Scenario: After the story. Annabeth and Percy are 25 years old, approximately a year after the wedding. (Epilogue of LTB)

If You Only Knew

"Okay, we have the crib, ornaments, clothes, blankets and toys. Everything is ready, but Percy..." Annabeth made puppy eyes at her husband, a playful smile on her lips. "Can you get me some strawberries?" She asked him.

Percy smiled and nodded at her before walking out of their baby's room. He was used to her cravings now; it's something common if your girlfriend is pregnant of 9 months.

Annabeth kept smiling even if Percy wasn't there anymore. She looked at the room she decorated for her first baby. The walls were a light shade of blue (courtesy of Percy), the floor was white, and there were some toys in a shelve. The crib was a mix of different shades of blue with white, so it fitted perfectly with the walls. It looked beautiful, and Annabeth was proud of her work. She was anxious to put their little boy on his crib.

She looked at her big stomach with love and happiness in her eyes. The baby was about to be born in those days, and she couldn't wait. She knew the baby was a bless for her marriage with Percy. Since her family was a mess and her childhood wasn't the best one, she wanted a permanent family for her child, a lovely childhood for him, and she knew that with Percy she could make it.

She tied up her hair in a messy ponytail, all the time smiling. Every time she thought about her children or Percy, she smiled unconsciously. And it happened a lot in those nine months.

She started walking towards the door, and when she was about to put a hand in the doorknob, she felt a twinge of pain in her stomach. At first, she got scared, but as she thought about it better, she realized it was a contraction. She quickly put a hand over her stomach and patted it, thinking about the possibilities. She recalled a contraction was normal, so she walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen, where Percy was trying to open the strawberries' package.

Annabeth chuckled, and walked up to Percy. She gently took the package of Percy's hand and opened it easily, smiling sweetly at her husband, who looked at her ashamed. Annabeth put the strawberries in a dish and sat in the table. Percy sat down next to her, putting an arm over her shoulders. They started eating together in silence, until Percy spoke.

"Are you okay?" Percy asked her. Annabeth smiled again at him; she loved how much he knew her, he always knew when she was mad, pissed, happy, etc.

"Yep," Annabeth said. But as she knew Percy wasn't pleased with her answer, she added, "Buy y'know, I feel the baby will born these days. I don't know how, I just feel it." She said, putting a strawberry in her mouth.

Percy smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "That means you're gonna be an awesome mother," Percy said. Annabeth looked around the house she designed a year ago. Now they both had stables jobs, they moved to a big house. It was beautiful, and they couldn't be happier with it.

When Annabeth analyzed his words, she started to think and worry about all the things she didn't in those nine months. What if she didn't serve to be a mother? What if their child hated them? Or worse, what if he hated only her? What if Percy decided to break up with her and take her child away? What if everything went wrong? What if she did the wrong things? She bit her lip, looking worried at the strawberries that didn't look so appetizing now.

Percy took a lock of Annabeth's hair and placed it behind her ear. He didn't know if he said something wrong, because Annabeth didn't answered or did something. She just looked at the food, her eyebrows together in confusion. Percy didn't want to worry her, he loved her and wanted her to be happy, especially now that she was about to have a child, their child. He was so happy about it too, he just wanted to have the little boy in his arms and made him sleep, feed him, play with him and try to be the best father for him. He knew how hard was not having a dad there, so he was determined not to fail his son and Annabeth. He just hoped Annabeth wouldn't leave him. He was glad it was a boy, though he would be happy with a girl too.

"Annabeth, what's wrong?" Percy asked, his voice soft.

Annabeth waited a moment before replying. "What if something goes wrong?" she said slowly, her voice cracked and low. She cleared her throat and took a deep breath before speaking again, this time louder. "What if something goes wrong? I mean, what if the child hates me, or I don't serve to be a mother? Because you know I don't have a mother, I don't know how mothers are like. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you and the baby. I'm a mess," she finished, placing her head in Percy's shoulder and closing her eyes.

Percy was shocked. Annabeth felt like that, and he didn't know? What kind of husband was him? He soaked his lips, thinking about Annabeth's words. He had to cheer her up, it was his responsibility. "Annabeth, what are you saying? You will be an amazing mother, I bet all my money on it. Remember when you were the babysitter of my siblings? Well, you did a great job, Polly and Tyson loved you, and they still do. You'll never, ever disappoint me, not matter what you do. If someone is going to mess something up, that's me, not you, 'cause all you do is fine. Did you hear me?" Percy obliged Annabeth to look into his eyes. Annabeth felt her eyes fill with tears, God, she loved him so much.

Annabeth nodded as a tear fell down her face. Percy wiped it away with his thumb, and kissed her in the lips. They transmitted all their love with it. Annabeth felt all her doubts disappearing, as well as Percy.

In the middle of the kiss, Annabeth felt another contraction, stronger this time. She broke the kiss and looked down at her stomach. She frowned, and Percy did the same when he noticed something was wrong.

"What's going on now?" He asked, a little upset. He was really enjoying the kiss.

Annabeth wrinkled her nose. "Contractions." She managed to say, as she felt another one.

Percy, confused and not knowing what to do, just looked at his wife. "Umm… what shall we do? He asked. He didn't like to see Annabeth in pain, so he needed to do something to stop that.

"Pack some baby clothes and mines…" Annabeth said between the contractions. "Let's go to the hospital."

"But…" Percy said, scratching the back of his head. "The last time we went to the hospital was last week, and it was a false alarm."

Annabeth shoot him a death glare. "Just go!" she yelled, and Percy disappeared of the room, running faster than ever. The contractions were becoming insufferable. But for the other side, Percy was right. Last week she thought the baby was coming, and they went to the hospital. But at the end, it was a false alarm. But this time, Annabeth was sure of it. Their baby was coming.

Percy came back, with a bag in his hand with all the clothes. He ran through the house, looking for the car keys. When he found them, he relaxed a lot, because he thought Annabeth was going to kill him. He helped Annabeth walk to the car, and after putting the bag in the backseats, he turned his car on and drove to the hospital as faster as he could.

13 minutes after, and they were talking to their doctor. The man was really good at his job, and he told them the good news. They were finally having the baby.

The nurses carried Annabeth to the maternity ward, Percy following them close as he freaked out secretly. He took several deep breaths as he walked, squeezed his own hands, started to sweat and tried to calm himself down.

'I'm going to be a father. But calm down Perseus, this is important; you need to look confident for Annabeth. It will be all right. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9… yes, keep on counting. Who are you kidding? That only serves to Tinkerbell. DAMN YOU JACKSON, YOU'RE GOING TO BE A FATHER!' Percy thought. He was so nervous; he thought he was going to pee. He looked at Annabeth in the stretcher, and she seemed calmed, like she had the situation under control. Annabeth looked at him and frowned, then she mouthed 'What the heck happened to you?', and in that moment, Percy noticed he surely was looking like a complete idiot.

Annabeth and the nurses finally entered to one maternity ward, and Percy closed the door behind him. Annabeth went to the bathroom to change herself with the help of a nurse while the others prepared the room and called to a doctor. And him? Well, he was just standing there like a stupid father-to-be. Annabeth appeared in some nightgown, and she lay down in the bed.

Percy walked up to her. He smiled at her, not knowing what to say, so he came up with the first thing he thought. "Hey, it wasn't a false alarm after all," He slapped himself for such a stupid phrase, and Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"I love you too," Annabeth said sarcastically. She was really nervous too, but she didn't say stupid things. "Can you call our family? I think they'll like to be here." Annabeth said, in the same moment as the doctor came in. The man started to prepare all; saying things to Annabeth about what she had to do. Percy didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay there and be there for the big moment.

"Percy, are you leaving or are you staying?" Annabeth asked him, her grey eyes shining.

"I'm staying," Percy said confidently. The doctor nodded at them, smiling. Percy sent a text to Polly saying they had to come to the hospital, because the baby was about to be born. Then, he sent one to Bobby, Annabeth's half-brother. He was sure his family was going to kill him for saying such an important thing in a text, but he couldn't call them inside that room.

When everything was ready, Annabeth took hold of his hand too tight, and she started to bid up. The doctor was ready to catch the baby, and Percy thought his wife was going to break his hand. Who would say Annabeth was so strong?

Minutes after, both Percy and Annabeth could hear their baby's cry. The doctor showed the baby quickly to them before handing the little kid to the nurses to clean him and dress him up.

The only thing Annabeth could see was the eyes. They were green, beautiful. She was so happy, and relaxed. A mix of emotions grew inside her. She dropped Percy's hand, letting him breath.

Percy patted his own hand, happy because Annabeth let it go and because the baby was born. He felt how everything was perfect, how the world was right. He looked at Annabeth, and they locked eyes. They knew it was the beginning of their family, of a new state in their lifes.

The nurses came back with the baby in arms, now cleaned and with a little white T-shirt and some blue pants, along with white wool socks that Sally made for him. The nurse handed him to Percy, who received him with arms wide open. Annabeth smiled at the view of Percy with the baby in his hands, she knew he was going to be an excellent father. Percy crouched down so Annabeth could see the baby's face, and he gave Annabeth the baby.

He had some locks of black hair in the middle of his head. His eyes, looking in them well, his eyes were sea green, mixed with a little of grey. The baby wasn't crying anymore, he was only sobbing. His cheeks were red, and he was sucking his thumb. He was so incredible cute. The baby locked eyes with Annabeth some moments, and she felt she wanted to cry. She was a mother now, aa real one. She had a baby, a son, and she had to take care of him until he turned 18. But she wanted to take care of him until she died.

The baby then locked eyes with Percy. He felt the baby was the cutest thing on the world, and he was extremely glad he was his son. He was a father, and as the baby looked at him with those big eyes filled with curiosity, just as Annabeth, he sweared he would neved be like his father.

"So, what's his name?" Annabeth asked suddenly. They discused the baby's name for months, but they never agreed on one. And there they were, with their anonymous son. "I like Dylan, y'know, it fits him," Annabeth prosposed, smiling sweetly at the baby.

Percy looked at his son's face again. Annabeth was right, Dylan actually fitted him. "Yeah, Dylan Jackson. I like that," Percy grinned. Both of the recently parents smiled and looked at their kid. A perfect view of a permanent and happy family.

Just in that moment, Sally, Paul, Polly, Tyson, Frederick, Susan, Bobby and Matthew entered the room, all with eyes wide open. When they saw the new little family, they all smiled with happiness, except Susan (Annabeth's evil step-mom). Sally started to cry of the emotion, she was a grandmother!

Percy stood up and said hello to them, as well as Annabeth. The two families said hello too, but their eyes were fixed on the little creature. Annabeth smiled shyly at them, and holding the baby in her arms, she said, "Hey, meet Dylan!"

Sally was the first one out of shock, and she, wiping her tears away, walked over and asked Annabeth if she could hold the baby. Annabeth laughed and handed Dylan to his grandmother. Sally took the baby, and smiled so wide when the baby looked at her. The baby grabbed Sally's finger, and Sally kissed Dylan's hand.

One by one, all the present (except Susan,because Annabeth wanted it that way) held the baby. All of them came to love the baby easily. After some hours, Percy and Annabeth's friend came to the hospital to meet the new baby. Thalia, Nico, Jason, Piper, Leo, Lou, Silena, Beckendorf, Katie, Travis, Connor, Rachel and Luke, Grover and Juniper, even Bianca came to the event.

And as Annabeth breastfed her son, she smiled. Because as she said before, it was the beginning of something beautiful.
