Pertemis One-Shots

Percy PoV

Artemis closed her eyes, head rested on my chest. "You alright?" I asked.

She murmured something incoherent, and I kissed her forehead.

I slipped out of bed and piled a bunch of blankets on top of her. I also retrieved lots of snacks and some of her favourite movies.

Artemis snuggled into my chest, kissing my cheek.

I pulled the blankets up and kissed her nose.

"People think I married you because of your bravery or something like that," she murmured. "I married you because of this."

I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and watched as my wife stretched out to grab a cookie.

Artemis snuggled in close to me, and I pecked her temple. "I love you."

"I love you too, my Moon," I replied.

My wife closed her eyes when she kissed me.

I held her as she kissed me hungrily.

She pulled away and broke down.

"It's not fair," Artemis hiccuped. "It's not fair..."

She repeated this continually until she fell asleep.

My Moon was right. It wasn't fair that she'd had a miscarriage. It wasn't even her fault.

I had gotten Artemis pregnant, which was obviously planned as we had been married for several months.

Zeus ordered Artemis and her unit, her hunters, to attack a monster nest that was far too large for her hunters to handle. They may have been kick-ass, but it was about 30 monsters for every hunter.

My Artemis used too much of her energy, and she lost the baby.

My wife curled into my side, falling into a deep sleep.

When I rolled over the next morning, Moon was not in bed with me.

I groaned and sat up, rubbing my face.

My wife came out of the bathroom unusually excited, almost skipping.

She smiled.

I quickly got out of bed and pulled her close. "What is it?"

"Percy," she began. "We're expecting!"

I smiled. "That's wonderful, love."

I hugged her tightly, pressing my lips to her forehead.
