Here's the chappie! :)
Annabeth POV:
"IT'S FINISHED!" Leo cackled in an evil laugh.
"Leo, watch the evil scientist laugh." Piper glared at him.
"But, yeah, it's finished!" I added, smiling brilliantly. "We're all ready to go!"
We high fived everyone who was around, which was basically the whole camp. They congratulated us, and what not. We were ready to find Percy, and finish whatever Hera had gambled with this switch.
As I watched everyone smile and jump around in excitement, I placed my hands on my stomach. I was 16 weeks and I had a small, but still noticeable baby bump. I tried wearing loose shirts as much as I could to draw attention away from the fact, but it was useless. Everyone could tell anyway.
"I think I remember where the camp is." He said. "It's somewhere near San Francisco. I remember what the entrance looked like." He said, scratching his head.
"Don't worry." Thalia said, patting Jason on his head, which was pretty funny, seeing that Jason was considerably taller than her.
"How long will you be gone?" Travis Stoll asked. "We wouldn't like want for you to pop out your kid in a Roman camp."
Piper rolled her eyes. "I doubt we'll be gone for more than a week or two." She laughed. "And babies don't pop out." She said, looking at Travis. "They co-"
"That's enough information Pipes." Thalia said quickly and loudly, saving everyone around us from some very unnecessary awkward.
Chiron made his way through the crowd, and came up to Jason, Leo, Piper, Thalia and I. He observed the work we had done, and smiled in approval.
"Remarkable." He smiled at all of us, and then at the rest of the camp. "I assume you all will be leaving tomorrow morning?" He asked.
"If that's allowed." Leo and Piper both said simultaneously.
"Of course." He said. "But, I must ask one thing of you all." He said, turning to Thalia, Piper, Leo and Jason. "You protect Annabeth at all costs. Do not let the Roman's touch her. Demand that they bring Percy, and if they do not, well…tell them the circumstances we are in." He said, looking at them all. Leo gave Chiron a salute and Jason gave him a very manly 'nod'.
"If you wouldn't mind telling them about your situation, Annabeth." He said, turning to me.
I shrugged, and drummed my fingers lightly on my stomach. "I think they'll figure it out soon enough." I said, looking at Chiron.
"Just making sure." He said. "Why don't you all head to your cabins and start preparing for tomorrow's voyage. Get some sleep too." He said.
After everyone congratulated us on finishing the boat, we went to dinner, packed things into the boat, showered, and then we went to our cabins.
I walked into my cabin. A few of my siblings were there, some were outside, and some were showering. I immediately crawled into my bed after saying goodnight to everyone, wanting to get as much sleep as I could. But of course, I was wide awake.
Now, this frustrated me a lot because when I was 7 weeks until I was around 13 weeks I was extremely tired all of the time. Leave it to my body to not want any sleep right when I'll need it most. At least I was lucky I didn't have very bad morning sickness or any strange cravings.
Eventually I drifted off to sleep. I was expecting some horrifying night mare like I'd usually have before leaving on a quest, but instead I had a particularly happy dream.
In my dream, I watched a young woman with long curly blonde hair carrying a toddler. I assumed I was the young woman, but I couldn't tell if the toddler was a boy or girl, since in my dream I was standing behind them.
I watched them walk for a little while and then a guy with messy black, most likely around the same age as the girl, walks up to behind them. The girl set the toddler down, and it ran into it's fathers arms, and the man picked the child up and gave the toddler a kiss on it's forehead.
Then, right as they were going to turn around to face me, I suddenly woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. After trying to continue dream, I gave up out of frustration. I sat up in my bunk, lightly drew patterns on my stomach with the tips of my fingers.
"I hope that was us." I whispered.
I got up out of my bed, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. I put on a pair of knee length shorts that still fit me, and a loose shirt over a tank top. I put on my converse, pulled my hair back into a pony tail and headed outside for breakfast.
The dining pavilion was completely empty, except for Piper and Leo who were already sitting at their tables eating, and then I spotted Thalia and Jason scraping parts of their food into the fire. I grabbed a plate, loaded it with lots of fruit and a muffin, and scraped a bit of the fruit into the fire.
"Please let him remember me." I whispered almost inaudibly, making a prayer to every god I could think of, but especially to Hera.
Because she was my only hope. She was the only one who could give Percy his memories back.
