked at me with wide eyes. They had all heard his story and still didn't know much about him.

"You know you're like half an hour late to our date, right?" A voice I knew all too well said. I turned around and there he was.

"Hey," I said walking towards him but stopped when I heard Thalia.

"You. Are. So. Dead." She growled, then ran towards him crackling with lightning.

"And that's my cue." He said before shadow traveling away.

"What?!" Everyone yelled.

"Did we forget to tell you he was blest by all of the Olympians?" I said sheepishly laughing.

"Sorry, Moonbeam." A voice said from the shadows.

"How long did it take you to come up with that nickname?" I asked.

"Oh not long."

"It took you over a year didn't it," I asked smirking.

"That hurt Artemis. That hurt right here." He said coming out of the shadows pointing at his heart.

"PERCY JACKSON!" Thalia said coming up to Percy and slapping him with electricity. "That's for leaving!"

"Okay, I kind of deserved that." He said rubbing his cheek. "So how have the past 15 months ben Thals?"

"Oh, you know just had to get Artemis out of a depression, getting her back to the old her, oh and we can't forget... hunting you!" She said sweetly glaring at me.

"Yeah... I heard about that." I said shoving my hands into my pants.

"So you and Artemis have a date?" Phoebe said getting all of the Hunters attention.

"Yeah, we do," I said coming forward taking his hand. "So Thalia's in charge until I get back. Bye" I said flashing out.

Third Person POV

Olympus

As per usual, the Olympians were called to have their weekly meeting, but Artemis doesn't show up...

"Where is Artemis?" Zeus asked the rest of the council. to which everyone looked around at one another shaking their heads and saying 'no'. "Hermes, go retrieve Artemis," Zeus ordered. 

Hermes flashed out of the room and didn't come back for a few minutes which worried the council. Just as Zeus was about to send someone else, Hermes showed up with Artemis and a man and took to his thrown while Artemis stayed with the man in the center of the throne room.

"Who are you?" Zeus thundered summoning his Master Bolt.

"It hasn't been that long has it, Uncle?" The man said smirking making the rest of the council (except Artemis) freeze and stare at the two. 

"Percy?" Poseidon asks with hope.

"Hey, dad." The man says before de-glamorizing himself to look like his old self. Percy was embraced by his dad, Hera, and Hestia before he could say anything else. 

"We were worried sick!" Hera said after the trio broke away from Percy. "Don't you ever do that again!"

"And that is not a threat," Hestia said sternly. "That is a promise." 

The trio returned to their thrones as Zeus started speaking again.

"Perseus. It is good to see you again." Hades and Zeus said at the same time.

"It's good to be back." He smiled while taking Artemis' hand again.

"So I assume Artemis has filled you in on recent events," Zeus asked.

"Yes Uncle." He said confidently.

"Good," Ares said rolling his eyes to which everyone ignored.

"Now back to why we called you, Artemis have you found the hooded man?" Hades asked getting to the point. What most people didn't expect was for Percy to answer.

"Don't worry, Uncle. This problem has been taken care of."

"And how is that, son?" The Sea-god asked.

"Because I am-or was- the hooded hunter. And I swear on the Styx never to let that side of me ever come to light again." Shocking everyone as they heard the thunder sealing the oath.

"Well... Okay then." Hades said sitting back in his throne.

"Moving on to something we have been waiting to ask you for a while..." Zeus started.

"We hope you FINALLY accept this offer Cuz." Apollo interrupted.

"My son, we have been pondering and debating this for a very long time and it is finally time to offer you this," Poseidon asked smiling.

"Okay..." Percy asked gripping Artemis' hand as she smiled know what they were asking.

"You have done much for us in your young life, so we offer you Godhood," Hermes said smiling, stealing Zeus' thunder.

"Do you accept, nephew?" Zeus asked.
