Percy froze.
"What's wrong?" Annabeth asked, taking his hand. He didn't seem to hear her. Max started grumbling from his and Tobias's room.
"I do it!" Tobias insisted, jumping down from the sofa and running to his little brother. Annabeth couldn't help but smile, yet Percy didn't know what was happening.
"Percy, what's the matter?"
"Something's up with Lou."
"Like what?" Annabeth frowned. Percy did as well, more in concentration. A fierce fire erupted in his eyes.
"She's hurting." She knew what he was getting at immediately.
"Percy, Leo wouldn't-" She was cut off by Tobias's crying joining with Max's. Annabeth rushed forward into the nursery and screamed herself.
Evil, horrible, dirty spider!
Thankfully, Percy was collected enough to free them of the arachnid, scooping it up and chucking the horrible- horrible, horrible- thing out the window.
While Annabeth calmed her sons, Percy slipped out the front door.
Leo cursed loudly in Greek before cursing in Latin- one of Louisa's favourite curses.
Fortuna was being mean.
Of course it had to be rush hour. Of course traffic was bad.
And of course, Louisa was struggling.
"Leo…" She whimpered.
"I'm trying, Lou, I'm trying." Leo slammed his fist on the car horn, biting down a scream of frustration. What could he do?
Ha, that car just moved.
Leo pushed down on the accelerator and veered to the left. Louisa automatically hit him for startling her. "Sorry." He mumbled, beeping his horn in return to the annoyed blares he was getting.
Somehow, he managed to get down a fairly clear road and reached the hospital within another six minutes.
By then, Louisa was crying.
Aw, poor Lou :(
Idizzle22- chapter after the next- possible mean Percy ;)
