Thanks for the reviews. ;D
I don't own PJO.
Twins!
"Who the Hades is knocking on the door at freaking midnight?" Rachel exclaimed from inside her and Nico's apartment and she opened the front door, "Oh, hi Annabeth! Percy!"
"Hi" Said Annabeth giving her a small smile.
"Uh, hey" I said awkwardly, having hear her yelling before she opened the door.
"Sorry for coming here so late, but you're usually awake at this time so, we figure we'd come. We wanted to talk to you" Annabeth said.
"Oh, no it's all right" Rachel said walking back into her apartment, "Come in"
We followed Rachel inside, "Uhh... What's Nico doing?" I asked pointing at Nico, who was sitting blindfolded on a stool in front of an easel slapping on a bunch of black paint violently on the canvas.
"Oh! Uh N-Nico" Rachel said, "You can stop now"
Nico immediately dropped the paintbrush and removed his blindfold. He looked at Annabeth and me and smiled, "Hey guys"
"Uh... Hey, Nico..." Annabeth said, "Uh, what were you two doing?"
"We were painting to see what our mood is!" Rachel replied with a smile.
"What?" I asked.
"We blindfold each other, and we paint for ten minutes in silence. When the ten minutes are up, we look at what color we chose, what we painted and what kind of strokes we used and that'll tell us our mood. Ya know, how we feel. Oh! And it can also tell us what's to come in our future!"
"...What?" I repeated.
Rachel rolled her eyes and walked over to the easel next to Nico's. The canvas was covered in a bunch of green and purple swirly lines, "Okay, so see how I used green and purple? Green means happiness, tranquility, good luck and health. And purple means that you're 'in tune' with your 'main purpose in life.' Make sense?"
No.
"Uh... Yeah, sort of. So then, you're healthy? You'll have good luck?" I asked.
"Yeah! Now you're getting it!" She exclaimed with a smile, "So, my mood this week has been happy, I'm healthy, which means the baby is healthy and I'll be having good luck in the future!"
"Oookaaay... I kind of understand..." I said. Leave it to Rachel to be the weird one, "What about Nico?"
She walked over to Nico's easel, with the canvas covered in mostly black and some red mixed in, "Black means death, red means anger"
"Soo... I'm guessing... Nico's angry?" I said and looked at Nico, who was still sitting on the stool, with his head tilted to the side and with an 'I am not amused' expression. He mouthed to mouthed, 'Help me.' I smirked and shook my head no. That's what the little creep gets for pretending to not know me back at Camp Jupiter five years ago when Hera (Or Uh, Juno) had taken away my memory.
Annabeth waved her hand as in to dismiss the conversation, "Um... Yeah, that's not what we came to talk about"
"Oh, oh right! Sorry!" Rachel said sitting down on the couch and tying her frizzy red hair into a low pony tail. She patted the spot next to her, "Sit down" Annabeth sat down next to Rachel. She gasped, "Did you try the white stick thingy?"
"Yea-"
"Why don't you just call it a pregnancy test?" I asked, cutting Annabeth off, "It would've been much easier for me and caused me much less frustration. I was googling for days and nothing!"
"Don't blame me because you have kelp for a brain" Rachel said with a smirk and turned back to Annabeth, "So, what? Are you pregnant?"
"Yeah"
Rachel squealed and threw her arms around her, "Oh my gods! You're pregnant!"
Rachel let go and Annabeth asked, "B-But am I gonna be as big as you in seven months?"
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Rachel's seven months pregnant.
"Oh no, don't worry!" She said laughing, "You'll definitely not be as big as me. It's just that Nico has a big head"
Another thing I forgot: she's pregnant with Nico. They've been together for three years. How? I have no idea. They're the last couple I expected, but, it happened.
Nico sat up, "Hey! I don't have a big head!"
"Don't lie. You know it's true" She said.
"My head is not big! I have a normal sized head!" He protested.
"Nico, why don't you go show Percy the kitchen?" Rachel said.
"But he's been in our kitchen hundreds of times..."
"Well then make this the hundredth and one time!" Rachel yelled, reaching for an empty vase on the coffee table in front of the couch. Seeing Rachel reaching for the vase, Nico quickly got up, yelled my name and ran for the kitchen. Rachel put the vase back down on the table and smiled contently.
I walked into the kitchen and snickered, "What was that all about?"
"Rachel's been kind of abusive throughout her pregnancy" Nico said taking out two cans of coke from the fridge.
I snorted and sat down on the table "I'm surprised you're still alive"
"I know," He huffed and sat down on the table across from me and gave me a coke, "Me too"
I opened the can and drank, "Just two more months, you can last that long, right?"
"Yeah, but, I'm actually more worried about after the baby is born. I don't know how to take care of one!"
"Neither do I... Why don't you ask your dad? He's had like, what, four kids? He should know how to take care of babies"
"Actually, it's gonna be six in like a few months. Persephone's pregnant again, she's having twins"
"Persephone's pregnant again?" I whistled, "They've been busy. Why didn't you tell me?"
Nico shrugged, "You didn't ask"
With Annabeth & Rachel~
"Okay, okay, so what are you hoping it'll be? Boy? Girl?" Rachel asked.
"Hmm... Girl. Hopefully she'll be smart and wise like me and not so much... Seaweed brained..." Annabeth said.
"Ooh! I wonder what it'll look like! If it's a girl, her hair should be black like Percy's, but wavy like yours and her eyes should be gray! And she should have Percy's dumb smile and look like him and be smart like you!" Rachel exclaimed, "Oh! Oh! And if it's a guy, he should have blonde, messy hair like those really cute surfer guys and... And... Percy's sea-green eyes and he should look like you! And... Be really smart too, but be a little dumb, that'll be really cute! He should also have a nice tan! And... Ha-"
"Rachel... Rachel," Annabeth called, "Rachel!"
"Huh? Uh yeah?"
"We're talking about how my baby will look like, not your dream man"
"Oh... Oh right! Sorry! Got a little distracted" Rachel said with a giggle.
"What about you? Did you decide after all to wait until the baby Is born to find out if it's a boy or a girl?"
Rachel turned around to look at the kitchen then turned back around and leaned in closer to Annabeth, "First of all, no" She whispered, "Second, if they're boys or girls"
"THEY'RE?" Annabeth nearly shouted.
Rachel nodded, "Yup! I'm having twins!" She squealed.
"Nico's gonna freak when he finds out! If he can't take care of a turtle, he surely can't take care of a baby! Let alone two!"
"Nah, he'll be fine" Rachel said waving her hand dismissively, "But, if you want parenting advice, I'd go to Thalia, she already has a kid, she'll be more help than me. But I can help you on how to be less stressed out during your pregnancy and stuff like that"
Annabeth nodded, "Okay... Yeah, that sounds good"
"Ooh! How about tomorrow morning you come over for yoga?"
"Yoga? Uh... Are you going to be able to do that with your belly in the way?"
"What? Sure I will!" Rachel said.
"Um... Okay...?" Annabeth said, trying to imagine how the Hades Rachel was going to manage doing yoga,
Next Morning~
"YOU'RE WHAT?" Thalia shouted into her cell phone.
"I knew you'd freak out" Annabeth said.
"Okay, how did that happen?"
"Uh... I think we both know" Annabeth said, "A man and woman get together and th-"
"That's not what I meant!" Thalia exclaimed, "You know what, I'm coming over"
"Wait but-"
Thalia hung up her cell phone and shook Apollo, "Apollo..." She called out. He didn't move. She shook him harder, "Apollo!" She kicked him, "APOLLO!"
Apollo jumped and almost fell off the bed, "WHAT?"
She walked over to the closet and grabbed a sweater "Put a shirt on, you're driving me to Annabeth's and Percy's apartment"
"Can't you drive yourself?" He groaned. She gave him one of her famous, 'Thalia death glares' "Okay, okay. I'm getting up"
"Hurry up, then. Or you're not getting any breakfast"
I made it Nico/Rachel and Apollo/Thalia since those two aren't very popular pairings & I thought I'd give it a shot:p
More couples to come~
Please review. :3
