Percy and Annabeth -- After CHB

Chapter 10

"We have to go to the hospital!!!!!!! Please he's the love of my life!" Annabeth cried. "I need him!" she shouted at the guards. "I can't do this without him!"

She bent down and touched his cheek. Tears running down her face. She whispered to him, "I'm gonna get you help. You're gonna be okay." 

He touched her belly. "Tell them I love them every day. And my mom. Tell her I died saving them. And when Estelle grows up, tell her I loved her."

"Percy, you aren't gonna die. Our kids, they will see you everyday when they wake up. And you will be a great father. I won't give up on us, Percy. Stay with me!" She turned to the guards. "Please. That is all I can say. He is the love of my life. I need you to have mercy."

One of the guards called up to the driver. "À l'hôpital. Faites vite!"

The truck started and shot down the road.

Piper came to whisper in Annabeth's ear. "He told the driver to take us to the hospital."

Relief, at least what she could muster, washed through Annabeth.

"Annabeth. We can do this. I know it. But if this is the end, we need names. I was thinking Bianca Silena Jackson."

"And the boy. Luke Charles Jackson."

He smiled. "I love it. Almost as much as I love them."

"You will get to give them their names right along with me. Percy-" Her voice cracked, "I can't do this without you."

"Nous sommes là! Sortez!" One of the guards shouted

"He says that we're here, and we need to get out." Piper translated.

Annabeth picked up Percy, with Frank's help. They carried him out of the van and into the hospital. "Help!" Annabeth shouted, "My boyfriend has been shot! Please!"

A nurse ran to them and spoke into a pager. They put Percy on a stretcher and started to wheel him out. 

"Where are you taking him?" Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand

"Ma'am we need to take him to surgery. The bullet needs to come out."

"Is he gonna be okay?"

"We think so ma'am"

"Just give me a minute with him. Please."

"Ma'am we don't really have time."

"Please. I'm 34 weeks pregnant with our twins. I don't know what I would do if I loose him."

"Fine. Make it quick."

"I love you Percy. I need you. You can survive this. You survived freaking Medusa at 12! I know you can do this."

"I love you too. I know I will see little Bianca and little Luke when I get out of- Annabeth! What's wrong?!"

Annabeth had hunched over in pain. Her face was turning red.

"Percy. I'm having contractions. Percy, I'm having the babies!"

"Annabeth! Go with Piper. Go to the maternity wing. I will see you when I survive this."

"No! Percy! Percy I can't!"

"Yes you can. If I can survive this, you can have our wonderful, beautiful children. Now go!"
