Annabeth moaned as her alarm clock rang obnoxiously. She looked over too see her fiancé sleeping next to her. Percy slept like a child taking up most of the bed space and drooling on his pillow. This irritated annabeth, not only did she have to do the laundry but she was only left a foot of space to sleep with.

"Percy wake up!" Annabeth shook him rapidly. Percy panicked and jumped up drawing riptide out of his boxers. Percy now a twenty six year old man was overly paranoid of monster attacks. Ever since he purposed, Percy grew overprotective attachment to his future bride. He was completely exposed, as he preferred to sleep in his trunks. It was uncomfortable for annabeth when they first started sleeping in the same bed but she eventually adjusted.

Annabeth studied his features subconsciously with out giving any signs of interest. As he matured he grew to a respectable six foot three. His shoulders became slightly broader and his features became bold. His muscles are defined with a set of flat pecks that had taken a square like shape but with zig zag abs. He also grew a full beard which Annabeth found irresistibly attractive. As far as she's concerned Percy's a whopping ten out of ten. Annabeth had matured as well, only gaining an inch or two since the end of the giant war. She became slightly more muscular from training with Percy where he had became a hunk. Her breast had become massive, growing from b's to double d's.

She constantly caught Percy staring at them especially at night where she prefer to wear a tank top and pajamas during her sleep so her cleavage was exposed. Annabeth hated her blonde hair and large breast. She always wish she could look like Piper. A petite brunette with a choppy look but still very attractive. Even though she envied pipers ability to be choppy but physically appealing she herself wouldn't do that. As a child of Athena she believed in self discipline and that means a clean look. Not slutty, or exquisite but appropriate.

"Seaweed brain why is your sword in your trousers?"

"In case we get attacked by monsters. Why else?" Sometimes they'd get attacked while they were in the city or taking a vacation but they were in they're apartment in new Rome so they had nothing to worry about.

"You realize how ridiculous that is right?" Annabeth said suppressing a laugh.

"Well someone once told me preparation is a prerequisite for victory."

"Yes I recall saying that but were safe here. Come on relax and put the sword on the dresser and come cuddle with me?" She pleaded. "Gods forbid the cap pops off in our sleep and impales us both."

"Yah I know it's weird but I want it to be within reach in case of a monster attack and I wonna get into the habit of keeping it where a child can't can get to it if...... you know!" Annabeth blushed at the mention of children. The subject was a touchy one with them. Of coarse she wants kids, she's wanted kids with Percy since they were in Damasen's hut it Tarturas. There she'd truly realized the life she wanted and a son or daughter with Percy was one of them. I'd imagine it wouldn't take such an experience for most couples to realize the life they wanted with each other.

"Come on lay back down and this time don't hog the damn bed!" Percy obliged and laid down next to her. Instinctively Annabeth scooted next to him and wrapped her arms over his broad chest and squeezed him protectively. Percy laid one hand behind his head and one hand on top of Annabeth's that now wrapped around his body firmly. He felt an overwhelming sense of pride having Annabeth  his gorgeous girlfriend coddle him like this.

Annabeth has always had a rough exterior and never really let anybody past her guard. Percy use to watch hysterically and some what jealously when guys would try to hit on her as kids. Now this impossible, bruiting,  fiercely intelligent warrior of a women was cuddling him while he was half naked. He lifted his head and let his hand out and started rubbing Annabeth's back softly.

"How's the job hunt seaweed brain?" They kept there nicknames from they're childhood for eachother. Sure they were corny and even somewhat stupid but the nostalgia alone was enough for them.

"It's not very good, there's not many job opening for a oceanology major."

"I though you had a Ph.D.?"

"I do but a major is simpler to say."

"Hmm okay then I'm pretty sure we can find something. You know I'm pretty sure new Rome doesn't have a ocean research division."

"Yah because traveling via boat was always an inconvenience for them. They hate the ocean like I hate the sky, so why would they bother to even study it."

"Ok what about the outside world?"

"There's nothing here in San Francisco but I do think there's some openings in New York."

"Maybe that's something to think about."

"I thought you liked new Rome, here were among our own kind and not having to look over our shoulder every second."

"Yah I do but I don't want to leech off of Reyna our entire life. Don't you think they've showed us enough hospitality?"

"What for saving the world a dozen times?Personally I think we deserve all the hospitality we want."

"Ok whatever but don't you want to be able to support yourself. I mean we got free college at new Rome and everything we wanted since then all we had to do was ask. Don't you want to buy something of your own like a house, a car, or even a dog?"

"We got a dog." Percy referred to the giant hellhound which now took refuge in they're home. Mrs.O'Leary could take the form of a st.Bernard. She was the only monster of anytype allowed inside camp borders. It took the Romans awhile to get used to her but they adjusted.

"Yah I know we have a dog but Daedalus gave her too you. We haven't bought something of our own in years. Im kind of sick of being a freeloader." As she got done speaking they're hellhound disguised as a St.Bernard came running into the bedroom and jumped on the bed excited. She planted her giant paws on Percy's chest and licked him relentlessly.

"Ah ah ahhhh come on Mrs'O'Leary you know better than that." Percy complained. Annabeth laughed hysterically while the giant hound smothered her fiancé.

"I think that's a sign to get out of bed and find a job." Aanabeth threw her sheets over her legs and stood out of bed. As Percy finally got his dog off the bed he wrapped his arms around Annabeth's waist and pulled her in to him aggressively.

"How about we stay for a bit while longer. You know I haven't had my morning kiss yet." As they began to lean in Annabeth put her finger to Percy's lips.

"Not till you wash your face and brush your teeth. I can smell her spit all over your face and that's disgusting."

"Hmph your a tease you know that?"

"And proud of it."
