The rest of our lives (Percabeth fanfic)

Hospital

Percy's POV

"Mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom." Is all I can think.

"Mom.." I finally say.

"Can you hear me?"

She doesn't respond and my eyes well up tears.

"Mom.. No." I whisper.

Annabeth grabs my hand.

"It will be alright." She tells me.

But I'm not sure if she's right this time..

We arrive at the hospital and she is rushed to a room.

Annabeth, Paul, and I have to stay out in the waiting room. Which is horrible.

I let the tears fall.

Paul pats me on the back.

"It's okay buddy. Don't worry. She'll be okay. She's a strong woman. I kn-" I cut him off.

"How do you know Paul!? Why is she like this!? I can't take this!"

I sit down and put my head in my hands. I start to sob.

Annabeth rushes over with tears in her eyes.

"Percy." She says, soothingly.

I put my arm around her.

"Don't you worry about me wise girl." I say, managing to get out a few motifs before I start to sob again.

She lays her head on my shoulder.

"But I am." She admits, in a whisper.

I cup her cheeks and whisper.

"Don't be."

She kisses me and it helps with the pain a little bit. All I want is to hold her in my arms and pretend everything is alright.

So that's what I do.

I hold her in my arms and I close my eyes. I pretend my mom isn't really in the hospital right now. I pretend my face isn't still wet with tears. I pretend that Paul isn't crying over a few chairs down.

I pretend everything is alright. I pretend I'm alright. That it's just me and wise girl. (Sorry Annabeth, wise girl and I.)

But sometimes... It's to hard to pretend. I close my eyes even harder and see visions of Annabeth and I walking on the beach with... Were those our children?

I let the moment capture me. To live in this moment, that isn't quite real yet. But I hang onto it..

Annabeths POV

I'm worried about Percy...

His mom is in the hospital now and he hadn't stopped crying.. He's holding me tight as the tears fall onto my head... And I can't help but to cry myself.

The last time I really saw Percy cry (other then a movie) was when he was telling Piper that Sally and Paul were all he had left.. That was right before he kissed me..

I hold into the memory of that kiss.

"This is where the rivalry started?" He had asked.

"Yup." I have replied.

I'll never forget him pulling me close.

"The rivalry ends here. I love you wise girl."

Then he gave me probably the most passionate kiss of all time.

Gods of Olympus do I love him.

About 2 hours later, the doctor comes out to us.

"Where my mom?" Percy asks, his eyes filled with dread.

"Is she alright?" He asks.

The doctor gives Percy a weary smile.

"Your mother is going to be just fine." The doctor replies.

"But we do need to keep her overnight just to make sure she continues to breath normally and doesn't vomit." He says.

The worry is back in Percy's eyes and Paul can see it. He steps in.

"What's wrong with her?" He asks.

The doctor looks at the ground then back up at Paul.

"She has something wrong with her kidney. It may need removed."

Paul puts his hand on Percy's shoulder.

"We'll do whatever we have to." He says.

"Can we see her?" Percy asks, squeezing my hand.

I can tell he's scared. Heck, I am too.

The doctor smiles.

"Right this way."

He guides us down the hall into a room that isn't that big but only for one patient. So I guess that's good.

It has a single hospital bed, large windows looking outside with dark purple drapes, a tv, a couch, and a computer for the doctors.

Sally tries at a smile as we walk in.

"Hi." She says.

"Mom." Percy says, rushing to her side.

She kisses his forehead.

"Hi hunny." He says.

He starts to tear up.

"Mom..."

Sally hugs him.

"It's okay now." She says.

"It's all going to be okay."
