Annabeth's POV
Piper was telling me what was going on because me and Thalia were freaking out. While she was telling us this she was crying along with Alex who had his head shoved into Thalia's leg trying to hide his tears. I was shocked. The infection had reached Percy's heart and was starting to kill him at a faster rate. I couldn't even begin to describe what I was feeling at the moment. AJ was sleeping in my arms and I put her in the crib not trusting myself to hold her at the moment. I was shaking and I could feel my eyes stinging with tears that I kept blinking back. I kissed AJ on the fore head after I laid her down.
"I need to see him. I don't care how bad he looks. He was by my side every step of the way when we were younger. He never gave up on me and I'm not going to give up on him." I told them
"Annabeth are you sure?" Thalia asked me
"I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I'm going to go see him." I told her
"I will watch AJ. Go ahead." She told me and I walked out of the room
I walked to Percy's room and I could hear Nico talking to Chiron. I took in a breath and walked in. Will was taking a cloth and dipping it into a nectar solution. i looked at Nico and he looked at me. I looked at Percy and got a sick feeling in my stomach. His right side was green and yellow. It was really sick looking. I was happy I had a strong stomach or else I would have thrown up at the site of it.
"Annabeth let me see you in the hallway." Nico told me
We walked into the hallway.
"Annabeth I don't think you should be in there. He almost died earlier if Will hadn't gotten here with that solution when he did Percy would be dead." He told me
"I'm not leaving his side Nico. He never left mine when we were younger. I just need to be with him right now." I told him determined to stay with Percy
Nico sighed. "You have that look in your eyes that says your not going to give up so I'm not going to argue with you." He told me
"So can I stay with him?" I asked him
"Fine you can stay with him." He told me and we walked back in
"Nico why don't we go let the girls know what is going on." Chiron told him
"Okay." Nico said and they walked out
I grabbed a chair and sat down by Will.
"Need any help?" I asked him
"Sure grab a rag and just dip it in the solution. You just sit it on the yellow and green spots. It helps dissolve the poison and so far it seems to be working." He told me
I did as he said. "Thanks for all your help Will." I told him
"Don't mention it Annabeth anything for my family. So how are you doing? With everything going on?" he asked me
"Okay I guess, I mean I hope Luke dies in a hole but then again I can't really blame him for everything. Some of it was my fault." I told him
"None of it was your fault Annabeth Luke is just a little messed up in the brain. He had an abusive mother and a father that only showed up every once in a while. I just don't understand why you didn't leave him after the first time." He told me
"He swore to me it would never happen again. After it did happen again he threatened my life so I was just afraid of him. I didn't know what all he could do so I just played it safe." I told him
"I guess I understand. I have always been afraid to go back home to my mom because she had a baby with some other guy that I haven't met before. I was afraid that I would put her and the baby in danger because I am a demi-god and we just can cause things like that to happen." He told me
"When was the last time you went home?" I asked him
"About two years ago." He told me
"I'm sorry about that Will." I told him
"I send her letters telling her how everything is here and she contacts back sending me pictures of her and the baby. It's a girl named Gabby by the way. She will be two in a few weeks." He told me
"Does she know who the dad is?" I asked him
"Yeah she does but she won't tell me so I don't know who he is." He told me
"Its working." I said looking at Percy's right torso that I had been working on while we were talking. The infection was gone and Will's side was almost done.
"Not a surprise. I'm just happy it is working the way it is." He told me
"So who thought of this solution whatever it is?" I asked him
"Percy thought of it after I told him about us just using regular water. He suggested we use sault water because it does make him stronger than just plain water. So I took sault water and mixed Nectar into it to make this and it seems to be doing very well." He told me
"He is such a seaweed brain." I said
Will just nodded. We worked for about another hour in silence and decided that we had flushed out the infection. Will took the rags and the bole and left. I looked out the window and the sun was up. It was maybe noon at most. I grabbed Percy's hand.
"Percy if you can hear me right now I want to tell you that I am sorry for getting you into this mess. I had a daughter named AJ I don't know if Nico told you earlier but I just wanted you to know. She has blond wavy hair and eyes that have the color of ice. They have a blue tent to them and that's what makes them look like ice. She is so beautiful Percy. I hope you get a chance to meet her." I told him with tears coming to my eyes
"Gods Percy I hope you will be okay. I don't know what I would do without you." I said some tears slipping out
"Anna?" I heard a little voice say
I looked at the door and seen Alex standing there.
"Come in buddy." I told him and he came and sat on the chair next to me
"Is he going to be okay?" he asked me
"I don't know buddy. I hope he will be." I told him
"Nico said he was getting better." He told me
"I know. But Percy is very unpredictable." I told him
"AJ was crying and Nico had to take her because Thalia was freaking out about Percy." He told me
"Tell them I will be out there in a minute to take care of her." I told him
"Okay, I will." He told me and left the room.
"By Percy." I told him and let go of his hand and walked out the door.
I walked out into the hallway and stopped for a minute to take a breath. I was afraid of everything that had happen in the last two days. With Luke running all over the city and Percy dying, I didn't know what to do. But then I remember what Thalia told me about Nico taking Luke to Olympus. I was afraid of what his punishment would be for him if there would be one.
"Annabeth can you take AJ I can't get her to stop crying." Nico told me walking over to me with her in his arms.
I smiled at him shaking my head. "What are you going to do when Thalia has her baby?" I asked him taking AJ.
"I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Thalia will have mother instincts so doesn't the dad get father instincts or something?" he asked me
"I don't know." I told him and started humming a song.
AJ stopped crying and yawned when the song was half way through. When the song was over she was asleep.
"See that was simple." I whispered to him and walked back into my room to lay her down.
"That was cool to watch. So how are you doing?" he asked me after I closed my door
"Okay, in some pain but that is to be expected. What are the Gods going to do with Luke?" I asked him
"Don't know and don't really care as long as he is away from you and everyone else here I'm content." He told me
"They can't kill him without him first seeing his daughter. They have to at least give him that." I told him
"If I were you Annabeth I would contacted your mother." He told me and walked out of the big house.
I walked into the bathroom and went to IM my mother. This should be fun.
Let me know what you think. -Thalia
