Annabeth was currently 9 months into her pregnancy and due any day now. She was on her maternity leave and her doctor had placed her on strict bed rest until the baby was born, especially since her doctor had told her that this one would be a son.

Both she and Percy were incredibly excited to become parents again. Carly was super excited to become a big sister. Percy had already set up one of the other rooms near his and Annabeth's for their unborn son.

"He'll be here any day now." Annabeth said as her husband felt the baby kick.

"I can't wait. I wish he would just hurry up and get here." Percy said

As if the baby heard him, Annabeth could feel her water break.

"You and your big mouth." She said.

Percy immediately knew that meant that her water broke and she was in labor and wasted no time in calling the hospital.

As Annabeth rode in the ambulance, Percy drove right behind it with Carly fast asleep in the back seat.

When they arrived at the hospital, Percy signed in and then called his mom, who agreed to arrive immediately.

After she and Paul arrived, Percy gave Carly to her and got a nurse to lead him to his wife's room.

When they arrived, Annabeth was lying in a hospital bed wearing a hospital gown and a bracelet on her wrist. Her usually neat, smooth golden princess blonde hair was in a tangled mess and her beautiful tan skin was coated in sweat.

"Annabeth." Percy said, walking up to his wife.

"Percy." Annabeth panted as she exited another contraction.

"Annabeth, I'm so sorry you have to go through all this because of me." Percy said

"It's not your fault, I wanted this. Besides, right now, I don't care whose fault it is. Just hold my hand." Annabeth said, holding out her hand out to her husband, who took it without a single hesitation.

"Alright Mrs. Jackson, here comes another one." The doctor said

Annabeth screamed and squeezed Percy's hand so hard that when the contraction was over, he asked the doctor "Is there any chance I can get my hand x-rayed after the birth."

The doctor chuckled and nodded as Annabeth entered another contraction and Percy was pretty sure that on this one, she had broken his hand.

After about 12 hours, 35 more contractions, a lot of screaming and Annabeth breaking Percy's other hand, she was ready to push.

Luckily, Percy had managed to dip his hands in some water and heal them before the delivery.

"Alright Annabeth, on this next one I want you to push." The doctor told her.

Annabeth nodded and when the contraction hit, she began to push with all her might.

"Come on." Percy said since he couldn't bear to see his wife in such pain.

"I see the head." The doctor said.

Once their son's head and shoulders came out, the rest of his body quickly followed.

"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, you have a beautiful newborn baby boy." The doctor said wrapping the boy up in a blue blanket.

"I'm so glad it's over." Annabeth said as the doctor handed Percy their son.

"Let's give the new parents some time alone shall we." The doctor said

"Actually, can you send our daughter in." Percy said and the doctor nodded as they left.

"What should we name him?" Annabeth asked as Percy placed their son in her arms.

"I was thinking Luke." Percy said

"I was thinking more Iapetus or Damasen." Annabeth said

"Hey, Carly has 3 names, why don't we do the same for our son." Percy said

"Okay, you can pick the order." Annabeth said.

Percy nodded and looked at his son before saying "His name will be Lucas Iapetus Damasen Jackson."

Annabeth smiled and said "That's the perfect name for our perfect boy."

Just then, the door opened and Sally, Paul and Carly all entered the room.

"Is that my little brother?" Carly asked

"It sure is. Do you want to hold him." Annabeth asked her oldest daughter.

Carly nodded quickly, so Percy sat her down in a comfy chair and put Luke down in his big sister's lap.

"Besides the hair, he looks just like his daddy did when he was born." Sally said, since Luke had blonde hair, but otherwise looked like Percy.

"What's his name?" Paul asked

"Lucas." Annabeth said.

"Really, you agreed on that?" Sally asked

"It was my idea." Percy said, leaving it at that.

Carly smiled down at her baby brother, who opened his apparently stormy grey with specks of sea green, eyes and smiled up at her.

"He smiled at me." Carly said happily.

"He already loves his big sister. And you're going to make an awesome one." Percy said.
