Guys this was the longest I have gone without updating and Im sorry, but to be fair the holidays are aproaching. Those of you who voted in my poll are the best! So if you can see things are sort of sliwing down before it was like jumping from week to week, not its more like day to day.

I could hear someone whistling and moving things around. I knew I had to open my eyes sometime, but I did want to face whoever was there. I could feel whoever it was lift up my shirt and rub something cold on my stomach.

"Do you want to see your baby? "

I opened my eyes in an instant. It was Apollo, he gave me a half smile and then pointed over to a small screen. I couldn't see anything at first, but I could hear it. The fast heartbeat of my baby, I couldn't help but smile. I closed my eyes listening to the heartbeat, until Apollo again brought my attention to the screen.

This time I could see the outline of a baby, my baby. Rachel came in the room and filled Apollo in on what has happened, but I couldn't hear them. I was too busy admiring the image on the screen, everything was becoming so real. Their wasn't much; it was more of a light blue silhouette of a baby, but every thirty seconds or so I could see his arm move or his leg kick. I was weird to think that there was a little living being moving around inside you.

"Do you want to know the sex? ", Apollo asked turning away from Rachel.

"I know how the sex happened. "

"No not that sex! The sex, as in gender. ", Rachel said annoyed at the question.

She seems rather stressed today, I should help her relax. For all the stuff she does for me I owe it to her, but it's hard to help someone relax when I can't even get myself to relax." Yes I want to know. "

"Okay Nico congratulations! You are currently 16 weeks into carrying a beautiful bouncy baby boy, but be careful you were very close to having a miscarriage. ", Apollo said while packing up.

"Here is a picture of your ultrasound and a bottle of prenatal vitamins, that you should take twice a day, your due date is February 2 and you should see me again in December. "

Rachel slumped down into her chair after Apollo left. "Okay lets just be done with people for the day and take a nap. ", Rachel said rubbing her temples.

Just as we closed our eyes there was a knock at the door."Just ignore it and maybe they will go away. ", Rachel whispered refusing to open her eyes.

I had rushed over to Rachel's cave the minute Annabeth was done telling me what happened. My only stop was to run back into my cabin and put some clothes on. I knocked on her door, but nobody answered. I knew he was in their he was always here, and even if he wasn't Rachel had to have known.

"Open up Rachel it's Percy! ", I said knocking a few more times.

Just as I was about to check Nico's cabin, Annabeth ran up to me and told me it was empty. I was still upset at her, did she really think I would betray her like that and if what she said was true Nico or the baby could be hurt.

"RACHEL OPEN THIS DOOR! "

"Percy leave I'm busy ", Rachel said.

"With what? And why didn't you respond the first time? "

"Because I'm... Uh... Masturbating. "

It took me a second to get over what she said, but I know for a fact that Rachel finds masturbation gross. Which has to suck since that is the only form of sexual activity she is allowed to do, being an eternal virgin and all.

"Rachel, I know he is in there. I just want to talk to him, Annabeth and I both swear not to tell anyone. "

I could hear rustling on the other side of the door, until Rachel finally opened the door. Rachel leaned against the door, she looked exhausted.

"What can I do for you Percy? ", she said running a hand through her hair.

I am defiantly not in the mood to go along with one of Rachel's games. I grabbed her by her sides and placed her behind. I expected her to protest, but I think she was just too tired to do anything.I only had to take one step before I noticed Nico standing awkwardly in the corner, his hands by his slightly enlarged picture clutching onto a picture as if it were Pandora's box.

I didn't know what to say to him, he looked like he was about to break. I went up to him and wrapped my arms around him, anything to keep him from falling apart.

"I promise everything is going to be fine. ", I said softly rubbing circled on his back. I could feel his tears on my shoulder. We weren't done talking about this, I just couldn't do it now while everyone looked as if they were about to pass out.
