Percy and Annabeth

Anxiety

Annabeth's POV

It had been two weeks since I had found out I was pregnant. I still hadn't told Percy that I was pregnant. He was clueless. He knew something was wrong but he couldn't tell what it was.

I had some symptoms. I had migraines and nausea. I was dizzy, tired all the time, peeing all the time. I was sore.

Thank god Percy was there. He rubbed my back. He massaged my legs and shoulders. He didn't even know! He just did it because I was in pain. I regretted not telling him.

"Percy?" I said cautiously.

"Yes?" He said with eyes fixed on the tv.

"Would you want to have kids at some point?" I said.

"Mm I dunno. Yes but I mean." He said to his video game. 

"What?" I said, panicked.

"I dunno! Why are you freaking out about this?! DAMN IT! I died." He said, eyes glued to the television. Then he played again.

I got up and went to make dinner. I ate in bed. It was pasta. At first I was starving and then I couldn't eat any more because I was going to vomit.

That night I slept really badly. I tossed and turned. My dream was horrific. I dreamt that Percy didn't realize that I was pregnant until I went into labor. Even then he didn't realize right away. I gave birth to a beautiful baby-hell hound? Percy stabbed it and it turned to dust, blowing away in my hands. I sobbed and screamed at Percy.

"AHHHHH!" I woke up in a cold sweat.

Percy was still snoring beside me. That man could sleep through anything.

I went to the bathroom and cried. I thought that since demigod dreams are basically predictions, I was panicking about something bad happening to little baby Jackson. Yes I'm calling it either baby Jackson or little rice grain because that's the roughly the size of the fetus.

I went back to bed and silently lay back down, beside Percy. I have to tell him! I thought. Tomorrow. I fell back asleep and I had no dreams.

The next morning I woke up and Percy was in the kitchen. I smelled coffee and eggs and rushed to the kitchen. He hadn't burned any eggs yet but he was close. I finished making the eggs and he made the coffee. I refused it and said my stomach was upset then I made myself some toast and jam.

I had finished my breakfast after Percy because he scarfed down his food. I looked him in the eye and took that bullet.

"I'm pregnant." I blurted. Oops! I didn't mean to say it like that! "Percy, I love you and I took a pregnancy test and I am pregnant. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner!" I awaited his response anxiously.

This was the best he had. "Ok cool."

I was puzzled. "Don't you have questions?"

"Yeah I do. Is it mine?" He asked innocently.

"Of course Percy! Who do you think I am!"

"I had to ask!" He said, hands up in defence. "Also," he mentioned. "How long have you known that you where pregnant?"

"Um. Arnndff uaeh monf ." I mumbled. He raised his eyebrows at me. "About a month. But I needed to realize that this is actually happening and I was afraid to tell you."

"I'm glad. Not that you were afraid to tell me. I glad that you are preggers. I wanted I kid for a while but I didn't want to pressure you."

"That's a dignified way of saying I'm pregnant." I said sarcastically. "But seriously your not mad?"

He shook his head. "No. I'm not. As I said. I'm glad. We can finally start a family together. I won't be one of those dads that is like 70 and is having yet another kid. I want to be one of those fun, young dads that everybody loves."

"You want all the milf's to hit on you." Annabeth said unhappily.

"Well technically you will be a milf." Percy giggled. I rolled my eyes at him.

I went to go sit near the tv and Percy was worried about my 'condition'. He got annoying after a while even though it was sweet and he was cute when he was worried.
