A.N I was looking up pregnancy facts and my mom came in my room. I had to sit through a very long lecture for you guys! Chapter 3! Enjoy and Review.

Chapter 3: Demigod Only symptom: Vivid dreams

3 Months later…

2nd trimester.

Percy

When I came home, I found Annabeth asleep on the base of the stairs. She literally could not make it halfway up the stairs. I chuckled as I scooped her up and carried her the rest of the way to our room. I would never say it to her but she was beginning to show and was therefore getting heavier. It didn't matter much to me, I loved her too much for it to matter.

"Mmm…" I heard her groan. "Did I fall asleep?"

"On the stairs, yes."

"I'm sorry." She said.

"It's fine."

"I'm hungry."

"Do you want something specific?"

"A milkshake."

"Alright. I can do that."

"From Shake Away."

My eyes bugged out. "You do realize the nearest one is halfway across New York?"

"You better leave now. Looks like rain."

"Alright." I shrugged heading out the door.

Annabeth

"DADDY!" I watched as a toddler, no more than 6 swing down from a very high platform. She remained hanging upside down so she could see her father eye level. It took me a while to realize that was Percy, the little girl was talking to.

Percy jumped. "Athena, what did your mom say about climbing things in the house?"

Athena. The name replayed in my head. I wouldn't have thought I'd name my first child after my mother but the name did suit the child. She had soft raven locks, which were pulled into pigtails and my gray eyes. Then I realized it wasn't 'the child' it was my child.

"She said not to, but I was wondering why she would say that?" Athena was smart, I could already tell. Percy pulled her from the high entryway and sat her on the counter of the kitchen.

"Well she doesn't want you to hurt yourself from falling."

"But Counselor Clarisse says 'Only failures fall.' I'm not a failure, DADDY!" She shouted.

"I know, Athens." I smiled a little at the fact that she was nicknamed after one of my favorite cities. "And Clarisse is wrong. What do I always say?"

"Even the greatest heroes fall." She smiled.

"And I know your going to be a great hero someday. But you're going to fall, eventually. And it takes the greatest hero of them all to get back up." He smiled and picked her up.

"I love you, daddy."

"I love you too." He laughed. "Now, don't climb the walls again, understood?"

"I promise."

I gasped when I woke up. What the hell just happened? I asked myself. I made the mental note to talk to Chiron about that later. I heard the door open downstairs and I ran for the front door. Running right into Percy and pulling him into the biggest hug ever. He seemed startled but hugged me back.

"Wow, all this because I got you a milkshake?"

"No." I shook my head and before I knew it the tears were falling. "You're going to be a great dad, Percy."

"Umm thanks?" He said. "Why are you crying, babe?"

"I'm just so sure of it." I laughed.

Reyna

I watched as a little girl sat in the middle of the living room muttering and petting what looked like thin air.

"What is she doing?" I heard someone say. I turned and saw a slightly older version of myself.

"What do you mean?" I saw Nico appear next to me. He rolled his eyes. "Chase, I told you to stop raising cats."

She looked up startled at her father. "Sorry." She said in a small voice.

She looked like Nico, uncannily. She had long hair that curled around her face and the deep brown, almost black eyes her father had.

The scene shifted and showed Nico walking around the underworld with Chase. I knew it was a nickname I just didn't know what it stood for. I watched as they entered Hades throne room.

I, for one, was shocked by Hades actions toward the child.

"Hello beautiful." He said, walking across the room to them.

"Uh, hey dad?" Nico said.

"Not you." He held his arms out as the Chase stretched to reach him. "How are you, Chastity?"

Chastity? Why would I let him name my daughter that? It practically means to refrain from sex! We're practically setting her up to be a Huntress or an Amazon!

"GRANDPA HADES!" I heard her shout while hugging him. "Look what I can do!" And for a moment she took on a demonic expression and her gigantic eyes turned almost blood red.

Hades laughed. "She's a little terror, isn't she?" The little girl smiled up at him, showing off her fangs.

I bolted up right when I heard a knock at the door.

"Hey, Rey." Nico said, walking in. "How're are you feeling?"

"We're going to have a demon child." I blurted out.

"Excuse me?"

"I had a dream about her. She was petting ghost cats. And she had red eyes and fangs. We're having the devil's spawn!"

"Well, technically I'm the devil's spawn…" I gave him a look. "Reyna calm down, it's probably not as bad as it seems. What did you see?"

I explained my dream to him and he laughed. "That's it?" He said trying to contain his laughter.

"What do you mean that's it?" I snapped. "That's enough!"

"Look, I was far worse when I was a child and I turned out fine." He said. "I have a feeling that this has nothing to do with the dream."

"What if I'm a bad mother?" I blurted. "What if she grows up and hates me?"

"I'm sure that won't happen."

"But sometimes I'm so wrapped up in running New Rome that I forget to even eat or bathe. How am I going to raise a child on top of that?"

"You're forgetting that you're not alone anymore." He smirked. "And I'll do everything I can to help you with anything you need."

"Really?"

"Absolutely." He smiled.

Lyric

"Lyric, Hey!" Annabeth said as she greeted me with a hug. "Come in! How are you?"

"My feet have grown 2 sizes, my back hurts, and my boobs are so sore, I think they're going to fall off." I plopped down on their couch next to Perseus and motioned to him. "Rub my feet, Percy."

"I'm not rubbing your—"

I shot him a glare and he immediately got to work.

"So, are you excited?" Annabeth said sitting in her desk chair.

"Excited about what?" I said.

"Valdez is coming back today!" She said.

"Oh yea, I suppose that's important."

"So what are you guys going to do?"

"I'm probably going to take a nap when I get home and then I'm going to watch Bridezillas." I said.

"You don't have anything special planned? You haven't seen him in 3 months."

"Do I look like the type of person that plans for anything?" I snorted. "Come on, Annabeth you know me."

"I don't know why, but I feel like you're the worst wife ever." Percy said.

"Oh, I'm sorry I don't make him sandwiches and I don't make him iced tea while he sits on the porch in his rocking chair." I said sarcastically. "It's the 21st century, Percy." I gestured at him. "Rub harder."

"Why am I even rubbing your feet?"

"Because I'm your little sister and you love me?"

"When are you going to go get him from the airport?" Annabeth asked.

"Umm, I think he said six?"

"Don't you want to confirm?"

"Naw, it's cool."

"You've gotten lazier since you got pregnant." Percy commented.

"And you've gotten fatter since you've gotten married." I said. "Skipped a few gym visits haven't you?"

"You've also gotten meaner." He said.

"I'm sorry." I said. "It's just that I'm so bored. I can't dance while I'm pregnant so I need to find work or do something." I sighed. "Is the aquarium hiring, Percy?"

"Yea, Lucinda transferred so we need someone to take her place. I'll put in a good word for you."

"Much appreciated." I smiled until I heard a knock at the door. "Expecting company?" I said.

"Not that I know of." Percy said. "You'll get it."

"Really? I'm pregnant!"

"You're also lazy." The knock came again. Percy just nodded his head at the door.

I got up. "Annabeth, you married an asshole." I said before getting up.

I walked to the door and when I opened it my jaw dropped.

"Valdez!" I shouted, before slamming the door in his face. I exhaled and re-opened the door.

He raised an eyebrow. "Gonna slam the door again?" He asked.

"I just can't believe you're here." I smiled, hugging him. "You said you weren't coming until 6."

"I said 12."

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did, but its ok I didn't expect you to remember anyway."

"I haven't seen you in 3 months and you want to be an asshole?"

"I'm sorry." He laughed and kissed the top of my head. We pulled apart and he looked at me. Or mainly the round bump that replaced my otherwise flat stomach. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, no complications. Doctor says I'm healthy."

"Mmm…" He nodded placing a hand on my stomach. He seemed distracted.

"You ok, Valdez?" I asked, raising one eyebrow.

"Hmm?" He said. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts. "Yea, I'm fine. I'm just… I'm just happy."

I tilted my head at him but quickly shook it off. I grabbed his hand.

"Come on, let's go home."
