I am enjoying writing this story so far, and believe I might write a sequel when done with this one. This fanfic is going to be many, many chapters. My updates at times may be delayed because I have a lot of school work and such. Enjoy!

(About three months later. Percy's p.o.v.)

I was lying beside Annabeth on the bed, my head resting on her chest. Her fingers were playing with my hair, and I had her shirt lifted up over her baby bump. It wasn't very big but I'd already grown to love the baby inside. I ran my fingers lightly over her baby bump and smiled slightly.

"The baby's moving," Annabeth says, placing my hand where the baby was now resting. You could see a small bump where the baby was. My small smiled stretched into a full on grin.

Annabeth smiled softly, her eyes watching my every move. I sat up, now resting on my elbow. I looked at her and put my finger under her chin, bringing her soft lips to mine. I pulled back and looked at her my eyes soft.

"You are going to be the best mother this world has ever seen," I said with a smile, resting a hand on the bump once again.

"You're going to be better than me," She said tapping my nose lightly with her finger. "You already talk to the baby and am stuck to me whenever you aren't working. This baby is in love with you. I'm absolutely sure of it."

"It's inside of you though," I say resting my cheek lightly down onto her bump. I close my eyes, feeling her fingers rub my head.

It'd been a really stressful day at work, and I loved just lying with Annabeth after I got home.

"Alright time to eat," Annabeth said pushing me up, and I obeyed reluctantly. I rubbed my messy hair, making my way into the kitchen and pulling out ingredients for spaghetti. I put the pot of water on the stove waiting for it to boil, meanwhile making the sauce.

After I finished I made two plates and brought them out to the couch. I gave one to Annabeth and she ate slowly, her eyes mostly on the t.v. I tried to pay attention to what was playing on the History Channel and I couldn't. My eyes wandered back to Annabeth's face. She looked at me, her food now gone and smiled a bit. She stood up, walking by me into the kitchen. My eyes followed her until her figure was no longer visible to my eyes. I resumed eating my food, watching the t.v. as best as I could. My face lit up a little when Annabeth walked in. I set my empty plate on the coffee table and Annabeth climbed into my lap. We heard a thudding noise upstairs, and Thalia came down, in sweat pants, a tank top and her hair wasn't spiked and it was ratty. Her electric blue eyes were still heavy with sleep, and she scratched her hair.

"Thalia it's 5 o' clock," Annabeth said with a laugh.

"I smell food, I get up," She murmured getting a plateful of spaghetti.

"How long are you staying?" Annabeth asks, her face amused.

"As long as you guys want me to. Artemis isn't strict about my break time unless there's a hunt," She said flopping on the couch next to us with a huge plate of spaghetti.

"In that case get out," I said with a teasing tone.

"I'll beat you up," she mumbled over her food.

Annabeth laughed and snuggled closer to my chest. I wrapped my arms around her, lying back against the couch. Annabeth turned her attention back to the t.v. and Thalia to her food. Thalia finished and put her dishes in the sink, then made her way back up the stairs. I kissed Annabeth's cheek and she got up, going upstairs to shower. I followed behind her, but sat at the desk instead pulling out papers. I heard the shower start to run, and I rubbed my temples. I was stressed out between work, baby preparations, and Annabeth. Work and the baby stuff are just stressful and Annabeth has no control over her hormones, but I still don't enjoy the mood swings. I start to grade papers and I feel my eyes start to droop, heavy with sleep.

(Annabeth's p.o.v.)

I put my hair up into a towel, walking out in yoga pants and a tank top. I see Percy asleep at his desk, drooling on the papers he probably had been grading. I look at the clock, finding it's only 7:37 and I sigh, knowing how exhausted he must be. I put my hands on both of his shoulders and shake him.

"C'mon bedtime," I say pulling him up.

He groans a bit and I put him on the bed. He falls asleep almost instantly and I cover him up, even though he was still in his work clothes. I walked out to Thalia's room and saw her glued to the X-box. She had a headset on as she played Call Of Duty: Black Ops II. She was shouting at somebody on her headset and I laughed softly. I made my way downstairs, and looked around. I sighed and grabbed a box of stuff we had cleared from the baby's room. I put it outside in the hallway. I rub my eyes, and sit on the couch, turning the t.v. on. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment and I get to find out the gender of the baby. It's the weekend so Percy can go, and Thalia might too. I sigh again and throw my hair up into a bun. I soon fall asleep, lying back against the couch.
