Hey guys, so this chapter is going to be Frank/Hazel. You might have noticed that I'm a Leo/Hazel fan, but I'm not bias. I won't criticize Frank/Hazel's relationship or anything. It's just that if I had to choose for Lazel or Frazel to be canon, I would choose Lazel. I added some Leo/Hazel sister-brother bonding in there, because you have to admit, you can see them acting that way, and they also have lot's of inside stuff because of Sammy and stuff...so, yeah...So, everyone asked for a Frazel chapter, so here it is!
It was August 18th, the day the Second Titan War ended, and also Percy's birthday, and also Percy and Annabeth's anniversary. The Seven of the Prophecy decided to get together to celebrate after the party at CampHalf-Blood.
Hazel felt horrible. She had known that she was pregnant for about a month, but she didn't know what to do. She was only twenty-four! She couldn't get pregnant that young! But then again, things now days were probably different than the forties. And she didn't know how to tell Frank. How would he take it?
The Seven were in Annabeth and Percy's apartment and were having cake and ice cream (blue, of course).
"So, what should we do?" Jason asked as everyone gathered around the living room.
"Let's play games!" Piper suggested.
"Not Truth or Dare." Hazel immediately said. She had bad memories of that game.
"Oh, yeah. We are so not playing that game." Percy pointed his fork at Hazel.
"How about Scrabble?" Annabeth proposed.
Everyone groaned.
"Annabeth, we are never, ever, ever going to play that game with you." Percy told his wife, who pouted.
"Like, ever." Leo said in a high voice, and then started singing the song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift, but putting in the words 'We are never, ever, ever going to play that game.'
Everyone laughed and Leo mocked a bow and said in an Elvis voice, "Thank you, thank you very much!"
Hazel laughed. "I wish I was still alive to see Elvis! But I died before he probably just started singing."
Piper started laughing even harder. "If people heard our conversations…"
"They'd put us in a mental hospital." Jason finished.
The laughter died after a minute, and then Frank said, "How about we play charades?"
"Oh! I love that game!" Hazel said happily.
Everyone started agreeing so Percy shrugged and said, "Then let's play! What should the teams be?"
They decided to split the group in half (sort of). Hazel, Leo, and Frank were a team, and Jason, Piper, Percy, and Annabeth were a team.
Annabeth drew a card and read it. She put it face down and started to mimic cradling something in her arms.
"Baby!" Percy said and Annabeth pointed to him, nodding. Then she pointed to her stomach and mimicked the baby again.
"Pregnant?" Piper guessed. Hazel felt sick to her stomach as Annabeth nodded and said, "Piper got it!"
"Our turn!" Leo said happily. "Who wants to go?"
"Frank, how about you go?" Hazel volunteered her husband.
"Uh, I'm not really good at charades…" Frank's face was slightly red.
"So? No one else here is! Come on, it'll be fun!" Hazel prompted and so Frank reluctantly took a card.
He stood in the center of the room and read the card. He frowned and read it again. Frank looked like he was thinking for a minute and then set the card on the table. He closed his eyes and then transformed into a tiger.
"Tiger!" Leo exclaimed.
Frank transformed back and said, "That's it."
"Hey! That's against the rules!" Percy protested, having his team members back him up.
"Oh, really? Then let's read the rules!" Leo said, and he grabbed the rule sheet out of the box. "It says that you cannot say anything or mouth the words. It says nothing about changing into the actual object."
"That's because it doesn't need to! No one else in the world is a shape-shifter!" Jason pointed out.
"But it's not against the rules." Leo smirked. "Point us."
The game went on and no one 'broke' the rules or anything. Finally it was Leo's turn and he drew a card. He read it and then chuckled. "Oh, the irony."
Leo opened his hand and fire danced across his palm.
"Fire resistant!" Frank said.
Leo raised his eyebrows and shook his head. He pointed to the fire and turned to Hazel.
"Uh, fire user?" Hazel tried.
Leo face-palmed, but caught his hair on fire. He glared and tried to get it out.
"Oh, fire!" Frank realized.
"Yes!" Leo sounded relieved. "How was that not obvious?"
"It's cheating." Percy mumbled, but didn't try to protest much.
"And looks like we win!" Leo said triumphantly.
"Because you cheated." Jason muttered.
"Ah, don't be a poor sport." Leo waved his arm. "It's just a game." Then he added a little bit more quietly, "That Team Leo won."
"Since when are we Team Leo?" Frank raised an eyebrow.
"Dude, are you on Team Leo or Team Narcissus?" Leo asked. Everyone didn't really understand what he meant, but Hazel giggled.
"Everyone his on Team Leo." Hazel added, receiving more confused looks.
"I'm confused." Percy announced.
"Since when are you not?" Annabeth muttered.
A small, quiet voice behind everyone said, "Mommy? Daddy?"
Everyone turned around and saw a pair of small sea green eyes and a head of curly blonde hair.
"Silena, sweetie, what are you doing up?" Annabeth asked her daughter as the two year old stumbled over to her mother.
"I scared." Silena said, hugging her mother.
Hazel watched Annabeth comfort her daughter and realized that she really wanted a kid.
Annabeth put Silena back to bed and fifteen minutes later they were all back together and talking. It was midnight, so they decided to watch a movie and then call it a night.
"Hey Hazel, could you pass me the remote?" Percy asked his cousin.
"I'm pregnant!" Hazel blurted and then her hands immediately covered her mouth. She didn't mean to say that!
Everyone was quiet. Then Piper said, "Uh, are you kidding, or…are you really pregnant?"
"I'm pregnant." Hazel said slowly. "I have been for two months. I found out a while ago."
Everyone was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Then, simultaneously, everyone turned to look at Frank, who was choking on a piece of cake.
"Uh, well, I, um…Hazel and I…we….help?" Frank stammered, his face red.
"Wait, you're pregnant?" Leo said slowly.
Hazel nodded.
"You? Hazel Zhang?"
Another nod.
"I'm sorry, I can't believe this. Don't you come from a land where people don't get pregnant until they're like fifty and then die when they're fifty-two?" Leo asked, obviously confused.
"I'm not that old, Leo!" Hazel rolled her eyes.
"Have you told Nico yet?" Leo asked, a devious grin coming up to his face.
"No." Hazel said in a small voice. "I'm not sure I want to. He might kill Frank."
"Yeah, about that, how did this happen?!" Percy exclaimed.
Hazel and Frank's faces both went red and they started stammering.
"Well, my dear Percy, when two people want to have a baby," Leo put his arm around Percy and sounded like he was talking to a five-year-old. "They—"
"We know." Piper interrupted. "Percy was just asking a rhetorical question."
"A what?"
"Never mind."
"You know, the name Leo the Second is still free to be taken." Leo grinned at Hazel and Frank.
"I was thinking of Sammy." Hazel said softly and Leo's eyes softened.
"Sammy…that's a good one." Leo nodded.
"Name our kid after the guy you liked?" Frank frowned. "I'm not sure I like that idea."
"Oh, come on! Sammy was my best friend! And…" Hazel trailed off, thinking he blamed the curse on me leaving. I'm guilty about that.
"Well, you could always name him Percy Junior." Percy interrupted the awkward silence.
"The baby might not even be a boy! How about name her Piper?" Piper grinned.
"What about Annabeth? That's a good name!" Annabeth added.
Everyone started talking all at once and Hazel thought, hey, this might not be so bad.
Read and review! Oh, and I had this theory about the House of Hades: what if it isn't one of the Seven that has to stay in Tartarus? What if Octavian is the one that closes the Doors of Death? That would be a good plot twist, and it would make sense because he reminds everyone of Luke and Luke was a traitor but died a heroic death! I just had to get my opinion out. I said it in another fanfic, but I wanted more people to hear it and who knows? It might happen? Well, hoped you like this chapter!
