A/N: Paul is dating Sally, meeting two certain demigods for the first time.
Paul's POV
I stood in the kitchen next to Sally, the woman I had fallen for. We were waiting for the pizza we had ordered.
"So, what do you want to do tonight?" I asked, taking a sip of lemonade that Sally has made.
"Oh, um..." Sally nervously brushed her hair back, "Well, I'm hoping that you can meet some one tonight."
"Like who?" I asked, curious. And why was she nervous?
"My son," Sally said, not meeting my eyes.
Wait, she has a son?!
"I'm so sorry Paul, I just- I should've told you earlier but I didn't know how to tell you," Sally
said quickly, "But, if you can't... Accept him, then I don't know if we have... A future together."
"Oh, no! I'm not mad or anything," I replied, "I'm excited to meet him." I'm nervous now. Is his father still... In the picture?
Sally looked relieved and saw my worried expression, "He's only met his father a couple of times. He's not exactly close to him."
Oh thank goodness.
"So, when can I meet him?" I exclaimed.
Then Sally looked at the clock," Hopefully soon."

"Mom! We're home!" A voice called from the door. I'm assuming it belonged to Sally's son.
Sally smiled and took my hand, "You can meet him now!"
I smiled back and saw her son. He looked about 13 or 14 and had messy black hair. His sea green eyes shone with pride and... Was it despair? Next to him was a girl, a barley taller than him. She had a grimace on her face and had curly blonde hair framing her gray eyes. Both kids were covered in dust and grime. And blood.
"What happened?" Sally demanded.
"We met a monster at the theater," the blonde girl answered, stepping back as she noticed me. Her eyes scanned me, like she was calculating how to take me down.
Sally asked, "Are you okay, Percy? And Annabeth? Ambrosia and nectar are in the top cabinet-"
"We're... Ok. A lot better than what we would've been if Annabeth hadn't of brought some ambrosia with us," Percy said then turning to me, "Who are you?"
Sally smiled, remembering I was there, "Percy, this is Paul, my boyfriend."
Percy smiled too and stuck his hand out, "I'm Percy."
I shook his hand and Annabeth's.
Then the pizza came.
It was gone pretty quick, we then watched a movie, Finding Nemo. Percy's favorite.
I put my arm around Sally and we watched. I glanced at Percy and Annabeth, who had fallen asleep on each other.
"Ten bucks says they end up dating," Sally whispered.
"You're on!" I whispered back.
I lost that bet.
Sorry that this was long. I hope you enjoyed and if you have any suggestions, let me know!
