Thanks to alyssa for the idea for this chapter.. :)
Percy's POV
I was standing in Annabeth's room.. just watching her sleep. She looks so perfect.. beautiful. She's my everything. She was tossing and turning in her sleep.
"Percy.." She mumbled and I wondered if she had heard me but she turned over again.
"Percy." She said again, turning over again. "Percy... Percy."
"Percy.. find them.. save them.." She begged and I rushed to her side, shaking her awake.
Annabeth's POV
"Beth..." Percy mumbled, touching my face. "Are you okay? Wake up."
I slowly stirred and saw him standing over me. "Beth..." He mumbled quietly. "You... were talking." His eyes were full of worry. "About those kids again."
My face turned white. "What did I say?"
"You kept saying my name... then you would say find them..." He looked at me, eyes wide. "Annabeth... what aren't you telling me?"
I closed my eyes, letting out a deep breath. "Percy. This is..." I trailed off, looking away from him.
He took my face in his hands, forcing me to look at him. "Annabeth. Tell me."
"Percy. This is completely insane. When I put 2 and 2 together..." I trailed off.
"I can handle it... believe me." He begged.
"Percy... I'm worried about how you'll react. There's no changing it... the future is set in stone." I mumbled.
"Yeah.. I've learned that." He muttered, looking confused.
"Percy." I said, touching his face. "The kids... their a part of the next Great Prophecy... and Percy...." I looked at him, my eyes wide with terror.
"What Annabeth?" He asked me.
I leaned my forehead against his, staring into his sea green eyes. "Percy. They're our kids. We named them after Charles and Silena... They're the children of the prophecy."
He kissed me. It was out of the blue but perfect. His hands touched my face and I felt my cheeks burn.
"I love you Annabeth." He told me, leaning his forehead against mine again. "What did you think.. What did you think I would do? Why didn't you want to tell me?"
"I thought you would overreact. I thought you might try to change it..." I felt my eyes well up with tears and then his hands wiping them away. "The only way I could think of to change it…"
He kissed me mid sentence. "No.." He muttered, leaning against the wall.
I cuddled up against his chest and he held me.
"Can I ask you something?" He asked me quietly.
"Yeah sure."
"How long have you known?"
"A few weeks.. I was pretty sure.. and then I went to see Rachel."
"Oh.. how come you always know more about the prophecies than I do?"
"I don't know.." I said, laughing.
"It's okay, Wise Girl."
"I'm glad Seaweed Brain.. it's seems like I really can't help it."
