Inspiration from another Fanfiction I read called Unbreakable. Warning: Don't read if you can't hold the idea of Percabeth having a fight and possible divorce. And this is part one, so there will be more!

  Percy felt terrible as Annabeth grasped on him with all her strength. She had her face buried into his shoulder, soft tears slowing draining down her face. "It's only six months," Percy tried to consult with her as she kept her arms tightly around Percy's middle, not letting him go.
  "But it's that. Six months is too long, Seaweed Brain. And- and what if you're- you're killed? You're not invulnerable anymore. And how will I know if you're okay? You can't call, or even Iris Message because of the stupid rules!" She sobbed. Percy's heart broke as he stared deep into Annabeth's grey eyes, a storm stirring in those crystal orbits.
  "I know, Wise Girl. But I love you, more than anything. And I have to do this. Grover deserves it. After all, he's done for us," Percy kissed Annabeth's forehead, but her brow shifted.
  "Fine, Fine! Then go! Leave your family or life. Leave your wife. Leave your daughter!" Percy winced as he heard the mention of his two-year-old daughter, Sophia Grace, who he knew would be heartbroken when he left. But he had to do it. He owned his life entire life forrorhim. And after avoiding his conversation for four and a half months, pain flowed through his body.
  "I'm not abandoning you! And I am certainly not abandoning Sophia Grace either!" Percy's blood began to boil as he saw Annabeth's facial expression change from a sobbing mess to a mix of anger and haters.
  "Fine! Like I said! Leave us here. We'll never know if you come back, and to be honest, I don't even care! You walk out that door I'll make sure your own daughter hates you! I'll throw away my wedding bands(I still don't know what that is) and my engagement ring! I will change my name back to Chase and I'll make sure that if you come back or not, I will not shed a tear! I will not cry for someone who abandons his family like this!" Annabeth's words bleed venom as she spoke.
  Percy couldn't believe it, but he did understand where she was coming from, and he would never want to purposely hurt her in any way, but his decision was made. He gave Annabeth one last lingering kiss. "I love you, Annabeth. But I have to do this. And I promise, from the depths of Tartarus and I swear on the River Styx that I'll return. I'll come back to you. I promise you." Percy stood up and walked to his daughter's room, where she was sniffling, small tears running down from her sea-green eyes.
  "Do you- have to go, daddy?" Sophia Grace mumbled as she looked up at her father. Percy gave her a small smile. "Yeah, I do,"
  "Why though? I want you to- to stay, please?"
  "I can't, baby. I own to your Uncle Grover. You know I love you, right?" Percy kissed his daughter. "But I promise to come back, okay?" He hugged her one last time before getting up and walking towards the front door of their apartment. "I love you, Annabeth. I'll come back," He picked up his suitcase and walked out of the apartment, guilt swarming through him.

  Annabeth sat them on their couch, crying hard. She felt like her whole life, her whole world had collapsed. Her Percy. Her Seaweed Brain. Her love. Her husband. Her rock. Her everything. Had just left for the Army. She knew she didn't need to be so angry, but she was. No, she was bitter because she knew she couldn't live without him.
  "Mommy?" A small voice came from by the edge of the hall. Sophia Grace was holding a stuffed bunny and her favorite blanket, the unders of her eyes were red and blotchy and she looked like she was still on the verge of tears.
  "Come here, baby," Annabeth opened her arms to her daughter, who ran towards her and jumped into her embrace. "Are you okay?"
  "Are you mad at daddy?" Sophia sniffed as she cuddled into her father's side.
  "Of course not. I'm just- just sad. And disappointed. But I could never be mad at daddy," Annabeth picked up Sophia Grace. "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" Sophia Grace nodded and Annabeth walked there, I mean, her room and set Annabeth down on her bed, cuddling her up into the blankets, bringing her close.
I'm definitely not getting any sleep for the next six months. Or maybe never again.

Two Months Later-

  "I'm pregnant," Annabeth said, a huge weight was lifted from her shoulders. "And yes, it's Percy's."
  "Congrats, Annie," Thaila said, giving Annabeth a tight hug.
  "Really? Is that good?" Rachael said. Annabeth shrugged. Piper and Hazel smiled at her.
  "We're here for you if you need us, Annabeth,"
The one person I want here right now if Percy. Annabeth thought. The rest of the night was miserable, and Sophia Grace was still with Annabeth, and for now, she knew nothing was going to get better.
