Percy and Annabeth

11 weeks

Annabeth's POV

I had to go to a doctors appointment on April 6th at 3:00. I was 2 months along and the doctor wanted to check for a heart beat.

I was nervous. I didn't like Doctors. My last encounter with one was awful.

3:00 pm

I was still in the waiting room. Percy was sitting with me, he had been very supportive after I told him. He was mad because he couldn't come to my first appointment. He was confused when I said there was nothing there. No egg or fetus. Nothing. The doctor said it was normal though and that there was nothing we or I could do.

A nurse called us in and we stood up basically sprinting to the room. Instead we both walked kind of calmly and went into the room.

I sat on the table yet again waiting. Percy sat in one of the two chairs. He was beside me and I tapped my hand on my knee. Then the doctor came in.

"Hello there," she shook mine and Percy's hand, "I'm going to be your OBGYN while you are pregnant. My name is Dr. So. " she looked at her computer "Just a check up? Ok. Let's get started." She rubbed a weird white cream on my stomach after she asked me to pull my shirt up. She grabbed a small machine and a small tv.

There was a remote kind of thing and Dr So put it on my stomach and moved it around. I didn't know a lot about pregnancy but I had gotten quite a few books from the local library and I knew that we needed to hear a heartbeat from the baby or it would be a miscarriage.

"All right." Dr. So said. "This is the baby's head," She said pointing at the screen. "Here is where we will hear the heart beat." Silence. There was a lump in my throat: I was about to cry. Then there was a quiet dum-dum dum-dum. "And that's your babies heart beat." Dr. So said, relieved. I could breath again. I started crying. Not a lot just enough to know that I was so relieved and happy and grateful.

"Oh thank the gods!" Percy said under his breath. I grabbed his hand and he kissed my forehead. His sea smell floated to my nose and I breathed him in. Crying and laughing at the same time.

"Would you like to know the sex of the baby?" Dr. So asked me.

I glanced at Percy and he was looking at me. "It's your call." He commented.

"No. Thanks but no. I want to be surprised." I said.

"Ok. We will leave that for later.
