Percy Jackson and the search for Poseidon's Trident

Chapter 10 Chiron's point of view

I did not expect Percy and Annabeth to return so slowly. It seemed like almost two years before they got back to camp. As soon as they returned i immediately went to work setting up party plans for there safe return and Percy's birthday. He had turned eighteen years old that day. I also received some wonderful news from Thalia. Annabeth was with child, and i was so happy. I didn't expect it to happen so fast though. She was only eighteen years old, the same age as Percy. But that didn't matter to me because as long as Annabeth is happy, i am happy. But anyways a few days later something really odd happened. Annabeth and Percy came downstairs a couple hours after curfew and Percy was carrying her down the steps and Annabeth looked terrible. She looked like she had just returned from Tartarus for the second time. I walked over to him, "What happened?" I asked. He replied with, "She hasn't been sleeping because of a certain nightmare she keeps having. And it's about-- He stopped. "About who?" I asked. He looked down at the ground. "And it's about me." he answered. I walked over to the couch and pressed a button. The couch unfolded and transformed into a large queen sized bed. "You are welcome to lay down here by the fire, if you so choose." I said. "Thank you Chiron." Percy said. I nodded and headed into my cabin, closing the door behind me. I heard outside my door, Percy talking to Thalia. A couple minutes later the noise stopped, and i knew that Percy was know sleeping.
