Hi. I have short chapters, but I plan on making the story pretty long. Margaret-yes you. You better not be reading this. Leave. Now. Or I will come to the lunch table and throw crackers at you. MWAH HA HA! So yeah, if you're reading this, you promised not to. Also, there is spoilers for the Percy Jackson series and Heroes of Olympus stories, and you have only read half of the first book, so don't read this. Okay.
Other people, please review! :)
Sadly, I do not own Percy Jackson or Heroes of Olympus. :(
So yeah. I should get the next chapter up soon, I take all criticism, and I love to have ideas from people for the story. I always enjoy a new perspective. Thanks!
PROLOGUE
Annabeth
I had been craving cinnamon toast crunch since I woke up very early this morning, so I convinced Argus to take me out of camp and go for a CVS run. I wasn't going to just get the cereal, but a lot of things they just didn't have at camp.
My pregnancy had been realized when I was two months pregnant. For some reason, I had already begun to show. In my fifth month, I looked as if I was about to pop. Chiron had said the babies were different from most. Yeah I said babies. Triplets. Chiron had told me that they could end up being GODS. Or half-bloods. Or three-quarter gods. The possibilities were strange. The father, Percy, had gone missing four months ago.
A couple in their twenties, probably engaged judging by the ring, stare at me. I glared, annoyed with everyone's stares when I went into public. I was a sixteen year old girl with a massive bulging pregnant belly. When I find Percy, I'm going to give him a long lecture.
I quickly paid and ran back out to the car, seeing customers eyeing me from the parking lot. I climbed into the passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt.
Argus instantly started driving back. I closed my eyes and leaned completely back. I was tired and sad. I wanted the babies to have their father. I needed to find Percy. If he was alive. NO! I thought. Don't think like that. He has to be alive. Right?
••••••••••••••••••••••••••
When I got back to camp I let my belly hold up my bowl, while I paced the pavilion. I couldn't sit. I just felt so UNCOMFORTABLE. Chiron eyed me nervously. This pregnancy was anything but normal-and for all he knew, I could go into labor right there. Some new campers looked at me funny, but I saw some normal campers talk to them, and they looked away. The bowl, balanced on the top of my stomach suddenly crashed to the ground.
Ten hours later, I held Alexandria Thalia Jackson-Chase, Charles Perseus Jackson-Chase, and Lucas Frederick Jackson-Chase. My babies. I could only hope they could meet their daddy.
CHAPTER ONE
Annabeth
Leo blasted the music throughout the ship, Jason and Piper yelling at him-though laughing. I sat back in the hammock, doing some light reading about Architecture and Engineering. Lexi, my only daughter, who was just like Percy, came running up to me. Her two brothers, Charlie and Luke came on to the deck from the cabin after her. They grew a lot faster than normal humans-or half-bloods. They were three-quarters god. At this time they were about five years old. Luke had my blonde hair and Athena's grey eyes. Charlie had misty green eyes and blonde hair.
"Momma!" Called Lexi. Her pigtails bounced up and down with her as she pointed to the front of the ship. "Go up front!"
I marked my page and got up. I let my children drag me to the front. I noticed they hadn't grown much this month. Chiron said that meant they were gaining control over their powers, and could project themselves as more normal.
Jason, Piper, and Leo all stared over the front of the boat. I traced their gaze to the camp. Roman Camp Jupiter. I gulped and looked down at my children, who were trembling with excitement. They were going to meet their Dad for the first time. Not long before Percy disappeared, I'd found out I was pregnant.
We had agreed on getting engaged after they were born. Well, it didn't really turn out that way because Hera erased Percy's memories and plopped him into Camp Jupiter. I searched the growing crowd of Romans at the edge of the camp. There was so many. Along with families-children and old people-who seemed as if they were half-bloods. I've never met one that had lived so long...
I crouched down in front of the triplets. They wore small little kid shorts that were adorable and tiny Camp Half-Blood t-shirts that had been projects at the Arts and Crafts center. Each of them even had their own set of beads. They only had one bead though, seeming they weren't even a year old yet.
"Ready? You have to be on your best behavior." I ordered. They nodded, knowing better than to not follow my directions. Jason stood at the very front of the boat, in clear view of everyone. I looked for Percy frantically, but everything just seemed like a big blob of purple. I grabbed Charlie's hand, who took Luke's, who took Lexi's. I prayed to the gods Percy was okay, knowing my children were doing the same, and then we released hands.
Piper grinned at me. "You are an awesome mom." She said.
I smiled. I took a shaky breath as the boat lowered down, then landed to a stop. Jason walked towards the ramp, jogging down towards the Romans. A girl with purple robes ran up and hugged him. I saw Piper cringe a bit, but she relaxed quickly after.
Jason and the girl talked for a few seconds. He turned and waved for us to come. Piper and Leo went ahead of us. I went behind the triplets, corralling them forward. Everyone was staring at us. It wasn't until Leo ran back to the ship for something and Piper went to join Jason I realized they were staring at me.
Then I saw the sea green eyes.
