Annabeth PoV

Being pregnant sucked, but was wonderful at the same time. Did that make sense? No it didn't, oh curse her hormones. Poor Percy, she had mood swings almost every five minutes. To tell the truth she had been tired of being fat and not being able to see her own feet, to others she looked smaller to herself she looked like a overinflated balloon, at this moment she was sitting in a comfy recliner in the study of her and Percy's house. She glared angrily at her belly. Then suddenly she felt a soft thud against her stomach and her anger cooled down drastically, and her glare had been replaced by a loving smile.

"Mommy loves you darling." She cooed at her belly.

"Daddy loves you too." Percy said, hugging her from behind.

"Percy. I'm scared." She confided as she put her head in his chest.

"Don't be, you'll be the best mother ever and if it helps, I'll even comb my hair more often." He said smiling at her.

"You goof." She said poking him in the ribs.

"And I love you and I'm sure our little boy will love you just as much."

"Boy eh? How sure are you?"

"Call it a father's instinct."

"I still say it's a girl."

"Well if we'd go to the doctor and find out, we wouldn't have to wonder now would we?"

"Yes, but we're already eight months into this, I can't believe I went to the wedding two months ago looking and feeling like this."

"You were still the most beautiful there."

"Butt kisser."

"Though I preferred to kiss you."

"Oh, shut up Seaweed Brain. It's your fault I'm looking like this."

"Ah, remember wise girl, denial is not just a river in Egypt."

"You would know!"

"I love you!"

"Go jump out the window or something." she said and stood up with difficulty.

"Hey, where are you going?" Percy protested.

"Somewhere." She replied marching to the doors leading to the staircase.

"Aw Annabeth come back please?"

"No." She said and went to hide in the nursery they had readied for their baby.

The whole room painted light brown, the rest of the things in the room were either baige, brown, white or gold. She sat down on a comfy rocking chair.

"Only a few weeks to go."

"Annabeth, don't get up, I'll get it." Piper pushed past her to get Annabeth some tea. If all goes to plan she would be having her baby any time now , Annabeth was at this very moment a very fat, hormonal, nervous pregnant woman. Piper and Percy were constantly at her side, running to get her something if she wanted it. At her now weekly check-ups, the doctor had confirmed that she was having a healthy pregnancy and that everything was going according to plan, she still refused to know the gender of her baby. Percy of course was suddenly going mad trying to learn everything about parenting, he'd even called his mother over five times in the last month. Annabeth's mother and Percy's father had also paid them a visit, though they were a bit bitter at the thought of their children having children with their most bitter rivals. Annabeth had called order on that particular day when Athena and Poseidon had started cursing each other in ancient greek, it had taken a loaf of bread, bagpipes, a crossbow and a goat to get them to break up the fight. Annabeth was all too happy when the fight had ended. Percy was sporting a magnificent shiner that Athena herself had given him, the poor kid, the first time Leo saw him after that he had said "Holy fist!Percy what happened?"

"I got hit by a holy fist."

Since then Leo would mock him, Annabeth never really had the energy to do anything about it, she really spent most of her time reading and sleeping and it drove her mad! She wanted to be out and about, designing new buildings, walking with Percy or something like that. Though recently Piper and Leo had gotten even closer, if that was even possible. The yesterday she had confronted Leo about it,

Start of flashback-

"Leo?" Annabeth said while he was unwillingly rubbing her swollen feet as there was no one else, Piper was filming the last scene of her latest movie and Percy had gone to visit his dad for the day.

"Yeees? Is it time to stop, already? Aw that was so fun!" he said his voice drowning in sarcasm.

"No, I wanted to ask about you and Piper." She said casually.

Leo's smile seemed to brighten just a bit at the thought of her.

"Well, I've noticed you to are really getting along much better and you're living together and all that and I was wondering..."

"Wondering?" He asked, but couldn't mask the smile on his face.

"If you're planning to get married!"

"Maybe."

"No, don't come with me with all that ""We're too young"" cra- wait, what did you say?"

"I said, Maybe, I mean I really want to, but I'm not completely sure if she's ready yet cause-"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Annabeth said pulling him into a fierce hug, without getting her huge belly in the way.

"Hey! Preggers, you're squashing me!"

"Sorry."She said, but she was grinning like a mad woman.

"What do mean by that?"

"Weeeeeeeeell."

"Aw c'mon, spit it out, or I'm not rubbing your feet anymore!"

"How much do you want to know?" she said with a sly grin.

"Depends."

"Will you go get me a strawberry ice cream with peanut butter after I tell you?" Leo made a face, but nodded.

"Well, yesterday when Piper was here she accidentally mentioned she wondered when you were going to ask her to marry you."

"She did? "

"Yes, yes she did."

"Well then, something's gotta be done about that." he said, a twinkle in his eyes.

"Whatever you're planning better be good Valdez."

"Oh, it will be."

End of flashback

So you see, it was a matter of time before a screaming Piper ran into her house flashing a engagement ring.

Aww it's the end of this chapter! Well I'll see if I can write another one tomorrow, since I never update during the week, because I go to boarding school, I'll see how many chapters I can write during the week and post them next Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Oh and Annabeth and Percy will be making turns for the story to be written in their point of views, cause this story is mainly about Piper and Leo.

And thank you so much to all the reviews, it's highly appreciated!
