Yay! Willow and Charlie are officially here! So, obviously, they had to stay at the hospital for a while, let's say a month. Do you wanna just skip over that? I think I will, because it's kinda depressing. Let's get to the Percabeth fluff!
Annabeth's Pov:
Ugh. It's been a month since Willow and Charlie came home, and Percy and I have gotten probably about 1 hour of sleep per night. It is unbelievably tiring. Oh well, it's all worth it. I get out of bed for the third time this night, because Willow's started crying 15 minutes every time after she falls asleep.
As I lift her up out of the crib, I look at her face. Her eyes seem really unfocused, and when I softly call out her name so I don't wake up Percy, she looks to the right of my face. Usually she has really sharp senses. That's...that's weird. What's going on? She was a preemie. Preemies usually have a lot of health problems. I mean, she and Charlie stayed in the hospital for a month, but Sylvia said that they should be fine!
What...what's happening with Willow? I snap my fingers lightly, and she turns her head towards the sound. Good. She can hear fine. I gently wave my hand in front of her face, but she doesn't blink or anything. What the? Alright, I'm calling Sylvia.
I walk into the living room and sit down in a comfy chair. I bounce Willow up and down, and I dial the number I have for Sylvia.
She picks up on the third ring. "Hi, Sylvia? It's Annabeth."
She yawns and says, "Hey Annabeth, what's up?"
"Well, I think something might be wrong with Willow. Her eyes seem kind of unfocused, but she seems fine otherwise."
"Huh. Okay, well don't panic. I have an idea of what could be wrong, but bring her down to the hospital. I'll meet you down there at the front entrance in 10 minutes," she says.
"Okay, see you down there. Bye Sylvia."
"Bye Annabeth."
I press the button to hang up, and I go back to my room and get dressed. I put Willow in the crib momentarily. Percy snorts and then wakes up, blinks at me, and says groggily, "Hey, where're you going Annabeth?"
"I'm gonna go to Sylvia, I think something's up with Willow."
He starts getting up and says, "Oh, here, I'll come with."
"No no, it's okay, you need to get some sleep."
"But-"
"No Percy. You've sacrificed your sleep for the past few days to stay up with the twins. You have to stay healthy."
"Ugh. Fine. I'll make sure Charlie's alright while you're gone."
"'Kay, good."
He falls back onto the bed and falls asleep immediately. I laugh a little, and pick Willow back up. I put her in a cute fluffy pink outfit and close the bedroom door behind me when I leave.
Eh. Short chappie with a cliffy. Bad combo, huh? Well, you can blame my mom, she's making me go to bed now, so I gtg. See ya soon!
