Chapter One- Triplets and a Wedding
Percy's POV
Annabeth gripped my hand. I glanced at her. She pointed to her stomach. I frowned.
"The babies are coming." She whispered.
"Now?" I replied. We were in the middle of Chris and Clarisse's wedding.
"Now." Annabeth confirmed. I glanced at Chris who was up by the altar, waiting for Clarisse. I gestured to myself and Annabeth, then pointed at her stomach. Chris nodded, and mouthed It's fine. I nodded back at him and me and Annabeth rushed out to the car.
Piper's POV
"Where are Percy and Annabeth going?" I asked Jason. He shrugged. Kylee tugged at my hair.
"None of that." I scolded her. Kylee was only seven months old, and had a bad habit of pulling hair. She had blue eyes, like her dad, and my brown hair that I had french braided for the occasion. Kylee pouted.
"Can I hold her?" Asked Thalia, who was sitting beside Jason. I nodded and handed her Kylee.
Just then, the music started. We all stood and turned to see Clarisse. I caught my breath. She looked amazing. Her dirty blonde hair was curled in ringlets, and her bangs hung prettily over her forehead. Her dress was simple; a long sleeved Greek toga with a fishnet veil. She walked confidently down the aisle.
I saw Silena (Hades had let her out of the Underworld for a little while) give Clarisse a thumbs-up. Finally, Clarisse reached the altar.
Percy's POV
"Just breathe, Annabeth." I advised her as I drove as quickly as possible to the hospital. I cursed under my breath. I saw Annabeth glare at me in the rearview mirror.
"What?" I asked innocently. I pulled up to the curb. "We're here."
Annabeth stumbled out of the car, and fell. I caught her in the nick of time, and carried her into the hospital.
"Baby." I said, pointing at Annabeth when we got to the secretary. The secretary nodded, and a doctor came in with a stretcher. I laid Annabeth on it.
"You can stay here, sir." Said the doctor. I shook my head and held onto Annabeth's hand. The doctor shrugged and begin to wheel away the stretcher.
Leo's POV
The reception was awesome. Chris and Clarisse had the first dance, then Clarisse danced with Ares. Then everyone joined in.
Calypso tapped my shoulder. I turned to look at my girlfriend. She looked really worried.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Annabeth is in the hospital." My heart skipped a beat. What was the scary blonde girl doing in the ER? "She had the triplets."
"Calypso! That's great!" I said. Calypso shook her head.
"Annabeth is in critical condition. I just got a text from Percy. He's worried sick." She said. I frowned.
"We're going there." I grabbed Calypso's hand and went out to the car.
"Where are you guys going?" Called Clarisse.
"Annabeth had the triplets!" I called back. Before I knew it, Piper, Jason, and their daughter Kylee; Frank, Hazel, and their sons Marcus and Reed; and Thalia, Nico, Will, Clarisse, Chris, Grover, Tyson, and Juniper all walked to the cars with us.
Calypso's POV
We all walked into the lobby.
"Wow, big group!" Laughed the secretary. "Why are you here?"
"We're here to see Annabeth Jackson." Replied Piper. The secretary nodded.
"First door to your right; number 336."
Piper and Jason led the way to the room. When we got there, Percy was sitting outside of the room.
"Hey guys." He said, smiling. "They're all sleeping, so be quiet." He silently opened the door and we walked inside. Annabeth laid in the bed, with three bundles in her arms. Annabeth woke up, and smiled to see us.
"Hi everyone." She whispered.
"What are their names?" Asked Juniper.
"This is Adella Nicole." Percy said, pointing to the middle bundle. "Sage Perseus is the one on the left, and Luke Charles is the one to the right."
"Can I hold one of them?" Asked Thalia. Annabeth nodded, and Percy lifted up Adella and handed her to Thalia.
"Can I?" I asked. Percy handed me Luke. I rocked him gently. Then his eyes opened. They were sea green, like Percy's. Luke blinked slowly, and looked around like whoa, where am I?
"Percy, Annabeth!" I whispered. "Luke's awake!" Everyone gathered around me to see Luke.
"Aww." Cooed Juniper. "He's adorable!" I handed Luke to Percy.
"Hey buddy." He said. "I'm your dad, and the lady in the bed is your mom. The girl who was holding you is a friend of mine. Everyone else here is my friends too; except the big guy over there. He's your uncle." Percy rocked Luke.
"You guys are going to be great parents." Assured Piper.
"I hope so." Replied Annabeth.
