Chapter 2
Athena screamed. Actually screamed. Fredrick yelled for the doctor. Apollo came bounding into the room with two nurses behind him. Percy watched terrified as the doctor's surrounded Annabeth. "She's lost too much blood," one of the nurses muttered. "Get her to surgery!"
They begin to wheel her bed away. Soon they arrived in another room.
"We need to do a blood transfusion."
"What type of blood?!"
"Check her file!"
"Type A- blood, sir."
"Do we have any donors of A- blood?"
One of the nurses run out of the room. "No," the nurse comes back into the room. "I'm sorry."
Apollo turns to me, "I'm sorry, Percy. Really. But Annabeth has lost too much blood, and—she's…dead."
Percy feels his eyes water. Everyone looked devastated. Athena looks the worst of all. "This," she whispers, "is all your fault!" She pointed to Percy. "If you hadn't had knocked up our precious daughter none of this would've ever happened. You killed our daughter!" Athena screamed. "I wish she had never met you! She had a bright future ahead of her and first that was ruined by you meeting her. Then your demon child! Now she's dead! Annabeth is dead and it's all your fault. You…you killed Annabeth." Athena bursts into tears as Fredrick holds her.
Percy was shocked. Was she right? Did he kill Annabeth?
"Hey," Thalia yelled stepping in front of her cousin. "This isn't Percy's fault. It was an accident. And Olivia didn't ask to be born so don't you dare put any of the blame on her either. Nobody asked for Annabeth to be dead. Nobody asked for any of this. Be happy for Olivia and don't let her grow up thinking that she killed her mother or was a demon child."
"Yeah," Nico added. "Calling your first and only grandchild a demon is pretty low, even for you."
"Get out of here!" Athena snapped. "I never want to see you or that stupid baby ever again! She's no grandchild of mine."
"There's nothing you can do for Olivia not to be your granddaughter!" Bianca yelled.
Athena lowered her voice. "That child's birthdate is my daughter's death date. You need to learn that that's not a good thing. Now go!"
Athena grabbed Annabeth's hand and threw something at Percy. It crashed onto the ground.
Percy glanced at Annabeth for what will probably be the last time before running out of the room. His four cousins followed him out of the room—but not before Bianca snatched the item off the ground. Jason quickly snapped the video camera closed. Percy quickly walked down the hall looking into every room. Nico grabbed his shoulder, stopping him.
"Percy, stop."
"Don't listen to her," Bianca said.
Thalia nodded. "For the name Athena, she sure is stupid."
"Hey, guys!" A voice down the hall yelled. Percy turned around. It was Piper, Jason's girlfriend. With her was Hazel, Nico and Bianca's half-sister, and Hazel's boyfriend Frank. Leo walked behind them. Piper greeted Jason with a kiss.
Hazel surveyed the scene, "What's the matter?"
Bianca gave a quick recap of what just happened. "And then, Athena threw this at Percy." Bianca dug into her jacket pocket and produced a beautiful diamond ring.
Piper made a strangled sound. "The ring?"
Frank gaped, "And she called Olivia stupid and a demon? Some grandmother."
"Don't forget," Thalia added, "She's no grandchild of mine."
"What now?" Hazel asked.
"Well, Annabeth is dead so I'm taking Olivia and we're leaving," Percy said. He proceeded to walk down the hallways.
Behind him Leo muttered to Jason, "He seems to be taking her death well."
Thalia pushed her way in between them, "Please, he's going to go home and drown in his tears."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Athena let out another disgruntled cry, "And she had so much ahead of her, Fredrick."
"Mmhmm," he murmured, patting her back as she cried into his chest.
"Mom," Bobby, Annabeth's brother tugged on her blouse. "Is Annabeth…dead?"
Matthew looked up at his mother.
"She's…" Athena trailed off.
"What?" Matthew asked. "She's what?!"
Athena harshly shushed him. "Do you hear that?" And they did. The faint beeping of a heart monitor. Annabeth was alive. After calling for the doctor Apollo came back.
"Miraculous," he whispered after a few minutes. "She's alive, alright. She did slip into a coma but I'm sure she'll wake in a few weeks. I doubt she'll remember a thing about being pregnant though. After that big fight, you should probably tell Percy." Apollo smiled before leaving the room.
Athena looked at her husband with wide eyes.
"I think we should tell him," he said.
"Should we? I don't know." Athena replied. "Think about it. If we don't tell him he'll think she's dead and take that baby."
"Olivia Ariadne," Fredrick said.
"Whatever. I just don't think we should tell him, Fredrick."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Percy finally found Olivia. He knew she had to stay longer but he just wanted to go home. The original plan was to buy an apartment but now that Annabeth was dead that was over. He would take Olivia to his home with his mom. That's where all the baby stuff was anyways. After a very persuasive speech on why he needed to leave throwing in several 'the customer is always right's, he finally did. His group of friends followed him out to his car where he placed Olivia in the pink car seat they had purchased earlier. Of course they had known the gender before hand—Annabeth wanted to be organized.
"So Perce, we'll see you at Sally's?" Thalia asked. It was pretty dark outside, just about eleven.
Percy shrugged. He didn't care.
"Okay, we'll just follow you, okay?"
Percy shrugged again. Thalia, Jason, Nico and Bianca got into one car and Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank in another.
Minutes later, Percy was driving down the highway. He could see the other two cars in the rear view mirror following him. Percy looked behind him at Olivia who was wide awake. He smiled at her.
"Don't listen to your grandmother, she doesn't know what she's talking a—"
Percy was cut off by honking. Headlights blinded his view as he swerved to get away. His car swerved off the road and flipped once into the dirt. The air bag sprung to life suffocating Percy for a minute. The car spun around as Percy tried to gain control. The right side of the car curled around tree. Finally, it stopped. He ignored the pounding of his head and the trickle he felt on his forehead and glanced back at Olivia. She was crying but looked unharmed. Percy tried to take deep breaths but found it hard to breathe. He rested his head back, and closed his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thalia drove carefully behind Percy. "I'm worried about him," Bianca said from the passenger's side.
"He'll get over her death," Nico reassured.
Thalia took a turn. "I don't think so." She watched Percy's car carefully. "He's just going to look at Olivia and be reminded of her death all over again. Did you see Olivia's eyes?"
"Yeah," Jason said. They were like Annabeth's eyes but had swirls of green."
Nico shrugged. "I guess—"
"Wait," Thalia said as she stared out the windshield. All of their attention went to there. Someone honked loudly as their car nearly collided with Percy's. Thalia stomped on the breaks. Percy swerved off the road and onto the side, flipping on its side once before turning over and over again. It finally stopped. Thalia glanced to her right.
Bianca was crying. "Oh my goodness! Percy could be dead…Olivia could be orphaned, and—"
"Shut up, Bianca!" Nico yelled as he jumped out of the car. All four of them ran towards Percy's car.
Thalia glanced at the car. All she could hear was the loud screeching of a baby.
"B-Bianca," Thalia stammered. "Call 911."
Bianca nodded as they ventured forward. The windshield was shredded. Thalia opened the driver's door. Percy's eyes were closed. His forehead had a small nick but his cheek had a wide open gash. Nico and Jason were working on getting him out of the car. Thalia opened the backdoor where Olivia was still crying loudly. Percy had seated her right behind him. She looked shaken up but virtually unharmed. Thalia carefully unbuckled her and lifted her out of the car seat. She was still screaming as tears rolled down her cheeks. Thalia held her close to her chest and tried to soothe her. She saw Piper and Hazel come up to her.
"Aww," Piper said actually getting a good look at her for the first time. She picked her out of Thalia's arms and whispered things to her as she rocked her. Olivia slowly stopped crying.
Bianca also came over. "I also called Sally and our dad's."
They could finally hear sirens in the distance.
"Our dad's?" Thalia exclaimed.
"Yeah. That's Percy's father and uncles. I think they deserve to know."
Thalia shrugged as a police officer approached them. "Hello, I'm Officer Clarisse. I'm going to ask you a few questions." The girls nodded. "How many were involved in the accident?"
"Um," Thalia looked at Olivia. "Just two."
"Who?"
"Um, Percy, over there," Hazel answered pointing to Percy getting strapped into a gurney. "And Olivia." She gestured to Piper's arms.
"That baby was in the accident?"
Bianca nodded, "Yes."
"Yeesh, how old is the kid?"
"Eh, about two hours."
Clarisse was shocked. "Well, it's a requirement that she goes to the hospital."
Clarisse then forced them to take the baby to the ambulance with Percy and she was whisked away by paramedics. The rest of them followed the ambulance to hospital—the same hospital they were at just hours before.
Hey guys, I'm back! I know it's actually been 8 days, so I apologize for that. Big thank you to lyne, guest, and percabethbooklion for being my first reviewers! I'd also like to thank Giselleypop, M.S. night, cam70300 and percabethbooklion again for following. Thank you and M.S. night for making this a favourite. And thank you to everyone who gave this a view! You're all amazing.
So, cool fact: The idea for this story came to me in a dream. A lot of my ideas actually do. So I simply took that dream, detailed it, put into words and made it Percabeth. Also, there is some background on Olivia. Did you know that Olivia used to be an Oliver? That's right, Olivia was originally a baby boy. Instead of being called Olivia Ariadne Jackson he was Oliver Ajax Jackson. I wrote the first couple of chapters with the baby a he. This was because I was thinking of the movie The Pursuit of Happyness and how it was a little boy and his dad. But I changed it because I wanted to put her into girl dominated sports. Anyways, thank you so much for reading. We didn't get our review goo last time so I'm going to make it 8 reviews. So remember, I update in seven days. If we reach our review goal of 8, next chapter in 3 days! Thanks for reading guys. Don't forget to give this story a follow or favourite.
Xoxo
