Healing

Chapter 3

A/N: Hello my dear British mustaches! I am a terrible human being! I took more than a month to update! *Shudders* I'll try to make it up to you by updating my two stories and maybe post another one! It will be Percabeth (Shocker, right?) and will be about all the fluffiness of the period of time that Annabeth gets pregnant with Percy kid! (Aww)

Anyway... Enjoy!

Previously:

"Ready to break the news?" she asked him. Percy sighed and nodded. Annabeth felt when he held her hand for support. Annabeth was almost sure that wasn't supposed to happen when you go to the hospital, but at the moment, she didn't care. At all.

Now:

Annabeth opened the door of Sammuel's room and felt like crying when she saw Percy run to Sammuel when he opened his little arms when he saw his father. Percy hugged him, but weakly, so he couldn't under any circumstances hurt Sammy.

Annabeth got close to his bed and looked at them. She started thinking on how she would never have those cute moments with her father. But that thought vanished when the little boy opened his eyes and looked straight at her. Those sea-green eyes were the exact replica of Percy's. Meaning: They were beautiful.

"Who is she, Daddy?" Sammuel asked and Annabeth smiled. Percy broke the hug apart and looked at his son.

"Sammy, this is Annabeth." Sammy looked at Annabeth. Then he patted a place on his bed, telling her to seat next to him. Annabeth looked around to make sure no doctor was around. She didn't know if doctors were supposed to do this kind of things. She had already held the hand of her patient's father. She was afraid she was pushing to hard by sitting on a patient's bed.

But she did it anyway. When she was beside him, he made a sign for her to bend down. She did as told and he put his two little hands around her ear and said: "You're pretty". She smiled and cupped his ear and whispered: "Thanks".

Percy just looked at them smiling. He looked like he hadn't heard what they said, which made her happy. The feeling of sharing a little secret with Sammy made her feel warm inside.

"So... Sammy, can I call you like that?" she said and he nodded. "Sammy, how are you feeling?"

"My chest hurts." he said. Annabeth put on her stethoscope and listened to his heartbeat. Irregular. That wasn't good. "Could you please stand Sammy?"

Sammy nodded and stood. But right after it his knees failed and Annabeth and Percy supported him before he could fall. They put him in bed again and he tried to sit, but Annabeth's hand stopped him.

"Please, don't try to make any sudden movements, Sammy."

Sammy just nodded. Annabeth started making the general exams on Sammy, and finished after some minutes. She turned to Percy.

"Percy, I'm sorry, but we have to leave him now, so he can rest." She said, and saw Sammy's head snap when he heard her. But he didn't try to sit, which was good.

"No! Daddy, please don't leave me!" he said and Annabeth had to turn to avoid them seeing that silly tear that escaped her eye. She could only hear Percy saying: "Don't worry little guy, I'll be back as soon as I can. I promise. Everything will be alright."

Annabeth went towards the door and leaved the room. When she was on the front desk, she felt a hand holding hers. She turned and saw Percy. She didn't noticed she was staring at their hands, tied together until he let it go, looking away for a while, looking kind of embarrassed and blushing.

He coughed to clear his throat. "Sorry for that. Umm, I was wondering if I could walk around the hospital with you…"

"Umm, I…"

"Just because I didn't want to wait near him, I think I'm going to start freaking out if I think too much about… all… this."

Annabeth saw Juniper, one of the nurses, behind the front desk, smirking at her. Annabeth felt a sudden childish side of her wanting to stick her tongue out at her.

"I don't know if it isn't against the rules…" she started saying, but was cut off by Juniper, telling her it wasn't. Annabeth didn't know if she wanted to yell or thank the nurse.

Now, Juniper and Percy had this expectation look on their faces, and Annabeth just couldn't say no to them, so she let Percy walk around with her.

First, Annabeth went to check on Kayla. The minute Annabeth got into the room; the little girl's eyes sparkled, like they always did when she was around. A shocker: Kayla loved Percy. Usually, Kayla wouldn't even talk to anyone besides Annabeth. But as soon as Percy said 'Hi', Kayla passed to like him.

After that, they went pass the kids with cancer. Percy talked about Kayla (like, how wonderful of a kid she was and how she didn't deserve to have this horrible disease) during the whole way. When they got there, Annabeth sat beside a small boy, with his head all bandaged up.

On their way to God knows where they stopped in a room that had a girl with a tumor on her head named Grace. After they went out, she told him Grace had only a few months of life, when he asked her why she had this sadness look on her face.

They walked and walked until a loud siren was heard. Annabeth ran after it. It was the Emergency siren. Percy stood behind, and watched as the paramedics took out the person on a stretcher off the ambulance. There were so many people around the stretcher; he could barely see the person.

They were going to pass beside where he was, so he just waited.

When the person passed next to him, he saw how bad she was hurt. It had cuts all over her face and had a large cut on her left arm. The doctors were screaming directions and orders, but Percy couldn't hear them.

Because he knew the girl in the stretcher.
