Nicos POV

I paced around the hallway, waiting for the nurse to give me the thumbs up. I swear to god if I ever see luke, I'm going to loose my mind. There are so many slow, painful ways I could end his life, and if any way , I am going to combine them all in any way possible. For Thalia. For the baby.

Thalias POV 

I was standing outside a small cottage in the forest. I slowly approached it, afraid. There were 3 people. Well, 2 and a child. The child had to of been younger than a year. I walked inside without them reacting. Could they see me? 

I stepped out in front of them to look at the child , only for my breathe to spike. It was a beautiful baby girl with the smoothest blonde curls , and blue eyes deeper than the ocean. Instinct took over and I reached for her. As my hand got close to the child, It slide through her.

Am I dead? 

I looked  up at the mother who held the baby girl, cautiously .  Almost like looking in the mirror, She had short black hair, blue eyes, and a lover who looked exactly like Nico. Wait-- 

Is this Nico and I with the baby?

My Baby?

Tears escaped my eyes. I heard footsteps from the top floor, until I saw my worst nightmare descend from the stairs.

Why is Luke here?

He had an evil grin upon his face as he approached the child. The mother and father had placed the baby into the crib. They stood, frightend as the man looked at the me. He ignored the parents and tilted his head at me, then moved to look at the mother.

"Luke you don't have to do this. Look at her. She's beautiful. Please.." She begged. What was happening? Why am I here? 

"Oh but I have to. She doesn't belong here. She is alive due to my carelessness. So she has to go."

He slowly picked up the girl and smiled at me.

"Wake up, Sparky." He said, winking at me before walking out with the girl.

Nicos POV

Was someone screaming? I looked through the window of the hospital room and saw the nurses trying to detain a flailing Thalia. I jumped up and ran into the room, accidentally waking Annabeth on the way inside. I ran to her side and took her hand, while leaning next to her and coaxing her to calm down and wake up. 

Almost instantly, her eyes shot open and she shut up. I reached over to hug her but she pushed away, instead pulling a nurse close and whispering her a question. The nurse looked over at the girl and bit her lip.

"Test results aren't back sweaty. I'll let you know when I find out." The nurse said walking out. 

Thalia curled up and rested her hands on her stomach with a grimm expression on her face. I placed my hand on top of hers and laid my head against the side of the hospital bed. 

The others walked in behind us and tried comforting her. No amount of comfort could mend the wound she could face.

Thalias POV

"H-how long was I out?" 

"Just a couple hours hun." Annabeth said, speaking up. 

I sighed in relieve and the suddenly remembered my 'dream'

"What is it babe?" Nico asked. 

"I had a dream.. The baby.. She is beautiful. She has the smoothest blonde curls and blue eye's as bright as a winter days sky. Her name was Annie. She really was so .. beautiful. But Luke came, and took her. He said 'Wake up Sparky.' and then I just.. Woke ." I said, holding back tears. Nico reached forward and brushed hair out of my face. 

"I am going to kill him for good baby. We wont come back again. " 

I looked over and smiled at Nico as Annabeth blabbered about how she was named after her. The nurse walked back into the room with a sad look on her face.

Everyone shut up and looked over at her. Nico squeezed my hand and Annabeth latched onto Percy's arm.

"Thalia.. I am truely sorry to be the one to deliver the awful news.. But the chemicals placed in the drink were designed to take the baby's life. She fought, but because of how old she was, her small immune system couldn't keep the chemicals at bay and they took her life. I am so sorry."

The nurse walked out, crying herself. The only expression I could give off was shock. 

Annabeth began crying, and Percy wrapped her into his arms. 

Nico watched me carefully.

I pushed Nico over and got up, out of the bed. I walked out into the hallway and down to the room were the children were held. No nurse stood in my way, Im guessing they've had many cases of this. One hand remained on my stomach and I rested one hand upon the glass. I felt arms wrap around me and relaxed into them. Nico reached down and kissed my cheek. I turned around and hugged him. 

The rest of the night sailed smoothly. We left the hospital and all ate dinner. 

No one spoke.

Eventually I crawled into bed and cried. Nico joined me and we cried together. 

There was nothing left to do but cry.
