Percy pov Part 35

Percy's pov

so apparently toady's message from the doc was no lying on your back Annabeth I don't quite get that she is still all in her normal clothes even if she says her jeans are a bit tight i can't tell but i can feel a bit of a bump through her shirt when i hold her against me so i do it all the time just to feel her move when we where sitting down for the play stuff was torture i had to just hold her hand to keep me sane we had to say how they where being our friends wrong Leo was particularly he died in the end but hearing someone else try to be him well it was like it had just happened again i nearly cried but having Annabeth there helped a lot we went through all of them and boy was it tedious. but as soon as we had done everyone we walked to Annabeth's place I had told them I would be cooking so we went past the super market so i could get the stuff i was getting better a cooking Annabeth came with and got some pie, cream and pickles I din't get it but hey she is aloud to eat what ever she likes as per doctors orders she knows what she needs and how best to get it with out killing her taste buds. we walked back to the car with the shopping hand in hand I cant believe that i will actually get to see what someone who looks like her and acts like me will look like i cant believe it I hope one day they are like Sadie and her brother so confusing but i hope they are brave like that they will probably need to be with us as parents I loved having Annabeth around me as we walked i put my other hand that was caring the shopping on her tummy i could almost sense the shape of my children in there watery home it was incredible i knew what i wanted to do i would help with what Annabeth is going through all the time after all it is magical any way back to cooking i was in the middle of getting the dinner on the table when everyone else flied in from there after school activities I asked when they wanted diner they said in 10 min it will be on the table Annabeth set the table and i started to dish up going not at my normal break neck pace but making it beautiful. tasting every thing to make sure it tasted right and i didn't miss something critical like salt. we talked for ages after dinner and then we all went to our rooms and well didn't go to sleep immediately well in like half an hour we went to sleep after a fairly rough round of i'll say "fun". the next morning i woke up holding Annabeth on her left side like the doctor asked me to but something was different her belly was an entire two sizes bigger maybe it was the effect of being naked rather than in clothes as she slept or maybe being on her side was just that important but it went from looking like she had maybe one lemon in her that was more than normal now she had two potatoes and it was obvious this is what the doctor said might happen now ish its the pop thing i don't know if its this early because she is carrying twins or if its because we are demigods after all that is bound to effect this in lots of ways  she will probably get through this better in lots of ways because of the strength and fit ness she has i talked to the doctor about how to get Annabeth to take it easy now she is feeling a lot better she will want to climb jump run and flip just like I do how much of that is OK. he said "what she can do and feels comfortable doing" 

"so your saying we shouldn't put our selves in places where we might need to fight for our lives" 

"I guess though why you would need to in this life i don't know its the modern age fighting is well not really normal and even in old times the women didn't really fight much and this is why it dangerous for pregnant women to fight"  

"um not really something that should be mentioned around the girls i know they would kick your ass and then mine for good measure don't hurt me Annabeth I'm just worried about you and the babies i don't want them getting hurt"

"I know Hun you've saved my pride by asking that for me now i can just glare and look dangerous which despite this I am"

"your the most dangerous women I know Annabeth all ways have been that is one of the reasons I love you"

"the question really is now that the good doctor said you shouldn't really be fighting how do we deal with all those People and things that want to kill us after all there are a lot of those"

"I don't suppose we can ask the gods for a 12 mouth long break? the other option is just avoidance which really hasn't worked well, like ever."

"you two sound like you um fight for your lives on a regular basses?"

"we do I always carry a sword she always carries a weapon of some description"

"when did you start this behavior?"

"well I was 12 and Annabeth was 7 and it really wasn't our idea of fun but necessary for our survival after all it was hugely unlikely for me to make it to 16 let aloe 17 nearly 18 and then to be able to be a parent well it was something I thought was so impossible that when i saw a child of two demigods I was shocked to the core"  

"well just try and keep out of the main fighting remember that the small humans you carry are precious and if you get hit in a fight your body is less focused on protecting them and more on keeping  you alive and this could result in there death so be careful let this big man here keep you safe"

this conversation made me so well relieved and as I lay there stroking the newly bigger bump i sensed the movement in the water i put a gentle hand out to touch the child through the water this is what i must remember of my dad bit soon they got tired so i stopped and just went back to holding Annabeth in my man i loved my Annabeth she stared and started to kiss me which resulted in some more "fun" before school.
