Never getting away from me again

Three Months

   ANNABETH POV.

   I'm officially three months pregnant and I still look bigger then I should, but it's twins so I keep getting bigger each month.

      Percy went to work this morning so I'm home alone with Zoë. Percy and I decided to tell our friends about the babies sooner rather than later because it's getting harder and harder to hide my bump.

    I copied a ultrasound photo of the twins and glued it inside a few cards. I wrote a little note on the inside,
"Apparently we hate sleep, Jackson Babies due April 17th!"
   I put each card in a envelope and wrote names on them. I'm sending one to,
  Piper and Jason, my Dad, Hazel and Frank, and Reyna.
   We decided to tell Grover and Thalia in person when we see them next.

    I put them on my desk to mail later and go into the living room to hang out with Zoë. I take her out of her playpen and set her on the ground. She crawls over to her box of toys and takes out her little dolphin Sally got her awhile ago.

    She sticks the tail in her mouth and grins.
   I let her play and go into the kitchen to make her something to eat.

    I've been trying to get her to stop breastfeeding since we have 2 new babies on the way.
   She seems pretty ok with it and loves solid food, her favorites are strawberries, bananas, and carrots.

    Zoë crawls into the kitchen and puts her arms above her head letting me know she wants to be picked up.
  I pick her up and set her in her high chair so she can eat something.

   She plays with her food for a little bit then starts eating it.
  I try to get Zoë to eat more of her food instead of rubbing it all over her face when my phone rings.
  "Hey Annabeth," Pipers voice resonates from the phone.

    "Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing much, Jason is at work and I'm bored out of my mind. What are you up to?"

"Well at this point I'm trying to get Zoë to eat but after that not much. Do you want to come over? We can invite Hazel too. I'm sure Zoë would love to have some extra attention."
  Piper agrees and tells me she'll call Hazel and be over in about thirty minutes.
  

      After that I put my phone away and take Zoë into the bathroom and get her face and hands cleaned off.
     I take her into her room and change her diaper and put her into some jeans and a blue shirt with a mermaid on it.
   I brush her hair into two pigtails and set her on the floor.
  She crawled around playing with toys she found and I sat in the rocking chair watching her, occasionally she would come over to me and hand me a toy.

    I heard the doorbell ring and picked Zoë up. I went downstairs and put Zoë in her playpen then answered the door. Hazel and Piper were standing there smiling. "Come in." I smile and open the door wider. Piper immediately goes to Zoë.
"When do you think your going to have another baby Annabeth?" Hazel asked me as she watchs Piper play with Zoë.

   Piper looked at me with a smile. 

   "I don't know Percy and I are thinking about another one when Zoë is older." I respond.

  It's not a complete lie we were thinking of it but not this early. We talk for a little bit and Zoë starts fussing and I decided to put her down for a nap.

  I tell the girls I'll be right back and I go into Zoe's room and change her into some pjs and sit down in the rocking chair. She yawns and lays her head on my chest. I rock her for a little bit and when she's really asleep I get up and lay her in her crib. As soon as I set her down she opens her eyes and starts crying.

   I sigh and pick her up, I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. "She's still awake you were trying to get her asleep for 25 minutes?" Piper asks me with a nervous look.
   I nod and lay Zoë on my chest and run my fingers up and down her back. "Is she always like this?" Hazel asks me.
  "Sometimes but not often, Percy and her love each other very much and he can always get her to sleep but when he's not here she's kinda fussy when she gets tired. So sometimes we end up sitting on the couch, in the rocking chair or even laying in my bed for hours getting her to sleep at least a hour." I tell them.  "Have you told Percy?" Hazel asks.
  "No, I don't want him to worry, but I know I need to eventually." I say.
    "Annabeth he loves you and Zoë to pieces he worry's because he cares please tell him." Piper tells me.
   I nod and keep rubbing my baby's back. We talk for a few hours until Piper and Hazel had to go home.
  They left and Zoë was finally sleeping but I knew it wouldn't be long.
  I gently pick her up and carry her into her room and sit on the rocking chair and close my eyes.

PERCY POV
When I get home I walk in the house and find it empty.
    I head into Zoë's room and find her asleep on Annabeth's chest and Annabeth sleeping too. I smile and take a picture.
  I go back into the living room and get some work done for a little bit when Annabeth walks out with Zoë on her hip. As soon as Zoë sees me she reaches her arms out. Annabeth hands me Zoë and sits down next to me. "How was your day?" I ask her. "It was ok Zoë wouldn't nap unless I was holding her, so I couldn't really get anything done." She tells me.
"I'm sorry she's not napping I can take tomorrow off and watch her so you can get some work done." I tell her. "Thank you that would be nice for me and Zoë gets to spend time with her daddy." Annabeth says. I smile and look down at Zoë.
"How's my 2 other babies?" I ask. "Their doing good I've been a lot more hungry today." She says. I smile. We talk for the rest of the evening and hang out as a family.
