Percabeth One Shots💅🏻✨

29. Why are you back?

Annabeth rolled out of bed and kissed Luke's forehead, Luke has a doctor's appointment that she can't afford to take him to but he needs it, he's been coughing up lungs.

"Luke hon, come on we have to get to the doctors."

"But Mom..." Just like his dad she thought, then her heart hurt thinking of his dad. His dad. Percy Jackson. Here one day, gone the next. No explanation, no note, no goodbye, just... Gone.

Once they were dressed Annabeth popped waffles into the toaster for Luke, who stumbled out of their room, shirt disheveled, but on. His little pants pulled up, and fashionably ripped, of course they couldn't afford to buy actual ripped jeans, but when he was playing with Piper's daughter on the playground she knocked him to ground ripping his jeans. At first Annabeth was upset, but Luke seemed pleased with his newly fashionable jeans.

"Mom I'm ready." He yawned and put on his coat.

"Okay Lukey, here you go." She handed him the waffles and they walked out of their apartment. His little hand gripping hers. His raven black hair, untamable just like his dad, in his face. He wears it just the way Percy did, but Annabeth couldn't tell him not to wear his hair the way he wants.

They get out to the car and she sees a familiar mop of black hair across the street, causing her stomach to drop. She does a double take and its no longer there. She must be seeing things. Yeah that must be it. She helps Luke buckle and then gets in herself.
She drives over to the only clinic that takes their insurance and she sees it again! She sees the mop of black hair, and its gone again. She can't help but think that it is Percy. He used to be terrified of her, but eventually opened up to her. When he left she didn't know she was pregnant but she's strong, it's Annabeth Jac- Chase. Annabeth Chase.
She gets Luke out, and carries him in. He's ten, but he likes when she carries him. Besides she wouldn't want him getting lost or hurt. He's all she has left of Percy.

She takes him up to the clinic and checks him in. When she put him on the ground. Luke ran off, she assumed to play with the toys in the waiting room. Once he's all checked in Annabeth went to check on Luke but when she saw he wasn't there she started freaking out. How could she not? Her child is just gone. Did what happen to Percy happen to Luke? She started searching her bag for her phone when a man walked up to her.

"I believe this is yours." He smiled his troublemaker smile and Annabeth's breath hitched.

"Did you take him?!" She didn't care she was making a scene. How dare he show up here and 'return' her son!

"No... he saw something and went running after it. When I saw him outside, with no parental supervision I figured he got out of your sight, so I brought him back." Percy put Luke down next to Annabeth.

"Where did you go?" Percy's face fell.

"I shouldn't have left. I had an opportunity to pursue my swimming career, and I didn't think you'd want to move to the middle of nowhere and—"

"Thats... THATS WHY YOU JUST UP AND LEFT?" Her stare pouring into him, rocking his core. He missed her.

"Well I—"

"No Percy, no. Why are you even back? Let alone stalking us?"

"I wanted to apologize."

"Oh okay all good!" Sarcasm thick in her voice.

"I really am sorry." He scratched the back of his neck in that cute way he used to do. "I-I'm back now."

"Oh whoopee."

"Wh-who's this big guy?"

"Luke."

"I'm Luke. Who are you?"
