Hi guys. So this is a story about how Annabeth tells Percy that she's pregnant. I'll probably turn this into a series of one-shots of couples finding out that the wife is pregnant. I'll start with canon couples and then do couples that aren't canon and I'll take requests. Well, enjoy the story!

Annabeth didn't know what to do. She had to tell Percy, but she didn't want to. They had been talking about having kids and all, but Annabeth wasn't sure if Percy was ready. Annabeth was. In fact, she was excited! But she wasn't sure how Percy was going to take the news.

Annabeth hadn't told anyone, but the first person to find out was actually Sally. Percy and Annabeth were invited over to the Blofis's for dinner. Annabeth had just barely found out that she was pregnant the week before and had kept it a secret from everyone, even Thalia, her best friend.

Everyone had finished eating dinner and was talking in the living room. They were playing scrabble and Annabeth had just put down the word Arachibutyrophobia.

"Wise Girl, what's that?" Percy exclaimed. "I don't think anyone knows what that word means!"

"It's the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth." Annabeth replied, smirking at her husband.

Percy blinked. "That's a real thing?"

"You haven't heard of it before?"

"I don't think anyone has. Then again, you're a daughter of Athena. Of course you know it!"

Annabeth was about to come up with a witty reply when she felt…like she was going to cry? Was it because Percy teased her? She was used to having Percy tease her and teasing him back.

Annabeth just shook her head, chuckled, and didn't say anything. She knew that if she said anything she would burst into tears.

They played the game for a while and then decided to play charades (it was Percy's new half-sister's idea. She was born while Percy was kidnapped by Hera).

While Tracey (Percy's half-sister) was acting out something that no one could tell what it was, Annabeth felt dizzy.

"Uh, I've got to go to the bathroom." Annabeth muttered, standing up and seeing the room spin. She rushed to the bathroom and sat down, trying to calm down. The room stopped spinning and Annabeth stood up. She was still a little sick to her stomach, but tried to ignore it.

For the next ten minutes they played charades, but soon got bored of it.

Paul stood up. "I should probably start the dishes."

"Percy, will you and Tracey help Paul with the dishes?" Sally asked.

"Sure, Mom." Percy and Tracey said in unison. They both stood up and walked into the kitchen.

"I'll help." Annabeth started to stand up, but Sally stopped her.

"No, Annabeth, you don't need to." Sally smiled warmly at her daughter-in-law.

Annabeth sat down and was about to tell Sally how good the dinner was, Sally said, "How long have you known?"

Annabeth jumped a little. "W-what do you mean?"

Sally chuckled. "How long have you known that you were pregnant?"

Annabeth started to get a little nervous. "Why would you say that?"

Sally laughed. "Sweetie, I've been pregnant twice. I know what the signs are."

Annabeth sighed. "Yes, I'm pregnant."

Sally's eyes widened and she squealed like an Aphrodite girl. "You are? Oh, I'm going to be a grandmother!"

"But you can't say anything about it!" Annabeth exclaimed quietly. "I haven't told Percy yet."

"How long have you known?"

"A week. But I've been pregnant for a month."

Their talk stopped when Percy walked back into the living room. "Hey, Wise Girl, it's getting pretty late. We should probably head home."

Annabeth forced a smile and nodded. "Alright. Thanks again for the dinner, Sally. It was great."

"My pleasure, sweetie. I'll see you later." Sally smiled knowingly at Annabeth.

That had been two days ago, and Annabeth still hasn't told Percy. She had hinted at it, hoping that he might catch on. But then again, she did marry the most oblivious guy she has ever met.

On Friday night, she decided that she would tell him, no matter what. They were having a small dinner in their apartment. Annabeth had set up a special dinner to see if Percy finally got the clue.

Percy walked in the front door and took off his coat. "Sorry I'm late. I had this one fish that was upset and this other one that was jealous and-" Percy stopped and laughed. "Sometimes I hate being a son of Poseidon and a marine biologist at the same time."

Annabeth smiled and walked over to Percy, kissing him. "Its fine, Seaweed Brain. I made dinner." Annabeth gestured to the table that had two lit candles on it and the food already on the plates.

Percy grinned. "That looks amazing. Thanks, Wise Girl." He brought his lips down onto Annabeth's and they kissed for a minute, but Annabeth remembered what she had to tell Percy and got a sick feeling to her stomach. What if he didn't want the baby? What if he wasn't ready to be a father?

Percy broke away from the kiss and looked at Annabeth with troubled eyes. "Annabeth are you okay?"

Annabeth forced a smile. "Of course I am, Seaweed Brain. Come on, let's have dinner."

They sat down at the table and started to eat. Annabeth decided to help Percy understand what the 'theme' of the night was.

"So, there's sort of a theme tonight. Can you tell what it is?" Annabeth asked, trying not to smile.

Percy looked at the food and concentrated on it. "Baby back ribs, baby corn, baby chicken…" He trailed off and started focusing. After about three minutes Percy looked up and smiled. "Finger foods! That's clever!"

Annabeth started to get mad. Couldn't Percy understand anything? She was about to yell at Percy when she reminded herself that it was just a hormone.

Instead, she told Percy calmly, "No, actually, that's not it."

Percy raised an eyebrow. "It isn't? Then what is it?"

"Baby!" Annabeth cried, exasperated. "Baby back ribs, baby corn, and baby chicken!"

Percy stared at Annabeth. "So…the theme is 'baby?'"

"Yes, because we're having a baby!" Annabeth exclaimed. "I'm pregnant!"

Percy dropped his fork and his eyes got wide. He opened his mouth and then closed it again. "C-could you repeat that?"

"I'm pregnant." Annabeth said slowly, feeling like a giant weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.

"Could you repeat that?"

"I am pregnant."

"Could you repeat-" Percy started, but Annabeth interrupted him.

"Percy, I am pregnant." Annabeth told Percy. "We are going to have a baby. You are going to be a father."

Percy was silent and then said slowly, "I am going to be a father." His eyes got wide and he stood up abruptly. "Oh, my gods! I am going to be a father!"

"Yes, you are." Annabeth nodded, laughing a little.

Percy walked over to Annabeth and hugged her. "Annabeth, this is great! It's amazing! How long have you known? How long have you been pregnant?"

"I've been pregnant for a month. I just found out about a week ago." Annabeth told him, feeling happier than ever. She thought Percy would be mad or leave her or something.

Percy kissed Annabeth for a minute and then let go. He laughed and exclaimed, "I'm going to be a father! This is great!"

Annabeth couldn't help it. She burst into tears and sobbed into Percy's shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Percy asked gently as he held his sobbing wife.

"I don't know!" Annabeth cried. "I think it's just hormones or something!" She tried to stop crying, but didn't succeed.

"Oh gods." Percy muttered. "Is this going to happen a lot?"

"Why?" Annabeth said defensively. "What's wrong with being a little emotionally crazy for a few months? Is that so bad?"

"No, of course not!" Percy said immediately. He quickly found out that he should think about everything he says before he actually says it. "I'm just not really prepared for this."

"So you don't want the baby?" Annabeth started crying again.

"No, no, that's not it!" Percy tried to calm down Annabeth. "I mean, I just have never really known anyone who was pregnant. But I want the baby."

Annabeth smiled and wiped her tears. "Really?"

Percy smiled down at his wife. "Of course I do!"

Annabeth sat down in her chair and looked at her food. "You know, I'm really in the mood for some guacamole."

Percy mentally groaned. "Is this one of those cravings that I'll have to deal with for the next nine months?"

Annabeth glared at Percy. "What did you say?"

Percy quickly corrected himself. "I was just saying that the stores are probably closed and we can't get the guacamole right now. But I'll get some first thing in the morning."

Annabeth smiled and said happily, "Okay!"

"Cravings, hormones, what's next?" Percy mumbled as they started to eat again.

Annabeth practically answered his question. She looked up sharply and covered her mouth. Her face looked slightly green and she rushed to the bathroom.

Percy grimaced as he heard Annabeth throwing up and went to the bathroom to hold her hair up (at least, that's pretty sure what guys are supposed to do to their puking wives).

Hormones, cravings, and puking, Percy thought. The next nine months were going to be long.
