Hello guys! Hope you liked the update yesterday! Here's a new chapter, and hope you like it! Oh, don't forget to comment, vote, and comment and vote- they really keep me going and then I know you support me (to sound like an adult :) ) Anyway, this is ULTRASOUNDS...

“So, here we are!” I said as I directed Percy into the main building of the hospital. “ How much do we have to come here again?” Percy moaned playfully. “Just follow me, okay?” I pulled him to the front desk. “Hello, I’m Kelly, Dr. Marini’s secretary. Do you have an appointment?” “Yes. We spoke about two weeks ago?” “Your name, ma’am?” “Annabeth Ch- Jackson. Annabeth Jackson. Oh, this is my husband, Percy.” “Hello, Percy. Nice to meet you, “ Kelly said. “You too, uh, Kelly.” “Okay, so Annabeth, dear, you can wait in the waiting room until Dr. Marini is ready for you. Let me let her know that you’re here.” Kelly dialed in a number and let Dr. Marini know that we were there as Percy and I walked to the waiting room. We had just sat down when I heard someone say, “Jackson, Annabeth?” I did a little wave and a smile as Percy helped me up. “Hello. I’m Dr. McCormick. I’ll be doing all of your pregnancy things, and I’ll be your OB. Nice to meet you, Annabeth. Is this your husband?” said Dr. McCormick. “Yeah, I’m Percy Jackson.” said Percy. “Alrighty, then. Follow me please.” Percy and I walked through the halls of the hospital, following Dr. McCormick until she stopped at a door labeled Ultrasounds. “Okay , right in here.” In a few minutes, there was a clear, gel-like substance on my abdomen, and a picture of the so called baby on a computer screen. “There’s it’s head, and it’s legs and arms are here.” Percy looked like he was really confused as my OB showed him the picture. “Looks like you’re about fourteen weeks, or three and a half months along, Mrs. Jackson. You’ll probably start having some strange cravings, and you might even feel some kicks from the baby. Oh and remember, no laying on your stomach. You don’t want to squash the baby!” Dr. McCormick announced. “You should come in again in two weeks, when you’re four months along. Let me go get my planner, and we can check out some dates.” She said as she left the room. Percy smiled widely. “I’m so happy, Annabeth! Oh my gods, wow.” He beamed. Then, the doctor walked back in. “ Mrs. Jackson, are you available on Wednesday, the fifteenth?” “I think so. Is 10:00 or 10:30 okay?” “Yes, I have an opening from 10:30 to 11:25. Then, I can give you some more info and we can do another ultrasound. One sec, let me jot that down… Ahh, care for a print of this ultrasound?” “Uh…” “Sure.” I answered while smiling. “Okay, we’ll send that to you via email. What’s your address?” Mine is acjacksonathena@chb.com” I said. “Perce, your email?” I reminded him. Oh! jackson123@chb.com

” “Perfect. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson. Have a nice day! I’ll probably see both of you in two weeks, right? On your way out, ask Kelly for my business card so you can call or email me if you have any questions. See you! Oh, want me to show you out? It’s kinda confusing in here!” “Oh. No it’s okay. I think we’ve got it. Bye, now!” I called as we walked out. We once again we walking through the hospital halls, but now, both of us were beaming. We probably looked like goofs, but we were most likely the happiest couple in the world. As we passed Kelly, she handed us Dr. McCormick’s card, and we descended in the elevator down to the garage. The whole ride home, we listened to “Somewhere in Brooklyn” by Bruno Mars, and we were both belting it out. Finally, we arrived at our large five bedroom house, a mile away from Camp. Right away, I ran into my office and

got on the computer. Sure enough there was a message from the hospital. It read:

Subject: Ultrasound Photos

From: Dr. McCormick

To: Mrs. Annabeth Jackson, Mr. Percy Jackson

Hello! Here are your pictures that you wanted. I’m sure that your new addition will soon bring happiness into your family, not that you aren’t happy now. Attached below are the pictures, some basic pregnancy information, and some sources I recommend getting. Enjoy the pictures!

Sincerely,

Dr. McCormick.

“Oh, Perce, I got the pictures! We should send them to… everyone!” I called to Percy. “K, Annabeth, but first let’s have dinner. What’da ya want? I’m up for anything you want.” I thought about it for a minute and decided, “ Can we have Indian? Ya know, from Indian Prince? I am craving a Red Curry with mangoes in it.” Percy looked at me for a moment and shrugged. “Okay, Wise Girl. How about a drink?” “Can I have orange juice please?” “Orange juice? With Indian?” “Yeah. Is that an issue?” “Um, no. Not an issue, Wise Girl.” “Oh, and I want chocolate pudding. The Jell-O Instant pudding kind. Please.” I smiled and almost giggled at my strange request which seemed to creep poor Perce out a little bit. “Um, I’ll go get that stuff, okay, Annabeth? I’ll be back in 20 minutes. Love you!” He said. He gave a kiss on the cheek, and then went to put his snow jacket on. Then he was out the door.

While I waited for this awesome documentary on oracles to come on, I quickly forwarded the pictures to Sally, My mom and dad, and all of my demigod friends. Then, I started some new sketches for a couple living in the city. They were good friends with Thalia and Jason, so I wanted to do a good job. Plus they didn’t want me to design their apartment; they wanted me to decorate it. I drew out some modern Roman chairs and sofas, and looked online for some good art and furniture like the ones I had drawn. Finally, it was 7:30 and the documentary came on just as Percy came in through the door. “Sorry I’m late, sweetie. Lots of traffic on the bridge. Wanna have a TV dinner?” To me, that sounded pretty good. So there we were, Percy eating his chicken kebab, and me eating my red curry, orange juice, and chocolate instant pudding. After about ten minutes of the documentary, it got cancelled for a show in Spanish so we decided to look at our wedding gift from Sally and Paul- it was a DVD of pictures of Percy and I in all our special moments. I don’t know how she got them, but she did. I inserted the DVD and watched as the song “Loving You Tonight” came on with a picture of Percy as a little ten year old, his green eyes locking with the camera. Next was a picture of me with Thalia and Luke, and I was smiling as wide as the Styx. After that was Percy sleeping on a chair, me feeding him nectar and ambrosia. I looked so bored. Percy laughed at that one. Then came a picture of Tyson, Perce and I with our arms around each other, smiling and all looking like, ’Where’s Goat-Boy?’ Then there was a picture of Percy holding my Yankees hat and crying in the snow. I felt bad that I had disappeared and made him cry. We kept watching our childhood go by, up until Percy proposing. I started to get teary. “Don’t cry, Annabeth. It’s ok.” Percy said rubbing my back. I nodded and kissed him. “Do you want to go to bed?” I nodded. And he carried up to our room.

again, hope you liked it and sorry about the sudden font change- that was really wierd. And there might be mis spellings, but they shouldn't be too bad:) Love you guys!!!!
