November 1st

Rosemarie Jackson was quietly sitting on the couch with her plate full of bacon and an omelet sitting on her humongous belly, when she felt a warm liquid running down her pants.

"Percy!" She called out to her husband. He came rushing towards her. "My water just broke!" His eyes widened and quickly scoped her up, leaving the plate to crash down to the floor. He ran her to the car and put her in the passenger seat, then his foot slammed on to the gas pedal as soon as the engine purred to life. Oh gods, am I ready for this? Pull yourself together Jackson, your baby needs you and so does your wife! Percy tried to pep-talk himself. Finally, they reached the hospital. Dr. Marshall was, thankfully, in the lobby. She saw Rosemarie's pained expression and her face immediately filled with worry.

"What happened?" Dr. Marshall rushed over to them.

"Her water broke" The doctor's face looked a little surprised, but quickly became concentrated.

"Okay" She looked to nurse "Get a birthing room prepared, quickly." The nurse nodded and turned to Percy "How long ago?"

"About 10 minutes." She nodded and grabbed a wheelchair. Percy gently placed his wife in the chair and pushed her behind Dr. Marshall. They soon arrived in a room where the nurse from before. Dr. Marshall helped Percy ease Rosemarie onto the bed. Rosemarie yelled out in pain when her first contraction hit her. Percy winced, he hated to see her like this, in so much pain.

"Percy, you should go call any relatives that should be here. I'll watch her." He frowned, but walked out to call Annabeth and the others.


Rosemarie gave out a small yelp of pain as her last contraction hit.

"Okay, Rose, looks like your fully dilated. When I say, push as hard as you can, okay" Rosemarie gave a nod signaling she understood. Percy squeezed his spouse's hand, a sign of reassurance "Okay, push!" Rosemarie summoned all her strength, praying to the gods that it would be enough, and pushed with all her might. "Okay, again" and she did it one more time, and again. "Okay, she's crowning. One more push!" After one last push, a shrill cry filled the room. "A baby girl." Dr. Marshall handed a small baby girl with some strands of black of hair. She hadn't opened her eyes yet, but when her fair skin came in contact with her mother's, she opened her innocent blue eyes.

"She's beautiful" Percy whispered. "What are you going to name her?"

"Andromeda Zoë Jackson" She said. It had meaning, of course. Andromeda, for Luke Castellan's yacht the Princess Andromeda. Zoë, for their friend that went on a quest knowing she would be the one to die like the prophecy said. Once everything (and everyone) was all cleaned up, the newborn Andromeda and Rosemarie were moved into a different. Andromeda was given a white onezie that covered up her legs and had a blue and pink striped hat to keep her head warm. Rosemarie and her daughter would be able to leave the hospital in 3 days, and Percy prayed that the day his daughter would come home came quick.


November 4th

In the past three days Rosemarie's baby belly went down quick, so it looked like she was 2-3 months along. She and Percy had gotten into the habit of calling Andromeda 'Andie' occasionally. Today was the day Andromeda would see her new room, see her new house. She would be going home. A light knock was heard on the door.

"Come in" Rosemarie didn't even glance at the door, too mesmerized by her daughter.

"Hey, sis!" Annabeth whispered quietly, not wanting to startle her 3 day old niece.

"Is it time already?" Rosemarie sighed, finally looking at her sister, who nodded. Rosemarie strapped her baby in her seat and carried her to the check out section, her sister following close behind. They checked out and Rosemarie followed her sister to the car. When she reached her husband, they kissed and Percy kissed Andromeda's forehead. Annabeth offered for Rosemarie to sit in the passenger seat, but she preferred to sit in the back with Andromeda. On the way home, Andromeda started to get a bit fussy. Rosemarie remembered the one time Edward came to visit and she was fussy then, but when Edward hummed the lullaby he wrote for Rosemarie when he thought her name was 'Bella Swan'. By the time he was done, Andromeda had been asleep. So Rosemarie started to hum to her daughter, and she slowly calmed down and soon she was out like a light.

Thank you, Edward she thought. They soon arrived at Percy, Rosemarie, and now Andromeda's home. When Percy unlocked the door, Rosemarie went straight upstairs, taking Andromeda to her new room. The colors of her room were pink, white, and grey, the only exception being the wooden floor. (Pic on profile!) Rosemarie placed her baby girl, her Princess Andromeda, down in her crib. It was getting dark, almost 7:00. Andromeda was fast asleep, and Percy was coming into the room.

"Look, it's twilight" Percy whispered, looking out the window. Rosemarie remembered prom night, junior year, Edward said he didn't want that day to end. Rosemarie now saw twilights as a beautiful end to the day, now. She knew she would not find herself Escaping Twilight
