DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! How do I know? Because My name is not Rick Riordan.

Percy's POV

It had been about a two months since the Pizza Party at camp half blood. Annabeth and I had gone back to New Rome and both of us were doing great in school. We had a school break and decided to get the gang back together and have another party since we haven't caused another world war (Yes both world war I and World War II were caused by demigods... don't ask.) Annabeth collected all of the money and then we went to the pizza parlor. We held hands the entire way and we were silent. I still remember what had happened last time we came here... three months ago:

When we got to the Pizza Parlor we ordered the pizza and we had to wait about 20 minutes. Annabeth pulled me outside while we were waiting and she said, "Percy I am sorry, I always bottle everything up inside and I should be open to you. We are getting married and I should learn to trust you with my feelings."

I hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Annabeth, I love you no matter what you tell me. OK. But if something is bothering you, especially if it is something I do, tell me."

She pulled away smiling with tears in her eyes. "Thank you." she said and she sealed it with a kiss.

I decide to kiss her in the exact same spot to show her that I am never going to forget that moment. She gladly returns the kiss and I can feel my heart beating.

We hear someone, A.K.A Paul (my step-father.) say, "Get a Room." We turn towards him and smile. "Hey Paul, how's it going?" I say grinning wildly. (A/N: When I originally wrote this it was in Annabeth's POV so I wrote Father in law, sorry.)

"I don't know, I am guessing that its going bad since you came all the way back to New York." He says pointing at the two of us.

Annabeth speaks up, "Paul we realized that because the last few months was so hectic we forgot to tell you that Percy and I are engaged, so we came back here to tell you and Sally, it was supposed to be a surprise."

She holds up her hand and shows him the ring. Paul grins and says, "Well Percy your mom is in the Bakery next store, one of her friends works there and she started craving cookies so..."

"Oh yeah how is Sally doing?" Annabeth asks quickly changing the subject. "She is good and I think since you two are engaged now she might want you to call her Mom." Paul says.

I link my arm around Annabeth's waist and say, "Well if you can pick the pizza up for us we will go in and tell mom the good news."

Paul nods and I hand him the money and he walks into the pizza parlor. Annabeth and I walk into the bakery and see my mom sitting by the cookie counter.

"Hey mom," I say waving at her when she turns around. She smiles brightly and pats on the bench next to her. We walk over and sit down. Annabeth puts her head on my shoulder and breathes in deep. I look at my mom and say, "Hey mom Me and Annabeth wanted to tell you that we are... Engaged." My mom's eyes twinkle and she beams. "I knew it was going to happen!" She says hugging us both. "So why did you ask her, did you find out she was pregnant or something?" I knew she was joking but Annabeth coughed and stared at her.

"Sally..." She started, "...Mom can I talk to you outside."

I stare at them as they walk outside and begin to talk.

Annabeth's POV

I had planned on telling Percy on the plane back to New Rome or at the Party today or when we were all alone in his cabin at Camp Half Blood; I did not however plan to tell him in a bakery after I confessed to his mother. I WAS PREGNANT.

I was two and a half months pregnant. Percy and I had decided to celebrate when we got back to New Rome after my curse was lifted. I was not however on my birth control pills and Percy forgot to wear his protection.

FLASHBACK:

I found out that I was Pregnant before we left to come here. Reyna and I had become rather close and she was helping me pack when I started to puke. I thought that I had gotten cursed again or worse but Reyna just sat there smiling. She handed me a bag that she had brought because she just 'had a feeling.' It was full of pregnancy tests. I thought she was crazy but I did them anyway. She said, "I will look at them and tell you what they say." I was going crazy, I might be pregnant, I haven't gotten my period and I have been really nauseous lately.

Reyna looked at all twenty (yes there was more but I didn't use them all.) and she told me that i was pregnant. I looked at her and said, "how many?" she replied, "17 positive, and 3 negative." Tears formed in my eyes, but I wasn't sad, I was so happy. I was going to be a mom! How was I going to tell Percy? I would figure that out later.

END OF FLASHBACK

"What's wrong sweetie?" Sally says jolting me out of my flash back.

"I... I am... I'm Pregnant." I say trying to be calm, "I was going to surprise Percy Later with it but I figured since you said something I should tell you."

Sally smiles, "Being Pregnant is the most wonderful feeling in the world... well after you get over the morning sickness."

"How do I tell him?" I ask, getting a little worried. "Why don't you start by saying hello and then continue form there."

Paul walks up behind Sally at that moment and says, "What are you guys talking about?" he is holding pizza boxes and a bag of garlic knots. Sally whispers my dilemma in his ear and he nods. "Tell him on the drive back to camp. Tell him you were gonna surprise him but Sally mentioned it and it just felt like the right time. OK." Paul says handing me the Pizza.

Sally kisses my cheek and she walks inside to tell Percy that I am ready. We begin to walk back and Paul says, "Wait where's your car?" Percy smiles and says, "We are walking. Bye Paul, Bye Mom"

I take a deep breath once we round the corner, "Percy. About before... Um... The reason I freaked out was..."

Percy grabs my face and kisses me making me fumble and almost drop the Pizza.

"I know, You are pregnant, Tell Reyna not to leave the Pregnancy tests in the bathroom next time." He says. His eyes are shining and he is grinning from ear to ear.

"You... You knew?" I ask trying to hide the fear bubbling inside of me, "Are you OK with it?"

He grins wider and says, "Yeah I knew, and of course I am OK with it, I am going to be a dad, You're going to be a mom!"
He links his arm around my waist again and we walk to camp. Another weight that has been on my shoulders since the plane ride has been lifted off, I just hope the gang will be OK with it.

I actually feel like I might be able to make it far enough, I might be able to die from old age or something, because dying of old age is better than dying in war.

Nico's POV

Annabeth and Percy are almost here with the Pizza. It's been three months since we've seen them in person. I have actually gotten a lot closer with Annabeth over those months. We have Iris Messaged a-lot and I realized that she is a lot like me. She bottles up her feelings inside, afraid to let them out; She loves her boyfriend to death and sometimes feels like she isn't worthy of him; And she just wanted someone to talk to about Percy. Sometimes Annabeth wants to tell him something but she doesn't know how, That's where I come in.

As soon as the door opens everyone yells, "SURPRISE!" When the door is fully open we see Annabeth with the pizza, she has tears in her eyes but she is smiling, Percy has his arm around her waist and he has tears in his eyes too. But I don't think it is because they are sad, they look really happy.

"Hi guys." Annabeth says her voice cracking. Piper rushes over and hugs her while Leo asks, "What took you guys so long? I am starving!" Calypso snuggles into his chest and Jason says, "Yeah I think you guys took a detour route."

Everyone is staring expectantly at the two of them when Annabeth says, "We have some great news for all of you."

Thalia steps forward and says, "Is this about what Reyna told me? Cause if it is ALL of you are gonna love it!"

"Wow Thalia, You know?" Percy says smiling wider. She nods and I stare at Annabeth. We lock eyes and I can feel a tiny little life inside of Annabeth. (I am not sure if Nico can sense life, but you'll understand later. And I apologize to anyone who hates me after what happens. But a Demigods life is never good.)

I feel a twinge on my death radar and I gasp clutching my head as Annabeth says, "I am pregnant"

Will catches me when I stumble and fall. "Nico are you OK?" Percy asks when I stand up.

Annabeth looks into my eyes and I can tell she knows. Her eyes fill with tears and she puts her hand on her stomach. She pushes the Pizza in Percy's hand and runs outside. I know I am not supposed to but I shadow travel to her and she falls on top of me. When we get up she asks, "Are you sure?" I nod and tears spill from her eyes. The others run outside and I say, "Take my hand, quickly." She does and I let the shadows engulf me as we go to a place where I might find help.

Will's POV

"AGHHH" I scream at the sky, "Why... He is gonna kill himself, Do doctors orders mean nothing to him!"

"Actually Doctors orders mean a lot to me, Maybe you should order me to hug you?" I turn around and find Nico with his arms open, ready for a doctor ordered hug.

"Fine, hug me... Doctors orders." I say pulling him in to the hug. "Where did you go? Why on earth did you shadow travel."

"Dad's palace and cause I had to find out if Annabeth's baby really did die." I pull away.

"Did it?" I ask.

"Yes and No" He says with a straight face. "She was going to have twins but now she is just going to have one baby."

I can't find words, but somehow I manage to nod. Poor Annabeth, "Did... Did she tell anyone?"

"Percy and she gave me permission to tell you." He says looking away.

I was going to try and brake the silence but Nico takes a deep breath and says, "I wish I could have a power like yours, you help people... I feel like my powers only cause people to be sad... 'Guess what I just felt your baby die congratulations.' or 'SURPRISE! I just shadow traveled and caused you to worry because I could kill myself'"

I don't know how to respond to this. Usually Nico has a confidence problem or a problem with being in the light and I can fix that, but how do you tell someone that a the power they possess is good... No power is ever good.

"Nico, your powers benefit you in ways that amaze me. You can do things that I can't and visa-versa." I grab his shoulders and make him face me as I say, "Your powers can help people in a different way than mine, I can only help people when they get hurt, but you... You can prevent them from getting hurt. You can summon Zombies and Skeletons. You can do so many things that I can't but that is why we are a team. You protect everybody and then I drag you to the infirmary and make you rest for 3 days while I heal the people you couldn't save."

Nico smiles, It is a small smile but he ends up chuckling and before I know it he is doubled over laughing his head off.

My smile wavers and I ask, "What did I say?"

Nico looks up at me and grins, "Well, I was just thinking about the last '3' days I had in the Infirmary emphasis on the '3'"

I chuckle along with him as I help him up. When he gets up I reach over to grab a book I have been reading, but before I can grab it Nico wraps his arms around me in a hug, I reach back to hug him too.

"I am glad I have you Solace." He whispers into my shirt, "No matter what happens in the future I am glad that I have you."

I smile and think, 'What does he mean by whatever happens in the future.' I untangle myself from Nico as I lay him down on my bed. I turn on the T.V. and How To Train Your Dragon 2 is on. I turn the lights off and Nico snuggles into my chest as we watch the movie. I got really into the moment when Hiccup's dad sacrificed himself for Hiccup that I almost missed Nico whisper into my ear, "I love you Solace, Don't you ever forget it." I turned to him as he fell asleep and kissed his forehead. "Love you too Angel, love you forever, I swear on the River Styx." (THUNDER BOOMING IN THE BACKGROUND!)
