(Annabeth's POV)

I fidgeted with the small box that held Percy's present.  The box that held our future in it.  Percy was finally coming home to day from his three month long marine biology trip for work, then we'd be off to spend our weekend at camp. I hid the present in the cupboard, then  I straighten our wedding photo for the ninth time today.  I nervously paced around the apartment knitting and unknitting my hands together. As I was pacing, I saw the Polaroids of Me and Percy when we were younger and stopped to look at them.  The first one was of Me spoon-feeding Percy ambrosia and smirking, which Chiron secretly took, another one was of me giving him a kiss on the cheek after we won the chariot races, Me and him at the campfire after we bared the titans curse, when I gave him the blue cupcake, When Percy proposed at the lake, the list goes on and on.  Each is a milestone in our relationship and this will be as well. Two minutes later, the door opened and in came a tall, tan man with sea green eye's and unruly raven black hair.  My Seaweed Brain.  I ran into his arms and he spun me around. 

"Wise girl!" he exclaimed, as he spun me around. 

"Percy!" this went on for about a minute before I had to stop him. "Ok stop it percy! Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!" I yelled but I could help laughing as I said it.

We packed up for camp and I made sure to grab the box from the cupboard while he was still packing. It was only about a thirty minute drive to camp so it wasn't to much of a trip.  We hiked up the hill and heard the conch shell signaling it was time for dinner.  We went down to the pavilion at sat down at the Poseidon table, Percy ordered a blue steak with blue fries and his usual blue coke and I ordered a cheeseburger with salt and vinegar chips and a vanilla milkshake.  When it was time for the sing-along, Percy went back to the cabin. I'll tell him afterwords I thought but when I got there he was asleep, and incase you were wondering, yes, he still drooled when he sleeps. I wiped it from his chin, grabbed the box and placed it on his nightstand.  I crawled into the bunk crossed from him a fell asleep.  

(Percy's POV)

I woke up at about three in the morning and saw a present on my nightstand.  I grabbed it and walked into the bathroom so I could see it better without waking up Annabeth.  When I opened it, I dropped it and my hands flew to my mouthing shock. For what was inside was a pregnancy test. A positive pregnancy test.  I quickly grabbed it, put it back in the box and went to gently shake Annabeth's shoulder.

"Percy," she groaned groggily. "Can't it wait till morning?"

I shook my head fervently.  Once she saw the box she sat up.

"Did... did you see what was inside?" 

I nodded. "Is it true?"

There was silence for a moment.  "Yes." Annabeth said, finding a sudden interest in her feet.

"Annabeth! This is amazing! Were gonna have a mini you or a mini me -though I'd prefer a mini you- running around here! And you," I got down on one knee and kissed her knuckles. "Are going to be the best mom ever."

"Aww," she put her free hand on her chest "Thanks!"

"How far along are you?"

"About three and a half months"

"Can I... can I see?" I ask pointing to her stomach.

"Yeah, sure." she answered as she laid back down.

I lifted up her shirt and gasped at the small bump that had formed. I leaned in closer and kissed Annabeth's stomach.  Then I climbed into her bed (even though it was definitely not meant for two people) and wrapped my hand around her.

"I never thought I'd live to see this day." I said, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Me either." Annabeth agreed and I could tell she was close to crying as well. "I love you, seaweed brain" she snuggled closer.  

I wrapped my arm tighter around her.  "I love you too, Wise girl."

And that's how we stayed for the rest of the night.

A/N: Did I cross the line for fluff? Is there a line for fluff?  I don't know but I'm going to bed because it's almost 2am. 

Good night
