Hey everybody! I'm glad to introduce myself. I've been a big reader in Fanfiction, and I've written a couple of stories before by a different Pen name, I doubt you know any of them, but I am happy to be back. This story is one that is very dear to me. It's a little TOO sad, although you can't tell at the begining, but just brace yourselves. It does have a happy ending, and eventhough I have the main conflict set up, I WILL be taking up suggestions along the story. So bear with me. Enjoy :)

Annabeth sat squarely on her bed, with the biggest smile on her face that she had ever had. In her hand, she held one of the three pregnancy tests that she had bought earlier that morning. Her mind was everywhere at the moment, but all she knew was that she had once again that amazing feeling that she'd had only once before. She was pregnant.

Percy and Annabeth's childhood had come and gone very fast. Their lives had their highs and lows, and sometimes she couldn't even remember how they had gotten where they are, but it didn't matter. About six years ago they had gotten married, and only 4 years ago she gave birth to their first baby boy. She remembered how anxious they were to finally start new lives together and do things that normal people would, and making a family was at the top of their list. It was very hard, since they had monsters visiting them very often, and their son had unbelievable demigod powers that he was acquiring very quickly, but hell, it was worth it.

At the moment, Percy went to pick up Charles from the swimming class that Percy signed up for him. Annabeth argued that, since being a grandson of Poseidon, he didn't need swimming lessons, but Percy informed that it would only help him and get him used to the water. Annabeth, as smart as she was, knew that the only thing Percy wanted was to show off their son's abilities to other people, so Annabeth just smirked and let him.

Annabeth went to the couch, trying to calm her happiness with some crappy TV show, but all she wanted was for Percy to get here so she could tell him the news. At that very moment, Percy walked in, carrying Charle's swimming bag.

"Mommy!" Charles said as he ran up to her. He hugged her tight, getting her damp with his still wet swim suit.

"Hey sweetie. Did you have fun?" Annabeth said, giving her son a kiss, he nodded and went to his room to play with his toys.
Percy set Charle's bag down and went over to Annabeth. He leaned down and kissed her smiling face.

"What are you smiling about, Wise Owl? He said playfully. Annabeth chuckeld for a moment, thinking of a way to tell him. She knew he was going to be as happy as she was, but that didn't make her any less nervous.

"Oh nothing, just that in a couple of months I'm going to be laughing at you changing diapers once again." Annabeth finally said, smiling even bigger. Percy looked at her, full of alertness, as a grin slowly formed in his face.

"Really?" He mouthed, smiling at the way she told him the news. When it comes to their kids, Annabeth was always positive and happy and to the point.

Annabeth nodded, happy tears forming in her eyes. Percy stood frozen on the spot, just smiling at her, when he finally moved with a rapid speed and picked her up to hug her. He began to twirl her around and kiss her cheeks and her belly, while Annabeth struggled against him. They both fell on the couch, with tears rolling down both of their cheeks.

"Oh Annabeth" Percy sighted. "Charlie is gonna be so happy! He's been asking me if he's ever gonna have any siblings! Oh, I wish its a girl, I've always wanted to have both a boy and a girl. Oh, she's gonna be so beautiful, I just know it!" He said happily, wiping his little tears away.

"That's what you're hoping now, but by the time she's a teenager she's gonna be getting dates and going to parties, and you're gonna be over here getting mad at her because you caught her kissing a boy, then she's gonna get mad and she's gonna go into her room and slam the door and..."

"All right, all right." Percy cut her off, smiling. Annabeth just chuckled as he sat down next to her and she leaned against him. They sat in silence, lost in their own thoughts, when Percy finally spoke. "You know, I never thanked you for this. For giving me a family that I've always wanted. Kids that I'm going to adore my whole life." He paused "An amazing wife that I'll never stop loving." He said, tears forming once again. Sometimes he remembered how much he actually loved her, and it scared him. It scared him because, if she ever lost her, it would be impossible for him to go on. It scared him because, Percy never thought that there would actually be somebody that he loved as much as he loved her.

And the fact that he knew she loved him back. It was an indescribable feeling. He was going to have another baby. Another baby with the woman he loved so much, that not even himself could understand how much. Annabeth turned her head to face him, tears in her own eyes as well, and ever so gently, pressed her lips against his. She understood. She felt the same way, if not, even more. She put her head on the crook of his neck and began to rub her tummy gently.

"MOMMY COME HERE PLEASE!" Yelled Charlie from across the apartment. Annabeth chuckled and went to her son, leaving Percy on the couch. He sat up and remembered when himself was a child as young as his son. He was very attatched to his Sally, no wonder Annabeth was always busy taking care of him like the amazing mom that she was. Then he remembered how he didn't have a dad when he was that young as well. He always wondered who was his dad, what he did for a living, where he was, why he had left, etc. Never did he imagine that his dad was Poseidon, the God of the seas. He promised to himself that he was never gonna let Charlie or his new baby go through that. He was always going to be there for his kids, no matter what.

Doesn't matter what.

Aww :,) I think I did a pretty bad job on describing the emotions here, but I'll get better :) If you have any questions, feel free to review! I tend to answer them :D If you don't feel like doing an actual review, just leave like a happy face or something. Anything is better than nothing :D I need to know someone is reading this and what I should improve on :) Luv y'all. Be safe! -A

PS. Yes, longer chapters are coming. I just needed to hook you guys with something short and sweet into the story, but it gets better XD
