"Bye Percy," Annabeth said, hugging him, and she felt his warm arms wrapping around her waist as he hugged her back.
"Bye Annie, I'll be back in a few months," she sighed, pulling away from the hug, Her friends were there, Leo, Frank, Jason, Reyna, Hazel, Piper, and even her old friend Nico. They would be taking care of her while Percy was gone; the schedule had changed so he would be gone for almost all of her pregnancy. There was no escaping it though, he would have gotten fired, and Annabeth didn't want that. Percy escaped her arms, and he went to the limo waiting for him, she stepped back, and then felt Reyna hug her.
"Sweetie, it'll be okay. We're here," Annabeth let a tear fall, and then she went into the warm embrace of her friend. Coach Hedge was watching over Reyna and Jason's kids, along with Leo and Hazel's. Frank had left Hazel because he felt like he wasn't treating her right. Piper was saved by him, and they fell in love, it was a sweet story that Annabeth would tell her child one day. Reyna hugged her back, and then led her to the couch.
"Annabeth, rest, you have another appointment tomorrow, remember?" Piper said, and Annabeth nodded. She got up and walked upstairs, to her bedroom and laid down on her bed, sleeping.
Annabeth woke to her cell phone ringing, she answered it, and Percy's voice was on the other end,
"Hey Wise Girl, I'm here," he said, his voice sounded tired, but it made Annabeth happy. He had taken the time to call her, "how we doing?"
"Good, I just took a nap," she said, smiling at his voice,
"I took a pretty long one on the plane, did you know that they serve blue food in first class?" Annabeth laughed,
"Really? That's cool, I wonder if our kid will like blue food," she almost heard Percy smile,
"Yes, so do I," they talked for hours, until she had to go on Percy's orders.
-A few days later-
Annabeth walked up the stairs to her bedroom stressed. She had been for the past few days, and even though Leo had just finished making a spider killer that looked like a spider (She thought it was really ironic) for her so she wouldn't get bit, she wanted to be alone. Nico, Frank and Jason had been cleaning the house for her, and Reyna and Piper had been cooking for them. Reyna was an excellent cook, Piper make it all look pretty, because she's not a great cook. Hazel and Leo would get the food, and then Leo would make up crazy jokes that were so weird everyone laughed. Annabeth frowned at the fact that Leo was in her room; he had a crazy smile on his face.
"Leo, have I ever told you that the smile freaks me out?" she asked him, and he nodded and left to room. She jumped on her bed, hugging Percy's pillow, smelling it.
"I miss you Percy," she said, and as she squeezed it, she felt a crinkling; she knitted her eyebrows and pulled the paper out of the pillow case. Annabeth opened the folded paper and read the words out loud,
" 'Don't count the miles, count the 'I love you's – Christina'" she smiled, and then she folded the paper up, silently thanking the singer for sending it to her. Percy and Annabeth had met her before, she was pretty nice, and Annabeth had talked to her before. She trusted her, but not as much as any of her friends at her house. She sighed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
-Weeks later-
Annabeth had Reyna drive her to and from the doctor's office. It was a good thing too, she wouldn't have been able to drive home in the state she was in. She was crying, she couldn't stop, not until she got over it. Not until Percy heard the news.
"Annabeth, please tell me, I'm worried," Reyna said, as she was driving her home, Annabeth didn't reply, she only looked out her window until she got home. When she did, she ran upstairs and dialed Percy,
"Annabeth?! Are you alright? What happened?" Percy's voice calmed her down, and she was able to speak her words,
"P-Percy," she paused, letting a tear or two fall, "I went to the doctor today,"
"What did he say Annie?" Percy's voice was worried,
"I-I'm sorry, did y-you want a girl or a boy?" she held her breath, awaiting his answer,
"Annabeth? What?"
"Twins Percy. We're having twins."
So, if this chapter is highlighted in green, sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen, but it did, and my computer doesn't want to change it back. So, yeah, a boy and a girl. VOTE!
