Percy whimpered as he puked into his salt water pool, the plans for an attached bathroom and nursery still in the works and he felt like he wouldn't have been able to make it to the camp toilets in time.

"S-sorry Dad…" he gasped out wiping his mouth and getting up to hunt down his meds.

As he popped the pills he heard a knocking at the door and opened it to find Annabeth holding some cinnamon buns…that made his stomach churn. He clapped his hand over his mouth and nose trying to keep said pills down.

"Oh…" the blonde got the message and ran off to get rid of the sweet breads that was making him sick.

Once she came back he felt a lot better though she looked a little amused.

"What did you do?"

"Gave them to Nico and Will for breakfast. Nico didn't want to eat it because you know how he is then Will stuffed it into his mouth. Don't worry, Nico's fine, he was just shocked at what Will did."

"Sorry, I know you like them," Percy told her.

Annabeth kissed his cheek, "It's not your fault nor Jason's. I did a little research into your condition and some scents can make you feel sick. Speaking of which…did you take your meds?"

"Yes…a bit too late…I got sick into my fountain…" he told her before looking down at his stomach, "Stop making your dad sick young man!"

Annabeth started to laugh, "Percy…there are a few things you should know. One there is a chance the baby technically doesn't have a set gender yet but it's more female than male right now therefore it might be a girl when born."

"Oh…" said the dark-haired male turning pink as a rather peeved looking Nico marched up starting to summon skeletons.

"Chase!" he growled clearly in a bad mood, "Thanks to you not only was I force fed, but Will gave me yet another lecture about my eating habits! What the hell!?"

Percy dove between his girlfriend his attacking cousin causing the younger demigod to stop his attack making then elder of the two boys blink.

"I'm not going to attack you, move."

"Not if you're attacking my Wise Girl," he replied.

Nico couldn't think of a thing to say and just walked off muttering about lying down due to a stomach ache from having more food then he was used to these days.

"We need to talk to Will about helping him with that…Tartarus was rough, but we didn't start literally starving ourselves," Percy pointed out as they walked to the dinning pavilion to get something for the pregnant boy to eat.

"He was also stuck in a large urn for a long time," his girlfriend reminded him as Percy grabbed an apple and started to eat.

"Oh yeah!" Percy started to say with a mouth full of apple.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Grover told him grabbing a pear.

Percy looked over at him, "Sorry, I'm hungry and we're talking. Kind of hard to balance them."

"Oh Percy," sighed Annabeth kissing his head making him grin as he continued to eat his apple.

…

As summer was wont to do it ended far too soon for Percy's liking meaning that he was now at camp without Annabeth there to comfort him, he now had an extra room for the baby and a bathroom making things easier for him. He was now three months pregnant according to Will, though he was still having some morning sickness though not enough to make him vomit unless he smelt cinnamon. He climbed out of bed and went to ready himself for the day, one of his newest customs, besides taking his medications for the baby's health as well as his own, was checking to see if his body changed at all. So far, the only thing that he really noticed was his nipples were a little darker, though as far as Will could tell it was just a side effect of his pregnancy hormones not his body making milk. Though this morning he noticed his abs looked less defined but that could also be from the lack of activity, so he chose to keep it to himself as he pulled on a clean shirt then headed out for breakfast.

"You should eat more than apples for breakfast," Will pointed out as he munched on said fruit, "Maybe some eggs or toast."

"Fine, tomorrow I'll have some eggs and toast, happy?"

Will held up his hands, "Just doing my job."

"Why don't you focus on your boyfriend's weight, he's still a stick figure," Percy growled out, a little annoyed at Will for feeling the need to bug him all the time.

"He's doing better," protested the blonde before backing off to put some scrambled eggs on a plate for Nico honestly want his boyfriend to be healthier.

Nico rolled his eyes as his boyfriend bullied him into eating more then he was used these days. One thing Percy looked forward to a great deal was talking to his girlfriend and his family n Friday's and Saturdays, today was the latter meaning it was his turn to speak to his family. His mom had been giving him lots of tips and advice for his pregnancy while Annabeth had found a copy of "What to expect when you're expecting" that had been translated to ancient Greek, so he could read it with ease.

He smiled as he got the call from his mother, finding her on the other side of the image holding his sister.

"Buba!" squealed Stella seeing him.

"Hey sis, are you being good?"

"She misses you a lot, we all do," Sally told him smiling, "How have you been?"

Percy sighed, "I got nagged to eat more at breakfast by Will this morning, or at least something more that an apple, I'm still getting queasy at times and my abs are starting to fade."

"Its ok, sweetie," Sally assured him, "I was sick quite a few times with you and your sister. You do need protein but that doesn't mean you have to have it at breakfast."

"I have protein at lunch and dinner," replied Percy as his little sister gummed a toy seahorse he had given her, "Don't worry about that."

"Good to know, are you keeping up with your studies? I know Annabeth wants you to be able to go to college with you."

"Yes, Mom, the books here are in Greek so I'm having a much easier time than usual," he told her with a smile.

Sally nodded, "Did you get our care package?"

"Yeah, I showed Annabeth the cute little Owl onesie you sent. Her dad and stepmom went a little over board though, they sent a whole set of bibs for the baby's first year! Let's see," he reached to his side and pulled over the stack of bibs and started showing them to his mom and sister, "We have "My first New Year's" with next the year after next on it since the baby's not due until January, First Valentines day, first St Patrick's day, Easter, fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and first birthday."

"Well now you have bibs for every occasion."

"Yeah 'cause you sent one with a fish on it," replied Percy.

"Fishy!" agreed Stella clapping.

"Did you help pick it out, Stella?" he asked with a smile.

Stella nodded, "Help!"

"I miss you guys…"

"We miss you too, Percy."

"Per see!" cooed his sister making both her mother and half-brother gasp.

"Did she just!?" asked the demigod.

"Percy! Percy!" she repeated happily.

"I think you made your big brother's day, honey," Sally told her daughter with a big smile, Percy nodded in agreement, "We better get off before we run up the water bill."

"Right, bye Mom, tell Paul I said hi. Stella be good."

"Ba-ba Percy!" Stella told him as their mother blew him a kiss before cutting off the call.

To his surprise Nico came in right after that and his in Percy's closet.

"Nico?"

"Will's trying to weigh me again! I'm sick of him complaining about my weight! He's even talked to Asclepius and Hecate cabins about something to "Help me get to a healthy weight." I'm fine!"

Percy sighed, not wanting to get into this or do what he was about to do, but he walked over to the younger demigod and lifted his Skillet band shirt despite the protests.

"I can see your ribs, Nico. You need to realize he's doing this because he loves you and wants you healthy, we all do."

"Leggo!" protested Nico as Conner stuck his head in.

"Oh, you found him," commented the son of Hermes, "Will figured he might try to hide."

"Why didn't you Shadow Travel away?" Percy asked.

Nico muttered something under his breath trying to free his shirt from the older boy's grip.

"What was that?"

"Last time I tried…I fainted before I could get anywhere ok? Now let go before you mess it up, it's a tour shirt!"

Percy let go but grabbed onto Nico's shoulder before he could try to run again, "All the more reason for you to be treated, you can't use your powers because your body has weakened."

He then steered a protesting son of Hades to the infirmary for treatment. Will was waiting for them with his hands on his hips and a rather annoyed look for his boyfriend.

"Thank you, Percy, for finding him."

"I don't want to drink a potion! Last time I did it tasted like sweaty gym socks and just made me gassy!"

"Last time was a mix up," Will snapped back sitting Nico on an exam bed and grabbing a bottle of green liquid.

It honestly looked like Mountain Dew to Percy but never the less Nico fought as Conner and a few of the other campers held him down as he was forced to drink the potion then swallow it. He really hoped Jason wouldn't be as stubborn as Nico when he had to take medicine. After a few moments the potion seemed to take effect, Nico didn't look a sickly and had some meat on his bones…still looked pissed off though. Once he was released from the dog pile he punched Will in the face and marched off.

Percy looked after Nico then to Will who was holding his nose, "Are you sure dating him is a good idea?"

This got him a glare from the son of Apollo, "I love him."

"Okay, okay! It's just he punched you for trying to help him feel better," Percy pointed out holding out his hands.

Will sighed, "You can't really blame him after I made him take that potion. I'll talk to him, after your check-up."

Percy let out a groan.

"Stop whining, boys normally don't have babies, so I have to keep a constant eye on you to make sure you and the baby are healthy. Now lay down and take off your shirt," Will ordered.

Percy did as he was told, trying to not wiggle as his stomach was examined, "How's he supposed to come out?"

"You have two choices…one is a c-section the other is something the Hecate cabin's been working on, a potion to temporally turn one into a girl though even then you might need a cesarean," Will told him as he felt around the older teen's belly, "Unless something happens between now and your due date. Everything feels fine."

After the usual exam Will declared that Percy was healthy then went off to talk to his boyfriend.

Percy sighed as he walked to the pavilion to get some lunch bumping into Chiron along the way who had a couple boxes in his arms.

He smiled seeing his pregnant student and trotted over, "There you are, I have a few care packages for you."

Percy blinked a few times, "For me? From who?"

The Centaur shifted them to he could read the labels to his student, "Let's see…this one is from Camp Jupiter so likely your friends from there and the other is from your mother."

"I guess lunch will have to wait," he said with a sigh.

"Its fine, I'll drop this off at your cabin, you need to keep up your strength," Chiron told him, "Go on."

Percy smiled, "Thank you sir."

Once he had eaten he headed for his cabin to open his packages. In the one from his mom he found a portable DVD player, some prenatal yoga and Lamaze DVDs, as well as some movies he liked and some fun onesies. Another with a cute picture of an owl Annabeth would love, this one had stars on it, and a pirate one that read "Arrr…change me booty". Percy laughed as he pulled out the letter from his family: "Dear Percy, we hope this package finds you well. We did a little shopping, hope you like what we picked. There is also a little something special among the DVDs, have fun. Take care, we love you."

After a little searching he found the blank DVD, so he popped into the player. He smiled as the image of his little sister sitting on the floor of their home appeared on the screen.

"Stella, walk to daddy, honey," came the voice of Paul who was apparently taping.

The little girl looked at him for a moment before going back to playing with her toy seahorse as Sally laughed off screen.

"She's walking?" asked Percy to only himself as he continued to watch.

"You know we're going to send the video to your brother," pointed out their mother, that statement got the baby's attention.

Percy eyes lit up as his little sister got to her feet and started to toddle to her father chanting, "Baba! Baba! Per-cee! Per-cee!"

Then he started to laugh as she grabbed the camera and their mother cracked up.

"Percy's not in the camera! Sally! Stop laughing and help me before she breaks it!"

"Buba!"

"We love you Percy!"

"Luv Per-cee!"

After the DVD was done he started on the package from his friends in New Rome. He found a beautiful hippocampi and owl mobile from Tyson, from his friends at Camp Jupiter he found a baby sized camp shirt, and a purple onesie that read "Future camper" in orange lettering. As well as diapers and bottles for a newborn, he felt so lucky to have so many people who cared about him and his baby.

He ran a hand over his stomach, "You're going to be spoiled rotten, you know that? But your mama and I will make sure you will still be a good little boy…or girl. I'm honestly hoping for a boy since it would be weird to name a girl Jason."
