Sorry I haven't updated in a long long time guys, I have no motivation…..except the building threats of a friend (back off with the promise of throwing your pink softball at my face and spiking a volleyball in my direction!) and then there are the Latin peeps threatening to destroy me (you know who you are!!!!)

Disclaimer-We all know I don't own PJO, yet you insist I tell you and if I have to do it one more time I'll sue! Ha ha, I rhymed for Christmas!

Percy's POV

"Ow ow ow, Annabeth, gentle!"

"Stop being such a baby Percy." She spit back but lightened the pressure she was applying with the ice on my forehead where her mother had very tactfully bent a golf club. Annabeth had got us out of there as soon as we heard Zeus lecturing my father on being mean to "Daddy's little girl". We came back to my house where Nico and Thalia were drug away to Thea's room (forcibly) so they could play tea with her and her teddy bear Noodles. Annabeth had, all in a matter of seconds, rolled some ice up in a washcloth, pushed it on my face, and punched me every time I whined. She's going to make a great mother. Speaking of mothers…..

"Percy," Mine cooed on the couch across from us, "I'm so excited for you two! I am going to be a grandmother….granted I would have liked you to wait a little while but, still!" Paul walked in just about then holding two glasses of dark liquid I assumed was tea and sat next to my mother, handing her a glass and draping an arm around her shoulder. Annabeth pushed her knee deeper into my hip so she could push be back further until my back was pressed tightly against the couch and she was shifting the ice on my head.

"OW! Desist with the pain to Percy thing already," She glared but I ignored it, deciding instead to attack the other woman in the room, "Mom you spanked me because I impregnated my girlfriend and now you're happy!? You bipolar-"

"Percy Jackson you do not speak to me like that young man or I will ground you! And besides, the spanking was necessary. I used to spank you when you would take your pants off in the restaurant and run around screaming remember? It's not like it hurt you, just enough to teach you to stop. Just because I spanked you doesn't mean I'm not happy about the baby. In fact I'm overjoyed!" I chocked. Literally. On my spit. This was getting a bit to awkward for me.

"Mom I think I heard Thea calling for ya'all." Both Paul and my Mother looked confused.

"I didn't-"

"No, ah, Percy's right," Annabeth caught on to my plan, "Thea was calling both of you….for tea. Better hurry, you know how she gets." My parents shared their confusion with a look but they left for an oak door covered in pink posters proudly proclaiming the room behind it Thea the Princesses. I waited until I heard the definite click of the door shut to grab Annabeth's hand and pull her into the hallway outside the apartment. My sigh echoed through said hallway.

"Percy are you okay?" Annabeth weaved her arms around my waist and rested her forehead on my chest, a heavy breath creating a patch of heat where my heart was.

"Beside the whole 'my girlfriend is pregnant' thing and then my mother chasing me around with a spoon-oh! Did I mention that your mother smacked me across the face with a golf club!? Yeah I'm just dandy!" Her face suddenly appeared in front of mine, scowling.

"Percy….." And her scowl melted. Tears replacing it and her face back in my chest, a salty wetness taking the place of the heat patch. A black hole formed in my stomach. How had I just been so selfish? Grrr, terrible, stupid ass-

"Annabeth, come on. I'm taking us some where for us to relieve some stress. Don't give me that look, just be quiet and follow." She did what was said, mostly, after a sniff and a "Any feminist heard you say that and you would have died." Her hand was small in mine but a familiar comfort I couldn't live without, I wondered what it would be like to feel the hand we had created.

"Percy where are we going?"

"You'll see." I smiled at the sunset outside the building.

……………………………………………….

"Percy where exactly have you taken us?" Annabeth mumbled from the corner she had pushed herself into, which happen to be me because I was in the corner. I had taken us to a diner my mother always took me to when I would lose a soccer game or get kicked out of a school, it always made me feel better. I think it was because it was one of the worst diners there were in New York. The tables were hardly what ne would call clean, the food had something grey in it that wasn't pepper, the floor had originally been white but now was a muddy brown color, and the paint was peeling. I loved it. I had led Annabeth to my booth (that I always sat at) and scooted into the corner against the wall, then she scooted in behind me sitting against my chest. Annabeth refused to order anything, complaining about viral threats so I ordered for her, a plate of fries and a soda sat in front of us. Untouched. She had kinnda, just, fell into me. She was looking tired.

"Percy why are we here?" For the sixth time. Smiling I tightened my grip on her, taking in the scent of her hair.

"Well my baby holding love, I wanted to talk to you. About our future-you sure you don't want one of these fries? There good…." I offered her the one I was about to eat then thought better of it but her look made me shrug and eat it myself. She shook her head, smiling, and leaned into me softly stroking my ribs.

"Our future? Is that your way of proposing Seaweed Brain?" I had never thought of that. Huh. Leave it to a daughter of Athena to see things that aren't there.

"Ah, no that wasn't a proposal Annabeth……unless you wanted it to be….." I looked down at her, she was looking at me in a joking matter so I let it drop, "I was talking about the kid. That we are going to have. Ah….I was wondering if…..you ah, wanted me…involved. With it, or er, he or she. Unnamed baby neuter thingy yet to be found out of….ah, yeah." Annabeth went ridged. Her breath became rigid. She sat up slowly, letting me, and staring at me blankly. And yet seething with fury.

"Percy Jackson don't you ever say anything like that again, do you understand!? Of course I want you 'involved'! I love you Percy! You are the father of my child and you will be around for our child. Why would you think I wouldn't want you involved?" Her grey eyes were a storm cloud threatening to let loose their fury any moment. Her grip on my wrist, which I just noticed, was making my hands tingle from loss of blood.

"I-I just thought-"

"You thought!? Well Percy Jackson did you once think that maybe I need you in this!? Percy…."And she melted into my arms again, burying her face in my neck, "Percy I need you. I can't raise a child on my own…..especially if it's of relation to you." I felt her smile. A chain reaction made me smile with her. We sat there, me playing with her hair while she dozed in my arms for a while until,

"Percy we should get an apartment together."

"I'll have to get a job, to help pay rent." She made a sweet humming noise in concurrence.

"Plus we can use the money I make re-building Olympus. We'll get a three bedroom. One room for me and you, one for the baby and another for our crap." She laughed at herself.

"Sounds like a deal to me, wanna seal the deal with a kiss?" I whispered into her hair. She laughed softly.

"No."

"Too bad, I want a kiss or you can't live with me." She leaned in to where her lips were brushing mine, a taunting thought of how I could just press a little further, then she jumped up and walked out of the diner, laughing like the mad hatter himself as she went.

"Oh that is harsh!" I yelled, throwing some money on the table and chasing after her.

1:08 am and done. Sorry its short and is kinnda a filler but I have writers block and was sick of the threats for an update so there ya go.
