Ok so I know it's been a while since I updated but in my defense I've got English class right now and it's a lot of writing. Sorry loves.

Percy's POV

"Wise girls where's my Nemo socks?" Percy was running around the cabin, frantically packing at the last minute.

"They're under your dresser, I can see them from here. Gods, you're such a seaweed brain," she was sitting in bed flipping the pages of her book. Having packed yesterday, she had no need to be running around like her boyfriend. She looked up to see him shove the socks in his suitcase and run his fingers through his hair, "You know, you wouldn't be so stressed if you had packed yesterday like I told you."

"I know that!" He stormed into the bathroom and immediately walked out with a guilty look on his face, "sorry Annabeth, I'm just really worried. I want everything to go perfect."

Annabeth gently bookmarked her page and set her book to the side. Moving over to hold him shaking hand in hers. "Everything is going to be fine. Your mom is going to understand, and she's probably going to be thrilled," she places a kiss on his lips a moves his face to look into his eyes, "it's not every day that you're told that you're going to have a grandchild."

He nodded turning around, "where's my toothbrush?" His hands never stopped shaking.

Half an hour later when they were sitting I the camp half blood van his hands were still shaking, despite her holding them in her own.

When they arrived at Sally's house he spent two minutes waiting outside the door until he finally opened it.

"Hey mom, I'm home!" He put on his most cheery smile, and when his mom came running into the foyer he picked he up in a giant bear hug and spun her around.

When Sally moved on to greet Annabeth she pulled her into a tight hug, "hello dear, we've missed you so much."

"Thank you Ms.Jackson."

"There's no need for any of that here, you can call me mom." She grabbed Annabeth's luggage despite her many protests, and set them down beside the couch. She also aimed a heavily raised eyebrow at her son when he picked it right back up and carried it to his room.

She looked over to Annabeth next who merely blushed and sat down on the couch, waiting impatiently for Percy to return. When he came back and sat beside Annabeth Sally's mood brightened until she noticed how much his hands were shaking.

"Is everything all right darling," her worried looks could burn a whole into his heart.

"Everything's okay mom. I just...um...I just have something I need to tell you. We were going to wait until dinner but..." a long pause as he looked down at his lap and then over to Annebeth who gave him an encouraging nod, "okay, well the thing is... the thing is that Annabeth is...well she's." He looked over at her for support.

"I'm pregnant." Her face a mask of indifference.

"Oh," she tightened her grip on Paul's hand beside her. She looked over at Percy and a slight bit of disappointment passed over her face. At this he broke down; sobbing into his hands as if she had told him he was a disgrace.

Sally moved from the couch to comfort him and Annabeth kissed his forehead before moving towards the kitchen with Paul trailing behind her.

After they had left he was alone with his mom, he couldn't bear to meet her eyes. She lowered herself onto the couch beside him and reached for his hand bringing her other up to stroking his cheek. He slowly raised his head to look her in the eye, "I'm sorry mama." His tear streaked face burning with regret, "we thought everything would be fine. We did everything right, you know Annabeth, she would have if not. It's because of Aphrodite, the gods won't stop fucking with our lives and now everyone's going to think we're just dumb teenagers who couldn't keep it in their pants."

"She did this on purpose!"

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do."

"I'm so sorry Percy, I want you to know that I'm here for you. Me and Paul will make sure you have anything you need okay, just let us know."

"Thanks mom," he wiped his tears on his sleeve and brought her in for a hug.

"And if it's any conciliation you and Annabeth are going to be amazing parents."

"Do you think so?"

She gave him an award winning smile, "I know so."

When they made their way to kitchen Paul and Annabeth had set the table and finished with supper. Paul pulled him into a hug and patted him on the back before pulling his wife into the kitchen for who knows what.

He took a seat next to Annabeth at the table and smiled, pulling her into a one armed hug.

"I'm assuming that means it went well?"

"Yeah, it went just fine." He looked at her, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"See, I told you it would. Your mom loves you so much, and she is going to support you no matter what."

"She's going to support us no matter what. She's also going to get more insistent with the you calling her mom thing, you know that right?"

She nodded.

"Good." He pulled her into a quick hug and kissed her on the cheek before looking over the meal set out on the table.

Sally and Paul came back in carrying a bowl of blue mashed potatoes and Percy looked like he had just entered heaven.

"Blue is for special occasions right, I would consider this a special occasion." She set the bowl down right in front of Percy and he eyed it hungrily.

"Thanks mom."

"Yeah, thanks mom." He could see his mom's eyes light up as Annabeth chimed in beside him.

"No problem dears," she said eyes filling up with tears as she reached for the plate in the middle, "chicken anyone?"

The next few hours were filled with questions they wanted to know the due date, if they had thought of names, who their doctor was, what their university plans were now, whether they were going to get married, and so, so many others. Him and Annabeth answered them all happily just relieved that Sally was on their side, because if she was there for you nothing could go wrong.

He smiled as they collapsed into bed that night, exhausted and delighted. They had gotten the hardest part of the week out of they way, and now they could spend time with their family. He pulled his wise girl clase to him a kissed her. He smiled as he ran his fingers through her hair, and they fell asleep in each others arms. He didn't stop smiling the whole night and his dreams were filled with the love of his life smiling up at his as she held their child in her arms.

A/N
So about the whole break of schedule thing. As an apology I'm hoping to get two more chapters out by Tuesday. The bad news is that we're approaching finals so there might be a few more weeks of nothing after this. The good news is that after that I'm thinking of adding more chapters to my update schedule. Hope you enjoyed Jane a great day.
