Yay, Chapter Three is up!
-The character is Luke Castellan.
-Please review, follow and/or favorite. Don't be a silent reader. Suggestions on the next reborn character? Preferably someone that the Heroes of Olympus characters (Piper, Leo, Jason, Reyna, etc.) can star in…?
-In this chapter, Leo is back with Calypso and Percy and Annabeth are married and having their first kid. The Luke in here is the same as the Luke from the first chapter.
Reincarnations
Chapter Three: Luke Castellan
Percy's POV
I've never seen Annabeth in so much pain, and we've been to Tartarus. There's nothing I can do to help her, though, only hold her hand and hope for the best. Her face is dotted with sweat and her eyes squeezed shut in pain.
I push a lock of her curly blond hair away from her face, hoping the torture will end soon.
Finally, after another thirty minutes, the baby is born and out, and Annabeth's entire posture relaxes. The other people here start whooping (cough Leo cough) and everybody else starts congratulating us.
Annabeth cranes her head. "Where is he?" she says, her voice is slightly hoarse but still beautiful and sweet. As if hearing my thoughts, Piper smirks.
"Ooh, the nurse better come back soon, Mama Bear is coming out," Thalia jokes, earning a glare from Annabeth.
"Shut up," she grumbles but her eyes glint amusedly.
Finally the nurse returns, carrying the baby which is swaddled in a white blanket, in her arms. She passes him to Annabeth, which looks at him lovingly, moving the cloth away from his face.
Then we freeze. I feel like my insides are frozen.
Thalia comes over to see why we're both so surprised, and freezes as well.
Because our child… our firstborn, looks so hauntingly similar to Luke Castellan, who died saving us and the Olympians from Kronos. Apparently he chose rebirth, but ending up as our son? What are the chances…?
His head is covered with a sandy colored fuzz, which definitely isn't from either of our genes. Annabeth's hair is golden blond, my hair is pure black, and even if we mixed our hair colors together it wouldn't be the exact hair color that Luke had. Even his skin color… his eyes… they match his. Perfectly.
After breaking away from our trance, Thalia, Annabeth and I exchange glances before letting everybody else fawn over him.
I step back and sigh. My mind comes up with one thought. Luke Castellan = our son.
Finally, Calypso (who has, thankfully, forgave me) clears her throat and asks, albeit shyly, "what's his name?"
Without hesitation, Annabeth and I say "Luke" at the same time.
~FOURTEEN YEARS LATER~
Luke, Annabeth and I are in my sea green Prius, on our way to Camp Half-Blood. Annabeth sits in shotgun, leaving the backseat to Luke and our two other kids, eleven year old Zoe Silena Jackson and nine year old Ferdinand Charles Jackson. My family is complete.
Annabeth and I smile to each other, and we link hands. Life is good.
-A happy ending for the Jackson family I think they deserve it though…
-Suggestions, feedback, ideas, but no flames please!
R&R, F&F~
