GO FORWARD AND BE EATEN.

GO BACK AND REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

NOT MUCH OF A CHOICE, IS IT?

ThankyouThankyouThankyou! Your guys's reviews totally made my week! And ahh, thank you for explaining.

I've always felt that, while Annabeth is the calm and rational one, she's still more likley to get more freaked out about this than Percy. He's a very family guy.

I opened the front door, stepped inside and flipped the switch to turn on the light. The first thing I saw was Annabeth kneeling in the entryway with her arms wrapped around her torso.

"Annabeth! What's wrong? Are you hurt?" I cried, kneeling next to her and gripping her shoulders.

Her eyes were glazed, but the sound of my voice seemed to pull her out her shock.

"Percy?" she whispered in a hoarse voice.

"I'm here," I promised, "Annabeth, tell me what's wrong."

"I was throwing up earlier, so I went to the hospital."

I looked at her confused.

"So you're sick?"

She shook her head and tears sparkled in her eyes.

"No, worse. I'm pregnant."

"Uh, okay," was my intelligent response.

Then my reason caught up with me.

"Wait, why is that worse? That's much, much better."

She shook her head.

"No it's not. I can't do that. I can't be a mom. I don't know how to take care of someone like that. I don't know how to be patient and caring all the time. What if the baby gets hurt or killed because of me? What if we die and there is no one left to take care of it? We're Demigods Percy. I can't be sure that won't happen. I don't know anything about kids. What if it ends up hating me? I can't do that. I couldn't stand that. I can-"

I pulled her to my chest, muffling her voice. Her fists clenched in my shirt.

"Shhh. It's not going to be like that." I said stroking her hair, "Of course you'll be fine. And it's not like we won't have any help. My mom, Paul, Chiron, all our friends are going to be there. If we do die, they'll take care of it. But we are not going to die and the baby will love you. We'll be all right and so will it. Besides, considering how it will grow up, it'll probably be able to kill any monster before it can talk. And we'll help it. Together."

Annabeth thought about that for a minute.

Then I said quietly, "I want you to have the baby, Wisegirl."

"Yeah," she murmured. Then she kissed me.

"Yeah."

I know these are getting shorter, but there are so many idea's . . . The mark of athena will be very long, but that won't be for a while.

Here is another question. If Leo catches fire whenever he gets excited, what's going to happen when a girl finally likes him? Should I do one about that with Reyna?

Normally I don't update this much, so I feel like I am luring you into a false sense of security. Sorry.
