Chapter 13

2 months later

There had been no more trouble since when the monsters managed to get into camp. There was still half-bloods station at all over the camp. No one was allowed in or out of camp unless they got permission off of Chiron, the camp was on total lock down. Just to be on the safe side.

I was now eight months pregnant and I had to pack so I could go home and have my children. I was in my cabin putting everything into my bag. There was a soft knock on the door and Chiron came in. "I see your getting ready to go" he said.

I nodded and zipped the bag up, "Yeah, Matt is leaving as well"

"Charlie, a few years ago there was prophesy, and I would hate to think that's what's happening. But I know that that attack two months ago was not meant to happen" he said.

"What's going to happen?" I asked, even though the answer was written all over his face.

"A war and I have a feeling it'll be more dangerous and bigger than the last one"

"What can we do to stop it?" I asked.

"Nothing, we just have to wait and see what shall happen" he sighed, "I shall go so you can get ready to leave" he said, departing.

I sighed and dragged the bag off of my bed and went to go get Matt so we could go home. Going home was the easy part but saying goodbye and having to go was the difficult part. After the many rounds of hugs and kisses and the lots of goodbyes and good lucks. I made my way down the hill with Matt close by.

"Okay there is only a month left until the babies will be born and we need to make sure we have everything" I said, opening the car door. "Hey mom, hey dad"

"Don't we have everything?" Matt asked, sliding in next to me in the back of the car.

"I'm not sure I made a list before we came to camp so I'll need to have a look and double check" I said, clicking my seatbelt into place.

Apart from the chattering there was still a mixture of fear and suspicion in the air. No body mentioned anything but it hung there like a second skin.

We dropped Matt off at his parent's house and went home. When mom opened the front door she said, "Wait Charlie we need to show you something" she quickly closed the door and took me up the stairs and along the hall to what used to be the guest bedroom - which was now the babies' room.

She told me to close my eyes and swung the door open. When I walked into the room blindfolded I was hit by the smell of fresh paint, new clothes and baby powder.

I opened my eyes; the room was new light and airy. The walls were the purple colour with a border of little pictures of water creatures and owls in the purple colour. On one of the large blank walls; there was a large pin board to put up photos. There were two white cribs in the back of the room sitting side by side. On one of the cots there was a pink cot protector and on the other a blue one, along with matching pink and blue mattresses and little blankets.

By the large window there was a white blind and blue and pink cloth wrapped around the curtain pole and left to dangle at each end of the window. In front of that sat a big wooden rocking chair sitting on a soft rug.

Against the front wall there was a changing station and shelves with little baby clothes.

I looked at my mom, "Mom, it's beautiful. Did you do this yourself?" I asked, taking another look round the finished room.

"No, Angela helped me do it" she said.

"Seriously, 'because I didn't think she would be into painting and what not" I said laughing.

"She helped for a lot of the work. Her and Colin are coming over later to show Matt the room" she said, smiling. "So go get ready they should be here soon, I think she said something about going for dinner so dress fancy" she added leaving the room.

I took another look at the room amazed it looked so different and then left to go get ready for our meal.

I went into my room and took my keys and phone out of my pockets and threw them on the bed. I went to go have a look in the wardrobe to see what I could squeeze into. My phone started to ring as I was scanning my wardrobe.

I stopped looking and went to answer my phone, "Hey" Ash, said as I answered.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Great, and I got my car back " she said, screaming the last part.

"Yay. So how did you convince your parents to give you it" I said smiling.

"I didn't mom just came into my room and gave me my keys" she said shocked, "And then we had a heart-to-heart and we've never had those sort of things. Ever" .

"Whoa, what did you promise to do?" I asked, knowing there would be a catch.

"Behave myself and all that crap" she said, I could actually here the shrug in her tone of voice.

I rolled my eyes typical Ashley, "Okay so, I need to get ready Matt's parents are taking me and my parents out to dinner tonight so I need to get glammed up" I said.

"Oh okay, I'll let you go so you can look pretty" she said, hanging up.

Dinner went fine. No one was hurt, monsters didn't attack, and a war wasn't breaking out. Everything went great. Angela and Colin took us to a quiet yet elegant restaurant just outside the busy city. We spent the night talking and eating really nice food. The outside world felt like a million miles away when I was sitting and just generally having a wonderful time.

The following month

I had been dreading this day for a month now. It was the day I was due to go into labour, I had completely forgot about it until I woke up that morning to cross off the date on my calendar.

I crawled out of bed and crossed the room to the calendar which was pinned to my wall. The green sharpie was clipped onto the top of the month. I pulled the pen out of the lid and drew a line through the sixteenth. It hadn't dawned on me until I noticed I had drew a line through the box; in large block red capitals said the words DUE DATE.

I stared at the words for a minute as if they were mocking my intelligence. As if I was stupid. I sat down at the desk thinking for a minute and backtracked the months. Shock flashed through my body. Everything was ready I just had to wait for it to happen. I began to pace the floor thinking. There was nothing left to do, everything was sorted; my bag was packed, the names were picked, the room was decorated, everything was bought. All that was left was the hard part, the actual childbirth.

Okay Charlie, you can do this. You have fought monsters. You can do this I chanted motivating myself.

I looked at the calendar one last time and went down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. It was a Wednesday morning so both of my parents were at work. I made myself a bowl of cornflakes and sat down at the small table. Replaying everything I had to do today over and over in my head.

Later in the afternoon Matt came over and we ended up just sitting in the living room watching T.V. Every few minutes he would glance over and look at me as if I was going to break. I cornered him, "Will you quit gawking at me I feel like I'm naked"

He put up his hands in defence, "Whoa sorry. Can you actually believe that in a few hours we're going to be parents?"

"Honestly no, I wish it would hurry up, I want to hold them" I said smiling.

Later that same night

"Charlie just sit down, you're supposed to go into labour today. Just relax" Matt stressed for like the fiftieth time that night. We'd been in my room most of the afternoon winding each other up, and then suddenly panic settled in.

"Matt how can I relax? " I said finally sitting on my bed. "I'm supposed to into labour today and I haven't yet"

"Everything will be fine" Matt said reassuring me.

"Maybe we can speed it up" I said a wicked smile curving my mouth.

"Your parents are in the house" he said raising an eyebrow.

"They wont know" I said. "It's either this or be annoyed for the next few hours"

"No they'll hear us"

"No they wont…well I guess some wishes to come true. Matt I think my water has just broken" I whispered.

"What?" he asked, and then sprung from the bed, shock and shear terror planted on his face, "What?"

"Yeah, I have a feeling my water's broke" I said, feeling happy buy also being totally engulfed in panic.

"Ah, okay lets get you to the hospital" he said, helping me up.

I stopped him, "Matt is you sure you're okay?" I asked. "Cause we're going to be parents soon" I said.

He stopped and looked at me, "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm happy I guess, just scared" he smiled.

"Its fine scared is good" I smiled back, "All you have to do is get me there and hold my hand. You don't have to go through what I have to"

"I probably couldn't handle the pain anyway" he said, holding open the door and helping me go down the stairs.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed the already made up bag and keys from the hall and left the house, before getting in the car I turned to Matt and said, "My parents don't know yet-"

"I'll go tell them" he said, putting the bag in the back seat of the car and helped me into the back along with it.

"'Kay" I smiled, as he went back into the house.

Matt came back several seconds later panting for breath. "They said they'll meet us there. Phone my parents and tell them what happening and get them to get us at the hospital" Matt said, fastening his seatbelt and handing me his phone.

I held Matt's phone in my hands and dialled his house phone. Colin picked up on the second ring, "Hello?" his deep voice asked.

"Colin, its Charlie. My water broke so get Angela and yourself to the hospital meet and Matt there. I need to go now, bye" I said, quickly and then hung up before he could say anything.

When I handed Matt his phone he rose and eyebrow, "What the hell was that about?" he asked, glancing over at me.

"Contractions" I said, holding my stomach. He didn't answer but just continued to drive.

After many screams of pain and lots of awkward glances from Matt; we finally made it to the hospital. The receptionist that evening was an old grumpy woman, instead of the young chirpy girl.

I went straight through to one of the maternity wards - because Matt had to go answer a phone call from his dad. The room I was in was a private one, the walls were a pale salmon colour, there was a large bed in the middle of the room with sheets and blankets the same colour as the walls. In front of the window sat two chairs and a coffee table. There was also a small toilet.

"Charlie, where's your parents?" Angela asked when she and Colin walked into the room, looking around as if they would just appear; like children playing a game of hide-and-seek.

"There just coming" I said.

"Okay" Angela said, and then dropped herself into one of the chairs next to the window. And Matt sat in the other one, while Colin went to go get coffees.

"What do we do now?" Matt asked, getting comfy in the chair.

"Wait. Labour can be a slow process, when I was in labour with you, it took fifteen hours" Angela said, to Matt and then pulled out a magazine and began to flick through the pages.

My parents came into the ward fifteen minutes later. "Charlie, how are you feeling?" she asked, coming up to the bed and hugging me tightly.

"Fine" I answered when she pulled away and look at me at arms length.

"How you feeling now?" Matt asked, coming to sit on the end of my bed

"Okay, I guess. It's just a long and painful process" I sighed, "How are you?"

"I'm fine thanks" Matt smiled. Nurse Jones came in and smiled at me as she checked to see how dilated I was, "I'm going to get a coffee want one?" Matt asked, standing up.

Nurse Jones frowned and said, "She cant have caffeine, she can only have water" she said to Matt, "Charlie your doing fine, your about halfway there" she, smiled and walked back out of the ward.

Several hours later

It was reaching nearly three in the morning and both mine and Matt's parents were huddled round my bed. I was still in the same bed I have been in all evening - in the most unbearable pain ever. I had to get up a few times and pace the floor because my butt had gone numb from sitting on it all night.

The third time I crawled out of the bed to walk around the room; Matt grabbed my wrists and dragged me back to the bed. "I know your bored and sore but you have to stay in the bed" he lectured, "The Nurse has already complained at you twice already" he said, sitting back down on the chair next to my bed.

I looked round the little room; both of my parents were snoozing in their chairs, Angela was draped over Colin sleeping. I could tell Matt was feeling tired as he laid his head on the side of my bed. "You tired?" I asked, running my fingers through his chocolate hair.

He lifted his head loudly, "Nope, just fine" and put his head back down.

"Yeah because a yawn like that just screams alert and awake" I smiled.

"It does actually" Matt mumbled, into the bed sheets. "You should try and get some sleep it's been a long day so far"

"Yeah I would sleep, but every time I try I keep getting shocked awaked with another contraction" I sighed.

"How long did the nurse say you were?" Matt asked.

"Halfway, so I'm guessing around five-six inches"

"Okay so they should be here soon?"

"Hopefully" I said, crossing my fingers under the bed sheets.
