Percy and Annabeth -- After CHB

Chapter 13

"Ms. Chase, when a contraction comes, I want you to push as hard as you can."

"Shouldn't be too hard. Let's do it."

A contraction came and Annabeth pushed. Piper was holding her hand and she could see the top of the baby's head. Her friend rose, pushing with all her strength. The baby inched forward. Piper could see it's forehead. 

It had been 20 minutes since Annabeth started pushing, and the first baby's head was barely out. She dashed to the door, and almost slammed into a nurse with a wheelchair. In the wheel chair was none other then the previously shot, Percy Jackson. 

"Oh gosh Percy. Hurry come in here."

As Percy entered the room, he went straight to Annabeth and took her hand. 

"How are you wise girl?" He whispered.

"Percy, I don't know if I can do this."

"Well it's to late to turn back now."

"I know but maybe, maybe-"

"Annabeth, I know you have the strength to get through this, and when we do get through it, you will be an amazing mother. I believe that god wants us to do this. He wants us to put two beautiful new people in this world." He kissed her forehead and said, "Now bust out some little, well are they still demi-gods if their parents are demi-god, and their grandparents are gods?"

"It still counts seaweed brain."

"Okay, then bust out some little demi-gods."

Annabeth writhed as another contraction came. She pushed and the first baby was out.

"It's a boy!" The doctor announced, handing the baby to Percy.

He teared up, looking at his beautiful son. "Oh gods," He whispered, "He's perfect!"

Annabeth held out her arms and Percy passed the crying baby to her. Annabeth started to cry, a long with her boyfriend and son. Then she flinched. She handed the baby back to Percy.

"The next baby is coming."

"Okay Ms. Chase-"

"Jackson." Percy corrected

"What?"

"We're engaged, you should call her Mrs. Jackson."

"Alright then. Mrs. Jackson, here comes the other one."

Again Annabeth push with all the might she had left. She pushed again, and again, and again, until finally, another baby's cry echoed through the room.

"It's a girl!"

The doctor handed her to Annabeth, who began to cry. Percy leaned over to look at his daughter, and he started to cry too. 

"Good job Mrs. Chase-er- Mrs. Jackson. We'll leave you two alone." With that, the doctors all left the room. 

Percy and Annabeth sat together, holding their children. Percy gave Annabeth the boy, and she held one in each arm. He pulled off his shirt, and then took their daughter into his arms.

"What?"

"Skin to skin contact helps them know who we are."

"Oh. How did you know that?"

"What!? I got bored, you know in our prison, so I read a paternity book."

"Ahhhh. Wait you read a book?"

"Shut up wise girl!"
