Percy and Annabeth

Set after HoH

Pregnant

Percy's POV

Where the heck is Annabeth? I haven't seen her all day. Oh, here's Chiron. "Hey Chiron, have you seen Annabeth lately?" I asked him. I couldn't decipher the look he gave me when he answered me. Pity? Sadness? WHAT WAS GOING ON!

"I have been informed by the Athena campers that Annabeth hasn't been eating or talking to anyone since breakfast." Chiron said. Yeah, he's definitely sad. "You might want to see if you can talk to her." Chiron suggested. Before he even finished I was running towards Athena's cabin, worried sick for Annabeth.

"Annabeth!" I called as I burst through the doorway. I ran to her bunk bed, afraid of what I would find. She was curled up in a ball, the blanket over her head. "Annabeth." I said, this time more quiet. She silently peeked her head of the blankets, her eyes red from crying. "What's wrong?" I asked, brushing her cheek with my thumb.

She immediately flung off the blankets, hugging me tightly and crying on my shoulder. "Percy!" she croaked, sending a knife through my heart. I hugged her for a minute or two until she was only sniffling.

"Sweet heart, please tell me what's upsetting you." I begged. She took a deep, shaky breath, looked me in the eyes and said:

"Percy, I'm pregnant." I can't believe she just said those three words! Calm down Percy, don't freak out on her.

Annabeth's POV

I carefully watched Percy's face, reading every emotion that crossed it. Surprise, anxiety, disbelief, and then happiness. He was smiling, chuckling. WHAT IS GOING ON! I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY AND HE'S HAPPY!? "I'm going to be a father." Percy said, an amused look on his face. Oh, of course he's happy, we're going to have baby, a little adorable child of our own. I'm happy...

"I'm glad you came Percy." I snuggled into his arms.

"Are you okay?" He asked. "So you're not sad anymore?" He was confused.

"I'm sorry Percy. Before you came I was thinking about having to take care of a child, worrying about them, and everything. Now I'm thinking about holding them in my arms and loving them, having a child with you..." I started to tear up again, but this time, they were tears of joy.

Percy looked concerned until he saw the wide smile on my face. Oh my heart is just bursting! "Percy..." I whispered, glad to just have him, baby or not.

"I love you Annabeth!" he said, holding me tight against his chest. I sighed, enjoying this blissful moment of happiness.

Percy's POV

I heard the door open and close as someone walking into the cabin, cautiously. "Hey Annabeth, are you ok?" Asked Malcolm. "Oh Percy, I see you've got this handled. Come out when you ready Annabeth." He walked away. No doubt fighting the urge to ask what is happening.

"Percy?" said Annabeth.

"Yes Annabeth?" I asked.

"Were will the baby be raised? I have an apartment and you're looking at that one near your mom. How are we going to RAISE A CHILD, Percy?! How!? What are we going to do?!" Asked Annabeth. I could hear the panic in her voice. I have to get her to stop freaking out.

"Shhhhh, we have 9 months to prepare for that" I said "So when are we going to tell people?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"This baby was conceived only 2 weeks ago and we already got to tell the whole world?!" exclaimed Annabeth.

"Well no, wait! TWO WEEKS AGO! Ooohhh… My bad, I could've sworn that we…" I said trailing off.

"It was a good mistake right?" I asked Annabeth. I couldn't help but smile.

"Of course it was a good mistake." I kissed her creased forehead. "I love you," I said to Annabeth "with all my heart."

PERCABETH BELONGS TO RICK RIORDAN. THE BABY INSIDE ANNABETH BELONGS TO ME.
