Annabeth's POV

I smiled as I saw the beautiful wedding ring on my finger, we had gotten married three months ago, but he had to go do some big assignment in San Francisco afterwards. So it's been two months today.

I looked in the mirror again and saw the small bump again. I had been meaning to tell Percy about the pregnancy a little while after he left, but something stopped me. One, if I told him he might have bailed on his project and come home. Two, he might not want a kid at all.

We had never discussed it, never thought about it. But he is coming home in a couple hours and I won't have to say anything for him to find out soon enough. I sighed, pulling my shirt on and walked back to the couch. I started reading my book but found myself drifting off to sleep having missed some hours of sleep due to work.

"Annabeth?" I heard that soft, deep familiar voice say. I opened my eyes and saw Percy kneeling next to the couch. "Hello Percy." I said, groggily. I sat up and kissed him. "I missed you so much." He said against my lips.

I smiled and pulled away. "Me too." He slid his hand down my arm to my hand and then rested his hands on my waist. I got nervous, hoping he wouldn't notice the little bump. "You don't know much I missed having you around." He said. He stood up and pulled me up with him.

"I guess I'll have to make it up to you." I said, smirking at him. He smirked and pulled me to his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Yes you will." He said. He picked me up bridal style, making me laugh, and carried me to the bedroom.

I had my back against the wall and him kissing me. It felt so amazing. We somehow got to me sitting in his lap on the bed. He kissed me again, his hands on my thighs. He rubbed his hands up and down my thighs as he leaned forward, so I could lie on my back.

He smiled down at me and was about to kiss me again but I put my hand on his chest. "Wait." I said. He frowned and said, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?" I but my lip. "I do." I said. "Then what's wrong?" He asked, and kissed my jawline again. "Um," I tried thinking straight.

"Percy, listen to me." I said, pulling away from him and sitting up. He sat up as well, looking really confused. I groaned and but my lip again. I squeezed my eyes shut and said, "Percy, I'm pregnant."

I opened my eyes and his expression was blank. He tried saying something but no words came out. "We never talked about having kids." I said. "Since when? How long have you been pregnant?" He asked. "I found out a little bit after you left." I said, sighing.

He furrowed his eyebrows. "And you didn't tell?" He asked. "Percy, I-" I started but he interrupted. "This is one of the most important things in a marriage. We've been married nearly three months and it didn't come up?" He asked. I groaned inwardly. "Don't be mad. It's just." I tried thinking of the words again but lost them a little.

"Okay, I knew that if I told you you would have bailed on your project to come home. Also, I didn't know if you even wanted kids." I explained. He nodded, biting his lip. "Do you?" I asked, nervously.

He was quiet for a moment than smiled widely. "I want a child, our child. Yes, I really do." I smiled widely and laughed a bit with relief. He kissed me again and said against my lips, "Were gonna be parents." We both laughed and went off to go tell my parents. They were really excited, and Helen kept saying how she would be a grandmother.

We decided to surprise Percy's parents by going over there tomorrow. We lay in bed, him with his hand on my stomach. I rolled my eyes and said, "Do you really have to do that?" He chuckled and nodded. I left him and went to sleep.

~ The next day ~

We walked, with our fingers laced, to the porch. The three of them stood up and Sally said, "Percy, Annabeth! How great to see you." I gave them all a hug and we sat down. "Seems like just yesterday you got married." Salish said, smiling, we all chuckled and Paul asked, "How was your project?"

"It was good, went very well. But we're not here to talk about me." Percy said, giving my hand a little squeeze. "Than what are you here for?" Mark asked. I looked at Percy and he said, "Annabeth's pregnant." Sally squealed and Paul and Mark slapped Percy on the back.

"Since when?" Sally asked. Percy looked at me. "Two months. And before you say anything, Percy had been away and I didn't know if he even wanted a child because we hadn't discussed it. So when he got home, I told him and we decided to keep it."

They all congratulated us and they opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate, we opening a fresh box of fruit juice. We gave a toast and then all chatted for a while before we left again. We called up the doctor, and scheduled an ultrasound for a couple days later.

I had already had the first one, this would be my second. We went home again, and Percy made breakfast. I had a couple bites and then found myself running to the bathroom.

I wiped my mouth and walked out the bathroom to see a very nervous a Percy. "Are you okay?" He asked, helping me sit down. I raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Don't worry, just morning sickness." He nodded and asked, "You still want breakfast?"

I managed to hold a bit of breakfast down. We didn't do much that day, just lay around and relaxed. Percy was reading up on what to expect the next couple months. I was so happy we were having this baby.

And it was our first child, me at age twenty five and him at age twenty nine. And we couldn't be happier.
