Percy and Annabeth had been living together for about 6 months now and everything in their lives was going great. Annabeth had been headhunted as the CEO and a major architect/lawyer for a huge architecture company in San Francisco that was opening an east coast office.

"Percy, we need to talk." Annabeth said to her boyfriend.

"Those are never good words. What's up?" Percy asked

"Percy, do you remember what happened when we got back from Leo and Calypso's on New Year's?" Annabeth asked

"Yeah, we were drunk and horny, what about it?" Percy asked

"Well it appears we were so drunk that we forgot to use protection and now." Annabeth said, not even finishing her thought.

"You're pregnant aren't you?" Percy asked

"Yes. I'm pregnant." Annabeth said

"How are you feeling?" Percy asked

"Nervous, how do you think our parents will take it?" Annabeth asked

"I'm sure our mortal parents will be fine and even excited about it. Dad really can't talk, since he gets women knocked up all the time without marrying them. It's your mom I'm dreading telling, since she'll probably kill me." Percy said.

Annabeth nodded and said "We don't have to tell her."

"She's going to notice eventually." Percy said.

"Okay, how about this, we IM, my parents, then go tell yours, then we tell your dad, and then with your dad there, we tell my mom." Annabeth said

"Sounds good to me." Percy agreed.


Their mortal parents took the news quite well.

Percy then took a deep breath and said "Fleecy, do me a solid. Connect me with Poseidon in his undersea kingdom."

The rainbow image shimmered and Poseidon appeared in it.

"Percy, what a surprise. Let me guess, you're calling to let me know about the baby." Poseidon said.

"How did you know?" Percy asked

Poseidon chuckled and said "My sister is the one who allows women to conceive. I've know that this was going to happen for a weeks."

"A little heads up would've been nice." Percy said

"Does Athena know that you got her baby girl pregnant?" Poseidon asked

"No, we wanted to wait till after we told you so you could keep Athena from vaporizing me." Percy said with a chuckle.

"I'll be right there." Poseidon said.

Percy wiped his hand through the image and all of a sudden, his father appeared.

"Annabeth, time to let your mom know." Percy said.

Annabeth walked out of the bedroom and took a deep breath.

"Why don't you 2 go wait in the living room?" Annabeth asked

Percy nodded and led his father out into the living room.

Annabeth then took a minute to collect her thoughts and then tossed a drachma into the air and said "Fleecy, do me a solid; connect me with Athena on Mount Olympus."

Immediately, Athena appeared in the rainbow.

"Annabeth, what a pleasant surprise." Athena said to her daughter.

"Mom, can you please come here, I've got something important to tell that I think you'll take better if you're here." Annabeth said

"Of course." Athena said, except now she was in the hall with her daughter.

"Please give me a little heads up before you just appear like that." Annabeth said

"Of course." Athena said as Annabeth led her into the living room.


"What are you doing here?" She asked Poseidon, shocked at seeing her rival here.

"Percy and Annabeth asked me to be here." Poseidon said

"Mom, there's something really important I need to tell you. I'm pregnant." Annabeth said

"WHAT!" Athena shouted standing up and summoning a spear pointed at Percy.

"Athena calm down." Poseidon said to his niece, summoning his trident.

"Please don't destroy our home." Annabeth begged her mother.

"I will not allow this man to go unpunished for taking your innocence." Athena said

"Athena, you act like she's still 7. Annabeth is grown woman who is capable of making her own decisions in life and in love." Poseidon said.

"She is still my baby." Athena said, hoisting the spear over Percy's head. Big mistake.

Percy's battle reflexes kicked into overdrive and within 5 seconds, he kicked Athena's feet out from under her, had riptide out and uncapped and pointed at the goddesses throat.

"Athena, I don't want to fight you, but you know you can't kill me. I've literally faced the mother of all monsters. You don't scare me at all." Percy said.

Athena realized that Percy was right. He may be a demigod, but he was too powerful for even her to defeat.

She shimmered out from under his foot and reappeared standing up next to her daughter.

"Well, I have to admit, I do think you would make a wonderful husband for my Annabeth." Athena said

"We never said we were getting married. Percy and I both agreed that we aren't ready for marriage yet. However, we are going to raise our child as if we were." Annabeth tells her mother.

"But your daughter will be illegimate." Athena said

"Daughter. How did you know we were having a daughter?" Percy asked

"When you told me, I instantly knew it would be a girl. I am a goddess, but anyway, I as I said, your child will be illegitimate." Athena said

Percy looked at the goddess like she was crazy and Annabeth said "By that logic, both Percy and I are illegimate children, since both you and Poseidon didn't marry our mortal parents."

"For the record, if I wasn't already in love and married to Amphitrite and Zeus would've permitted it at the time, I would've married Sally." Poseidon said.

"Why don't we keep that between us." Percy said and his father nodded.

"I suppose this is true, but still, why don't just not have a child till after you decide you are ready to get married?" Athena said

"Mother." Annabeth said, shocked that her mom wanted her to even consider her getting an abortion.

"We're going to have the child whether you like it or not. You can either be happy about it and be a happy grandmother, or you can just be angry about it and not have anything to do with your granddaughter's life." Percy said.

Athena took a deep breath and then said "When are you due?"

Annabeth was shocked by this sudden change in attitude, but then said "8 months, April 27th to be exact." Annabeth said.
