Percy and Annabeth-Their future

Baby Talk

Hey! Here's your update, everyone:)

“Percy, I have to go the doctors now. Are you gonna meet me there or at home?” I asked Percy over the phone. Thankfully, we could finally use them since we had special devices that kept the signal away from monsters.

“Um, I have some swim lessons till 11:00, but then I’ll come, okay?”

“Perfect. The ultrasound’s at 11:10.”

“Love you, Wise Girl.”

“I love you too, Seaweed Brain.” I pulled into the garage and got a spot. Then, I got into the elevator and waited as the floors passed by. Finally I stepped out and waved to Kelly.

“Hello, Annabeth. Do you have an appointment with Dr. McCormick?”

“Yes, I do. She said 10:30.”

“Yes, I see it here. Can you wait about five minutes while I tell her you’re here?” Kelly asked sweetly.

“Of course,” I replied as I walked towards the waiting room. I sat down and started checking my email on my Olympian phone made for demigods by demigods. I had two messages from Sally Jackson and one from Perce. I was about to read them when Dr. McCormick called me.

“Hi, Annabeth. Welcome back. As you know, we’ll be having your four month ultrasound and we can go over some info. Did you get the book I recommended? The Nine Month Guide of Pregnancy or Tips and Tricks for a To-Be Mother?”

“I got both of ‘em! Very informative.” She nodded as we walked into her office. It was a white room with a dark brown wooden desk and a dark brown wooden bookshelf to match. Then there was a spinning leather chair on her side of the desk and two non-spinning leather chairs on my side.

“Have a seat.” She motioned for me to sit in one of the two chairs.

“Alright, let’s talk basics. Do you want to find out if your baby’s a boy or girl or do want to wait?”

“Umm, I’ll have to ask my husband. He’s coming today for the ultrasound, so we’ll ask him then.” I added. She smiled.

“Perfect. Do you have a crib already?”

“Yes, it was a gift from my parents. It’s light wood.”

“Great. Do you have a highchair and toys?”

"Yes, we do.”

“Wonderful. Now, when you put the baby to bed, always put it on it’s back with no blankets or pillows. This will prevent suffocation.”

“Okay, no pillows or blankets. Baby on it’s back. Got it.” I said, trying to etch this info into my brain.

“Good. Always strap the baby into the highchair; this will prevent it from falling out. Do you have a car seat?”

“Yes. It’s the kind that works on baby strollers that are for infants.”

“Great! You’re very prepared. The baby will stay in that until it’s heavier than the weight on the car seat, okay?”

“Yep.”

“Any questions?”

“Umm, when will I find out my due date?”

“Well, you’ll probably be do in the end of April or early May, but you’ll get the exact date later, probably at about six months. Anything else?”

“Nope.”

“Great. Let’s go the ultrasound room now.” Dr. McCormick stood. She smiled and motioned for me to walk out of the room. I hoisted myself up and followed her through the halls once more. I heard my phone buzz, and saw that I had a text from Percy. It read, Behind you! I Love you. J Percy! Okay… I whirled around to find Percy smiling as he followed us.
