Ok This is Part two. Here we go :D
Oh!! And Annabethfan98 (and all you other Percabeth lovers) I Promise. I'm not ruining percabeth. Keep reading and you'll see what I mean. You'll probably all hate me in the next chapter. But you'll get in after the next few after that. Just please don't stop reading because of that. L
Daniel and I walked down the hall to the waiting room for the maturity ward. There was a few people there, but not a lot. We sat in two seats by the window.
"So how long have you known Thalia?" He asked trying to get comfortable.
"Since I was seven." I said looking over at him.
"So you two are pretty tight?" He asked.
"Yeah. She's been through everything with me.. Well except the couple years she got turned into a tree." I said. Then quickly realized what I had said. Shit. Maybe he hadn't heard it. He looked over at me with a weird expression on his face. Dammit.
"Ummm, what I mean is.." I said trying to think of an excuse to justify saying she had turned into a tree.
"Oh, it's ok. Thalia told me all about that stuff" He said smiling.
"Huh?" I said confused.
"Yeah, I was with her when someone… umm… Iris messaged her. I think that's what it called." He said.
"Yeah." I said.
"So are you one too?" He asked.
"Yeah. Daughter of Athena" I said.
"That's so cool. I took a class on Greek mythology in college." He said.
"Oh really? Where'd you go to college?" I asked interested.
"Columbia." He said.
"Me too!" I said.
"Really? What was your major?" He asked smiling. He was cute when he smiled.
"Architecture. You?" I asked.
"Paleontology" He said.
"Like dinosaurs and fossils?" I asked.
"Exactly" He said smiling again.
"That's really cool!" I aid.
And so the evening went on. Blake came out around 1 am to tell us Thalia was going into surgery. Around twoish Daniel and I and been driven to the point where we were having thumb wars to entertain ourselves.
"I clearly won that" He said.
"No. you were only holding my thumb for two seconds. It has to be three" I said smirking.
"Fine" He said reaching for my hand and grabbing my thumb.
"What are you doing" I said.
"Three" He said.
"Ok. Fine you win" I said looking at him. He was still holding my thumb. And I didn't really mind.
"Yes I do" He said moving his hand so he was holding my whole hand. I leaned back onto the chair still holding his hand and looked into his eyes. His brown hair was covered by a red and silver baseball cap which said "Ohio State Buckeyes" on it and his hazel eyes looked back at me. I slid over onto his chest and he put his arm around me as I fell asleep. It was nice to be close to someone again. Even if I didn't think it would last, but I hoped.
I was woken up by someone shaking me. My first thought was to hit them, seeing as I lived alone. But then I realized the person was holding me. Either I was in some serious trouble or the images that were flooding back to me of Thalia in the hospital and Daniel and I weren't a dream.
I opened my eyes a little, looking down at me was Daniel. I smiled I got up from the slouching position I was in. I saw the clock on the wall. Four am. How long does it take to have a kid?!
That's when I saw it. I turned and saw Blake holding a pink blanket. Smiling down at it. The nurse behind him looking at us with a blank expression.
"Blake! Is that her?" I asked as he walked over.
"Yeah. You guys meet Violet Ava Baily." He said, handing her to me. She was beautiful, her little head had one of those baby caps on, her eyes were closed and her mouth in a little o shape.
"Blake, she's beautiful" Daniel said from behind me.
"She' perfect" I said as she yawned. She was so small.
"She's perfectly healthy, except for the little bruise on her forehead." He said pointing to a little black and blue mark made courtesy of Thalias Rib.
"I just have a question. Why's her middle name Ava?" I asked looking up at him.
"It was our mom's name" Daniel answered.
"Oh, that's sweet" I said smiling.
"Yeah, she would have loved her. She always wanted grandchildren" Blake said looking at his little girl.
"Have you called Mallory yet?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah I called her when we got here" He said, still looking down at Violet sleeping in my arms.
"Who's Mallory?" I asked.
"Our sister" Daniel said.
"Hey, Thalia and I wanted to asked you something." Blake said looking at Daniel and me.
"How is she?" I blurted out, not meaning to interrupt.
"Fine, she's in recovery sleeping." He said smiling.
"Ok, sorry you can finish." I said.
"Well, we were wondering if you two would be the God Parents?" Blake asked.
I looked over at Daniel who was smiling at his brother.
"I personally would love to." Daniel said.
"Me too" I said smiling.
"Great. And you two can go home at anytime. Thalia can't see anyone till tomorrow." He said as Daniel took Violet in his arms.
"I am going to take you up on that" I said yawning.
"I would love to, but I came with you guys" Daniel said.
"Oh, how far away do you live?" I looked up and asked him.
"I live down in little Italy." He said smiling.
"I can take you" I said
"That would be great" He said handing Violet back to Blake.
"Come visit tomorrow when Thalia's up" Blake said.
"Will do" I said as Daniel and I walked towards the elevator, Daniel leaned over and grabbed my hand. I blushed but smiled.
We walked out towards the parking lot and I pulled my sweater up around my face as the wind whipped by.
"Cold?" Daniel asked as we approached my mini cooper.
"Very." I said unlocking it . I got in the front and put the keys in the ignition, and cranked the heat. I waited for the ice on the window to melt a little then turned the wind shield wipers on. I turned around so I could back up, only to notice that the back of my car was a mess. Blue prints, recyclable grocery bags (courtesy of Juniper), McDonalds bags, Mail, Shoes, and other odd things all scattered around the back.
"Sorry the cars such a mess" Driving towards times square.
"No problem. I'm used to it" He said smiling. The city was still alive with action, just like Jay-Z told everyone. As we drove into Little Italy I smelt bread sticks and heard the distant sound of someone singing opera. Even here there were lights everywhere.
"Turn here" He said pointing left, we pulled up to a little apartment. Smaller then mine, but decent size.
"Here we are, home sweet home" He said looking over at me.
"Yeah" I said a little dazed.
"Thanks for the ride" He said.
"No problem" I said as he opened the door.
"Oh and Annabeth?" He said leaning over.
"Yeah?" I said turning around, just noticing hoe close he was.
"Goodnight." He said leaning over and kissing me. Then he got out, closed the door, and walked up to his. He unlocked it and turned around to wave. I waved back a little and drove of once I saw a light go on.
I started driving, when I noticed a little white business card. I picked it up, it was one of mine. I always kept a couple around the car. But on the back was scribbled.
Daniel 637-4943
I parked my car and walked through the snow finally reaching my front door. I walked in and stamped my feet on the rug. I took Daniels number and tacked it onto the tack bored in the kitchen, brushed my teeth and washed up, put my pjs on, and crawled into bed. All in all, it had been a pretty good day. The thing that bugged me though was I hadn't even thought of Percy all day. Not even when I was with Daniel. I felt like I was loosing his memory. Something I really did not want to do. But it was kinda a good thing though, it meant I was moving on. But I'm not sure I really wanted to.
