I love reading your reviews, they can be so funny. All of you guys wanted to know when Percy was going to find out about the baby! Well, he's going to find out in a few seconds. I can't believe none of you guys commented on the Adam-Annabeth scene! That was my favorite part of the last chapter, I thought for sure you guys would have said something. This isn't betaed, I just got home from school and I am so so so tired. I just wanted to go ahead and post this so please forgive me for any mistakes.

Disclaimer: Go back and look at Chapter One.

Chapter Ten: Confessions

Percy's POV

In the month following Piper and Jason's wedding, Annabeth and I have been trying our best to make our relationship work. Both of us decided not to go to a couple's therapist, which has been the one thing both of us could agree on in a while. We wanted to fix our relationship ourselves; we damaged it so we would fix it.

But I'm pretty sure it was Annabeth's pride that really didn't want to go to a therapist. Not that I can talk because it was just as much my pride as it was hers that made the decision.

We did decide that we need to have a weekend alone to talk about our problems and get everything off our chest. When we asked my parents if they would watch Adam so we could go to Montauk to do so, they agreed right away. They were proud that we were going to try to work out our problems.

The morning it was time for us to leave for the beach, I came downstairs and went into the living room to find Adam kneeling at Annabeth's side, whispering to her stomach, as she slept.

"Um, Adam. Why are you talking to your mom's stomach?" I asked.

"Shhh, daddy. I'm talking to the baby. Mommy thinks it could be a girl but I just know it's a boy. I'm telling him all the fun things were going to do together when he's here." Adam waved me away and continued to talk to the baby. Not even realizing he just told me something that I'm sure, Annabeth didn't want him to tell me.

I couldn't believe she was pregnant. Questions raced through out my mind. How far along was she? How long has she known? Why didn't she tell me? Was she ever going to tell me?

When we dropped Adam off and headed to the beach all I could think about was the baby. I could hardly stop myself from looking away from the road and look at her stomach, which I could see now was slightly rounded. I tried to keep calm and not show that I knew she was pregnant. She was obviously keeping this from for a reason. I wish I could be mad at her for not telling me right away but I couldn't. Not after everything I've put her through. I was in no position to be angry.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice me pulling in front of the cabin and Annabeth getting out of the car, walking towards the ocean. I got out of the car and followed her. I stopped a next to her keeping few feet in between us. It was those few feet that snapped me out of my shock of the baby and reminded me why we were here. We have never stood this far apart. Never. And as much as I wanted to question her about the baby I knew we need to talk before I could.

I didn't know how much longer I could stand this. This distance, especially since I knew it was me who put it there. I pushed Annabeth away and kept her at an arm's length, not wanting to mend the distance I so desperately need at one point.

Even though I didn't need it anymore, the distance was still there. So I couldn't help but wonder as I looked at Annabeth, who stood with her arms wrapped around her stomach, if it was her who now needed it.

"Percy! Percy!" Annabeth shrieked from inside the cabin as I stood on the porch watching the waves roll in.

"What is it?" I rushed into the cabin to see Annabeth standing on the couch, staring at something on the floor in front of her. I looked down at what she was staring at to find a spider sitting there.

"I'm so sorry, I forgot to have someone come up here and get rid of the spiders." I apologized as I disposed of the spider.

I thought Annabeth would have relaxed by now but she was still standing frozen on the couch. I looked at her with worried eyes and held out my hand to help her off the couch, "Annabeth, its okay. The spiders gone."

She didn't respond. She looked like she was about to puke. I guess she did because the next thing I know she's holding her hand to her mouth and pushing past me to get to the bathroom.

She's puking for the second time when I came in to hold her hair back. After the third time, I become worried, "Are you okay?"

She nodded and whispered, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" I asked as I helped her up and lead her to the bedroom.

"Yes, I'll be fine. It must have been something I ate." She sighed as she laid down on the bed. I frowned as I recalled that she had barely eaten anything all day. Realizing it must be morning sickness, I didn't press the matter. When I made sure she was comfortable I started to leave the room.

Before I could leave Annabeth called out, "Percy? Will you stay with me?"

Surprised I laid next to her. We hadn't laid in the same bed in months. We were both lying on our sides and facing each other with our hands in the middle of us. I inched my hand forward until it covered hers.

I watched her sleep for a few minutes before I started to drift off as well. I was bordering on the edge of dreams when Annabeth voice pulled me back to reality, "Have you ever cheated on me, Percy?"

My eyes flew open and I found her gray eyes staring at me, they were filled to the brim with unshed tears. I was shocked and kind of angry that she would ask me this question but I quickly remembered how I'd been acting. If Annabeth had acted like I did I would have had my suspicions as well.

I didn't realize I hadn't replied until I felt Annabeth start to get out of bed with tears falling down her cheeks. I pulled her to me as I sat up and wrapped my arms around her. She tried to fight me and pull away but I didn't let her go. I would never let her go.

Soon, she stopped fighting me and cried against my chest. I buried my face into her neck and took a deep breath before I pulled away and spoke, "Annabeth, I never cheated on you. I swear."

She didn't say anything so I went on, my eyes getting a little misty, "I wish I could say I could ask you how you could even think I would cheat on you but with my behavior I would be suspicious as well."

She laughed a little before pulling away and looking at me, "So you never cheated on me. What about Drew?"

"Never. What about her? I don't even remember her but she seems to think that we're meant to be. She's crazy! Although there was this time a girl tried to initiate something." I confessed.

"Why didn't you cave?"

"Because when I looked at her I didn't see you." I pressed my forehead against hers and bore into her eyes. "I didn't see curly blonde hair or the striking grey eyes I loved. Annabeth, I may be an ass from time to time but I've never cheated on you and I never will. You're it for me. I don't want anyone else. Ever."

With that said, I closed the gap between us. She kissed me back, after a few moments. All too soon she was pulling back, but it was only to whisper, "Gods, I've missed you."

Smiling, I trailed kisses down her throat and her jaw. She threaded her hands through my hair and tugged me back to her lips, with a faint smile of her own gracing her lips. The next time one of us pulled away it was me and trailed my lips across her cheek and pressed a kiss against her ear before I whispered, "I love you, Wisegirl."

"I love you too, Seaweedbrain."

I woke up the next morning to the sound of Annabeth jumping out of bed and running towards, I assumed, the bathroom. I jumped out of bed and ran after her. She was puking again. I didn't say anything, I just held her hair back.

"Go back to bed, Perce. I'm fine." She told me when she finally stopped puking.

"Annabeth, I'm not going back to bed. Do you need anything?"

"Percy, I'm fine, I swear, I just have…" She trailed off looking anywhere but me.

"You have what?" I played along, realizing what she was trying to tell me.

"I have morning sickness." She sighed and finally looked at me. "I'm pregnant, Perce."

Annabeth's POV

I honestly didn't know how Percy would react when I told him I was pregnant, but I definitely didn't' expect him to nod and say, "I know."

"You know." I repeat dumbstruck.

"Sweetheart, if you didn't want me to know then you probably shouldn't have told our six year old son."

I lean my forehead against his shoulder and laughed, "You're right. I think I knew deep down that Adam would tell you."

"Was I really that much of an ass to where you felt you couldn't tell me you were pregnant?" He asked regret filling his voice as he put one hand on my lower back and the other on my slightly rounded stomach.

Not wanting to admit he was I just replied, "I tried to tell you the night I came home from hanging out with Cathy. But I couldn't find the words for it. I had just found out that afternoon."

"I don't blame you. How can I?" he kissed my neck in comfort. We sat in silence for a while and for once it wasn't a tense uncomfortable silence.

"How far along are you?" Percy whispered breaking the silence.

"I'm five months now." I told him getting up to go brush my teeth.

"I can't believe this." He whispers from the floor, one of his legs propped up and an arm behind his head. "We're having another baby. In four months."

I was so focused on staring at my stomach, wondering how a baby, our baby, was growing inside me, that I didn't even notice Percy standing behind me, staring too. He wrapped his arms around me, his hands resting slightly on the sides of my stomach.

He buried his head in the hollow of my neck and shoulder, kissing me there slightly and murmured, "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For everything. I don't deserve you. You've been such a great mother to our son and I know you'll be a great mother to this little one. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm thanking you for giving me a second chance. " He turned me around and took my face in his hands. He kissed me softly. "And for not leaving me."

"Who else have you told about the baby?" Percy asked as we made our way home from the beach that evening.

"Only Thalia and Cathy." I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes. I was so tired and I couldn't wait to climb into our bed and fall asleep.

"When do you want to tell people?" I could feel his eyes on me as we stopped at a stop light.

"We can tell your parents tomorrow when we pick Adam up."

"Yeah, Mom will be so excited. Do you know how long she's wanted another grandchild?" Percy grinned.

"I think I can imagine." I smile softly. We drove the rest of the way home in silence. As soon as we got home I went straight to bed. I felt Percy collapse beside me. It wasn't long before I was drifting off, dreaming of a baby with Percy's black hair and my grey eyes.

I don't like the ending but it was 6:00 AM when I finished this so forgive me if the ending is crappy. It's the best I can do right now when I'm running out of ideas and cringing at the thought of going back to school. I can't believe I'm saying this but this story only has 8 chapters left. I can't believe I've gotten this far. Honestly. Though I can't help but think no one even cares anymore. But I will continue for those few fans I still have left. I love you guys seriously, you make updating worth it 3

Until Next Time,
