Percy came too with his head resting on something warm, and someone running their fingers through his hair.

He rolled over and saw Annabeth, she smiled down at him as he sat up.

"what happened, did Nico really say what I though he said?"

"uh…yeh," came the answer from on the other couch.

Percy looked over to see Nico with his arm around a white faced Thalia

Everyone was silent until Nico hinted, "we…uh…don't exactly have, ya know, a place to stay."

"neither do we!" Annabeth countered.

Sally cut in, "I can fit Annabeth and Percy, but there's no way I could fit you two too."

"no," Percy, "I think that we should find a place of our own, Nico, Thalia, maybe the two of you could help to make rent?"

Annabeth glared at Percy.

"are you sure," Thalia was starting to get some color back, "we don't want to be…"

Percy cut her off, "so, you come and ask for a place to stay, then tell us you don't want to be a bother, does anybody see something odd here?"

Annabeth glared at Percy.

"Alright," Nico rejoined the conversation, "do you want to meet tomorrow to go apartment shopping?"

"sure!"

Annabeth glared at Percy.

"well, we should go…" Thalia started.

"nonsense," Sally cut in, "you two can stay here tonight!"

Annabeth continued to glare at Percy.

"ok…umm…can we get our stuff from the car?"

Percy gave Nico a weird look, "you seem to be pretty confident that we'd let you stay."

Nico and Thalia both blushed bright red and Nico muttered, "we, uh, kinda live in it."

"ok," Sally said, "do you want help, I'd be glad to carry a few things.

As soon as the door shut Annabeth exploded, "perseus Jackson! Why the Hades did you tell them they could stay! Did you even think about asking me!"

"of course, and I know that you would do anything for Thalia, plus, you heard, they're living in a car."

Annabeth fell silent for a moment, then looked at Percy and pouted, "I would like to at least be a part of that kind of descion, I understand that they're our friends and all, but honestly, Percy, have you ever tried to live with Thalia!"

"I…" Percy started as the door flung open, Paul walked in and asked, "Percy, why is your mother walking out with two teenagers?"

"she getting their things."

"ummm…so…are they living with us or something?"

Annabeth piped in, "no Paul, they're staying with us."

"…us? Us who?"

"Percy and I."

"um…when was I going to be told you're moving out?"

"Paul, I learned about it within the last half hour."

"so, why exactly are you moving out."

"I…uh…well…you see…"

"I'm pregnant"

"yeh, that!" Percy finished.

Paul stood with his mouth open for a minute, then Sally walked into the apartment with Nico and Thalia.

Paul turned to her and asked, "did you know about this?"

"Paul, I learned about it within the last half an hour."

"well," Thalia broke the tension in the air, "is there somewhere we can put our things?"

"sure," Sally faced Thalia, you and Annabeth can take the bedrooms, Thalia you get the spare and Annabeth gets Percy's, boys you can…"

"Sally," Annabeth interrupted, "we're both already pregnant, what harm could come from us sleeping in the same bed as our boyfriends?"

Paul passed out on the spot.

Ok, I wrote this whilst listening to the song mixed emotions by the rolling stones, so, yeh… awesome song, and I think I'll actually dedicate this chapter to it, I was thinking about how they would both react and as I listened to the song a thought about Annabeth mixed emotions to having Nico and Thalia living with them.

Percy's reaction to the whole Nico/Thalia baby thing was, I think, really in character, Annabeth reaction was the control freak daughter of Athena we all know and love.

Ok, so Thalia, joined the hunt to avoid the prophecy, left after TLH, this is about a month after that so…yeh…
