The boy with the seaweed brain {Pernico}

Part 4:

pregnant..."

I was shocked.

"But can I explain?"

"About which? The father or how a male could get pregnant?"

"The um...father..."

"Not here. I feel like something is listening here. I know you feel safe but I don't"

"Ok. Where do you propose we go to talk then?"

"Bring us to that dark end of the bed and I can try shadow travel us to my cabin."

"Ok, just remember..."

"How could I forget?"

I feel the bubble move to the exact spot I needed.

I geabbed Percy around the stomach from behind and shadow traveled.

"You okay?" I ask Percy when we arrive.

"A bit dizzy. Can...can we just lay down for a bit before we continue talking?"

"Sure." I said, the anticipation killing me but respecting Percy's needs.

I helped a very dizzy Percy over to my bed and we layed down.

We closed our eyes for a bit and listened to each other's breathing before I heard Percy's breaths even out. I look at his face and see that he's asleep.

I scoot a bit closer to him, resting my head on his chest. I listen to his heart beats which slowly lul me to sleep.

Annabeth's POV:
I wake up in my cabin. Odd...I specifically remember falling asleep at the beach. My memory being proven buy the mini beach my hair produced in my bed. Great.

I sit up and look around befkre realizing that this isn't my cabin.

I heard two other people breathing.

I look over and see two figures laying on the same bunk, one with their head on the other's chest.

As my sleep begins to fade, I realize that they were Percy and...Nico.

I look at the ceiling. The sun was going down again...

How long have I been out and when did I get here?

I noticed my bag was layed next to me with a note attached.

"Found you on the beach, laying in the sand. I brought you to sleep on solid land. I hope you won't end me, but to defend me, you had a bad gash on your hand. I wrapped it up as you can see, when I first found you down by the sea.
Ps, It's Leo. I had the Apollo kids help me word it in a non creepy way but drop by when you're free, we need to talk repairs."

I nearly groan as I stand up. I pick my bag up, sling it over my shoulder and head out.

Nico's POV:
I woke up at the sound of a closing door. The bunk closest to it looked like it had just been vacated but people usually just drop random unconscious people in here to rest because people are too scared to interfere with me when I'm angry.

I then remember what Percy had told me.

I THEN remembered that Percy was here. Beneath me. In my bed.

I could hear his heart beat steadily and I heard him sigh with content.

So he's awake.

I move a bit to get his attention which he notices.

"Morning ghost breath."

"Morning muffin man."

"Muffin man?"

"Because- never mind. You were going to tell me about...the father."

"Yes...the father..." Percy said, a voice of disgust in his voice.

"You could just say his name? Like ripping off a band-aid?"

"Yeah..."

Percy put his hand in my hair, a thing I hate but I knew it provided some comfort so I let it slide.

"C-could you count me in?"

"Sure? 1,2,3-"

"Gabe."
