Percy and Annabeth-Their future

Moving??

I know I said I wasn't doing these top things before, but I needed to apologize for not updating. SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!! I am on vacation and we had family with us.  Anyway, here's this possibly shocking chapter.

I was now eight months pregnant. The early April sky was bright, but clouds were coming in. Easter had just passed, and I was laying on the sofa, all alone. Rion and Selena had gone with Thalia to the museum. Sophia was at pre-k. Percy was at work. It was around 1:30 PM. Thalia was pcking Sophia up, even though I insisted that doing nothing for the day was bad for me. Percy had refused to listen to me and was going to be home at 2:00 to help me. Thalia and the kids wouldn't be back until 5:00 ish. I had already tried watching TV, writing, reading, and listening to music, but all I felt like doing was napping, so I did just that. 

It was only 2:15 when I awoke. Percy stood in the kitchen, his face pale. He shuddered, not noticing I was awake. I decided to let him go on unknowning for a few moments longer. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. 

Ever since Percy had gotten a new job with a water company, ditching his swimming and teaching jobs, he had been on the phone much more. He was one of the bosses of his branch of the company, so it figured. But this time he wasn't talking like he did with his colleagues or clients. This time, his voice was sift and quiet and almost...scared.

"Mom? It's me, Percy." He stopped and I heard bits of Sally talking.

"I have some news." More sounds.

"My company was very pleased with me. They decided that it would be best if they had me at a higher position."

"Yeah, I know. But the thing is... The headquarters are in Boston. And they want me there. If I decline, I'm jobless. I can't tell Annabeth this right now!"

"No, it'll be harder that way! She is already stressed out about her baby being taken away. This will make it all worse. I have until May 15th."

"That's her due date?!?!? No! This cannot be happening....!!! Ugh!!!!!!! I have literally ruined her life."

"Thanks, Mom. Yeah. I'll see you soon. Thanks. Bye." After he hng up, he came to the sofa and sat down. When he looked at my face, with my eyes open and a smile on my lips, he paled.

"How much did you hear..." I laughed. 

"All of it. That's great!"

"Wh-what?"

"I'll go anywhere you need to go. I promise. You are the love of my life. It won't be that bad. Maybe if we're father from Camp, the baby will be fine. You never know," The color came back to Percy's face. He leaned in to kiss me. I willingly gave in.

****Two Weeks Later****

We had finished packing up our stuff. Thalia was throwing us a going away party in a week. Everyone knew. They were all vowing to see us all the time. I was partially glad to be moving out of New York. Although I loved it, I thought being away from Camp would be a blessing rather than a curse. In less than three weeks, I would be in the hospital giving birth. 

Dr. McCormick had asked if we wanted to know the gender of our baby, but I had insisted that we wait until he or she was born to find out. It would be more fun that way.

Percy had promised Sophia and Selena and Rion a dog when we moved to Boston. We weren't going to be in the city, but rather the suburbs with a small town. We were looking at Needham, Welselley, Higham, and Newton. Personally, I loved Higham and Newton. Higham was on the water, but Needham had an adorable town.
