Chapter 5
Thalia POV
The next morning I woke up before Percy, I was still in his arms and I panicked last night I hadn't even thought about it but today I was worried about how he would react. I quickly got up and got ready for the day before going back down stairs and shaking Percy awake "wha what" he said rubbing his eyes "come on sleepy head time to get up" I said Percy grumbled a bit but got up and took a shower "achu" I sneezed heading towards the stairs. I felt dizzy and collapsed when the room started spinning "Percy!" I called as I faded into unconsciousness.
Percy POV
I was in me and Thalia's room putting on a pair of shorts when I heard a thud and Thalia call "Percy!". I dashed down the stairs to find Thalia lying on the floor, carid Thalia backup to her bed and an IM to Chiron. A few minutes later Todd an Apollo camper was there to do a full check up "its just the common cold" he said standing up "what do you mean its just a cold, the common cold doesn't make people faint" I said "true" he said "but she also used to be a hunter, without Artemis's blessing her immune system is having to fight it on its own and right now it's not that strong" todd gave me a few tips on what to do and left.
Over the course of the next week I was never away from Thalia for more than a few minutes.
I would always be changing the cloth on her head to make sure it was cold, the few times she woke up I fed her ambrosia and nectar. I'm not sure why but I felt extremely protective of her.
Thalia POV
I had come in and out of consciousness several times and each time was followed by a really weird dream, the most recent one was of a hot dog fighting what I think was a breakfast bagel from Mcdonalds. Slowly the dream faded and I thought I was starting to wake up but instead a new dream took it's place, I was laying in bed but it wasn't my bed in Hera's cabin. This bed was king sized and in the middle of a hug room, suddenly the door was flung open and little two kids who look about a year a part ran in "happybirthday" they shouted as they jumped in my bed.
I woke up and smiled before looking at the clock and dropping my head back on my pillow "to early" I said "come back in an hour". The two kids started pulling on my hands "common wake up we made breakfast for you" the older one who was a boy said, the other me sighed and sat up with an amused smile.
As I sat up I noticed my slightly swollen belly 'holy crap I'm pregnant' I thought. I let the kids drag me into the kitchen which was a mess of dirty bowls and flour but on the table gorgeous breakfast that consisted of eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, fruit, and blue pancakes "Happybirthday mommy" the girl said hugging my leg and I woke up.
My eyes snapped open and I was breathing hard partly because I was freaking out that I was going to have kids when I was still getting used to the idea that I was going to be married. And partly because I was so happy 'I'm going to be a mother' I thought 'and my kids look so beautiful'.
I had always wanted kids of my own since I met Annabeth in that alley but had given up the idea and joined the hunt because I didn't want to have a jerk for a husband or father to my kids. I felt a hand on my arm "it's ok Thalia I'm right here" Percy said reminding me of the other night on the ferris wheel 'he'll be a good father' I thought looking at him.
Percy didn't look well "you ok Percy" I asked "ya I'm fine, but what about you do you feel ok" he said with worry in his eyes. "ya I'm fine" I said as I tried to sit up but fell back to my bed "ok maybe I feel a little weak" Percy cuckled "ya maybe" he said getting up to leave "I'll leave you alone to get some rest" he said but I grabbed his hand and said "Percy...um… could you stay here with me…you know till I wake up" Percy smiled "of course" he said sitting down. I closed my eyes but never let go of his hand, about a half hour later just as I was starting to drift into Morpheus's realm I felt Percy kiss my forehead I smiled and fell asleep still holding his hand.
Third person POV
Percy did as he promised and stayed while Thalia she slept when she woke up she complained about a pain in her legs. Turns out that the cold had all but cut blood flow to her legs so Todd said she had to stay in bed. Thalia was bedridden for weeks but Percy was always there bringing her food, and games with her on a fold up table. Thalia was grateful for the company and every night when Percy thought Thalia was asleep he would kiss her forehead. Finally the fourth of July rolled around and it was the first day Thalia could get out of bed.
Thalia POV
I finally got cleared by that Apollo camper Todd, who had basically become my personal doctor, to leave the cabin. I was thrilled because I had been stuck in bed for weeks and I really needed to stand up. I stood up and my knees almost buckled but I felt Percy hands at my sides "easy I got ya" he said in a comforting voice. I leaned on him for support but I didn't really need to but it gave me an excuse to lay my head on his chest. After a minute I said ya "I'm fine" and started walking towards the stairs. Percy held my hand so I could use it for support the whole way down the stairs and to the door and I wasn't complaining.
Truth be told over the last month I had fallen for Percy hard. He was always there trying to comfort me and would go out of his way to make me smile, I just wanted to kiss him but I wasn't sure how he felt. When we got down the stairs Percy said "Thalia something I want to tell you" I felt my heartbeat quicken but I forced my to stay calm "when we were told that we had to get married I'll admit I didn't want to I hated the idea" I felt my growing happiness deflate "but over the last few weeks I've felt something that I haven't felt in a while" my heartbeat sped up again 'if you don't get to the point soon you going to give me a heart attack' I thought.
"I love you Thalia and even though we're technically already engaged there is some thing I would like to ask you" Percy said getting down on one knee and pulling out a ring "Thalia Grace will you marry me" he said. I was about to say yes when my legs started to give out, Percy got up and tried to catch me but we both ended up falling to the ground, thankful I landed on something soft but sadly that thing happened to be Percy. "Ow" Percy croaked "sorry" I said "maybe this will help" as I leaned down and kissed him.
"The answer is yes by the way" I said pulling away, "yes?" Percy said confused before widening his eyes "yes, really" he said "yes bird brain I marry you" I said kissing him again. We broke apart as he put the ring on my finger then went back to kissing, a second later someone open the door to our cabin and cleared their throat. I pulled away from Percy to see my brother Jason standing there "seriously" I said "you couldn't have waited 5 minutes"
"Sorry" Jason said as me and Percy got up "how was I supposed to know, but on the bright side it seems you two a getting along pretty well" "I'll say" I said flashing my ring jason looked at the ring then Percy and said "you proposed" Percy nodded and held my close. "Well congratulations" he said giving me a hug "I actually just came by to see how Thalia was doing but I think you two could use some alone time" Jason said walking out the door a giving me a wink.
Me and Percy decided to take it easy today considering my legs were still weak, so we just did stuff around the cabin which sadly included a piece of paper that had appeared daily for the last 3 weeks from Aphrodite. The paper had a list of things that she wanted to know about our wedding so she could set it up. We spent most of the day on it since it might get her to leave us alone for a while then we went to the fireworks display on the beach. On the way back to our cabin we ran into the one person I least expected to see...Annabeth.
