Summary: Because running down to the store to get his pregnant wife some ice cream, was something Leo Valdez certainly didn't plan on doing at 3 in the morning. Ooc

"I'm hungry," Piper said.

Leo groaned inwardly, not bothering to look up from his work. Ever since he started working with Annabeth on her newest architectural expedition, he had been piled with work from the excruciatingly intelligent blonde. It was already 3 in the morning and he's not even halfway through said pile. "Then go eat something," he muttered.

"But I want ice cream," she whined.

Leo shrugged. "Use your imagination."

Wrong answer.

Leo shot up in an attempt to take back what he said, but Piper had beaten him to it. "Leo Valdez, I am hungry and pregnant, and you can't even be bothered to get me something to eat—"

"Babe, it's not that—" Leo's protests were cut off.

"I am not done!" Leo cringed at her tone. There's no stopping her now... he thought bitterly. It's not that he didn't love her, because he did. Oh, gods, he did! But when she starts nagging him for food every night at the same gods-forsaken hour, it starts to grate on him a little bit.

He stared at Piper, hoping the neighbours couldn't hear whatever irrational thing came out of her mouth. She was still yammering on about who-knows-what, her eyes were blazed, and Leo was afraid to know what she'll do next. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at him expectantly. Panic surged through the son of Hephaestus and he cursed himself for not listening to what she had been saying.

"Huh?"

A murderous look took over Piper's features. "YOU WEREN'T EVEN LISTENING?" she shrieked and Leo grimaced. So much for privacy, he thought. He could just imagine their angry neighbours now... Leo shuddered at the thought.

Suddenly, a thought made its way into his mind.

"What happened to the last tub of ice cream I got you?" he wondered aloud and then quickly placed a hand over his mouth and shook his head vigorously, hoping Piper hadn't heard.

"ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT?" Piper shrieked. Normally, this sort of statement wouldn't have bothered her, especially if it had come from a girl. However, she was still Aphrodite's daughter and she just couldn't help it. "YOU ARE CALLING ME FAT!"

"I didn't say that!" Leo was desperate now.

"You didn't have to!" Piper retorted, resting her face in her hands. "Oh gods, my marriage is over!"

"Okay, okay, I'll get the stupid ice cream!" Leo admitted defeat and headed for the door, sparing one last glance at his wife, who was now grinning widely at him. Piper McLean-Valdez may be a force to be reckoned with, but a pregnant Piper McLean-Valdez took that force to a whole new level.

"Crazy woman," he clucked his tongue. "Why did I marry you..."

"Love you, too!" he heard Piper's distant yell as he shut the door.


"Here." Leo handed her the tub.

"Thank you!" Piper smiled sweetly, placing soft kiss on his lips before eyeing the tub with eager eyes.

Leo sighed, maybe now he can finally finish his work...

"Um, Leo?"

"What?"

"This is vanilla." Piper waved the tub in front of him.

Cue blank stare.

"I wanted chocolate."

Leo groaned. "I'll be right back..."
