Seeking Happiness

Chapter 57

It’s Christmas morning. I can hear the twins wailing in their room. I rolled over in my big empty bed and to look at the alarm clock. The numbers were blurry at first, but as my eyes adjusted I read seven thirty. That was relatively late for the twins. They were usually awake by six and ready to eat. I moaned as I hugged a pillow to myself. Every morning it was the same thing. Wake up on his side of the bed. Have a good cry. Pull myself together. Go get the twins. They’re so big now, almost one. Today was going to be hard but I had decided to but a brave face on for my babes, for my children. I heard someone squeal I think it was Noah. Then I heard another squeal louder this time. It was then that I realized, the noises weren’t coming from their room. It was coming from downstairs. I rushed out of bed and made my way towards the stairs.

It wasn’t unusual for someone like Piper or Frank to come and get the twins out of bed. But they always tell me first. My heart was slamming in my chest as I took the stairs two at a time. The kids were laughing now. They’re fits of laughter stopped me in my tracks. I stopped right outside the library door. I strained my hearing to pick up the whispers coming from the other room. “Shhh… don’t wake up mommy. Let mommy sleep.”

I almost melted on the spot. I knew that voice. I heard that voice in my dreams every night. I threw myself around the corner. There he was. Sitting cross-legged under the Christmas tree. A child on each knee and Santa hat on his head. He looked up, “Hey babe. Guess what Santa brought you for Christmas.”

Tears spilled from my eyes as I ran to him. I threw my arms around his neck and just held him. I didn’t want to let go. I don’t think I could. I thought he was dead. I thought he was never coming back. He’s here now, he’s actually here. He pulled my chin up so I was looking him in the eye. “Don’t hide your face from me, It’s been so long since I’ve seen it.” He used his thumbs to brush the tears out of my eyes. “I missed you too Wise Girl. Every day. And I missed you my little munchkins.”

I placed my hand on his cheek, “But how? How are you here? They told me you were dead.” He opened his mouth to answer but I just pressed my fingers to his lips. “You know what it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you’re hear now.” I smiled, genuinely smiled for the first time since he left. “It really is a Christmas miracle. I never thought I would see you again.”

He kissed my forehead, “There’s nothing in the world that can keep me away from my family.” He slowly started to stand up handing me the twins. I tried to stand as well but he put his hand on my shoulder, “No stay here.”

I don’t care how long he’s been gone he’s not going to tell me what to do. He grinned, “I mean it stay there or you’ll ruin the surprise.”

I narrowed my eyes at him, “What surprise?”

His eyes lit up like Christmas. Which was appropriate considering it is Christmas. “What kind of husband and father would I be if I didn’t provide my loved ones with presents.” He turned on his heels and disappeared into another room. The second he left my sight I began to panic. Was I going crazy was he really here? What if this is all in my imagination.

When he returned all doubt vanished from my mind. Never in a million years would I have imagined the presents he brought. In one hand he held a tank filled with water, it had some kind of animal in it but not one that I knew of. Leave it to Percy to find a new aquatic animal. He had a leash in the other which was tied around the neck of a baby Pegasus. Lastly he had what looked like a laptop bag strung around his neck.

He presented the presents with Glee. The first was to Noah, a kraken, no the kraken shrunk down to a little size. Apparently it would grow a little but not by much. The second was to Gracie, a Pegasus for her to ride some day. The last was to me. He handed me the bag and I accepted it with a huge smile. “Thanks for the laptop case seaweed brain, but I don’t have a laptop anymore.”

His eyebrows shot up, “Oh don’t you now. I was fairly certain you had one.” He winked at me and my heart burst into butterflies. I slowly unzipped the case and inside was a laptop. It looked just like the one I had lost in Tartarus.

“But how did you?” I stammered in my amazement.

He walked across and sat down next to me, “It’s all about who you know.” Then he kissed me. “And this is my Christmas present to me.” He kissed me again and oh how I missed this. His lips against mine. I love this boy with all of my heart and now that he’s home I can finally feel it beat again.

I read all of the books years ago, but I have recently been getting into fan-fics. This is honestly the best one I've read so far. Only request is more of Grover, other than that one chapter it feels like you forgot about him. But great read overall!
