Sup! Here is the next chapter…
I knew there will be some sort of day when I have to announce this, and it pains me big time…
But this story is already past the middle, and is going to near its end.
LI know…heart breaking…and I am super sad as well! I will write chapters, but like…you know…like it won't be so long as expected.
Have a very good plot towards the ending in my mind; please take the time to read this next chapter! :D
Percy POV:
Alex, Annie, and Avery were fast asleep. Annabeth snuggled close in my arms. She sat on my lap while I was sitting on the rocking chair. She snuggled close to me, and I kissed her cheeks very softly.
"Life is so great," she said, and I can feel she is so happy. "It's already March, and things are going great."
"Yeah," I said. Everything was great except these days I have this weird tingly feeling in my stomach. I approach towards the time machine, and somehow my hands jerk towards the button where I go to 2073. It's weird; and I only have two more weeks.
"So," I said, hugging her. "I can't believe I got a new name."
"What?" she asked sleepily.
"Daddy. Alex and Annie are constantly calling me Daddy as well as Avery."
"Isn't that sweet?"
"Yeah," I said. "And you're the mommy."
Annabeth let out a lazy chuckle. "Well, that's me!"
And when I stared at her eyes, I carried her.
"LET ME-,"
But I twirled her around and gave her the softest whisper of a kiss. Annabeth responded back, and when we pulled away, I breathed in peppermint.
"You smell like peppermint."
"Weirdly…weirdly you smell like chocolate frosting."
"I love frosting."
"I love peppermint."
And we kissed each other passionately. As we were kissing, we heard a little munching sounds. We pulled away, and soon crept towards under the table, where the sound was coming from.
We saw Avery, eating oatmeal cookies.
"Come here you little thief," Annabeth laughed. She carried Avery, and started to put her in the crib. "No escaping, understand?"
She nodded.
"I can't believe Calypso is engaged!" she said once Avery was finally asleep.
"I know…Leo seems like a cool guy. They match."
"They really do. I am so happy for them!"
"I know," I said, and suddenly sad thoughts flood through my mind. What if…what if something pulls me to go to 2073? Am I seriously destined to leave 2015? Why did I have to start love? I should've…no…this can't be happening. Annabeth is my life. Me going back to 2073 is not going to happen.
And suddenly, something tingled inside my stomach. I felt a pain, and was about to gasp. But I had to hide my discomfort. I don't want Annabeth to notice me. I don't even want her to know about the time machine span. I just want her to be happy, and just you know…chill. I can handle the pain.
"You alright?" Annabeth asked, giving me a worried expression.
"Nothing," I said softly.
"Okay…" she said with an uncertain tone. "Want tea or coffee?"
"Sure," I said. "I'll rest in my room."
And when I closed the door, I nearly gasped. I crouched down, feeling pain all over my body. What the heck? Why am I feeling this way? What's…what's wrong with me? Why am I feeling pain? What's up with me?
I slowly crept towards my time machine, and saw the span. The lights were blinkering softly, and I had to grab my chest because I felt suffocated. Air barely went through my nose or mouth, and I felt like my eyes were going to pop out. I felt dizzy, and I can see my hands full of force.
I can't take it anymore.
"GRAHHH!" I shouted, trying to withstand the pain. But then, I felt like something hit me. Everything blacked out.
Annabeth POV:
"PERCY!" I shouted. I can only see his feet. I ran towards him, unconscious.
"CAL…she's with Leo…ARG!" I shouted in frustration. I rushed towards the phone, calling the ambulance immediately. Once the ambulance came, they carried Percy who looked so pale. I was teary eyed. This can't happen to Percy. I knew he was acting weird…is he sick? If he is, I am going to repair him fully. I don't want to lose Percy like the way I lost Malcom. And Malcom…
Tears fell from my eyes. I wiped them quickly, and soon I saw Alex see me cry.
"Mommy-,"
"It's okay…I need to go to the ambulance-,"
"We're coming," Annie said out of nowhere.
"Annie-,"
"Mommy…if Daddy is sick, we need to check on him."
I smiled.
"You care for Daddy a lot, do ya?"
"Daddy…he is so sincere to me! He told me so much stuff about being a doctor! I want to heal patients!" Annie said.
"You are one smartie!" I said.
"Well, we're going. I can see Percy and also see how the doctors treat their patients."
"Mommy…" I heard Avery say. "Go."
"Please Mommy. We need to see Daddy."
"Fine," I said. "But follow me. Understand?"
"Understood," Annie said.
"Understood," Alex said.
"Undie!" Avery said, and Annie and Alex cracked up.
"You have to learn your words how to say understood soon," I said, kissing Avery's cheeks. "But anyways, follow me. Annie, I will allow you to check on the doctors when I tell you to. Alex, you stick close to me, and of course Annie, you too. Understand?"
"UNDIE!" Avery said, smiling.
"Let's go," I said, grabbing my car keys. As I rushed down the lobby with Avery cradled on my arms and Annie and Alex following me behind, I quickly buckled Avery on her baby seat, and made Annie and Alex sit down. Then, I drove towards the hospital.
"Do you know where Percy Jackson is?" I asked to the nurse.
"Oh, are you his husband? Your children look beautiful."
"Yes," I said. "These are my children."
"Beautiful. Really…really beautiful. Anyways, his room is C7."
"Thank you," I said, and went into the elevator. As we went up on the third story, Annie squealed.
"I can already feel the excitement…and my blood is going crazy! I am destined to be a doctor," Annie said.
"Good job. Well, I have to go. Alex, here is the map. Go with Annie and have fun with her in the hospital. I want you back-,"
"First Daddy," Annie said.
"Okay," I said, and when we reached C7, I smiled. I opened the door and saw Drew kissing Percy.
"Percy?" I asked.
Percy stroked Drew's hair. "Annabeth…you look beautiful-,"
"NO ONE CHEATS ON MOMMY!" Alex shouted. Drew turned around, and grinned.
"Drew? What are you-,"
"Wait…who's-,"
And I saw Drew with no makeup and a blond curly wig.
"Alex…get out the wig."
And he did. Percy gasped, touched his lips, stared at me, laughed at Alex, then stared at me again with seriousness, and then started to shake. Drew went away, but Annie bit her thigh, causing her to scream. Then, Annie judo flipped her (woah…that is one good of a strength that Annie has…), and Drew started to scream. Then, Drew went away, super mad.
"Percy!" I said, stop making him shake. He had tears in his eyes, and he seemed so afraid.
"PERCY-,"
"Annabeth…" he whimpered, and started to cry. I shooed Annie, Alex, and Avery, who Alex quickly led them out the door. I gave him a stare, and he immediately understood to watch Annie and Avery as a tour. As the door closed, I hugged Percy, who cried harder.
"It's okay," I whispered.
"I'm…I'm sorry…" he said crying hard. This was the first time I ever saw him cry and break down.
"Percy…shh…everything is okay. You know that this incident was a mistake," I said, tears already falling down. It pained me to see Percy this weakened. What might've happened?
He stopped shaking. He hugged me, and I can feel tears on my shirt. I wiped his tears, and soon I gave him a long slow kiss. He responded back, and when we pulled away, I stared at him.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"N-n-nothing," he whispered.
"Don't lie…I know something is wrong."
"Please Annabeth…it's personal."
I would've been more stubborn about things, but I knew I shouldn't pressure Percy.
"I love you," I said.
And right there, I gave Percy the warmest hug and kiss I can ever do.
I hope you liked it! Here is the motivation for the day:
DON'T BREAK DOWN. YOU CAN FIGHT THE OBSTICLES. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Please review! :D
