HI GUYS! I'M NOT DEAD!

I had my singing contest and mid terms all week and I am sorry I haven't updated in a while. I felt bad.

Huge thank you to ImpossibleThings12

She reminded me that I had to continue this... (you guys can totally thank her in a PM or in a review to my story or hers.)

Don't own a single thing, not even the tiniest bit...

Annabeth's POV:

After Lilith transported us back to where we were supposed to be I unpacked a little. I set up a bed for Percy and laid him gently on it. I covered him with a blanket and started a small fire in the center of the cave. I star at the crackling fire and get lost in thought: We helped 3 gods in 3 days. We only have 4 days left till the last day of June and we still have to find 9 more Gods and Goddesses' items of power in 4 days. I don't know how we are going to do it. I looked outside the entrance and seen my mother standing there along with Hermes and Hestia. I had a long conversation with them.

Mom wanted me to find her sacred owl, Hestia wanted us to find her a living flame, and Hermes needed us to find his . Hestia was easy, I grabbed a candle with a flame on top and that satisfied her, my mother and Hermes not so much, their symbols of power were being held somewhere by giants. All three of them disappeared but not before wishing me luck and giving me the directions to the giant lair. I want to leave but I need to stay with Percy so I lean against the wall and close my eyes. Before I know it I am asleep.

I wake up to Percy calling my name. I grab my dagger and unsheathe it as I stand up. Percy looks at me wide eyed and lets out a nervous laugh.

I roll my eyes at him and sheathe my dagger. I sit down next to him and lean into his shoulder as he wraps his arms around me. There is a long pause before I hear, "Annabeth, are you okay?" Percy kisses my temple.

I pull back and look him straight in the eye and raise my voice without meaning to, "I almost just lost my Husband to Tartarus. Of course I am not okay!"

Percy looks down, probably so I wont see the hurt in his eyes. I stand up and walk over to the fire. I set up a make-shift kitchen that we could use to cook food. I decide re-start the fire and stare at the coals as I do. I set up the wood and paper and stand up to reach for the food. Before I have the chance, Percy wraps his arms around me from behind and buries his face in my hair.

"Annabeth, Wise Girl I am sorry, please forgive me. Please. I was only trying to keep you safe... He promised not to hurt you... I just wanted you to be safe."

I sigh and turn my head to face his, "Percy, I'm sorry, I-I almost died on you too... I don't know why I am so emotional lately, I just-*sniffles*- I just want a normal life with you but I know that it isn't going to happen... We are always needed by those Gods I-I-ohhh." I am cut short on my sobbing by Percy kissing my neck. I moan and turn back to face him again.

"Percy-I-ah- Breakfast- Aren't-oh- you hungry?" I say trying to get him to stop. I hate feeling like this sometimes, especially when there is a quest that I am on.

He pulls away and I turn around. He kisses my lips sweetly and whispers when we pull away, "I am kinda hungry... What'cha making?"

I smile at him, "What ever you want my love, what ever you want." He taps his chin, eyeing me the whole time, "Well-agh." He doubles over coughing and I feel my breath hitch. "Percy?" I try to say without shaking as he sits down.

He leans against the wall and closes his eyes, "Annabeth."

I let out my breath and blink back tears. GODS I am so fricking emotional!

My breath hitches again. No... no no no no no no no!

I am not pregnant, not again. I pace around and blink back my tears. This is not what I need right now. Not what I need! Percy calls my name, but I don't answer.

"Annabeth!" He yells, "What's wrong, I would get up but I doubt I can sit up without falling right back down." I stop suddenly. "I just-" I don't tell him, "I hate seeing you like that... It makes me nervous and a lot of other things."

Percy narrows his eyes at me and then curls his fingers in a, "Come here" motion. I drag my feet over there sluggishly.

I sit down and surrender to his strong arms. "I know you better than that, there's something else, when you want to tell me, come to me. I can tell you don't want to talk about it right now."

I shut my eyes tight and whisper, "I-I know why I am so emotional now..."

He rests his head on top of mine. "And the cause would be?"

I gulp before squeaking, "Pregnancy..." Percy's arms tense than relax. He hugs me tighter and whispers, "And this little baby will be your motivation to keep going." He kisses my temple again and just holds me. No demigod talk, no quest talk, nothing. And I will forever be grateful for this moment.

Piper's POV:

After the whole Annabeth/Percy, thing Jason and I were transported back to Camp. Turns out it was after curfew and we had to rush to a cabin, his cabin was closest.

We rush to his cabin and shut the door. I belly-flop into his bed and kick my shoes off. He lays down next to me stares into my eyes.

"What'cha thinking about?" I ask after a minute or two.

He smiles and rolls onto his side, still staring at me, and says "Just how lucky I am to have you."

This makes me blush. I stare into his eyes and then move over into his arms for a hug. "I am lucky to have you too Sparky."

He smirks and kisses the back of my head before his arms tense and he stops hugging me. "What?" I say spinning around, my eyes darting around the cabin.

"Someone's here." Jason whispers putting a finger to his lips. I nod and reach for my knife.

He gets off of the bad slowly, I listen intently and hear footsteps. Jason inches toward the steps and I follow him.

A young girl, who couldn't have been more than 7 or 8. She has blond hair, which was pulled back into a French Braid. She has sparkling blue eyes and a soft face. She is wearing a red and green flannel dress with black ankle boots. She tilts her head at us curiously before smiling and saying, "Mi Chiamo Angelina. Ho otto anni."

Jason raises an eyebrow and I blink. What did she just say.

Nico walks in the door and yells, "Jason, you in here, Will and I just got back, Chiron said we could come eat in the big house."

He walks into the room we are in and grins at Jason and I.

"Who's the kid?" He asks pointing toward the young girl.

The girl turns around excitedly, "Mi Chiamo Angelina, Ho otto anni."

Nico's eyes light up and he squats down, "Ciao Angelina, Mi chiamo Nico, come sta?" Angelina jumps up and down and replies, "Sto molto bene, E tu?" Nico thinks a minute before responding, "Eh, cosi cosi. Da dove vieni?"

"Vengo do Venez?ia." She says before asking, "dov'รจ il bagno?"

Nico waves his hand in a follow me motion, but before he goes he says, "Oh, sorry, forgot you two were here, This is Angelina, She is 8 years old and is from Venice. She needs to use the bathroom, so if you will excuse me, I have to take her."

Jason nods him off and I watch him walk the little girl out of the current room, chatting in Italian to her.

"Well that was- weird, why was she here?" I ask turning back to Jason, who took the time to put his shoes on and slip a hoodie over his head, "I don't know, but Nico said something about food in the big house, I am kinda hungry."

I laugh and say, "You ate at Apollo's palace, what more do you need to eat?"

"A lot more, I am hungry."

"You ate like less than 15 minutes ago,"

"You didn't eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"Well you should be."

"Jason, I am not hungry."

"Well I am."

"Okay fine, go eat,"

"Are you coming?"

He looks at me with puppy dog eyes and I nod, "Fine, I'll go."

He grins and hands me his other hoodie. I take it gladly and put it on. He then grabs my hand and pulls me out the door.

Okay so I realize that chapter sucked too... I had my singing contest yesterday (made it into the finals!) and I didn't really get the time to write. So I wrote this quickly today so you guys would have something to read.

Any ideas for the adventure to get the owl and the caduceus. I will gladly take them. Bye for now
