Annabeth

Annabeth was heading to the big house with Percy and Lucy. They knocked on the door and talked with Chiron.

"Chiron, we need to leave camp." Annabeth said.

"Why?" Chiron asked. Then a woman came in. She wore a silver leotard and had silver hair. She also had a silver tail.

"Lupa, your back." Chiron said.

"Lupa." Annabeth, Percy, and Lucy said.

"Yep, this is my human form. Anyway, is there a problem?" Lupa asked.

"We need to leave camp to show my mom Lucy." Percy said.

"Well, I say they should go." Lupa said.

"What?" Chiron asked.

"Chiron, this is your strongest campers, let them go." Lupa said.

"Thanks Lupa." Percy said and pulled Annabeth and Lucy to the car. Annabeth could tell that Percy wanted to tell his mother as soon as possible to get it done and over. In Percy's car was a car seat for Lucy and a note.

"What does the note say?" Percy asked.

"Well, 'Dear Percy and Annabeth, I thought you two would need this. Love, Aphrodite.'" Annabeth said. Percy shrugged and put Lucy in the car seat. When Percy and Annabeth were buckled up, Percy started driving to Manhattan. Percy kept tapping his fingers with nervousness. Annabeth put her hand over his.

"Calm down, Percy. Your mom will take the news just fine." Annabeth said.

"I don't know how my mom will react, she's three months pregnant." Percy said. Annabeth sighed and knew that he was right. A pregnant woman is unpredictable so anything can happen. Annabeth kissed Percy's cheek and said,

"I think she'll take it just fine." Percy smiled and said,

"She already considers you apart of the family, so I think you're right." Annabeth smiled back and held Percy's hand tightly.

The traffic wasn't as bad as usual. They reached Mrs. Jackson house before noon. Annabeth got Lucy out of her car seat.

"Now, you can't say that we're your mommy and daddy until we tell Grandma about you. Deal?" Annabeth asked.

"Deal." Lucy said. Percy walked them through the apartment building until they reached Mrs. Jackson's apartment. Percy whipped out his keys and unlocked the door.

"Mom." Percy called into the house.

"Percy? You're back." Mrs. Jackson said as she walked out of the kitchen. She smiled and hugged the two. Then Mrs. Jackson noticed Lucy.

"Hello, what's your name?" Mrs. Jackson asked.

"Lucy." Lucy said.

"Nice to meet you, Lucy. Well, let's sit down and talk." Mrs. Jackson said. So Percy and Annabeth sat down on the loveseat while Mrs. Jackson was on the recliner. Lucy was on Annabeth's lap.

"So how was camp?" Mrs. Jackson asked.

"Good, Mom there's something we have to tell you." Percy said. He took a deep breath and gripped Annabeth's hand.

"Mom, Lucy here, is our daughter." Percy said. Mrs. Jackson mouth dropped and she looked at Percy to Annabeth, and then to Lucy.

"How is she your daughter?" Mrs. Jackson asked. Percy and Annabeth explained the whole, created by thought, routine again. Mrs. Jackson nodded every once and awhile.

"Well, I'm a grandma now?" Mrs. Jackson asked.

"Yes, sorry Mrs. Jackson." Annabeth said.

"Sorry? This is great news. Don't be sorry. I'm happy to be a grandma." Mrs. Jackson said, smiling. Percy breathed out a sigh of relief.

They talked and Mrs. Jackson played with her granddaughter. Percy and Annabeth watched this from the kitchen. Percy smiled and held Annabeth closer to his left side. Annabeth smiled back, thinking that this was easy. She put her hand on Percy's right shoulder and held him close. Percy kissed Annabeth temple. Soon it was time for them to leave and they said their goodbyes. Annabeth was smiling the whole way home.

In the car, Percy asked,

"How were we able to Iris message your dad? Iris..."

"Mom says that after the solstice, Zeus let her work again." Annabeth explained. Percy nodded and kept driving. When they reached camp, Piper came running up to them.

"Where's the fire, Piper?" Annabeth asked.

"Thalia's missing. The hunters didn't see her at lunch and she wasn't with Jason. We've been searching for her for the past three hours." Piper explained. Annabeth looked at Percy. He was almost as pale as her.

"Piper, take Lucy to the big house. Annabeth, let's..." Percy stopped when there was a scream.
