Percy's POV

3 months later

I wake up, it's the middle of the night and I hear something. I see Annabeth sleeping. She is already about 5 months pregnant. I look around me and see a large hellhound right in front of me. I slowly grab Riptide which I always kept in my pocket. I try not to wake up Annabeth and stand up. I confront the hellhound and it comes towards me and starts growling, so I quickly stab it in its upper body.

Then my eyes become blurry and back to focus again and I see Annabeth on the floor losing a lot of blood, with my sword at her chest.

"Percy," she says in a weak and frail voice, "what have you done."

"ANNABETH!!! Oh my gods I'm so sorry. There was a hell--"

"Just get the ambrosia and nectar." She pulled out the sword while saying this so she started crying.

"But the baby's gonna die! What if the baby's all human."

"Just...do it Percy, we'll....we'll try again." She was going to die already, if she dies the baby's still dead anyway. So I get the ambrosia and nectar from the drawer and start feeding her and the wound started closing.

Then she closes her eyes. At least I can still see her breathing. I bring her on the bed and call Chiron to bring someone here. I can't believe Calypso would do this to us.

*ding dong* "Come in! I'm upstairs!" I shout at whoever Chiron brought.

The guy rushed to Annabeth and immediately checked her pulse then the heartbeat of the baby.

"Is she okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, but--" I cut him off, "I know." I tell him devastated.

"I'm really sorry for the loss of the baby," he tells me out of respect.

"Thank you."

"I just have to do some stuff to her."

"Alright."

Annabeth's POV

I see Percy sitting beside me on our bed. "Percy? Why did you do that." I ask him.

"I didn't do it. It was Calypso. She made the mist make me see that you were a hellhound. So I attacked you. I didn't realize it was you until I thought the hellhound was dead." He tells me really fast, as if he was in trouble

"The guy Chiron sent told me you can wait for it to come out naturally or you can have surgery and get the baby out."

"Oh gods." I start crying. Now I know the next time I have a kid. I have to give the baby to her. Or else we were going to get hurt.

"I'm sorry, Wise Girl." He says, his voice On the verge of crying.

"But it's not your fault."

"I know but...." He looks at me teary eyed.

I hold his face with my hand, and kiss him on the lips. I can feel my hot tears touching his face. "How long was I out?"

"At least three days. Wait someone's at the door," Percy says, looking at me with a sad face and wiping the tears from my face.

A moment later, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank are in the room. I try to wipe the tears from my face again.

"Hey Annabeth," Hazel says first. They all looked really worried.

"We're really sorry for your loss." Jason says next.

"Thanks." I try to muster a smile, but sadness overcomes me at the mention of the loss of the child, "Where's Percy?" I ask.

"He met us at the door," Piper replies, "he told us you were here then he left. Nico followed him."

"Reyna says condolence also." Frank tells me.

"Okay, tell her thank you too. Follow me." I still feel really weak but I manage to stand up and go to the kitchen to get them blue cake I baked the other day (Percy forced me too make some).

"You've bought a nice house Annabeth," Piper says happily.

"Well we wanted it near camp in case of emergencies like this," I reply. "Where's
Leo?"

They start looking at each other and Jason finally says, "Well.....he doesn't believe what Calypso had done."

"He called us "pretty little liars" he doesn't believe a word we say," Hazel joins in the conversation.

"WHAT?!?" I reply.

"Yeah, we were all at Camp Jupiter when Chiron messaged us. Nico shadow traveled us, he had to come back two times just to get us all here." Hazel says.

"I can't believe Leo would do this," I say, still really surprise.

"Us too," Frank agrees with me.

An hour of talking passes and they say goodbye to us. I say thank you for them for kinda lifting my spirits up. I also say thank you to Nico for bringing them here. He told me that they were going Camp Half- Blood soon anyway. But Percy was just outside sitting on the bench, working.

After they leave I go outside and sit beside him. "Hey seaweed brain, stop being such a seaweed brain." I joke at him, but still no reply. "Look I know you're mad or something but there's still time to go to the movies. My treat."

"Okay wise girl," he finally replies and looks at me from his laptop. "Don't be so hard on yourself okay?" I tell him. "Stuff just happens." Then I give him a kiss on the lips again. It didn't feel so agitated anymore. "I'll just make you some dinner or something." I say to him smiling at him, while he smiles at me back as I go to the kitchen.
