Percy's POV
I was so caught up with Zuri that I almost forgot about Annabeth. Well, I did forget about her, actually, until I heard someone clear their throat and look down at me expectantly. Annabeth looked a little pissed and she was tapping her foot on the floor, a dead give away that she was impatient for answers. I'm actually surprised that that foot hasn't fallen off yet, to be honest. "Uhhmm, Percy, sorry to interrupt and all, but who is that?" I could tell by her voice that she was anything but sorry, but Zuri didn't seem to notice anything. She let me go and bounced up, she was just a couple of centimeters taller than Annabeth when they were standing next to each other, I noticed. "Hi," she turned and grinned at me, "I'm Percy's ex-girlfriend." I sighed and got up, frowning at her and shaking my head. "You have got to stop introducing yourself like that, Z. Especially since this is Annabeth, my wife." I especially stressed the wife part to my younger brother's girlfriend and rolled my eyes. I went and put my arms around her but she shrugged me off. "You're covered in whipped cream, Percy." She said exasperatedly, "but still, explain."
"Come on, Annabeth, honey, listen, she met me when I was visiting my dad underwater yeah? She's a naiad, so, you know, she was there. We became really good friends before we went on one date." Annabeth raised one perfect eyebrow at me. "It was a complete disaster, I swear." I smiled at Zuri, putting one arm around her and ruffling her hair. "This one was so awkward about the whole thing and just to rub salt in the wound, she went and fell in love with my bro here." Tyson laughed and stepped up too, putting and arm around her waist and smiling at her. Annabeth looked at me, her expression softer than what it was before. "Oh right, okay." She smiled at me and I practically beamed back. "She's basically my sister," I eyed Annabeth questioningly, "and, um, guys, we might have something to tell you too, right?" Annabeth nodded and bounded over to me, hugging me around the middle and eyeing Zuri a little uncertainly. "Yeah, we do, actually, um, we are, well, I am, I guess, basically, we are going to, um-" I cut her off, it's the ADHD I suppose, I couldn't deal with her bumbling on. "Annabeth's pregnant!"
Annabeth's POV
I think I might have to go to the hospital, honestly, I think that that ear-splitting shriek might have shattered my eardrums. Honestly, it was so high, it rivaled that of my 6-year-old half sister when Travis and Conner Stoll put a spider in the Athena cabin. In her bed. And surprisingly it didn't come from Zuri, it came from Tyson. He ran towards Percy and I, pulling us into a giant bear hug. Zuri grinned and thumped him on the back, saying; "Aye, aye, aye, it's Papa Percy!" I laughed out loud, and any tension in the room immediately dissipated. We did a kinda group hug thing, and Percy and I looked at each other, smiling, I could tell he was over the moon that I got along with Zuri, although I still had a bone to pick with him after they left, but that could always wait for later…
*One week later*
"Hey," I felt a hand on my face. I shoved it off, "Annabeth?"
"Yeah?" I asked, sleepily. "Whotsit?"
"Whotsits?" Percy sat up straight, "Where?" (A/N: Just so you know whotsits are an English snack, kind of like Cheetos, I'm English so there might be quite a lot of English stuff here but I'll try and keep it universal) I laughed groggily, "lie back down, Seaweed Brain, I meant what is it?"
"Oh." There was a pause. "Right, right." The bed dipped down as my husband got back in bed. He rolled over to my side and slid his hands around me. "I was thinking, you know that even though I will love the baby and everything, you know, Grover told me that they're annoying little buggers." Another pause. "In the nicest way possible." I furrowed my brow, "What are you trying to say, Percy?" I rolled around in his arms so I was facing him and he leaned forward pressing his forehead against mine. "What I'm trying to say is, you know how I always say that normal is overrated? Well, maybe you know, maybe it isn't..." He ended this in a questioning tone so I nodded as encouragement for him to go on. "Well, I want to take you out," this time he nodded, seemingly a lot more confident. "Yeah, before the baby comes, well, we have 9 months don't we? We can do all the normal things that we didn't get to do before." He gave me his 'Percy Jackson smile'; lopsided yet perfect, crooked yet straight, ugh, superficial but still completely genuine. I have to admit, his excitement was contagious, and I let out a little giggle. "Alright, alright, Seaweed Brain, you've got me, so where are you going to take me first?" I smiled what I hoped was a coy smile and he took it as his cue to start telling me all his plans. "So we are going to go on a carriage ride in Central park, and then I'm going to take you to that sweet shop where my mom used to work, and then to this little pond where I went as a kid, and then when its cold enough I'll take you ice skating at Rockefeller center, and we can go get dinner at the place where I first discovered blue pancakes! Oh and that little stall on the corner at 34th and Madison (A/N: Not true, I stayed there, so I just wrote it down, but all it has is the empire state building, Macy's a couple of blocks away, and a whole bunch of taco stands), they do the best hot chocolate in the world; we have to get that too. And then there's the fair, with the Ferris wheel and the big bubble things you run around in and then there's the ring toss and Oh. My. God. You haven't been to the empire state building!" At this I raised my eyebrows at him, I mean seriously? He's not that dense. "Oh, I mean you have, of course, but not really, I mean you haven't been to the top floor. Well, not the top floor, but the top human floor, it's just the best place ever, you know, I bet you'll love it because you know, you like architecture and stuff, and that like buildings, right? And I'm sure that you can see all the buildings from there, because it's like super tall and everything, but I know that you've seen taller of course, I mean you were the freaking architect for Olympus, of course you've seen taller but you know what? Well, I'm a New Yorker and maybe you don't get it but there's just a certain feel for this place, you know, looking at all the other New Yorkers up there with you and looking at the stars, and the whole of New York city, it's just amazing, and of course, you know with the whole war thing, I'll totally understand if you don't want to go there, I mean it has some pretty bad memories, I'll admit. But you know, one time, I fell over and hurt myself at a restaurant and then my mom wanted me to go back there! And I told her, no, that place is associated with bad memories, and she said, well, Percy, you always need some good to cancel out the bad, and we went there and I had a great time and- oomph" I couldn't take it any more, he looked so cute, and so excited, like a little kid on Christmas morning, I just kissed him. I felt a little bad about cutting him off but, I mean, plans can wait can't they? It started out as a little chaste peck on the lips, but Percy pulled me closer and about 5 minutes later I pushed him away, breathing heavily. I turned and grinned at him, "So, what are we going to do today?"
A/N: So, it wasn't Percy's sister, but one of his long lost friends, okay I'll admit it, she was going to be his sister at first, but I'll try to make this a un-cliché as possible, but still all nice and Percabeth-y… Okay so I know this is short but I really wanted to post something today because this is a new story and I'm really excited about it, also, 3 days till 2015 everybody! Also I have an IMPORTANT, VERY IMPORTANT question to ask you guys, even if your in a hurry, just type in a quick message saying would you rather I update quite quickly with whatever I have, so like every at least every 3 days or so, but with short chapters, OR wait till I have quite a long chapter even if it takes a bit longer? Please, please tell me, so I know when to post and stuff… also, I'm aware that this fanfic isn't very funny… yet. I will try to make it a bit more funny if I can.
