The Confession!!!!

"LEEDS!" Sky shouted as he stumbled backwards.

"Despite looking older, you're still the same old Sky on the inside huh?" Leeds smiled as he grabbed Sky's hand, making sure he didn't fall.

"What're you doing all the way out here?" He asked.

Sky straightened himself out and stood up tall. "Nothing, just came to visit a familiar place." He smiled, thinking it was best to avoid mentioning Delphi.

"I wanted to thank you." Leeds suddenly said.

"For?" Sky looked puzzled.

Leeds looked out into the forest. "That orb you gave me… it allowed me to talk to Lily." He said.

Sky remembered the orb that Hephaestus had given him six years ago.

"When I first used it even she was surprised as to how I was able to talk to her, but after explaining she smiled, saying that was something her father would do alright." He explained.

"She didn't know?!" Sky asked in surprise.

"No… it was a nice gift from the man who was once against the very idea of us being together." Leeds said.

Sky studied his face a bit harder. Compared to when he had first arrived in camp, Leeds looked happier, more full of energy and less uptight. He seemed more relaxed and easygoing now.

"Really?" Sky said with a smile.

"Really," Leeds repeated, "So as a way of thanking you I have something to tell you, a piece of advice if you will."

Sky waited.

"You're in the wrong here, so I'd go and apologize." Leeds said.

Sky stood, puzzled for a second, wondering what he was referring to.

Leeds saw the look and grabbed his temples, massaging them slowly. "I'm referring to Jennifer you dense cotton ball!" He finally said.

It finally sunk in for Sky. "Ah." He said as his face reddened.

"Now go!" Leeds started kicking Sky, "Go! Go! Go!"

"FINE!" Sky said as he finally started moving, making his way deeper into the training grounds until he found the location where he had first met her, near the river.

Once he had arrived there he found her staring into the water, standing alone. Nervously Sky looked around, wondering what he should do or say before finally mustering the courage and walking next to her.

"Jennifer…" He said awkwardly.

She continued staring at the water as it moved up and down.

"Um… listen… I just got back, I was going to come meet you when Silk started tailing me and we had to come to the town hall." Sky explained.

She didn't say anything, still watching the water.

Sky took a deep breath. "Listen, I'm sorry." Sky said.

"For." She replied, continuing to look at the water.

Sky looked around nervously. "Not coming to see you when I got back." He clarified.

"And." She said.

"There's an and?!" Sky looked startled.

She suddenly spun around and glared at him, freezing Sky in his tracks. "Right… and…" Sky said as he thought hard while she stared a hole through his head.

"Not talking to you while I was away…?" Sky said, shooting a shot in the dark.

There was silence between them as Jennifer pulled back a punch and tapped Sky's chest with it.

"You disappear for six years, no communicating, no visiting, then suddenly show up again expecting everything to be the same as before?!?!" She shouted, tapping his chest with another punch.

"I'm the daughter of Aphrodite, I can tell when someone loves me!" She said, continuing the barrage of tapping.

"Ahhhhh, that hurts." Sky said sarcastically.

She glared at him. "Sorry, not the time." Sky corrected himself.

"Do you know how worrying it is when someone as stubborn and one-track minded as you disappears!" She scolded.

Sky grabbed her fists and pulled her in, wrapping his arms around her and squeezing her tightly.

"I'm sorry, I won't do anything to worry you again." Sky said.

"Don't say that before a fight!" She cried.

"Right, sorry!" Sky said once again.

"There's something else you need to be saying!" Jennifer said with a muffled voice.

A rock settled in Sky's stomach as his throat dried up. "I love you." He said.

Suddenly Jennifer relaxed and started hugging him tighter. "I know…" She whispered.

"WHOOOOO!!!!!!" Prometheus shouted from far within the treeline.

Sky and Jennifer leapt away from each other as their faces turned red. Suddenly from the treeline all twelve demigods and the three titans appeared.

Sky watched as Prometheus was dressed in a red shirt and white pants with a white fedora. "I was rooting for them the whole time you know!" He turned to Atlas.

"The forge is burning bright, don't you say Sky!" Blitz slapped his back.

Suddenly Elsa leaped onto Sky, bringing him to the ground as she hugged him tightly. "I always knew it!!" She exclaimed.

Rune walked over and pulled her off, extending a hand towards Sky before pulling him in for a bear hug. From the side, Sky saw Faust, Lea, Carla and Claire congratulating Jennifer before he watched as Faust and Lea suddenly turned towards him and sprinted at him. In a matter of seconds he was on the ground again as the two leapt on him, muttering threats in close proximity so that Jennifer couldn't hear.

"GET OFF HIM!!!" Jennifer shouted.

Slowly the two did so, allowing Sky to stand up once again. From behind Leeds congratulated him as Max simply nodded from the back, standing alongside the titans who chuckled amongst one another and waved.

"Don't let this distract you from the fight." Silk said.

"Is someone jealous they don't have a partner?" Sky teased.

Silk notched an arrow. "Fine! Sorry!" Sky raised his hands.

Slowly everyone relaxed and headed back, leaving Sky and Jennifer alone again. "Shall we head back as well?" Jennifer asked, grabbing Sky's hand.

Sky nodded and the two made their way back to the city where everyone had already started talking about the two. Quickly, Jennifer guided Sky to her home, a separate logging for fighters past the infirmary, hidden in the woods.

Once they had gotten there Sky saw several cabins, each varying in size and shape while also seeing Blitz making a mansion-like one that was almost complete. Jennifer pulled Sky towards the back, a somewhat large, two-story cabin that sat in a couldisack. Sky saw that the cabin was larger than what Jennifer would need.

It was made of logs from the outside with windows and a green roof. On the rightmost part of the roof was a cobblestone chimney blowing smoke out.

"It has four rooms and three bathrooms!" She said as she pulled him inside.

Once inside, Sky saw how spacious it was. Upon entering the small entrance had a ceiling that was as far up as the roof of the house. To the left was a small room full of books and a chair while to the right was a large table. After taking a few steps, lined against the wall was a staircase that went upstairs. Jennifer pulled Sky past the stairs towards a large, living room decorated with gray sofas and high ceilings. Sky noticed that the fireplace was pushed against the far wall and the floor was made of white stone. To the left of the living room was a large kitchen and a small table while past that was a room and to the right of the living room was another bedroom.

Sky stared in awe at the beautiful house that lay before him. "This is where you've been living?" He asked.

"Well, no… it was a lot smaller but as soon as Blitz came today I asked him to make it bigger." She explained.

"He did this all today?!" Sky asked.

"Yes." She said happily.

"WHY?!" Sky asked.

Jennifer looked down and started shuffling her feet. "Because we're going to be living together…" She said nervously.

"Huh?!" Sky froze.
