ahhhhhh my exams are over...getting quite cold down here, which i like a lot tbh.

i hope you like this, Annabeth in various states of looking for a baby and she gets a little crazy, i dont like to make her cry a lot but she just needs to sometimes you know?

So no nico in this one, I had the other half written when this one got to my head and I had to, i think some parts are so cute. So next one I promise, also the one that's really M about teenaged percabeth its coming.

"I will not get disappointed. It's just a test" She muttered to herself over and over as she waited impatiently sitting on the close toilet for the three minutes the pregnancy test took to analyze her pee.

Her legs bounced nervously and she bit down on her lip. The wait was killing her.

It wasn't the first she had done, of course, but this time she was really hopeful.

It had only been about three months since she and Percy had started looking for a baby but she thought she should be pregnant by now.

She turned the test around when the time was up and squeezed it in her hand when she saw the result. It was a good thing Percy wasn't here. She knew what he was going to say anyway: "it's no biggie Wise Girl. Next time it is" and then make a joke about how much sex they still had to do.

Annabeth cursed but then shook her head as if to clear it and shrugged, well next time it is.

"It's completely ridiculous" She said to him while they walked out of the hospital.

"I don't know, maybe he's right. He's the specialist after all" He replied and grabbed her hand.

"Seriously? He wants me to get a puppy!"

"Maybe he thinks we need a puppy"

"Yes, dogs are great and all but what does that have to do with getting pregnant" Percy laughed

"I don't know"

Annabeth wasn't sure if she found it funny. But Percy didn't think it was a bad idea at all, maybe she did need a puppy. Puppies and babies weren't that different after all, and she would get pregnant eventually; the puppy was to help her take her mind off things.

She saw right through him, "Don't tell me I need a dog Perseus." He looked at her and shrugged. They casually passed by a vet with a window full of happy puppies.

"Don't you like that one?" He pointed to a little cute brown fluffy dog

"No" She replied. "I don't want a dog, and I swear to all the gods if you ever come home with a pet I'm kicking you both out" there goes his idea of getting her one as a present. "Besides, we have a dog"

"I don't know how Mrs O'Leary qualifies as a puppy, she's the size of a bus...and she's at camp. I think he was suggesting more like a poodle or something"

"Maybe we should see another doctor" She said ignoring his last comment.

"What about the pillow thing?" He asked. The doctor had mentioned that as well after reassuring her there was absolutely nothing wrong with her.

"It's ridiculous. Do you really think I will get pregnant staying an hour lying down with a pillow lifting my butt?"

A couple of hours later...

"I can't believe I'm doing this. It's stupid"

"Should we get another pillow there?" He asked a little amused.

"I already have two" It wasn't a very comfortable position but Percy had said they should tried it if it had worked for other people so after they had sex, she stayed down on the bed with two pillows lifting her butt up.

"Maybe it helps, because of gravity or whatever. Don't you want to try it just in case?"

"I'm doing it!" She crossed her arms.

"Well, you won't get pregnant with that attitude!"

"Your comments are so helpful, thank you! Also, shut up"

"Okay, I'm going to watch TV. See you at dinner"

"What am I supposed to do for an hour?"

"Read or something" He dismissed it waving his hand

"Percy! Come back" He turned and she smiled sheepishly. "Will you wait the hour with me? Please?"

"All right" He couldn't help but smile back. He lay down beside her and started touching her hair.

"I think we should go to another doctor, just in case"

"If you want to" He replied an managed to keep his tone neutral but rolling his eyes gave him away "We haven't been trying for too long, you know. You have to give it time"

"Six months isn't long enough for you?" He didn't say anything. She started thinking about this pillow thing, if it worked she was going to kiss the old man in the face.

When she spoke again after a good fifteen minutes Percy didn't replied and so she looked over at him, he was drooling on the duvet with his hand still in her hair.

"Percy! Now" Annabeth got out of the bathroom excited

"Wut?" He asked with his mouth full of sandwich.

"Come on!" Annabeth was waving the stick in her hand

"But..." He was working and he was having a snack, he didn't want to have sex right now.

He seriously hated those ovulation kits. They were supposed to predict the most fertile moment of the circle or something and Annabeth had been doing them for a couple of months.

"What? You don't want to?" She asked in disbelief and put her hands in her hips ready to snap at him

"Well..." Annabeth laughed mockingly. "I have to finish this, it's for tomorrow"

"Come on, I'll help you later" She insisted and walked towards him, sat on his lap straddling him with a mischievous smile. She started kissing him, tugging on his bottom lip, Percy sighed.

"I can't," he protested talking about his paper work

"Well Kelp Head you're not eighteen anymore, give it a minute or two" She said and he rolled his eyes, she opened the buttons of his shirt and then slid her hand down "I'm sure I can make it work alright" her fingertips lingered on his happy trail, Annabeth found that little trail of dark hair so sexy about him. Her hot breath made his lips tingle, he rubbed his neck suddenly sweating, and she laughed and kissed him, then got up and went into their room.

Percy followed her, defeated.

"Holy fuckin' Her-!" Annabeth stopped with a cursed in her tongue. Those were her favorite flats! And now they were deep in cow's shit.

She had stopped cursing Hera at least a year ago but every once in a while she was caught off ward and the curse slipped her lips.

"I don't mind them anymore! Do I deserve this?" She yelled looking up. She could almost see the goddess sitting in her throne with that superior face she pulled. That disgusting face, laughing at her "Is it a punishment? You hate me that much?!" She didn't mean the cow's poop now. People fast walked around her not even looking at her screaming towards the sky.

Thunder rumbled in the sky and it started to rain, people run to cover themselves, bumping her, and she stood there, looking up, getting soaked.

She had tried talking to the goddess. She even dragged Percy along, because maybe if the two of them were in good terms with her... But no, she gave them a few evasive cold answers and metaphors and whatever and waved them off. No fertility reassurance, no word of encouragement, not a single positive comment.

She shouldn't have been expecting any kind of good words from the goddess (she was smart enough to know she wouldn't give her any but she tried anyway) but they were the freaking heroes of Olympus and then they killed freaking Gaea; she owed them that much!

Annabeth bit on her lips trying to control her rage, she swallowed her get her pride to work the next words out.

"I'm sorry" Annabeth said out loud after a moment "I'm sorry Lady Hera. So sorry" The last thing she should be doing was yelling to the queen of heaven. She was never getting pregnant this way.

Annabeth had blamed the gods for almost everything that happened in her life. It was their stupid mistakes that got her and Percy into the most dangerous situations. Right now she was blaming Hera for this, she was certain that the goddess had something to do with her not getting pregnant.

A Chimera appeared at the end of the street and looked straight at her. What did Chimeras had against her? Always chimeras… agh well, she knew her weak spots and it was easy to kill them.

"Di immortals, the perfect way to end this day" She got her dagger out and looked at the monster defiantly "come on then!" It started running towards her, she stood ready to fight.

Annabeth really needed this; her anger had to go elsewhere, it was a good distraction, better this than get it with Percy when she get home, it wasn't his fault and he put up with it. She might as well kill a monster.

Her period was late, two days late but that was something. She had used the ovulating kit, they had sex because the thing indicated that they should, she checked her calendars and even scheduled it for a certain hour, the hour she was supposed to be most fertile.

And now she was late.

Annabeth opened the bathroom cabinet and took a few pregnancy tests out. Seriously if someone saw it they think she was crazy... She had a lifelong stock of tests.

She laughed out loud getting light headed. This might be it.

She wondered if she should pray Hera before taking them but decided against it. Thinking of the goddess made her bitter so she erase all thought of her and cleared her head and stayed positive.

She took all five of them. Just in case, one never knows. Maybe one is defective or something.

She set her watch's alarm for five minutes and sat on the toilet waiting like she had done a million times over the past year.

"For gods sake!" She doubled checked them. All negatives. Was it too soon to tell? Doubtful. They gave a 99% accurate results, how could five of them be wrong? She just wasn't pregnant.

"I will not cry. I will not cry. I won't!" She bit down on her lip until she opened a gash and she tasted blood, that didn't stop the tears swelling in her eyes. Annabeth managed to pull herself together a second later. She wasn't the crying type, crying was no use but sometimes when it was too much she did dropped a tear or two.

She opened the bin after half an hour of sitting there watching the floor tiles and started dumping them one by one.

"Wise Girl" She jumped and looked up.

Percy was standing by the half closed door. She tried to clean her dried tears with her sleeve.

"Hi! I didn't hear you come in" Her voice sounded too cheerful for the scene he was watching. She wondered how long he'd been standing there watching her in silence

He didn't have to ask what the results were, he already knew. Annabeth had stopped taking the tests in front of him for a reason but he usually knew when she had.

"Wise Girl" He said again and met her glassy grey eyes. His eyebrows were all scrunched together, an endearing gesture he made when he was worried.

She shook her head "It's nothing" but her voice broke in the last syllable and he rushed to hug her. She didn't want to cry again, much less in front of him.

His heart broke to see her drop a single tear. She knew Percy hated it when she cried but it didn't help to calm down to have him whisper cute things and telling her everything was going to be okay. It clearly wasn't.

"What's wrong with me?" She asked

"Gods Annabeth nothing is wrong with you"

"Then why-?"

"I don't know" He cut her off a little angry but trying hard not to show it.

"Do you think the gods are messing with us?" She really wanted to find a logical explanation, like she did with everything but there was nothing.

"Not this time" He cleaned her tears and then grabbed the remaining pregnancy test from her hand and dropped them on the trash.

"I just can't believe there's nothing wrong with me!"

"There's not!"

"Seriously? After a year?" She argued.

"Maybe we should stop looking" He said in a low voice.

"What?!" Annabeth looked at him furiously. Her grey eyes stormy like ready to take him down on combat.

"It's just something nature should handle"

"Exactly. And nature tells me that after a year of normal circles and sex I should be pregnant"

"I don't know"

"You don't know?! This is very simple thing! People get babies without wanting them all the freaking time, and they are making mistakes. We are doing this right!" He didn't really know what to say, because that was true. He just didn't know why she wasn't pregnant "You don't want this as much as I do?!"

"Don't start with that again. I do! You know I do." He was hurt and she saw it reflected in his sea green eyes and it soften hers

"Yes, it was stupid. Sorry" She said and grabbed his hand.

"I love you-" She cut him off

"I love you too!"

"Yes, but I love you Annabeth, and... I can't handle this anymore than you. Let's just stop"

"Percy-"

"No, let me finish. You need to relax, let's throw all these tests away, let's throw the ovulation stuff, the calendars. And the scheduled sex"

"You're saying that I stop trying to control it all"

"Well...yes. And stop trying so hard"

"It shouldn't be this hard" She murmured.

"For all the gods! It shouldn't!" She pressed her lips and looked away, she still wasn't convinced. He kissed her hand "come on Annabeth, you have been doing all that for over a year. Give it a rest. Take a week off from work"

She looked at him with an eyebrow raised "what does my work have to do with anything?"

He smiled "You need a vacation, just a few weeks. I can see you're stressed. You can check progress with your laptop. Consider it at least"

She nodded agreeing, "Okay"

"Yes?" He smiled brightly, relived.

"Yeah" She managed a small but sad smile "for both things. Let's stop"

"That was easier than I thought," he commented more to himself. Annabeth slid to the floor and sat on his lap.

"I'm tired" She put her head in his shoulder.

"I know Wise Girl"

"No more scheduled sex, I promise. I know you hate it"

"I don't hate it...it just takes out the spontaneity of it, don't you agree?"

Annabeth rolled in bed awake two weeks later on a Saturday.

Percy murmured something unintelligible when she kissed him on the cheek. She cleaned the drool on the corner o his mouth and smiled, He buried his face on the pillow and brought her closer to his body ready to continue sleeping.

"Are you awake?" She poked him on the side

"Hmm"

"Open your eyes" he protested and opened one eye against his will.

"Can I live on holiday?"

"You technically can. You're your own boss"

"You make me lazy. The two weeks are coming to an end and I want more vacation. But buildings aren't going to build themselves"

"You call that being lazy? These two weeks were hardly a vacation, you were with your computer everyday sending emails and designing on the coffee table"

"I got bored!" She said and laughed a little.

"That's kinda the point of vacation. You have nothing to do, you rest" He turned towards the alarm clock in the nightstand and rubbed his sleepy eyes; "Annabeth! For gods sake it's too early. Maybe you didn't work but I did"

She presses a kiss to his lips "Come on. I can't sleep anymore" He groaned and embraced her tighter in his arms and brought the covers up.

"Try" his shoulders flexed under her fingers and she couldn't help but smile at how fit he was. She looked at him for a bit, his dark eyelashes, his cheekbones and his lips; going down to the line of his neck and collarbone, she could feel the muscles in his torso pressed to her body and seriously he was so sexy!

"No, let's do something fun" she got on top of him and started pulling his boxers down. He opened his eyes and smiled cheekily and her, now fully awake and aware of her touch. She managed to get his boxers half down when he rolled over so he was on top of her and she laughed. They battled against each other, rolling and laughing and stealing kisses but eventually Annabeth let him won and relax under him.

He gave her a triumphant smile and slid his hands over her body. It gave her such a rush. He turned her on so much and she was excited.

She loved doing it in the morning when they both just woke up, with sleepy eyes and slow movements and soft caress, sharing the coziness of their bed, messing up the sheets.

Later, she came; moaning, arching her back, raking her nails on his shoulder blades and nibbling on his neck.

"That was- so- nice" She let out breathless. He laughed breathlessly at her faltering words and kissed the nape of her neck where her blond curls were sticking with sweat. She wasn't usually the one faltering and he found it extremely cute.

"Morning" He looked at her with his goofy grin and she couldn't help but smile back rolling her eyes.

"Morning Seaweed Brain" She exhaled in extreme pleasure.

"Certainly a good one"

She was about to ask why on earth they had stopped doing that but realized how stupid the question was. They hadn't stopped, of course. She just stopped enjoying it in that careless way, with her mind completely empty and doing it just because she was excited and because he made her melt with every touch.

He climbed off of her and embraced her, resting his head on her chest and sighing deeply.

Annabeth got up from the bed pushing him off of her.

"What?" He asked and sat up a little. She put on her panties and one of his old camp t-shirts she used to sleep and run to the corridor.

"Get your ass out of bed Jackson! We are making blue pancakes" He smiled watching her slender figure go and got up to follow her, he loved her so.

Annabeth opened the bathroom cabinet to get some toilet paper out. She made a mental note to put toilet paper on her supermarket list, this was the last roll. When she moved it she noticed the tampons box sitting behind it, unopened.

She started counting back, but got lost and started again because she couldn't exactly place her last period. Two months? That was too far back.

How could she miss it? Well she had this new project; it was big and important for the whole studio. She was already well known as a really young architect but this building was something else. It was simply amazing and not because she design it (well...maybe)

She went to the kitchen where there was a small calendar stick to the fridge, the only one Percy left after he cleaned the house after her little breakdown two months ago. She counted and confirmed that she had missed two periods; the second one should have come last week.

She sat on the counter wondering. She could really dismissed it as an irregular circle, but she only had of those on her early teen years...

With the excuse that they were out on toilet paper and a few other stuff she grabbed a jacket and walked towards the street grocery store, mattering to herself all the way that it was just a test and she wouldn't let herself get obsessed with it.

If it was negative, that was it. She would turn the page and not let it get her and she would wait for her period that had to come eventually. And if it was positive...Well, she really didn't want to think about that result.

She got one tests and then went back to the aisle and grabbed another one.

It was completely stupid to actually buy pregnancy tests, because she was sure Percy would never literally put 30 dollars on the trash but she didn't want to call him to work asking where he stuffed them, it would probably upset him or get him nervous.

She got home with a bag full of groceries and her two tests. She unpacked her stuff and placed them in their respective cabinets with shaky fingers just to delay the moment.

Annabeth delayed it for half an hour until she did them. And now she was waiting like so many other times before, sitting in the close toilet hugging her legs and biting her lip.

Finally, she grabbed on from the counter trying to get it over with. Just thinking, 'of course I'm not pregnant' but the two lines took her completely by surprised and she gasped and grabbed the second one quickly, checking and finding the same result.

Two reddish lines. One of them was fainter but it was there nevertheless and it was the first time she saw another thing than one line.

She felt her heart swoon and contract. She really was pregnant. She kept staring at her two tests with two lines each until she found she couldn't see them anymore because her eyes were full of tears.

"Oh gods" She said choking with emotion.

The hair on her arms stood on end and she felt a shiver going through her body.

She never thought life beyond teenaged years was possible, it technically wasn't for demigods. Tell her fourteen year old self she was going to be married and pregnant at 26, she wouldn't have believed it.

Annabeth first saw a little hopeful future after the Battle Manhattan was over and then it crumbled to pieces when the prophecy of seven arrived and Percy was taken away from her.

But the real moment where she first saw herself married and maybe with kids was when Percy mentioned New Rome to her, that and the cute future he pictured. And Annabeth Chase's motherly self flourish from that moment, the thought of seeing herself with a little cute baby, Percy's baby, someone defenseless who will love her and need her. Someone completely hers.

She felt nervous and scared and emotional, all at the same time. She wanted this so much, she hugged her stomach.

"I'm home!" Percy called and he heard the door close. Was that the time already? She cleaned her tears and breath in to calm down "Wise Girl?"

"Percy" She called opening the bathroom door.

Percy turned and saw her walked towards him, 'oh shit, he thought, not again'

"Annabeth..." He started and she rushed to his arms and started crying a little again. "There's no point in-"

"No, Percy, shh. Listen" She managed between sobs against his shoulder "I-am. I'm pregnant"

"What?" He looked blank

"I'm pregnant" She repeated clearer this time but he had understood it the first time and he was completely stun

"Seriously?" He asked and pulled away a little from her embrace to see her face.

"Yes, Seriously" She smiled at him with tears in her eyes and nodded. She put the tests in his hand and he looked at them

"Oh gods" He muttered and run his hand through his black hair. His heart was accelerated and he felt a rush of emotion. "I- think I need to sit" He stumbled backwards and hit the coffee table and then found the couch. He sat with his elbows on his knees staring at her pregnancy tests

"Percy?" He looked up at her, teary eyed and a little disorientated as if still trying to comprehend what was happening.

Annabeth kneeled on the floor, in front of him, smiling and took his face in her hands looking straight into his green eyes full of tears and she got emotional again. He was really crying and she couldn't remember the last time he had cried.

"Oh gods Annabeth." He managed and pulled her to his chest and hug her tightly "we're going to be parents!" she nodded.

"Yes! I know!"

"Oh gods. I'm so happy." He kissed her face repeatedly. "Come here!" He pulled her up onto his lap and hugged her

"Stop crying you idiot! You are making me cry" He laughed while
she cleaned his tears.

"See! I told you. You got pregnant. I told you Wise Girl!" He brushed her tears away with his thumb and kissed her.

"Shut up" She said against his lips

"I love you so much" He whispered between kisses.

Later, in the darkness of their room, they were holding each other under the covers.

"We're going to have a baby" She whispered and he tightened his embrace and kissed her neck. It hadn't dawned on her yet. She still couldn't believe it. "We'll have to go to the doctor tomorrow…"

"Yes, I know. You told me, like a hundred times. We are going" He kissed her cheek and trailed his lips over her skin to her mouth "Now…Do you think the baby would mind if we make love?" Percy asked cockily turning towards her.

"I'm scared" She said and grabbed his hand.

"Of having sex? I don't think-"

"No, Kelp Head. I'm scared...of- of being a mom" She whispered

"Oh shut up. You're going to be the most perfect mother ever"

"You think so?" She smiled a little.

"I know so" He replied dead serious.

"Thank you Seaweed Brain. I think you'll make a wonderful daddy too" He kissed her shoulder "And no, I don't think the baby will mind if we end this day making love"

"That's what I thought" He grinned at her in the darkness.

the pillow and the puppy thing were actual advises from a gynecologist to my mom when she wanted to get pregnant...can you actually believe that? that's ridiculous...but hey she got pregnant with my eldest sibling after doing both things, maybe it does work? (no way pfff)
