With Arms Wide Open
Chapter 7
Percy and Chiron looked at the quarter of Annabeth's stomache that was pitch black, and Chiron said "This is the work of Ilithyia the goddess of childbirth".
Percy looked at Chiron slightly confused and asked "Why would the Goddess of Childbirth do this? Annabeth and I didnt do anything to offend her".
"I'm not sure Percy, I really dont know why she would do this" Chiron said.
The month that followed the attack on Annabeth, was the most stressfull and strenious for Percy. The main reason for this was because half of Annabeth's stomache was now pitch black.
When Percy saw this, he spat a thousand curses at the goddess of childbirth for doing this to him and Annabeth.
Meanwhile at Ilithyia's home
"I must be out of my mind" Ilithyia mutterd as she stepped out of the shower.
For the last month since she laid that curse on Annabeth, Ilithyia had been having very bad nightmares.
After waking up from another nightmare, Ilithyia sighed, before making up her mind about lifting the curse on Annabeth and her baby.
Two days later Ilithyia walked into the infirmary, as she did, Percy growled and pinned her to the wall, Riptide in his hand and at her throat.
"W..Wait I'm here to help" Ilithyia choked out.
"Why should I believe you?" Percy hissed as he held Ilithyia against the wall.
"PERCY!" boomed Chiron sprainging up out of his wheelchair and walking over to him.
"Let her go Percy, she's a Goddess" Chiron said.
Percy glared back at Chiron before stepping away from Ilithyia, Riptide shrinking back to its pen form.
Ilithyia stepped forward and looked between Percy, Chiron, and Annabeth whose stomache was now pitch black.
"Im very sorry for doing what I did to you and Annabeth" Ilithyia said looking at Percy.
"What do you want Ilithyia" Percy asked eyeing her wearingly.
"I've come to undo the damage that I've done" Ilithyia said.
Ilithyia walked up to Annabeth and placed her hand on the stomache, before saying "Ας το μωράκι ζώντων".
Annabeth gasped as her eyes opened and the blackness on her stomache/baby bump receded at once.
"Annabeth" Percy said as Annabeth sat up, breathing hard.
Annabeth looked up at Ilithyia and then at Percy and Chiron before asking "What happend, why am I in the infirmary"?
"I was forced to end your babie's life", Ilithyia said looking at her.
Annabeth's eyes widened before reaching down touching her large baby bump, "Is my baby dead"?
Ilithyia shook her head and smiled at Annabeth and said "No I took back the damage".
...
A few days had passed, and Annabeth was finally allowed out of the Infimary.
Currently, Annabeth, Percy, Chiron, Grover and Ilithyia were in the big house filling in Annabeth at what she had missed over the last couple months.
Annabeth and Percy looked at each other and nodded, before looking at Illithyia and both asked "Ilithyia who forced you into killing our baby"?.
"Ahh i wonderd when you would ask me that" Ilithyia said, after finishing a square of ambrosia.
Ilithyia bit her bottom lip before looking at Percy and Annabeth and said "The Goddess who forced me to kill your baby was..Athena".
A/N End of Chapter 7, The Next Chapter will be the last one! also Ας το μωράκι ζώντων means "Let this Baby Live" in ancient greek, Also when Ilithyia did what she did to Annabeth, It made her go into like a coma, also as well She is in her 8th month.
